Stupidly, Albus responds with a very smooth, not-at-all confident, "Oh."


Well. That settles things, doesn't it? That Scorpius says Albus likes girls, so he does.

All right, so it's true. Albus does like girls. Or ... well, a couple of them, anyway.

Honestly, his whole romantic history is a bit scarce at best.

Shamefully scarce, actually.

Blimey.

The last thing he needs right now is more embarrassment.

"Okay. Right."

He doesn't feel like Scorpius saying that has made things any less confusing.
