Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy had spent the last six years of their education constantly fighting. It was nothing to do with their parents. It was nothing to do with one being in Gryffindor and one being in Slytherin. The pair purely fought because they wanted to outsmart the other.

In their First Year, Scorpius was dared by his friends to throw a pumpkin pasty at a Gryffindor during the Halloween Feast. It hit Rose, who retaliated by suspending him from the ceiling of the Great Hall in front of all the students and staff with a levitation charm. In Second Year, Rose tested out a new branch of her Uncle George's tricks in her Gryffindor/Slytherin Potions lesson. Rose replaced the Slytherins' necessary porcupine quills with a combination of Potion Reversal Rods and explosives. Madam Patil was unimpressed when all of the Slytherin Second Years had to be treated for boils.

This constant series of pranks was put to an end in their fourth year, when after setting fire to the Whomping Willow the pair were lectured by Headmistress McGonagall and told to act their age. Both pupils admired Professor McGonagall and were ashamed of her disappointment.

By their sixth year, Rose and Scorpius had developed a neutral relationship. Considering that they both took the same NEWT subjects, the pair were often paired up in lessons and so had developed a civil friendship. Rose and Scorpius still found the other annoying, but had learnt to live with their rival.

"But Rose, you're going to be sharing a dorm with MALFOY for an entire year? Doesn't that bother you?"

"No, Al. It doesn't. I've worked with Scorpius before and he seems like a nice bloke to me. I don't see why you guys all have a problem with him."

"Rosie, he's a Malfoy. That is why you should have a problem with him."

"HUGO WEASLEY! You of all people should know not to judge people by who their parents are! As long as I don't have a problem with him, neither you nor Al should have a problem either."

"Congrats on getting Head Boy, mate!"

"Thanks, Lorcan. I'm a bit surprised that Albus Potter didn't get it to be honest."

"Yeah, but that would be favouritism if they had both Potter and Weasley as Heads, wouldn't it Scorp?"

"Oh yeah…. BLOODY HELL! I HAVE TO DORM WITH WEASLEY!"

"Ooooh harsh luck, mate. I'll make sure you have a nice funeral."

"Thanks for the obvious support, guys. I'm gonna need all the support I can get…"
