Not much to say about this - just an old drabble that I found rotting away; thought I might as well brush the dust off and post it. (I have so much fun with the next generation; honestly, I think I enjoy them more than the book generation - is that bad?)


Rose Weasley, with her intense love of libraries and unfortunate habit of forgetting about life whenever books were present, was as every bit as Ravenclaw-like as a person could be. Except perhaps Scorpius Malfoy, which was rather odd considering that his name was indeed Malfoy. (You know, son of a death eater, pureblood, destined to be evil and all that rot.)

But blue suited him better than green, Rose always thought. It brought out his eyes, made the gray-blue in them sparkle and shine in a way no shade of green could ever do. (She told him this once, let it slip past her lips on accident. He only laughed, said, "Whatever you say, Rose; I suppose you'll say Albus is a Slytherin because the green matches his eyes?" And she always liked that about him, the laughing and ignoring embarrassing slip-ups things - it helped keep them close, considering all the things she said without thinking.)

Blue suits Rose just as well; better, according to Scorpius. ("Matches your eyes," he laughs with a wink, and he's not just jokingly mimicking her because it really does; she has her father's eyes - along with his hair, his freckles, and his habit of speaking without thinking. Even Ravenclaw couldn't cure her of that.)

But the matter at hand is this - that Scorpius Malfoy was more Ravenclaw-like than she could hope to be, or perhaps, honestly, just Scorpius Malfoy, period, end of story.

Because her thoughts always do circle back to him, don't they?
