Scorpius Malfoy's birthday passed him by, as did the countless other students littering the Hogwarts halls. Friendships were foreign - often, he found himself tongue-tied, trying to withhold a conversation. In most instances, he found it simpler to push them away. However, after a chorus of Happy Birthday is sung to Scorpius, conducted by his estranged dormmate Albus Severus, he finds his life flipped upside down.

(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 :)

Scorpius Malfoy didn't know what was going on. Albus, his best and only friend, had kissed him, and he liked it. === NON MAGICAL AU

Scorpius has been in love with his best friend, Albus Severus Potter, for years. However, he's much too frightened to open his mouth and tell the boy how he feels. Albus Potter has denied his feelings for Scorpius Malfoy ever since he met him, as he's always been frightened Scorpius wouldn't return the attraction. However, you can't hide these things from your best friend forever, so - who'll crack first?
