Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter
I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a while. Here's a new story I've started. I hope you like it. I do have a few more chapters to it.
A Break To Remember
It was Easter holiday for the students of Hogwarts. Scorpius Malfoy lounged outside his best friend, Albus Potter's house. It was a quiet spring afternoon. Usually the whole Weasley clan was over. He enjoyed the unusual peacefulness.
"Scorp."
He looked up to see Albus.
"What's up?" Scorpius asked.
"I was going to ask you if you'd like to go to Rose's house."
Albus had been Scorpius' best friend from day one at Hogwarts. Even though both of their parent's didn't like it, they couldn't stop their kids from choosing friends. Rose Weasley was also apart of their friendship. They were the new closest trio. None of them were seen without the other. Although, they did have their arguments and disagreements, they couldn't stay mad at each other for too long.
"No thanks Al," Scorpius replied, waving him off with a hand.
"Please Scorp."
"Al, Rose is just not fun anymore. She used to be this big ball of energy. She's lost it. I can't stand it. I mean, we've grown apart. You have to admit that," Scorpius said frowning.
"I will admit it. She'll listen to you though. Not me. I miss our old Rosie too. Why don't you go talk to her?" Albus pleaded.
It was their seventh year and all Rose did now was study. Scorpius missed the Rose he had once known. The one that would get dirty playing Quidditch, the that would yell at him to be quiet in the library, and most of the all, the one who listened to him. She had lost all of that. She quit the Gryffindor Quidditch team. She would still yell at him in the library, but a smile never played on her lips after.
"I can try Al. She'll probably just shoo me off." Scorpius stood up. "I'll meet you back here in an hour. Possibly sooner."
Albus nodded.
Scorpius closed his eye's an concentrated on Hermione and Ron Weasley's house. He was sucked into lung squeezing darkness. When he opened his eye's he saw Rose's house. Scorpius walked up to the front door and knocked.
"Scorpius!" exclaimed Hermione Weasley. "What a surprise. We haven't seen you around here in a while." She engulfed him in a hug.
"Nice to see you too Mrs. Weasley," Scorpius smiled. "I was wondering if Rose was around?"
"She's in her room. You can go up if you'd like." Hermione stepped back as Scorpius entered.
"Thanks, I think I will." He walked to the stairs and up. The first door on the left was hers. The door was open, but he still knocked.
She turned around. "Oh, it's you," she simple said, turning back to the desk she was seated at.
Scorpius surveyed her room. It was painted a pale blue. A big poster of the Chudley Cannons Quidditch team hung on the wall, along with pictures of him and Al. Her queen size bed was in the corner with a white comforter that had little blue flowers on it.
"Hello Rose. How have you been?" Scorpius asked, making up for her greeting.
"What are you here for?"
Scorpius closed her door and sat down on her bed.
"Al and I miss you. Come on Rosie. You have to take a break from studying. Your birthday's tomorrow. I don't want you to be locked up here all day."
"In case you haven't noticed Scorp, N.E.W.T.s are very important to me."
"I do realize. They're important to me too. You don't see me locked up everyday of my life though. In fact, I want it to be just you and me for your birthday."
She looked at him thinking.
Scorpius hoped she would agree.
"Fine. I'll take a break," she said, breaking the silence.
He smiled at her. "Thank you Rosie. Meet me at Al's tomorrow. Does nine sound good?"
"Nine it is," she agreed. "See ya Scorp."
"Bye Ro." He stood up and gave her a hug.

So, you're taking her out?" Albus asked, later that night. "Where?"
Scorpius shrugged. "I really don't know Al. You're her cousin. What should I do? I want it to be something special."
Albus pondered this question.
The night air blew. The two boys sat on Al's roof.
"How about a picnic?" he suggested. "Rose really likes the outdoors. She hasn't been outside in a while."
"That's brilliant Al!" Scorpius exclaimed.
"I have my moments Scorp," Albus reminded him with a grin.
The sun sank below the horizon. Night was upon them.
So, what did you think? Review!
