The Cursed Child remimagined

Chapter 6

Whilst it had been a completely hellish first year, Remus was still excited to go back to Hogwarts. He was on the platform with his dad. His mum was talking with his Uncles Seamus and Dean, who were waving their twins off for their first year¹. Lily was off playing with Hugo. James had fun off as soon as he'd seen Teddy. Last week they'd announced they were dating. Although Remus had known since the start of the holiday, when he walked in on them kissing.

"Hey Remus," Harry said, " Is everything alright at school? " You didn't really talk about it in the holidays. " Remus paused, he didn't really want to tell his Dad about what people called him. Then he remembered that his Dad of all people would know how to deal with them. "They call me the Slytherin Squib." Remus muttered. He looked up at his Dad and was rage mixed with sympathy flash across his face. "Have you told McGonagall about this?" Harry asked. Remus shook his head and said, " I didn't see the point. " Harry now just looked upset, "There's always a point Remus. I will talk to McGonagall myself if I have to." " No Dad please don't, I promise to talk to her when I get the chance. " Remus said looking embarrassed.

He then saw his beat friend stood next to their father. With the two stood side by side, Remus realised just how similar they looked. They both had the same platinum blonde hair and cool grey eyes. How ever Scorpius' face lacked Draco's high cheekbones and aristocratic nose. He instead had his mother's rosey cheeks and rounder face. He watched Draco's bend down and say something to his son. Scottish turned around and waved at Remus. "Who's that?" Harry asked confused. Remus blushed slightly , "My uh my best friend Scorpius Malfoy." If it bothered Harry that his and Draco's son were best friend's he didn't show it. Instead he said, " Just best friends? By the look on your face I would've guessed something more. " Remus was completely shocked at his father's words, he had turned deep red and was trying to avoid his gaze. "Maybe I want that." Remus muttered, staring intently at his shoes. " I knew it! Ginny I told it runs in the family! " Harry shouted triumphantly. "What do you mean?" Remus asked, a confused look on his face. "Wow I didn't tell either of you. I'm bi, my dad was bi, James is gay and your clearly into guys." Harry explained triumphantly . Remus laughed loudly, letting to of the weight he'd been carrying around.

He wrapped his arms tightly around his Dad's waist, before yelling a quick goodbye and running over to Scorpius. Before he could even think about it he hugged his best friend as well. "We don't hug." Scorpius said with a questioning tone in his voice. " We do now. " Remus said over the moon to see him again. Scorpius laughed and hugged Remus back. "Come on," Remus said, "We're going to miss the train." The two pelted towards the express and threw themselves through the closing doors. They searched for somewhere to sit, but unfortunately for them there were no empty compartments. "Let's just go here." Scorpius said, pointing at a compartment to Remus' left . He pushed it open, revealing a missing James and Teddy who promptly broke apart blushing. "My eyes!" Remus said, covering his face in mock embarrassment . He then say down darling his legs over his brother's lap. "Get off you tosser." James said, moving so close to Teddy he was practically on top of him.

The quiet conversation was broken when Remus shouted, "Ew!" Spitting out a bogey flavoured Berty Bott's that James had given him. " You know what Scorp, I think we should move. " Remus said glaring at his brother, who was laughing into Teddy's robes. Scorpius and Remus left slamming the door behind then. "Merlin I had that twat." Remus growled. Scorpius couldn't help but laugh at his friends expense. Remus (looking annoyed) dragged Scorpius into the furthest compartment away from James and Teddy's. Inside that compartment was Rose and her friends Alice Longbottom and Dai² Flint-Wood. Remus and Rose had remained quite close, but had definitely gone their own separate ways since starting Hogwarts. Mainly because Rose was obsessed with Quidditch, whereas Remus didn't really care for it. "Oh hey Remus." Rose said looking up from the chocolate frog cards in her hand. "Mind if we sit?" Remus asked. " Sure."
Rose and her friends moved up a bit, to let the boys sit down. The rest of the journey was spent in an awkward silence.

Notes: 1. See J.K it's not that hard.
2. They obviously named her after a quidditch player. She was named after "Dangerous" Dai Llewellyn who was a very famous Welsh wizard and Quidditch player for the Caerphilly Catapults, and was noted for the risks he took during a match. He's a man but oh well.

JEDDY!!!
