Hogwarts - The Next Gen.

Chapter 24. On the way

The gentle melody of the clock's alarm filled the room, echoing off the walls of Malfoy Manor. Scorpius Malfoy, lost in the depths of sleep, groggily reached out and silenced the persistent chime. He rolled over, his eyelids heavy with drowsiness, only to find himself face to face with y/n, his companion for the night.

As the minutes slipped by unnoticed, their mobile phones buzzed with urgency, yet the interruptions went unheeded, buried beneath the layers of sleep and tangled sheets.

The tranquility of the morning was shattered by a sharp rap on the door, followed by the voice of Scorpius' father, Draco Malfoy, punctuating the silence. "Wake up. You'll be late!" Y/n jolted awake at the sound, her movements frantic as she accidentally kicked Scorpius, who stirred from his slumber. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, Scorpius slowly became aware of his surroundings, his gaze meeting Y/n's flushed face.

Embarrassment flooded Y/n as she surveyed the chaos of the room, clothes strewn about in disarray. Memories of the night before flooded back, and her cheeks burned crimson as she realized the intimacy they had shared. Her eyes darted to Scorpius, lying beside her, bare and vulnerable in the morning light.

Y/n's heart raced as she scrambled to gather her scattered clothes, her cheeks still aflame with embarrassment. But before she could reach for her bra, Scorpius's grip closed around her wrist, halting her movements. She turned to face him, her eyes wide with surprise, only to find herself pulled back onto the bed.

Lying beneath Scorpius, her back pressed against the soft sheets, Y/n felt a rush of conflicting emotions. "Scorpius, we have to..." Her words trailed off as his lips found hers, silencing any further protest with a tender kiss.

Caught in the heat of the moment, Y/n surrendered to the intoxicating sensation of Scorpius's touch, her worries and uncertainties melting away in his embrace. As they shared their passion, time seemed to stand still, the world outside fading into insignificance.

When they finally parted, breathless and flushed with desire, Scorpius's laughter filled the air, breaking the spell of their intimate moment. "I'll call them in a minute and tell them we overslept," he said with a mischievous grin, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Y/n couldn't help but feel a surge of embarrassment as she hurled a pillow at Scorpius's head, a playful retaliation for the unexpected turn of events. "You're really bad!" she exclaimed, laughter dancing in her eyes as she bit her lip, trying to contain her amusement.

Despite the lingering blush on her cheeks, Y/n quickly composed herself and began to prepare for the day ahead. As she rummaged through her belongings, she assumed they would be heading to the train station like any other Hogwarts students on their way back to school. However, to her surprise, she found Scorpius already outside, waiting by his motorbike.

With a mixture of curiosity and excitement, Y/n quickly slipped into a sleek suit, her enchanted bag at the ready. The anticipation of the journey ahead sparked a thrill of adventure within her, and she couldn't help but wonder what surprises lay in store as she climbed onto the back of Scorpius's motorbike.

As they revved the engine and sped off into the crisp morning air, Y/n felt a sense of freedom wash over her, the open road stretching out before them like a blank canvas.

In the distance, they spotted the Hogwarts Express stopped on the train tracks. Something seemed amiss, prompting them to ride closer to investigate.

As they approached, Scorpius abruptly stopped the motorbike between several trees, a sense of urgency gripping him. Y/n's voice crackled over the intercom, her inquiry met with only static. Removing their helmets, Scorpius handed Y/n a magnifying glass, gesturing for her to remain quiet.

Peering through the glass, Y/n's eyes widened in shock as she witnessed students disembarking from the train, only to collapse on the ground. A chill ran down her spine as she watched someone shoot a dark sign into the air.

"SHIT!" Scorpius cursed under his breath, his expression grim with determination. "We have to get out of here quickly and inform the rest!"
Y/n's heart raced with fear as she hastily replaced her helmet, grabbing onto Scorpius's middle as they sped away from the scene. Once they reached a safe distance, Scorpius wasted no time in contacting the authorities, his voice urgent as he relayed the dire situation unfolding at the train. Scorpius tries to contact Albus and Hugo. As they waited for a response, tension hung heavy in the air.

Suddenly, a message from Albus flashed across the screen, revealing that he had taken refuge under his father's invisibility cloak, hidden from the danger that lurked outside. Relief flooded Scorpius at the news of Albus's safety, but his relief was short-lived as the true extent of the peril they faced became apparent.

It was not just a simple disturbance on the train; a group of Voldemort's followers had staged a brazen attack, overpowering the passengers and seizing control of the train. Among them stood a familiar face, one that sent shivers down Scorpius's spine - Delphini, Albus's former flame and a formidable adversary in her own right.

As Scorpius relayed the information to Y/n, a sense of unease settled over them, knowing that they were now targets in Delphini's relentless pursuit. Her thirst for power and vengeance knew no bounds, and now that she had learned of their connection to someone from the past and a phoenix companion, they were in greater danger than ever before.

Y/n glanced down at her bracelet, its gentle glow a comforting reminder of the phoenix's protective presence.
Scorpius called Harry and explained everything. Harry had already been informed and indicated that help was already on the way. They were advised to drive on to Hogwarts where McGonagall was waiting for them with a protection field.

Y/n looked at Scorpius and shook no. He looked at her and was surprised. "Why no? Let's listen to Harry's advice." Y/n shook no again and started crying. "She wants me. The rest has nothing to do with this." Scorpius looked at her angrily. "I won't let you go to her!" Y/n " gave him a kiss on the cheek and tried to walk away towards the train.

But suddenly something happend.
Y/n regained consciousness when she was in the infirmary at Hogwarts. McGonagall was helping take care of several students who kept coming in.
What just happend.....?
