This is my first Romance, and my first 2nd generation fanfic, so it's not that good. Please tell me what you think. I'd really appreciate it, and I'll accept criticism, because as I said, it's my 1st romance story. Enjoy!
One day at Hogwarts, in Rose's 2nd year, she was walking around the grounds, looking for a place to relax. Rose found a nice tree and sat down against it. She sat there reading a book. After a few minutes, she jumped slightly, as she felt someone trip over her outstretched legs. She saw it was a blond boy, probably her age. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" The boy got up and looked at her. When he saw her face he immediately sneered. "Really? I don't think so. I know who you are, it's obvious." Rose had no idea what he was talking about. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I've never seen you before" The boy seemed to have been taken aback. "Filthy blood traitor" he grumbled, and walked away. "Hey! You shouldn't call anybody that!" rose called after him. He paused for a second, and then continued walking.
The next day in the dungeons, Scorpius was in the common room, doing nothing. They were talking about the Weasleys and how they affected Magic History. "Speaking of the Weasleys," started Scorpius "One of them tried to trip me yesterday, and she acted all innocent, I could tell she did it on purpose." Meanwhile in the Gryffindor common room, they were having a similar conversation. "Some kid tripped over my legs yesterday, outside." Rose said. "Really? Who?" asked Albus Severus, who looked up from his Potions essay. "I don't know really, I just remember he was in my year, was pale, and blond." Said Rose, trying to remember what the boy looked like. "Ah," said James, who came and sat down with them "That is Scorpius Malfoy, son of a prat who hated my parents, and your parents." "No wonder, he seemed to know who I was" Rose said.
Three years later, they were brought into another similar situation. Rose was absentmindedly watching the Giant Squid as she passed, and she just happened to bump into Scorpius, who was walking, also distracted. "Oh sorry!" Rose said when they collided, and then she saw his face. "Oh, you again. "sneered Scorpius as he saw her face. Who is this guy? His face is familiar but I can't seem to remember his name, or where I've met him.Rose thought. She racked her brains, then she suddenly remembered. "Yeah, we seem to keep meeting in this kind of situation" she said.
His face seemed to soften a bit, but it seemed more indifferent than angry. "Uhuh, we meet like this again I might think you're doing it on purpose" he said. Rose giggled a bit, then she muttered "Well, I hope we don't" then walked away. As she walked, her cousin Albus passed and stopped to chat. "Hey Rose! I saw you bump into Scorpius. Was he bothering you?" he asked. "Not really" Rose replied "We just bumped into each other" Albus sighed in relief. "Good, because James told me that he was evil, like his dad."
"Well, it didn't seem like it. He seemed just shy."Rose told him. Hugo, who was walking with Albus said "Whenever I see him, he seems more like a prat then a shy kid." "Well, you probably thought wrong." Rose replied stubbornly. "Why are you defending him anyway?"said Albus suspiciously. Rose hesitated. "I – I just don't like harsh misjudgment when you don't even know the person personally." Hugo and Albus raised their eyebrows. "What? You're doing what's called 'jumping to conclusions'" said Rose defensively.
Later in the Gryffindor common room, Rose was sitting with a few of her older friends. "Hey Claire," she asked her 7th year friend. "Do you know anything about Scropius Malfoy?" Claire stared at her. "Well," started Claire "Everyone calls him 'Malfoy' actually. I remember when he first came, I saw he was a big jerk. He cared about blood purity and stuff. But then in his second year, he seemed to soften a bit. He didn't insult Muggleborns as much as he did before. No one knows why" The insides of Rose's stomach twisted into knots. Didn't we meet in second year? And why did he remember it when I didn't? Rose thought. "Thanks" Rose mumbled "I think I'll go to bed." She gathered her things and went up to the dorm. The next morning Rose woke up after only a few hours rest. She had spent half the night thinking.
In the Slytherin common room, there was a strange atmosphere about. At least, for Scorpius there was. Every time he saw a head of long red hair, he would feel something jumping in his stomach. Of course, he denied this. "I don't know what you're talking about" he would say. Though he didn't realize it, he would turn his head whenever someone said "Rose" or "Weasley" he denied this too. He unconsciously wandered around the castle in his free time. Then one day he was walking in the halls when he saw long red hair. He looked hopefully, and it was Rose. She turned around. "Oh, hi" said Scorpius awkwardly. Rose's cheeks became slightly red. "Oh, um, hi" she replied."I see we didn't bump each other this time" Scropius laughed. "Well, we've actually never formally met." He said. "But I know who you are. A lot of people do" Rose pointed out. "Well, I don't know who you are. I only know you're a Weasley" he lied. Rose seemed a bit shocked and unbelieving. "I'm Rose, Rose Weasley. I know you're Scorpius Malfoy." Scorpius nodded. "I feel better now that we know each other, I can finally apologize for making you trip" Rose said. "Oh it's okay! I can tell you didn't mean it." Scorpius said hastily and Rose smiled, making Scorpius blush a bit."Well, I better go to class now. It!" was nice meeting you!" Rose said, walking away.
After that they would talk a lot whenever they find each other in the halls, which was often, and they eventually became friends.A week later, Scorpius was walking with a good friend of his named Alora. They had been friends since their first year. He was recounting his few encounters with Rose, when she stopped walking. "What's wrong Lora?" Scorpius asked, stopping too. Her eyes were wet with small tears. "What's wrong?" Scorpius repeated, moving closer to comfort her. "I-I don't like you talking about that girl." She said. Scorpius was taken aback. "Why?" She hesitated. "Because – because…" she leaned forward and kissed him. What the? Scorpius thought. He tried to push her away, but she persisted. Then Scorpius saw Rose, shocked, and standing across the hall. He tried harder to push away Alora, and finally did, but not before Rose backed away and left.
Rose ran to the dorms. For some reason seeing someone kiss Scorpius made her insides boil.
She knew exactly what this meant, and what just happened made her feel awful. She curled on her bed and started to cry. Scorpius had ran after Rose but stopped at the painting of the suspicious Fat Lady. "What are you doing here? You aren't a Gryffindor!" the Fat Lady asked him. "Nothing" he mumbled, and he went on his way. The next day, Scorpius looked for Rose in the halls. And he only succeeded after two hours. "Hey Rose" he said. "Hi" Rose said, avoiding Scorpius' face. "You can't believe what happened last night…" said Scorpius, trying to sound casual, and failing. He tried to look at Rose's face but she kept avoiding it. "Alora, my best friend since first year, is in, love with me!" Rose finally faced him, but her face was stony. "Who knew" she said , trying to sound indifferent and succeeding. "Well, she didn't tell me straightforward." He continued "She kissed me and…." His voice trailed off. Rose looked at him her eyes looked as if she was about to burst into tears. "And what?" she asked. "Well, I tried to pull her away. Because, I only thought her as a friend…" He hoped she got the message that he didn't plan the kiss. Rose's face was still stony, but it was softer. She looked straight into his eyes. "Hmph. From what I saw it was a pretty long kiss" she said. Scorpius' face drooped. "I was trying to push her away." He explained "I—I…." his voiced faltered. Rose was still looking at him, but not into his eyes. She waited for him to continue, but he did not. "I should go back to my dorm now" Rose said "I have loads of homework." Then she walked away, across the empty hallway, her footsteps echoing on the floor. A little too late, Scorpius waved goodbye.
Scorpius decided to leave her alone for a while that night, but Rose came back to normal the next day. She acted as if nothing had happened at all. "Potions was hard today" she said casually. "Um, I guess it was kinda hard." Scorpius said the next day, her to get mad or apologize or something. What he didn't know was that Rose was having a war with herself. Do something! Make a move! Part of her thought Or else someone else will go and snatch him up like that Alora girl! No, another part thought. He's a good friend, I think we should get closer first. No! the other part argued It needs to be soon! She kept debating on what to do next. But you see, Scorpius was sort of good at Legilimency. But he never used it on Rose, he never wanted too. But he did today, because he wanted to know so badly if she was furious at him.
He was so surprised when he found out. He finally knew what she thought about him. So he held her hand and kissed her, on the lips, but for a short while. "I love you" he whispered. And they walked off holding hands.
But nearby, James, who is now in 7th year, saw them. He broke into a run toward the Owlery, and he ran into Albus. "Hey James, where are you going?" Albus called out. "I have to send dad an owl! Rose is dating a Malfoy!" James replied. Albus tried to stop him, but James was too fast and the owl was on it's way.
