Scorpius had managed to get a good bottle of merlot and had charmed it to the proper temperature. There was a myth that all reds should be at room temperature, but the problem with that supposition was that it assumed all rooms were the same. There was a proper chill that was perfect for a red, and Scorpius made sure to get to just that point before he decanted it and let it breathe.
It was strange having wine of his own to do this with, and oddly enough, that almost more than anything else made him feel like an adult. His wine, his house, his glass... he heard footsteps in the hall and mentally amended that to include his mum.
He poured a second glass and had it out, offering it as she came into sight. "Wine?"
