1. Scorpius is proud to look like his father. When he was younger, he never understood why so many adults looked at him as if he were misbehaving, but when he eventually understands, their anger does nothing to dampen his pride. His father had been young and misled when he had been tempted to the Dark Arts, but he had since changed. The man Scorpius knew was an affectionate father, a shrewd businessman, and a genuine philanthropist (despite whispers of Slytherin ulterior motives, Draco Malfoy had become sincerely generous), and Scorpius was glad to have the face of such a man.

2. At the age of nine, Scorpius expresses an interest in learning to play the guitar, and discovers that he is quite the gifted musician. Midway through his second year at Hogwarts, Scorpius finds himself in the Room of Requirement, alone but for the organ sitting in the corner. He somehow manages to teach himself, and the echoes of the enormous instrument pervade the castle, leading the general population to believe that the Phantom has forsaken the Opera in Paris to take up residence at Hogwarts. This rumor persists long after his seventh year, despite the organ's silence.

3. Scorpius's favorite color is blue, his favorite food is ravioli, and his favorite Muggle film is Gladiator.

4. In the months preceding his sixth birthday, Scorpius begs his parents for one specific gift. No matter how many times they ask what he wants, or what they try to distract him with, the answer is always the same. Unfortunately, Scorpius is bitterly disappointed, as Malfoy Manner, though quite large in itself, simply does not afford enough space for the care and keeping of a kangaroo.

5. Ever since she smiled at him on Platform 9 ¾ on his first ever day of Hogwarts, despite the obvious tension between his family and hers, Scorpius has kept a special place in his heart for Lily Potter, whom he adopts as a little sister and who loves him like a brother in return.

6. Scorpius hadn't wanted to be sorted into Slytherin. He knew that it was up to him to change people's perceptions of the Malfoy family, and he knew this could best be achieved as a Gryffindor or even a Hufflepuff. Ravenclaws were too similar to Slytherins, but a Malfoy as a Lion or a Badger would certainly cause people to look at him differently. Unfortunately, this shrew reasoning was one of the examples the Hat cited right before making him a Snake. A few weeks into term, he decides he doesn't mind.

7. Before asking Ron Weasley's permission to marry his precious daughter, Scorpius seeks out Teddy Lupin for his expertise in the subtle art of stealing a Weasley girl away from her father and uncles and brothers and male cousins without getting killed or seriously maimed in the process. Draco overhears the question but leaves, unwilling to intrude. Later, he delicately offers his son a bit of advice: "Ron Weasley is one of the most impulsive and protective Gryffindors ever to have lived. Make sure his wife is there to keep him under control, or he'll break your jaw. Be polite, or she will."

8. When Albus joins the Slytherin House Quidditch team, Scorpius reluctantly lets go of his (secret, unlikely) ambition to be Captain in his sixth year. Everyone at Hogwarts knows that if you have one of the Potter-Weasley Clan, you want them to lead you. He is utterly shocked when he is appointed the summer before their fifth year – a Keeper had not been named Captain since Oliver Wood. He can tell Al is happy for him, and a little relieved as well.

9. Scorpius's maternal grandparents moved to a small beach city in California when he was seven, and he has spent every summer since visiting them. His grandmother would always laugh when he came home at the end of the day, red as a lobster and wincing, begging her to magic away the sunburn from his delicate Malfoy skin.

10. After Hogwarts, Scorpius continues his studies and becomes a Healer. On the side, he indulges his interest in Potions. One day, combining his formidable natural Potions talent and his considerable knowledge as a Healer, he alters the Wolfsbane Potion to halt the physical transformation as well as the mental transformation at the full moon, is heralded as a hero, and has the incredibly awkward (but touching) experience of seeing his father cry tears of pride.
