"Wake up…sweetie…you need to wake up now. It's the first day of your last year at Hogwarts! Hurray! Rose…really. Get up." Rose felt the rush of cold air overtake her as the warm sheets were ripped from her body. She groaned and rolled over, groping aimlessly for the sheets. "Rose, did you hear me?" Her mother buzzed like an obnoxious animal in the distance.

"Yeah, yeah I heard you." She muttered, rolling over on her side and rubbing her eyes. What she wouldn't give for another five minutes. She reluctantly climbed out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom to prepare herself for the day ahead. Her last year at Hogwarts. It was bittersweet considering the school had been her second home for her entire life. She sighed as her vision came into full balance and took in her tired face. "Well…here we go." She smiled wanly at the mirror and began to prepare for the day ahead. Her dark auburn hair was still in waves from the night before as she ran her fingers through it. She finished in the bathroom quickly and pulled a black bandage skirt and a light blue off the shoulder top on her body. Grabbing her bag and black boots, she hurdled down the stairs and into the kitchen, picking up an egg sandwich as she rushed out the door. Rose sat down on her porch and began to pull her boots on and pulled her hair up into a ponytail.

"Rose, looking as stunning as ever." She heard a coy voice shout from the right. She rolled her eyes and without bothering to look over at the person, flipped him off as she began to devour her egg sandwich. "Not playing nice today I see. No matter." The lanky boy dashed up her steps onto her front porch and planted himself next to her. She didn't glance at him until his lips were almost upon hers.

"Scorpius! Ugh can you stop being such a horn dog for once?" She groaned, pushing him away from her. "Honestly, you are dating my best friend, what twisted world are you living in that I would ever become your home wrecker?"

"Well considering that Avery and I aren't living together, you technically aren't wrecking a home. And anyway, you didn't seem to mind all that much about my dating her this summer did you?" He whispered, biting her earlobe.

"Malfoy!" Rose whispered, her hazel eyes widening. "My mother is up you idiot and that was one time and-and… you very well know that you took advantage of me in my fragile state!" She spat at her childhood friend as she got up from the porch and slid her bag over her shoulder. Scorpius just laughed, crossing his slightly muscular arms over his chest.

"Fine fine, just making sure you weren't pining after me after all of this time or anything Rose. I just care for your well being you know?" He smirked as he got up onto his feet. She began to walk away from him, but he caught up in the end. He always did. His Nike clad feet fell into time with her black boots. Rose watched as he pushed the stray pieces of blond hair that always seemed to fall into his face back towards the crown of his head. She didn't really know where she was headed; all she knew was that she had to get away from Scorpius and his annoying…boy face.

"You should probably get out of here before my father sees you…" Rose stated, not looking up at him.

"You'd think after seven years…ah well, I'll see you at the train then…gonna go meet up with Al." He smirked and Apparated on the spot. Rose looked at the spot where he disappeared with scorn. If only she could Apparate…then she wouldn't have to wait for her brother and parents.

"Hugo! For Merlin's sake! Get out here now or we will miss the train! Ron, you as well!" Her mother shouted as she came out of the door. "We'll have to Apparate now, the car will take too long." Her mom scoffed.

"Hermione…calm down." Her dad shouted as he dragged her brother Hugo through the doorway, along with their trunks. "Yes, let's Apparate alright? Here, take Hugo, I'll take Rosie." He said coming over to hug his daughter but stopped, staring at her as if she had three heads. "Rose…you aren't really wearing that are you…it's just the train ride after all…"

"Oh come off it!" Rose rolled her eyes at her dad. "I'm almost seventeen dad…I think I can pick out an outfit for myself thanks." He was still looking at her bewildered.

"Hermione…"

"Ronald! Stop worrying all right? We have to catch the train. Hugo, get your things and grab my arm." Hugo reluctantly listened to his mother and they Disapparated.

"Can't you just lengthen that skirt a smidge…" Ron started to say before Rose grabbed his arm, holding tightly onto her things.
"Dad! We have to go! NOW!" He nodded his head, still looking bewildered and they Disapparated on the spot. A few moments later, they were at King's Cross, breaking through the barrier to the Hogwarts express.

"Rose!" Her cousin Lily bounded up next to her, along with her friends Avery and Eleanor. "Let's get a car alright?" Lily grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the train. Rose hastily shouted a goodbye at her parents as she bounded up onto the train.

"Alright Weasley?" Rose heard a familiar voice shout from behind. Scorpius smirked at her and she rolled her eyes. Usually, she got along with him perfectly. They couldn't be separated. Albus always complained about how Rose stole his best friend. She told him that was because she was a girl and that automatically made her cooler than him. However, lately, Rose felt strangely when she looked at Scorpius. He wasn't the same in her eyes anymore. He was different and not in a good way.

"Sco Sco!" Avery cooed as she ran at him, her blond curls bouncing behind her. Rose, Lily and Eleanor began making gagging noises.

"What kind of name is Sco Sco?" Eleanor asked as they sat down in the empty car. Scorpius and Avery fell into the car and Rose couldn't make out whose face was whose anymore. Rose scoffed and crossed her arms across her chest. Repulsive.

"Disgusting those two." Her cousin Albus remarked as he entered the car. Albus was usually seen with his brother James, but James had left Hogwarts the year before. "Good summer then Ellie?" He asked, putting his arm around her. Rose could visibly see Ellie's face begin to grow red. She had the biggest thing for Albus.

"Y-you know, same old stuff. Normal summer at my house."

"Yeah? Rose, you and Lily have a nice time in the South of France then?"

"That was forever ago Al, but yeah. It was nice." Rose and Lily had gone down to France with their cousins Dominique and Victoire earlier in the summer. It had been the highlight of Rose's summer.

"Too true Rose. Scorpius, you ready to relinquish your grip on Avery there mate?" Albus said, whacking his best friend in the back of the head.

"Yeah, yeah you filthy hypocrite. I had to put up with your-" Albus shook his head, trying to stop Scorpius before it was too late, but unfortunately, it was too late.

"Wait, wait…what did you have to put up with Sco Sco?" Rose asked, intrigued. She knew Albus would get a kick out of the nickname and she had a strange desire to piss Scorpius off. Scorpius shot her daggers, as expected, and tried to get a word in before Albus started laughing hysterically.

"Sco Sco? SCO SCO? What kind of name is that? Oh dear me. Shall I start calling you that as well? Is this what we are calling you this year?"

"Oh shove off Albus. I think it's an adorable name." Avery smiled giving Scorpius a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah, adorable just like Roxy's Pygmy Puff. She's been looking for a good name for it come to think of it…I'll make Sco Sco a suggestion for her." Albus mused, scratching his head.

"Just come off it why don't you Bus Bus?" Scorpius shot back. Albus went white.

"Bus Bus? Al…what have you been doing this summer?" Lily asked, her eyes narrowing, searching for the gossip about her brother's summer escapades.

"Well, I, erm…Look we're almost at Hogwarts, better change into our robes!" Albus shouted. "Nice seeing you all." He dashed out of the car quickly with his robes in tow. Lily and Rose rounded on Scorpius.

"Whom has Albus been with all summer? Tell us Sco Sco." Lily demanded. Scorpius looked around at the four girls looking surrounding him, giving him their full attention.

"One, don't call me that. Only Avery can. Two, we better change." He said getting up with his things. "Adieu ladies."

"Why won't Albus tell us anything?" Lily asked as they began to change.

"She's probably a troll and he is embarrassed. Ellie, don't let it get you down." Rose stated looking over at her friend who had grown extremely quiet ever since the whole "Who's Albus' Play toy?" conversation started. Ellie just nodded and sat down with her robes on.

"Wait Rose! Aren't you Head Girl this year? Shouldn't you be helping the first years!" Avery shouted.

"Fuck, you're right…completely slipped my mind…excuse me girls." She waved goodbye to her friends and made her way down to make sure everyone was in their robes and not passing out or throwing up or anything. It was a natural occurrence; Hogwarts was sort of intimidating, even to Rose who was a Seventh Year.

Rose began to wonder who the Head Boy was as she wandered the trains corridors. Then she smacked into another body coming her way.

"Oh sor-Rose. I should have known." Rose looked up into Scorpius's face and scowled as she saw the shining Head Boy badge on his robes.

"You? Head Boy? Fan-fucking-tastic you know?" She muttered, turning around.

"Oh come on Rosie, we're friends, why are you acting so hostile?" Scorpius asked, actually sounding sincere for once. Rose rounded on him so quickly, he smacked into her again.

"You are so insufferable sometimes." She hissed poking him in the chest. She had no clue why she was so angry with him; he was just putting her off ever since he had been all over Avery in the car. Her anger was completely irrational. It was wasn't it? He just laughed at her and pulled her into a hug.

"Let's round up the First Years alright?" She muttered into his chest. He released her and they set off. Rose sighed as she glanced at Scorpius pulling the First Years out of their cars. He looked over at her and smirked again. Rose's head began to spin as she pulled more first years out of cars. She knew then and there that her last year at Hogwarts was bound to be more difficult, more exciting and more insane than it needed to be.
