Scorpius knew it was only a matter of time before his aunt came to visit, but that didn't stop his stomach from knotting in unpleasant ways when he saw her stroll in. There was something about her smile that didn't look like a smile at all. It looked too predatory to be a smile.
"Good day, Aunt," he returned, discreetly putting his hand over his to-do list. Somehow, Scorpius did not like the idea of Bellatrix knowing he was researching the Wolfsbane potion. The less she knew about him period, the better.
"Was there anything else you wanted other than the lotion?" Scorpius would stick to business. He hoped she would take her lotion and be off.
