Rose had always thought that he'd be her first and last kiss. It wasn't that she was naïve, it was just because she had thought that he'd never hurt her in the way that he did. Of course it was a stupid move of him. With her multiple cousins, younger brother and her best friend, Scorpius Malfoy, there was no chance of him getting out of this without being punched or hexed. It came with being a Weasley. You all stuck together. Hurt a Weasley, you've got a gang of them after you. Around school everyone knew that, but it still didn't stop Marcus toying with her heart. She had caught him kissing another girl in an empty classroom while they were supposed to be on prefect patrols. She vowed never to let herself fall in-love again. 'It only leads to heart break.' Rose thought to herself. 'Never again.' Rose's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice behind her.

"Rosie, are you going to come out of the library yet? Everyone's going down to Hogsmeade. Your brother wants help deciding what you're getting your parents for Christmas." Her cousin and best friend, Albus Potter, sat opposite her with Scorpius right behind him.

"I need to finish this essay!" Rose said shaking her essay.

"That's not due for another week!" Scorpius said taking it out of her hand, "Besides you've already written twice the amount as was asked. Just take a break and come with us to Hogsmeade."

"But…" Rose began to say.

"No buts." Scorpius interrupted. "You're coming with us." With that he got out his wand and gave it a wave. All her work vanished. Scorpius chuckled after seeing the look on her face. "Relax Rosie. It's all up in your dorm."

"Fine! Fine I'm coming. But the one of you have to buy me Butterbeer."

"Rose, you need to stop dwelling over Marcus. He's a jerk." Her younger cousin Lily said sitting across from her at The Three Broomsticks.

"A dead jerk if he comes near Rose again." Scorpius grumbled. Whenever Marcus was mentioned Rose noticed that Scorpius always got the same look on his face. A look that meant murder.

This was about the time Rose shut off. She didn't like hearing his name. She stared into her butterbeer and said nothing. Lily didn't seem to realise that yet. But Al and Scorp did. Thank-fully they changed the convocation to Quidditch.

"Slytherin is so beating Gryffindor this weekend." Scorpius said with a confidant smirk. He was the captain and the seeker of the Slytherin Quidditch team. Albus was the seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and the next in line to be captain when James left so the two were often fighting about who would win. Rose, who was a proud Gryffindor, sided with Albus but she just kept her mouth shut and let the boys argue.

"No chance Scorp." Al said with an equally confidant smirk.

"I'm bored." Lily announced suddenly. "Rosie, come for a walk?"

"Okay sure thing Lil, we'll be back later you two." Rose said. Her mind wandered to why Lily wanted to go for a walk. She just hoped it wasn't to talk about Marcus. Five minutes later the two of them were walking towards the Shrieking Shack. It was lightly snowing so they path up to the shack was picturesque.

"What did you want to talk about Lil?" Rose smiled to show she was all ears.

"What do you think about Scorpius?" Lily said after hesitating for a moment. Rose raised her eyebrow at this.

"What do you mean? He's my best friend, if that's what you were asking." She wondered where this had come from.

"Are you sure there is nothing more? Because if there is. I need to know." Lily looked at her elder cousin intently.

"There's nothing more. Where is this coming from Lily?"

"I think I sorta like him."
