After graduating from Hogwarts, Scorpius Malfoy moves to Edinburgh to study at university. He invites his best friend, Albus Severus Potter, to stay with him over the Christmas holidays. The holiday would be perfect if it weren't for Albus' growing and confused feelings about his best friend...

Voldemort is dead. The Augurey is imprisoned. All is well in the Wizarding World. Once again Scorpius and Albus are friends, the best of friends. But with fifth year approaching and the world seeing them in a new light they begin to ask themselves the question; just how deep can friendship run before it becomes something else? #equestrianawards2017 **SPOILERS: This FanFic contains spoilers and plot points from Harry Potter & the Cursed Child!**

Propelled into 1995 by a cursed mirror, Albus and Scorpius are torn apart - and the nightmare begins. While Albus is taken in by the Order of the Phoenix, Scorpius falls straight into the wolf's den: Malfoy Manor, now serving as Lord Voldemort's headquarters. Silenced by a spell that prevents them from revealing the future, they must survive in a terrifying era where every choice can alter the course of time. When History itself threatens to crush them, one question remains: how far will they go to find each other again?

Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Potter have decided fifth year is going to be their year; the year everything falls into place for them both and the year they show the bullies they aren't afraid of them. Scorpius receives a prefect badge and Albus is going to join the Quidditch team, if Scorpius can just convince him that he should try out. It's going to be the year everything works out for them, and if that means Scorpius keeping his huge crush on his best friend a secret, then that's just what he's going to have to do. It's just a crush. He can get over it well before fifth year is over, can't he? ⚠️I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS THEY BELONG TO JK ROWLING THIS IS PURELY FANFICTION⚠️
