It's his first year as a student at Hogwarts School For Witchcraft and Wizardry, as a Slytherin no less much to his father's disappointment, and Albus (Severus) Potter has made fast friends of Scorpius Malfoy. Albus is quite reluctant to return home for the Christmas holiday, which prompts Scorpius to tell him that his mother, Astoria, has invited him spend the holiday with them at the Malfoy Manor.
