I remember the first day I meet you; we were on the train heading to Hogwarts. For the first time in our lives, we finally didn't have to listen to what our parents told us to do we got to make our own decisions if we wanted to that is. Just thinking about it throws me back to that fateful day. I never thought I'd look back on that day and wish I wouldn't have listened to my father, instead I wish I would have sat with you and told you how gorgeous I thought you silver-grey eyes were or I should have asked you what you were looking forward to learning in the years to come. Maybe then you wouldn't have been so alone maybe we could have been friends. Maybe you wouldn't have been so isolated from your own house or classmates in general. It wasn't fair to you what I did or what I didn't do I should say.

Do you remember the day Even Jordan; that idiotic third year called you a waste of valuable time and space when we were just first years. Because I do, I remember how calm you were when he said those horrendous things to you. And how you didn't even fight back, you didn't say anything. The way you look at him was like you believed him. If I were you I would I never have been so calm. You shouldn't have been so calm, you shouldn't have been used to things like that; you were only eleven years old. I know should have defended you instead of hiding out behind the classroom corridor but I was scared. A Weasley defending a Malfoy now that was unheard of when we where kids. In addition, I didn't think you need to be defended somewhere in the back of my mind I believed it too. I believed your family could never be anything but evil.

But now that I think about it I was extremely wrong and I'm ashamed of myself for even thinking like that. I wish I would have told you how brave you were and how you had a heart of a Gryffindor even though you were a Slytherin. Just because you where a Slytherin didn't make you evil, being a Malfoy didn't make you evil you were anything but that. You were just a kid. I will never begin to understand how you managed to seemingly cope with all that unnecessary hate. I'm sure I didn't make it any easier for you at first I'll admit. I'm no better I judged you for so long. and look where that got us.

I still can recall the day when we were forced to be partners during our second year. All because no one else would be potion partners with you. I was in a blind rage I saw everything as a way to compete with you. And when I thought I lost that opportunity to one-up you. I was nothing but hateful to you. I shouldn't have been that way. You never deserved that and now I realize I never said I was sorry for being such a jerk. I had always thought you were a no good Malfoy, that would always cheat his way through the system. I know now that's, not the type of person you are. I'm sorry for being like everyone else.

I'm sorry for not warning you about the prank James and Hugo pulled on you during our third when I had heard them planning to prank you. It's my fault you got hurt because I wasn't paying close enough attention to them. But I have to say the scar on your arm make you look tough not that, that's any excuses for what they did. I honestly think that was when I started to realize that just because you were a Malfoy didn't mean that you deserve to be treated like one. I hate myself for rationalizing that unless you came to me I wouldn't come to you because I didn't want to seem desperate... No, I didn't want to be seen defending you because everyone thought you where exactly like your father and grandfather. Looking back on it now that I wish I wouldn't have I wish I didn't care about what everyone else though. I would have told you so many things.

Like for example in our fourth year, your mother became very ill. I noticed how you stopped going to liberty as often and how you would distance yourself even more from everyone else. I should have told you that you weren't alone. I had opportunities during our perfect scans but I never found the right words to say. I just knew you needed someone and I was barely there for you. The only thing I could do was listen to you. Hearing everything you had gone through has been one of most memorable memories I have ever had. For the first time in my life, I didn't see you as a Malfoy or some kid that was constantly being bullied or my rival, you were just Scorpius the most kindhearted selfless person I had ever meet. And realizing that changed everything. I made more "excuses" to defend you. But when you needed me most I sided with my family because I didn't want them to hate me. I was wrong for thinking like that. I should have had you back because you always had mine and I didn't even realize it I didn't deserve it.

Even after our first real fight in our fifth year you still managed to defend me. Especially when Abigail brown said the only reason I was favored by most of our teachers was because of my parents. It was actually the first time I ever heard you raise your voice at someone other than me and I could make you yell like there was no tomorrow back then. But when I told you I didn't need to be defended, you told me even though you were mad at me. " You are your own person and just because someone is jealous of your achievements doesn't mean that they should bring you down you are not your parents. Just because you were born into the family doesn't mean you are like them. You have accomplished your own goals and you have your own dreams and that's what makes you different. That's what makes you unique and special and that's why they like you. " I wish I would have told you that those words rained true for you as well.

Our sixth year was the worst for us. It was when we fought the most. I don't know if it was because everyone finally dropped the family card or if it was because you finally started to have other girls chase after you. I didn't understand at first why I would get so mad. Even when I saw you with Lilly after knowing you where just tutoring her. I was jealous because I always knew that you here different but I think ...no I know that I should have been there for you before you "finally got cute" as everyone liked to say. I realize that it took me to long to realize how I felt. The second I finally had the courage to admit to myself I was already too late. It was okay though because you finally seemed happy. You sounded happy and your beautiful gray eyes glowed like never before I just wish it was me that made you that happy.

And as our seventh and final year has just begun and I' just sitting here watching you are your girlfriend Baily Tomas snog each other. And with each passing moment of this dreaded ride to Hogwarts, I'm wanting to go to the perfect corridor. So I can breathe and calm myself because watching you kiss some other girl makes me feel empty and wrong. But it feels like this is all payback for never telling you the truth and wanting you to be happy. Here is to hoping this year goes by quickly.

Yours truly

Rose Weasley
