Scorpius was in his room. It wasn’t late, but life here was a lot different. Meals were at certain times mostly and if you wanted to socialize, you ended up going to meals even though you could eat in your room. Scorpius had done it a few times, but being alone all day was driving him crazy, so common meals it was.
The evenings were even more lonesome, because people had their little groups and stayed with each other. Scorpius didn’t have anyone other than his dad and he spent a lot of evenings with Mr Potter. Not that Scorpius blamed him, but it severely limited his entertainment.
When he heard the knock, he assumed that it was indeed his father. He opened the door with a ‘Hi,Dad’. He froze when he saw who it was. “Albus!” He threw his arms around his friend and hugged him tight. “Merlin, it’s so good to see you. I was hoping that you’d arrive. How are you? Where are you staying? You need something close to here, but we can share for tonight. Did I mention that I missed you?”
