Scorpius was beginning to regret his decision to advertise. He wasn't getting paid enough to do all the things he did. No one had asked him to make useful products like skin lotion and lip balm or bug repellent (except for Hugo – he'd requested something to keep the bugs away ages ago). Boredom rather than motivation inspired him to make things rather than simply keep the shelves stocked as he was paid to do. This is what he got for going above and beyond the call.
Now he had more things to make, the Wolfsbane potion to research, and on top of it all, he had to worry about Bellatrix stopping in and possibly triggering the feelings given to him by his baggage. The disappointment. It had ebbed a little since he had had that talk with his father, but it wasn't completely gone yet. Because fearing the woman wasn't enough, now he had to worry about feeling like a disappointment to her too.
Scorpius sighed. This gave him more reason to hate working on weekends, but unfortunately, he hated shirking his responsibilities more than that. Call it his Ravenclaw work-ethics.
He looked up from his long to-do list when the door opened, bringing in a customer..
