The Serpent and the Rose's Secret
Chapter 1: The Promise
My family had known the known the Malfoy's for years, my Uncle Harry had been enemies with Draco a since his first day at Hogwarts, when my uncle refused his offer of friendship. Draco Malfoy had attempted to kill Albus Dumbledore the headmaster of Hogwarts during their 6th year at Hogwarts. In the end it was the potions teacher, Professor Snape- who Harry and his friends had never cared for-. Lucius Malfoy father of Draco Malfoy was a death eater, loyal to the dark lord Voldemort who is now demised, thanks to my mum, dad, and uncle harry and other family members.
The Malfoy's were stuck up rich pure bloods who hated half-bloods like my mum Hermione Granger at the time. Any ways were we ah oh yes my uncle harry. Harry James Potter, I love him to death, he has always been there for me when I couldn't go to my parents for advice.
Don't get me wrong I love both my parents very much, Ron and Hermione Weasley, so when my family warned me to stay away from Scorpius Malfoy, I promised I would, of course I had no idea what was ahead of me. The first year was tough, I will admit, Scorpius and I competed in everything at Hogwarts, just like my mother and his father did when they attended Hogwarts.
Oh how silly of me, my name is Rose Weasley I am 17 years old and very bright like my mother, and my uncle's deceased mother Lilly Potter. Not only am I the brightest witch of my age, but I am also the toughest girl in my year. I guess it runs in the family, red heads are aggressive and easily angered, well at least my family is.
I got the anger and tough skin from my father- though mum did tell me dad could be a pansy when it came to spiders-and the wit from my mum. At the beginning Scorpius and I were sworn enemies; I called him by his surname. Malfoy always teased me to no end, and he constantly called my Book Worm and Red, because like my father I let my temper get the best of me, you know what they say like father like daughter.
One day however he pissed me of so much that I broke his bloody nose, this was in our third year, and my mum did that to his dad in 3rd year as well. Things remained the same for the two of us for us for a while; I was fine with that, I just wished he would just fall off the face of earth. I loved Hogwarts though, all my cousins and even my brother was there.
James, Al, and Lilly Potter, were Uncle Harry's and Aunt Ginny's Children. Victoire, Dominique, and Louis Weasley were Uncle Bill's and Aunt Fleur's Children. Dom and Al were my best friends, out of all of my cousins. Of course then there's my annoying little brother Hugo, and then there was Teddy Lupin, son of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, unfortunately both his parents died in the battle of Hogwarts, but Harry was his godfather.
Teddy was a sweet boy I never saw him as family because of the crush I had developed on him in my first year he was just like his parents according to mum and dad. Of course Teddy Lupin did not notice the awkward bookworm with freckles all over her face, and treated like one of the boys because she had tough skin.
Alas when I turned 16 I no longer was one of the boys, I was a young lady, graceful and beautiful like my Aunt Ginny. I suddenly noticed the feminine change, my fiery red hair that once was like a lioness, was now tamed into frizz free curls. My face that was once covered with freckles was much clearer, although I still had freckles, but they were no longer huge ugly spots but no longer noticeable, they defined my beauty.
I guess after my good looks, I became the girl you wanted to be and the girl you wanted to date, because I already had a heart of gold that my friends adored, I guess that's how I ended up in the mess I'm in currently. Suddenly I wasn't the girl who you were afraid would beat you up, or the girl that you asked for help in class, I was not just the girl who was a beast at quidditch-thus earning me my role as quidditch captain-I was a girl who suddenly had a line of handsome suitors at her door.
James was not too excited when he saw the young woman his cousin was becoming, Hugo my little brother was just as bad, they threatened guys if they ever so much as approached me for anything besides quidditch or homework. Well it gets worse this was around the time when even scorpius Malfoy-my sworn enemy since I got ready to board the Hogwarts express- started to even look at me different, the grey eyes once so cold had some light in them when he flashed me smirks-which he got from his father according to mum and dad-he was even nicer than usual, it was odd.
However he also started to talk closer to me and when he pissed me off he would get all up in my face like he was going to kiss me, but he never did. Ok so I'm not going to lie and say that Scorpius Malfoy is not attractive, because he is, he's very sexy, but his arrogance and prissy little attitude is a turn off.
I guess it all started when I started to date the boy I thought I was in love with, Teddy Lupin. We went for a midnight stroll one night thinking it would be fine, (I also gained breaking the rules from my uncle and dad, unlike my mum who was against breaking a tiny rule), teddy and I had been dating for 3 month and we were rather found of one another, anyways as were coming face, next to her stood Scorpius with that stupid smirk plastered to his face, I wish I could of gave him a black eye. But unfortunately that would not go over to well with McGonagall.
Teddy of course being his gallant self took the blame and was to be suspended from Hogwarts for a month. Before he left he gave me a kiss and his hair turned pink which meant he was in love-he inherited his hair changing colors from tonks-and then he pulled apart and left brushing my tears away, I held back tears threatening to fall, and planned my revenge.
As soon as McGonagall disappeared I followed Scorpius to his dorm where I tackled him to the ground, preparing to pummel him with my fists.
"My Rosie you sure are a feisty one aren't you?"
"You! How could you Malfoy? I loved him and because you had to be a snitch he's suspended, are you happy now! What were you jealous that I was happily in love with a boy you couldn't stand, jeez Malfoy your so ignorant."
"Yeah I was jealous".
I looked at him confused and shocked why he was joking around like this. He stepped closer to me breathing his hot breath on my face; I was even more confused than before. He leaned in like he was about to kiss me, and I felt my eyes become cloudy as they started to drift shut, but he never kissed me, he pulled away smirking, and the pissed me off even more, he left me taken back by his odd actions.
