Chapter 1 – Dads Suck
Rose Weasley was sitting in the Head's dorm in a huff when the she heard the door open. Looking around she saw her best friend and Hogwarts' Head Boy Scorpius Malofy standing there with his arms outstretched so she had not choice but to run into his waiting arms. He picked her up, wrapping her legs around his waist and walked them over to the big comfy sofa beside the fire, before sitting down and stroking her back.
Angry tears rolled down her face, staining Scorpius' black shirt and for a second she felt a bit guilty but then decided he would just have to deal with it. She was pissed and he was the only person who could make it better, like he always did, whether someone was making fun of her or she just felt miserable, Scorpius was always there.
The two of them were best friends, virtually inseparable. Except during the holidays.
They were probably the only students in Hogwarts who hated the summer but it was not their own decisions to be apart during the holidays, it was their parents'.
Rose had the same argument with her father every summer, trying to convince him that Scorpius wasn't like Draco was when they all went to school, however she was always fighting a losing battle. Ron refused to let them get 'too close'.
Once Rose had calmed down, he brushed her cheeks with the tips of his pale, soft fingers, making her tears disappear.
"So, I guess your dad was being a dick again?" he asked. She gave a small smile and nodded.
"He gave me this big lecture on abstinence and virtue and wouldn't shut up about how teenage boys are all mongrels." she told him. He nodded.
"Yeah. We are."
She pulled back and gave him a stern frown.
"I mean, he totally has no right to say that to you. He hasn't got a say in what – or who – you chose to do." he backtracked. She chuckled lightly.
In years to come, he would admit that this was the moment he fell in love with Rose Weasley. She was just sitting on his lap, in an extremely baggy jumper (which he was sure once belonged to him), her hair escaping her hair band, no make-up and the tracks left from her tears. She was still beautiful to him.
"Look. I have an idea." Scorpius announced. Rose looked up with a raised eyebrow.
"Ummm, okay." she said slowly. Scorius' ideas were always extremely dangerous and never really ended well.
"Why don't we pretend to date!" He exclaimed. Rose burst out laughing, then looked at his frowning face.
"Oh shit. You're serious."
