A year after "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" ended and Scorpius and Albus are starting their fifth year in Hogwarts. Still the outcasts only having each other. But the more time they spend together the more they feel attached...maybe as more than friends. They discover difficulties but slowly try to get through them and find their love.

We are too drunk and he is too close and even though we are in a room full of people, we are too alone. -------------------------- Notes: This fan fiction is dedicated to people who have experienced loss, people who were bullied, who struggled with their sexuality and or their race. People who use humour as their coping mechanism. People who feel like outcasts and freaks. People who fell in love with their best friends. You are not alone. You are Albus. And this is our story. It is also dedicated to grief, for showing me the true price for love. And most importantly dedicated to my one and only best friend. This story would not have seen the light of day, had our paths not diverged and our friendship not quietly scattered to the winds. In the closing of chapters, I made sure that the echo of our promises that we once held were not just words, but something truly heard. I will never not think of you during storms. Make sure to leave your thoughts and enjoy ;) This story can be also found on Ao3.

As they enter their 5th year at Hogwarts, following their eventful fourth year (some events from the cursed child may be mentioned in the story briefly), Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Potter are harboring two huge secrets. They completely and utterly adored each other. **Yes I am aware that technically this story would be set in modern times basically but I don't like the idea of phones and technology and stuff at hogwarts cuz it ruins the magic and charm of harry potter for me a lil so just go wit it..

After defeating Delphi, Albus and Scorpius are back in Hogwarts, right in the middle of their fifth year. Things are wholly different, now. Scorpius and Rose are dating, walking hand-in-hand in the corridors and Albus cannot help but feel jealous of the two. The sweltering question was: why was he jealous? Some things, however, remained the same. The bullies. The prejudice. The uncertainty. But that wasn't the worst of it. Albus thought he could forget about the horrors of what had happened last year with Delphi, but after a sinister lesson orchestrated by a familiar face, it seems that the past has a firm grip on both Albus and Scorpius. It is up to the two of them to defeat their qualms once and for all: before history repeats itself. *I edited "The Inevitable Fate" to make Albus have brown skin since that's how I have always seen him. :) * *I do NOT support transphobic J.K. Rowling*

(popular albus x nerd scorpius) it's not scorpius's fault he's in love with albus potter. who isn't? as for albus, well, he's just trying to figure out why he's so enamoured by the quiet, slightly anxious nerd he was partnered with in potions class. based on a request i got on tumblr :)
