Disclaimer : I don't own Harry Potter.

Rose Weasley took it to heart to hate the whole Malfoy Family. Why? Because he father told her to beware of them and said they were a wicked bunch. He forbade her to associate with them, although Hermione Jean Granger Weasley, her mother wouldn't agree with it. Still, she hated him passionately even without ever meeting him. Already, in her heart and mind, he was her enemy, one she must always defeat. That was how things started for her at 11 when her letter from Hogwarts came.

So it was why on her first bumping into him in Florish and Blotts, she hated his smile, thinking it was a twisted and deformed one. One she couldn't stand him with all the those prejudices her father gave her of him. Of course she hated him. It was why hen he greeted her nonchalantly :

"Hi, I'm Scorpius Malfoy, you must be Rose Weasley."

She took it as an insult. "How dare he say myname?" She thought it an insult the mere fact that he mentioned her name. Of course, she didn't reply back to his greeting and walked passed by him without so much as glancing at him. She didn't care about how he felt at that time. She rushed out of the store and talked to her cousin Lucy Weasley :

"Look Lu, I met Malfoy in Florish and Blotts." She said, flushed.

"Oh you poor thing, did he do anything to you at all?"

"He just said : "Hi I'm Scorpius Malfoy, you must be Rose Weasley.""

"How charming must his voice been!"

"Lu, are you out of your mind? Just the thought of him mentioning makes my skin crawl."

"Oh come off it, I'm sure you're in love with him already. Isn't he handsome?"

"I think Lu, that you're the one in love with him, not me. I hate him!" She yelled that last bit.

"Who do you hate?" That was Roxanne chiming in.

"A certain blond." answered Rose Weasley.

"Oh, it's Scorpius Malfoy, he greeted her, and she flushed." said firmly Lucy.

"Oh, in fact, you do you like him, don't you?" teased mercilessly Roxanne.

"No I don't, I hate him." She denied pridefully.

"That's what you say, but your heart might desire otherwise." both said in unison without shame.

Little did they know was that Scorpius Malfoy was eavesdropping intently in. "Why did Rose Weasley hate me? Did I do anything wrong?" Because he wanted to the reason why she hated him so much, he listened more from his corner. He could hear every word they said to themselves.

"Well, why do you hate him anyways? What's he done to you?" asked Lucy again.

"Did you forget everything his father's done to dad and mum at school?" asked Rose Weasley.

"But that's got nothing to do with him, right dear cousin?"

"Yes, that's got everything to with him." She said stubbornly.

"Whatever, let's go get an ice cream at Florean Fortescue." proposed Roxanne, Rose's savior.

Scorpius Malfoy felt sad they were gone, but he was determined to find out what his father did to her parents to know why she hated him so. Nobody told him about it at home, neither did his friends nor family. It bewildered him. Just then, Nott and Zabini were on their way to him, and teased him :

"What are you staring at so blankly?" asked Nott teasingly.

"Nothing, nothing." He replied simply.

"I'm sure there was something interesting for you, if not, why would stare at the same spot for half and hour?"

"Half an hour already?"

"Yeah". This was Zabini.

"Let's get some shopping done, all right guys?" proposed Scorpius Malfoy.

"You sure there was nothing interesting?"

"Nothing, let's go." He answered hastily.
