I decided to write this story after having read Harry Potter and The Cursed Child trying to precede the events in the book.

It's Albus, Scorpius and Rose's 5th year, and after the summer holiday, preceding the crazy events of Albus and Scorpius' 4th year, a lot of things has changed for them.

It is mainly written shifting in between Scorpius' and Rose's POV, but occasionally it will have one of the other's POV.

Chapter One

The train was making an ear deafening alarm, but the noise was muffled by the hundreds of people making their way across the platform. It wasn't an unusual sight, at least not at this of year. Platform 9¾ was buzzing with children of all ages running around in between their families with big trunks and various animals in different cages. If you paid close attention you could probably pick out a conversation between two families, children crying, cats meowing and owls howling, but Scorpius had learned how to tune it out. His eyes were staring out the window at nothing in particular waiting for the train to start moving. He'd slowly grown impatient with the family goodbyes.

His mind wandered back to a bit earlier. His hands had been stuffed in his pockets and eyes had been locked on the ground as he had parted with his father. Things had been strained between Scorpius and Draco the past summer after Draco had taken his interest in Alchemy further and reopened his interest for potions as well, hoping to get a job in the field to pass time when Scorpius wouldn't be home. That, however, had meant that Scorpius had spent most of his time alone that summer.

Albus and his family had been on a long vacation, and even though they had kept in touch and still were best friends, it had not been the same for Scorpius. When boredom had nearly ripped him apart, Scorpius had spent the rest of his vacation at his aunt Daphne's house, spending time with her and his cousin Jennifer. His father had never been thrilled that his sister in law had married Theodore Nott, who was now spending time in Azkaban for having created illegal time-turners, but Daphne and Jenny had a good life and was always more than happy to spend time with Draco and Scorpius.

Jenny and Scorpius had practised Quidditch most of their time together. The Slytherin keeper had graduated the year before and Scorpius had set his eyes on that position. Jenny, who had been a chaser since her third year for the Ravenclaw team, was more than happy to help him out. The two looked a lot alike, both with a silvery blonde hair and pointed features, most people often mistook them as siblings, and they had always fought like brother and sister, so it wasn't new.

His mind was torn away from his summer with his cousin, as the door to the compartment was opened and closed behind him. Scorpius looked up and met a pair of bright green eyes that belonged to a tall black haired guy. A smile spread across Scorpius' lips as he stood to give his best friend an awkward guy hug.

"Hey my man!" Albus laughed. "Good to see you dude. Feels like it's been forever." Albus sat down across from Scorpius and threw his feet up on the seat next to him.

"That's because it has been forever Al," Scorpius replied and shook his head, "it's been months." He sat back down and mimicked Albus position. "How was France?"

Albus looked at his friend and shook his head. "Oh Merlin dude... " He laughed dryly. "I know I'm on a short leash after what happened last year, but I did not have a single moment alone!" Being a part of the family he was a part of Albus had not been able to escape at all during the time he had been in France on vacation. If his parents or siblings hadn't been by his side he had about 10 other family members ready to 'babysit' him.

"At least you had company…" Scorpius mumbled under his breath and gazed out of the window watching the train finally begin to move and families shouting and waving to all the heads that were probably sticking out of the windows. He could feel Albus eyes on him but nothing came out of his friend's mouth. During the summer Scorpius had written about his agony of being bored out of his mind to Albus, but he had not mentioned how hurt he had been at the time, that Albus wasn't there to share his pain.

The compartment door opened and closed again and the two boys' heads turned toward their new guest. "Hey boys." A silky voice said and whilst Albus' mouth dropped open Scorpius smiled happily. "Hey Jenny, sit down." Scorpius pushed Albus' feet off of the seat and Jenny sat down next to her cousin after dusting off some dirt. It was a wonder that Jenny and Albus had never met, considering how close the two cousins were, but then on the other hand, Albus and Scorpius had done a great job at excluding themselves from everyone else the first 4 years at Hogwarts.

"So Scorpy, are you going to introduce me?" Jenny asked with a smile and Scorpius turned. "Yes Al this is…" His voice trailed off as he met his best friend's stare. "Al? Earth to Albus?" Albus didn't move an inch and Scorpius hit him with a "DUDE!"

"Owe!" Albus rubbed his arm and then blushed as he heard Jenny's giggle. "Hi… uhm… sorry… I am… uhm… I'm Albus." He offered his hand to Jenny and she took it with a grin obvious to the fact he could barely remember his own name.

"Hello Albus… Potter I presume?" Albus nodded. "I'm Jennifer Nott, but you can call me Jenny." She smiled at Albus who just kept nodding.

Scorpius groaned annoyingly, "dude snap out of it already." He rolled his eyes when Albus just continued to stare at Jenny. Jenny was a gorgeous young girl. Her long blonde locks framed her petite face beautifully and ran long down her back when she didn't tie it up. Her brown eyes were sweet like chocolate, and her hourglass figure left boys staring at her for miles. Not that this affected Scorpius in any way considering she was his cousin, it had however left hit glaring at many guys who had tried to approach her this past summer and who Scorpius thought of as scum.

"So Albus," Jenny was interrupted when Albus suddenly blurted, "Al! You can call me Al!" She smiled, "alright Al. How was your summer?"

"Oh, you know… Visiting Muggle Paris… Seeing the eiffel tower… Walking along the seine…" Albus sat with a cocky smile whilst he romanticized his family vacation to impress Jenny. Scorpius rolled his eyes and gazed out the window again. Albus was wasting his time, Jenny knew exactly what Albus had been doing during the summer, as she had been there each time Scorpius had received a letter from him.

The trolley lady interrupted Albus' extravagant story, that Jenny found, even though she knew it was made up, quite entertaining. Albus got the three of them a bunch of candy and cans of pumpkin juice that they shared among them.

The three of them were casually discussing this year's horrifics that would be OWLs when Jenny suddenly felt like changing the subject.

"So Al, can you enlighten me on the whole Rose Weasley business?" She looked at Albus while taking a bite of a chocolate frog with Hermione Granger on it - which had let her to ask the question.

By the mention of her name, Scorpius almost hit Albus when he spit his pumpkin juice out. He knew exactly why she was asking about it. When Scorpius first had arrived that summer Jenny had asked about Rose as one of the first things, to which he had just glared at her and walked away. It hadn't been completely fair to her considering the fact that ever since their first year at Hogwarts Scorpius had done nothing but talk about the fact that he was going to marry Rose Weasley once they graduated. But by the end of their fourth year thinking Rose had finally warmed up to him, it turned out she had merely just gone from despising him to accepting and tolerating his presence. And that had been where he drew the line for himself, finally admitting that his sappy love for her was bulshit.

However, he had never thought she'd start asking about it to Albus when his dramatic exit should have explained completely why he didn't want to talk about Rose Weasley.

"Enlighten you how exactly?" Albus asked with a raised eyebrow as he wiped off his halfly drenched shirt.

Jenny looked from Scorpius to Albus, "I assumed that you would know exactly why our dear Scorpy here suddenly stopped talking about the redhead.." Albus and Jenny were now both looking at Scorpius.

"She just doesn't matter to me anymore, alright? It's no big deal, it was just a stupid crush!" Scorpius gave them each a long glare and returned to him pumpkin juice whilst staring out of the window watching the nature pass them.

The two others exchanged a knowing look and continued talking about OWLs and the upcoming years at Hogwarts.

"Just look at yourself!" James practically shouted and Rose sunk even deeper into her seat. Being part of the Weasley-Potter clan meant that most of Gryffindor was filled with her family. There were some of her cousins that had been sorted into the other houses, she still remember her horrific face when Albus had been sorted into Slytherin. However, that was old news. She was completely over it. She'd even decided she'd be somewhat friendly towards Scorpius Malfoy from now on, even though she was still mad that he had stolen Albus away from her. It had been amazing having Al to herself all summer - well almost. Albus had been watched like a hawk the entire holiday by every single family member. Poor guy, but she understood why they had done it.

But it wasn't Albus who was bothering her now, no it was his pain-in-the-arse older brother James. James was attending his last year at Hogwarts along with their cousins Fred, Molly and Dominique. However, the two girls were not in Gryffindor and not sitting with the Gryffindors of the family. But James and Fred were hovering above Rose annoying the hell out of her. She swore to Merlin that Fred II had inherited every nasty habit from his father and deceased uncle, and somehow it had also been passed on through aunt Ginny to James. They were Fred and George Weasley #2, and everyone knew it. She was pretty sure she'd seen Headmaster McGonagall flinch every time she'd seen them together.

The current topic was the fact that Rose had hit puberty for real during the summer. Sure it had really started the summer between 2nd and 3rd year at Hogwarts, but during this summer her womanly curves had really hit in, and her cousins were giving her grief about it. They were making bets on how many guys that would ask her out this year. How many boyfriends she'd have. How many she'd turn down. How many that would get hexed for groping her, and so on. It was driving her insane. Mostly because she didn't think of herself as, well, hot.

She had inherited the two worst traits of her parents; her mother's big bushy curls that were at times intangible and then of course the Weasley hair colour - red. Her eyes were boring brown, and, at least according to herself, her body wasn't something you couldn't find on any other girl. She thought about her roommate and close friend Katy McLaggen; Katy had long blonde tamable curls, enchanting green eyes and pale yet radiant skin. Her chest was impressive but not over the top, hips that would sway sexily as she walked down a hallway with her long slim legs; she was every guy's dream and even though she knew it, she was a sweetheart and Rose truly loved that girl.

Even Lily Potter, sitting across from Rose next to Hugo talking about their third year, was even more gorgeous than herself. Her red hair was the opposite of Rose's. It was straight and she had bangs that framed her face beautifully. Her eyes twinkled green just like Al's and her curves made her look so much older than just a third year.

No Rose was definitely not the hottest girl around and she made sure her cousins knew that. "Would you two just shut the hell up?" She finally said to them and they just grinned at her. "Look at that Fred, we made her uncomfortable." Fred moved closer and laughed. "I see my dear James, how on earth did that happen?" James moved closer as well. "I have no idea - you would think we did it on purpose." The boys laughed and Rose groaned.

"Leave the poor girl alone." A calm voice came from the corner of the compartment. It was Lucy Weasley one of Rose's more sane cousins. She and her older sister Molly were the children of Rose's neurotic and sort of mean uncle Percy - oh how she had heard many stories from her father and uncle George about Percy and his tight up attitude. However his daughters were completely different - they had of course inherited their father's wits but most of their personality traits could be recognized in their mother Audrey. Molly, who was a year older than Lucy and same year as James and Fred, had been sorted into Hufflepuff, and was therefore not there to help Rose as she usually did. Molly and Dominique usually kept the two boys from ruining everyone's lives, since the four of them had followed each other in everything.

"Oh we are just having some fun." Fred said with a twinkle as he almost sat on top of Lucy to fit on the seat where her, Hugo and Lily were sitting. Pretending to shove him hard, Lucy wiggled Fred off of her. "Well, your impression of fun isn't always fun for everyone." She smiled and gave Rose an apologetic look. "Sorry Rose, you know they're just joking around." James put an arm around Rose. "I don't even understand why it's bothering her. We're just complimenting her… You know it really hurts." James pretended to be deeply wounded by Rose who just rolled her eyes.

"The way you're saying it makes it seem like it's anything but a compliment." She crossed her arms and Fred moved and sat down next to her on the other side, so she now had two of her cousins next to her.

They both towered over her even when they sat down. James was a good mixture of his parents. His hair a very dark brown that had a hint of auburn in the sunlight and his eyes were a nice shade of brown that sometimes had a twinkle of green that has siblings had. Fred also shared the dark brown hair, however the red that hid in his curls were more obvious than James' and his brown eyes were warm and calm to look at, and complimented his dark skin colour that came from his mother.

"Oh come on Rosie," how she hated being called that, "we actually do mean it. And we're just playing around. Cause truth be told," him and James shared a look, "whatever git that decides to break your heart or come near you without your permission will never see the light of day!"

"Hear hear!" James said and high fived Fred.

"Count me in too." It came from the opposite side and Rose looked up to meet her brother's kind eyes. They were the same brown as her own, however he had only inherited the hair from mom, curly and brown. "Definitely! Hear that Rosie? We all got your back!"

"And no matter how much you refuse to accept it, you will need it." Rose couldn't help but smile, it was nice to know that they were there for her no matter what the reason was.

"Look!" Lily was pointing out the window, and out there in the near horizon you could see the tall towers of Hogwarts peeking. They were almost there.

Hope you like it. The idea came into my mind as soon as I started reading HP and the Cursed Child. It will most likely be with weekly updates, if not then every other week.

I know I have 3 new stories going on, but I have already written many of the chapters for Against All Reason, so right now I am mainly focussing on getting this one up and then continuing My Amortentia.

Anyways, let me know what you think please!
