"Great. Glad that's settled." Shoving his hands back in his pockets, Hugo looked Scorpius over one more time. Back home this would have never happened. He'd been so close to asking.. what did it matter though? Hell, he was glad he hadn't asked Scorpius to marry him because he probably would've been rejected. Rejected and passed over for his fucking family honour. And to think, Hugo had ruined his relationship with his father and it was all for nothing. Nothing!
He didn't need this. He'd tried. But there were only so many times he could be pushed away before it was too much. Only so many times he could be rejected before Hugo finally quit. This was the last time. "I hope you and your father are very happy together," he said bitterly and turned to walk out of the house. Fuck this. He didn't need Malfoy.
