sgt_majoretteIf you Sorted Scorpius into Hufflepuff, you're probably right. He's a modest, self-effacing, non-confrontational type who would be more confused than indignant if you insulted his mother. After all, he'd reason, she's not at all whorish, she's actually kind of prissy; you must be thinking of somebody else's mother...
The Greengrasses are secular Jews who wouldn't have made an issue about Scorpius' religious upbringing except that Mrs. Greengrass cordially dislikes Narcissa Malfoy, and big sister Daphne thinks Draco is a rodent. So Scorpius goes to a Hebrew Wizarding primary school and spends his Hogwarts Sunday mornings with other Jewish students doing his Bar Mitzvah preparation. The Greengrasses plan on a giant affair that will make Narcissa Black ill. There's no way Draco can get out of attending; it will be great value to see him in a yarmulke.
As to his father, Scorpius is resigned to the fact that his father is aloof and probably doesn't love him the way, for example, James and Al's father loves them. Then too, Scorpius has noticed that his father doesn't seem to have any friends or cousins, which is sad and probably why dad is the way he is.
I put him in Gryffindor because it's funnier; but in one respect, Scorpius is a real lion: in matters of the heart, he is fearless and heedless. From the moment he was capable of locomotion, he crawled adoringly after his mama and all the nurses, nannies and tutors she hired. Scorpius is always in love, and he shows it. He's not a stalker, however. He will cheerfully move on if his sentiments are not reciprocated. He's always been a pretty child, so he's confident that he will always be loved.
Does he like boys or girls? Come on, he's twelve. He is possessed by a helpless longing to pull Roxie Weasley's long, thick, glossy braids on the one hand; on the other, he thinks James Potter is the coolest, funniest boy in the world. Of course, Al Potter secretly thinks the same, so maybe they are meant to be together.
He sort of propositioned James once, and got summarily shot down. Scorpius, James implied, would have to be satisfied with noogie punches if he wanted physical attention from him. Roxie thinks Scorpius' crush is cute, and dances with him at parties.
Al himself doesn't realize that he stares at Scorpius until fourth year, after he has a long talk with his mother about why everybody else has a girlfriend. He will bide his time, though, until they're out of school. He's a cunning Slytherin, after all.
People do wonder why that little hottie Al Potter doesn't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Truth is, he hasn't totally worked out what his feelings for Scorpius are. Also he's considering going into politics; he's decided he needs exactly the right sort of wife for that, and the logistics of having a boyfriend on the side are complicated.
