Lost books?
Who: Scorpius, Aries
When: August 26th, 2020, early evening
Where: Malfoy Manor
Status: Completed
Summary: When he decides to look something up in a textbook, Scorpius notices that his charms text is gone. He attempts to track it down by finding what his siblings are up to, and simply assumes it was Aries' doing. The confrontation with his brother leads to a dead end, so he leaves - but watches Aries' room until Aries leaves. He searches Aries' room and comes up empty handed, but encounters his brother chucking the book into a potted plant. The two have another mild confrontation and Scorpius points out that if Aries wants to read up on Charms, he has his own text, which will help him understand the spells better. Aries heads off - perhaps to do just that - and Scorpius retreats to his room.



He wouldn't have noticed at all if he hadn't had the inclination to look up something in one of his text books. He wasn't generally much for reading ahead, but he'd started thinking and it had gone on a tangent.

So he'd rummaged through his mostly-packed trunk to look for his new Charms text, and frowned when he failed to find it.

Oh, he had all the rest of them, but not his Charms book. Come to think of it, the books looked out of order, too.

The list of suspects was very, very narrow. His parents wouldn't bother, which left his siblings. Libra generally knew better, but could be dared into things ... but either way, that put Aries behind it.

Rolling his eyes, absolutely certain it had been stolen and not merely misplaced, Scorpius stormed out into the hallway to look for his siblings.
