(no subject)
Sort of a mini-chapter this week, but I wasn't expecting to get evicted, which cut down on my writing time a bit. Hopefully I'll have an extra-long one next week, anyway...
Title:Crazy III
( part one part two)
Prompts:Person-FLEUR DELACOUR-WEASLEY, Emotion-ENNUI
Albus is too wrapped up in his mission to pay much attention to the fact that Auntie Fleur is giving James what looks like the telling off of a lifetime, right over the counter of the concessions stand, despite the line of angry waiting customers, and his brother doesn’t seem too troubled. James has never been too effected by criticism, but his cheery wave and thumbs-up to Al as he walks by, right in the middle of her tirade, still seems excessive.
He gives the situation just enough thought to register that, yes, it is odd, before interrupting his aunt himself to ask James, “Have you seen Scorpius?”
“I think he was wandering over toward the beach earlier. He looked kind of morose, but he didn’t appreciate me mentioning it. You didn’t stand him up, did you? Bad form to do that on the second date, especially if you want there to be a third.”
“James, you have to stop saying shit to people just to show off your vocabulary, it’s rude. Anyway, ‘morose’ isn’t that impressive.”
“I like it.”
“James, I didn’t stand him up, he said he’d probably see me here today , but he didn’t say where or when. Look, which direction was he headed in?”
******************
Scorpius Malfoy is not morose. He’s…pensive. Introspective. He has a touch of ennui. Yes, that’s right, it’s exactly what his mother would say, but it’s still just about right, because damn.
What are you supposed to do or say to someone you’re supposed to be on a kind of second date with? Is there some kind of form for this kind of thing? It wasn’t covered in his childhood etiquette lessons, and to be perfectly honest, Scorpius Malfoy doesn’t date.
Malfoys don’t date in general, according to is father. Their adolescence is squandered of hookups that are sordid, drunken, or, most often, both, and as soon as they are out of their teens they are bundled off into arranged and loveless marriages in order to carry on the family line. Scorpius never expected to go the arranged marriage route, but one thing’s for sure, sort-of dates with Albus Potter were never supposed to be part of the program.
And speaking of Potter, where was he, anyway?
