A/N: Sorry it's kinda short and it's only my first one so please don't judge too harshly if you don't like it.

First day of Year Seven! I thought in excitement as I stepped into King's Cross Station. Hugo bolted towards platform 9 ¾ while I stayed behind, talking to Mum and Dad. At the moment, I was being crushed between my parents' loving arms as they congratulated me on my latest achievement: I was Head Girl.

"Oh Rose!" my mother said, tears in her eyes. "We are just so proud of you! I hope you know that! We-" She was cut off by Ron, my father.

"Blimey, Hermione! Understatement of the year! Our daughter is Head Girl AND the Quidditch captain for Gryffindor! We're much more than proud!" He exclaimed in his rough, yet soothing voice. Meanwhile I just rolled my eyes and grinned up at my parents.

"Cheers!" I responded before stepping through the wall into Platform 9 ¾. A few moments later, I was nearly tackled by my cousin Lily.

"Rose! You will not believe what just happened! So Ellen told me just a few minutes ago that…" I grinned at my, as always, over enthusiastic cousin as she waffled on and on about the gossip that I wasn't interested in enough to find out myself. That was before I heard his name. "...Scorpius.." I heard Lily say and suddenly I was listening.

"What?" I asked in a sudden curiosity. It wasn't because I cared the least bit about that pain in the arse, but just that I….um… Come on, Rose! Why do you care?! He's your rival!

Lily grinned at me before responding with "Scorpius is dating Eleanor Zabini as of last week, when their family got together and also…" But I didn't care beyond that point. I just rolled her eyes and scoffed. Of course he's dating that little minx. He probably couldn't get anyone better.

"Come on, Lil. Lets just get on the train." I impatiently interrupted. I quickly said goodbye to all my family before bluntly boarding the train and sliding into a car with Albus, Lily, Hugo, Hugo's friend Jack, and Scorpius who, irritatingly enough, happened to be Albus' best friend.

The sweets trolley had just come by and everyone was silent, too busy eating to talk, when I brought up the topic that had been itching in the back of my mind since we got on the train. "So… Malfoy. I heard you found yourself a new bimbo, hmm?" I raised an eyebrow up at him with a teasing look on my face. To my surprise, though it really shouldn't have been, he laughed. He made a pitiful face and sarcastically sniffled.

"And.. I see that you're still single?" He said with an odd expression in his eyes. "At least I can get myself a bimbo." He added cockily. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I hate Scorpius Malfoy. I just rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"Puh-lease. I'd rather be single than date anyone who even slightly resembled Eleanor Zabini in anyway." I retorted and he just rolled his eyes and shrugged before turning back to Albus who was slowly shaking his head in amusement, like he knew something we didn't. This was how it always went between that little ferret and I. It was always this way and it always would be. I mean, even according to my dad, ferret runs in the family.

*flashback*

Little First-Year-Rose walked into Platform 9 ¾, a look of amazement on her face and Hogwarts: A History, her new favorite book, clutched in her arms. Her eyes trailed to a boy with bleach blonde hair staring back at her. She smiled at him and he smiled back before dropping his eyes to the ground. She stared in confusion as he turned his back when her father pulled her aside and nodded to the boy's family that she now noticed was standing with him. "That is Scorpius Malfoy" Her father bent down and muttered to her, as if he didn't want mum to hear. "You make sure you beat him in EVERY test! His family is no mate of ours. Got it?" Rose thought she did. She nodded her head and he straightened up. "Well, the best of the British to you!" He grinned at her and she took one last glance at the Malfoy boy before swearing to avoid him at all costs.

*back to now*

"ROSE!" I jumped as I was jolted out of my memories by Lily shouting my name. I looked at her in bafflement, my expression reading what-the-bloody-hell-was-that-for?! She just laughed and shook her head in mild amusement. "Where do you go?" She asked and I just shrugged. "Anyway what I was saying is are you excited to be Head Girl?" Her eyes flickered to Albus as if they were sharing an inside joke, while Scorpius almost choked on the water he was drinking. He swallowed it down and looked up at me his eyes showing a mix of emotions. The only ones I could make out were disappointment, a slightly miffed look, and a look that just screamed Oh, come ON!

"What?" I asked him distractedly as I watched Albus and Lily bite back grins. Meanwhile Scorpius just sighed, put his head in his hands and muttered something that sounded like I man bed toy. "What?" I asked and he mumbled again. "Scorpius! Speak up!" I said. Before it hit me and I knew what he was going to say. "Oh no." I groaned at the same time he said "I'm Head Boy." I widened my eyes and glared at Albus. "Why didn't you tell me?" I demanded. He shrugged. Lily, being the girl she is, decided to take advantage of the situation and bring up the matter that I was dreading. "You know Head Boy and Girl almost ALWAYS end up falling in-" she was cut off by Scorpius and I both glaring at only person other than Scorpius who seemed to realize the weight of this situation was Hugo who pitifully patted my shoulder and gave me a sad look because he knew, when dad found out, he would flip.

Once we got off the train and to the great hall I headed to the Gryffindor table, happy to finally get away from Scorpius. But, on the other hand I was not away from Lily. As soon as we sat down she grinned at me and nudged me with her elbow. "Don't act like you don't know you two would be cute together!" She badgered me. I snapped my head in her direction, glared and tartly responded with, "No, Lily, I don't know that because it is not TRUE!" She rolled her eyes and continued with her absurd idea. "You might not want to acknowledge it, but you two are going to fall in love. I can feel it." I shoved her and retorted with, "Could you feel that?"

"Yes, I could thank you very much. Seriously though! I bet you two will have snogged at least once by Christmas!" She exclaimed excitedly as I widened my eyes and scolded her. I knew that the ceremony was about to start otherwise I wouldn't have been able to control my fiery temper as well as I could now. I glanced over towards the Slytherin table and saw Malfoy's eyes trained on me. I raised an eyebrow at him, he smirked at me, and then I rolled my eyes and looked away. Nice to see some things haven't changed.

"Welcome, wizards and witches, to another new year at Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagal exclaimed as cheers echoed throughout the hall. "Before we have the Sorting Ceremony I would like to introduce this year's head boy and girl, Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley!" Applause echoed through the corridor once we stood up, along with a few snickers and death glares towards me that just screamed don't you dare make him like you! I just rolled my eyes and sat down and ignored them. "Now, let the Sorting Ceremony begin!"

I walked into our common room at the same time Malfoy did to see our stuff. That's weird. Why wasn't it in our room? I glanced over at the two rooms and realized that got to choose which one we wanted. I walked up to the one on the left, peeked inside and declared that I wanted this one. Malfoy walked up to, peeked inside, and said "well, what if I want it." I gave him an irritated glare. "I chose it first. Why don't you just take the other one, I'm sure it's the same." He almost instantly snapped back with "Well, if it's the same then why don't you take it?!" "Because I chose this one before you did!" I responded with. Why is this such a big deal!? Then he smirked up at me and wiggled his eyebrows. "We could always share?" He suggested and I felt my eyes widen in shock as I held back the barf, grabbed my stuff and headed to the other room. Just as I was about to give up and come back with 'I'd rather sleep on a stone floor than with you' I decided to beat him at his own game. I hauled my stuff back to the other room and challenged, "why don't we?" He grinned and stepped closer to me. "Fine by me." It was then I realized how close we were. Two inches forward and we were touching. I was about to respond when Eleanor stepped into our common room. "Scorpius?" She asked and he backed away, still keeping his eyes trained on me. "I was just about to load my things into MY room." He said and I responded to Eleanor, " Yes, his room is the one over there." I pointed across the room and continued, "That's the one all the Head Boys stay in, this is the one the Head Girls always stay in. You wouldn't want him staying in another girl's room, would you?" She rolled her eyes at me and pulled Scorpius along with his things to the other room. "Come on, it's more... Private... here, anyways." She said. I could've sworn Scorpius rolled his eyes along with me. I pulled my stuff into my room, checked on all the girls rooms to make sure the lights were out, and laid down for bed. I wonder what would've happened if Eleanor hadn't come in. I pushed the thought out of my head and went to sleep.
