Who: Jamie/Scorpius
When: mid morning, 7 May
Where: Hallway
What: Scorpius finds Jamie

Scorpius didn't like what was happening. He could admit that not much had changed for him in terms of work. He'd done whatever schedules he could (which was limited, considering the problems going on) and then had spent time with Parvati, looking at magazines and making sketches of what clothes they'd like to do.

Personally, it was a shit show. He could practically feel the glee emanating from his grandfather, even if he wasn't saying anything. His father was absolutely miserable and had missed lunch two days in a row, and he had a feeling that day three might follow. He hadn't spoken to Al, but apparently he'd lost his bloody mind the day before. The last time things had felt so tense, one person died, one left and two were sent back which was as good as being dead. Even Savannah seemed worried about the situation and she was never worried. He didn't like it for a moment.

He decided to go see if he could find his Dad or Al and left the seventh floor. He probably could have sent a message or used the house elves to find them, but he didn't think that anyone wanted to be found at the moment, so walking around until he found them seemed to be the way to go. However, instead of finding them, he saw Jamie coming out of a room that had to be the Room of Requirement, since the door disappeared the moment it closed. "You all right?" he asked, gently as he walked closer. "You don't look so good."

"I'm not saying do the wrong thing," he said chuckling, even though he knew that this was serious, but they had to lighten the mood a little. "And just in case isn't terrible either. It's those two at the exclusion of everything else that' a problem." He wasn't shocked about the admission about the Aurors, after all, he'd seen it with Albus back home. "I doubt he sees you being born as a failing," he said softly. "He couldn't. He's just- strange?"

He sighed. "You know how I have this whole theory about the love story gone wrong? It's not as fun now, because I can see it happen so easily. Hell, it is happening right now, and it's- It makes my stomach hurt just looking at them. You don't hurt so much if you don't love just as much. I wish I could do something, because this isn't my dad, but I can see him in this version." He smiled a little. "Our relationship wasn't always perfect, but he always loved me and that's what matters."

Scorpius laughed. "You're way too tense for shagging on a regular basis." He looked at Jamie with a mischievous smile. "Now I get why you turned me down. I'm too confusing with the whole men v. women." He nodded. "Sure, we already agreed that today is for the hot tub."

"Good. I don't think I'm cut out to be the bad boy type," Jamie teased back weakly. Biting his lip, he focused on walking. They weren't far from his room now and 'one foot in front of the other' made more sense than Jamie's complicated thoughts on his own existence. "I'm only here because Harry Potter always has to do the right thing. And when your ex-girlfriend, who you had sex with probably some drunken night when neither of you was thinking clearly, gets pregnant, the right thing to do is marry her and keep the baby...whether you actually want the baby or not. It's the right thing to do." He really hated that phrase.

As they came up to his door, it was Jamie's turn to pull Scorpius into a brief hug. "Unfortunately, your theory makes a lot of sense...I think we all wanted them to be happy, to have this. But, we forgot that my dad is still an angry sixteen year old buried in an alcoholic twenty-two year old's body. As far as he's concerned, the world needs saving more than any of us need him to be here." He smiled sadly. "Your relationship with your dad wasn't always perfect, but you knew he loved you."

He turned away then, so he could open the door and maybe shake off a little of the mood the conversation had engendered. "That must be it. Too confusing," he 'agreed' with a chuckle. Although, honestly, it was difficult remember why no-strings-attached sex was a bad idea when he desperately needed to get out of his own head. "Right, so did you want to wait while I take a quick shower? Or I can meet you down at the club?"

"I still think that's the right thing to do, because a world without you, Al and Lilu would be a much sadder place so I can't really be sorry about it," Scorpius answered honestly. "I'm sorry that your life wasn't as happy as mine. I'm sorry that your parents sucked. I'm not sorry that you are here. Or that Al and Lilu are here and maybe this place will give us the chance to make things better."

Scorpius sighed again. "Forgot would mean that we knew in the first place. I assumed that now that they were together, everything would go smoothly. I should have known better." He nodded. "I know how that's different for you."

He followed Jamie inside. "You don't know what you're missing," he said laughing. "Now, go shower. I'll wait right here. I wouldn't want you to skip the hot tub to do something heroic. The world can wait for today."
