CONNECTION TO CANON: Scorpius kills a student while playing Quiditch because he turns into a werewolf. He and James run away. They end up in the woods and Scorpius gives James a freshly killed rat before changing back. They decide to somehow get to Grimmauld place. They start seeking out the nearest road despite the fact Hogwarts isn't anywhere near Muggles. They call the Knight Bus when they've walked for almost an hour and have found a road and they get to Grimmauld Place so nobody can find them. They sleep together despite the fact they could have their own room because “they are so flippin' CUTE? SQUEE!” Harry blabs to the Ministry about where they might be so they have to run again. They then get the idea to get Muggles to help them. They talk about doing underage magic which can be traced so they can lie to the police. A random Aunt Millie shows up to help them, a complete stranger. When they stay the night at Millie's house, who happens to be a witch, Scorpius has a night mare about what he did. It ends here.
ORIGIN: To quote the Suethor's profile, ““My Harry Potter Second Generation Fics work like this: Scorpius and Elsie Malfoy are the kids of Luna and Draco.” Also, “Scorpius became a werewolf about three months before he got his Hogwarts letter.”
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Scorpius is a werewolf who only listens to James.
NOTES: The author says in a note, “If I owned Harry Potter, Draco would have admitted his love for Luna long ago.” Talk about two characters who have no interaction within the actual series.
SAMPLE:
James Sirius Potter circled high above the Quidditch Pitch, straining to see in the slowly fading light. The Snitch was down there somewhere, and with Ravenclaw already forty points ahead, he would have to catch it if they even wanted a tie. Unfortunately, this game had been going on for hours, and his eyes were beginning to hurt from scanning the Pitch.
"Oi, Potter! Out of the way!" Elsie Malfoy, Ravenclaw Chaser, came zooming vertically towards him from below, the Quaffle clutched under her arm. James jerked his Lightning 3000 back, making room for her as well as the furious Gryffindor Chasers coming after her. He grinned as his friend's blond hair whipped by, then circled lower, constantly searching. The sun was setting, and it was getting dark much faster now. The crowd roared as Albus Potter's voice echoed out into the night: "RAVENCLAW SCORES!" James groaned, then thought, Poor Al. His brother, normally a Keeper for the Gryffindor team, had badly broken an arm, and despite Madam Pomfrey's best efforts, it was healing slowly. Thus, he was forced to content himself with running commentary on the game. There! The Snitch fluttered in front of James' face for a moment, then zipped away. He swiftly went into a dive, hand outstretched, determined to catch the little golden orb. His fingers brushed the smooth, shining surface…
A Bludger came whirling out of nowhere, slamming into the Snitch and knocking it away. It disappeared within moments. James caught a glimpse of Elsie's twin brother, Scorpius, flying nearby. The Beater flashed James a quick grin before diving out of the way of another player.
"Come on, Wolfy, don't you know that the sooner I catch the Snitch, the sooner we can all go to bed?" James muttered, rising higher in the air to resume his search. Night had fully fallen, and darkness enveloped the Pitch. A thin silver light began to appear as the moon slowly rose. James glanced casually over. It had been full four days ago, and should be at half by now…his head whipped around. A huge silver orb rose in the sky. James felt frozen. A blue moon. The second full moon in a month. None of them had anticipated this. Which meant Scorpius hadn't taken his potion….James spun around. Scorpius, whacking away a Bludger, hadn't noticed the moon yet, but his sister had. James locked eyes with Elsie, and they both dove. As they did so, Scorpius turned and saw the full moon looming in the sky. He went completely still, staring at that great, glowing ball. The whistle for time sounded somewhere below, but James and Elsie had caught up to Scorpius, and they had no thought for anything else, because Scorpius was a werewolf. A werewolf who had not taken his Wolfsbane potion that night.
Scorpius shuddered all over as his friends reached him. He let out a gasping breath. "Scor, hang on, okay? Just hang on to your broom, we'll get you down," Elsie said desperately, moving one hand to clutch her brother's broom. James did the same on the other side.
