Objectively, Albus did not believe that anyone would be really shocked if they heard them calling Scorpius with the typical terms of someone who is in charge. He believed instead that they all had a plausible idea of who or what he was, since even the first-year kids had learned to be afraid of Malfoy. He had never caught anyone talking bad about Scorpius, but Albus did not rule out that strange rumors might circulate, albeit only among the Slytherins and in a form so discreet that it never reached the ears of the Children of Salazar.
