Chapter 7

Fifth Year Pari Dearborn, daughter of Dean Thomas and Pavarti Patil both former Dumbledore’s Army members was bent herself and threw parties every year for three years for bent witches and wizards of all genders.

Teddy had always graciously declined the invitation but this year with his obsessive hunger for Scorpius he felt he couldn’t resist.

Scorpius would likely torment anyone else he took to the party so on the way to Care of Magical Creatures he called out, “hey Scor…um wait up…”

Scorpius stiffened at the sound of his voice, they’d made up after Teddy had to practically grovel for claiming that Scorpius was playing a head game with him rather than offering his own heart.

“So um…I was thinking…of attending Pari’s party this year.”

Scorpius glared, “With whom?”

“Uh…you? I don’t want to go with anyone else…and you’d make them only wish they were as distained as Vi…Prefect Delacour-Weasley.” Teddy stammered.

“I would be less tolerant of someone dating you than confessing or snogging. I don’t share…” Scorpius sniffed.

“Don’t worry I’m far more loyal that Uncle Ron.” Teddy growled; he liked his cousins Rose and Ray. He hoped that they weren’t suffering too badly with gossip.

Nothing happened in front of him so he didn’t know.

“Since you are asking me to the party my answer is yes you will go and I shall accompany you.” Scorpius said pompously.

Fabian snickered, “Good for you both. Now if only my love life had half a shot at happiness.”

Scorpius smirked, “How unsuitable is the person you’ve set your cap on?”

“It will be harder to convince them and it will be more controversial perhaps than Rose and Domi if they ever get together.” Fabian said.

“Ah so it’s still that person for you.” Scorpius mused.

Fabian winced, “You know?”

“Bit hard not to when you’re watching them all the time and glaring daggers into their spouse’s back. You really must have good instincts to guess that they are unhappy.”

Fabian scowled, “Nothing altruistic as that. I just felt that I should be with them. That I was given this second chance for a reason. I think I loved them before I knew what romantic love was.”

“I know the feeling,” Scorpius glanced up at Teddy behind his long lashes, “It was the same for me…”

“Well,” Fabian gave them a tight smile, “I hope you two will be happy. You give me hope…”

“If you are as much like Uncle Fred and Great-Uncle as they claim you won’t fail to get your man.” Teddy said clasping him on the shoulder.

“We…they were idiots. They had the person they wanted beside them the entire time. Instead of pursuing them they dallied with other girls, at least Uncle Fabian saw sense before he died. I…Fred went to his death stubbornly refusing to prove he was the better man.” Fabian grumbled, “Come on…let’s go to class.”

Teddy was frowning when Fabian took off, “I’m worried about him. How do you know who he cares for?”

Scorpius sniffed, “I’m not oblivious. It’s rather apparent when you know the signs. You recognized Domi and Rose right?”

It was curious how Domi was Domi and Vicki was Prefect Delacour-Weasley…

Then against Domi was completely absorbed in her Rose…

Teddy hoped that Fabian would have a chance.

Just how unsuitable was the person he loved for him? Fabian was too nice a guy to be lonely…

XoooooX

Scorpius hoped that Fabian’s love saw the wisdom of letting his mate’s best friend heal their heart. Hopefully, the age difference wouldn’t matter…

He had a feeling that this person’s bonding would be severed soon.
