DISCLAMER: I own nothing but the plot and any characters you don't recognize
In the beginning
It was Sunday September first, Rose Weasly stood with her parents waiting for a sign of her cousin, Al who also was going to be starting at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"There they are!" She heard Al's voice say, and not a minute later Al and the rest of the Potters came through the steam. "Hey Rose!"
"Hi Al, aren't you excited about going to Hogwarts?" She asked.
"Yeah, but I'm not looking forwards to being with James that much, the whole way over here he kept saying you could be in Slytherin. I don't want to be in Slytheren, and how could I be in there, I'm not sly, I would rather help someone then get them killed, and I'm not cocky." He said, "How 'bout you?"
"Well, I can't be in Slytherin because I'm a half blood. So I guess I could only go to Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflpuff. But I really don't want to be in Hufflpuff, they are to goodie-goodie. What I'm not looking forwards to is the train ride; do you remember the train ride to the cottage?"
FLASH BACK:
Half way to the cottage on a train.
Nine year old Rose says to her mother, "I don't feel well."
"Head ach, stomach ach? What's wrong Hun?" She asked her daughter.
"My stomach, it feels like I'm going to ba- I need a bathroom now."
"Come with me." Hermione said standing up to lead Rose to the lavatories. After a moment of silence everyone in the Weasley/Potter carriage heard the sound of retching.
"Yeah, that was nasty. We heard you barfing from our compartment. I think that dad wants to talk to me I'll be right back." Al said and left to talk to Harry Potter.
Ron Weasley, Roses father, began to talk to Rose but only bits of what he was saying filtered through her concentration, she had noticed a very blond boy with his very blond father. "Beat him in every test…" Who was he? She wondered. "Don't get to friendly, granddad Weasley would kill you if you marry a pureblood." Who is dad talking about? Rose wondered further.
Rose looked up at her father and he was starring at were the blond boy and his father were. 'Why do I have to beat him at every test? Who is he? Why does my dad give a flying rat's arse? Why should I care what my dad says, I can pick my own friends and it's not like I am going to meet him anyway. Though I do want to know why my dad cares who he is and not every other guy on the platform.'
"Alright dad. I think me and Al should get on the train, it's leaving in three minutes." Rose told her father who was still staring at where the boy was. "Come on Al."
"Yeah, let's go." Al said pulling Roses arm towards the train. Rose stopped at the door to the train and waited for Al to climb on first. When Al got in Rose stood there wondering if her mum would apperate her to the train station in Hogsmeade instead, that didn't seem likely so Rose climbed in.
"Let's find our own compartment; I don't want to deal with James or our horde of cousins." Al said. Rose laughed and nodded, so they made there way down the corridor to find an empty compartment. They walked past so many full compartments that they were close to giving up and sitting with their cousins when they noticed an empty one.
Rose rushed in and sat down leaving her trunk in the middle for Al to heave into the overhead rack. Rose already had her new robes on she had had them on since eight o'clock that morning.
After Al struggled with the two trunks and sat down they began to talk about quiditch.
"It will be so much better once we can play against other people. Even though the Potter/Weasley family's make up the entire Gryffindor quiditch team." Al said.
"Yeah, but what if we are in different houses? Then we will be playing against all of them, James, Victorie, Dominique, Fred, Ignatius, even Beverly is on the team." Rose said.
"Vic is leaving the team this year along with Iggy, so then we might be able to beat them if we are in different houses." Al retorted.
"Yeah but we both play seeker the best! So who gets to be on the team? I'm not being beater with Dom; she'll aim the blugger at my head. I'm so not a keeper or a chaser!" Rose cried out.
"We'll think of something. It will be-." Al was cut off when the door opened.
"Hello, do you mind if I sit here?" Asked the blond boy from the station.
"Sure, my name is Rose Weasley; this is my cousin Al Potter." Rose replied.
"Oh, never mind then I'll sit somewhere else." He said turning away.
"Why, we have room, what's your name." Al asked.
"My name is Scorpius Malfoy. I'll leave now." He answered thinking that his name would answer the why.
"So, you're a Malfoy, cool, sit." Rose said in a commanding voice.
Scorpius dragged in his trunk and heaved it onto the rack next to Roses. He sat beside the window uncomfortably.
"Me and Rose were just discussing which house we were going to go into. What house do you think that you will be in?" Al asked.
"Rose and I!!" Rose and Scorpius corrected him at the same time. Rose laughed and Scorpius chuckled a little bit, "I might be in Slytheren, but I don't want to be, their dorms are underground you know. It's just weird; I don't think that I could sleep underground. Are you guys any good at quiditch? I play Chaser."
"Seeker." Al and Rose replied together.
"Are you two planning on being in different houses? 'Cause there is only one seeker per team. Most don't even have an alternate." Scorpius asked.
"I don't know where I'm going to be, I mean I could be in Gryffindor but I'm not that courageous or brave or anything so I wouldn't fit. I can't be Slytherin because I'm a half blood. I'm too reckless for Hufflpuff, so I guess it's my mothers brains that win this fight, I'll most likely be in Ravenclaw. So much for my family's every Weasly in Gryffindor reputation." Rose narrowed down the options. "So, I will be fine for the seeker position, I heard that the old one just graduated last year. You might be in Ravenclaw too, you caught Al's messed up sentence, and most people don't notice that."
"Maybe, but I bet my dad will be angry, he was all, 'beat the Weasly girl in every test!' and 'you better be in Slytheren!' or other things, my mom was all, 'don't pit them up against each other before they even meet!' and then my dad was like, 'don't get too friendly, grandfather Malfoy will never forgive you if you marry a half blood!' It was ridicules."
Rose laughed, "My dad said the same thing about you. He said, 'you better be in Gryffindor or no inheritance!' and my mom was all, 'don't be harsh, it will be perfectly alright no matter what house you're in.' My dad was about to say some thing about Al and the seeker position when I said good bye so I could get on the train."
"How are you a seeker? None of your family, except your uncle, were seekers. I heard that your mom didn't even fly." Scorpius asked.
Al answered, "No one knows, even aunt Hermione can't find anyone in the family history. My mom played for a year in her school time but she change after that, she only took the position because my dad was kicked off the team be a teacher. She was good but didn't like it. There's too much pressure on that player for her, I like the pressure though."
Rose was about to add to the conversation when a male voice over the speaker said, "Lunch is being served now please return to your compartments so the trolleys can get to everyone. Thank you. We will be arriving at the Hogsmeade station at six o'clock. Enjoy your lunch and the rest of your journey."
"Ugh! I hate trains! Hate them, hate them, hate them!" Rose said after the announcement.
"You feelin' alright?" Al asked concerned his new sneakers were about to get messed up.
"Yeah, but we still have six hours on this thing! We will run out of topics to talk about then we'll sit in an awkward silence until Al makes an obnoxious noise and I yell at him because he didn't excuse himself. Then Scorpius will laugh at Al for getting yelled at then Al will yell at me for yelling at him. And then we will go into another awkward silence. And at some point in the train ride I'm going to be noxious. And that time happens to be now! Bye." Rose ended her rant by running from the compartment and into the bathroom.
"So, she gets sick on trains?" Scorpius asked.
"No, she just upsets herself to much and it makes her sick. Therefore you don't give an upset Rose bad news unless you don't mind seeing vomit." Al explained.
"Figures, my mum's the same way."
The rest of the ride was calm. The sorting only heald one surprise, Scorpius, was sorted into Ravenclaw. Rose, whom thaught that it might happen, wasn't conserened when, she too was sorted into Ravenclaw.
Five years later
Rose woke up to her dorm mates gossiping about her friends, Al and Scorpius. She laid there listening to what they had to say.
"I still can't believe that Scorpius would hang out with Potter and Wesley, like come on, everyone knows that Potters, Weasleys and Malfoys don't get along." Emily Buick said.
"Besides who would want to hang out with her anyway." Rebecca Marks sneered. "She's so weird. Her hair is bushy and red. She is so ugly, that's probably why she has friends that are guys but not a boy friend."
"I so agree, she needs to lose the bushiness then she might have a chance with someone." Margaret Jones suggested.
"Let's go to breakfast I'm hungry." Emily said.
Rose laid in her bed for a few minutes after they left and cried. When she finally got up she threw on some clothes went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. She saw the girls that were making fun of her sitting at the Ravenclaw table and she turned and went to the Gryffendor table.
"Hey Al, James. Hi Lily. Can I sit here?" Rose asked her cousins.
"Hi Rose. Why do you want to sit here, don't you usually sit with Scor?" James asked.
"Well, yeah, but I don't want to sit near my dorm mates. So can I sit here or not?" Rose said annoyed.
"Yeah, you can sit. So, what did they do?" Lily asked concerned.
"They were just making fun of me 'cause I have two best mates that are guys and one is my cousin and how I don't have any girl friends. They didn't realize that I was awake." Rose sighed and started filling her plate with eggs, bacon and toast.
"Do you want me to hex them I'm getting good at silent and wandless magic?" James asked eagerly.
"No. Its fine, I'll deal with them later." Rose said calmly.
"Rose! Hey Rose! What are you doing over here?" Scorpius asked coming up behind her.
"She's avoiding her dorm mates. How are you this morning Scor?" Al asked.
"I'm fine, why are you avoiding your dorm mates I thought you liked each other?" Scorpius said surprised.
"So did I, until I woke up this morning to them making fun of me." Rose said angrily.
Do you want me…?" Scorpius started, but James interrupted, "No, she already said no to me."
"Okay. Well here is your schedule. I already compared ours, they're the same everyday. Al give me yours. Let's see, DADA, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, and Potions. Today, and Thursday we have all the same classes but Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday we have different classes." He said looking at the timetables.
"I'm going to class. See you there." Rose supposed. Then she got up and left not waiting for a response.
Rose walked to the fourth floor Defence against the Dark Arts class room and picked a seat near the front of the room. She pulled out her text book and began to read chapter one on the disarming charm, expelliarmus. She was just about to start chapter two when she was interrupted by the teacher, Professor Carwin.
"What are you doing here Rose? Class doesn't start for another half an hour." He asked.
"Just reading. What are we covering this year?" Rose asked only half interested.
"Patronus', stunning, other spells like that. Today we're reviewing everything you've done so far, like disarming, shields, and such. Now why are you really in my class room half an hour early?" The professor asked again.
"I'm just reading, and I was talking to you and I wasn't hungry, so I came to class." Rose half lied.
"Alright." Professor Carwin said, "I am hungry so I'm going to get something to eat."
Fifteen minutes later the rest of the students came in and sat down. When Professor Carwin came in everyone was quite, he said to the class, "Pair up everyone, we'll be working on disarming and shield charms."
Al partnered with another Gryffendor, so Rose and Scorpius partnered with each other. Everyone formed two lines facing their partners. "Go!" The teacher shouted.
"Expelliarmus!" Scorpius shouted just as Rose said, "Protego!" Scorpius' spell bounced off Roses shield and hit him. "Oi! You're not supposed to reflect the charm." Scorpius said through the screams of their class mates.
"Sorry! I didn't mean too." Rose said back.
Al and his partner, Alice Ogden were doing good until Al tried to disarm Alice, she wasn't holding on to her wand tight enough so when Al's spell hit her, her wand flew and hit Rose in the side of the head. "Ouch!" Rose shouted as the wand hit her.
"I am so sorry Rose! Are you alright?" Al asked.
"No I am not alright. I just got a wand across my face. If I get a bruise, you're going to wish you were never born." Rose yelled at him. "Can I go to the hospital wing and get Madam Pickering to look at it, professor?"
"Yes, you may go. Mr Malfoy you can make sure she gets there. Thank you." Professor Carwin.
Rose stormed out of the class room, Scorpius chased Rose out. Rose didn't slow down until she reached the hospital wing doors. Scorpius finally caught up to Rose, she was leaning on the doors crying. "Rosie? Rose, what's wrong?" He asked crouching down next to her.
"I… I… I think tha…that they're right." She stuttered.
"Who? Who do you think is right, what are they right about?" He asked quietly.
"The girls in my dorm. They're right about me." She cried into his shoulder.
"What do you mean they're right about you?" Scorpius asked quietly.
"Everything they have said about me is true." She said frustrated that he wasn't getting it.
"What are they saying?"
"They said that my hair is horrible, that I'm ugly and that I can't get a boy friend because of it and the only reason you and Al hang out with me is because he is my cousin." She sobbed.
"It's not true. I'm your friend because I want to be not because I have to. You are not ugly, far from it. And for the not being able to get a boy friend that is a load of crap and you know it, you could have any guy you wanted, well most but that's because you have a huge family and they populate half the school." He said in a very matter-of-factly voice.
"Thanks," Rose whispered, "For being my friend."
"No problem, now let's get you a bruise potion. It's starting to show." He laughed. Rose glared at him with a smile and stood up.
They went into the hospital wing and got a potion that would cover up the bruise until it healed. Then they had to go to Care of Magical Creatures in the forest. On the walk down they past the three girls that were mean to Rose and Scorpius hit one with the bat boggy hex. They stopped at Hagrid's hut and waited for him to lead them into the forest.
Al came up to Rose and said, "I am so, so sorry. I didn't mean for it to be that powerful but that git Gerard was taunting me. He kept saying that I couldn't even disarm a girl and so I was trying to not let it get to me but it did. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I survived." Rose said, "So you can stop apologizing."
"Okay, I'll stop." Al told her.
"'Ello everybody. Terday we is goin' inside the forest. Follow me." Hagrid declared to the class.
The class followed Hagrid into the forest to a clearing about ten minutes from his cabin. Hagrid stopped at the far side of the clearing and the students on the other end. Once all the students had settled Hagrid said, "Alrigh', now who can tell me what a Jarvey is?" Rose stuck up her hand. "Ah, yes Rose."
"A Jarvey is an over large ferret like creature that has the ability to talk, mostly wise cracks and jokes, and is found in England, Ireland and North America. It lives under ground." Rose answered.
"Right you are, five points to Ravenclaw. Yes, now I'm going to call one and I want yeh all to draw what yer see." Hargrid said then he did a strange strangled call a few times. After he did that a ferret the size of a miniature Dachshund popped out of the ground and walked around then sat in the middle of the clearing.
Rose pulled out a quill, parchment and some ink and began to draw. Al and Scorpius were slower to start but were quickly drawing next to Rose. "It's kind of cute." Rose said to Al who was right next to her, "What do you think the chances of my dad letting me get one are."
"Next to nothing." Al whispered concentrating on the creature. "He doesn't like rodents; remember when you asked for a rat?"
"Oh, yeah I remember the rat incident." Rose laughed. "I guess I won't get one then, oh well."
FLASHBACK
The rat incident.
"Daddy, can I have a rat instead of an owl?" eleven year old rose asked.
"Oh no. Nooo! No rats. How about a nice cat?" Ron said to her.
"I don't want a cat I want a rat!" Rose shouted.
"No rats and that's final. Now pick a cat or an owl." He said angrily.
END FLASHBACK
"That was bad, yeah I don't know if I want a pet that says all the annoying things Hugo says. That would be really bad." Rose said finishing her drawing. "I'm going to hand this in are you guys done?"
"I am. Here." Scorpius handed her his parchment. "Thank you."
Rose walked over to Hagrid and gave him the two drawings. "Thank yeh. Alrigh' if yeh're done now hand it in but if yeh's not I want it next class. C'mon now let's get back." Hagrid told the class. "Bye Scruffy."
The class packed up their stuff, some people handed their drawing in to Hagrid and left for the school. Walking up Rose asked Scorpius, "When are the quidditch try-outs?"
"Not this Saturday but next Saturday Dobbs wants the whole team there. Then the First practice is the week after. How come you didn't know that yet? Usually you tell me." Scor asked.
"I wasn't at the Ravenclaw table this morning. He would have said it then, duh." Rose told him.
"Okay, let's not fight. Let's go get lunch." Al started, but Rose and Scorpius interrupted him, "'Cause you're hungry." Al looked at them and scowled.
They sat at the Gryffendor table for lunch and talked with all the Wesley/Potter clan.
"Hey guys." Lily muttered as she sat down next to Al.
Al looked at her concerned, "What's wrong Lils?"
"Oh it's nothing but I think that I might fail potions." She sighed.
"It's the first day why do you think your going to fail after one day?" Rose asked her cousin.
"Because that Slytherin idiot Burks blew up our potion five minutes in to the class and I have to write a twelve inch essay on the uses of moonstone. And he doesn't have to do anything not even a detention." Lily reported to her family.
"That's rough little sis'." James said. "You can always get him back. I seem to remember you took after mom as the master of the Bat-Boggy hex."
"I could but with my luck I would get caught." She sighed and made a roast beef sandwich. "You could Jelly-Legs jinx him." She added hopefully.
"Sure, the next time he walks by me." James promised.
"Thanks James." Lily said happily.
"Welcome." He said, "I have to go. See you guys later."
"Bye James!" the whole Wesley/Potter clan and Scorpius said.
About fifteen minutes later the three friends were headed towards aritmancy on the second floor.
"I hate this class and we have it three times a week." Al complained.
"That is why you are in Gryffendor and not Ravenclaw. You don't use your brain." Rose said to Al, then turned to Scorpius, "Aren't I right, Scor?"
"I would like you to leave me out of this conversation, thank you." He said, "Why are those girls over there staring at us like we are a zoo exhibit?"
"Because we are a Potter, a Malfoy and a Wesley." Rose sighed, "Would you put your eyes back in your heads, we are just friends like you lot are."
The group of girls turned and giggled. "I hate it when they giggle like that. It's so annoying. Don't you think Al?" Scorpius reckoned.
"Yeah, but they were kind of cute." He replied.
"That's all you think about, isn't it?" Rose asked disgusted.
"Hey, I'm a teenage guy it's what we do. Isn't that right, Scor?" Al asked defensibly.
"No, that's what you do, or at least not me, I look into how smart they are first." Scorpius replied.
"Dear god and I hang out with you people." Rose muttered.
"C'mon you know you don't mind, if you did why are you still here?" Al asked.
"Honestly, I have know clue. I must be completely insane to still hang out with you after five years of you being like this. I am going now, good bye." Rose left the boys standing there confused about what just happened.
"Mate, I don't think that she's coming back. Shite." Scorpius exclaimed.
"Rose! Rose, where are you?" Al hollered as they ran down the hall looking for her. They ran around a corner and heard a sound half way between a laugh and a cry. "Rose?"
"Ha, ha, ha, you guys are so sad. Ha, ha, I thought that you could last one day with out me. You two are ridiculous." Rose laughed.
"Oh you're going to get it now. Hey come back here!" Scor shouted down the corridor after her. Al started running again and Scorpius soon after him. When Rose rounded a second corner she ran into the aritmancy class room. She sat down in a seat second in from the far wall. When Al and Scor came in she laughed again. "You are so lucky that the teacher is here."
"Was that a threat Mr Malfoy?" professor Clapp asked.
"N-no sir, "He stuttered, "Just a statement of annoyance."
"Alright, but no more statements of annoyance in my class." The professor said.
"Okay." Scor said to him and sat down next to Rose.
The class slowly filed in and took seats. Rose did her work not paying attention to her friends beside her. When the bell went she was surprised that class was over already. Scorpius however, was watching his muggle watch, so he knew the bell was going to go. When he stood up he noticed Al still working.
"You can stop now, you know." Scor told his friend. "The bell went."
"I know. I wanted to finish, but I can't." Al sighed.
"Well, we can't be late for Potions, let's go." Rose announced. Then she started towards the door and turned back, "What, you're not going?"
The boys ran to Rose and left the class together. They walked past the same group of girls, who immediately started to giggle again. Rose glared at them but didn't stop this time. Al looked at them quizzically, which earned him a jab to the ribs by Rose. Scorpius smirked at Al getting poked and got a light punch in the arm. When they reached the dungeon class room they took seats. Al and Scorpius sat down together and Rose sat at the table next to them with a Gryffindor girl named Stacy Perkins.
Professor Tichenor walked into the class room and everyone went silent. "I want a male and female partner ship, so Mr Malfoy, Ms Wesley here," He pointed to Als' desk, "Mr Potter, Ms Perkins there." He pointed to Roses' desk. Al and Rose switched seats and the professor continued. "Today you are to start to brew Polyjuice potion, it will take you two weeks. The instructions are on page twenty three in your text books along with the ingredients. You will find everything you need in the cabinet. Begin."
"I'll get the first four ingredients that are added today can you get the cauldron set up?" Rose asked Scorpius as she scurried over to the cabinet. When she came back Scorpius had everything set to start. "Can you chop the knotwood while I grind the bicorn horn?"
"Sure." He answered and started to chop. Five minutes later he had finished chopping and asked, "How much water do I add to start?"
"Two cups and add the knotwood at the same time. Stir it clockwise for five minutes then add the ground bicorn horn." She answered, "I'll slice the leeches and right before class ends we add the lacewig flies."
"When do we add the leeches?" He asked confused.
"After twenty minutes of simmering. How did you get into Ravenclaw if you can't even read your own textbook?" Rose asked.
"I can I just don't want to." Scorpius answered her. "Hand me the bicorn horn, please."
"Here." Rose said annoyed. "Now stop stirring and let it simmer for twenty minutes."
Rose shifted in her chair and took out a book.
Al started his potion without any help from his partner. He was doing quite well, his potion was the right shade of purple after the bicorn horn, it was the right teal colour by the end of the simmering but when he put in the leeches that his partner sliced the potion turned a puke green instead of the emerald green it was supposed to be.
"Did you spill something on the leeches?" He asked his partner who was day dreaming. "Stacy? Perkins, did you spill something on the leeches?"
"Yup, they were a bad colour so I put a little bit of dragon blood on them so they were prettier." She answered cheerfully.
"Dragon blood, um, Rose what happens if you put dragon blood in polyjuice potion?" Just as Al finished asking the question his potion blew up.
"That's what happens." Rose said, "Why did you add dragon blood?"
"I didn't Perkins did, she didn't like the colour of the leeches so she put dragon blood on them." Al cried.
"Mr Potter, Ms Perkins you will meet me here at five thirty so you can redo your potion. Clean up your mess." Professor Tichenor told the pair.
Rose added the lacewig flies, stirred it again and packed up her things. Scorpius packed up his stuff and sat down waiting for the bell. Al was scowling at the front of the class with his stuff in his bag.
The bell rang and Al stormed out of the class. Rose stared at the door confused. Scorpius wasn't paying attention to where he was walking and bumped into Rose.
"Oi, why'd you stop?" He said. "Are you paying any attention?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I was distracted," She said, "Al just left. He didn't even say good bye."
"Really? Well, let's go to the library, I want to check my Charms summer essay." Scorpius suggested.
Later that day at about five o'clock Rose and Scorpius walked into the Great Hall, they found a seat at the Ravenclaw table and began to fill plates with food. The Great Hall doors opened again and Roses' dorm mates came in.
"Can we sit here?" Emily asked Rose sweetly.
"Why so you can take the mickey out of me again? I heard you this morning. Next time make sure I'm asleep." Rose sneered at the girls who immediately turned white.
"What do you mean, we didn't do anything." Margaret said innocently.
"I'm not stupid, I heard you talking about my hair, and my friends. I heard you call me ugly, I heard you, all of you. Honestly, why do you care if my best mates are guys? I guess I take after my mother; her best mates were and still are guys. And just because you three can't get a guy to ask you out doesn't mean that I can't." Rose spat the words out like she had a bad taste in her mouth, "So, no you may not sit here."
"You do take after your mother, in all the worst ways." Rebecca sneered back at her. "Your lousy hair, your attitude, even your choice in friends."
"You know what else I inherited from my mother? I got her skill." And before the girls could reach their wands, Rose had shouted, "Immobulus maxim!" The three girls were frozen. And when Rose saw Professor Longbottem coming towards her, she whispered to Scorpius, "Crap."
"Ms Wesley, why have you frozen these three girls?" He asked when he reached her.
"Um, well, they were taking the mickey out of me and I have the Wesley temper and it took over and I hit them with immobulus." Rose explained.
"Detention, tonight eight o'clock. Greenhouse number four." Neville said calmly, then he waved his wand at the girls and said, "You three apologize to Rose and if I hear of you poking fun again it will be detention for you as well." And then he walked back up to the teachers' table.
"Well that went well." Scorpius joked when the girls left. "Don't you think?"
"Stuff it." Rose muttered and walked out of the Great Hall.
"Bloody hell, not this again." He whispered to himself then he ran from the Hall.
Scorpius checked everywhere he could think of including paying a first year girl to check the girls washroom. He was walking towards the Ravenclaw common room when he bumped into James.
"Shouldn't you be at dinner?" James asked him.
"I'm looking for Rose. She left in a rush after the run in with her dorm mates. Have you seen her?" Scorpius asked hopefully.
"No but this might help you find her. Just put your wand on it and say, 'I solemnly swear I'm up to no good.' Then when your done put your wand on it and say, 'mischief managed.' Give it back when your done." James said as he handed Scor a piece of very old looking parchment.
"Thanks?" He said sceptically. James started to walk away when Scorpius asked,
"What is it?"
"You'll figure that out when you do what I said to do." James shouted down the hall.
"I'll figure it out if I do what he said." He muttered to himself, "Okay," He placed his wand on the paper, "I solemnly swear I'm up to not good." Within seconds the Marauder's map appeared on the parchment. "W-o-w!" Scorpius stretched the word to make it three syllables long.
He then started to read the names under the moving dots of the people. He looked everywhere he could think of. The Ravenclaw common room, the Great Hall, The corridors in between. Then when he had just about given up, he noticed a single dot in the astronomy tower. It was Roses dot.
Scorpius ran down the corridor towards the tower. Racing, not because she could do something but because of how upset she was before and what she could come up with to get them back. If he didn't hurry, he might not be able to talk her out of it. Then she would do something she would regret.
He stopped at the bottom of the stairs to check if she was still up there. She was and there was no way that she could get away from him unless she…
No, he couldn't even let the thought form on his mind. She wouldn't jump. She couldn't just jump, that's not her. She wouldn't let herself go that way; she had told him that she would rather be killed in a dual then jump from a great height. He ran faster up the stairs. He saw the door it was closed but he could here something from the other side. It sounded as if there were two people in the room. He pulled out the map to check again. She was alone.
She sat on the floor looking at a ghostly image of her mother coming out of the ring on her finger. The ring was a very special ring, because it belonged to so many of the Wesley female family. But her mother had put an enchantment on the ring so that if she needed to talk to her mother all she had to do was say her mothers' middle name into it.
"It will be alright, Rose. You know that the girls don't like you because you hang out with the two most desired boys, sorry young men, in the school. You are probably the luckiest girl there, because of them. 'Cause you know they wouldn't do or let anything happen to you." Hermione's disembodied voice consoled her daughter.
"I…I…know but, d-do they have to b-be so m-m-mean?" Rose asked sobbing.
"No, they don't but you can't sit here by your self because the girls in you dorm think that you are weird or strange. You're not; you are a beautiful, smart, well liked young witch. You shouldn't believe everything other young jealous witches say." Hermione said calmly.
"She's right you know." Scorpius commented as he walked up to Rose, "Hello Mrs Wesley. The only thing I don't thing your right on is me being one of the most desirable males at the school."
"Ha, ha, ha you haven't heard all the girl talk in the lavatories and change rooms and dorms and any other all girl place in this school, it is pretty easy to say that you and Al are the two most wanted guys at this school. Trust me." Rose laughed through her tears.
"Well, alright. If you say so, mon petite ami." Which was is his French vocabulary in one half sentence.
"Well, I have to get back to work, Hun. If you need me, you have the ring. I love you. Good bye Scorpius. Bye Rosie." Hermione said.
"Bye mom. Take care, say hi to dad for me." Rose replied.
"Bye Mrs Wesley." said Scorpius.
"Of course. Bye." And with that the image disappeared.
"Rose, are you okay?" Scorpius asked quietly.
"I think so. How did you find me?"
"Your cousins' map." He answered. "Now let's get out of here, it's chilly."
"Yeah, it is. So, how much of my conversation did you hear?" She asked not sure if she cared if he did hear it all.
"Um, I heard your mom telling you it was alright, and not to worry about what the girls said." He said worried that she might get mad.
"Oh, okay. You came after the really embarrassing part." Rose laughed. "But just so you know I didn't lie about the whole every girl wanting you."
Scorpius smiled. "Really, cool. Wait, you're a girl."
"Wow, did it take you five years to figure that out? How did you end up in Ravenclaw?" Rose laughed.
"No, it didn't. But you said 'every girl' so does that include you my small friend?" Scorpius asked with a smirk.
"Ha, ha, ha are you serious? Me? Sometimes I think your nuts." Rose shook her head, "No, that didn't include me. I already have you in my life I don't have to whisper in the bathroom."
"Oh, I see. Well what idiot guy do you like?" He asked.
"And why would I tell you? Why do you want to know?" She asked back.
"So I have a target for my annoyance. I need someone to hex, jinks and curse."
"Exactly, you want to know so you can beat him up. That is why I would never tell you." Rose stuck her tongue out at him. "I have to go I have detention."
"Don't worry. Longbottem is the easy one. Pot a couple plants, water a few and you're done." Scorpius said.
"Yeah, Mr I-have-been-in-detention-so-many-times. In case you didn't know, which you should, I have never got a detention." Rose said getting very annoyed.
"You know, if I didn't know you better I would have never guessed." Scorpius made a face that earned him a shove, which made him fall. "Hey! What was that for?!" He exclaimed.
"For being a smart-arse." Rose said and then turned and walked away. He stared after her until he couldn't see her anymore. When he got up off the ground he muttered to himself, "Bloody hell. Not again. That girl needs to calm down and get a sense of hummer." Scorpius decided that he should find James and return the Marauder's map. He took it out again and the map already out he started to look for the Potters' dot. He was looking for about ten minutes when he noticed James dot in the Gryffindor common room. He, Scorpius, started to run for the portrait of the fat lady when he realized that he wouldn't be able to get in.
He stopped at the portrait and took out the map and watched for a Gryffindor to come. When one finally came he asked the small first year girl to tell James to come out. After about five minutes James finally came out of the portrait hole.
"Finally. I've only been here for half a freaking hour. Here." Scorpius shoved the map into James' hand. "I've got to go."
"Oh, no you don't, you have to explain why you are being like this." James said grabbing Scorpius' arm, "I know that I don't know you that well but I know you enough to know that you are not happy."
"I don't want to talk about it." Scorpius wrenched his arm free and stormed off.
James knew something was wrong but it could wait. He went back in to the common room and went to bed.
Scorpius stomped through the corridors heading towards the Ravenclaw common room. He was angry; he found out that he could have any girl at Hogwarts except the one he wanted. He had to go and make friends with her, if he only was friends with Al, then everything would be fine.
He stormed up the stairs and stood at the door waiting for the question. The brass eagle opened its beak and a high musical voice asked, "Which came first, the dragon or the egg?"
"The circle has no beginning." Scorpius snarled at the bird.
"Good answer, you may enter." It replied and the door swung open. Scorpius rushed past noisy first years, gossiping third year girls and a group of seventh years and ran up the stairs to the boys' dorms.
