Your O. W. Ls were drawing near but you couldn't care less. That wasn't really a good thing if you're a 5th year at Hogwarts, with very average grades. Anyway, you still didn't care and switched on you laptop, and started watching the anime series, Attack on Titan.

Albus, one of your best friends, barged in : " Hey Y/N where are you - ARE YOU SERIOUSLY WATCHING THAT WHEN YOU HAVE YOU'RE HAVING YOUR O. W. LS IN A FEW MONTHS ?! " the 6th year boy gasped.

You sighed, tired of Albus worrying about you literally all the time. He was in his sixth year now, and though he didn't have O. W. Ls, he still worked harder than you did, though not as much as his best friend and your crush, Scorpius Malfoy.

" Eh, watching Levi slay giants is better than studying History of Magic." You smirked.

" That Levi guy won't help you in Defence Against The Dark Arts, and I think he would agree with me. Better get studying, kiddo. " He messed with your hair.

" I am not a kid! " You pouted and shook his hand off of your head.

" You are one to me. Now switch that muggle thing off, and get your books ! Whether you like it or not, I will be your tutor today ! "

" What ? Noooooooo....... By the way, its called a laptop ! You're a bad teacher ! Scorpius as a teacher is better ! " You whined.

" It's not like I want to teach you too, your Prince Charming has set me up. What other choice do I have? " Albus mentally smirked as he said that.

" My Prince Charming ? What are you talking about ?! " You demanded.

" Don't pretend, I know it's Scorpius. " Albus smirked.

" Ok , but keep it a secret, or else I'll be in Azkaban for murdering you. " You nervously bit your lip.

" Nah, I'm shipping you guys, and I will hint it here and there. " Albus said.

" No way ! " You told.

" Yes way. Now, define a Patronus and how it helps us. " Albus changed the topic.

Huffing, you sat down and defined what Patronus was.

▀▄▀▄The next day ▄▀▄▀

You woke up next day, yawning. You also spotted a girl with bangs, your dorm mate Jessica and asked " What's the day today ? "

" Saturday, amigo. " Jessica said.

" Ight, I'll sleep for two more hours till my tutor comes and tortures me. " You said and went to bed again.

" Merlin, why did you wake up only to sleep once again? " Jessica asked.

" This is my bed, I can do what I like, so there! " You stuck out your tongue at Jessica.

" Ok, fine. " She left the room.

You sank in to sleep again. It hardly felt like 5 minutes, before you heard loud yelling " Wake up ! "

It was, however, a lovely and smooth voice with a fair amount of innocence in it. You instantly knew whose voice it was, and no it wasn't the voice of your awful, newly appointed tutor.

Your eyes flutter open to see the love of your life.

Scorpius. Sigh......

He smiled " Lazy girl. You've been sleeping for 3 hours! Let's study ok? " He asked. " Also you shouldn't miss breakfast so I saved you some despite the fact that it's almost lunch time. "

" Gee, thanks. " You said, rubbing one of your eyes.

" Clean up and come , we'll have lunch or brunch in your case, and then study. " He said as he headed out.

" Sure.... " You trailed off. Being as lazy as you are, you dragged your self, brushed your teeth and showered. And since you're also an unhealthy person, you took only chicken casserole and potato chips with too much pumpkin juice for lunch .

" Don't whine if you end up with a tummy ache. " Rose Granger Weasley, Al's cousin, chuckled as she saw your plate.

" I've binged on coke, pizza, and entire bags of crisps while binging on anime for continuous hours and I survived that, this is nothing compared to me. " You replied with a proud smile.

" Have fun ! " Rose shrugged and walked off.

You sat down in the Gryffindor table, despite being a Slytherin. No one cared anyway as nowadays tables of a particular house are littered with people from other houses too, and it was the same for the Slytherin table. Not much to anyone's surprise, even Albus and Scorpius sat down at the Gryffindor table.

Albus stared at you strangely. You asked :

" Why are you staring at me, Al? Am I so beautiful today? " You fluttered your eyelashes innocently.

" No way. You are anything but pretty. I was just wondering how you never end up in the hospital wing despite eating unhealthy stuff all the time. That too a lot. " He said.

" She's got a stomach of steel, Albus. She's lucky, let her have what she wants. " Al's sister Lily said.

" Whatever. What do you think, Scorpius? " Al asked smirking.

Your face heated up and it took everything for you to not strangle him.

" Well um..... She can have what she wants, I guess...... " Scorpius flustered and it was evident that he was blushing. The smirk on his friends face grew wider, and your cheeks burnt hotter.

I'll kill you, your eyes said Albus.

Like you actually can, his emerald green eyes, which looked so much like a forest, replied.

You tucked in and before you knew it
the food on your plate was gone. But you were very, very hungry. You groaned out " I'm still hungry. "

Scorpius, who was picking at his food and staring at your direction started

" Oh ! Well then, have my food, I'm not hungry. " Scorpius offered the contents of his plate.

" What? No-" You said before being interrupted by the one and only Potty pants.

" Scorp , don't make the greedy pig even greedy. " Albus smirked.

" Shut up, Potty pants. " You sneered.

" Truth is like medicine. It is better but it's also good for you. " His smirk grew wider.

" No, really...... I am giving this to you out of..... Friendship? " Scorpius said and blushed fifty shades of red.

You didn't know if it was a chain reaction, but you blushed too " I-It's fine Scorp. Maybe I'm a greedy pig after all....... "

Scorpius glared at Albus, who threw his hands up in defence " What? "

" Stop making people feel bad. Who cares about how much she eats ? Look for her inner beauty, not the outer one. " His glare grew colder.

" Scorpius, it's fine ! He didn't really mean it ! He was only teasing me ! I mean, you know how he is very sarcastic to everyone right ? "

Albus, who was intimidated at the moment, nodded meekly, not putting his hands down.

" Fine. But if I catch you making fun of her next time , I'll make sure that you'll pay for it. " He wagged a finger.

" Y/N, once you're finished, come to the Slytherin common room. We need to study. " Scorpius stormed away.

All were silent for a while, but then Albus burst out in laughter.

" What-  Albus , Scorpius rarely gets mad, but you're laughing after making him lash out at you ! Seriously ? " You put your hands on your hips and frowned at him.

" You're so dense. I'm so happy that I got the evidence for it. " He continued laughing so much that tears sprung up at the corners of his eyes.

" Shut. Up ! I told you to keep it a secret ! You're so mean ! You're a hogetara !" You stuck out your tongue.

" What does hogetara mean? " James, Al's brother, asked. Obviously yeah he was sitting with you guys.

" It's just a casual southern Japanese term for fool. "

" Where did you learn that from? Next time, if any bullies bully the poor little first years, I'm gonna use this word on them. " Lily Potter squealed.

" I learnt it from an anime named Dororo. You're welcome to facepalm. " You said.

Needless to say, everyone did.

" Y'all are a bunch of hogetaras ! You are not otakus so you won't understand ! I . Hate. You ! " You left the place and your cheeks were as very red due to all the anger.

" Didn't she just ask us to facepalm ? " James asked.

" Blimey ! Why did she waste the food that Scorp gave her?! It was the ultimate symbol of love ! " Albus whined.

" Shut up. " Rose said, visibly annoyed.

" But Al is right. She's really dense. Anyway, I ship it. " Lily shrugged.

You went to the Slytherin dormitory to find Scorpius waiting for you.

" Oh hi. I- I didn't embarrass you at lunch , did I? " He asked.

" Nah. What subh should we start with? " You asked.

" Charms. We'll go through the important ones first and then go for the others. " He said.

Your book bag was lying on the sofa ok which he sat, so this got you confused.

" How did you get my bag? "

" I went into the girls' dormitory? " He said.

" Eh , thanks. Let's study. " You said and settled down.

The next 2 hours were absolute bliss for you. Scorpius had some sort of sweet smelling cologne, and sitting next to him meant that you got to smell it a lot. You practiced the hand strokes of the charms wrong on purpose so that he would hold your hand and make you practice with the right hand.

" Oh look, it's almost four. " He laughed.

You both had just finished practicing the Silencing Charm . You were really disappointed at how he had to leave right now. You were still mad at Albus and didn't want to see him anytime soon as well, and this is probably the time he would come around.

Speak of the devil. The Potter you didn't want to see was right in front of you.

" Oi, Scorp! I wanna talk! " He said and spotted you.

You turned away. " I'm not going to talk to you. "

" It's not like I'm asking you to. " He chuckled and turned to Scorpius.

" Yeah, I'm coming. " The blonde Malfoy followed.

You felt alone once more. Not only did Albus act absurd, it left her feeling more hurt than ever. Yeah  you knew that this shouldn't bother you, but you couldn't help but feel really bad for some reason. You were a brat after all.

◦•●◉✿ Meanwhile.......✿◉●•◦

" Scorp, you know you like her! " Albus said.

" I do! But.... I don't think that a nete like me can ever hope to be with her...... I'm just hopeless...... "

" Listen, I have a plan. She hates me for some reason now. I'll increase that by stealing her muggle thing called taplop. " Albus said.

" It's laptop. "

" Yeah, taplop. I'll give it to you and them you can go and give it to her. You said that you found it. And then she'll thank you a lot. Strike at that time and confess ! I'm a genius, right ? " He said.

" Um..... What makes you think that she's actually going to like this plan ? Besides, this sounds too obvious. " Scorpius said.

" Really, I know her. She'll love this ! " Albus said.

" What makes you think so, Potty ?! " Both of them heard an angry voice.

It was you. Little did the two know that you were standing there all this while.

" Ight. We have been found out. " Albus said.

" You're so busted. " You rolled your eyes at him.

" B-but how ? Does that mean you also know that..... " Scorpius put his hands to his mouth, realising that you knew of his crush on you. You shook your head.

" Baka. If you like me, tell that to my face. Don't ask a git who has no romantic experience whatsoever. " You said and smiled.

" Hey ! But I was the one who shipped you both !" Albus complained.

" Yeah, and it has started to sail. So don't third-wheel us and get out now !"
You said.

" Yes ma'am! " He said and ran off.

" Now, my prince, here's something to commemorate our new relationship. "
You leaned in for a kiss.

Scorpius returned it back. Both of you kept things sweet and simple, for anyone could sneak around and catch you both and you wouldn't want to die of embarrassment. Speaking if which......

" Yay ! Y/N and Scorpius are kissing ! " Albus said, and ran off after a school shoe landed on his head.

◦•●◉✿ 25 years later.....✿◉●•◦

" And that, kids, is how I met your mother. "Scorpius, now 40, said to his twins.

" Dad, you're making it into a meme on purpose. Plus that's not how you met her, it's about how you got together with mom. " Anna, his daughter said.

" Your father is getting old, sweetie. His sharpness he had when we were in Hogwarts has started to fade away." You chuckled.

" To think that Albus played a role in your relationship.Wow, I never knew he could play the Cupid part. " David, Anna's brother, talked about their godfather.

" He did nothing except for giving ne terrible dating advice. I am hungry, what's for dinner ? "

" Ramen ! " You said excitedly.

" Raw fish with rice, seaweed and weird sauce? Nah, I'll have muggle takeout. "

" That's sushi, dad. Ramen is Japanese soupy noodles. " David said.

" Dad, you really are getting old. " Anna giggled.

All, including Scorpius burst out in laughter. You both had married ten years after you started dating and had kids , and yeah they were Anna and David. Both of them were wonderful and you loved Scorpius, David and Anna. You were now a small and perfect family.

Life was good and you guys loved it.

A/N : Hey all ! Sorry I know this sucks, but I have taken a new step in my life and become an Otaku, so I wanted to reflect that in this. Ok, the next oneshot is really very angsty, and it's an Albus Potter x Reader. Love y'all cya bai !
