Disclaimer: I just own the plot. JK Rowling owns the rest.
A/N: This chapter moves very quickly. I wanted this story to be more about the relationship not them actually getting together. I haven't seen many of them and I thought I'd have a go :) Let me know what you think so far please? :)
Rose looked over at the boy her father told her not to talk to, he was quite good looking. His name was Scorpius Malfoy and according to her father he would be a git like his father.
Professor McGonagall called her name and she walked up to the sorting hat.
"Ravenclaw!"
She smiled and made her way over to the Ravenclaw table. There was a round of applause from the table as she sat down. She looked over to her cousin Albus at the Gryffindor table, his face looked sad. He wanted them to be in the same house because they were pretty much best friends rather than cousins. She always dreamed of being in Ravenclaw, that's the house her Aunty Luna was sorted into and she always admired her. She was crazy but she was amazing.
Scorpius looked up as the girl with the red bushy hair sat down at the Ravenclaw table. She looked flustered but happy, and she looked cute as she smiled and sat down. It's was no surprise when he sat under the sorting hat thinking about her that he was also placed in Ravenclaw. His father would be furious. He wanted him to be in Slytherin for as long as he could remember. That would be a fun conversation. He sat opposite the red-head and tried to catch her eye. He'd have to work his 'Malfoy charm' on her. He held out his hand and introduced himself.
"Malfoy, Scorpius Malfoy."
"Urm, Rose Weasley."
She looked worried as she shook his hand, but he didn't think anything of it.
"Nice to meet you Rose."
The next few weeks passed and Scorpius tried again to spark up conversations with Rose, but with no results. She'd just shrug and nod. He was about to give up when finally she spoke to him in potions one day.
"Do you have to crush or slice the bean?"
He was stunned and took a while to reply.
"Um you crush it, it lets the juices out better."
"Okay, thanks." She smiled.
6 hours before:
"I don't know what to do Albus. He's been nothing but polite to me, but Dad doesn't want me to associate with him." Rose asked.
"Well, my Dad told me not to judge anyone because of the war and that they aren't their parents or grandparents." Albus answered.
"Yeah well your dad is actually reasonable unlike mine. You know what mine is like." "True." He nodded.
"Just talk to him and judge him for yourself, you won't know what he's really like unless you get to know him."
"Yeah you're right. Thanks Albus."
Each day the conversation slowly grew. Until it was full conversations all the time. They even shared secrets and private jokes. Albus even became friends with him to over time.
"Hey Rosie, what you up to?" Scorpius asked.
"Studying, as should you be." She replied.
"We all know I'm a natural genius." He winked.
"These are our fifth year exams, we need to do well. This sets us up for our future."
"I love the nerdy side of you." He said whilst kissing her neck.
"Stop distracting me, and get on with it."
It had taken him 4 years to eventually pluck up the courage to ask her out and he would never forget it. It was March the previous year, and the trio had arranged to meet in Hogsmeade. Albus told them at the last minute that he couldn't make it, so it left just Rose and Scorpius walking together along the lane to The Three Broomsticks.
"Rosie, do you ever see me as more than a friend?" He asked nervously, peeking up at her with his grey eyes.
"Uh I guess, kind of. Why?" She replied.
"I like you Rose, like like you. A lot." He rushed.
"Oh I see."
"Is that all I'm gonna get back from the most talkative girl that I know?" He joked.
"Shut up Malfoy." She said whilst closing the gap between them.
She kissed his lips softly and stepped back.
"Is that all I get? Four years I've been waiting for that, and that's it?" He laughed.
She looked a little hurt, and he realised she had taken that the wrong way. He grabbed her and pulled her back to him, and kissed her with a sense of urgency. At first she was shocked, but then eventually she got a hold of herself and kissed him back. She had also waited four years, and she made sure he knew that with this kiss.
Now a year on, they were still together. Despite many people being against the relationship, they got through it. Many people even came round to it after they realised it wasn't just a fling.
"Earth to Scorpius!?" Rose was waving her hands in front his face.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" He asked.
"It's a muggle term for when someone spaces out and isn't listening."
"Oh sorry, I was just thinking."
"Oh what about?"
"Us."
"Oh. All good I hope." She replied sheepishly.
"Of course," He hugged her. "I wish you wouldn't always assume that I'm always thinking something bad."
"Sorry." She kissed his neck from where he had moved her onto his lap. "I love you." She breathed between kisses.
"I love you to Rose, now get on with your work before you get even more distracted."
"Maybe I want to be distracted?" She teased.
"Yeah right, the great Rose Weasley not wanting to study. I'll believe it when I see it."
She manoeuvred herself round so that her legs were wrapped round his waist. She leant leant over and kissed from the bottom of his neck right up to his ear and whispered to him.
"I'm ready Scorpius."
