Scorpius loved his family, but spending a month locked up in the manor with them could sometimes be a bit... much. Especially because Cepheus bored easily and Xavier tended to sneak off to spend time with Marigold and Brutus, leaving Cepheus the options of bugging Scorpius or Rory and Cepheus always chose Scorpius. He was far less likely to get in trouble that way. So Scorpius had left the house as soon as he'd realised Xavier was out, and now he was walking around Diagon Alley, bundled up in his winter coat and scarf, peering into shop windows and killing time. He should have called Victoire or Albus before leaving.

Scorpius reached up to rub his freezing nose with a gloved hand and paused, eyes catching on a head of curly hair inside Fortescue's. Would it be weird to go talk to Caspar? They'd gotten along well until the party had started and they'd lost each other the other night, right? Caspar had kissed him. Scorpius was cold and Fortescue's hot chocolate appealed to him. He pushed the door open and ordered himself the drink at the counter, then hesitated for only a moment more before walking over to Caspar and smiling at him. "Would you mind if I sat with you?"

"Choir?" Scorpius repeated. He was just going to keep hold of Caspar's hand until the other boy told him to stop. He smiled at him. "Is it different from the Hogwarts choir, or are you all meeting outside of school as well?"

He ran his thumb over the back of his hand. "My brother Teddy was in the choir for a bit, but he kept knocking people over and trying to stage a coup, so he ended up being asked to leave. Were you in it then?"

"I'm in the Hogwarts Choir as well." Caspar didn't mind Scorpius holding his hand. It was kind of nice. He shrugged. "I'm in this choir outside of school. We're called Wand Directions. It's fun."

Caspar looked down at the thumb on the back of his hand and smiled softly. This was nice. "Yeah. Teddy was... He can sing. He's just very... out there." He studied Scorpius. "Can you sing?"

"Not really," Scorpius admitted, shaking his head. "And almost all the songs I know are David Bowie because my step-dad, Charlie, is obsessed with him. I mean, and I am too, because of that. He used to sing me Bowie songs to get me to go to sleep when I was little."

He picked up his hot chocolate to take a sip, but kept hold of Caspar's hand still. It was nice and Caspar didn't seem to mind. "I'd like to hear you sing sometime."

	"David Bowie is very talented. And he's amazing performer." Caspar agreed as he looked back at Scorpius. "No one could ever deny that. The man is a legend." A smile crept across his lips. "Yeah." He replied. "You should come see the carols we're performing. Invite your family too. I'm not sure anyone is going to come." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds good," Scorpius said, smiling back at Caspar. "I'll definitely invite them. And I'll let Charlie know you respect David Bowie. He's bound to like you." He looked Caspar over for a moment. "You should tell me where you're singing your carols. Am I going to recognize anyone else from Hogwarts there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There are a couple of friends that I have from Hogwarts who are in it as well." Caspar replied with a small grin. He wanted to kiss Scorpius again. Just.. a little bit. "Anastasia. She's my best friend. I don't think you really know any of my friends." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-04 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	"No, I don't think I do either," Scorpius agreed, laughing. "Especially not if they're in Hufflepuff with you. Most of my friends are in Gryffindor and Ravenclaw with my brothers." He kind of wanted to kiss Caspar too. This was nice. They were holding hands and talking and there were no siblings around to intrrupt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You should get to know more Hufflepuffs." Caspar replied as he looked back at Scorpius, his thumb brushing against Scorpius's hand. He couldn't help but smile at him. "You should get to know me more. I'm the best Hufflepuff. Clearly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-04 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd like to get to know you better," Scorpius promised Caspar. He glanced around Fortescue's, but no one seemed to be paying attention to them, so he leaned in, brushing their lips together briefly, then pulling back and smiling at Caspar. "You're my favourite Hufflepuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Caspar smiled at that, blushing a bit as he looked down at the table. "You're..." He shook his head. "God. You make me do stupid things. You know that, Malfoy?" He asked and then laughed. "I just want to snog you senseless right here. And I know I shouldn't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-04 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	"You can," Scorpius said. "If you want to. Or... we could take our drinks to go and find somewhere with less people to stare." He smiled, finding he liked the blush on Caspar's cheeks. He was really sweet, wasn't he? "I want to snog you too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can go back to mine if you want." Caspar told him quietly. "I mean... My mum isn't home, so we wouldn't get interrupted or anything. My Dad rarely even knows I exist." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-04 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay," Scorpius agreed. "I'd say we could go to the manor, but everyone's home and nobody knocks." He looked at Caspar for a moment. "My mom's like that. She doesn't know I exist unless I do something to Cepheus. Then she notices and she hates it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	caspr 2012-07-04 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	"My father is just usually really busy with his plants." Cepheus replied. "But, my Mum is kind of self absorbed. Sometimes I wonder if she remembers that she gave birth to me." He stood and held onto Scorpius's hand. "We can use the floo that's here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scorpi 2012-07-04 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	Scorpius nodded, standing and grabbing his scarf and gloves. "Not having to walk outside again sounds really nice," he said, laughing a little. He and Caspar seemed like they had stuff in common. This was... really nice. He walked to the Floo with the other boy and waited for him to call out his address. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Caspar tossed in some of the dust and then called out the address to his house. After a few moments of being pulled through the floo, they landed on the ground. He dusted Scorpius off and stepped out of the floo, into his bedroom. "This is my room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius looked around the room, then smiled at Caspar. "It's nice," he said. "I like that you don't have a bunch of other people invading your space. It's very different from what I'm used to, in that respect."

He laughed as he walked further into the room, taking a seat on the edge of Caspar's bed. "Would you sing for me?" he asked. "Just to give me a preview of what to expect?"

	Caspar smiled at Scorpius. "Suddenly I feel very put on the spot." He told him as he stood there in front of Scorpius. But, he shrugged. "Alright. I'll sing for you." He took a deep breath, then began to sing a bit of Joni Mitchell. He stopped after a few parts and smiled. "There. Sneak preview." (Reply to this)(Parent)
