Chapter Text
Harry Potter stands stunned in the doorway of Albus's room, his son is kissing Scorpius Malfoy, bent over him on his bed with his hand sneaking under the other boy's shirt. The boys notice Harry in the doorway and fling apart as fast as they possibly can, but it is impossible to hide what they had been doing. Harry opens his mouth to speak then closes it again unsure of what to say.
“I uhh brought those books you wanted” he says slamming the stacks of books down much harder than he had meant to as he tries and fails to break the award tension in the air. Scorpius stands up stiffly attempting in vain to straighten his muffled clothes and starts for the door.
“I think I better GO NOW see you at school Albus GOODBYE!” He is practically floundering at the sudden invasion of privacy and not at all hiding his shock and embarrassment at being “caught in the act” by his boyfriend's father. He slams the door leaving Harry and Albus staring at each other. Albus trying to gauge his fathers reaction to him being accidentally outed and Harry unsure of whether to pretend he didn't see anything or try and talk to his son, something he was famously bad at. The silence between them was growing increasingly awkward and Albus finally gained enough courage to speak.
“Dad look I know he's a Malfoy and we're both guys but I love him! He's my best friend and I don't care what you think!” Harry was taken aback by the outburst; he could tell Albus had been dreading that moment for a long time and he did know how to comfort him. He sat down on the bed next to his son and put his hand on his shoulder forcing him to look him in his eyes.
“Albus look at me, it's ok, I don't care if you like boys or girls or… anyone, you're my son and I love you, Scorpius is a nice kid. I'm glad you have him as a friend or…whatever it is you have,ok.”
Albus looked up at him with tears starting to well up in his eyes and pulled Harry into an awkward unexpected hug.
“Thanks Dad”
