The series and characters belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling, I only own the original situations the characters end up in c:

This is a short fic, probably only one or two chapters, kind of an apology for late update on my Drarry fanfic, but also my way of responding to a comment my friend made about fangirls minds being messed up whilst she was reading fanfiction. This is for you Karla.


When Albus Severus Potter had heard that he was sharing a room with none other than Scorpius Malfoy, he wasn't exactly what you would call thrilled. They weren't really enemies, but they were certainly not friends.

His father had agreed to let Scorpius stay at the burrow with them for a week as a favor to Draco Malfoy. He believed the other mans exact words were "Potter, remember all those times I didn't kill you? Well I need a favor in return for all those times." Now Albus had to share a room with the Slytherin prat for a whole week.

Albus sighed, still not sure what to think about the whole situation. It probably wasn't going to be a pleasant week but it couldn't be much worse than sharing a room with James, his brother.

While thinking about how to make it through the week, his mom's voice came floating through the house. "Our guest is here, everyone come downstairs." Al rolled his eyes. His family knew Scorpius, he went to school with him after all. But he obeyed, not wanting to face his mom's wrath later. She may be tiny but she could be pretty damn scary if she wanted to be.

Ginny was busy trying to stuff a muffin down Scorpius' throat when Al got downstairs. He smiled. His mother was always trying to feed people, worried that absolutely no one got the proper nutrition they needed.

Albus intervened on the blonde's behalf and offered to show Scorpius where he would be sleeping for the next week.

"Thanks," Scorpius said when they got up to Al's room.

"Sure thing. And while you're here, I would suggest not talking to James. He's in a horrid mood at the moment, and I wouldn't want him trying to hex you or something." Albus wouldn't put it past his older brother.

Scorpius nodded, thankful for the advice. He yawned; he hadn't gotten much sleep the night before and it was finally catching up to him.

"Hey, if you want to sleep, you can. I'll leave you alone." The last thing Al needed was a cranky Scorpius.

Scorpius nodded again, and Albus took that as his cue to leave. "I'll wake you up at dinner time, okay?"

Scorpius was definitely not excited to be at a strangers house for a week. But he had already said he would make the best of it. At least he was sharing a room with the nice Potter. He could have gotten the older one, the pompous, big-headed one, James. And although he doubted that Harry or Ginny would put him in a room with their daughter, he was glad he had avoided Lily, the strange one.

He pulled off his shirt, and climbed into Albus' bed. He felt a bit weird about sleeping in another person's bed, but he was too tired to dwell on it. He fell asleep quickly, dreaming about Quidditch, and for some strange reason, ponies.

Albus walked into his room two hours later, not surprised to see the blonde knocked out on his bed. He had a damn comfortable mattress after all. He was pretty tired too. He had just spent the day beating James at Quidditch. He stripped out of his muddy clothes and went into the bathroom to shower off all of the grime covering his skin.

After a blissful forty-five minute shower, Albus decided that he had wasted enough hot water and that James wouldn't have any when he finished de-gnoming the garden. He turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, blindy grabbing for a towel.

Oh shit. He didn't have one.

Usually, he would just walk into his room and get dressed, since his bathroom was connected to his room, but he had a visitor. Albus opened the door slightly. Scorpius appeared to still be fast asleep. Albus couldn't see much of an alternative, so he walked out of his bathroom and grabbed a towel and some clothes, and went back to the bathroom. Thank god Scorpius is a heavy sleeper, Albus thought to himself.

)

Scorpius woke up to the sound of the water being turned off. He rubbed his eyes, expecting his own room, but realized he was still in the Burrow. In Albus' room. He stayed lying down, hoping he could fall back asleep.

The door to the bathroom creaked, and Scorpius opened one eye to see Albus peeking out of the bathroom. Was the other man embarrassed to be seen in a towel in front of him? He almost laughed. He knew for a fact that Albus shouldn't be embarrassed about what sort of shape he was in. His abs were the topic of many girls. Then Albus stepped out of the bathroom, and Scorpius realized why he was checking. He didn't have a towel. Scorpius froze, unsure of what to do. He could certainly see why girls talked about Al's body though. He had a perfect 6-pack and nicely toned arms. Scorpius couldn't help but admire the other man's body. Scorpius' gaze went lower, and he couldn't help but blush. No wonder Al was so coveted at school.

Albus ran back into the bathroom and left Scorpius blushing in the dark.

How was he going to last a whole week here, now that this had happened?


A/N: I hope you enjoyed it, and tell me what you think! I really love the Scorbus pairing and plan to write another, longer fanfiction about those two later. And I will update my Drarry story by tomorrow, I promise c:
