[hp grandchildren] Birdcage

It was "respect is worse than obedience", the bony hands fluttered on one delicate little button after another - he even touched the warm heartbeat in Scorpius' heart, which was abnormally faster than before.Almost everything is proving to Albus what Scorpius said before, his heartbeat and pulse, his eyes and pupils, his expression and his flushed cheeks, everything - all confirms Scorpius Kopi's words of confession are true.

At some point, they both rolled from the wall and fell into the soft bedding.During that gap, they exchanged deep or shallow kisses again and again.Albus branded his own marks on Scorpius, and even the deepest part left a breath that belonged only to him.Scorpius couldn't help shivering with joy—he felt that those imprints were not only left on his body, but even engraved into his soul.Under the gaze of those green eyes, he was willing to let Albus lead him into the abyss of sinking.

They call each other's name emotionally, as if the name is a kind of magical spell, pulling their intertwined chains closer - until the ear to ear.No, maybe not enough - until they fully merge with each other.They were in the igloo, they were in the golden cage--a prison made of each other's hearts.Indulging in it, not being able to get out of it - and also they are not willing to get out of it.

All the jealousy, anxiety, and doubts that Albus used to have turned into infatuation at this moment.He clasped Scorpius' hand tightly, as if never wanting to let go.That light gray ocean will eventually become his only and final home of soul.

Birdcage (eight)

10.

What Rose and Hugo didn't expect was that within a few days, Scorpius came back for a return visit—he came by himself.Hermione was surprised for a while when she saw Scorpius, and asked about Scorpius' recent situation with concern - she had heard about Malfoy.Although she didn't like the way the Malfoy family despised civilians for generations, she liked Scorpius, the "mutated" little Malfoy—this gentle little gentleman, and she couldn't help but want to take care of this junior when she saw him.Scorpius thanked him gently and sincerely, indicating that he was all right, and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, and went to call her daughter and son to see their friends.

"Albus wants you to come?" Rose eyed Scorpius suspiciously.After hearing what his sister told about them that day, Hugo couldn't help but stare at Scorpius with strange eyes.

Scorpius nodded calmly, glanced at Hugo's expression again, and asked, "Hugo, what's your expression?"

Hugo's blue eyes looked to the ceiling. "It's nothing," he muttered in a low voice, "I just think... this world is quite strange."

"I told him the conversation between the two of us that day, and he was so scared that he almost fell off the chair." Rose ruthlessly added the details of the time.

"Everyone will be scared, okay?" Hugo retorted dissatisfiedly, "How could I guess that Scorpius actually..." He touched his nose and didn't continue talking, and Scorpius showed his innocence. expression.

"So, dear Mr. Malfoy," Rose looked at Scorpius with helpless eyes, "what's the business of your sudden visit today? I don't want Al to rush over to our family later to ask questions." Apparently she still Not sure that Albus was willing to let Scorpius out.

"Maybe take a guess, Miss Weasley?" Scorpius gave her a tricky wink.

"Mysterious..." Rose began to observe Scorpius carefully, thinking about all the possibilities in her mind.Suddenly, she was drawn to the ring on Scorpius' finger—it wasn't the one he usually wore, but it looked familiar to Rose.She searched in her mind for a while, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and she stood up in shock: "Al gave you the ring of the Potter family?!"

"Not only that," Scorpius smiled, "he told me everything he did."

After hearing this, Hugo's expression was as shocked as his sister's.

Rose said with a complicated expression: "God...he told you himself - I can't imagine how he would feel if he heard the conversation between me and you."

"So you will keep it a secret for me," Scorpius took a sip of black tea, "I trust you."

Rose resisted the urge to bang Scorpius on the head.She remembered the day she'd sneaked into the igloo with all the evidence and told Scorpius all the truth, even planning how to get Scorpius away, away from Albus.But when she told Scorpius all this, what she expected didn't happen.Scorpius just glanced over the things she brought, and then put them all back on the table, his expression still very calm.The blond-haired Malfoy just said to her indifferently: "It's pretty close to my guess." Then he sipped his tea and said nothing.

Rose is baffled by Scorpius' composure. "What do you mean, Sco?" Rose opened her blue eyes wide. "You've thought Al was doing these things?"

"Yes, although there is no evidence," Scorpius said, resting his chin, "but it is not difficult to guess. He must do something if he wants to get back the Potters' things."

"Aren't you mad, Sco?" Rose asked him, frowning. "He got you where you are."

"It's not him who really hurt me, Rose," Scorpius smiled relaxedly, "You and I both know that even without Al, the Malfoy family would have come to this day—the downfall of the old nobles and Prince Riddle , it’s already a certainty.”

"Even so, Al betrayed you!" Rose felt that she was really anxious for him, "You let him lock you up here?! Don't you want to leave?"

"Okay, Rose, don't worry," Scorpius held down Miss Weasley, who was about to stand up and turn around in anger. "I still have something to ask for your help. Listen to me first."

"Say it." Rose swore that if Scorpius said she was leaving the igloo, she would not hesitate to say yes to the request.

"Malfoy still has some savings, I want you to help me take a look." Scorpius turned out a piece of letterhead, which had the family crest of the Malfoy family printed on it, and it was very solemn at a glance, "Don't reveal Let others know, as for Hugo...if he knows it's fine, but don't tell others. The address...I wrote it on it."

Rose's heart skipped a beat: "Al doesn't know this?"

Scorpius shook his head: "He doesn't know yet."

"Did you never trust him? This is what you left behind?" Rose's inner doubts grew even bigger.

"No, on the contrary," Scorpius smiled again, "Al is the person I trust the most."

The most trusted person—— Rose was inexplicably terrified.She raised her eyes to look at Scorpius, and the light gray sea contained emotions she could not understand.As smart as she is, there is no need to say much at this moment, she has already understood everything thoroughly.These savings were not his - not Malfoy's retreat, but something left to Albus Potter.

Seeing that Rose understood, Scorpius went on to say: "I think you also know that what Al wants to do is a big business. The risk is so high, there must be something left for him."

Rose was still in shock. "You are crazy, Scott," she murmured as if in a dream, "You can use these savings to start a new business by yourself-oh my god, you are really..."

"Maybe I can do some business behind the scenes, but the name Malfoy must never be put on the table—" Scorpius followed her words.Now he doesn't really care about it.Seeing Rose still in a dream, Scorpius couldn't help but feel a little funny, and laughed out of shame, but succeeded in getting Rose a stare. "It made me worry about you for so many days," Rose gritted her teeth when she said this, "you told me that you had thought of everything a long time ago, and you still deliberately let the situation develop...you still laugh at me, can you Can't you have a little conscience?"

"Also," Rose's expression was a little teasing, "Is Al so charming? How could he make you do this willingly?"

"He's the girl of my dreams, believe it or not?" Scorpius said jokingly, successfully arousing Rose's disgusted expression.

However, he himself knew that this sentence was more than just a joke.

"But I'm worried that he will hurt you again..." Rose thought of this, and said worryingly, "What if he really wants to bring down Riddle by all means, and push you out in public? "

"He won't do that." Scorpius smiled slyly, "He definitely feels more guilty than fulfilled about the matter of our family's property—as for what you mentioned, he said to you that day Those cruel words, Al is an awkward guy in the first place, and what he thinks in his heart is definitely much more disturbed than what you seem."

"And, in fact, it wasn't that early when they made trouble," Scorpius added leisurely, "I just intentionally made it a little earlier."

Rose was carefully looking at the letterhead that Scorpius handed her, but the letterhead almost didn't fall out of her hand after hearing this sentence. "Don't you just want to see how guilty he looks in front of you?" Rose asked tentatively.

Scorpius had that innocent smile again. "Isn't that cute?" He asked
