I should have known there was something more about Scorpius than it seemed - after all, he wasn't like any of the children I know. Figures. I mean I can understand them for doing this, but I don't like it - but I'm unable to find the words for why. I think they should have let Scorpius develop naturally, see how he would have turned out then.
But I'm still a little mindblown because of Draco's and Harry's argument. I really don't know what to think about that; it took Draco a lot of courage and is a real sign of his love that he actually offered this even though he dislikes Harry's ugliness so much. The wording, though, makes my skin crawl. "Willing to let you live with me"? Gee, that's really heartfelt. And Harry's maybe right, the day Draco would finally have to acknowledge that there is no cure (is there?), bad things would happen. But maybe Draco would still stay with Harry; he would have learned to live with it by then, after all, and I imagine his love for Harry would have grown. Harry's scared, I think. He wants Draco, wants them, wants the live he could have with him, but he's afraid of losing it again, because it'd be a lot more devastating to lose Draco a second time, especially with Scorpius thrown in along the way.
