Re: Scor/Lori
"The Hat certainly knew what it was doing when it Sorted me," he agreed, sipping at his new drink. It was slightly stronger than the last one, but after the first few sips he could barely taste the alcohol.
He laughed, but more because Scorpius looked so cute, and not because he'd understood a word of what had just been said. It seemed the alcohol, in Scorpius case and maybe in general, proportionally affected verbal ability. He dind't mind though, it was endearing on Scorpius.
"You can stay with me," he said, without thinking through the consequences. He didn't want Scorpius to go home like this, even with a Sober Up potion, and he enjoyed sleeping--in the true definition of the word--with the other man beside him. "I won't mind."
