Questions about Scorpius Malfoy

We meet Scorpius in the epilogue. We know he's pure blood, we know he looks like Draco.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Who is his mother?
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Will he be in Slytherin?

Isn't "Scorpius" the biggest fan fic name you've ever read?

She could have called him "Evil-us" and that would have been worse, but I couldn't help but laugh at the choice of name.

I suppose she has to carry on with the "evil" theme. We've had Lucius, then Draco, now Scorpius. I personally prefer "Spiderus!"

Meh, he should have been called Allan.

It reminds me of Homer singing "Spider pig" in the trailer of the Simpsons movie.

I don't think it's an evil theme so much as a constellation theme, especially considering the names of a lot of his relatives.

"Draco" is a constellation in the northern sky, and "Scorpius" is a constellation in the southern sky. I wonder if that means anything...

I certainly hope that he brings about a change in Gryffindor/Slytherin attitudes towards each other and makes friends with Harry and Ron's kids.

Thank God Draco didn't marry Pansy!

How do you know?

Because the others would have recognised her.

I don't know, about Scorpius. I think he will be sorted into Slytherin like his father, but he has potential to befriend people from other houses. Rosie looks interested in him.

Scorpius/Rosie fanfics here we come!! Seriously, how cute would that be!

After the entire Malfoy family's change of heart during Deathly Hallows and Pansy's attitude when Voldemort tells Hogwarts to hand over Harry, I think Draco might have steered clear of Miss Parkinson, though I always thought they made a cute little evil couple.

I feel exactly the same way! I wasn't even daring to hope all of the Malfoys would turn over a new leaf. However, I think away from his father's influence Draco could be pretty decent, and Narcissa's redeemed herself in my eyes. I could see a friendship there - after all, who would have thought a Black and a Potter would be best friends either?

Jo has left herself open to write another book, if she feels like it. Anyway, I just don't know why we get these little bits and pieces of other lives and so many unanswered questions. I'd understand if she wanted to take the next five years or so and not write, but I think she might come back to writing about the Magical World, even if she doesn't mention Harry at all.

And well Scorpius does seem like a bad name, but it doesn't mean he will be evil. Harry does tell his son it doesn't matter which house he gets sorted into, because good people can come from each house. So we didn't get to see which house he was sorted into. That leaves us wondering. I don't know if she will leave us to wonder forever or not, but I think we can guess that maybe these kids could learn to be friends in the end. I don't know which kind of dangers they could face that would make for a good book, but there are always bad people in the world to unite against. And well, this is a magical world, so anything could happen. We could just be left to speculate and write fan fiction, but it would be good to get a big of "official" news now and then.

I dont know if i could handle another book. Thatd be like Oceans 14-o wait thats coming!

it would just seem like some corportation plot to get more money it just wouldnt be the same.

ahh if only DH had been like 12000 pages long, and i had an unlimited supply of a fireplace, coffee, and scones and a blanket to read it with. Damn my Romantic mind.

I think Scorpius and Rosie more than Scorpius and Lily: roses, due to their colour and their thorns, are the flower most associated with Scorpio. I expect Scorpius will live up to his name and be passionate, loyal and strong. And it'll irritate Ron. And Lucius and Arthur will be grandparents in law! Joy!

Goodness! That would be "family feud" redefined! :lol:

By the way, Scorpius... what a dorky name.

i like the name. wouldn't name my own child that but i think scorpius is a very malfoy-ish name. just think about the celebrities now there are kids called kyd, pilot inspector, rebel. it wouldn't have been any fun if draco named his son Matthew or something. I think scorpius is going to be a rival to some of the "trio and company"'s children but a a friendly/beneficial rival rather than an enemy rival. Bring on the fanfiction of rose/scorpius, I also think that this generation is giving hogwarts a new start on the house/blood issues and how they are to be dealt with

Scorpius...I'm sorry, Rowling pulled that one out of hat.
But ...it does sound very Malfoyish, doesn't it..

What could be in store for Scorpius?

He obviously will be sorted in Slytherin or maybe as a "nice" surprise in Gryffindor. It's likely that he will be a smart boy.

Who is his mother?

Probably a pure blooded witch, although we will probably never know. Maybe the Malfoys got a bit less stuck up and Draco fell in love with a Half Blood. A Muggle born seems a step too far for me.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

Depends on how he was brought up by his parents. If he was raised like Draco then he wouldn't want to be friends. But I think Draco has changed and although he might not like people that aren't Slytherins, I think he will has told his son to be respectful and not cause trouble.

I think he is very like his father, in the good and evil, I think Hogwarts will be much more together in the future, so the houses won't really matter as much. I was kind of disappointed that we didn't find about Malfoy's wife, I was hoping for someone from another house.

I like the name it fits for the Malfoys. As for who is the Mother considering all that has happened I would think a witch from either Drumstrang or another school he have not heard of. I don't think we will have the rivals we saw with Harry and Draco I think that is in the past. Not that all is sugar sweet but more like at least watching each other but for the most part getting along. And Scorpius could well end up with either Rose or Lily and James or Albus could end up with a Slytherin girl . As Harry said it don't matter what house you are in.

I know there's going to be a fanfic where Scorpius is sorted into Gryffindor and Albus is sorted into Slytherin...

Can you imagine what Draco would say if that happens? Wow... I could see it though.

What kind of person can name their own son Scorpius ?

Honestly ?

Can you only imagine the countless number of jokes about his name that the kid will have to endure ? ^^

Well, I know I would've giggled if they'd have named hom something like Gordon. Or Brian.

I don't have a problem with Scorpius, it seems to be very fitting for the family - tbh, Albus Severus isn't very pretty!

Love,

If he is a lot like his father or any other family member he won't care about being made fun off. The Malfoys have always had a lot of pride and so far have always been rather arrogant, meaning that they didn't care what other people thought about them.

Naming him Scorpius does make it seem like he's going to be an intimidating person, but i think he'll be reserved and intelligent , as i think Draco may have secretly been .

The name is hilarious , but sounds almost superior, like Malfoy probably wanted it to.

I always imagined Draco would marry someone foreign, rich and beautiful definately not Parkinson.

I hope Scorpius would be friends with the Potters and the Weasleys :D

I have it in my head that he is part of hte new "Trio"....Albus Severus, Rose (ron and Hermione's daughter) and Scorpius....

just like Ron, Harry and Hermione....

maybe the whole batch of them will surprise everyone and be sorted into Ravenclaw or *gasp* Huffelpuff

I'd like to think that the old animosity has given way to a new beginning.

We're not given enough information to conclude anything about his character, but I believe his future is rather predictable... Ron made a joke about it:lol: so until JKR proves it wrong I think it's safe to say that he married Rose Weasley:love:.

maybe the whole batch of them will surprise everyone and be sorted into Ravenclaw or *gasp* Huffelpuff



that would be awesome.
Can't you just see Scorpius being sorted into Hufflepuff?
His parents would be so proud.

I bet he was placed in Ravenclaw. What a strange name, I bet he gets teased daily with a name like that. Anyone got a stinger?

Wasn't Scorpius the name of a Decepticon-oh, wait that was Scorponaut. Sorry-hehehehe. What about Scorp and Harry's daughter? I believe Draco's wife is a pure blood but he may not say much about less than pure blood after what happened-you know, less verbal about any dislike he has.

My first reaction I think like most of you was to s****** at the name. I mean Scorpius? (Though the name seems inspired next to Albus Severus)

But upon further review I think the name does fit with the Malfoy tradition. We have Draco "Dragon" and Luscious "Light" (also sounds mighty close to Lucifer "light bringer"), now I guess Draco felt they needed a "scorpion" in mix as well.

I can already hear the Lily/Scorpius probably also Rose/ Scorpius and of course the inevitable Lily/Scorpius/Rose love triangle fanfictions being written.(I can just see the title now "The Scorpion amongst the Flowers") the new incarnation of Ginny/Draco and Hermione/ Draco.

I just thought the whole thing was brillant!! Scorpius Malfoy is so fitting. And since JK left it all so open ended there is a never ending amount of possibilities regarding Rose, Lily, Albus Severus, Hugo and Scorpius, not to mention James, Teddy and Victoire. I just love the thought of it all starting over again minus You-Know-Who.

We meet Scorpius in the epilogue. We know he's pure blood, we know he looks like Draco.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Who is his mother?
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Will he be in Slytherin?


Uh, we do? I don't remember reading Scorpo was pure blood. We don't know who Draco's wife is, if it was Pansy then Harry would've known.

I think Scorpo will be friends with the Potter/Weasleys (it would be really cool if he ended up marrying Lily II). He certainly wouldn't be the antagonist that Draco was. Scorpo will likely be a Slytherin, but thanks to Snape and Sluggo, Slytherin won't be the "evil" house anymore.

Draco is going to be a haunted man, and he will certainly tell Scorpo to not make the mistakes he made.

Sorry to tell you but the naming after celestial bodies is not a Malfoy tradition but a Black family tradition i.e. Sirius and Regulus (stars), Andromeda (galaxy) and many others. I think that Draco was honoring the tradition of his mother's family which considering her actions in the forest really means something.

I dont mind the name scorpius its actually pretty cool and alot of wizards have weird names xenophillius rubeus mundungas its not actually all that weird

it would be so cool if he and rose got together imagine the wedding were they all get really drunk and either fight the piece out or become the best of friends. Whos for a chorus of 'odo the hero'

Didn't Ron snicker at Draco's name, too?

Point being: the Scorpius name was probably meant to sound over-the-top. I think the Malfoys' fetish for oddball names is related to their pureblood mania, actually--they're wizards, after all, and proud of it, and nothing more mundane than the stars will suffice!

What could be in store for Scorpius?
He will probably end up being rivals with James, Albus, and Rose, just as Harry, Ron and Draco were.

Who is his mother?
Hmm... Pansy Parkinson?

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Probably not, but you never know... they aren't living in dark times anymore.

Will he be in Slytherin?
I'm gonna say yes. Though, it would be interesting to see Draco's reaction if he were in Gryffindor. Harry absolutely did not care what house his kids were in, but I think Draco would mind a little.

Scorpius is not a character. He's just a lame name in the epilogue.

Meh, he should have been called Allan.

What about Bob?

I think Scorpious could be friends with Rose the same way Severus and Lily were friends, even though they were in seperate houses of Slytherin and Gryffinor. JK said Draco and Hermione would never get together, she didn't say their children wouldn't!!! That was also a nice touch that JK added his hair was receding. He was the same age as Harry and co, so why would his hair be receiding!??! Hahahahahahaha! He should have used magic to make it not so. Either that, or he just didn't care. My uncle has had a shaved head for over 15 years with no plan of going back to hair because his hair started to recede. He's so vain. But I can't wait to read some Rosie/ Scorpious threads. At least there is no need to do a "meet the parents," like with the Delacours, they have already met~!

If there is going to be a sequel then i'd like to think that Scorpius will be the new Ron.

Scorpius and Rosie...oh yes...

*30 years after the defeat of Lord Voldemort*
All the Weasleys, Malfoys and Potters + a bunch of other wizards, house elves, all sorts of magical creatures etc. at their wedding in Malfoy Manor.
*Lucius starts the first dance with Molly*
*Harry [staring at the ceiling]* And this is were the chandelier was dropped by Dobby...*sniff sniff* Cheers to the house-elves! *Kreacher looks at him with adoration*
*Aunt Muriel* Hop out of the chair, will ya, I am one hundred thirty seven...My god, what is Luna Scamander wearing? She looks like an omelette!

Just imagine the bunch of them actually wanting the families union...


On a serious note, now, I think Scorp will actually have a better relationship with Al and Rosie than Draco had with the trio. I really hope he will be sorted in another house than Slytherin, to break the Malfoy tradition, though I doubt this would actually happen.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
- I think that Scorpius will most likely be as pressed as Draco was to perform extremely well in order to show the rest of the world that the Malfoys truly are a great family. I also think that there might be some rivalry between the Potters and the Malfoys but not perhaps to the same extent as between Harry and Draco.

Who is his mother?
- I think she's most likely from some influential pureblooded family who didn't openly support Voldemort during the war and is therefore a nice "catch" and addition to the Malfoys in order to once more become a respected family in the wizarding society even though I think that Draco loves her. I'd also presume that she's been in Slytherin if she's from Britain.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
- I somehow doubt that. While Harry and Draco aren't hexing each other on the spot anymore I doubt that friendship would arise between the children. To me there is still bad blood between them. Though things may change if Albus Potter ends up in Slytherin they might befriend each other considering the isolation of Slytherin (in relation to the other houses).

Though from a Malfoy point of view it might serve the family well to befriend to Potters/Weasleys in order to show the rest of the wizarding community that they truly have changed from their evil ways, and what better way to prove it other than befriending the children of Draco's nemesis during school and a family of halfbloods? Just a thought.

Will he be in Slytherin?
- I have no doubt that Scorpius will end up in Slytherin, from what we know the entire Malfoy family has ended up in that house and I see no reason for it to change considering he's a pureblood and has Draco as his father. Remember, the Malfoys are essentially Slytherins to the very core.

I really hope Scorpius becomes friends with Harry's and Ron's kids. It might force their fathers to become a bit more friendly too. I think it's a sure thing he'll be in Slytherin though.

It'd be great if Scorpius befriended Harry or Ron's kids. That'd be wonderful!

I really wonder who Draco got married to. No one asked Rowling that question! Something tells me it's not Pansy. I wonder who she is.

i think its a great name!! very funny!!! i think it would be awesome if Rosie and Scorpius hooked up it think then that the Malfoys would have to end the pureblood mania that has been in there family for generations

I think Scorpius and Rosie more than Scorpius and Lily: And it'll irritate Ron. And Lucius and Arthur will be grandparents in law! Joy!

That would be so great!! Lucius and Arthur would have to be cordial and polite to each other. Can you imagine family reunions? Let alone speeches at the wedding!! And Ron and Draco as brother-in-laws?!?!? Priceless!!:lol:

We meet Scorpius in the epilogue. We know he's pure blood, we know he looks like Draco.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Who is his mother?
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Will he be in Slytherin?

1. Scorpius won't be liked very much by any other than his Slytherin gang, I can't imagine that the Malfoy name is as popular as it used to be. I think he will be just as much of a jerk as Draco was but won't have a rich, influential father to get him out of trouble because I'm sure Draco isn't very influential in anything now.
2. The obvious choice for his mother would be Pansy Parkinson but I think Jo would have mentioned her name if we knew her so therefore I conclude that it is some unmentioned woman, definitely pureblood.
3. I don't think he will be friends with the Potter Weasley children, The Potter children are only 3/4 pureblood and the Weasley children are half-bloods. Scorpius will definitely have learned from his father not to like anyone very much unless they're pureblood. Plus they're probably all blood traitors in his mind. Also, Jo said that Harry and Draco could never be friends because of their rough history and I think this will transfer down to the kids by Parental influence.
4. And yes, theres no question, he'll definitely be in Slytherin.

1.)I don't think Scorpius will be like Draco when Draco started at Hogwarts because Draco and Lucius are not the same.

2.)I don't think his mother is anyone from Hogwarts-like Pansy Parkinson- but she might be from Durmstrang or Beauxbatons.

3.)I think he could be friends with Albus if he can put aside the families disliking for each other.

4.)I think he probably will be in Slytherin but then again, you can't tell for sure. Maybe he has some qualities that make him a candidate for another house.

There's one way I could see Scorpius ending up in Gryiffindor. Sentimentally I like to think he does although rationally I think Slytherin is more likely. Here's my theory.

Rowling has not told us how other Slytherin families viewed the Malfoys' collusion with Harry. So let us do a little bit of imagining and say for the sake of argument that most Slytherin families viewed the Malfoys' collusion (and subsequent escape from Azkaban prison sentences as Rowling has confirmed) negatively and that some Slytherin families (who were punished severely) were even hostile about it. If this was the case, then I would assume that most Slytherin families would pass on their views to their Hogwarts' age children which could even explain Rowling's webchat comment about Scorpius 'had a lot going against him' (there certainly could be other explanations for her comment though). If the Malfoys were unpopular with other Slytherin families at the time that Scorpious was starting at Hogwarts then I could certainly see their Hogwarts age offspring ridiculing Scorpius and/or basically being unfriendly to him while he was travelling to Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express.

In this scenerio, even if Scorpius didn't know that the Sorting Hat would take his choice of house into account, I can imagine him thinking "please don't put me in Slytherin" while he is wearing the Sorting Hat. If Rosie's nature is anything like her Mother's I can also see her on the train telling off other students for being nasty to Scorpius which could make Scorpius feel more drawn towards being sorted into Gryiffindor - to escape being tormented so much by the Slytherins and to gain some protection from the Gryiffindors. It is also possible that Scorpius would be considered brave enough to be sorted into Gryiffindor. It would take a fair amount of bravery to be a Malfoy or to marry one in the post second war world that they live in so Scorpius could certainly have inherited his bravery from his mother and possibly his reformed father as well.

Although I imagine that intially most Gryiffindors would be stunned by the Sorting Hat's choice I like to think that with time they would come to accept the Sorting Hat's choice (we know from Rowling that Scorpious is not as bad as his Father) and that Scorpious would be given the chance to prove that he is different from how his father and grandfather were during their times as Death Eaters.

To be frank I don't think Scorpius is going to have an easy time at Hogwarts whatever house he is sorted into. Even how his family has got lots of money (and he probably doesn't have to work) I think the best chance for him socially and career-wise is to be sorted into a house other than Slytherin!

That would be so great!! Lucius and Arthur would have to be cordial and polite to each other. Can you imagine family reunions? Let alone speeches at the wedding!! And Ron and Draco as brother-in-laws?!?!? Priceless!!:lol:

I totally forgot about Arthur and Lucius, i think we can all agree, that just for that, it has too happen.

there was one fanfic i read about Rosie and Scorpius being twins, that Hermione was still with Ron, but she hid it from him. She still loved Drace, but she could only visit him once a year. It was really sad. But i really liked it.

I'm very partial to the Draco/Hermione relashiship for some reason.

The issue is that we can assume that Draco's wife was pure blood, but we actually don't know.

I believe that she was, (Malfoy Tradition).

As for the sorting, I don't think it matters. Times probably changed for "standards of sorting" at Hogwarts after the second war. Sorting is generally inconsistent anyway, and the characters are usually sorted where they want to be, therefore sorting becomes irrelevent and pointless.

The sorting hat wanted to put Harry in Slytherin, but Harry said no. Therefore Harry chose where he wanted to go. Sirius also chose where he wanted to go, saying he "wanted to be different" then the rest of his family.

Actually, the Sorting Hat said he'd do good in Slytherin. I don't recall him actually saying that would be his first choice. Maybe wrong there though.

I think that Scorpius would be in Gryffindor, Albus in Slytherin and Rose in Gryffindor, but they would still become friends. I think JKR wouldn't have made Scorpius follow in the footsteps of his father.

And I really like the name Scorpius. It seems something that Draco would have named his son.

Lucius-most commonly related to Lucifer
Draco-dragon in Latin
Scorpius-Scorpian in Latin

I like that she kept with the Latin theme

I go either way on this, but I can see Draco dropping that pureblood racist claptrap after the war. Which is why I could see him marrying a halfblood - especially if she were rich/attractive/they were a good match. Not only would it be a smart way for him to prove he's moved past the pureblood business and distance himself from his past but I really don't think he'd buy into the superiority the way he did before. (Not to mention it's not like he had that much problem with some halfbloods before the war - Voldy? Snape?) Again, not that he'd be all for Muggleborns or, gasp, plain ol' Muggles. He'd still retain a sense that being pureblood/having a long wizarding legacy is better but without the unreasoning hatred. I could see more like a patronizing "compassion" for Muggles, "the poor sods" with their "primitive ways" and all the while thanking God he's a pureblood and being proud of himself for being so open-minded.

But also, I think buying into that crazy hatred of the past, even to dropping words like Mudblood, would bring up uncomfortable memories for Draco. I mean, I'm sure while Voldermort was making Draco torture people he either heard or was encouraged to call them "mudbloods" and remind them of their lack of worth to get into it. And while Draco had no problem with the word before the war, I think after it, it would have new associations that Draco would want to forget.

What this means for Scorpius (topic!) is that I very much doubt he'd be picking up the same ideas from home. I'm sure he'd be snobby and he'd learn certain things/people are better than others and that, above all, being a Malfoy is best no matter what anyone says. But I don't think Draco will be going on about mudbloods and blood-traitors and he definitely won't want Scorpius to do the same.

The world will be a very different place from the one Draco grew up in and even if he managed to learn nothing from the war (depressing but possible) he will know that much and he'll raise Scorpius accordingly.

I think Scorpius and Albus will be the best of friends... lol

The only thing I'm wondering is what Scorpius' attitude on black leather is.

What could be in store for Scorpius?7 years at Hogwarts.After that, who knows?

Who is his mother?Some unkown never seen in the series character.Not important.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?It's possible.I don't think Draco would raise Scorpius, the same way his dad raised him.So maybe Scorpius would be kinder.I don't know.

Will he be in Slytherin?Impossible to tell, since all we know is his name, but porbably.the malfoys won't have changed that much that quickly.

I really hope that Scorpius is a nice kid! This is probably insanely cliche, but I am partial to the Scorpius gets sorted into Gryffindor and he and Albus are friends, and then he marries Rose theory. (If only for Lucius and Arthur's reactions to their engagement, not to mention Ron and Draco!)
I'd like to hope that Scorpius is a decent fellow. I'm sure that after all Draco's been through, he taught his son to at least respect other people,
Maybe Scorpius could get sorted into Gryffindor, Albus into Slytherin, and Rose into Ravenclaw and together with some kid from Hufflepuff, unite the houses once and for all!!

I'm so slow! I just realized that if Draco did marry a half-blood (my favorite crazy theory) his son would still be a pureblood as long as all of Scorpius' grandparents are wizards even if one is a muggleborn wizard.

A new pureblood but still, Ron's comment would be correct.

(Though it still doesn't make sense considering that not only Ron and Grandpa Weasley are purebloods but, by that same criteria I used for Scorpius, so is his nephew Albus Severus. Not like Rose will marry her cousin but still, not the nicest thing to say. Ah, Ron.)

Firstly see the last part of my signature.
Secondly see my fanfiction "Letters Home From Albus Potter"

They both show my view of the matter. For those of you who can't be bothered to do the above, my view is this:

Scorpius is a Gryffindor, much to his father's relief because the children and grandchildren of Death Eaters who are in Slytherin have inherited the Death Eaters scorn of the Malfoy family and many would blame them for Voldy's downfall (They would know that Narcissa purposely lied to Voldemort about Harry being dead). I believe that Draco's acknowledgement of the trio + Ginny shows that the enmity has been put on a shelf and Drco was humbled by his experiences. I think Scorpius will become friends with Rose and Albus. I think Rose will be a Gryffindor, but I like the idea that Albus would be a Hufflepuff - it annoyed me that he and Harry discounted the possibility of him being in any house other than Gryffindor or Slytherin. I think that in the end Scorpius and Rose will be married (Ron just tempted fate so much in the station) and he and Albus will be best friends.

But I really don't know who his mother is - I'm pretty certain that she wasn't a Slytherin though - I'm sure Draco had enough of them and there's no way he'd marry Pansy. I actually like the idea that he ended up with Lavendar or Parvati (preferably the latter - she seems a tad more sensible).

The only thing I'm wondering is what Scorpius' attitude on black leather is.
I found myself wondering that as well. :lol:

I think that the Malfoys are still quite isolated in wizarding society. Respected, yes, but not feared or treated with the same deference as before they betrayed Lord Voldemort. No one trusts a traitor, even if they joined your side - but they remained neutral, showing true Slytherin spirit. And a lot of defiance.

Scorpius would grow up knowing all this. He would feel both superior and avoided, a rich social pariah that can never be seen for who he is by those connected to the war. In circumstances such as these two personalities can be forged: either dignified, or defiant.

In either case, he'd be a natural for Slytherin, growing up in that family; and he'd put up with being a Gryffindor just to show that he can, that he's not afraid or intimidated. He has a lot to live up to. Ravenclaw would perhaps suit the characteristics underlined by the choice of name, but I don't see it happening.

Who his mother is - that's not the right question. The question is how Draco approached the alliance, and how they both faced the rest of the British Wizarding community. That's what will shape the future dynamics. I imagine it must have been a defining moment, when Draco got married; if his parents could risk life and limb (and mind-shattering torture) to see him safe, going as far as changing the odds in a war to confirm that he was alive, under what circumstances would they let him fly out of the nest? His wife must be either remarkably uninterested in all matters affective (not a challenge for Lucius and Narcissa) or remarkably strong (someone L and N would consider suitable replacement for them in Draco's life). But that's another discussion.

One thing that will irk me for the rest of the fandom's existence is that Scorpius is a name long enough to warrant a nickname but none of the options even bears thinking about. Scorp? Pius? Scorpie? Good gods, I think 5 years of my life were chopped off just by my considering this. :grumble:

I have no clue who Scorpius' mother is.

From the epilogue it sounds as if the Malfoys are rather reclusive, and Draco is certainly not a friend of either Ron or Harry, but I think that the war diffused much of the emnity between them. I got the impression that Draco wasn't in a huge hurry to comfirm that Harry, Ron & Hermoine were H, R & H when they were all at Malfoy manor. Draco was Voldemort's errand boy through much of the book--and I think that Voldemort's evil repulsed Draco. He didn't expect following the Dark Lord to be what it was. By the end, his parents were just enduring. They didn't know what to do, or where they belonged, but I bet that they silently cheered for Harry's defeat of Voldemort! Also, Harry, Ron & Hermoine saved Draco's life twice!

I would hope that this new generation could lay aside the old prejudices and be friends with whoever they want to be friends with. That's part of what the war was about.

We meet Scorpius in the epilogue. We know he's pure blood, we know he looks like Draco.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Who is his mother?
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Will he be in Slytherin?

Though there is a chance it won't happen i do think he will befriend the Weasleys/Potter (when Ron told Rose about 'beating him in every test' and that hole line, he set himself up! as u can see in my sig, i am a Rose/Scorpius shipper, though somehat unlikely... let me dream :p).

the only person i could see Malfoy being with that we know Draco has had a relationship with is with Pansy Parkison (sp? Ewww.) So i was betting on her being his mother, but then again... the Rolf/Luna thing was also unexpected. So i guess JKR coulda picked someone i never heard of.

I think he will become friends with the Potter/Weasleys :D :D

I think he will be in Slytherin, but i hope he'll be in Gryffindor, you know, a twist, something unexpected. Then there would be a good chance of befriending the next gen.

I personally like the idea of Rose being in Ravenclaw, perhaps the first non Gryffindor Weasley in Generations the same way Aunt Ginny is the first girl in ages. It also fits Ron's "I'll disown you" comment.
Add to that dating Scorpius and things look interesting for the young dear.

All the Best,

Lunatic

Well, the mother is Luna who gave custody to Draco so she could continue her work as a naturalist.

What could be in store for Scorpius? Hopefully Draco grew up and became kinder than Lucius was. There seemed to be some sort of amends between Harry, Ron and Hermione and Draco. This was made obvious when Draco nodded in their way to acknowledge them. So I do see him maybe being more approachable than Draco was. Also in "Malfoy Manner" Draco LIED to his Parents when he said he wasn't sure if "Vernon Dudley" was Harry. So in a way, even if he didn't want to, he was protecting the trio in a small way. Also, Harry SAVED Draco's life twice--once in the Room of Requirement and again when he told Narcissa that Yes Draco is Alive and safely hidden in Hogwarts. Somehow, I see Draco and Harry making amends. They'll never be friends. Even if Scorpius was to Marry Rose/Lily, I think they will learn to get along for the kids' sake.
Who is his mother? I honestly don't know why I'm saying this, but maybe Cho Chang. I never saw Pansy Parkinson as a long-term relationship "through thick and thin" type of girl. She used Draco because he was blessed with good looks and had money. Why Cho? I don't know. Other than she being his Mother, I don't know. I definitely know she wouldn't be Luna Lovegood.
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children? Quite possibly. I think enough time has passed and Draco learned what would happen if he followed in Lucius' footsteps that it could be quite possible for another "Trio" could happen. Plus Children do teach us a lot of lessons. So I see them looking beyond the Family name, etc and going for it. Also Harry told Albus NOT to judge a house from it's PAST reputation. He basically says he sees it as an honour to be in the same house Severus Snape once cared for. He thinks Albus would do very well in there and would set an example for his Brother and other Students that a Potter Child can do very well in Slytherin house. He also told him not to judge a house based on past Students. So I see him also telling Albus not to judge people based on their name, Parents bad reputation, etc.
Will he be in Slytherin? No, I see Albus winding up in Slytherin to prove a Potter can survive and overcome being in the dreaded "Dark Wizards" reputation of Slytherin. Plus I see him as being bold and curious enough to seek out Snape's Potrait to see what makes him tick.
As for Scorpius. I see him being sorted into Ravenclaw. Why, I don't know? But once again, Luna saved it's reputation.

night I'm tired and have to work tomorrow!

Like many things in the epilodge there are a lot of things we can imagine and speculate what the future might bring to the characters including their children. If Rowlings let me write a sort of sequel on her behalf I would have Scorplus pull a shocker and be put into Griffindor much like Sirius was. He'll even become a good friend of Albus Potter.
Draco will fortuately get glasses and realize how ugly Pansy was and marry some one else. Pansy will also marry and have a child name Voldie who will become the chief rival of Albus and Scorplus.

I think Draco would have told him about the trio, and how they saved them...Draco wasn't really 'bad', it was just the company he kept.

I must say that I find Scorpius the most intriguing character of the Next Generation. Will he be shunned by society because of his father's crimes? Will he become friends (or more...:huh:) with any of the Weasley or Potter children? Will he be similiar or different to Draco? Will he endure prejudice because of his name? His story can take so many different routes, and I love reading about him in fanfiction.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
At Hogwarts, I think he'll meet plenty of people who don't want to associate with the "Death Eater kid" even if he is in Slytherin. I can see him as a loner, with only a few close friends, the type of people who will look past prejudices and give him a chance. Or, he could have a strong personality and make up his mind to prove himself as an individual. Either way, I can see him, as he grows up, struggling to find his own identity outside the Malfoy name.

Who is his mother?
I like to think that she is a foreign woman who attended Durmstrang, and is, of course, pureblood, though not from a Dark family, or a family who openly supported the Dark Lord.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
I hope he will become best friends with Al (Who I sorta-kinda want to be a Slytherin), and perhaps become more than friends with Rose. :p

Will he be in Slytherin?
Yes, I think so. He is a Malfoy, and I can't see him anywhere else. While I like the idea of slytherin!Albus, I find gryffindor!Scorpius unrealistic, and I would like for him to carry on the Malfoy legacy. Plus, if he is a Slytherin, that makes Ron dislike him all the more when Rose brings him home. :rotfl:

What could be in store for Scorpius?
I don´t knoe. no idea
Who is his mother?
Pansy of course. who else?
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
No. of course not. it is impossible
Will he be in Slytherin?
certainly yes. he is a true slytherin
but i dont like his name.

but i dont like his name.

Most people don't :lol: Besides "Albus Severus," Scorpius seems to be the most mocked (In good humor, of course ;)) name in the Epilogue. I think it is actually quite fitting for a Malfoy child. As you probably know, "Scorpius" is a constellation in the Southern sky, while "Draco" is a constellation in the Northern sky. I thought "Scorpius" was a good name to carry on the Black family tradition, of naming children after stars/constellations.

Unusual names seem to be common in Rowling's Magical Universe; I doubt he will be ridiculed because of it.

Unusual names seem to be common in Rowling's Magical Universe; I doubt he will be ridiculed because of it. Lol, I'm not a fan of the name 'Scorpius' either, but at least his is fitting... 'Albus Severus' kind of makes me cringe...

Anyway, I think his name indicates a number of things other than the fact that the Blacks stick to tradition. He probably has a sharp, stinging wit, and can be hurtful when he wants to (or perhaps even unintentionally). The fact that Draco and Scorpius are stars on opposite sides of the sky suggests to me that the two don't see eye to eye. It's mainly the Rose/Scorpius shipper in me, but I see him rebelling against family tradition and beliefs about blood, breaking the Malfoy-Black pureblood line for good. That's why I take Rose / Scorpius over Lily / Scorpius... Lily is technically regarded as a pureblood. But I'll admit I'm biased because of my shipping preferences and interpret every sliver of evidence on this basis :p

I must say that I find Scorpius the most intriguing character of the Next Generation. Will he be shunned by society because of his father's crimes? Will he become friends (or more...) with any of the Weasley or Potter children? Will he be similiar or different to Draco? Will he endure prejudice because of his name? His story can take so many different routes, and I love reading about him in fanfiction. Much agreed on this one, that's the reason I like reading about him so much. I love the way we don't know much about him, it gives us so much room to speculate. As for the question on Draco, JKR said he's 'an improvement on his father'. So maybe he starts out as a little bit of a brat, but then, determined to prove himself different from the rest of his family, changes his tack. Or maybe he's be an initially reserved sort of kid that eventually comes out of his shell... sort of like a quiet achiever who becomes more friendly and open as the years go on.

She could have called him "Evil-us" and that would have been worse, but I couldn't help but laugh at the choice of name. LOL. Evil-us...

What could be in store for Scorpius?
He'd be in for a bit of a struggle at first, as I think a lot of Death Eater children wouldn't like him because of what his father/grandparents did, and the Order kids wouldn't like him either because of the Death Eater history or family rivalries. But in time he'd prove himself to be unlike them, and end up a respected student with a small group of close personal friends; not a couple of cronies like his father. I'd like to think of Albus as one of them. I see him as academic competition for Rose, maybe having a rivalry, but a friendly one in which they tie sometimes, other times one will beat the other, but they still help each other. This later blossoms into something more, and he eventually becomes an accepted part of the big loving family he was secretly jealous of because of the way they all stick up for each other.

Not that I've thought about it or anything... :whistle:

Who is his mother?
Not Pansy. If it was her, Harry and Ron would have recognised her and it would have said 'his wife Pansy' in the epilogue. I'm placing bets on a pureblood, as a few people before me have said, from Durmstrang. At one stage I did like the idea of Daphne Greengrass (who is a Slytherin pureblood in their year) for his mother, but I'm biased 'cause I used to RP as her...

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
I see him as close friends with Al from the beginning, and having a friendly rivalry with Rose. The other Potter/Weasleys wouldn't really like him at first, especially James, but when he becomes close to Rose they get to know and accept him.

Will he be in Slytherin?
Yes. This is one tradition I don't see him breaking. But JKR did say that Slytherin has become diluted, so I think those students would be more focused on achieving academically rather than the pureblood mania the house is formerly known for.

Plus, if he is a Slytherin, that makes Ron dislike him all the more when Rose brings him home. :rotfl: Love the idea...

As you probably know, "Scorpius" is a constellation in the Southern sky, while "Draco" is a constellation in the Northern sky.

Moreover, Scorpius is named after the scorpion of Greek myth that killed Orion the Hunter. Orion is the name of Scorpius' maternal great-great uncle (husband to Walburga) and the constellation that's home to the star Bellatrix.

Is Scorpius set to sting at the heel of his ancestors? ;)

:wow: Thank you for sharing that! I had no idea the kind of implications his name had! I love the idea that Scorpius will be like Sirius *sigh* and break away from his family's ideals- he'll be a rebel, for sure!

:rotfl: Ah, the joys of obsession!

-LilyPod

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Well, now that we have this whole "new wizarding word" thanks to Harry and Co., I don't think it will go too bad for him. I do agree with AmeliaPotter, who said he might struggle a bit for being the carrying the Malfoy name due to their involvement in the past war. But I would like to think that it would not add up to anything serious and that he will be accepted by his own accord.

Who is his mother?
Hopefully somebody that we don't know, and I think we don't know her because if we did I think we would've gotten a name in the Epilogue. :whistle: (well, not necessarily, but yeah!)

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
I believe they will. Yes. ***crosses fingers***

Will he be in Slytherin?
I don't know. I'm not that sure. I guess it depends under which values has Draco and his wife raise him ... Draco's "curtly nod" to Harry and Co., may suggest a somewhat change (extremely minimal one, :lol:). I like to believe that he put some effort into being a better father than Lucius was to him ... If it were Scorpius' choice, I think he'll choose Slytherin for sure, because it is the pride of his family ... :hmm: unless the Mom is from another House, of course ... :lol:

Plus, if he is a Slytherin, that makes Ron dislike him all the more when Rose brings him home.

The possibilities are endless ... ***faints***

Gosh, this is pure genius from every angle! :drool::rotfl:

"Draco" is a constellation in the northern sky, and "Scorpius" is a constellation in the southern sky. I wonder if that means anything...

I think that that's why Rowling named him Scorpius. None of the other character have names that are constellations. At least none that I can think of right now.

Constellation/star names are actually a Black family tradition- Sirius, Regulus, Bellatrix, and Andromeda are all constellations or stars. Oddly, "Narcissa" is not, which is ironic, considering she is Scorpius' link to the Black family as his grandmum.

Anyways, I agree that Draco wanted to carry on tradtion, and so he named his son Scorpius. I actually like the name alot. :)

huh, I never noticed that the Black family had constellation/star names. Thanks.

I personally also like the name Scorpius and think that it's fitting for a member of the Malfoy family.

Ron is the one reason why I love this Rose/Scorpius shipping ...

I also like the idea because it would be quite symbolic in terms of the the pureblood hype being erradicated if the son of Malfoy was able to get to get with the daughter of a muggleborn.

Thank God Draco didn't marry Pansy!

I want to play his wife...

Yeah that's cool.

I wonder how Astoria's influence affected Scorpius. We've never heard the Greengrass family mentioned as Death Eaters, so it is possible that they were closet Purist supporters but didn't want to get their hands dirty, or they may have been more open-minded and tolerant. I am curious to know what Astoria taught Scorpius about Bloodist beliefs, and what her reaction would be to a Rose/Scorpius relationship.

-LilyPod

I'm very glad Pansy isn't Scorpius's mother...going through life with a name like that is enough of a handicap, methinks :). And if it had been Pansy, Harry would've probably recognised her on the platform.
I wonder if Scorpius has any siblings, or if he was an only child like Draco?

Hello. I have been looking for a Rose/Scorpius high-rating fic for a long time. Any suggestions?

~WendyPotter

I wonder if Scorpius has any siblings, or if he was an only child like Draco?
I like to imagine he might have a little sister, much younger than him and possibly conceived/born after he started Hogwarts. An "empty nest" baby. Plus, it's fun to imagine what a female Malfoy would be like!

The Hello. I have been looking for a Rose/Scorpius high-rating fic for a long time. Any suggestions?

Scorpius/Rose (http://www.livejournal.com/~scorpius_rose) over on livejournal has lots of great fics!

I also like the idea because it would be quite symbolic in terms of the the pureblood hype being erradicated if the son of Malfoy was able to get to get with the daughter of a muggleborn. Yeah, that element of the story as well as the family hatred is what makes the ship the most interesting... if he ended up with someone else it just wouldn't have an impact on themes like Rose / Scorpius.

Plus, it's fun to imagine what a female Malfoy would be like! I actually like the idea of the Malfoys only ever having a single heir, and for the last few generations, they just happened to be male. But Rose and Scorpius know that their families (particularly his) are flawed, and decide to change everything together. This includes having a bigger family and going against the ideals of what a Malfoy family should be like. But then again this is something we'll never know unless JKR puts it in the encyclopedia. How cool would it be if in the encyclopedia, there was a train scene for the new generation, which sort of forshadows what happens later in their lives? Probably not going to happen, but I can dream.

JKR said that Scorpius is an improvement on his father, so while I imagine Draco probably thought about his actions and taught his son differently, Astoria would have also been a big part of it. Perhaps she's kind of like Narcissa in that she's protective of her son, but sees that pureblood families are slowly coming to an end and teaches Scorpius to be more tolerant.

If Astoria's family were more tolerant, or even openly against the old bloodist views, Draco wouldn't have married her because she would have been someone his parents considered a blood-traitor. They were probably closet supporters as you said; I doubt the fact that Astoria married a pureblood was merely coincidence. But for whatever reason, I still see Scorpius as being less prejudiced than Draco...

I'm guessing she wouldn't react as badly as Draco because she was never part of the Weasley-Malfoy hatred thing, which is mainly because the Weasleys are bloodtraitors; maybe the Malfoys hate the Weasleys for other reasons as well, so Astoria isn't included and is more accepting of Rose.

I also like the idea of Draco and Astoria having just one child- I think the 'only child' thing is a Malfoy pattern, although if Rose and Scorpius did marry this might change. I agree Astoria's family probably weren't openly against pureblood views, but I can picture Draco marrying someone who didn't really care one way or the other. In that case, Astoria is likely to have had a moderating influence on Scorpius. As you said, she also didn't have the Weasley/Malfoy rivalry, which, IMO, goes deeper than the blood-traitor thing.

Hello. I've been looking for Rose/Scorpious fics every where! Suggestions?

~WendyPotter

I imagine Scorpius as a watered down version of his father. Hopefully after The Battle Of Hogwarts, Draco will have realised that the pureblood ideology is wrong. I still think some of his views will be passed down to Scorpius but hopefully not as many and hopefully the opinions wouldn't be as strong. We don't know much about Astoria, but she's got to be better than Pansy Parkinson ;)

Jo totally set up the Scorpius/Rose ship for us! It has to happen! :D

I imagine Scorpius as a watered down version of his father. Oh, I loved this description! :)
Hopefully after The Battle Of Hogwarts, Draco will have realised that the pureblood ideology is wrong. Maybe not that full on straight, but he won't be so actively involve as his parents.

I agree.
Astoria has to be better than Pansy because JKR said that she didn't like Draco, but that she loathe Pansy ... :lol: so, the fact that Astoria was chosen to marry Draco was a tiny upgrade for Draco :lol:

I like to imagine that Scorpius mind won't be as polluted as Draco's was when he arrived at Hogwarts and that he'll hopefully make some friends that will help him be a better person than any of his family members ***finger crossed*** Hopefully, one of those friends will be Rose because I still want to imagine Ron's face when he knows of this :D

What could be in store for Scorpius?
I like to think that he'd be a bit like JK first described Theodore Nott: A very clever loner who does not feel the need to join gangs.
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Ron is so completely intolerant of anything to do with Slytherin, but I hope that maybe Rose would be a bit of a rebel and be friends with who she wants to. Harry seems to have tried to put it in the past and I'd like Albus and Scorpius to be friends.
Will he be in Slytherin?
I'd actually like him to be in Ravenclaw along with Rose and maybe Albus. I'm sick of Gryffindor and Slytherin dominating.

As Kharina and AmeliaPotter said, I like the idea of their only being one Malfoy. However, like birdi86 said, I also like the idea of the one child being female.

I suppose I think of it in the sense of a female heir means the end of the name 'Malfoy', as far as we know, just like the fact that there (was) only Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa, meaning the name 'Black' dies.

Therefore, symbolically, as the name dies, so does the old bloodist hysteria of the past, particularly evident in said Black and Malfoy families. Having the names die out should provide some hope that, in the HP world anyway, the intolerance and bloodist values will go out as well, as future generations (this Draco/Astoria pairing, for example) grow up with a more relaxed opinion of bloodlines and so forth.

And if it had been a girl, her name could have been Scorpia! :lol:

Also, where is this interview where JKR talks about Astoria? I think I missed that...:lol:

And if it had been a girl, her name could have been Scorpia! LOL... since the Malfoys are all constellation names, I personally like Cassiopeia for a girl. I used that name for a Malfoy RPG character, then I took a look at the Black family tapestry and found that there was already a Cassiopeia. I thought that was a funny little coincidence. :relax: Anyway, I'm probably being a bit off topic there...

I agree. Maybe Draco gives his opinion rather than bashing the old beliefs into Scorpius' head like his parents did, so when the time comes he chooses not to be like his father... and of course, I agree with the part about Rose too :tu:

Well to be honest I am very tired of the whole Hogwarts romance leads to marriage thing so I am very against Scorpius and Rose getting married. However, I definatly see them dating some day but I think is the end Rose would end it and they would remain pretty close friends. I would love for Scorpius and Al to be best friends, I think it would be just fantastic and I think they would almost be the "harry and ron" of the next generation. Actually, I sort of think Scorpius would have a bit of a marauder-esque friendship with al, he and a being the sirius and james of the group.

As for the Slytherin question, I dunno, and because I would just lovelove for Al and Scorpius to be friends I generally think of them in the same house. Honestly though, it could really be anywhere. It's a bit difficult for me to see Scorpius in Hufflepuff but I could definatly see Albus there so who knows! I do know though, well not know more like hae a feling in my gut, that Scorpius would never be the anti-hereo. I see him as a very kind soul but loud and very clever and I see Albus in very much the same way.

hmmm I've sort of answered the whole friends with the weasley potter clan question... but yeah I guess as for the rest of them I think at one point (very briefly and not very seriously) lily could become infatuated with scorpius... and as for thr cousins... I thinks at first they would be a bit weary towards them but I believe Scorpius has a very positive character that would make the potter-weasley except him. However, this wouldn't stop all of the boys from threatening all of the bones in Scorpius's body when he started dating Rose. (But, like I said, I definatly see it as more one sided on Scorpius's side and Rose sort of giving in) Now, as for the adults I can definatly see the weasley's taking a really, really long time adjusting to him in fact molly never likes him until the day she dies, and Ginny never even really acts very civil to him for a while but in the end she realizes it's useless and stupid.

Oh, one last bit:
Yeah, definatly see him as an only child the idea of a little sister is tempting but Draco doesn't seem like he would be able to handle more than a son.

-mollie

p.s. sorry for all of that, it's a bit of a ramble but... it is definatly how I picture him.

I hatehatehate his name. Sure it's a constellation theme, but damn, it's so fanfic sounding. Lucius sounds evil, Draco sounds evil, Scorpius sounds like a Roman soldier who is a tad bit slow. Nevertheless, it's an interesting choice.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Unless another war breaks out in the wizarding world during his lifetime (or at least, during his youth), I can picture him going to Hogwarts and just... being there.

Who is his mother?
Pansy Parkinson! I don't agree that "if it was her the Trio would have recognized her", like someone pointed out, because even if it was someone else around their age they probably would have recognized her or at least been able to enummerate any important characteristics such as the house she was in.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Probably. The way I see it Draco and Harry, although they don't become the best of friends, end up getting over their resentments.

Will he be in Slytherin?
Probably. Or maybe, just to make it a bit ironic, he gets sorted into Gryffindor.

What about his second name? Hyperion ...

I don't agree that "if it was her the Trio would have recognized her", like someone pointed out, because even if it was someone else around their age they probably would have recognized her or at least been able to enummerate any important characteristics such as the house she was in. We actually have confirmation that Draco's wife is the pureblood Astoria Greengrass, whose sister Daphne was in their year at Hogwarts.

What about his second name? Hyperion ... Scorpius Hyperion... that poor, poor kid...

Scorpius Hyperion... that poor, poor kid...
It is captivating ... to say the least :p

I think from my imagination of his personality and appearance that the name fits him quite well, yes it is a VERY Malfoy name but I think he'll turn out to be quite a nice guy, seeing as JK said he's an improvement on his father. I like to think he befriends Albus Severus and Rose and the fanfic fangirl side of me wants him to fall in love with Rose.

I think many people WOULD meet their future partners at Hogwarts as well, studying there takes up 7 years of their lives .. in those 7 years they live and socialise with their fellow students in their house groups etc so i think the fact that alot of people meet their future partners there would be very likely, that side of it doesn't seem very fanfic like to me, plus as well theres not that many wizarding families in the world in comparison to Muggles so like it's mentioned many times in the books there's alot of pureblood families marrying each other and most pureblood families are related. Wheres the one of the only places wizards would be in contact with wizards? Hogwarts! I think therefore it's very likely that Rose and Scorpius could get together, plus he's already been singled out in the epilogue to her so I reckon she'd have some interest in him before they even get sorted.

I like to think as well that Scorpius and Albus are in Slytherin and Rose either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. I think it'd be nice if non of them were in Gryffindor, just to show that families can be sorted into different houses. I can't see Scorpius in any other house other than Slytherin... maybe Ravenclaw.

It's quite nice that JK hasn't yet given us a full story for the next generation, it'll spark alot more fanfics and theories which is great for us fans! I like little Albus so much and Scorpius too, that tiny shred of info we had about them leaves it open for us to imagine the new characters as we wish.

I think many people WOULD meet their future partners at Hogwarts as well, studying there takes up 7 years of their lives ..

Not to mention, there's nothing said about university or college. It seems they go straight to the workforce from Hogwarts. Their "adulthood" seems to start earlier than the muggle equivalent (in which people are in a quasi-childhood through college) so it would make sense they'd marry sooner.

It seems they go straight to the workforce from Hogwarts. Actually, there is one thing in the books that leads me to believe there is some kind of university / college. Snape had been working at Hogwarts for 14 years by the age of (approximately) 35. So he began teaching at Hogwarts when he was twenty-21; wizards finish school at around 17, and in our world, teaching degrees go for 4 years. It seems to fit in quite nicely. Then again, certain jobs could require training i.e. being an Auror, hence there may not be a university as per say.

Well to be honest I am very tired of the whole Hogwarts romance leads to marriage thing so I am very against Scorpius and Rose getting married. Just remember, Harry and Ginny were the only ones who were actually together at Hogwarts that ended up getting married, and they also dated other people during that time. Ron and Hermione met there, but had left Hogwarts by the time they got their act together. So really, there was only one Hogwarts romance that led to marriage. If you add Rose and Scorpius to that, there's two couples over a couple of generations, which is not too many. There are that many couples engaged in my year right now, and we don't have the (dis)pleasure of living together and hence, all getting to know each other even better. So it's not all that odd if you think about it.

I like to think as well that Scorpius and Albus are in Slytherin and Rose either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. I think it'd be nice if non of them were in Gryffindor, just to show that families can be sorted into different houses. I think so too, but I like to imagine Rose in Gryffindor so that together the three of them can bring upon the two houses the unity that eluded the former generation. It would be lovely for them to succeed where their parents failed. And it's happened in the past, too; look at Sirius.

I can't see Scorpius in any other house other than Slytherin... maybe Ravenclaw Me too. I've always seen Scorpius as a definite Slytherin, Rose as a definite Gryffindor, while Albus is one that could go either way (though I'd like one of the Potter clan to be in Slytherin. And it would be hard to live up to his older brother if he's put in Gryffindor, too).

It is captivating ... to say the least :p

Oh yes, it commands tremendous authority.
But more likely, a lot of hysterical laughter.

After thinking about the matter , i realise that i'm not sure scorpius will be in slytherin. I mean..Draco was bullied into thinking the same way as his father did and after the battle things seem to have changed . Do you think Draco would put scorpius through the same thing ? personnaly i think not...any thoughts?

I see Scorpy to me is a murky character, but him doing a sirius black is a possibility. Or ravenclaw, i think Draco has learned enough after getting his whatever handed to him in the last book.

I've been saying it for the longest time, that we don't know nearly enough about the second generation characters to know what House they would be in or who they would marry. So the only thing we know about Scorpius is that he is Draco and Astoria's son. Based on that information it would be likely that he ends up in Slytherin, no? I honestly have no idea what House he would be in, because we only know things about his dad and not him.

We meet Scorpius in the epilogue. We know he's pure blood, we know he looks like Draco.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Who is his mother?
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Will he be in Slytherin?

1. I think he'll be just as his father, arrogant, boastful, swimming in gold, good Quidditch player.
2. We cannot be sure, but definitely she's not Pansy, I think Jo said that.
3. I doubt that I'm sure they'll never get on well.
4. I think he'll be in Slytherin like the whole Malfoy family or they might disown him :lol:.

Scorpius's mother is Astoria Greengrass, younger sister of Daphne Greengrass (whose name we heard being called in OotP, to go for an exam with Hermione)- Jo said that in a Leaky Cauldron podcast last year.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
I imagine Draco wouldn't want his son to be a pureblood bigot just in case he inadvertently repeats his father's mistakes. Draco would realize his son will have to work and live in a whole new world where that sort of thinking is never tolerated anymore but that doesn't mean Scorpius wouldn't still be an obnoxious spoiled brat.
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children? I think he will eventually after he matures a bit and isn't so spoiled. I also think he'll marry Rose because JKR dropped that giant hint.
Will he be in Slytherin?Most likely, but I think it makes a heck of a lot more sense that he might get sorted out of Slytherin and possibly into Grryfindor than it does that Albus would sort into Slytherin.

FONT="Book Antiqua"]

WHO IS HIS MOTHER?

Well, we know his mother Astoria Greengrass. I think the fact that the trio failed to mention that they recognized her at all, even her house, would suggest that she started at Hogwarts after their seventh year.

Although Draco has made improvments on his character, I doubt that he would be able to overcome them enough to marry a non-pureblood. I think his familiys' bias will still be seriously strong at that point, and therefore too great of an influence.


WILL HE BE IN SLYTHERIN?

This I am torn on. I am of the crowd that thinks that Scorpius and Albus will be friends. I can see both of them in Slytherin, but I tend to think of them in Gryffindor.

I think he will be a lot like Sirius in nature. Raised a little stuck up, but basicly good in nature. Sirius was raised in a prodominatley Slytherin House family, but was in Gryffindor. I think Scorpius will follow in his great-uncles' footsteps into Slytherin.

I know we have absolutely no cannan to support this thought, but I actually see Draco being arrogant enough to assume that Scorpius will be in Slytherin like the rest of his family. So I think he will tell Scorpius about the Slytherin common room. Perhaps even its' secrets. I also see Scorpius and Albus having to sneek into the Slytherin Common Room on some Marauder-esque adventure, or Trio-esque quest using this inadvertant information about Slytherin House.


WILL HE BE FRIENDS WITH THE WEASLEY/POTTER CHILDREN?

YES. YES. YES. I think this possibility offers too many plot points/plot possibilities/character conflicts/character redemptions to be ignored. It is mind candy. And my personal favorite: A Potter, a Weasley and a Malfoy will challenge our own (the reader) bias' and pre-judgements.

Like I said before, I think Scorpius will take after Sirius. I can see them meeting and becoming friends on the Hogwarts Express. And them being a little rebelious/curious in chosing to be friends with someones son, who they have no doubt heard some pretty negative things about the two families. I think that would be inevitable with Authur and Lucius. They would have heard something to taint the pot. Therfore been curious about eachother. But if they are like Harry and Sirius, a bit daring.

I am curious about how Molly will treat Scorpius if Rose brings him home. I think she will be better at accepting him than Aurthur or Ron, but will still be a little chilled at first. I also think she will have a harder time accepting Lucius or Narcissa. Especially as Narcissas' sister Bella did try to kill her kids and her. And the Malfoys were part of the DE's when Mollys' brother was murdered. As much as her husband hates Lucius, Mollys' hatred probably goes back much longer. I think that Molly holds a dark place in her heart for the Malfoys, but will try her best to take Scorpius as he is, not as his fathers' son.

I think Hermione will be the best at outwardly trying to be diplomatic about thir kids' friendship with a Malfoy. No doubt saying how they cant judge him by his father.

My favorite reaction will be Harry's. We already know he can atleast give a civil reaction to Draco (which gives room for some speculation about what interaction they have had in the 19 years since the last battle). But Harry has had the most interesting relationship with Scorpius' father Draco. Harry hated Draco, but saved his life more than once. Harry knows that Draco is tied to him twice over like Wormtail. But Harry has hurt Draco in a bad way with sectum sempra. Harrys actions in this exchange made Harry feel so bad that he was physically ill from guilt. But it was also because of Draco's actions, that Harry became the owner of the elder wand. So in a way, Draco helped Harry defeat Voldemort. Harry must feel some gratitude towards Draco. Draco not only helped his save the wizarding and muggle worlds, but to avenge his parents and godfathers murders.

Harry saw firsthand Dracos reluctance to murder Dumbledore, and name him as Harry in Malfoy Manor. This will probably play some part in his view of Scorpius. Scorpius' family has helped kill more than one member of Albus' family, but Draco couldn't murder one of the most influencial men in Harry's life. that act of compassion will surely resonate in Harrys mind. And therfore, effect how he sees where Scorpius comes from.

Harry will also remember what it was like to be related to the Dursleys. And how different he was from them. This also, I expect will effect how he sees Scorpius. It wasnt Harrys' fault he was releted to the Dursleys, it isn't Scorpius' fault he is a Malfoy.


WHAT COULD BE IN STORE FOR SCORPIUS?

Scorpius will face bias and biggotry from many sides in his life. He is also from a Death Eater Family. This will probably create some problems for him. Surley some animossity for his herritage by witches and wizards who remember all too well the havoc the DE's wrought, will be a plot point.

I have said above that I think he will be in Gryffindor, this should create some interesting effects, along with becoming best friends with the son of Harry Potter. Both of these should make a few waves among the students, staff and general community.

The story would probably surround Albus, therefore Scorpius' story will surround Albus too.

If the Trio had the plot point of defeating Voldemort, then Scorpius and Albus will need a purpose too. I think that will be to bring the houses together.
It was referenced several times that Slytherin needed to pick a side, or the Houses should re-unite. I am thinking, and rather hoping that this was more of JKR's groundwork /foreshadowing.


If Harry already defeated the Badest of the Bad, what could Little Al and Scorpius do to make their own epic? I think that is unite Houses.

#1} Tom Riddle "found more" Hogwarts secrets than any other student. 2 of those secrets that we know of were Founder secrets. What other secrets did he (Tom)find? What other secrets are there?

What adventures will take place enroute of discovering those secrets? I think that it would do if Al inherited his fathers curiosity. And his fathers' nack for doing exactly what he shouldn't be doing, just to answer an unanswered question, when everyone else would be running away. I think he would be compelled to seek this mysteries answer. And if Scorpius takes after Sirius like I think he will, then Scorpius would be right in there with Albus.


#2) Why were the houseelves enslaved? All the other magical creatures are free to a degree. They are monitored, but still pocess free will. WHY are the houselves different in this case?

We know that the old,rich pureblood families have houselves. Do these families trace back to the Founder time, and if so, does the house elve enslavement have anything to do with the founders and what happened at that time?

CoS Ch.10 Pg 177-178 Dobby says to Harry:

" 'Ah, if Harry Potter only knew! Dobby groaned, more tears dripping onto his ragged pillowcase. 'If he knew what he means to us, to the lowly, the enslaved, we dregs of the magical world! Dobby remembers how it was when He-Who-Must-Not-Be -Named was at the height of his powers, sir! We house-elfs were treated like vermin, sir! Of course, Dobby is still treated like that, sir!' he admitted, drying his face on the pillowcase. 'But mostly,sir, life has improved for my kind since you triumphed over He-Who-Must-Not-Be -Named . harry Potter shone like a beacon of hope for those of us who thought the dark days would never end, sir...' "

At first, I thought that this all pertained to Harry specifically. But after "19 years Later", I think it is not specifically Harry, but what Harry represents. Harry represents one who stands between the rise of Slytherin-esque view of the magical world and the Magical world as a good thing.

'Ah, if Harry Potter only knew! Could this emply that it isn't common magical knowledge?


'If he knew what he means to us, to the lowly, the enslaved, we dregs of the magical world! Dobby remembers how it was when He-Who-Must-Not-Be -Named was at the height of his powers, sir! Why does Voldys' height of power fear and effect the house-elves so? Dobby mentions their enslavment, and their lowly place on the totom pole. Is this forshadowing? Is this important?

Theory:

harry Potter shone like a beacon of hope for those of us who thought the dark days would never end, sir...' I think the dark days are their days of their enslavment. I think the uniting of the houses is linked to their freedom. The rise of Vols power threatens the uniting of the houses, thus their freedom.

#3) Neville Longbottom is still at HW. Neville knew the Room of Requirement well, perhaps the best of all. "He really gets this room" remember? Could this be forshadowing?

I can easily see Alby and Scorpius using those ol' stopming grounds. If Neville is still there at HW, maybe he will help Al use it to discover HW secrets, like Tom Riddle did.

#4) Salazar Slytherin had one secret place. Could he have others? Why did he need it? We know the founders were fighting, could the other founders have secret places? There is some emphasis on how confusing HW can be, how many possibilities there are for the stairways. How many corridors... What have we not seen yet?


Whatever Scorpius and Albus end up in, I think these plot points may play some part in their story.

Whatever Scorpius and Albus end up in, I think these plot points may play some part in their story.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Hmm, I kind of doubt it, but I suppose anything's possible. I have a feeling his father would discourage that sort of thing. In the end, we really don't know what kind of personality Scorpius has - if he's rebellious like Sirius, as gyllyweed mentioned, or if he believes what his father teaches him. If he's modeled after the former, then I don't think he'd be friends with them. If he's the latter, he could become friends with them, or at least acquaintances.

Will he be in Slytherin?
Yes, I believe he will be in Slytherin.

See now, I am torn on the Slytherin thing. I think they will be in Gryffindor. But the comment by Harry to Alby in the Epilogue about it would be ok if he was in Slytherin, and The bravest man he ever knew was in slytherin. this might be a little foreshadowing to plant the seed in us. And because I think Scorpius would be an important character to Al if there is another story, and that makes me think Scorpius would be in the same house as Al, I could see Both of them in Slytherin, but I am sticking with Gryff.

But if they are not in Gryff, I think they will be in slytherin, rather than anyother house.

FONT="Book Antiqua"]
I think the fact that the trio failed to mention that they recognized her at all, even her house, would suggest that she started at Hogwarts after their seventh year.


JKR has stated that Asteria Greengrass is two years younger than Draco. And as she was two years younger than the Trio and not in their house, I don't think they'd have a reason to notice her.

I'm hoping that Scorpius would be friends with Al and the others on the train, and he'll become the new-gen Sirius Black, and become the first Malfoy to be a Gryffindor. Who knows, perhaps Astoria Greengrass (YES! It's not Pansy! Hurray for Astoria!) would encourage her son not to uphold the traditional pureblood views and stuff, and he'll be a lot more open-minded than Draco was.

As for Scorpius' love life, I'm a hundred percent sure that he'll fall in love with Rose. Maybe, after years of hanging out with each other, like Ron and Hermione, they'd become lovers. That comment by Ron to Rose not to marry a pure-blood sort of seals it all. (You know, about that comment, I bet Ron's just making an excuse to Rose that Arthur would be mad. Ron himself would go ballistic if Rose/Scorpius were to end up together, I think Arthur would support them.) Rose and Scorpius would be the new-gen Draco/Hermione.

JKR has stated that Asteria Greengrass is two years younger than Draco. And as she was two years younger than the Trio and not in their house, I don't think they'd have a reason to notice her.

oh, thanks. I hadn't heard that one yet. So, thanks for proving my point.

Has JKR said anything else concerning Draco, Scorpius, Astoria and said family members other than Astoria had a sis in Gryff.

other than Astoria had a sis in Gryff.

Her sister was in Slytherin, sorry, I should have made that clear. But Daphne was in the same year as the Trio, Draco and Pansy.

And no, JKR hasn't said anything about Scorpius, Draco and Asteria beyond that.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Will he be in Slytherin?

I think the answer to all of these questions really depend on what Draco and Astoria are like now, and how they raised Scorpius.

All we really get about Draco in the epilogue is that he seems to no longer hold a grudge against the Trio. It doesn't tell us what kind of person he became after the war though.

I think, that, if after the war, the whole Malfoy family changed their way of thinking and dropped the Pure-blood mania, then there's a very good chance Scorpius will be a normal, well rounded boy. Possibly a little snobby, but I can't see him being nearly as nasty as his father.

As far as which house he will be in goes, it's hard to say, we don't know if Scorpius is super intelligent and suited to Ravenclaw. Nor do we know if maybe he rebelled against his parents' Pureblood mentality, and asked to be in Gryffindor like Sirius did. Though, with family tradition etc. I would think he'd probably end up in Slytherin.

As to being friends with the Potter/Weasley children, I suppose it all depends on what type of ideas he took from his parents. If after the war, Draco grew up a lot, and moved on from his animosity towards Harry and Co. then I could see the possibility of Scorpius befriending the Potter/Weasley children if they were in the same house or inter-house relations were more prominent now.

Though, if like Snape did towards James, and Draco has never gotten over is animosity towards Harry, I can see Scorpius continuing the feud into the next generation with either Al or more possibly James.

I kind of get the feeling though, that J.K. R was alluding to a 'Romeo & Juliet' type relationship between Scorpius and Rose.

Who is his mother?

Jo revealed that Draco married Astoria Greengrass during the Pottercast interview. I think that was an interesting choice because she's a wild card - we don't know anything about her and very little about her sister - beyond her name being Daphne, she was in Slytherin, and in Harry's year. That makes is difficult to speculate about Scorpius because we don't know what kind of influence his mother would be. Did she believe in pure-blood superiority? Did she also have Death Eater connections?

We can't say anything definitely, but it seems likely to me that Astoria probably did share Draco's views about pure-blood superiority at least to some extent. I don't believe Draco's views on the matter changed all that much - particularly considering all the lucky breaks the trio got in DH. Jo stated that misfortune had sobered Draco, but there was no significant change in him or his parents from what she has revealed - apart from the loss of the power and influence they had enjoyed previously. He grudgingly accepted that Harry had saved his life and finally realized that open animosity/antagonism would not gain him any favor with anyone - a lesson that would have served him well during his years at Hogwarts - but I think it's most likely that the Malfoys were just biding their time and trying to maintain a low profile - probably waiting for the next Dark Lord to come along and fulfill their dreams. That is most likely the influence that Scorpius had growing up and that will shape who he is as a person.

Will he be in Slytherin?

Again, we can't say anything definitely, but I would say this is most likely. Early childhood is the most significant development period in regards to personality - the parents influence and how a child is raised are the most significant factors there. Scorpius most likely shares his father's ambition and attitude of "the ends justify the means". I think he would be less openly antagonistic than Draco was as a student though. The Malfoys lost all their power and influence because of their association with Voldemort so I don't think Scorpius would have the same arrogance that Draco did in regards to feeling he could get away with whatever he wanted. I think Scorpius would be more cautious.

I do think he would be bitter though. Again, I think that would stem from the influence of his family. The Malfoys are likely very bitter about how things turned out for them - particularly the loss of power and influence. Scorpius most likely grew up hearing about how they were "wronged" and how things would have been different if only that Potter hadn't come along, etc... It seems likely that there would be some resentment towards the Potters and the Weasleys - though I don't think Scorpius would be openly antagonistic towards any of them.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

I think this is highly unlikely. As I said above, I think there would be resentment and bitterness there due to the influence of his family. The Malfoy's - particularly Draco - may grudgingly accept the fact that Harry saved Draco's life, but I don't think that would remove the bitterness and resentment they would feel over the losses they had due to his continual victories over them and Voldemort. Likewise, I think it's highly probable that Scorpius would share his family's belief in pure-blood superiority to some extent - though in the current circumstances he would probably keep that to himself rather than parade it about like Draco did.

Scorpius would most likely feel that bitterness and resentment the most because he would have grown up with that stigma for his entire life and it's very likely that he would have grown up hearing about how it was all Harry's fault - along with Ron and Hermione because they helped Harry. I don't see him overcoming that to become friends with any of the Potter or Weasley children. I don't think he would make the same mistakes that Draco did and be openly antagonistic with them or engage in a rivalry though. I think that he would most likely just give them a wide berth. I think it's possible that he might seek to regain some of his family's honor by doing as well as he could in school and possibly even Quidditch. But I think - on the whole - he would most likely try to keep a low profile and avoid any open hostility.

On the flip side of that, I don't see any of the Potter or Weasley children seeking him out for friendship either. And I would hope that Rose Weasley has higher standards that to date a boy who would most likely always look down on her simply because it might make her father mad. I can see why some people would like that idea - it has the whole Romeo and Juliet vibe to it - but that's really not a good thing, IMO. It didn't turn out so well for Romeo and Juliet with both of them dying after all. ;) I'd put the whole Rose/Scorpius idea on the same level as Draco/Ginny - I'm sure there will be interesting fanfics written about it, but it's not something I would see happening in canon if Jo continued to the story with the future generation.

I'd say the same for Al. He's a lot like Harry and I would hope that he would find good friends that like him for who he is - like Harry found in Ron and Hermione. I don't see Scorpius being that kind of friend to Al. At best, he would be seeking friendship on the basis of Al being the son of "The Chosen One" as a means to regain his family's honor. I don't see the two of them having any common interests or goals to build a friendship on.

I think the Potter and Weasley kids will most likely all be in Gryffindor - though it's possible Rose could be in Ravenclaw. Given Al's relief when Harry told him the Sorting Hat would take his choice into consideration, he would most likely choose Gryffindor - or like Harry, "not Slytherin".

What could be in store for Scorpius?

Scorpius is an interesting study because there is a good possibility of him following in his father and grandfather's footsteps and having more success as a villain because he learned from their mistakes. Much of Lucius and Draco's failure can be attributed to their arrogance in their superiority as well as relying upon being able to buy their way through life. Scorpius has an advantage over them in the fact that he will have grown up without such power and influence and will have to work for anything he wants to achieve. He can't rely on his family's money or influence the way they did.

Just to be clear - I'm not saying Scorpius would definitely be a villain. I think the bitterness and resentment he will have grown up with make that a good possibility, but he could also just focus on himself - future career, etc... - and try to overcome the stigma of his family being associated with Voldemort.

It reminds me of Homer singing "Spider pig" in the trailer of the Simpsons movie.

Don't forget about Harry Porker. :D

Ok guys... What do you think?

Slytherin for sure?

-or-

Gryfindor in the mold of Sirius Black?

Hufflepuff like Cedric Diggory?

or a Ravenclaw

Personally... I'd love to see him In Gryfindor...

Oh... All the mayhem he can cause

I'm thinking Slytherin but his best friends being Al Potter and Rose Weasley..... that should provide a certain twist to the story.... And not all Slytherins believe in the blood purity nonsense.... there are bound to be some who don't.... you have exceptions to every rule after all... look at Wormtail....

As I am reading the forums I came across the post about Rose and Scorpius and started thinking about how odd that would be and how it would tie in with Ron and Draco, but then I considered what about Lily and Scoprius? The bitter rivals children dating? I would wonder how it would play out and the effect of their fathers relationship and how it would have grown or diminished over the years. Furthermore, perhaps Scorpius wouldn't hold the same ground that his grandfather and father used to in their battle to more or less remove muggles, muggle born and even those wizards who like muggles from the world.

I have always wondered after the great battle at Hogwarts where Harry basically pulls Dracos butt out of the fire so to speak, how the relationship between him and the Malfoys would have changed, and if perhaps Draco and his parents may have rethought their position with Harry. Perhaps they decided to bury the hatchet so to speak or if they were still rivals but not so outspoken about it.

Oh my god, Sirius Jr! He should be in Griffindor (even though he comes from a Slytherin family) and be best friends with the Potter and Weasly children. Then he can marry a nice half-blood girl (Rose) and live happily ever after!

-lilmisshogwarts :gryff:

What could be in store for Scorpius?
I truthfully believe that Scorpius will become friends with Albus and Rosie, making the new trio, with Scorpius taking the place of Ron, Rose being Hermione, and Albus obviously being the new Harry. Scorpius I figure will be a lot like his dad in certain respects, stuck up and arrogant and totally unrestrained in being an absulote jerk. But he will also have a kind side and he will have an acute dislike of seeing anyone (especially Rosie ;) ) really genuinely hurt. Oh he might throw around a few mean words now and again, but he will stop short of actually being cruel to anyone, and when someone is hurt he will be unusually proficient at cheering them up and getting them back on their feet. And unlike his father, all of his arrogant, jerkish attitude will be directed in favor of Albus and Rosie, essentially showing what it would have been like to have Draco watching your back. He will have very few friends and look down condescendingly on those who are not his friends, but if you are lucky enough to be one of his very few friends (in other words, Albus or Rosie) then he is very loyal and would do just about anything for you.

Who is his mother?
We know this now right? The Harry Potter Wikia says her name is Astoria Greengrass. I admit that I would have liked it to be Pansy, but it was such a minor thing that I don't really care.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Like already stated, I think that they will be the best of friends. I think that he and Albus will become as close friends as Harry and Ron were (though with Albus always trying to curb Scorpius' arrogant nature, and Scorpius perhaps being annoyed with Albus' tendency to not assert himself to what Scorpius would consider to be his "rightful place"), while Scorpius and Rosie will almost certainly be somthing similar to Ron and Hermione, but with a much different flavor.

Will he be in Slytherin?
Can you imagine the Malfoy heir in any house other then Slytherin? Well I can't. I would like to think that Albus and him would be in the same house, which would make it easier for them to interact in class or in their dormitories, but I am 100% certain that Scorpius will be a Slytherin and 90% certain that Albus will be a Gryffindor (he wants to be after all). Perhaps the classroom conversations will have to be mostly limited to Rose and Albus. Also, I do think that it would be great to see a Slytherin and a Gryffindor as the best of friends, thus reviving the age old friendship between Godric and Salazar.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Well, he goes off to Hogwarts and gets Sorted into...Ravenclaw? If Gryffindor, Lucius would keel over, "hardworking and loyal" doesn't describe any Malfoy and what better way to show the Malfoys turning over a new leaf by being sorted elsewhere?

I think if you really want to get interesting, he'd be a metamorphagus like Tonks and Teddy.

Who is his mother?
Asteria Greengrass. I chose Asteria over Astoria due to the name connotations-Asteria was a goddess of the stars and neocromancy and the mother of Hecate.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
I think James won't like him very much for a few years at least but I do think Albus would befriend him and more relucantly Rose until they fell in love.


Will he be in Slytherin?
No, as stated above, I put him in Ravenclaw.

Scorpius wouldnt be like Draco.Harry save Dracos life twice im pretty sure he would have told his son that unless he WANTED his son to hate ASP

Scorpius wouldnt be like Draco.Harry save Dracos life twice im pretty sure he would have told his son that unless he WANTED his son to hate ASP

I agree. Draco was quite grateful that Harry had save his life. He was beaming, looking for his saviour. I'm pretty sure that Scorpius would at least acknowledge that fact and be friendly ebough to Albus and co.:tu:

Good Lord, I'm happy enough to think that Draco didn't marry Pansy.
hahahaha.
Oh, is it Asteria, or Astoria; Scorpius' mum.

What House do you think Scorpius would be in? If he was in Gryffindor, there would be loads of drama! Then he'd fall in love with Rose Weasley... :love: OK. Must stop imagination. Must stop imagination.

Oh, is it Asteria, or Astoria; Scorpius' mum.

It's Astoria.

Not according to JKR's hand-writing (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/images/jkr/weasleyfamilytree-website.jpg). The "e" in Asteria is identical to the "e" in Percy.

Ah sorry, my mistake. By googling it just now however, I see that the name is still in question.

I don't really think that it is of great consequence anyway.

Yeah, we're never going to know until JKR publishes a Scottish Book. (Assuming she does.)

But (here's the topic) we do know how Scorpius' name is spelled!

EEEK! You are a Rose/Scorpius shipper too? Just like me! :huggles:

This person is correct but there is also another reason I know it is Asteria and not Astoria. All JK's names have meaning so when you look up the 2 variations of this name Astoria really does not come up with anything where as Asteria is the name of one of the Titans daughters and in knowing this you can go even further with Scorpius's middle name which is Hyperion and that is the name of one of the Titans. So there is your connection and reason for her name being Asteria and not Astoria.

Also earlier in this thread someone asked why his name was Scorpius that has to do with the Black family tradition of name children after stars and constellations. If you look at the Black Family Tree you will notice that most of them have these kinds of names.

So in conclusion her name is Asteria not Astoria and Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy is named for both sides of his family.

I love his middle name. Hyperion...it just radiates rad. "Don't mess with me, fool, cause when Hyperion gets mad, Hyperion gets REALLY mad."

Hyperion Scorpius Malfoy sounds so much better.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
I think that he'll be a bit more decnt than Draco was, but definately a Slytherin.
Who is his mother?
Astoria Greengrass, younger sister of Daphne who was in Draco's year. (JKR didn't want him to marry Pansy because she hated her :p)
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
I don't think so, especially after what his parents went through. Remember how Ron asked Rose to beat Scorpius at every test, "thank God you inherited your mother's brains."
Will he be in Slytherin?
Yes, I think so.

What could be in store for Scorpius?

An incredibly easy life.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

No and no.

Will he be in Slytherin?

Yes.

What could be in store for Scorpius?

I don't know what's in store for Scorpius, but I do know what's in store for Draco. A whole lot of awkward questions from Scorpius about the past!

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

I can't see it to be honest. I don't think he'll be as obnoxious to them as Draco was to the Trio, but I can't seem them as friends. I see them as somewhat distant.

Will he be in Slytherin?

Probably.

An incredibly easy life.

How do you figure this? His father was a Death Eater as was his grandfather and they were all on the side that lost the war.

Even if they kept all their fortune (a big if) they'd still be pariahs to most of the wizarding world. They'd been the ones to house Voldemort after all and they would forever be attached to him in the eyes of most of wizarding Britain.

I think it's more likely Rose, Hugo, Lily, Al, and James will be the ones with the charmed lives.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
A very very very hard life many akward questions about his grandfather and father and them being death eaters.

Who is his mother?
all honesty not sure

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
He will be friendly with them but not friends

Will he be in Slytherin?
Maybe he'll break the chain i hope he goes into huffelpuff cuz draco always made fun of those kids.

I wish he had a different name. Scorpius is like a scorpion. Here in AZ, we kill scorpions.
Why would he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children? He is a social snob. And of course he would be in Slytherin. I just have a hard time picturing him someplace else.
I also picture him having a lonely life. A son and grandson of DE's. People might not like him because of his family's past.

He wont be a social snob like his father draco thought he was better then every one and that made him a snob, after losing the fight draco is very akward and wont brag as much. For some reason i picture draco as insecure for this

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Alot of popularity. I guess he'll be one of the only living relatives of DEs, and alot of the Slytherins would look up at him for that. Possibly more popular than his father, and certainly his grandfather!
Who is his mother?
Astoria Greengrass. =P
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
No, I doubt it. I sort of expect them to be like a cross between the Marauders and Snivellus, and the Trio and Draco. They'll hex eachother in the corridors, and while the Potter/Weasley clan outnumber him by 20:1, he'll have all of the Slytherins who look upto him. But then, they won't be as bad as the Marauders+Snivels were, they went a notch too far.
Will he be in Slytherin?
No doubt about it.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
The reputation the Malfoy family has might make it hard for Scorpius at first. He might want to break out of the mold his father's family set. Students and Professors will stereotype him as the typical Malfoy without meeting him first. It will be assumed he will be in Slytherin whether he fits that house or not.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
If he's anything like his father, no. If he's not then perhaps. I like to ship Rose/Scorpius so I say yes.

I think it all depends on how Draco raised him. I don't think he'll be a meek, shy person though. At worst, he'll be like Draco though I doubt it. I think he'll be indifferent to the Weasleys/Potters. He could also conceivably be some sort of version of Sirius.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
A lot of curiosity because I think he'd be the only son of a death eater, or he could be bullied for it :no:

Who is his mother?
JKR said in an interview that it was Astoria Greengrass

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
It depends how he was raised. If he isn't a stuck up pure blood maniac like Draco then he could get along with the Potter/Weasley kids, but I don't think they'd be best friends - they just wouldn't hate each other. I'm all for Rose/Scorpius though :love:

Will he be in Slytherin?
Yes, both his parents were so I don't see him being any different

Who is his mother?


His mother's name is Astoria Greengrass, she's the sister of Daphne Greengrass (a member of Pansy's possee in OotP).
http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/j-k-rowling-talks-fred-weasley-draco-malfoys-wife-teddy-lupin-52476/ <-- Here's the link where you can read a bit about it.

I've always pictured Scorpius to be the dark, handsome, mysterious type....the typical "bad boy," even though all the bad he's ever done was done by his father. But, anyways, I think that being a social leper will probably make Scorpius be more introverted, and one to shy away from trouble or conflict.

Then again, I have this little fan-ficy dream of Rose and Scorpius getting together (she'd be a Ravenclaw, and being curious about EVERYTHING, she'd want to break through his rough exterior :love: :love: :love:....anyways) and then getting the whole Potter/Weasley gang and doing some extreme revolutions in the Sorting System.

That last part is really unlikely, but it's still possible, because the Potter and Weasley children are going to have a LOT of influence in the Wizarding World. That's basically a given.

The reputation the Malfoy family has might make it hard for Scorpius at first. He might want to break out of the mold his father's family set. Students and Professors will stereotype him as the typical Malfoy without meeting him first. It will be assumed he will be in Slytherin whether he fits that house or not.

Both his parents were Slytherins, but we know next to nothing about Astoria and JKR has always emphasized that they don't all fit the DE mold. I agree that if he did go into Slytherin he'd probably be stereotyped by the teachers and students as the typical Malfoy. I think it would depend on how his parents raised him and his own personality if he feels the need to break out of that stereotype or remake the Malfoy name from within Slytherin.

I could see Draco encouraging him to keep an open mind or even try for Ravenclaw. Maybe he wouldn't want his son to have the same sort of pressures he did? I'm sad it's something we won't ever get to know for sure about. But I guess that's what ff is for :)

Ravenclaw would probably be the only other house Draco would be okay with Scorpius getting into (if he's okay with breaking the mold). We know his feelings on Gryffindor and I think he once said something bad about Hufflepuffs.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
"A lot of curiosity because I think he'd be the only son of a death eater, or he could be bullied for it"

I don't think he will be bullied for it. I think he will be the bully, just like his father. Their family seems all to know how to bully.


Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Why not?! It's possible. I think it will be cool if children befriend each other and afterwards knew that their parents were kind of enemies.

Will he be in Slytherin?
Think so.

Winky45:clap:

I think he could be pushed into the position of the bully. People expect it out of him since his father was like that. You know what I mean?

What could be in store for Scorpius Malfoy?

A steamy relationship with Rose Weasley. ;)
But seriously, The question is whether Draco has passed on his resentment for the trio to Scorpius, or his gratefulness. And how this affects Scorpius, and what his relationship with his father is.
That could tell us a lot about what's to come for Scorpius.

Who is his mother?

Astoria Greengrass, who I just feel came out of nowhere. But anything's better than Pansy Parkinson.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

Like I said in my first answer this depends a lot on how Draco has made out the family to be; whether he's exaggerated that they are scum or glorified them. And how loyal Scorpius is to his father. And how appealing he finds any of the Potter/Weasley kids.

Will he be in Slytherin?

Ohh, yes. Definitely.

I'm working on a next-gen fic series that uses Scorpius as one of the main characters (along with Albus Severus and an OC named Egeria Nott, who is Scorpius' maternal cousin and the daughter of Daphne and Theodore Nott), so I've been doing quite a bit of thinking about his character lately. Here's my thoughts:
What could be in store for Scorpius Malfoy?
Life could not have been easy for any of the people who 'lost' the Second Wizarding War, and, given how connected the Malfoys were with Voldemort and his ideals, I imagine that they faced a great deal of ostracization and prejudice, which leads me to believe that Scorpius will face similar attitudes, regardless of whether or not he is anything like his father and grandfather.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Yes. I firmly believe that JKR included the mention about Albus being afraid to be sorted into Slytherin and Harry reassuring him that it wasn't a big deal and Ron jokingly telling Rose not to get too friendly with Scorpius specifically to give us a clear indication of her personal feelings on the 'unseen future' of the HP universe, and also firmly believe that, if Albus was indeed sorted into Slytherin, Scorpius would be one of his close friends.


Will he be in Slytherin?
We know that, although there are exceptions, House affiliation tends to run in families, so the answer to this is a definite 'yes' because every single previous Malfoy - either by birth or marriage - has been in Slytherin.

I love his middle name. Hyperion...it just radiates rad. "Don't mess with me, fool, cause when Hyperion gets mad, Hyperion gets REALLY mad."

Hyperion Scorpius Malfoy sounds so much better.

All the members of the House of Black/Malfoy/Lestrange etc....have awesome names.

What could be in store for Scorpius?

Greatness and wealth

Who is his mother?

Astoria Greengrass

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

Hopefully not

Will he be in Slytherin?

Of course.

Scorpius, Scorpius, Scorpius....

Well, the Malfoys didn't seem evil towards the end of DH, so maybe Draco raised him to be less biased. Maybe he'll talk to Rosie or something. JKR really gave us nothing to go from besides his likeness and his name! We have no clue if he's a jerk or if he's just a regular 11 year old boy.

His mother... his mother must he a huge pushover because she allowed her son to be named Scorpius... (Well... I don't know, Hermione allowed her son to be named Hugo...) I personally think she's a foreign girl. There aren't very pureblood families that we haven't met, amirite? So she couldn't be a daughter of that.


............Has anyone thought that maybe the Lestranges could've had a baby somewhere? OHHHHH I SPY A FANFICTION BREWING.

His mother... his mother must he a huge pushover because she allowed her son to be named Scorpius... (Well... I don't know, Hermione allowed her son to be named Hugo...) I personally think she's a foreign girl.

JKR already revealed its Asteria Greengrass, younger sister of Daphne Greengrass who was a Slytherin and in Harry's year.

I like to imagine Scorpius to be placed in Slytherin, as his family would have liked, but not with much hatred of Gryffindor and the like. His mother? Maybe a pureblooded witch, though since real purebloods (not those "purebloods" who erase the Muggles and Squibs in their family trees) are scarce, Draco would have had a hard time finding one. Scorpius's mother could be half-blood, since I don't think the Malfoys are willing to have a Muggleborn in their family soon. But maybe times have changed.
Scorpius seems to be a thoughtful, open-minded kind of person who doesn't shy away from whatever the possibilities are. He might have wondered why his father wouldn't have liked the trio's kids, and think that it's not a good enough reason. I think that by this time Draco Malfoy would have gotten over his hatred of the trio. I mean, they saved his life! Now that the people who have been influencing him (his father, the Death Eaters, Voldemort) don't have that happy power anymore, he would have been civil with the Potters and the Weasleys, at least.
It would have been really cool if he were friends (or hopefully more than friends) with Rosie. So cute!

I wouldn't mind having Scorpius being in either Slytherin or Gryffindor. I personally would just love to see him in Gryffindor to see Grandpa Lucius's reaction this would be priceless. I wish we would know a little bit more about Astoria, oh well that's what Fan Fiction is for. Personally I like Scorpius's name. It just sounds like the best name to be a Malfoy.
I would love for him to be friends with Al and Rosie. Mostly because it would show that the Wizarding World is really coming together after the Final Battle, and there's not (a lot) of the bias that there was before the war. Also I will admit I am a Rose/Scorpius shipper.

If he got placed in Gryffindor he could be the Sirius of the Malfoy family except his parents would still love him.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

I like him being a friend with a Weasley/Potter kid, singular, who thinks a little differently and is willing to judge him on his own merits rather then his family's reputation.

What could be in store for Scorpius?

I see him suffering great predjudice at a young age as well as the great priviliage due to his wealth. This gets him thinking at a young age, very much unlike his father. As a result, Scorpius is sorted into Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, along with the Weasley/Potter spawn described above.

Perhaps some other friends are inappropriate by past Malfoy standards in a way that might mildly annoy the parents, but who accept it because they are struggling mightly to restore their respectability in the post war world. In doing so they lossen up a little bit.

He marries someone wonderfully inappropriate like said Potter/Weasley Spawn if her name is Rose. If his name is Albus they have a double wedding---each of them marrying one of Cho's daughters (with Ginny and Draco finding common ground for the first time in their lives, and end up getting very smashed) or two muggles they met online or someone (for Scorpius) named Dursley; something like that. Regardless, he is hetero and spawns.

Scorpius and said wife go on create a new line of Wizards who are genuinely free of much of their parent's legacy and whose example makes a better world over time instead of being stuck in same cycle led to a huge war.

Couldn't think of a better outcome.

Slytherin?

Hope not. But I hope he respects his parents enough so that he doesn't mind his kids being in the house. Same goes for Gryffindor.

Who is his Mummy Dearest?

Astoria Greengrass. Still, the fanfic that came out right after DH had some really cool other options that I kinda make me wish JKR would have stayed silent.

All the Best,

Lunatic

Astoria Greengrass-Malfoy may be different from her sister, I mean, she was hardly ever mentioned in Pansy's gang. She is like the biggest change Malfoy could find while maintaining those Slytherin tradition stuff.

Astoria Greengrass. Still, the fanfic that came out right after DH had some really cool other options that I kinda make me wish JKR would have stayed silent.

I'm glad she didn't, to be honest. Knowing Scorpius' mother makes Scorpius feel more grounded in canon and less fanon-y. Also, it curbs (though does not halt) fandom's impulse to only focus on Draco as if Scorpius sprung fully-formed from his head and didn't have two parents. He can be his own fully-formed character now, a Greengrass and Malfoy, instead of some watered-down imitation of Draco.

Here is what i think would happen

- Scorpius will be sorted into Slytherin

- Slytherin's and Gryffindor's have not gotten on in a thousand years and Dumbeldore defeating Grindelwald didn't bring the two houses together so i don't think Voldemort being defeated would end the Gryffindor/Slytherin rivalry/dislike especially considering that almost all the Slytherin's left Hogwarts before the Battle of Hogwarts instead of staying and fighting like a lot of people in other houses. James Potter's comments in the Epilogue also made it seem like Slytherin's and Gryffindor's still didn't get along.

- Due to the Slytherin/Gryffindor rivalry if Scorpius is sorted into Slytherin i can't see him becoming friends with any of the sons and daughters of Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione (especially if those sons and daughters are in Gryffindor).

- Correct me if i am wrong but other than Snape and Lily i can't think of a Gryffindor and a Slytherin who were friends (at least while they were still at school).

There is nothing to imply that Scorpius will be in Slytherin or Rose and Al in Gryffindor. They could all wind up in Hufflepuff for all we know. And just because it was never mentioned, there's no reason to think Slytherins and Gryffindors were never friends just because it wasn't mentioned.

Nothing implied but its statistically likely. I'm not sure there has ever been a Wealsey who wasn't in Gryffindor and i don't think there has ever been a Malfoy who wasn't in Slytherin. Even Percy (who is by no means a normal Weasley) was made a Gryffindor and its most likely because he was a Weasley.

I am an anti-traditionalist, but I would love for Scorpius to be a Slytherin. However, now that the option has occurred to me, I have become a Rose/Scorpius shipper. I wish that the post-war world could be more united, and I'm afraid it won't be, but there is a good chance that the new generation may begin to forget its former's prejudices... I certainly hope so. Regardless, I feel like Draco is a lot more liberal about tradition than Lucius ever would have dared to be, so Scorpius will certainly be raised in a more open-minded environment.

What could be in store for Scorpius?

This is a really interesting question. He has a lot of gittiness in his genes, and I think he would often struggle between those urgings and the desire to do good and be nice to people. I think if he could get over this conflict he could find his true talents and be a very talented wizard.

Who is his mother?

Astoria Greengrass.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

Nope! I don't see anything to suggest he would be. I imagine his personality and the personalities of the Weasley grandchildren being very different. I don't see them as compatible people. It's something to consider. It would be like the grandson of a Nazi officer befriending the grandchildren of a Jew-supporting German.

Will he be in Slytherin?

Yep!

I feel like children don't have to carry the exact mindsets of their parents and grandparents. As most will grow to be capable of independent thought, they'll undoubtedly develop their own opinions of people and issues past and present. This goes for all of them: the Weasley, Potter and Malfoy kids.

How a child is raised is often the most important factor in the person they become. It is no coincidence that the Malfoy's have been Slytherin's for a thousand years and it is no coincidence that the Weasley's have been Gryffindor's for as long as they can trace back.

There are a few exceptions like Sirius Black but i think it requires a very strong personality to do it.

Exactly. I also think Albus and Scorpius' striking resemblances to their fathers are no coincidence. The beginning of the epilogue had me realizing that things were better; the war was over. With Draco's curt nod, I was reminded that some things never change. Harry saved his life and he won't even speak.

With Draco's curt nod, I was reminded that some things never change. Harry saved his life and he won't even speak.

Considering that they used to be enemies, always trying to cause trouble for each other, IMO this is a massive improvement.

Maybe an improvement but not what one would expect as a sign of gratitude nonetheless.

As to that--I can imagine Draco was grateful in his own way, but...he still is Draco Malfoy. We can't expect a complete character transformation, even in nineteen years. It's not as if he was about to come running up to Harry in the middle of Kings Cross, bowing in gratitude.

However, I do believe that if ever a situation arose where Harry and Draco found themselves alone together, Draco would thank him in some way. Probably with some sarcasm twisted in, but genuine thanks nonetheless.

Regardless, I personally do not see Scorpius befriending any of the Weasley grandchildren.

If he got placed in Gryffindor he could be the Sirius of the Malfoy family except his parents would still love him.

I really love that idea. :tu: Seriously, I love it. :)

There is nothing to imply that Scorpius will be in Slytherin or Rose and Al in Gryffindor. They could all wind up in Hufflepuff for all we know. And just because it was never mentioned, there's no reason to think Slytherins and Gryffindors were never friends just because it wasn't mentioned.

:agree: :agree: :agree:

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

Nope! I don't see anything to suggest he would be. I imagine his personality and the personalities of the Weasley grandchildren being very different. I don't see them as compatible people. It's something to consider. It would be like the grandson of a Nazi officer befriending the grandchildren of a Jew-supporting German.

But the grandson of the officer is not responsible for his grandfather's crimes. Children should not have to pay for their parents', or grandparents', sins. Why should Scorpius experience prejudice at his school because of his ancestor's dubious deeds and be treated as if he were a junior DE in the making? The HP books emphasise justice, and that to me would not be just at all. :)

Regardless, I personally do not see Scorpius befriending any of the Weasley grandchildren.

Impossible to say because the author hasn't set anything down in black and white about it. Until she does, all bets are open, IMO. :D :)

We're all just speculating here ... and it's fun. :)

Personally, I love the idea of a Scorpius who is intelligent and hardworking, cherished by his parents and a bit superior in his attitude but certainly not a bad kid, and certainly not a spiteful one, who is able to reach across the Great Divide separating him from the Gryffndors. (This would involve certain Gryffindors of the Next Generation also co-operating. ;) )

And if Rowling ever wrote anything like that, I would love her forever. :lol:

That's true. However, I thought that the Draco we saw in the epilogue wasn't totally altered. I think he would never teach his son violence or anything of the sort. But I think he still had some prejudice, which he might have passed on. Therefore, I think that Scorpius himself might entertain some of his family's beliefs. Something that might set him apart from some people (like the Potters and the Weasleys) and not his being of a DE family. That's just how I see it, :)

You're exactly right. It is just speculation. That's why I was quick to include the word "personally" as it is just my opinion and nothing more. It's an interesting topic to explore and there's no way to know who's right (c'mon Jo, Scottish Book...).

There are still shaky race relations even after World War II and other great conflicts. I don't see great strides like this being accomplished just nineteen years later.

Plus, the way I imagine Scorpius I simply do not find him a likable character in the first place, so that shows my obvious bias.

Would Draco tell Scorpius about his past? Would he tell him about how he had to kill Dumbledore and all that?

Would Draco tell Scorpius about his past? Would he tell him about how he had to kill Dumbledore and all that?

I don't see why shouldn't/wouldn't. It's better for both of them. If Draco concealed the truth from his son, Scorpius might learn about it from another source. Which I think would lessen his respect towards Draco. But if Draco told him about, he might form his ideas and concepts in better way, without being 'shocked' or 'unable to believe such a thing about his father' . It would also help prevent Scorpius from slipping into that sort of thing, himself.

I'm not sure if it is true but i read somewhere that JKR said that Scorpius was a "slightly better" version of his father. To me it sounds like he shares some of his fathers views on race but he isn't quite as bad. There are levels of racisms and i guess Scorpius is one level below that of his father.

Or he doesn't share his fathers views on pureblood vs anything else, but is just spoilt.

It can mean anything and I personally don't take it for granted that JKR's comment means he was against muggleborns and halfbloods.

I think it's quite possible he was discriminatory against non-Purebloods just like his father. It's just as likely, in my opinion, as him not being so.

As to that--I can imagine Draco was grateful in his own way, but...he still is Draco Malfoy. We can't expect a complete character transformation, even in nineteen years. It's not as if he was about to come running up to Harry in the middle of Kings Cross, bowing in gratitude.

Would have to agree with this. In an interview some time ago, JK mentioned something along the lines that Draco feels forever embarrassed and grudgingly indebted to Harry. I don't think Draco can or has changed that much. He is who he is. He and Astoria likely raised Scorpius in a similar manner to how they themselves were brought up. I do think it possible for Draco's son to have a distinct personality and outlook despite his family's mindset, though, and be the oddball like Sirius.

I like to imagine that he will be a Slytherin, an unconventional one in many ways, and marry Rosie, a Gryffindor. :D

I personally don't think Scorpious will be evil or mean, because things in the wizarding world are different. I think he will learn to think for himself. It would also be cool if Scorpious and Albus Severus became friends...wishful thinking but still :P

(Still haven't got used to this quoting malarky) leah49 - If he got placed in Gryffindor he could be the Sirius of the Malfoy family except his parents would still love him.

I totally believed that! That was my theory for ages. That Scorpius would be a Gryffindor with Rosie and Albus etc. That makes me happy to think that given similarities to Sirius and that someone born into a once "evil" family could be very good. Its nice to imagine Draco's face when he gets an owl from his son saying he was sorted into Gryffindor. Priceless.

Howdy Pards,

In Half Blood Prince and especially in Deathly Hallows, Lucius Malfoy and the entire Malfoy family were learning lessons the hard way. Now whatever had motivated Lucius in the beginning to follow Voldemort, in the end the entire Malfoy family was motivated only by fear of Voldemort. In the end there was no loyalty to him...none whatsoever... only fear.

I believe that Lucius, Draco, and Narcissa had the ability to learn from their mistakes... and did. Hard lessons.

So, do I believe Draco would raise his children a little differently than he had been raised...? Yep. I surely do.

The one thing the Malfoy family appeared to have in the end was the desire to protect their family. Lucius wasn't fighting for Voldemort. Lucius was looking for his son. Narcissa told Voldemort that Harry was dead... when he clearly wasn't. She had no loyalty to Voldemort whatsoever...none.

So, Grandma, Grampa, and father had learned many hard lessons by the time young Scorpius Malfoy came along...

What could be in store for Scorpius?

A better, happier life than his father had...

Who is his mother?

I truly have no idea...but I believe the family will be strong...and much happier.

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

Could very well be. Harry Potter was, is, and forever will be famous for what he did in the war...so are the Weasleys... and, the truth of it is that Harry and company saved Draco on more than one occasion...and Narcissa saved Harry. Add a little Pumpkin Juice and Butter Beer and friendships could indeed develop... In the beginning it may not be easy for Lucius and Draco to look Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron straight in the eye... but I do not believe that Narcissa would hesitate one bit. Not one bit.

Will he be in Slytherin?

More than likely...BUT, Slytherin will have changed quite a bit I believe given the facts of the war. The entire Wizarding World has the ability to learn from the past...so they are not condemned to repeat it. Hogwarts has a long and glorious past...and an even greater future ahead of it. There is hope.

Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.

Wild Ol' Dan

I like the way you put that Dan i agree with the Malfoys learning mistakes

We meet Scorpius in the epilogue. We know he's pure blood, we know he looks like Draco.

What could be in store for Scorpius?
Who is his mother?
Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?
Will he be in Slytherin?
Scorpius could be an opponent for Albus, just like Draco an opponent for Harry, in Quidditch and adventures. Scorpius could be a competitor for Rose in academic grades.
His mother was revealed to be Astoria Greengrass in the movie, or Asteria in Jo Rowling's handwritten family trees.
He could be friends with the Potter/Weasley children, although it would be very awkward in the beginning, given the recent history of their parents and the long history of their families. It would be a breakthrough in family ties.
Scorpius should most certainly be in Slytherin, as his family was always in Slytherin.

Like the Blacks were? :huh:

What could be in store for Scorpius?

That would depend on the store he chose to shop for his future in, wouldn't it? Considering we don't get any info on general trends in the wizarding world '19 years later', he could end up running for "The Other Minister" for all we know... http://www.smilies-and-more.de/pics/smilies/tired/018.gif

Personally, I like to think he'd end up investing in the Muggle IT sector - high profile enough (with the obvious benefits of being able to claim 'it's all for the money'), yet different from the beaten path enough to satisfy the rebellious urges all youngsters experience at a certain point.

Who is his mother?

Ms Rowling already answered that, I believe... :relax:

Will he be friends with the Potter/Weasley children?

Perhaps, but I highly doubt it'll be friendship at first sight... :lol:

Will he be in Slytherin?

I don't think so... Ravenclaw, perhaps? With family history like his, I don't really see him as overly eager to step into the spotlight.... :no:

Gryffindor is another plausible option: I can't imagine his childhood was particularly carefree one, given his ancestry, so it'd take a lot of guts to keep the superior air... :agree:

I really think he could be a gryffindor he might end up like Sirius being the only gryffindor in a slytherin family

Like the Blacks were? :huh:
Sirius was an exception. He said so in OoP. There was a good reason for it. One of them was his friendship with James Potter (Sr.). They could have already been friends before Hogwarts. Sirius willingly chose Gryffindor, because he didn't agree with his family.
From Ron's remark, it seemed that the Malfoys kept Scorpius out of public eye until that day. Home-schooling most likely. There could be many events where wizards and witches would normally attend. Quidditch World Cup, for example. Throughout the years, Scorpius Malfoy was not seen, at least by Ron. Remember that Ron and George managed the successful shops attended by many customers. Also, Ron and Harry worked as aurors to sort out bad sorcerers. Thus, Ron might have seen the Malfoys several times, but hadn't seen Scorpius, only knowing him by name. With such tight control from the Malfoys, Scorpius would not have much choice, but to learn his family way, just like Draco learned from Lucius and Narcissa. With both parents from Slytherin and no other specific information, Scorpius would almost certainly be in Slytherin.

thats what i thought at first but then i re-thought the whole thing about being the one exception in a family like Sirius

Exception occurred for specific reasons as needed by the author. Sirius Black was an exception, so he could be a Marauder and Harry's godfather. His house was to be the headquarter of OOP and Harry's temporary home. Phineas Nigellus Black could prevent Harry from running away and his portrait could be a communication device during the run.
Unless there was a special need for Scorpius to be in other house, he should be in Slytherin. With Crabbe dead, Goyle's fate unsure, very few Death Eaters' children left, Scorpius Malfoy could be the main flag-bearer of a new and better Slytherin house.
