Disclaimer: The characters, settings and HP Franchise as a whole are owned by JKR and not by me. I make no profit from writing this piece of fanfiction.
Summary: Scorpius celebrated just a little too hard and woke up in Al's bed.
A/n: Un'beta'd. Written for Day 27 of "31 Days Of Weasleys" at [community profile] weasleyjumpers for the prompts: "Albus/Scorpius" and "Ogden's Old Firewhisky". Four days to go. Title is a play on "In Vino Veritas" i.e. In wine, truth but they've been drinking spirits instead. Pretty sure google translate has given me the latin for spirit as in ghost though not as in booze.

Scorpius Malfoy woke up with an aching stomach, a pounding head and a mouthful of gravel.

He tried to say 'Aagh' but it didn't come out even that clearly.

"Awake are we?" said Albus Severus Potter, sticking his head around the door. It was about that time when Scorpius realised he was not in his own bed.

"What happened?" he said.

"Well, you got into The Wasps" Al said.

"Oh good."

"We shared a bottle of Ogdens to celebrate"

"Oh no."

"You told me you loved me and wanted to make love to me."

"Oh No!", Scorpius looked around wildly. This was Al's bed. "Did we…?"

"Scor, we drank a bottle of firewhiskey," Al said matter-of-factly, "there were ethical and physical reasons that couldn't happen."

"Oh good," Scorpius said.

"Good?" Al asked, grinning.

"We did it, I'd like to remember it," Scorpius said and a look of realisation crossed over his face. "You said ethical and physical reasons, right?"

"Yup."

"Not that you're straight and not interested."

Al just winked.

"Come on, I made James' patented hang-over cure breakfast. We can talk when we've recovered."

"I.. ah.. I-uh," Scorpius stammered. "Yeah, we can do that."

They went to breakfast, together.
