Here's a new story, this one I have properly hand-written and have been obsessively writing the past 2 days as I have been fairly sick, and I have completely fallen in love with it. I hope you think it's a good one :)
The Time Turner
"Oi! Scorpius! Scorp! Wake up you lazy bugger!" Rose shook Scorpius hard, his eyes opened with a snap as he jumped up in panic.
"What the hell was that for, Weasley?" he shouted; people around the common room began to look over at the two, who were glaring at each other.
"We are supposed to be doing our homework, before the holidays begin, or did you forget about that, Malfoy?" she said, her glare icy. Scorpius groaned loudly.
"But it's bloody boring! And you calling out random stupid facts that no one cares about, every 2 minutes is highly annoying, can't you just do mine for me?" he said flopping back down onto the chair.
"Boring? Annoying?" Rose screamed, her voice becoming higher as she advanced on Scorpius.
"Guys, people are looking, can you just shut up?" hissed Albus, towards his best friends. Rose sighed and looked towards he favourite cousin.
"For you Al, I'll stop, and even though I hate to admit it, Scorp is sort of right, History of Magic is completely dull"
"How did that taste coming out of your mouth Rose?" said Scorpius, a grin spreading across his face.
"Shut up" hissed Rose, glaring at Scorpius. They three worked in silence for several minutes, until Rose looked up, her eyes sparkling and a mischievous grin spreading across her face.
"I have an idea" she said, looking at her two best friends.
"I don't like that face, I've never liked that face, it always means trouble for all involved, usually me!" said Albus, his expression full of panic. Rose continued smiling at him until Scorpius became impatient.
"For Merlin's sake Rose, are you going to tell us or just sit there and grin like a demented Pixie?" he asked leaning towards her.
"Al, go get the cloak" she said, turning back towards Albus, his expression still full of worry.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Rose, Scorpius and Albus were huddled closely together under the Potter's invisibility cloak, all squatting slightly so their feet could be hidden. They were standing in front of a large empty wall.
"Well? Now what?" Scorpius asked his voice full of curiosity.
"Um, well, I'm not entirely sure, I don't really know if it still works, but it's worth a go right?" she said, talking more to herself than the boys. She ignored the quizzical looks Scorpius and Albus gave each other.
"Um, Rose, what might not work?" Albus asked, he was completely confused by his cousin's actions. Rose looked at him and smiled widely.
"The Room of Requirement" she answered, watching as Albus went from confused to excited, his face lighting up brightly.
"Oi, what's the 'Room of Requirement'?" Scorpius asked, annoyed he that he wasn't apart of this.
"For goodness sake, don't you ever do you're homework, Scorpius?" said Rose, glaring at Scorpius. Scorpius grinned at her before saying;
"You know I don't, Flower" Rose blushed deeply at the use of this name.
"Don't, call, me, Flower!" she hissed, stepping on his foot. He frowned at her.
"Now, all we have to do is walk past the wall three times, and think"
"What do we have to think, Rose?" asked Albus, excitement sparkling in his eyes.
"Um, think, um" Rose stopping, thinking for a moment about what they were looking for, "right, think 'I need a place to hide my cloak'" she said, checking to see if Filch was about before pulling the cloak off them.
"Okay" said Albus, taking the cloak and wrapping it into a ball.
The three of them held hands and shut their eyes before walking past the blank wall three times. Halfway through the third pass, Rose opened an eye slowly to see a large iron door in front of them. She nudged both Albus and Scorpius.
"Look!" she whispered her tone full of excitement. Both boys opened their eyes and a look of pure shock and amazement on their faces.
"It worked" breathed Albus.
"That wasn't there before? Wait, was it?" Scorpius said, still in complete shock.
"No it wasn't you idiot, we made it appear" said Rose.
"How?" he asked, ignoring the idiot comment, his eyes were full of wonder.
"The Room of Requirement, name says it all really, it's also known as 'The come and go room'. Sometimes it's here and sometimes it's not, but when it appears it is always equipped with the seekers needs, in our case, I told you to think of somewhere to hide the cloak, so when we open the door, it should open to the perfect hiding place" she finished feeling triumphant at her knowledge.
"How did you two find out about this room and why didn't you tell me?" asked Scorpius slightly annoyed at his friends for with-holding information from him.
"It was years ago now, before we started Hogwarts, out parents told us about it, it's the room they used in their fifth year, you know, when that Umbridge woman took over the school and wouldn't teach the how to defend themselves. My dad was amazing! He taught people who wanted to learn how to fight everything he knew, they called themselves Dumbledore's Army and this room is the room the used to train in" sais Albus, smiling widely at Scorpius.
"Cool" Scorpius replied smiling back, "Well? Shall we take a look?" he said grinning cheekily at his friends.
"One..." said Rose, placing her hand on the door handle.
"Two…" said Albus, placing his hand over Rose's.
"Three" finished Scorpius, pushing the door open.
The scene before them took their breath away. Objects were piled high, towering over their heads, other objects were cluttering in small piles around the floor. Some objects looked singed whereas other look burnt beyond all recognition.
"Whoa, I wonder what happened in here" said Scorpius, walking into the room. He picked up a charred book off the floor and flipped through it.
"Looks like an old potions text book, right up your street, Flower" he said tossing the book over to Rose.
"Stop calling me that!" she growled, catching the book with ease, thanks to her role as keeper on the Gryffindor Quidditch team for the past two years.
She flicked through the pages, trying to read the instructions through the burnt pages.
"It's a sixth year textbook by the looks of it, it's really old, and someone's written notes all over the instructions. We should get these ourselves next year" she said throwing the book to one side.
"Come on, let's have a look around" said Albus, his eyes twinkling with delight as they walked deeper into the room.
"Oi, come here, I've found some chess pieces" said Albus as he rounded a corner.
"Al, we see chess pieces everyday" replied Scorpius, rolling his eyes at Rose, who had also disappeared round the corner.
"BLOODY HELL!" Scorpius ran round the corner as he heard Rose shout and came face to face, well chest, with 7ft chess piece.
"Now, these, I'd like to play a game with" said Rose, stroking the side of a Knights horse. "Look, they seem to have been played with before, there's a hole in the horse's neck, like it was stabbed" said Rose, gently trailing her hand along the stone wound.
"Bit dangerous though, I mean, they're fucking huge" stated Scorpius examining the King he had almost walked into.
"Maybe that was the intention," said Rose, her eyes gleaming with possibility, "maybe they were to protect something" she said, her eyes continuing to gleam as she walked away from the two boys round another corner.
Scorpius thought Rose looked like a child in a sweet shop, 'very cute', he thought before shaking that thought out of his head, a blush crept onto his face, and he was happy that no one was paying him any attention. He walked down a different corner to the way Rose had gone, stopping when he heard Albus call.
"Hey, don't go wandering off to far guys, we don't know what's in here, it could be dangerous"
Scorpius rolled his eyes before answering, "Alright sweetheart, don't worry your pretty little head, we won't wonder off too far, right Flower?"
"DON'T CALL ME FLOWER! Albus come with me; maybe we can ditch the blonde haired twat"
"I heard that!" called Scorpius running to catch up with the pair.
"You were supposed to and you just had to follow didn't you?" she said, seeing him coming up behind her and Albus.
"You know me" he said flinging his arms around them both.
"Get off, you soppy prick" said Rose, pushing him off, her cheeks flushed.
"Whooo!" exclaimed Albus running ahead of them.
"What?" Rose asked, following him, Scorpius a few paces behind.
"Old broomsticks, look, Cleansweep 7, Nimbus 2001, and oh my Merlin, it's a Firebolt! Dad used to ride one of these! When he played seeker for Gryffindor" said Albus taking the Firebolt into his hands, "this is so cool!"
Whilst the two boys gushed over the Broomsticks, Rose had found a small, singed cabinet which she curiously opened. It was full with different types of necklaces, all crammed into the small box. As she rummaged through she pulled out a long golden chain that seemed to go on forever; when she had finally managed to pull it all out she let out a gasp. The two boys spun round to her.
"What? Are you hurt? What is it?" Scorpius asked, kneeling down beside Rose.
"Rosie? What's that?" asked Albus, kneeling on her other side.
"It, well, I think, I think it's a Time Turner" she whispered. The three were silent for several minutes before Scorpius became impatient.
"And, a Time Turner is?" he asked tapping Rose's shoulder. Rose turned to him, a look in her eyes Scorpius couldn't place.
"Well, Wizards used to use them to go back and forth in time; they were used for small trivial things, never for large events. My mum told me about them years ago, she had one herself, in her third year, so she could take more lessons, she didn't really go into much detail but for some reason she handed it back to Minerva…"
"Professor McGonagall, Rose" interrupted Albus.
"Shhh, she's not here to hear it is she? Anyway, my mum never used it again after her third year and the Ministry stopped making them after their stock was destroyed, mum and dad never really went into detail as to why that happened either, but apparently they can be highly dangerous" she finished, a mischievous gleam in her eyes. Albus really didn't like that look, usually it was followed by a lot of trouble or an excellently cast Bat Bogey Hex.
"Why are looking like that? Rose? ROSE?" Albus said, his eyebrows shooting up to his hairline.
"Like what?" she said smiling at her cousin.
Scorpius just smiled as Rose, he loved that look, it was so, sexy. Wait? What? Scorpius shook his head, he felt like he had been doing that a lot lately when it came to Rose.
"Rose come on, we should get back to the common room, it's getting really late" said Albus pulling Rose and Scorpius up.
"He's right flower, and I still need to pack" said Scorpius, helping Albus pull Rose up. Rose sighed and dropped the Time Turner.
"Alright" she said in defeat and the three of them made their way to the door, pulled on the invisibility cloak and snuck back to the common room, which had emptied in their absence.
