Hello wonderful readers! This is my first Next Generation fic, so I hope you enjoy it! - Primrose
Scorpius searched the Hogwarts corridors for Albus Potter, his best mate.
"So who are you taking to the Yule Ball?" Albus asked.
"No one yet, you?" Scorpius questioned.
"Katia Lightfallow, you could take Rose," Albus said, smirking.
Scorpius blushed the color of his favorite Weasley's hair.
"Come on Potter, we need to get to class," Scorpius muttered.
They walked to their next class, which was Herbology.
" Who can tell what you do when repotting Mandrakes?" Professor Longbottom asked. A Ravenclaw raised their hand.
" You must wear ear earmuffs because there cry is fatal to anyone who hears it," she said.
" Good, now what are characteristics of the Fanged Geraniums?" He asked.
This time Scorpius answered
" A pretty flowering plant, with fangs that bite if not taking care of,".
" Sounds like you," Albus whispered to him, earning him a kick in the shin.
" Hey," he chuckled, " I'm kidding,".
Scorpius and Albus started making the diagram drawing of the Mandrake.
"Hey Rose, can you help us?" Albus said, winking at Scorpius.
Rose came over and looked at their diagrams.
" You just need to change the way you drew it," she said bringing over her diagram.
Scorpius looked at hers compared to his. Her mandrake was drawn with green leaves and brown roots and resembled a humanish plant. His, on the other hand looked like a brown paper bag.
" Here let me show you," Rose said taking his hand and tracing her drawing. Her fingers were warm on his skin and he felt a tingle on his neck. Her breath slowed and they fell into movement drawing together, not even realizing that Albus had conveniently left. They were interrupted by Professor Longbottom dismissing their class.
" So, um thanks for the help," Scorpius mumbled.
" No problem, I'm glad I could help," Rose said.
" See you at Quidditch sometime?" She asked.
" Sure," he replied.
Scorpius was not sure why he was at a Quidditch game. It wasn't that he didn't like it, he simply never had anyone to go with. or a reason to go. Albus had spontaneously asked Scorpius to go with him and his "friend" Katia Lightfallow.
" Come on Gryffindors!" the crowd cheered.
" Weasley is our Queen! Weasley is our Queen!" the crowd yelled as Rose blocked the opposing teams chasers from scoring in the Gryffindor hoops. Gryffindor ended up beating Ravenclaw, and everyone was cheering. Scorpius saw Rose walking to the lake and ran to catch up with her.
" Weasley! You did a great job out there," Scorpius squealed.
Y" Oh thanks Malfoy, I'm glad you came" she replied, giving him a sweet smile.
He smiled back, noticing the glint of gold in her hair. "She's so pretty," he thought.
" What did you say?" Rose asked.
Scorpius realized he had said that out loud and blushed.
" Oh um, the sunset is pretty, uh I have to go. Bye!" He added, rambling. Scorpius blushed, waved and quickly hurried back to his common room, leaving Rose standing confused.
" Bye?" She whispered.
