A/N: I don't own anything.
HEY GUYS! It's here! I'm super pumped to write this. For those of you here from the first story, welcome back!
For those of you who are new. THIS IS A SEQUEL!
Go to my page for the first story: 35 Reasons I Shouldn't Date Scorpius Malfoy.
Read it. It's worth it. Anyways. This takes place about 8 years after Rose and Scorpius graduated.
Here's chapter 1.
R's POV
Reasons I Miss Hogwarts
1. Homework is easier than actual work.
2. The professors are nicer than my boss.
3. I got to see my friends every day instead of once a month.
4. I actually got to sleep, somewhat.
5. I had more time to spend with Scorpius.
"We still spend time together," Scorpius says from behind me. His hands massage my shoulders. I look at the list I'm writing instead of doing my work.
"I know," I respond as I sigh. "It's just not like it used to be."
"You mean kissing in crammed broom cupboards? Getting stared at all the time? Being whispered about?"
I cut him off, "I don't know. At school, we spent almost all our time together. Now, with work and stuff, we see each other at night for a few hours. That's it." I turn to look at him. "I miss you babe."
"We'll do more," he promises.
"Good. Why'd you come over here?"
"That's the ironic part. I came to give you this." He hands me an envelope. The signature seal of Hogwarts is on the front.
"It's from Hogwarts..." I state the obvious.
"That's the ironic part. You were just writing a list about it." He grabs the list. Smiling, he walks over to a drawer in the kitchen. He pulls it open, and in it is a folder stuffed full of paper. It's all the lists we've ever written about each other, or to each other. "I know it's not about us," he says as he puts the newest list in the folder. "But..."
"It's okay. It's still a list. And, you are mentioned in number 5." He walks back over as I begin to open our Hogwarts letter. I read it over and look up at him with a smile on my face. "A reunion!"
I stare at myself in the mirror. Pulling the black dress down at the hem, I turn to Scorpius. "Do I look okay?"
"You look beautiful," he answers coming over to kiss my neck. I turn back to the mirror.
"Let's go, before I change my mind about the dress," I tell him. I grab my purse and pull him towards the front door. We Apparate to Hogsmeade.
"You ready?" Scorpius asks. I nod my head, and we begin to walk towards Hogwarts. After checking in at the gates, we walk into the Great Hall. I look around to see so many familiar faces.
Albus waves to me, and I smile at him. He and Alice Longbottom got married a little over a month ago.
I look around and almost squeal when I see my best friend Shannon. (A/N: I know that Shannon was never in my first story, but she's here now).
Shannon ran towards me, and I pulled her into a hug. I haven't seen her since Albus's wedding, and I've missed her like crazy.
"Hi, Scorpius," she says as we pull out of our hug.
"Hello, Shannon," he greets back with a smile. He looks at me and says, "I'm going to mingle. I'll see you later." He kisses me softly and walks away.
"Has he asked you yet?" Shannon asks when he is out of earshot.
"Asked me?" I reply confused.
"To marry him, duh!" Shannon exclaims.
"Shhhh!" I exclaim back. "No, he hasn't. And you would've heard within minutes if he did!"
"Oh, right," she replies with a small laugh. "You're upset."
Stupid best friend always being able to tell my true feelings. "A little. I mean it's been almost 9 years, and he hasn't proposed yet."
"I'm sure he's just busy."
"Proposing takes about 5 seconds," I reply with a frown.
"Yeah, but wedding planning and wedding and honeymoon take a lot longer," she replies. "You guys are living together though, right?"
"Yeah," I tell her.
"How long?"
"Almost a year. We needed time to adjust to our jobs and things," I inform her.
"A year! He'll be asking you any second now," she assures me. "James and I lived together for a year before he asked me."
"Speak of the devil," I say as James walks over.
"Hey cuz," he greets. He gives Shannon a small kiss and places his arm around her waist.
"You're a year older than us," I tell him.
"Yep," he says.
"I meant, if you a year older, why are you at our reunion?" I ask.
"The invite said that you could bring a date," he says. "Look," he points at Ellie Finnagin, "she brought her husband. He went to Durmstrang, and he's two years older."
"Touche," I reply. Shannon has been staring at James this whole time, so I decide to give them some alone time. "I'll meet up with you guys later," I say with a small wave.
I walk over to the punch bowl and see Jordan Goyle standing by herself. "Hey, Jordan," I greet walking over.
"Hi, Rose," she replies with a smile.
"I don't mean to sound like a know-it-all," I begin.
"Like you did in school?" she asks. She smiles and laughs, and I know that she doesn't mean it rudely.
I laugh too. "Exactly. But I heard you got married a while ago. Where's your husband?"
"Oh," she says. "He's a Muggle, so he's not allowed in Hogwarts. I think it's stupid because I told him about it and everything before we got married, but whatever. Some old rule."
"That stinks," I tell her. Her eyes flicker to my ring finger, and a small look of surprise covers her face.
Before she can say anything, Lucy, another friend from school, comes over with a huge smile on her face. "Hey! I've been looking for you. Guess what!"
"What?" I ask.
"Ian and I eloped!" she exclaimed holding up her finger. "Last week. My parents got mad at me and forbade me from seeing him, because he's five years old, so we got married!"
Ian is from my grade, but he must have brought Lucy with him.
"That's so sweet," Jordan says with a smile.
"I know right!" Lucy shouts.
Jordan and Lucy begin to talk about weddings and stuff, and I frown. Looking around, I notice how many people are married, or at least engaged. My heart falls as I wonder why Scorpius hasn't asked me yet. I fiddle with the promise ring he gave me our seventh year and walk away from the squealing girls.
I walk outside and sit down on the steps thinking about my relationship. Maybe it's not as wonderful as I've always thought it was.
And there it is! Please review! I want this to be good, because a lot of the time, authors write really crappy sequels.
I want this one to be really good. Review with suggestions
Thanks for sticking with my writing :D
