Author's Note: I will continue Come What May, Deny Thy Father and Refuse Thy Name is just a Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley story I thought of starting. Mainly because I reread the epilogue a few days ago and was so tempted by Ron's words, "Granddad Weasley would never forgive you..." It's just so juicy and the whole Romeo and Juliet feeling coming from the couple (hence the title), I just love it... Even though, I absolutely hate the epilogue.
Chapter One: I Don't Want to Be a Badger.
(First Year)
Scorpius walked slowly behind his parents. His father Draco was speaking quietly to his mother Astoria about the Weasley family being here. "Looks like their little girl is going to be in the same year as Scorpius," Draco said with a slight tone of disproval. "Probably as dimwitted as her father. Be sure to beat her in all your classes Scorpius."
Scorpius looked over at the family his father was looking at. There was a nice looking man with short fiery red hair. He looked much younger than Draco had and his bright blue eyes grew hard when he caught the gaze of Scorpius's father. The woman was a head shorter than the man. She had wild light brown hair, a round face, and a bookish appearance. There were two children standing with them. There was a girl, who Scorpius presumed that was who his father was talking about, with wavy flaming red hair, she had warm dark blue eyes, pale skin, and was rather thin. The boy appeared a few years younger than the girl and looked like a miniature version of the man. Scorpius watched in interest as the man said something to the girl.
"Come on Scorpy dear, let's get your trunk onto the train," Astoria said sweetly to her son.
Scorpius cringed. "Mum," he protested. "I can do it myself."
He watched as his mother's eyes filled with tears. "Our little boy is all grown up," she exclaimed to Draco proudly as she wrapped her arms around her son.
Draco rolled his eyes at his wife's behavior. "Astoria," he said. "He's well capable of doing things for himself."
Astoria let go of her son and nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Now don't get into trouble, get good grades, and make some friends," she told him smiling.
"Sure mum," Scorpius said in a monotone voice.
"Get on the train. It's about to leave," Draco said in the same tone as Scorpius.
"We'll see you at Christmas," Astoria said kissing Scorpius on the cheek.
"I doubt he'll come home for Christmas Astoria."
She nodded, tears filling her eyes again. Scorpius rolled his eyes and climbed onto the train. He looked behind him to see that his parents had left already, but the Weasley family and the Potter family was still there. They were waving goodbye to their children and talking to each other, wide smiles on their faces. Scorpius longed for the warmth that those families had. All he had was the cold hand shakes with his father and grandfather and the uncomfortable embraces of his mother and grandmother.
He let out a heavy sigh and made his way to the first empty compartment he noticed. He lugged his trunk into the luggage rack above him and took a seat. He sat for a while, playing with his ebony wand. He tried muttering a few simple spells under his breath, but nothing really worked. He frowned and pocketed his wand. He than turned to gaze out of the window.
"Excuse me?"
Scorpius turned his head to see the ginger haired girl standing there in the compartment's doorway. She was shorter than him by a few good inches and was already dressed in her Hogwarts robes. "Can I sit here," she asked shyly.
"Sure," he said simply.
"Thanks," she said smiling. "I'm Rose Anne Weasley. And you are?"
Rose held out her hand and Scorpius shook it hesitantly. "Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy."
"Nice to meet you Scorpius. Are you going to be a first year as well," she asked curiously as she moved her luggage into the luggage rack above her.
"Perky little thing isn't she," he thought smiling. "Yes. What house do you think you'll get in?"
Rose took a seat across from him and bit her lip. "Mum thinks I might get into Ravenclaw because of my brains. Dad said he'd disinherit me if I don't get into Gryffindor. What with every Weasley being a Gryffindor so far, I wouldn't want to break the chain." She laughed, but it was without any humor. "My family wouldn't exactly love it if I got into Slytherin. As for Hufflepuff, well I don't exactly want to be a badger. You?"
She gave Scorpius a small smile that he returned. "My family has a history of being sorted into Slytherin so there is a good chance I'll get in there." He frowned. "Ravenclaw wouldn't be so bad, but I don't exactly consider myself that smart."
"I think you are," she said interrupting him.
Scorpius laughed. "You don't even know me that well."
"True, but from what I've seen and heard I can tell you're very bright."
He was surprised by this. No one ever said he was smart or bright. His grandmother said he was brilliant a couple of times, but he just assumed that she only said that because that was what she felt was right to say. Scorpius gave Rose a warm smile. "Thank you."
"Your welcome and you were saying."
"Oh right, well my family has this deep hatred for Gryffindor and my father would probably kill me if I'm sorted into Gryffindor." He frowned. "Also, I'd rather not be a badger too."
The two of them grinned and shared a laugh.

Scorpius stood in line with his fellow first years. He watched anxiously as a round face wizard brought a three-legged stool and a tattered old hat forward. He set them on the ground and began to call forward the students. "Anello, Oliver," he called out.
The hat was than placed on a the boy's head. "RAVENCLAW," the hat exclaimed. Cheers than erupted from the Ravenclaw table. Scorpius felt his heart pounding as the rest of the students were sorted. After Jacob Lockwood was sorted to Hufflepuff, the man called out, "Malfoy, Scorpius."
Scorpius walked up and hesitantly took a seat on the stool where the hat was placed on his head. "Hmm another Malfoy I see. Quite different from your mother and father. Very brave I may add. Kind and witty too. All in all I'd say you're perfect for RAVENCLAW!"
Shocked, Scorpius made his way off the stool and towards his cheering classmates. He watched and waited to see which house Rose would be placed in. A black haired by by the name of Albus Severus Potter was sorted into Hufflepuff, a curly haired blonde girl named Marianne Taite was sorted to Ravenclaw, and rather smug looking boy with chocolate brown hair named Cornell Utsey was sorted to Slytherin. Finally the man called out, "Weasley, Rose."
Scorpius held his breath and watched as Rose made her way to the stool. The hat seemed to be taking a while to decide which house was best for her before settling on Ravenclaw. He smiled as applauded as Rose made her way to the Ravenclaw table, beaming.
"I see you broke your family's chain," she said taking a seat by Scorpius.
"Yeah." Scorpius grinned. "I see you did too."
"I told you that you were smart enough to get into Ravenclaw. Didn't I," Rose asked him grinning.
"Yes you did. I never doubted you for a second. I knew that you would make Ravenclaw."
Rose beamed at him. "You didn't?"
"Nope, I can tell you're very smart."
Rose flushed red with pleasure. "Thank you," she murmured. "But we'll see which one of us is smarter when classes start tomorrow."
Scorpius thought back to his father's word to him. "Probably as dimwitted as her father. Be sure to bet her in all your classes Scorpius." Scorpius chuckled and turned to Rose. "That we will."
Author's Note: I will continue this story as well as Come What May. Hopefully the second chapter for this will be out soon. Also every odd chapter will be Scorpius's point of view, while every even chapter will be Rose's. The story will pick up in the chapters to come. Comments on the story would be lovely.
