Chapter One: Cute Girl, Bad News, Wow Does My Life Just Suck (Scorpios)

Now how did this happen!

My name is Scorpios Malfoy. Malfoy! So how did this end up happening. I thought it was imposable.

I'M IN GRYFFINDOR!

"Would you just owl your father already" Rose said from the chair to the far left of the Gryffindor common room. She was reading her text book for Defense angsts the dark arts, like she needed it- so like her mother.

"Rose, don't you think that if I could- I would!" I was pacing back and forth across the fire place, it was about 11 at night and the last glowing embers were dwindling.

"Scorp- it's been a week, you'll have to tell him eventually" Rose said from behind her book- how did she read so much.

"Rosey, you know I can't" I shouted, I got some nasty looks from a group of 5th year girls who were studying in the back.

"Come sit next to me," she whispered, looking over at the group of girls seeing if they heard, she scotched to the left of the chair so I could sit. Alone she only took up about a quarter of the chair- she was small.

I sat down in the space she made on the black leather chair. Rose put her hand on my thigh. She looked up at me. "What are you afraid of" She said in a VERY sweet voice.

"Oh… I don't know, being hexed, being killed, being DISOWNED" I stood up and looked up at the group of girls who were mumbling something about studying in the morning.

"That won't happen," she stood up and put her arm on my shoulder, "You can control it as much as anyone can"

"Still…"

"Still nothing let me help you write the letter." She said calmly. I looked into her chocolate eyes- that's the first thing I noticed about her; she had her father's hair color- but her mother's hair texture, long red and bushy. Her face was pale with freckles dotting her cheeks. God was she cute.

"Fine," I finally said after I stopped staring-I think she noticed because she was blushing deeper than I thought was possible.

So after about an hour of arguing, joking, and attempted writing we were about where we started.

"I give up" I said as I slumped into the chair again, my long-ish blond hair sweeping into my face. "Besides its 12 at night, we can write it tomorrow- we have classes in the morning."

"Fine," Rose said, "but were writing it before anything else- even homework"

"Oh what a punishment" I said sarcastically, Rose stuck her tong out at me as she skipped of towards the girls dorms.

I stared until I couldn't see her anymore and then went to bed too.

=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/

I woke up to a pillow repeatedly hitting me in the face.

"Albus, cut it out" I snarled- I never liked that kid.

"Just get up" He groaned

I gave in and got dressed. After I looked into a mirror and checked my pale face for anything out of order. My blue eyes scanned my body to make sure that I was perfect- not a hair out of place.

"Trying to look good for Rosie" Albus teased.

"Shut up Potter" I snapped back, he just laughed- his red, messy hair bouncing- I really wish he didn't look so much like a Wesley because Rose was almost a perfect Wesley.

"You sound like your dad" He said calmly- mocking me. I ignored him and got ready to go to the great hall.

=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/=-/

I sat next to Rose on the Gryffindor table. She had her hair loosely pulled back over her shoulder. Albus sat across from us.

Rose and I were just talking about how we were going to write the letter to my father when a girl and a boy in our year walked over towards us and started talking to Rose; they both had curly, jet black hair. They were pale and skinny and looked sad. I assumed they were twins. Rose blushed when the boy talked to her, did they know each other?

"Maggie, John, these are my friends. That's Albus. And that is Scorpios." Rose said gesturing to us.

"Nice to meet you" I said as calmly as I could.

"You too" They said in unison- creepy.

"Do you want to sit with us" Albus asked staring at Maggie.

"Sure" Maggie giggled. She ducked under the table and popped back up next to Albus. She sat very close, very close to Albus.

"John, you can sit next to me" Rose said, suddenly all bubbly

John sat on the other side of Rose. After a bit of talking back and forth Rose and I got back to talking, and Maggie continued to flirt with Albus.

Rose and I started to write the letter to my father when the post arrived. I held my breath hoping that nothing was coming. I was wrong. I saw my father's Owl fly into the great hall and drop a letter right into a jug of water splashing everyone around us. I got a few dirty looks for that.

I picked the letter out of the jug of water but it was so badly socked that I couldn't read even who it was from, not that I didn't already know.

I stood up and took in the damage the letter had made. Me, Rose, Albus, Maggie, and John had gotten the worst of it. Good thing Rose and I didn't put our robes on yet, just our white undershirts- Which were now completely see through.

"Don't worry, I have a water drying spell" Rose announced, she then proceeded to dry everyone and everything that got socked. I then picked up my now dry and readable letter and slowly opened it.

Dear Scorpios,

I hope you had a wonderful first week at Hogwarts. I know that the first can seem overwhelming, but trust me, it will get better. I haven't gotten a letter from you yet, I don't know if it got lost or you have just been too busy to write one, but in any case I hope to hear from you soon. Also tell me what house you got put in, I do believe that it will be Slytherin, but do trust me when I say I don't care what house you got put into. Your mother is also wondering if you made any friends. I don't care as long as they have nothing to do with the Potters, or the Weasley's. Once again I hope you had a marvelous first week and your mother and I send you our love.

Sincerely, your father

Draco Malfoy

I dropped the letter. Rose immediately picked it upand started reading.

"Well… It could be a lot worse…" she said uncertain

"How, my friend and cru- you are both Potter and Wesley." I snapped back

"If it makes you feel any better, I'm not related to Harry by blood at all." She said quietly. I hugged her and she hugged me back. I stayed like that until I felt a stinging on the back of my neck and saw that John had his wand out.

"Come on," Maggie said, "We have flying lessons this morning." With that she and Albus stood up and walked out hand in hand.

Rose and I stood up at the same time and walked out quietly chattering. Even if it wasn't holding hands, I was glad to be next to Rose, but I swear I could feel Johns glare burning into the back of my neck.
