Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy hate each other. So when they get into huge trouble with the Ministry of Magic and receive their punishment (four weeks together in Muggle London with no magic) they're extremely angry. How will they get through the month?

My first fanfic, so please read and review!

Chapter One:

The first sentence was bad. "No magic." The second was worse. "For four weeks." And with the third sentence, my life crumbled. "For the duration of this punishment, you, Rose Weasley, and you, Scorpius Malfoy, will be residing together in a small house on the outskirts of Muggle London."

My jaw dropped. What? Scorpius looked as horrified at this decision as I did. "But it was her fault!" he repeated for the fourth time during that hearing. "Oh, give it a rest, Malfoy," I muttered out of the corner of my mouth.

Then, louder, I added, "Your Honor, surely we can serve our punishment without having to occupy the same living space." "The court has doled out its punishment." The gavel sounded. "Now, leave."

Scorpius looked like a three-year-old who just found out that Santa had died. Then, he sprang into action, pacing the emptying room and muttering under his breath about how he would sooner kill himself than live with me for an entire month without magic. After that, he started blaming me, once again, for the whole incident.

I zoned out at that point, sure whatever tale he recounted would be much different than what actually happened…

It was the last Hogsmeade trip of the term, so everyone went. My best friends, Bonnie Lovegood, Lily Potter and Louis Weasley (no, not my brother: my cousin) and myself were just exiting Madame Rosmerta's when a horrible, smooth and silky voice interjected, "Oh, my God. You actually found three people willing to hang out with you, Weaslette? What, are you blackmailing them?" I spun around to face Scorpius Malfoy, his girlfriend of the day, Lacey Bulstrode

"That's your thing, not mine, Malfoy," I sneered. He raised a cool eyebrow. "I do no such thing to acquire companions, a skill which you seem to lack." "Why do you torment me?" I asked, shaking my head. "I'm sorry, you don't quite seem to understand who's tormenting who here." Malfoy smirked. "Unless I'm holding up a mirror, I'm the only one between the two of us with a clear view of your face…if you can call it that."

"Well, aren't you lucky?"

"Lucky? Are you kidding me? Not all girls are like Bonnie, Malfoy."

"Who's Bonnie?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Oh, yeah. I didn't like her too much."

"That's obvious. How long did she last? Ten seconds?

"Twenty, twenty-five minutes?" I rolled my eyes in disgust.

"Just enough time to hit and run, huh?"

"You know me so well. Of course, it was much more…pleasurable than getting hit by a car. Not that you would know."

Before I could stop myself, my left leg swung up in a roundhouse kick and cracked across his face.

He stumbled back a few steps, shaking his head, bewildered, and feeling his jaw. "You're right!" I shot back. "I wouldn't know! Because in your case, I'd rather get hit by a car!" "Did you just kick me?" Malfoy demanded, his eyes flaring in anger. "Tell me you aren't that stupid," I scoffed. And that's when the trouble started.

Malfoy whipped out his wand at the same time I did. "Expelliarmus!" I shouted right away. Uncle Harry had taught me that this was a much more valuable spell than most people gave it credit for. However, this time it didn't help me as Malfoy had already shot his spell. I didn't catch what it was, but it couldn't be g ood. I put up a Shield just in time, and it rebounded.

I couldn't think of a single spell that I could send at Malfoy that would help this situation and not direly injure him (not out of affection, but out of fear of being expelled). Keeping my Shield up as he sent curses over my way, I scuffled over to Lily, Louis and Albus. "Get his freaking wand!" I shouted at them. They whipped out their own and yelled, "Expelliarmus!"

Uh-oh, was my first thought. The combined strength of the spell countered Malfoy's spell and knocked him flat on his back. He wasn't unconscious, though, so I decided it was okay to continue fighting with him.

I sprinted over and kicked him in the ribs. "What is wrong with you?" I screamed, slapping his face as Lacey tried to pull me off of her boyfriend. Malfoy sat up a bit and punched me in the stomach. I bent over at the waist, wincing. Lacey grabbed me and shoved me…closer to Malfoy.

I pretended to faint, falling on him. "Crap," I heard him mutter, sitting up all the way. Then, my eyes flew open and I punched him…well, where it hurts. "You bitch!" he hissed at me, clutching his groin. He crawled over to his wand and shoved it back into his robe. Stupidly, I turned my back to deal with Lacey, and he yanked it out, sending a silent spell at me.

Then, I felt searing pain in my arm and looked down to see a section of it had been neatly carved out. "This is gonna ruin my whole day," I muttered, glaring at a very pale Malfoy. "Shit, shit, shit, shit," he repeated, running forward to catch me as I passed out.

A/N Next chapter should be up soon! by the way, that last line ('this is gonna ruin my whole day') is from Avatar (Grace after getting shot) so fyi I don't own that either. :)

Reviewers make my day and get cyber cookies! (You know you want to...) flames are okay, as long as they're productive and not just mean. doesn't that button look tempting?
