Scorpius
Scorpius Malfoy is unexpected, his personality in particular. He is, unlike all the other Malfoys before him, completely indifferent to heritage and by heritage he means blood. He thinks his father and grandfather are pompous idiots who are unwilling to compete with other wizards, many of whom in fact are better at casting spells than they are. They want an unfair advantage that the current Wizarding World is unwilling to give them. They throw fits and exclaim about the privilege of the purity of their blood, but really, who cares what your blood is. It doesn't show until you're bleeding anyway.
In fact Scorpious has distinctly heard his grandfather mutter something along the lines of "…little brat, Draco was much easier to handle at eleven. Eleven and he thinks he can tell me what's right." Lucius Malfoy does not see the unexpected swell in eleven year old Scorpious' chest as he stomps off. Scorpius is unexpectedly very pleased.

Rose
Rose Weasley's personality, also, is unexpected. Not in the sense that she isn't smart like her mother or stubborn and pig headed like her father, but in more subtle ways than that. Rose has the characteristic Weasley red hair but unexpectedly doesn't have freckles. She is really proud of her parents contribution in the last Wizarding War but is really insecure. Rose loves facts and memorizes them unconsciously and yet she loves reading Muggle fantasy literature in spite of their factual atrocities.
She has most of her mother's personality, yet, unexpectedly, Rose hates cats and the very sight of Crookshanks with its snotty attitude and puffy tail up in the air irks her.

Scorpius
Unexpectedly, Scorpius is perhaps the first Malfoy,ever, to get selected into Ravenclaw. He is so relieved that he has something to set him apart from the rest of his pompous family he nearly skips and jumps to the Ravenclaw table.
A week in, he is, unexpectedly, perhaps the smartest first year Ravenclaw has seen along with a pretty red headed girl called Rose Weasley and that is saying a lot,
Unexpectedly, he has no qualms sharing the title with the pretty girl but becomes best friends with her within another week.

Rose
Rose is unexpectedly a really good Keeper at Quidditch. Even though her flying skills were probably worse than her mother and Rose can't even count on her fingers anymore how many times a broom has risen from the floor only to hit her on the nose, it is actually a few evenings with Scorpius that teach her how to fly. Flying, unexpectedly is exhilarating, so is teaching Scorpius how to play Wizard Chess and the smile that lights his boyish face with happiness.
Unexpectedly Rose Weasley finds that she would not mind looking at that breath taking smile more often.

Scorpius
Scorpius is unexpectedly and amazing Seeker. His dad was a Seeker during his own school days but he knows it was probably more due to favors from his grandfather than pure talent and Scorpius has it.
They unexpectedly beat Gryffindor's team during their Third Year and win the House Cup. It is amazing and his eyes immediately dart for Rose. He finds her all right, his eyes land on her just as she is jumping off her own broom towards him with a smile of wild happiness and as his arms reach out and hold her securely to him, his heart unexpectedly skips a beat as she puts her arms around him and starts gushing about the victory.
Unexpectedly, Scorpius is not equally amused. In fact he is not amused at all. His heart is still stuttering from Rose jumping towards him with nothing besides his arms to save her from falling a good fifty feet. As she realizes something is wrong and looks up to ask him, Scorpius's arms wrap around her tighter and tuck her head under his chin as he calls her a git and asks her how she could be thick enough to take a risk like that and what she would do if she fell in a hoarse voice.
Unexpectedly, she smiles as she looks up at him and tells him she knew he would catch her, and Scorpius knows she is right. He'd probably have fallen and gotten hurt himself before he let her get hurt.

Rose

Scorpius
Scorpius, unexpectedly, tells his family about Rose after a while as well. If he thought the Weasley's had overreacted, well he was in for a surprise because the generally calm and quiet Malfoy Manor is wrecked with shrieks from his grandfather and his father attempting to stop Lucius from hexing him right then and there.
Rose, unexpectedly, visits a week later and manages to win his parents over inspite of their prejudice for muggles. He wonders how she does it and falls for her even more if that is still a possibility.
