"Weasley, Rose."

Rose Weasley, first year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry almost jumped at finally hearing her name. She was one of the last students called to be sorted into their house that they would be spending the rest of their time at Hogwarts with. Her cousin Albus had already been sorted (Gryffindor!). It had been no surprise to Rose that Al had made it into Gryffindor. She only hoped that she would join Albus, he was the cousin she was the closest to, mostly because they were the closest in age (with her only being a few months older).

She looked out at the mass of students all staring at her, waiting for her to make her way to the stool where the Sorting Hat would be placed on her head and she would be sorted into her Hogwarts family. She looked at the Gryffindor table and saw Albus sitting next to James, both of them giving her encouraging smiles. Victoire and Dominique smiled from the Hufflepuff table, while Louis was hurriedly shushing his friends at the Ravenclaw table. Rose watched as Molly gave Louis a tap on the arm so that he would pay attention to his cousin. All the Weasleys and Potters were accounted for waiting intently for Rose's verdict.

But there was one pair of eyes watching her from the Slytherin table that Rose did not lock eyes with. Scorpius Malfoy looked at Rose with fascination. The Weasley girl that was his age, his father had told him. His father had also told him about the Potter boy his age. But he didn't understand what the big deal was about them. His father always told him that the past was in the past and that the war was over and it didn't need to be re-lived everyday.

"Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat announced. Rose leapt from the stool and bounded down the stone steps to join Albus and James as they cheered for her.

After a few more students were sorted, including "Zabini, Britney!" (Slytherin!) the feast was well underway. Rose barely took notice of the Malfoy boy at the Slytherin table even though her father had pointed him out at the train station. She barely thought of him at all actually.

Scorpius took little mind of the Weasley girl after that Sorting ceremony. She had been sorted into Gryffindor, and he thought it would be unlikely they would ever speak considering he was in Slytherin. She was no matter to him, and he was no matter to her. They were just two students in Hogwarts like any other.

6 Years Later

"Al," Rose said to her cousin as they found a compartment on the Hogwarts Express to sit in for their last September trip to Hogwarts. "We better make this year one to remember. Everyone always tells us that Hogwarts should be the greatest part of our lives, yet so far I've failed to see the greatness that everyone talks about."

"You don't like Hogwarts?" Albus questioned his cousin as he sat down, throwing his legs up and his arms behind his head.

"I like Hogwarts, I love it even. I just feel like we need to do something outstanding that will let us remember this year specifically. You know, I can remember third year and fifth year pretty well because we pulled those amazing pranks, but first year and second year fall pretty flat and I can remember is blur of classes… I'm not letting my seventh year become a blur." Rose smiled her infamous mischievous Weasley smile.

"I know that look," Albus said, "What did you have in mind?"

"I have a plan. I've learned a little family secret from your dear older brother, and I plan on using it to our advantage to throw the best parties every month. We are going to be the most respected people in school." Rose started to explain her plan to throw parties in the allegedly non-existent Room of Requirement.

Harry had told his oldest son about the Room of Requirement when James was in his fifth year. James looked for it for a long time, and when he finally found it most of the room was severely burnt and could not change itself all the way. It took James two years, but he finally got the room in working order, unfortunately too late to use it for anything major himself.

He confided about the Room to Rose because she was the oldest Weasley or Potter, and James was very big into tradition, the tradition being the knowledge of the Room's secret and inner working to the oldest member of the family. When this year was over, Rose would hand over all the secrets to Lily, who was older than Molly and Hugo who were in the same year as her .

"So, one party per month? I think that sounds doable… You know how to work the room well enough so only the people who are invited can see the room?" Albus asked.

"Yes, James explained everything. I was thinking we would invite only the 7th years, of all houses, and their respective guests, but definitely no one under 5th year." Rose said.

Albus nodded in agreement. Rose smiled as her plans for the year were beginning to come together. The compartment door suddenly opened to reveal Al's and Rose's best friends. One of them, Sean Finnegan, also happened to be Rose's boyfriend.

Albus gagged as Sean swooped down to give Rose a kiss on the lips, he wasn't too fond of his best friend and his cousin dating. He just knew it was a bad idea the minute it started.

"Oh give it a rest," said Alice Longbottom. Alice, Professor Longbottom's daughter, was Rose's closest friend, although it had never helped either of them with their marks in Professor Longbottom's Herbology class. "My dad said if he catches you snogging again he's going to have to give you more than a warning, perhaps even detention he said!"

"Oh, he doesn't mean it," Rose laughed.

"Rose!" her name was being called from the hallway. It was Hugo.

She poked her head out of the compartment to see Hugo sauntering down the hallway holding- oh dear God, Rose was mortified.

"Hugo! What are you doing!" she raced out into the hallway and grabbed for the item, but Hugo, taking after their father, was much taller than Rose and his arms were much longer. The commotion the two were making caused a few students to stick their heads out of their compartment to see what was going on.

"Dad said you must have dropped this on the way to the car, and he didn't want his little Rosie Posie to be afraid of the dark because she didn't have Mr. Snugglykins," Hugo said all of this much louder than he needed to in order to inflict the most embarrassment he could to Rose.

"Shut up!" Rose said and leaped again to grab Mr. Snugglykins (a stuffed animal pygmy puff) from Hugo's hand.

Hugo loved embarrassing his older sister, and he took the chance anytime he could, he couldn't help it, he was a little brother. "What? You don't want people to know that up until you were thirteen you couldn't sleep without Mr. Snuggly and a torch under your pillow?" He grinned his Weasley grin at her.

Rose glared, "I was 12," she hissed, making another jump for her stuffed animal.

"Oh, sorry then, until you were twelve." Hugo lowered his arm just enough for Rose to get the object of her mortification.

"Thanks a lot, prat," Rose said as Hugo started to walk away, his fun torturing his sister over, for now.

"You're the one who said you wanted this year to be memorable, I've just assured that it will be." Hugo called back to her as he walked into the next train car with his friends.

"Ugh," Rose muttered to herself as she turned to go back into her compartment, away from the now snickering audience of the hall.

As she was turning her eyes briefly caught the grey eyes of a Scorpius Malfoy, who was grinning at the events that had just occurred.

She gave him a quick glare and re-entered the compartment. "Like the show?" she asked her friends.

"Now we'll definitely get people to come to our party," Albus said, but Rose couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not. But one thing she did know, at least this year was proving to be eventful if nothing else so far.

A/N: Hi, it's been a while since I've written HPFF but there is story about Rose and Scorpius that I want to be told that I just can't seem to find, so I'm going to write it. I don't know quite where this is going yet... but I know it's going to be rated M, but for now it will be T as this chapter is fine.

Next chapter we're going to get to see a lot more of Scorpius and things from his perspective. (Although the whole story will be in third person).

Let me know what you think!

Thanks,

Emma

Also! If anyone has title ideas that would be awesome! (The one I chose for now is really just a placeholder!)
