A/N Hey guys! This is something that I started in class-we had to rewrite Romeo and Juliet-and being the potterhead I am, Voila! The characters are probably a bit OOC 'cause I have not read anything about this pairing but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Scorpius and Rose
The Best Marauder

Once upon a time in a wizarding school called Hogwarts there lived a young man named Scorpius who was currently in his 6th year. He was the son of a rich man and was very handsome. For a while now he had been trying to court a young lady by the name of Marcelle, the daughter of Blaze, a man of considerable status, but all his attempts had been pushed aside by the lady. Scorpius' cousin, Adam Dolohov, decided that his attempts to attract Marcelle were embarrassing and degrading and he would just have to get over his feelings. Dolohov came up with a plan.

oOoOo

Dolohov came running out of class chasing after a lovestruck Scorpius who was currently following an annoyed Marcelle.

"Hey! Scorpius! Wait up!" shouted Dolohov.

Scorpius walked a few more hopeful steps before sighing and turning to look at his cousin. "What?" he questioned irritably.

"You know how Marcelle hates you?" Scorpius turned to walk away, "Wait, sorry she doesn't hate you, she just...umm...well, you know, doesn't have feelings for you? Well, anyway, I have a plan. Tonight you and I are going bird watching! We will find someone else who actually wants to go out with you."

Scorpius' reaction was worse than Dolohov expected. "What? No way! My heart belongs to the lovely Marcelle and that shall never change! How do you expect me to love someone else when her eyes burn like stars and her hair swings from side to side making me totally hypnotised? I love Marcelle and I shall be loyal to my love."

"But, Scorpius" returned Dolohov "She hat…err… I mean, shall never love you. You need to find a girl to distract you."

"No," replied Scorpius stubbornly.

"Please. For me?"

"No."

"How about this, we'll just look. You don't actually have to make any promises. I won't even make you talk to any of them you just have to watch. Who knows, you may find a new 'love of your life'."

Scorpius snorted, "Fine I'll come 'bird watching' with you but it's hardly going to change anything."

Dolohov smirked.

oOoOo

The two teenagers slowly made their way down to the Great Hall, half an hour before dinner; the plan was to sit outside the door and watch everyone go inside. Slowly a trickle of people began to arrive and enter the Great Hall and Dolohov would point out different girls hoping to have one catch Scorpius' eye. Each time he did this though Scorpius would reply with a curt remark like 'her nose is too big', 'her arms are really skinny', 'she has funny lips' and slowly the excuses were getting sillier and Scorpius was getting more impatient.

About one minute before the plates were due to magically be filled a great rush of people came down for their dinner, leading to Dolohov and Scorpius not being able to watch for 'birds' properly. Dolohov reluctantly decided that maybe he should just give Scorpius' love life up and label it as a hopeless case.

"Come on," He sighed, "Let's go get something to eat."

Scorpius grinned, stood up and turned to help his cousin. "Brilliant!"

"Oh, don't sound so pleased."

Together they walked towards the door and pushed their way in knocking over a young, red headed girl but not bothering to stop and ask if she was oaky. That is until she turned and glared at them.

"What the hell was that for?" she shouted.

Scorpius stared, mouth open.

Dolohov glanced at her and drawled, "Well, you see, we didn't mean to push you over, only t-" He stopped suddenly when Scorpius elbowed him hard in the side.

"Shut up." He hissed, "Let's not piss her off."

"Why not? She's probably just a filthy, little mudblood anyway."

Scorpius gave him a look that said 'Isn't that obvious?' but the way his friends face stayed blank forced him to whisper, "Look at her, she's beautiful. I'm going to talk to her."

Dolohov's mouth dropped open and he stared at Scorpius in shock. They had just sat outside for half an hour, getting stiff muscles, only to find that they could have just arrived late for dinner and had the same result.

Scorpius turned and smiled at the glaring girl in front of him. "I'm sorry for that," he said, "We were not watching where we were going. Would you like some help getting up?"

The girl stared, "Come again?"

Scorpius still smiling and sticking out his hand said pleasantly, "Would you like some help getting up?"

The girl stared at Scorpius silently for what seemed like a few minutes before slowly reaching up and grabbing Scorpius' hand, pulling herself up and dropping his hand quickly. "Thank you."

Scorpius' grin only got wider. "I'm Scorpius by the way."

"Err…Rose." She replied uncertainly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. What year are you in? I haven't seen you around before and surely I would have noticed a beautiful lady such as yourself."

Rose raised an eyebrow but said anyway, "I'm in 5th year. And I should probably be going over to my table. I don't want to miss out on dinner."

Scorpius face fell at what he considered a brush off. "Oh…right." He mumbled. "We can talk again another time maybe?"

"Err…sure," replied a slightly confused Rose. "Of course, I'll see you later then."

"Bye Rose." Grinned an again cheerful Scorpius.

Slowly Rose turned and walked away, leaving a poor, love-struck Slytherin standing with his stunned cousin. Dolohov snapped out of his shock and quickly grabbed Scorpius' arm dragging him over to the first empty seats he could find at the Slytherin table.

"What the hell was that all about? She's a Gryffindor!" Dolohov furiously whispered.

"Wow."

"Scorpius!"

"Her beauty is incomparable! She's like a swan graceful and elegant, an eagle full of pride and strength and her eyes-they are like brown gems sparkling in the light of a full moon. How I could go on about her luscious hair, her curtain of glimmering locks, swishing slowly as-"

"Scorpius! She's a Gryffindor!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well the way you are going on about her, it would seem like you fancy her."

"I do."

Dolohov stared, "Pardon?"

"I fancy her." Scorpius replied.

Dolohov stared at Scorpius like he was crazy, "You're joking, right?"

"Why would I do that?" said a slightly confused Scorpius.

"She's a Gryffindor, you cannot possibly fancy her! Anyway what would your father say?"

"I don't know and to be honest, I don't care. I'm going to go talk to her." He said abruptly.

"You can't do that!"

"Why ever not?"

"What would everyone think? This is worse than you pining over Marcelle!"

"Everyone would be jealous because I would be talking to the most beautiful girl in the school." Scorpius answered the question, choosing to ignore the last statement.

"No everyone would think your fraternizing! With a Gryffindor, no less!"

Scorpius shrugged and stood up to have his cousin grab his arm. "I don't care what people think, I will talk to the love of my life even if it causes the death of me." At that Scorpius pulled his arm out of Dolohov's grip and walked to the opposite side of the Great Hall, scanning the table to try and find Rose's beautiful red hair. Scorpius spotted her and walked down the aisle between the wall and bench, slipping into the spare seat next to her.

"Scorpius? What are you doing here?"

"I thought I would come eat dinner with the most beautiful girl in the school?"

"Umm…why do you keep calling me that?" said an bemused Rose.

Scorpius shrugged, "'Cause it's true."

Rose again looked confused but replied anyway, "Okay, sure?" She then continued to eat her dinner.

Scorpius looked at her closely and then looked down at his plate and decided maybe having dinner was a good idea; after all his stomach was starting to sound like a feral monster. He loaded his plate high with a whole range of things and quickly wolfed it down before turning back to the girl beside him.

"Hey, Rose, want to go for a walk after dinner?"

All of the girls' friends giggled excitedly; after all, it was not every day a handsome guy tried to flirt with your friend.

"Err..Why?

"So we can get to know each other better. I want to know more about you."

Again, giggles.

"Why couldn't we just play twenty questions or something in the common room; I hate the cold and the grounds are covered in snow."

"I could keep you warm!" Scorpius said in a stroke of genius.

"Umm…that's kinda awkward, don't you think?"

There went Scorpius great plan of a romantic walk in the snow. "Alright, we can do something inside."

"I never agreed to do anything with you."

"What? Rose! Please, we can study if you want I just want to spend some time with you!"

"Alright," Rose said still feeling that this conversation was extremely awkward. Scorpius seemed to not have much experience when it came to talking to girls. "Er…I'll meet you in the library in half an hour if you want; I have some DADA stuff I need to do."

"Great! I'll see you then!" Scorpius replied, slightly over excited.

A/N Just thought I'd mention that I do not own these characters or anything else. Please leave a review and tell me whether I should continue with this story :) Thanks
