Setting: Slytherin Common Room

Trigger Warnings: Mention of something that would be quite morbid if it weren't a joke.


Albus is STILL reading the Daily Prophet when Scorpius, now in a relationship with the love of his life, enters.

Scorpius: Hey Albus?

Albus: Yeah?

Scorpius: Remember when you said you wouldn't get hostile if I fell in love with Lily?

Albus (not even looking up, knowing what comes next): You fell in love with Lily, didn't you?

Scorpius (there's blood on his sweater already, Mom's spaghetti): Well, let's just say the triplets got to her first, but I got there in time to check them. When I was walking Lily back to her common room, she started crying. In that moment when I was comforting her... I kinda, sorta, told her that I love her - which is something I've been keeping hidden for a while... And I know it's your sister but I just couldn't help myself... I may or may not have kissed her too. I- I'm so sorry, I know you probably don't wanna be hearing this right now-

Albus (happy for Scorpius): Honestly, mate, it's chill! In fact, that was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Is she your girlfriend now?

Scorpius (no longer terrified): Yeah. I'm so glad you're okay with it, mate! But, do you promise me you won't tell James? Or ANYONE for that matter? 'Cause if word gets back-

Albus (finishing Scorpius' sentence): James will rip out your intestines and decorate the Great Hall with them on Halloween, I know. Don't worry; I won't utter a word.

Scorpius: Thanks, Al.

Albus: No worries, mate.

Scorpius sits down.

Albus: How are you going to meet up though? You can't go to either of the common rooms, and you can't be out in the corridors at night.

Scorpius: I don't know... Are students still allowed to explore the Chamber of Secrets?

Albus: I think so. They used Muggle technology to get rid of all the spiders, and Lily's been wanting to go down there for ages, but she could never find the time.

Scorpius: Perfect! We can go down there then - if she's comfortable of course.

Albus: Alright, it's settled. I'll ask Lily about the Chamber tomorrow.

Scorpius: Brilliant!

The boys continue chatting about Scorpius' experience with Lily as we cut to black.
