Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Inside the Great Hall

A/N: This starts from Scorpius' POV but just after Albus left the great hall. This is probably going to be a slightly longer chapter

Al left so fast I couldn't even talk to him. I don't think he could take what his brother said to him. I saw him go back to his table and laughing about it with his friends, all of which were watching. His dad, I mean professor Potter, must have seen it from the staff table. He came storming out of the hall shortly after.

It was a few minutes before talk returned to our little section of the table. We were the end near the doors and suddenly we hear shouting.

Albus shouting. A few moments later professor Potter walked back in and came over to us. He never really stopped but, he slowed down just enough to tell us this," Al just wants to be alone now, don't pressure him to talk to much. See how he is in the morning."

He walks straight back to the staff table."How come, James can say all that and get away with it? Professor Potter hasn't spoken to him nor have any of the other professors." It was then I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I walk over to the Gryffindor table trying to blend in, I really could use Teddy at this point. My eyes skim over the long table to find him, and when they do, he better be scared.

Found him. I clench my fists and (A/N: I can't write good fight scenes so apologies in advance) I go for him. At first he was unprepared and in shock. I knew he was better at magic and stronger than me, but no one, NO ONE, makes my boyfriend cry. So I do the only sensible thing (that I could have thought of in the moment) I reach for his wand, when I clasp my hands round it I push down on both sides, snapping it into two pieces.

Now I have an advantage, I keep punching his neck and face until he is on the edge of consciousness. The only reason I stopped was because Hagrid were holding me back from him. Then, walking in front of me was none other than his father, Harry Potter. I don't care what he's going to do, as long as James gets his punishment too.

"Mr Malfoy. So I assume that you're my son's little secret. I wouldn't have guessed, but now I don't need to. 100 points from Slytherin."  Thats when the unexpected happened, someone dared to interrupt Mr Potter. It was the amazing Mcgonagall," Professor, that is unreasonable! Young Mr. Malfoy was just protecting himself from danger yet to come. If you and Professor Weasaly (A/N: They're not married in this but they still live together and what not) had bothered to raise your son correctly we would not be in this mess. 110 points to Slytherin for having the courage to stand up for what is right."

I don't think anyone could have predicted that outcome. Never has anyone criticised Professor Potter's parenting, and I didn't think anyone would be brave enough to. At this I was released from the arms of Hagrid. Quietly I sneaked away from theire arguing to go to my dorm. I only hope that James hasn't affected Al too badly.

A/N: two author's notes mid way through, you are lucky.  I had multiple ideas for this chapter but I've settled on this now. It would be a bit late if I hadn't.

Anyway, see you next chapter
