::::Rose Weasley:::

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;

Rose could still picture the day she met Scorpius Malfoy quite clearly in her head, but she hadn't known who he was then. His striking blonde hair and pale skin had struck her when she was eight years old, and still did. She thought he was breath-takingly handsome now though, not different to a lot of girls.

Balls had always been exceedingly boring to Rose, and still were to a certain extent, so she had been immensely bored that night. The ball was the same as every year, so she didn't understand why they went every year.

But they did, without fail.

Her mother and father seemed to like the balls. The annual ball that was held every year in May as celebration that 'Voldemort' was gone. Rose had heard stories of the man, but her family usually didn't talk about it with the children. Even Victoire said she didn't know what happened, but Rose was highly suspicious that she was just saying that under her mothers orders.

Dominique definitely didn't know, because if she did, Rose would know by now. Dom was an insatiable gossip-- but Rose loved her anyway. Dom was in fourth year, Gryffindor. There were often quarrels between her and Roxanne, they didn't get along well, or in their words they 'hated each other with a fiery passion'.

Dominique (and Molly) had always had a crush on Scorpius, and still says it anytime he comes up in conversation. The men at the table usually glare at her, while the women laugh. Some agree. For example, Lucy. Lucy Weasley was nothing like her father really, she and Percy were rather different. Lucy lived in Dominique's shadow and they were rarely seen without the other. Lucy was a very quiet, shy girl though, while Dominique was loud, fiery and a complete flirt.

Scorpius wasn't really interested in Dominique though, or at least Rose hoped so. The day they had met was still fresh in her mind, even though it was eight years ago. She hadn't known who he was then though, but even if she did, she wouldn't have recognised the name. After all, she was an oblivious eight year old. She and Albus had taken to the blonde boy instantly though..

The young girl wore a sullen expression as she followed her mother around the room, wishing she was anywhere but here. Even a Quidditch pitch would do at this point. Albus would be overjoyed, the girl thought. A library or cinema would be more to her tastes though. Spotting her cousin Albus in the far distance, she tapped her Mother's arm. "Mum," She called to Hermione, "Can I go over to Albus?"

Hermione turned, "Oh.. I don't know Rose, you two always get into such trouble together."

"We'll be angels Mummy." Rose promised as she put on her best 'angelic' smile. She saw her Uncle Harry look up and nod to Hermione. "That means yes?"

"Go on." Hermione sighed, "And if you see your father, tell him not to let Hugo go over to Lily, the place will be in ruins."

Rose ignored her mothers requests though, and ran over to Albus. He was running towards her as well though, and they both crashed into each other before they could stop. Instead of crying or moaning though, they burst out laughing.

"Hi Rose!" Albus greeted, holding out a hand to help her stand up.

"Hey Al! Thanks." she grasped his hand and stood, tempted to pull him down -- but didn't, they would just attract attention.

"So, watcha wanna do? My Dad is drinking fire whiskey!" Al exclaimed.

"Hehe, Harry is always so funny when he's drunk. I don't think my Mum will though.. Dad might, but not Mum." They both sighed. "We can find something fun to do anyway though!" Rose told him.

"Let's play hide and seek." He suggested, excitement shining in his jade eyes.

"Yeah! Shotgun not on!" She laughed as she heard Albus groan loudly -- but she was already running for a hiding place.

She sat underneath the buffet table, her hand held over her mouth to stifle her giggles -- even though people were talking and laughing all around her and music was being played by a band. A galleon rolled underneath the table and stopped beside her, she glanced at it nervously, wondering who had dropped it. If one of her relatives found her under here she was going to be in big trouble. Her big purple dress that her mother had bought her was dirty at this point, having sitting on the ground. The dress was lovely, Rose had to admit, it made he feel like a princess. It was dark purple and 'poofy' as Rose liked to describe it.

A small, pale hand reached under the table, obviously searching for the coin. Rose froze as the hand inched closer and closer to her. It landed on her knee, and Rose jerked away suddenly. The hand was quickly pulled out from underneath the table and a boy poked his head under.

"Who are you?" he asked bluntly, "and what are you doing underneath a table?"

Seeing the boy was her age, Rose relaxed. "My name is Rose. What's yours?"

"Sc--" the boy hesitated, "Leo.. Are you hiding?"

"Yes. My cousin is looking for me.. He'll find me if you keep sitting there!"

"Too late.." Leo said in mock sadness as he watched a black-haired boy approach them.

"Caught ya' Rosie!" He said happily, helping her out from under the table. "What's your name?" He asked Leo curiously.

"Leo." The boy responded automatically this time. Now out of the darkness of the table, Rose noticed he had golden blonde hair and stone grey eyes, she thought his eyes were very pretty.

"Would you like to play with us?"

The fateful question that had them playing all night. She, 'Leo' and Albus had played for hours on end, even Molly joined in for a while and she was a year older. Albus would later deny that night and forever loathe Scorpius, to Rose's confusion and anger. Molly would pine for Scorpius, too.

The four had played for hours while their parents chatted.

The had gotten bored eventually though, and that's what spurred them to steal their parents wands. Rose smiled wryly, she had gotten into so much trouble when they arrived home..

"What do we do now? We've played every game in the book!" Al complained.

"Molly's gone to play with James now! What could we do.." Rose mused.

Leo tilted his head, "We could do some magic."

"Magic? But we haven't any wands." Rose countered.

"We could take our parents!" Al suggested, obviously wanting to do it.

"My mother wouldn't notice if I took hers.. My father would though."

"Is your father not nice?" Rose asked Leo.

"He is. He just always notices things… it's hard to explain. Like if I tip him, he'll know it's me."

"Well, anyone could do that."

Leo sighed frustratingly, "Doesn't matter. Anyway, are we going to do it?"

"I'm definitely in!"

"Sure…"

So it hadn't been Rose's idea at all to steal her Dad's wand that night, but she still got into trouble. She would hardly sell out the other two either. Scorpius had later informed her later (Much, much later.. 6 years later) that he hadn't even gotten punished. His father simply smirked and his mother told him not to do it again.

Lucky prat.

She had been grounded for months, taken away all television privileges and disallowed to play with her 'muggle' electronic toys for weeks. Her and Al were also not allowed alone together for weeks afterwards, but it wore off soon enough.

Albus and Rose were the best of friends, even in their sixth year the two are friends, yet there is tension between them -- Rose never really figured out why.

Albus never attempted to befriend Scorpius though, heeding his fathers warning much too literally. Rose tried to befriend him, but Scorpius teased her a lot. They eventually became friends in third year, along with Brooke and Lorcan, and became closer with each year that passed. Albus never did though, and that was why Rose never told him. He was much too prejudiced, despite claiming to be different to James and his Dad.

Albus, to the surprise of everyone, was sorted into Slytherin though. He had asked the hat to, he said he wanted to change the house. He also wanted to step out of his fathers and brothers shadows, because, well, they were big shadows. He managed it though, Harry Potter's son in Slytherin wasn't something that was brushed under the carpet. No, it was broadcast all over newspapers before Rose's Mum told them to grow up and that it was only a house.

Rose loved her Mum.

Rose herself had been sorted into Ravenclaw, something that most of her family had been expecting. Scorpius was also in Ravenclaw, another headline-grabber. It wasn't a shock really though, because he wasn't his father and he was very intelligent.

Rose's best friend, Brooke Bell, said it was funny how people thought houses made a person when there's hundreds of people in one house. Brooke was a fun, chatty girl who had struck up a friendship with Rose in first year. The two are the closest of friends and are never separated. (Except when forced.)

Rose sat down at the Ravenclaw table for breakfast. As a sixth year, she was guaranteed a space no matter what time she arrived to breakfast at. All the younger years immediately moved when she walked towards a section of the table.

She tied her long, red hair up in a bobbin and contemplated what to have for breakfast,

"Hey red, what's up?" Lorcan Scamander asked from the seat across from her.

Rose shrugged a shoulder, "Nothing much. Have you seen blondie this morning?"

"Nope. Last time I checked, she was meeting Mark Lion this morning. Remember that long speech? She wanted to make James jealous or something."

"He's mad about her without jealousy," Rose rolled her eyes. Brooke and James had been doing a dance the past two years now, neither making a move yet both flirting and yearning for each other. It was pathetic, in Rose's opinion.

Brooke had been nicknamed 'Blondie' by Lorcan, whilst Scorpius called Rose 'Red'. Eventually, everyone called the two 'Blondie' and 'Red'.

Rose didn't really mind though, it wasn't the worst nickname.

"Yeah, he's whipped." Lorcan sighed. "What class are you in now?"

"I'm in Divination!" Brooke chirped as she sat down next to Rose, "Trelawney said we would be doing something real today."

"Real in Trelawney's terms is looking into a glass ball. Diviniation is such a doss subject.."

"Yes, I agree, Rosie."

"Shut up, Spencer." She snapped.

"Hey baby, no need to get so angry." He sat down next to her and slung his arm around her shoulders, "I'm just admiring your beauty and intelligence."

"Spence, you seriously need to get a girlfriend."

He looked at Brooke and mock sighed, "Oh, I know."

She laughed, "I'll be your girlfriend,"

"Awesome. I'll pick you up at seven." He winked and they all laughed. Spencer Tanner was a boy in Rose's year who never failed to flirt with her, it had started innocently in first year and was now a running joke in Ravenclaw. They were really friends though, and the flirting was just a joke.

Scorpius wasn't so fond of Spencer, either.

She searched the table for the boy, biting her lip as she looked for the blonde-haired boy. Her eyes finally settled on her beloved, and she exhaled dreamily. He was so… handsome. He was just so perfect, sometimes.

Her boyfriend was the best looking boy in Ravenclaw, undoubtedly.

It was such a shame her family didn't know about her supposed boyfriend, nor did they know she was friends with him. She couldn't tell Albus, he would freak, she couldn't tell any of her cousins actually for that matter. Her parents and elder relatives were a huge 'no' too. In fact, the only people who knew about Rose's relationship with the Malfoy was Brooke, and Lorcan.

It's such a shame that she can't even tell her family about the boy she's in love with.

I won't be doing shout-outs, because the chapters will be released so closely together, but I will reply to reviews.

Anyway, feedback is appreciated. This is my first Rose/Scorpius and I'm eager to hear everyone's take on it. :)
