At The Train Station 2022; Albus's fifth year

"Scorpius!!" screamed Albus.
Scorpius looked up and whispered "Albus!"
They both run hugging, they haven't seen each other at all over the summer, it's way too dangerous after Pansy Parkinson escaped from Azkaban, instead, they've sent letters with their owl telling each other everything. Ginny and Astoria run off together talking all about their summers, they've become friends after finding out about Scorpius and Albus becoming friends. Harry and Draco still do not talk at all unless they're forced to. Every time they see each other they say only one word.
"Malfoy," says Harry.
"Potter," answers Draco.

"Alright you two best be off," Harry says.
"Bye Dad," Scorpius and Albus yelled.

At Hogwarts

The train finally took off and hours later they arrived at Hogwarts, Albus notices Hagrid right away and runs to him for a hug after not seeing him over the holidays.
"How yer doin' Mr. Albus," asked Hagrid
"I'm alright, Hagrid."
Scorpius is already yawning after the feast and is waiting for Albus but as always he walks Lily Luna to the Fat Lady to tell Lily goodnight. Scorpius falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. But Albus can not sleep, he's never had problems sleeping but a spot of his head hurts horribly, the same spot that is on his father's head. He took it as his father was in danger and panicked for the rest of the night until he finally fell asleep.
It's already been a week at Hogwarts, Albus can guess it's going to be a fast year.

"Hagrid, have you seen Scorp anywhere?" Albus asked. "He disappeared after breakfast."
"Er- no I have't not."
"Here I am, Potter," yelled Scorpius.
"Where have you been?" asked Albus
"Oh I- I -er- was retaking a quiz for - uh - Professor Flitwick," nervously lied Scorpius.

An hour before

"Professor McGonagall, I come from a family of pure-blood evil, I come from a family of death eaters! You've already seen that Pansy Parkinson has escaped! My father may have hated it but he was still a death eater. W-What if that means I'll become bad too? Albus would hate me!" cried Scorpius.
McGonagall sighed, stopped what she was doing, and turned to face Scorpius "Malfoy first of all you do not need to worry about Parkinson. Now I want you to listen to me very carefully. You are not a bad person, we all have both light and dark moments but that does not make you a bad person! What matters....is the part where you choose to act on. That's what truly matters."
For the first time in over 4 years, he started to cry. For a moment he felt as if all the broken pieces inside him were fixed. "But how can you be sure?"
McGonagall turns to Scorpius and says "I'm not sure, I can never be sure about the future, Mr. Malfoy. But it's your actions that will make your future hard. I can sense that something horrible is about to happen but Albus has rubbed off on you, I just wish Harry Potter did the same with your father." She was right, he only wished his father was here to hear this. It is his life though and at that moment he promised himself to always be the better person for himself. For Albus.

It isn't going to be a fast year...

*Pancy Parkinson was put in Azkaban after being a secret death eater and murdering Colin Creevey and many others in the battle at Hogwarts.*
