This follows the sad epilogue done by J.K.
I - among many I'm sure - did not care too much for the vague epilogue Rowling gave the world and I thought I would start where she left off.
****If you recognize it then you know its Rowling's****
I do not wish to insult any readers by any means but honestly… do you really think J.K Rowling would post a fan fiction? It might help her with ideas but the books are done…. Duh! So I am not J.K. Rowling and I am not making any profit from this story. Just writing for shits and giggles.
And I am apologizing ahead of time. My writing style when just leaving notes is blunt and direct giving off a bitchy attitude. If I am being a bitch you can normally tell and if you can't then I'm not. It's just my writing style.
So now that that is done please enjoy…
Year 2016 aboard the Hogwarts express…
Albus and I walked timidly through the train attempting to find an empty compartment.
Finally at the end of the train, at the last compartment, we found a small blonde boy.
Albus and I looked each other wondering if we should even bother.
We nodded in agreement before opening the compartment door.
I spoke just as the boy looked up.
"Do you mind everywhere else is full…?"
"Not at all." They boy said with a shy smile motioning to the seat across from him.
"My name is Rose and this is Albus." I said gesturing to myself then to Albus with a smile.
"I know. My father speaks of your parents often, Mum hates it but I don't mind… I'm assuming you know who I am?" he asked rather timidly.
"Scorpius? Correct?" I asked.
"Yes. Normally I do not assume, does not end up well but seeing as how intelligent your families are I assumed it was safe to assume." He said with a slightly more confident smile.
Albus who had yet to speak smiled at Scorpius' explanation. He sounded like me when i tried to explain something Al didn't get.
We had fallen into a comfortable discussion after a few minutes when our compartment door slid open.
James was standing there with an incredulous look on his face.
"Hey Al, Rose I was just coming to see if you wanted to sit with me and my friends…oh look… it's Malfoy!" he said with a small sneer at Scorpius whose delicately pale face turned a slight shade of pink as he looked down sadly.
I looked at James as he turned back to me and his confident swagger died immediately.
I stood with a cold glare and James flinched slightly as he backed away slowly.
I smirked as I sat next to Scorpius and placed an arm around him.
"I'm staying. Try and stop me Potter." I knew I hit a soft spot. He hated being called by his last name with a passion.
James gave Albus a sad look before closing the door and slinking away.
"You didn't have to stay…" Scorpius said in a small voice.
I punched him in his arm, hard.
"Don't you dare let that self-absorbed, self-centered, bigheaded, arrogant, narcissistic, conceited, egotistical pain in the ass get to you." I seethed.
I hated when James got his way and did everything in my power to make sure other wise.
Every one of my friends he had to approve of or he would try to make them leave.
"Sorry…" Scorpius said rubbing his arm where I had punched him softly.
"It's okay. And I didn't mean to hurt you." I said hugging him softly before scooting the small way away from him as I reclined against the wall as he leaned against the window and peered out thoughtfully.
Albus looked between us knowingly.
He caught my eye and raised one of his eyebrows smiling.
"You like him… wow… your first crush is a Malfoy. What would dad and Uncle Ron say?"
I glared at him playfully before I blushed a deep shade of crimson.
I didn't respond, verbally or mentally.
We had discovered a long time ago that we could speak with our minds how we didn't know and didn't care. It helped us too much for us to question it.
I mentally sighed as I looked back to Scorpius.
"I know you do…and I'm okay with that. He's a nice bloke."
I looked up and smiled before starting up a conversation about Quidditch and with a small effort Scorpius relaxed again and began telling us all about his broom his father had brought back from Germany on his last visit.
I smiled fondly as he began to use his hands wildly like my father did when he got really excited.
Reminds me of Uncle Ron…"Albus thought.
It was all I could do to avoid busting out laughing.
My phone buzzed in my pocket.
I had a text from James.
~~Sorry Rosie. Please don't b mad me?
~~James
Attached was a picture of him pouting.
I gave into my laughter as I showed Albus the message.
"Suck up." He muttered
"What's that?" Scorpius asked with his hands in mid gesture, noticing we weren't paying attention to his story any more.
"Just a cell phone. Mum got me and Albus one for our congratulations present, instead of a broom. I can't say I can complain since very one but Lily and Hugo have one by now. Although I already had the new Dementor 700 that I got for my 11th birthday just a few months ago…" I said trailing off at the amazed look on his face as he looked at my phone. "Here. You can look at it all you want. I'll show you the basics then you can go ape shit on it…" I said with a smile.
After showing him the buttons and the menus screen I let him have his fun with the phone.
"Crazy…" I thought laughing at him as he touched the touch screen and it buzzed.
He could hear Albus mentally laughing at him as well.
"Shhh… be nice. He's never seen a phone before." I scolded.
"Wait till he hits the music button..." Albus reminded me with a fit of snickers in his mind.
"Shit… oh well… at least we'll have a reason to laugh at him when he flips out…"
Sure enough as soon as he hit the play button he tossed the phone up in the air and I flicked my wand and it stopped before it hit the ground.
Al and I laughed as my favorite song played, You by Breaking Benjamin it was a rather old song but I still loved it.
"I didn't even know you still had that song on there… it's prehistoric!" Albus exclaimed as he grabbed the phone and hit stop.
I glared at him as I grabbed her phone out of is hand and handed it back to Scorpius who looked skeptical but took it any way.
"It is not that old… just a few years…"
"Nearly a whole 10 years Rose… come on now! It's as old as you…"
I glared at him before I turned my attention back to Scorpius as he found my pictures.
"Damn…double damn."
"What?"
"My pictures… quick send a text!"
Chuckling he send me a text and put James' signature on the bottom incase he opened it.
Just as he pressed the button to open the folder the text went through.
~~Please Rosie?
~~James
I took my phone to read the text and smiled as it gave me a chance to run through all the pictures and save them to my memory card before handing it back to him after assuming I got all of them.
I watched as he went straight to the pictures and began looking at them.
I closed my eyes content with what was left on my phone.
Albus broke the silence.
"I think you missed one… look at him."
Curious I looked over his shoulder to find the picture of me and my ex.
"Oops… I thought I got rid of that ages ago… here let me delete it…" I said aloud as I gently took the phone from a shaking Scorpius.
"Look at him!" Albus urged mentally.
When I did I saw his soft light blue eyes turn a dark shade of navy.
"Sorry we broke up a while back…" I said softly as I watched him relax with relief.
"How odd…" I thought
"He likes you! You just might end up with a boyfriend this year after all… that meets your standards of course." He added after I sent him a glare.
"Oh ok…" Scorpius said turning a delicate shade of pink again.
"Sorry I really thought I got rid of it…"
"Was he Muggle or Magic?"
"Uh… Muggle… he broke up with me just a few months ago… we had only been together a few weeks."
"Oh ok…" he said for the umpteenth time since we had been there.
We fell back into a conversation about classes and crazy teachers.
The next time I looked up I saw the school just off in the distance.
"We need to change… you two stay I'll go to the loo." I said as I grabbed my robes and dashed to the bathroom to change.
~~Ur 4given but b nice or Ill hurt u
~~ ~*Rose*~
I sent back to James after I attached a picture of me glaring at him had I had changed.
After I got back to the compartment I noticed Albus and Scorpius abruptly stopped talking.
"What'd I miss?"
"Nothing!" they said in unison.
I gave them an odd look before turning to Albus to read his thoughts.
But he was singing Doo Wah Ditty, ditty dum ditty doo.
I rolled my eyes knowing I would get it out of him soon or later.
She felt the train slow to a stop and she smiled as she grabbed the two of them and went to find Hagrid.
Sure enough I heard him calling to the sea of black for first years to follow him.
Arm in arm we walked to the nearest empty boat and climbed in.
We sat in aw as we neared the magnificent castle.
We made our way with the rest of the first years into the foyer and waited in the mass of black for Professor McGonagall.
After five minutes of nervous shuffling and hand wringing the strict teacher, one of mine and Albus' godmothers, came to lead them into the hall.
We walked between the Ravenclaw table and the Gryffindor table up to the high table.
I saw that most of the Gryffindor table was full of red heads. I laughed and nudged Albus and he joined in.
McGonagall reached for a scroll and read off the first person.
The sorting ceremony had begun.
Malfoy was placed in Slytherin, so was Albus.
Afraid I might be stuck away from my new friend and favorite cousin I walked up to the stool confidently.
"Another Weasley! Merlin your lot sure seems to multiply… I haven't had more than two years in a row of peace with out one of you… but… My dear… what traits you hold. Bravery, cunning, intelligence, humbleness, and nobility and much, much, more… but where to put you?"
"Slytherin?" I asked hopefully.
"Are you sure my dear? You are a conundrum to me… I have never had one student so equally qualified for each house, a tie maybe but never all four…"
"Please… just put me in Slytherin…"
"Alright if you are sure?"
"Yes!"
"Slytherin!" the hat called.
The hall grew eerily quite as I bound my way to sit between a beaming Albus and Scorpius.
My family stared at me from the Gryffindor table and smiled back.
"What the HELL? I demand a re-sort!" James shouted.
"Sit down, Mr. Potter. And she cannot be re-sorted. Neither can our young Mr. Potter. Let the feast begin."
I was where I was supposed to be.
"This year will be interesting…" I thought.
"Very much so…imagine… a Potter and a Weasley in Slytherin… what will our dads say?"
"I don't really care I am where I want to be."
"As am I"
We smiled at each other before digging into their food and carrying a conversation with Scorpius.
After the food disappeared McGonagall stood and gave the start of term speech.
Albus and I had heard it many times over the years of Weasley kids being scolded or warned so we tuned it out.
Soon the school was standing and walking to their respective dormitories.
I smiled as the boys linked arms with me with out my initiating the contact this time.
Beaming I walked with them down to the common room letting go of them reluctantly as I went down to the girls dormitory.
Everything was green, silver and black. So horrible, droll and depressing.
I loved it.
There were only three other girls in my year and they stopped talking as soon as I walked in.
"Hello. My name is Ivy. This is Janice and Ruby." The pale red head announced.
"Rose Weasley. Nice to meet you." I said as I sat on my micro plush green comforter.
"So you're related to the Blood traitors?" Janice asked, more like demanded.
"If that is what you call them then yes. But I do not think the same as then so before you attach a label on me, get to know me. If you still don't like me then you can call me what ever you want but I will not be labeled based on my family." I said in such a calm voice the three girls flinched.
"Now how about we try again. My name is Rose Weasley nice to meet you." In the same calm voice.
"Ivy Zabini." The red head said
"Janice Nott." The brunette haired said
"Ruby Goyle." The blonde said.
"Now that wasn't so hard now was it?" I smirked as they turned back to Ivy's bed.
"Al save me I'm with a Zabini, a Nott, and a Goyle! Bring Scorp!"
"Scorp? You nick named him? Hmmm… fine… we'll be there in a sec…"
"First door on the left!"
"Gotcha!"
I unpacked a book and sat down to read and wait on my boys.
Just as I finished the second page there was a knock on the door.
I jumped up before the girls could even look up.
"Hi!" I exclaimed hugging Albus and Scorpius at the same time.
"Thank you!" she screamed in her head making Albus wince.
"Sorry." I said aloud.
"So this is the girl's room huh?" Albus said breaking the tension.
"Yes it is. I'm Ivy this is Janice and Ruby." The red head said in a flirty voice as she snaked her way to Scorpius.
"How was your summer Scorpy?" she asked as she reached him.
"You've got competition Rosie…"
"We'll see about that…"
"Better than usual… you weren't around." He said so coldly Rose almost felt sorry for the poor girl… almost.
"See… no comps… ha! Never upset a redhead it may just be the last thing you ever do!" I thought adding a smirk to Albus who rolled his eyes.
"She's a red head too."
"Oh come on Scorpy… I missed you… I really did…" she pouted, batting her thick tar covered eye lashes, it did not suite her in the least bit.
"Iv don't bother. I have already told you that I do not like you. You have sadly inherited your mother's bad looks and you have even worse seducing skills. Besides, I'm with… Rose."
"What the hell?!" Albus and I screamed in our minds at the same time.
"Really, does your dad know? Maybe I should tell him…" she said going to her bed side table and pulling out a stationary kit.
"He already knows Ivy. So don't bother." He replied in a cool bored voice.
Ivy looked thoroughly put out.
"Fine." She said motioning for the girls to follow her.
Once they were gone Scorpius turned to me.
"Sorry. I've never been able to stand Poison Ivy. Our dads were best friends and our mums cant stand each other, now I have to write dad and explain that I told her I was dating you she would leave me alone."
I smiled as Albus began laughing in his head but kept a small smile on his face.
"You really think just telling her will change everything? No, didn't think so. Write your dad and tell him that until Poison Ivy finds a new fixation you will be hanging out with me to let her assume we are dating, maybe a few public displays of affections and many choice words later she might leave you alone."
"Rose… how long have you been planning this?"
"Since I found out she was a Zabini…" I glanced at him with a small smirk.
"Okay. Well I will see you in the morning Rose. I have to write my dad. Albus I'll see you back in our room when I get back from the Owlery." Scorpius kissed my hand and nodded to Albus before walking away.
When we heard the common room portrait shut Albus let out a snort and began laughing.
"That was priceless…"
"He kissed my hand… and here I thought chivalry and gallantry was dead." I said in a small amazement.
"Hey!" Albus countered sounding hurt.
"Not you…" I said rolling my eyes
"Well I need to text dad and tell him I'm in Slytherin with you, and that you want to tell your parents."
"I guess I should text mum so she can let dad down easy…" I said with a laugh.
"Yea… well night Rosie, and keep your mind open you know how long it takes to go to sleep"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Night Al."
Once I was alone in the room I changed into my satin silver P.J.'s and hopped into my bed.
Once I was comfortable I grabbed my cell and sent my mom a quick text saying I was in Slytherin with Albus and a Malfoy and that I was fine and not worry and to let my dad know very carefully.
"I sent the text… is Scorp back yet?"
"Yea…"
"Well… spill Albus!"
"Um… well he told his father that he was dating you…"
"So he said he was going to…"
"He didn't add in the part about Ivy…"
"What?!"
"Ow… you know that hurts like shit."
"Sorry."
"No your not."
"What ever. What else did he say?"
"Nothing"
"Albus Severus Potter!"
"I'm not telling. I promised him I wouldn't…"
I looked at my phone as it played a soft tune, my mother's favorite song and ring tone.
I am proud of you Rose. Your father did not take the news too well, but I told him you were with Al and he kinda relaxed. I'll keep you updated on my git if you keep me updated on yours ;-P
I smiled at my mom's goofiness and replied back.
Will do mum. I love you. Night.
"Well that's done with…"
"Hmm? Sorry he was rambling about something and I was so tuned out I didn't hear you…"
"AL! Don't be a git… and Mum told dad…"
"And?"
"He's not too thrilled…I'm almost expecting a howler in the near future…"
"Oh Rose…"
"Oh come on its Ron! You know him as well as I do"
"True."
"So…"
"So… I found out what he's rambling about."
"What?" Rose asked fighting a yawn as the girls came back into the room and she shut her curtains.
"You…"
"Really now?"
"Yes." the girls began talking excitedly.
"Damn slags…"
"Me and Scorpius?"
"Now the slags I have to room with."
"Oh ok. He likes you Rose."
"Hmm… did you tell him I liked him?"
"Nope." He thought with a small pop on the p.
"Al! You did!"
"No I didn't but I will if you like…"
"No! Not just yet…"
"Rose… if you don't tell him by tomorrow night I will and that is a promise…he's going to sleep"
"Hmm… I wonder what he sleeps in…"
"Do you really wish to know?"
"That was privet thought!"
"So you were in the middle of a conversation when you said it… do you wanna know?"
"Duh…"
"Want a mental image?"
"You figured out how to do that?"
"I know how but I want to test it."
"Okay."
I closed my eyes and waited.
I saw a clear image of the boy's room.
I actually felt as if I was lying in Al's bed instead of in my own.
I looked at Scorpius; he was wearing a pair of deep silver boxers and no shirt and just as I began to really look at it the image began to fade.
"Did you get it?" Albus asked.
"Yes but you didn't leave it long enough."
"Sorry." Al said through a yawn.
"I'm going to sleep Al I'll see you in the morning."
"Ok nite Rose."
"Nite Al."
~*~
The next morning I woke to snores.
They were in my head and in my room.
Laughing I picked up my towel, change of clothes, and wand.
I flicked her wand at my belongings to make anyone who tried to touch my things get covered in boils in very inappropriate places. I looked at my watch before going to the showers; seeing it was 5:30 I smiled sheepishly I began humming my favorite song that was playing on my iwiz, popping the ear buds into my ears I skipped down to the showers and ducking under the blast of hot water I smiled as I began screaming the song in my head.
"Bloody hell Rose!"
"Oh sorry…" I said in a sickly sweet voice.
"Yeah right! You always to this in the mornings."
"Then you should be used to it."
"Oi, I'll never get used to it Rose. No one else is up this early"
"Oh stop pouting. At least you will end up with a hot shower"
"Harrumph"
I laughed as I climbed out of the shower and wrapped my towel around me.
I brushed my hair straight and then put it up in a mid-high ponytail before attaching my hair clip and twirling the strands around my wand like my mom had showed me.
Coming from parents with completely opposite hair I thought my hair was my best asset, other than my eyes. I had ended up with my father's bright blue eyes and a mixture of their hair colors, ending up with a bright auburn color.
Pulling on my robes I began to hum again as the song changed.
"Rose! Please!"
Smiling I applied my favorite chapstick and a thin line of eyeliner to make my eyes gently pop.
I skipped back to my room and found the other girls just beginning to wake up it was now 6:30.
"Is he awake yet?"
"Almost, he just sat up."
"I'm coming up…"
"Alright." Albus said through a yawn.
I smiled as I approached the first year's boy's room.
"I'm here."
"Then come on in… he took a shower last night so he's already dressed…"
"Ok."
I knocked a small tattoo on the door before hearing Albus snicker at me.
The door opened to reveal Albus matching her height,
"Good morning Albus!" I cheered in a very odd voice.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah Rose. Come on in…" Albus said motioning for me to get in.
I knew what the room looked like but I was still amazed at the elegant simplicity of it.
"Your mind picture's suck. This is much better than what you sent me…"
"Hahaha."
"Oh hello Rose. Sleep well?" Scorpius asked smiling slightly from where he was reclining on his bed reading.
"Oh yes thank you."
"Oh… yes… thank you! Oh Scorp! Oh… ah!" Albus mimicked me in his head.
I turned to glare at Albus who was tying his shoes.
"Well we better head up to breakfast before it's gone." I said as I walked over to Albus and smacked the back of his head.
"Damn it Rose! That shit hurts!"
"Then do not mock me!"
"Yeah." The boys said at the same time.
The walk to the Great Hall was held in comfortable silence
The boys opened the doors and relinked arms with me before heading to the Slytherin table.
Upon their entrance the hall was engulfed in silence and I momentarily wondered if someone cast a silencing charm over the hall but as soon as my butt touched the bench whispers exploded from the other three tables.
James walked over and stood in front of the trio.
"Hey can I sit with you guys this morning?" I smirked as I saw head nods from either side of me. "Rosie?" he asked noticing I didn't nod.
"Sit you dunderhead, before someone hex's you." I said pulling my wand out of my pocket.
James sat with a smile.
The boy's laughed at him before talking about Quidditch.
"Did you know that they are allowing first years to try out of Quidditch this year?" James stated.
"Really?" all three asked.
"Yeah. They are announcing it this morning."
As soon as the words left his mouth McGonagall stood to address the school.
"There is a rumor going around that first years will be allowed to try out and play Quidditch this year. The staff has thought this through and we have sadly come to a compromise. Seeing as how seventh years have a rather heavy load they will be exempt from Quidditch…" the hall erupted in shouts from seventh years. "Silence. Now as I was saying… seventh years have too much of a load that the staff feels that Quidditch has hindered your learning process in the past. We apologize for this but I had to be done. We will see how well grades improve this year and if they remain the same we will re-open Quidditch for seventh years next year. No exceptions other than the captains."
The hall was once again in stunned silence.
Slowly people began to revive themselves from their stupor.
"Well that just makes this year even more interesting… a Potter and a Weasley in Slytherin and first years on the Quidditch teams… odd… but I need to get to potions…esh… I'll see you at lunch." James said grabbing one last piece of toast before darting away from the Slytherin table.
"I guess we should head to Transfiguration." Albus said standing up.
"Teddy is teaching this year isn't he?" I asked.
"Who's Teddy?" Scorpius asked as we walked up a staircase.
"A family friend… now that I think of it… you are more related to him then either of us. One of your grandmother's sister's daughter's sons. I forget her name…" I trailed off as we entered the classroom to see a purple and pink haired boy.
"Morning Teddy!" I beamed as we sat in the front row of desks.
The pink and purple haired boy turned around to greet me but stopped short when he saw my robes and the blond boy who was arm linked to me.
"Good Morning, Mrs. Weasley, I was unaware you were in Slytherin. And Mr. Potter as well… hmm… and you look awfully familiar…"
"Ted this is Scorpius Malfoy. He should be some distant cousin or something of yours." I informed him.
"Ah! Yes. Draco's son. How is Uncle Draco? I haven't seen him in ages…not since him and dad… Harry- sorry… had that row about a year before you were born Rose." He said thoughtfully.
"He's not too bad. A bit yumpy some days but other than that he's fine. Although I now know why I don't actually know you…" Scorpius trailed off as if he just remembered something. "Tonks! She was your mum wasn't she?"
Teddy nodded.
"Your Aunt Andromeda's charge aren't you?" Scorpius said suddenly.
"Yep." Teddy said with a simple as he walked to his desk when the rest of the class made their way in. this was really going to be interesting.
At the end of class I bust out laughing when I saw my phone.
"What?"
"Oh nothing… I'm the type of girl who will burst out laughing in dead silence for something that happened yesterday." I said simply as we headed to the Quidditch pitch where we were having our flying lesson/ tryouts.
All three of us had made it.
I was keeper.
Scorpius was seeker.
Albus was a beater.
"If your gonna ride my ass at least pull my hair." I said after five minutes of him following me around after practice.
He laughed as we landed.
"Such a bad mouth…" he muttered with a cooked grin that made my knees melt.
"I may have a bad mouth but I can do great things with it…" I said seductively to Scorpius whose eyes turned a deep shade of blue at this. "Al said you didn't tell your dad that we were only doing this to make Ivy leave you alone…" I whispered.
"Is that the only reason you want to do this?" he asked in a husky voice, I couldn't speak, so I simply shook my head.
That was all the encouragement he needed.
He tilted his head and lowered his lips to mine.
