Of Potters and Malfoys

Scorpius and Albus didn't get much of a chance to hang out with just each other for the next few days. Rose was always over now. She claimed that Al needed all the support he could get right then, and the adults agreed with her.

On the day of the divorce hearing, the part that interested Al, Rose, and Scorpius the most was where Lily would chose to go.

"I know this must be difficult for you, Miss Potter, but the law says that you are allowed to chose which parent you wish to live with." The Law wizard over-seeing the hearing told her.

"I know. Mum already told me. I thought a lot about this and I decided that I really don't know the Malfoys well enough to live with them like Daddy and Al. But I don't want to live with Mum because I don't think she would like it very much if I went to visit Al and Dad. So I want to live with my grandparents." She announced to everyone present.

"You are sure of this?"

"Very." Lily nodded.

"Very well. Lily Potter is to live with her grandparents until the age of 17 at which time she is of age and free to do as she pleases." Shortly thereafter, everyone was dismissed.

Upon leaving the Ministry, Scorpius took the band out of his hair and let it hang to just past his shoulders. "I still don't see why you insist on having your hair that long, Scorpius." Draco stated. He had never let his hair grow out, knowing his extreme likeness to his father already.

"I know you don't. I like it like this though." Wisely, Al said nothing. He happened to like Scor's hair very much, just the way it was.

Draco and Harry walked on either side of their sons, as far from each other as they could get. Maybe Narcissa was wrong, after all? Al thought. Maybe they only tolerate each other for his and Scor's sake and didn't really like each other. They avoided each other whenever and as best as they could, after all.

Narcissa walked behind the group and observed her son and Harry's behavior in much the same way as Albus. The difference being that she wore a frown and wondered how she could possibly be mistaken about them. She was rarely wrong in these situations. Look at Albus and Scorpius for example. She was right about them. They may not have been telling anyone about their kiss two weeks previous, but she was the one who walked into the room. She knew what had happened and what would if Rose would stay at home tonight.

Luckily Hermione had helped, unknowingly, with that. She had told Rose that she wasn't going to Malfoy Manor the rest of the day. This was partly because she had barely been home and her maternal grandparents were coming over and that Hermione felt Harry and Albus needed time to themselves for today.

Still, Narcissa was glad for this. Her boys were both given the opportunity to be happy and she wanted nothing to stand in the way of said happiness.

***************************

Al lay on his bed at Malfoy Manor, staring up at the ceiling. *I'm glad Lily's staying with Grandma and Grandpa. At least me and Dad will be able to see her still.* He thought. *And Scor hugged me when she announced that!* He smiled before shaking his head. He'd been doing that all afternoon. Every time he tried to think about something, his thoughts turned to Scorpius. Somehow, he would find a way to tie him into whatever thought he was having at the time.

Having decided what to do about this 'problem', Al stood up and walked across the hall. "Scorpius?" He knocked.

***************************

Scorpius lay in his bed thinking only of Albus. He knew his friend was upset in the other room. He knew Al had been hoping Lily would come live at the Manor but he was kinda glad she didn't. He had no problems with her at all, it's just he didn't want Ms. Weasley to come over and raise a fuss about it.

His thoughts never stayed on that track for long though. He thought about the way Al's eyes had lit up when he'd hugged him after Lily announced her desicion. Then, somehow, he started thinking about the look in Al's eyes when they had kissed and what that look would change to if they were doing more than just kissing.

This line of thought led to him needing to take off his jeans when they started uncomfortably tightening. Seeing as he was already shirtless, this left Scorpius in only his boxers. Which were quickly shed so he could take care of his 'problem'.

Scorpius' eyes were closed and he was lost in his fantasy about Albus and so, didn't hear when Al knocked on the door. Nor did he notice when Al opened the door.

***************************

Al opened the door to Scorpius' room when he didn't answer. Maybe he wasn't there? But no, Scor was there. He was laying spread-eagle on his bed, completely naked, wanking. Carefully closing the door behind him and then turning the lock, Albus crept over to Scorpius' bed. Gingerly, he sat on the edge of it.

Al reached out and wrapped his hand around Scor's. "Albus?" Scorpius' eyes flew open.

"Well, now I know why you didn't hear me knock." Al grinned. He removed Scor's hand and replaced it with his own.

"Al...." Whatever Scor had intended to say was cut off when Al flicked the pad of his thumb over the leaking tip of his cock. Scorpius reached out with one hand and pulled Albus, by his neck, down so he could kiss him. "You are entirely too dressed." He managed once they broke apart for air.

Scorpius made short work of Al's clothes and pulled him down onto the bed beside him. Scor wrapped his own had around Al's erection as Al's hand resumed it's earlier motions. Albus crashed their lips together again and they groaned into each others' mouths when they came, minutes later.

They lay facing each other for a few more minutes until Scor reached for his wand to Scorgify them both. "The wards around the Manor let me use magic outside school." He explained when Al raised an eyebrow at him.

"Oh, okay." They were silent for a couple minutes, just enjoying the company of the other and slowly falling asleep. "Hey, Scor?" Al asked, almost asleep.

"Yeah?" Scor answered, not anymore awake than Albus.

"Are you my boyfriend now?"

"Yeah." Scorpius mumbled. They fell asleep, legs tangled together, on top of the blankets.

**************************

And that was how Narcissa found them when she went to call them for dinner. She smiled slightly and pulled the blanket over them both.

"They're both asleep. It seems Scorpius refused to leave Al's side this afternoon and now they've fallen asleep together. Not to worry, boys, the house elves will make sure they get food." She told both fathers when they were seated at the table. They didn't need to know the truth yet.

When she got back to her owns room that night, someone was already there. "Well?"

"Well, Scorpius and Albus are doing just fine but Draco and Harry aren't. As I'm sure you could've guess on your own, Severus." She answered, looking at the ghost standing next to her closed door.

"I told you, you'll never get Draco or Harry to admit the truth. Not easily at the very least."

"But they're perfect for each other, Severus. You and I both know that. We just have to make them see it."

"Good luck, Cissy. You're going to need it." With a slight bow, Severus Snape disappeared once again.

A/N: Sev will only appear in the story as a ghost and then only to Narcissa. So, he won't be here very often. Thought I should let you know.
