Scorpius walked through the corridor toward the Head dorm. He had been awarded head boy just as both his parents were.
In fact that's where they met and fell in love.
He still wasn't sure who the Head girl was as he was called up to McGonagall's office individually.
No other female present.
He secretly hoped she wasn't a Slytherin, despite being one himself. To him they were all stuck up, evil or prejudice all of which he prided himself on not being.
His mother was especially adamant on that.
When his sister was placed in Ravenclaw he had to hide the smile that almost erupted on his face. As it would ruin his reputation as Slytherin Prince, his fathers previous title. Maia getting placed in Ravenclaw had already but a dent in that.
He arrived at the portrait for the dorm.
The portrait was of two star-crossed lovers: Helen of Troy and Paris.
He thought it very ironic considering that his parents, rivals from opposing houses, fell in love in the space hidden behind the portrait.
"Haven't I seen you before?" the dark haired man, Paris, said, frowning.
A truly beautiful girl, with golden hair and a smile adorning her face put a hand on his shoulder and said,
"No of course not! This is Draco's son. You remember Draco right? And He-"
"Ofcourse!" he smiled before disdain was evident on his face. "The two who made an awful racket!"
Scorpius sneered and said the password, "Polyjuice" and left the couple to it.
As he stepped into the room he collided with a girls body and in the midst of shock grabbed onto her hips before both of them hit the ground.
When he opened his eyes he was greeted by the sight of a pair of bright green eyes.
He then realised her very nice, pouty lips formed a perfect o shape until she seemed to come to her senses and say
"Thank you"
5 minutes earlier.
Hallie had just read the letter for what felt like the 100th time.
Ash Wood had broken up with her. Via letter. She wouldn't allow herself to cry.
She was a strong 17 year old woman and did not need a man.
Her mother had always taught her that as she thought Hallie was the most likely to suffer the worst if her heart was broken.
But it wasn't broken.
It was like a relief being lifted off her shoulders.
Ash and herself had been together since they were 15. She'd always known she wasn't in love simply because she never really wanted to commit.
It was just a phase.
Everyone went through it.
She hoped.
Taking her hair out of her bobble she walked straight into a body.
A male body.
It was a mess of limbs but he grabbed her hips and planted herself on him. The impact startled her and her eyes widened.
Two reasons: 1- she could feel manly parts and 2 - the manly parts belonged to Scorpius Malfoy.
The most egotistical prat in the school.
She suddenly closed her parted lips and whispered,
"Thank you" but it came out bolder than intended and, dammit, sounded a tiny bit sexy.
He just smirked and said "Anytime"
She rolled her eyes, he was such a pig. She put some of her auburn hair behind her ear. But before she could say anything someone shouted,
"Scorpius!"
Katie Zabini was looking for her twin brother, Kevin's, best friend Scorpius. She was the most fair skinned of her siblings, but nonetheless, still had a slight tan.
Her hair was blonde and eyes blue, just like her mother.
Though alike in looks they couldn't be any more different personality wise.
Inside, she was just like her father, 100% Slytherin.
But she believed she had the right to express herself and therefore did so by piercing her body. Her favourite had to either be her lip piercing or her belly button. She never could decide.
She also wore black. And alot of it.
She was walking through the corridor and saw the heads portrait open.
On second glance she saw two people inter wined on the floor.
The one on top was obviously a girl as she had dark auburn hair that obstructed the face of the person underneath.
The girl moved a strand of her hair to behind her ear, revealing a head of White blonde hair. Her eyes widened in recognition,
"Scorpius!" she immediately covered her mouth afterwards.
The pair sprung apart immediately.
The red head blushed furiously whilst Scorpius remained his cool self.
She scowled at Scorpius and said, always being the rational one,
"you have to share a dorm with this girl. At least try" she emphasised the last word "to make it not awkward". She then sniggered and to that Scorpius rolled his eyes
"Why are you here Katie?" he asked suspiciously.
"never mind that. Why don't you introduce me to your new friend."
"Whatever. Katie meet-" she filled the blank.
"Hallie. Hallie Weasley" Katie widened her eyes whilst Scorpius just cocked an eyebrow.
A Weasley. How could she never have heard of her before?
She knew why.
It was because this year was the first in which classes would be taught to missed houses.
To promote unity.
"Nice to meet you Hallie. And to answer your question prior, its no matter. I see you're somewhat... Occupied."
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"See you later" she shouted whilst she left
Hallie felt as if someone kicked her in the gut. So, he had a girlfriend. It's not like it should matter to her.
But for some odd reason I did.
And she couldn't shake it.
She just felt annoyed.
Both at Scorpius and herself.
"I'm going to the library. See you later" she said before rushing out the room.
Scorpius stared after Hallie. She left so quickly he didn't get a chance to reply.
And he didn't understand why Katie kissed him on the cheek. As they were both brought up in aristocratic families it wasn't unusual for women to kiss cheeks as greetings.
But one thing, he wasn't a woman!
And he thanked Merlin because they were certainly a complex species.
