AN: I understood the assignment ;)

Y'all thought the adults were chaotic? Here's Jack.

Setting: Slytherin Common Room

Trigger Warnings: Mentions of drugged food


Fifth years Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy sit by the fire reading their own individual copies of "The Daily Prophet".

Albus (Pointing at the front of his newspaper): Ayo, check this out!

Scorpius goes to Albus and looks over his shoulder to read the paper.

Scorpius: Rita Skeeter got arrested?!

Albus: Yeah. Apparently, she admitted to selling drugged puking pasties to some sixth years in Knockturn Alley over spring break.

Scorpius: Oh yeah, Jaxon Dursley told me all about that in the prefect's lounge. Desmond Boot fell for the trap, and now he's in St. Mungos. Do you think she'll go to Azkaban for it?

Albus: I hope so. She's done enough to my family as it is, (getting increasingly unhinged) and now she's DRUGGING PUKING PASTIES- I- Like- No. JAIL.

Scorpius: Honestly, I hope she's locked up too... speaking of family, I got a letter from Dad this morning.

Albus: Did the coffee machine break again?

Scorpius: Well, there was that, but the rest seemed lowkey cracked. Dad just told me the Wotters were joking around at the Ministry meeting saying that I might fall for Lily now that I'm over Rose. Like, I just gave up on tryna get with your cousin, I'm not gonna start actively pursuing your sister.

Albus: Welp, it's official; My parents are crackheads.

They laugh. There's a beat of silence before Scorpius turns to Albus nervously.

Scorpius: Hey Albus?

Albus: Yeah?

Scorpius: Purely out of curiosity, with no other reasoning whatsoever... Would you be mad if I did fall for your sister?

Albus: Nah. As long as you treat her like she's the only girl in the world... Why? Do you-

Fourth-year Jack Goyle, one of the three triplet sons of Gregory and Pansy Goyle, who had been eavesdropping from across the room, speaks up.

Jack (singing quite horribly, looking at the boys with a mischievous grin): Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world, (starts bopping up and down in his chair) Like I'm the only one that you'll ever know, LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS YOUR HEART! ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD!

Scorpius: Jack, honest question; are you on drugs?

Jack: Nah, bruv, but your conversation was getting stale still, so I needed to do something bare out of pocket to make up for it.

Jack's two brothers, Jake and Jason, enter. Albus and Scorpius decide to eavesdrop on the triplets' conversation. Why? Because payback's a bit-

Jason (whispering to Jack): Oi, I think we should jumpscare the Potter girl. Lucas said he saw her roaming the halls all by herself.

Jake (whispering to the other two boys) Yeah, blud, I bet it'll be loads of fun as long as we don't physically harm her or get caught lacking by any Gryffindor yutes.

Jack (quietly, but not in a whisper) That'd be bare peak, fam! let's do it!

As the triplets run out of the common room (Exit), Albus and Scorpius turn to each other in fear and anger.

Scorpius: Do you think I should go after them?

Albus: Yeah, you should. They're more afraid of you than my 5'6" *ss .

Scorpius (gets up): Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, mate, you've got good biceps and you know it. Anyway, yeah, I'll be right back.

Albus: Alright! Be careful!

Scorpius: Don't worry, I will be!

Scorpius walks over, repairs the vase, and proceeds to exit with great haste.

Albus (to himself): He's right (looks at upper arms, back up again, and smiles) I do have good biceps.

Albus turns back to his paper. We cut to black.
