"This is all your fault." Rose Weasley fumed, propping her head up with her hand.
Scorpius Malfoy shot her a look. "Well if you'd just grow a sense of humor then-"
"If you call pouring Redcap puss down Lorcan Scamander's back then, that's the kind of sense of humor I'd rather avoid!"
"Well you didn't need to pour it over me!"
"That's quite enough!" A stern voice from the doorway asked.
Both teenagers' heads snapped towards the fuming headmistress. She walked in and stood behind her wooden desk, facing the students.
"This is unacceptable behaviour!" Her eyes fixed on Scorpius. "I've come accustom to it from you mister Malfoy, but miss Weasley."
Rose lowered her eyes to her lap in guilt.
"I expect more from you." Professor McGonagall scowled. "For this act of extremely careless behaviour, you both will be serving three weeks detention with Professor Slughorn and Filch."
"Three weeks!" Scorpius cried, outraged.
"But Professor, it was all his fault-" Rose argued.
"That's not true! You were the one who-"
"SILENCE!"
Scorpius folded his arms in anger while Rose was glaring at her clasped hands in her lap.
"If I hear another peep out of you, Merlin help me I shall send you home for the rest of the school year."
Rose's head shot up. Her eyes wide with fear. "No! You can't send me home! What about my O.W.Ls? I need to study, It's just out of the question!-"
"Miss Weasley, calm down!"
Scorpius snickered into his hand. Rose restrained herself from strangling the Slytherin.
"I shall go and get Professor Slughorn," Professor McGonagall inforemd. "Do you think you could act like decent students until then?"
Rose nodded grudgingly and Scorpius made a 'mm' noise in agreement.
The headmistress hastily exited the circular office; the sound of her clacking shoes was soon faded.
Rose tried to keep her eyes straight ahead; they were glassy and threatening to release tears. She didn't know why she was crying, it was absurd to cry about something like this. But it was one of her tendencies to cry at strange times.
Scorpius impatiently ran his fingers through his long blond hair and glanced toward the Gryffindor next to him. A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Three weeks detention with me," He started. "Must be your dream come true."
Rose looked at him. "Your full of yourself." She scorned.
Scorpius' smirk remained unfaltered. They sat for another couple of awkward minutes in the silent office. Rose was playing with her nails and Scorpius examining his prefect badge. The minutes rolled by quickly, they were beginning to wonder whether McGonagall was coming back or not. A low rumble vibrated in Rose's stomach, she looked down and furrowed a brow. It was nearing dinner time.
She leaned over the side of her seat and hoisted her heavy school bag off the ground. Scorpius watched as she pulled out a packet of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. She pulled out a green bean and popped it into her mouth, a look of satisfaction spread across her face.
Scorpius cleared his throat loudly. Rose looked at him.
"Oh, you want one do you?" She asked snottily.
"Well.. it's selfish to just eat them in-front of me."
Rose scoffed. "Ha! Your one to be talking about selfishness."
"Look, I gave you half of my packet of Droobles last week, now give me a bean!" Scorpius reached over to box of beans in Rose's hand. She moved her hand above her head and out of Scorpius' reach. She laughed as he tried to grab the sweets from her hand. Rose jumped to her feet, causing her school bag to fall onto the ground and the contents spill across the floor. Scorpius cocked a brow when he saw a small golden necklace in the midst of all of the essays and books. Completely forgetting about his earlier mission, he reached for the chain and pulled it into his hands. Rose didn't even notice. When examining it further, Scorpius realised it wasn't just a normal necklace. It was a time-turner.
"What are you doing?!" Rose glowered, attempting to snatch back her property.
"What exactly, are you doing with a time-turner?"
"It's fake. Uncle George gave it to me over the Summer."
"Oh, so if it's fake then nothing will happen if I do this?" Scorpius spun the inside of the golden ball.
"NO!! YOU STUPID GIT!" Rose lunged for the chain dangling through Scorpius' fingers. The two struggled with the rapidly spinning time-turner.
"I thought you said it wasn't real!"
"What would I be doing with a fake time-turner in my bag?!" Rose yelled.
Scorpius smirked and let the chain go, making Rose fall back onto her backside.
"Look, nothing happened." Scorpius said, gesturing around the office.
Relieved and angry at the same time, Rose stood up and shoved the time-turner into her robe pocket. Scorpius was flicking beans her beans into his mouth, but Rose wasn't worried. She was just glad that nothing happened to them.
"Sit down, before McGonagall comes back!" Scorpius hissed.
Rose shrieked at planted herself back into the chair, leaving her essays hanging out of the bag beside her.
The door behind them opened, McGonagall was back. They both turned around only to see an elderly man with a long beard. Confusion waved over the two. Behind him was a boy, with messy black hair, round glasses and a lightning bolt scar on his forehead.
