(Albus Potter – Next Generation)

56. I will not refer to Kingsley Shacklebolt as a "Big Black Sex Auror".

There was a scuffle, there was a bang and then, lastly, there was a crash. Scorpius looked up gingerly to find Albus potter sprawled out beside him, hosting a steadily growing head. Scorpius cursed, and quickly counter cursed the spell he had cast when he thought he was being attacked and helped the Potter into a sitting position.

"Albus Potter, what the hell are you doing? You can't just go jumping on people in the middle of the night!" Scorpius yelled, throwing a pillow at his best friend, smirking when he heard a muffled thump as it hit target. Albus threw the pillow off of him in a fluent movement and tackled Scorpius back onto the bed, rambling rapidly. Scorpius rolled his eyes and tipped the black haired boy off of him and onto the floor.

"What do you want?" he said in resignation, rubbing his eyes gingerly. Albus sat up quickly and grabbed the front of Scorpius' pajamars.

"They got Rose, they got Rose!"

Scorpius sat up hurriedly, once again sending Albus to the floor.

"What? Who got Rose? What?"

Albus took a big breath. "Well-Rose-and-I-were-creeping-down-to-the-kitchen-because-you-know-how-she-is-when-she-doesn't-get-her-evening-snack-anyway-we-were-walking-down-when-we-got-caught-by-Filtch,-the-prick,-and-he-took-us-to-McGonagalls-but-I-ran-away-because-McGonagall-scares-the-shit-out-of-me-and-just-as-I-was-turning-the-corner-I-saw-that-Auror-taking-Rose-by-the-arm-and-leading-her-away-and-he-got-her!"

Albus groaned in frustration as he saw Scorpius' blank face staring down at him from the bed. "The Big Black Sex Auror got her!" And that was the end of Scorpius.

With something that sounded very much like a very unmanly giggle, Scorp threw himself under the blankets, all the while making choking noises. Albus cried in anger. "What are you doing? Why are you laughing when Rose is probably being expelled by the freaking Big Black Sex Auror! You know what he record is like, there is no way they wouldn't – why are you still laughing?"

{Ah, I enjoyed writing this one. It's great to be back, and I hope to get right back into writing now that I have a computer. – Catch A Drop Of Rain }
