Snippet #2486563

Scorpius only stood still as she started toward him, a confident smile playing on his lips. He immediately retrieved his wand after she did, tilting his head to the side slightly.

"You don't want to do that, Potter." He said with a grin, as his fellow Slytherin's joined in behind him, snickering. He watched in amusement as the fiery girl was dragged off to the castle by her brother and teammate. He soon found himself accompanying his classmates back to the castle as well, talking about the match and how it felt good to win a match against Gryffindor.

"I don't think I've seen you quite that shade of red before, Malfoy." said Lawrence. "Don't tell me you have a thing for Potter."

Scorpius followed this accusation up with a switch punch to the arm, narrowing his eyes at the now wincing Lawrence. He didn't quite share the hatred his family was known for, the Potters, although it had greatly improved. He would not, however, be picked on in front of the entire team.

"It's cold outside, idiot. Don't make me do that again." He said with a glare on his face, showing that he meant every word.

"Sorry, man, I didn't mean any harm." Wade said with a wounded look on his face, rubbing the pulsing ache out of his arm.

Scorpius harbored no ill will towards the Potters, but he had no problem poking fun and pushing buttons. He wasn't afraid to admit to himself that he enjoyed it especially with Lily, she had no problem speaking her mind and that's what he enjoyed so much about it. In the Slytherin common room, people are always so reluctant to say anything to offend him. He wasn't his Father, or his Grandfather, but the things his family did were not easily forgotten, and he had to accept that.

"Let's just get something to eat, huh?" said Scorpius as he wrapped his arm around Wade's shoulder, walking into the castle, the sound of bustling students filling his ears.
