________________________________________________________________________
It was Rose Weasley's fourth year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry and in two days it would be the day she had been looking forward to since she started school. The annual Yule ball. She had seen pictures of her mother at her ball with a handsome young wizard apparently it was the legendary Quidditch player Viktor Krum. Rose was never entirely sure if she believed her, then there was her father's picture. Oh how she had laughed when she seen his dress robes of course that was nothing compared to the boredom he had worn. Uncle Harry's photo had looked the same except he had better dress robes and auntie Ginny looked lovely just not as nice as her mum. The dress she had gotten for the ball looked like her mothers apart from the fact it was blue. It did set her auburn hair and blue eyes of brilliantly though. The only problem was finding someone to go with.
Rose sighed. She wanted to ask James because he was the most popular boy in school and the fact he was a year older made it better, only to go as friends though but it wasn't possible. Nearly everyone had paired up with someone else at this rate everyone she was never going to have anyone to go with. 'Hey Rose.' Came the cheerful voice of Lily Potter. 'Oh hi Lily.' Rose said glumly. Lily plonked down on the side of Rose's bed. 'What's up Rosie? You look like you've swallowed one of Uncle George's sulky sweets.' She popped a piece of gum. 'Not, nothing really it's…it's just I don't have anyone to go to the Yule Ball tomorrow with?' Lily gave a sly look. 'I've got a plan.' 'Oh no.' Rose new what Lily's plans were like.
'Boy scout!' said Lily. 'Oh no Lily please I really don't want to.' Lily got on her feet and started pulling Rose up. 'Aw come on it'll be fun.' Rose got up reluctantly she was slightly intimidated by Lily. She was only first year but she was a really beautiful girl her red hair and porcelain skin made her look like a younger picture of aunt Ginny. They scouted the entire grounds looking for the perfect boy without success. Then things got worse James heard what they were doing and decided to taunt her with it. 'Hey Potter leave her alone just because you never got a date for your Yule Ball.' Came the jeering voice of Scorpius Malfoy. 'What's that Malfoy?' James drew his wand but Scorpius had also done so. 'Just try it Potty!' Professor Longbottom had just bustled round the corner.
'Alright that's quite enough with the wands so what's going on here?' James quickly changed his look from challenging to innocent. 'I'm sorry professor it really wasn't my fault though, it was that Malfoy. He's saying things about Rose because she hasn't got a date for the ball tomorrow.' He finished putting his arm around Rose who shrugged it of. 'Is this true Scorpius?' Scorpius gaped. 'No of course not! Ask Rose if you don't believe me, or Lily.' Neville looked at them Rose spoke first. 'He's telling the truth professor.' Lily nodded causing James to draw them both daggers. 'Tsk...tsk, what would your parents say James?' James shrugged. 'Usual time, usual place for detention?' said James with a sigh. 'Yes Mr Potter.' Neville continued on his journey. 'See you little whelps around.' Snarled James banging into Scorpius as hard as he could on the way past.
Lily knew this was her moment to shine. 'So who are you going with Scorpius? To the ball I mean.' He blushed slightly. 'Um…I…um I don't know yet. I mean it's not that big a deal.' He brushed off. 'Oh wow that's great so you'll collect Rose at the bottom of the stairs? She can't wait.' Lily smirked then skipped off leaving two pink faced fourth years behind. Rose was going to kill her. 'Well yeah I suppose so.' said Scorpius. Rose turned to him looking surprised. 'Really? You want to go with me?' Scorpius shrugged. 'Well I'm not going with anyone and your not going with any one so we probably should' Rose glared at him. 'Oh great your going with me because you have to go! Thanks a lot Malfoy! You really know how to charm a girl!' she stomped off leaving a bewildered Scorpius alone.
That after noon Scorpius returned to the common room to find his friend Al sitting on the most comfortable seat in the common room. 'You asked a girl out to the Yule Ball didn't you?' Scorpius collapsed on a green sofa. 'Yes how'd you know?' Al grinned. 'I came in looking like that about half an hour ago now.' Scorpius returned the smile. 'Actually maybe you could help. Could you talk to your sister for me?' Al looked confused. 'Please say you don't want to go with my sister do you?' Malfoy looked horrified. 'What?! No! I mean she's nice and all but just not the girl I'm looking for.' 'Ok then. Don't get wrong I would be ok with it I just don't fancy asking my sister out with my best mate.' Scorpius laughed. 'Yeah that could be awkward.' 'What is it you want me to ask Lil then?'
It was the night of the Yule Ball and Scorpius Malfoy sat alone in the Slytherin dorm rooms. His friend Al suddenly burst through the door. 'Scorpius…get ready…Yule… Ball…Rose… waiting…for…you.' Al panted trying to get a breath and talk at the same time. 'What!?' I've got 15 minutes to get ready Albus!' 'I know…got to go… Roxanne…wants a dance…with me.' Scorpius had already jumped up and started running around for his things. 'Ok alright just make sure Rose waits for me.' Al gave him a thumbs up sign. 'Got it!' Then charged back out the dorm. Rose had let her hair hang down for the party her hair was really long waste length and had long waves in it. Slightly pulled back by a silver butterfly clasp, she sighed as she looked into her window reflection. Scorpius finished adding his final touches of wiz gel to his blonde hair he looked at a small wooden clock in the corner of the room. 'Five minutes!' he muttered to himself.
He grabbed his dark green dress robe jacket and ran down the stair. He had nearly got to the bottom stair when he noticed everyone starring up at where he was. Slowly he turned round to see the most beautiful girl he had ever seen glide gracefully down the stairs. That was Rose! Quiet and the most well mannered girl in the school Rose! He heard the closest group of students whisper something about her being related to Victoire Weasley and maybe she was part Veela. He felt a gush of smugness that he would be the one to enter with Rose on his arm. She finally reached him. 'You came then.' 'Well obviously like you said it would be a waste of a night if we didn't.' Scorpius gulped. 'Well yeah about that…um' She raised an eyebrow. 'Yes Scorpius?' 'Nothing just that you look really…goo-beautiful.' Both of them blushed.
'Shall we?' she asked. Malfoy offered his arm then muttered under his breath so only Rose could hear. 'By the way a couple of people think your part Veela, you being related to Victoire and all.' Rose went pink. 'I'll take it as a compliment then.' Scorpius sneered down his nose at everyone he knew how good he looked entering the Great Hall with Rose. The sneer was something he had seen his father do often. Whispers spread through the Hall and a stunned grey headed Hagrid watched as both Weasley and Malfoy walked in hand in hand in amazement. The talking stopped and the music started and everyone followed their headmaster into the first formal dance. 'You're a really good dancer.' Rose said smiling as Scorpius spun her around. 'Thanks.' He said returning the grin. 'My mother taught me, mine too.' laughed Rose. 'Dad isn't much of a dancer himself you should see his Yule Ball picture.'
Scorpius suddenly stopped as it finally hit him. 'What about our parents?' he asked worriedly. Rose's brow furrowed. 'What about them?' 'They weren't exactly friends at school, I don't think they'd really approve I really like you though.' Rose shrugged. 'I like you to so who is gonna tell them?' Scorpius smiled. 'In that case should finish the dance.' They took up their positions again. 'Look.' Laughed Rose nodding at Al and Roxanne. 'He is such a terrible dancer. Poor Roxanne.' Scorpius grinned. 'It's more Al I'm worried about.' James watched them darkly from the doorway. He had nothing against Rose in fact he really liked her though he had to double take it was her she had never looked so beautiful. When he was taunting her earlier he really didn't try to seem mean. The problem was Malfoy, he had heard all about his family his grandfather was dead but his death eater grandmother and father still lived. He knew they had been forgiven but it still wasn't fair! James would never know the great man he got his name from or his sweet and kind grandmother.
Actually he was lucky to have a father and a mother so was Rose but he doubted she knew if she did she certainly wouldn't dance with him. 'Oi you.' He said to a small girl carrying a large camera. 'Could I borrow your camera for some photos and I'll give you five galleons.' The girl quickly agreed. 'Thanks.' He said taking her camera from her to get some pictures of Scorpius and Ron. 'I'll give you your money when I get the photos ok?' The girl smiled and nodded before disappearing. He would give a copy to his aunt and uncle that would save Rose from getting hurt. Then he would send a copy to the Malfoy's that would get him in trouble alright. He slithered off up to his room to await his result. Later on in the night – Both Scorpius and Rose left the Great Hall laughing. 'Oh Merlin that was so funny did you see his face?!' exclaimed Rose. Scorpius all about doubled over in laughing at her impression of a confused Neville trying to copy Al's dancing.
'What kind of dance was Al doing anyway?' Rose gave him a funny look. 'Muggle?' Malfoy asked. 'Yes.' She smiled calming down. 'I sometimes forget you're not used to that kind of stuff.' Rose said gazing into his eyes. They were directly underneath the Great Hall doors. Scorpius broke the moment by looking up. 'Mistletoe?' Rose looked up. 'I don't see any-' Scorpius cut her off by leaning in and kissing her, he drew back. 'Sorry it just felt-' this time she cut him off kissing him with more passion and they continue to do so until high pitched Scottish professor broke them apart. 'Ooooh teenage love I remember when I was that age. Hormones rising and all that. Ah ha right pair of little love bird's I found here professor Longbottom I'm telling you.' At first the couple just blushed but at the sound of Neville's name decided to make a dash for it.
'What's that Mary?' Neville had just turned the corner in time for the pair leaving. 'Oh nothing important. C'mon let's see you and me go in here and try that ridiculous dance of Potter's again.' Laughed Mary. 'Yeah alright then.' He replied with a grin.
