Chapter 1: Code Violet!
Rose walked into the Gryffindor common room and rushed over to greet best friend Alice Longbottom. They had been best friends since they were about five when Rose and Alice accidentally set the Burrow on fire. They were a strange combination: Alice with her straight blond hair, sparkling blue eyes, and over excitedness which was complemented in a strange way by a go with the flow attitude and Rose with her curly bright red hair, warm chocolate eyes, and over achieving and over controlling tendencies. Rose was extremely tall and lanky for a girl and Alice was short and curvy. Rose had a style that was well put together and Alice a fashion sense that was all her own. Whenever someone points this out Rose and Alice just say that because they are polar opposites they balance each other out.
It was a rare occasion for Rose to be in the Common Room since she was now head girl and shared a private dorm with the head boy who happened to be Scorpius Malfoy.
Scorpius had blonde hair and looked extremely similar to his father when he had been that age. The only difference between the two was their eyes. Draco had cold and piercing gray eyes while Scorpius had inherited his mother's dark blue eyes. Scorpius was tall and muscular due to the fact that he had played on the Quidditch team for the past four years of school. He was one of the best beaters this school had ever seen and was expected to go professional after school.
No one could believe Malfoy had made Slytherin prefect let alone head boy! Everyone thought that Al Potter, Rose's Cousin was a shoe in for both positions. But apparently McGonagall had lost her mind. Rose was the most disappointed by her decision because she despised Malfoy. They could rarely stand in the same room for more than two minutes without hexing each other. This provided large amounts of humor and annoyance for Al because the two of them were his best mates.
Anyways back to the the common room…
"Ally I need to talk to you," Rose said her voice reaching a high level of panic.
"Okay shoot," Ally said not noticing the panic in her best friend's voice and continuing to work on her Charms essay.
"It's really important!" Rose said trying to get her friend to see the urgency in the situation.
"Go ahead and talk Rose." Alice said still completely engrossed in her charms essay. "I just gotta finish this essay for charms it's due tomorrow."
Rose had to figure out a way for Alice to understand how important this was without shouting it out to the entire common room. Her news was not something she wanted all of Gryffindor tower to know. Suddenly a thought hit her.
"Code Violet!" Rose all but screamed.
"OMG Really!" Ally shouted shocked drawing every person in the common rooms attention to the pair sitting to the couch.
She dropped her charms essay grabbed Rose's hand and ran up to her dorm now knowing the cause of Rose's panic. As the two of them left a confused silence filled the air of the common room. It was soon broken by a group of noisy second years entering through the portrait hole.
"Who was it?" Ally asked as soon as she had reached her dorm and shut the door
Rose was so panicked she forgot to place the silencing charm on the room which is what she normally did before either Alice or she revealed any juicy secrets.
"Malfoy!" Rose exclaimed.
"…"
After what seemed like hours but was only mere seconds Alice responded, "No way did you snog Malfoy and enjoy it."
"Alice my dear friend I did not just enjoy it for Merlin's sake I called a code Violet!" Rose told her.
Both girls then knew it was serious because a code violet stood for love.
*FLASHBACK*
When the girls where younger they would go to the movies ever week end of the summer. Rose's mom being muggle born would take them. It was a tradition started when they were about nine. It was caused by seeing a flyer for a movie in Muggle London. They really wanted to see it and begged Rose's mom to take them one weekend. Both girls fell in love with the movies that they made Rose's mom take them every chance she got. Once Hogwarts started up they had to limit it to just the weekends in the summer. One of the movies that the watched was a completely cliché romantic film it even had that perfect first kiss of true love. That night Alice spent the night at Rose's house.
"I want that." Alice said as she lay on Rose's bed. She stared up at the celling with a dreamy look on her face.
"Want what?" Rose asked eating a chocolate frog from her super special secret stash of candy she has to hide because her mom is on one of her crazy health kicks. She wasn't really paying attention to Alice and didn't have much enthusiasm in her voice.
"That kiss you know the one from the movie," She said with the same dreamy look on her face. "I want true love's first kiss to be like that."
"Oh that…me too," Rose responded with the same wispy tone now fully paying attention to her best friend.
"Well if you ever do get it you have to tell me!" Ally commanded.
A determined look crossed her face. The look scared Rose a little bit.
"You do to! And we have to describe everything especially if the other hasn't experienced it yet." Rose told her not letting her fear show. "Oh we also have to drop everything like in a code red."
"It'll be a code red emergency," Ally agreed talking about the code they created when they were about six.
They sat in silence for a while just thinking about when that special kiss could happen and who it could happen with.
"You know we should have a different code for this." Ally said.
Rose sat up and said, "Yeah, like we have code red for emergency and code blue for get me away from Malfoy and code yellow for cover for me."
"It should be code violet since our first kiss is code purple!" Ally said with a goofy smile also sitting up.
"Yeah code violet!" Rose agreed with the same goofy smile that Alice had on her face.
"So who do you think the cutest guy our year is?" Rose said starting up a new conversation.
*END FLASHBACK*
Alice went to sit next to Rose on the bed.
"Were there Fireworks?" she asked.
Rose thought for a second and responded, "No but there were stars,"
Both girls giggled at this because they always made fun of Scorpius for being named after the stars.
Alice looked up and said, "Okay I'm probably going to regret asking this but how did it happen?"
"Well…"
*FLASHBACK*
"Malfoy!" Rose Weasley shouted at her co-head.
"What?" Scorpius Malfoy called back.
"What is this?" She asked pointing at the offensive item on her desk.
"I think we both know the answer to that question." He said with a smirk plastered on his face.
"What is it doing here in my room?" She asked getting more and more annoyed.
He replied quickly as if preparing to leave, "Your guess is as good as mine."
She screeched at him now fully irritated, "When are you going to take responsibility for your actions?"
"Well for one when the actions were caused by me." He replied starting to get annoyed.
"Oh really and it wasn't you who placed a magical WWW beauty product in my room."
"No, why would you assume that?"
She looked at him like he just grew two heads.
"Hmmm I don't know you always insult my looks, you always put WWW stuff in my room and because well WE SHARE A DORM!"
"Why are you so angry today?" he asked her confusion etched in his voice.
"Because it hurts, okay?" she said this as her voice started to get quiet.
"What," He asked now thoroughly confused.
"It hurts that you always think I'm so hideous. I mean I know it shouldn't but I can't help my heart from breaking just a little every time you tell be my hair is to bushy or my skin is to pale or ask if it is possible to fit anymore freckles on my…"
She was cut off by a kiss.
*END FLASHBACK*
"And then what happened." Alice asked you could hear the excitement in her voice she was really getting into it.
"Well I sorta left…"Rose said sheepishly.
"WHAT?!" Alice shouted complete shock evident on her face.
"I panicked so I came to you to ask what I should do!" Rose defended herself.
She mentally and physically prepared for an attack from Alice. Her friend could be violent when she wanted to be.
"You should go back to Malfoy and tell him you love him!" Alice exclaimed as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Okay, okay…" Rose said as she slowly got up and walked to the door.
"I still can't believe you snogged Malfoy!" Alice practically shouted before Rose opened the door
"I know!" Rose exclaimed pausing to give her friend a hug goodbye.
Little did they know that a certain red headed fifth year picked up the end of their conversation.
