Lily's advice had been sound. Being out at the Muggle club with her friends was actually a good idea. Scorpius was enjoying the music, the drinks, and dancing around with Lily's friends, or any random person there who wanted to dance with him. The music was upbeat, and then as the lights flickered, he found himself smiling more and more.
He felt like his head was finally in the clouds as he didn't care about anything else. Just having fun.
Of course, it was short-lived because as Scorpius went around the club, exploring different rooms, he ran right into the two people he'd not wanted to think about or see. James and Teddy. They were standing at the bar, looking somewhat grim, as Teddy ordered a drink while James was still sipping his.
He wasn't sure if they'd seen him yet, and he wondered if he should just walk away. Go back to the group he came with, or even, make an excuse to leave all together.
He realised enough was enough. He was done hiding. He'd not done anything wrong, and maybe Lily was right, he was being a baby. Okay, she'd not said that but he surely was acting like it. If Albus was acting this way, that's what Scorpius would say.
Maybe it was the liquid courage, because he sure as hell wasn't a Gryffindor, that Scorpius walked up to them. When James's eyes widened, Scorpius figured they hadn't seen him, and it would have been easy for him to run away. James tapped Teddy who turned around and instead of looking shell-shocked like James, Teddy actually smiled. He gave him the biggest grin in the world and Scorpius's heart filled with warmth. He'd missed his friend so much.
"Hi," he said, smiling. "Sorry I've been weird, but since we're all here...I figured I'd say hello."
"So you've stopped hating me," James asked, sounding cautious.
Scorpius looked at Teddy and rolled his eyes. "I never hated you both. I was just...surprised. I'm sorry about the way I've been acting. Just wanted to say I'm happy for you both. You're both very lucky." And with a nod, Scorpius turned around and decided to walk away.
He wanted to say a million other things. Know a million other things, like, did Harry and his father know? Did anyone in the family? What about Victoire? Teddy and her were so on and off, did she know that Teddy fancied men too? Or was it just James?
As he almost reached the end of the room to go downstairs to the dancefloor where his friends were, Scorpius felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Stay," Teddy said, leaning in and whispering in Scorpius's ear. His warm breath sent shivers down Scorpius's spine, and what was happening? Why did he feel like that from Teddy?
James came around the other side and ran his fingers through Scorpius's hair. "We have a lot to tell you."
Scorpius felt himself being pulled away. Also posted on my dreamwidth page here. Comment wherever you'd like.
