"It's going," Scorpius said with a sigh as he came into the room. He had really missed his friend. It was like a rift in his absence, with just himself and Rose. But now they were a trio again. "Just me and my secrets, and.. fears." He shuddered momentarily, moving to a chair.
He looked up at Albus then. "There's something else too, Al. There's this.. girl. Yes, a girl." He laughed softly. "I was talking to her. About you know.. boyfriends, girlfriends, that kind of thing. I was doing the charm thing.. you know how it is, I guess." He winked playfully, before looking serious again. "But.. damn, it backfired. I may have instead.. sent her toward another guy. And that's cool, it is. Really. I was just hoping to meet a girl here. But how about you, have you met anyone interesting?"
