Hello everyone, it has been quite a while since I have written a fanfic but I really wanted to give this one a shot. I have recently become slightly, ok very, obsessed with the Rose and Scorpious ship. I am bound to be little rusty so please bear with me.

Chapter 1

The air was crisp as we made our way to the Platform. It was the beginning of my sixth year at Hogwarts and I was quite excited to be going back.

"Rose! Hang on a sec!" I turned at the sound of my name and found one of my cousins, Albus, making his way to me.

"Hey Albus, are you excited for this year?" I continued to push my luggage trolley towards the barrier where the Wizarding World was hidden from the prying eyes of the Muggles.

"Mum an Dad have been talking nonstop about this year all summer. You know it's when they first started going together." Albus wrinkled his nose but I couldn't help but smile at the thought.

It was true, the famous Harry Potter was in his sixth year when he finally came to his senses and swept Ginny Weasley off of her feet. Now it was my turn to begin my sixth year and I wanted to have the same luck that my aunt and uncle.

"Rose?" Albus waved his hand in front of my eyes to gain back my attention. I hadn't realized that I had zoned out.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about this year."

"No, you were thinking about Mum and Dad's story again." Albus bumped into my shoulder as a blush crept over my features.

"Albus you know that I think it is romantic. Even with the war that was in the works." Albus snorted and pointed to the barrier that we had finally reached.

"Would you like to go first? Mum, Dad, Lilly, and James will be right behind us. I ran ahead to catch up with you." Albus made a grand gesture sweeping his arm out to the side.

To a Muggle it would have looked quite strange to see a boy offering for a girl to go first to walk into a solid barrier.

"Albus, stop that. This place is full of Muggles, and you know that they don't understand our ways." I scolded him, but I couldn't help the smile that was on my face. I stopped a couple feet away from the barrier and got a running start, holding tight onto my trolley.

I felt the slight change in temperature as I slid through the barrier unnoticed by the Muggles passing by. I stopped once I broke through and waited for Albus, who came through mere seconds after I did. We stood there for a moment and waited for Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry to come through with my cousins.

"Where is Hugo?" Albus asked as his parents and sibling came through the barrier.

"He is with Mum and Dad. I got excited and left them in the lot while I went inside. They should be here shortly." As I said this my own parents and sibling came through the barrier.

"Thank you for waiting for us Rose." My Mum came up to me and tucked a strand of my unruly curls, the mirror image of her own, behind my ear.

"I wasn't going to get on the train without saying goodbye to you." I smiled at Mum and then at Dad as he caught up to us.

"Good, she didn't get on the train." Dad said as he slipped an arm around Mum's waist.

"Ron, give your daughter more credit than that. She isn't you." Mum kissed Dad's cheek.

It's true that I was more like my Mum than my Dad, but my looks were that of a Weasley. Tiny freckles covered my high cheekbones and the bridge of my nose and my hair had the Weasley red mixed with my Mum's brown. My height however was not typical of the Weasley's. That again came from my Mum's family.

"I know that she isn't me Hermione, but you never know. She is a Weasley." My Dad grinned and winked at me before catching me into a hug. "Have a good year my Rosie."

"I plan on it." I hugged him back then turned to my Mum and gave her a hug. "I'll send an owl after I get settled in."

My Mum kissed the top of my head and let me run off to catch up with the rest of the Weasley and Potter clan.

I found the car with my brother and cousins and plopped down in the seat beside Albus.

"Did our parents seem kind of extra mushy this time?" Albus asked me.

"Maybe, but you know that this was the last time that they were all at Hogwarts together before the War." Hugo spoke up from his seat across from me. "Aunt Ginny didn't want to let go of Lilly this time." He cast a smile to the younger cousin and she stuck out her tongue.

Then the Hogwarts Express lurched into motion and sent us on our way to the castle.

After riding for a short time I decided that I wanted to find the snack trolley and stretch my legs. After asking my family if they wanted anything, I set off in my search with a few coins in my hand.

As I made my way I smiled at the other students that I knew and gently waved at the nervous first years. I didn't remember being that small when I started at Hogwarts, but I really didn't have much room to talk since I brushed five feet and three inches on a good day.

The train curved along the track at that moment and I lost my balance, throwing my hands out in front of me to catch myself. But it wasn't the floor that my hands came into contact with. I opened my eyes that I hadn't realized I had closed and saw my palms flat against Slytherin robes.

"Easy there, are you alright?" A deep voice asked me lightly.

I followed the Slytherin tie up to the collar where a button was undone. I continued raising my eyes to see a strong jaw, high cheekbones similar to my own, and finally to a set of beautiful grey eyes. It took me moment to realize that the person I was looking at was Scorpius Malfoy.

"Oh, yes. I didn't mean to bump into you. I wasn't paying attention." I said quietly.

"It's quite alright." Scorpius gave me a friendly smile, and after a moment I returned the smile to him. Being this close to him I found him to be very handsome. I hadn't seen him very often over the years so I never really got a chance to look at him.

I then noticed that I still had my hands flat against his robed chest. My cheeks reddened as I quickly dropped my hands to my sides. Scorpious had his hands lightly on my waist from he caught me, but after a moment he dropped them to his sides as well.

He gently cleared his throat. "Were you heading towards the trolley? I can walk with you if you'd like."

"Oh, I was heading to the trolley. And you don't have to walk me, now that I am paying attention I think I will be ok." I smiled at him and made to walk towards the trolley.

"Hold on a moment Rose." I jumped slightly when he said my name. I hadn't known that he knew it. "You dropped your money. Here you are." He dropped the coins into my open palm then waved. "See you at the castle."

I didn't have any words so I smiled him as he turned to leave me in the aisle.

Why had I never noticed how handsome Scorpius was? My heart was still pittering from the small amount of contact we had just had. And what's more, he knew exactly who I was.
