When Scorpius got off the train at the end of the year, he was decked out in all things Gryffindor. They had won the house cup, everyone was celebrating.
Rose and Albus went off to the opposite direction than him, he saw his parents before they saw him. There was no doubt that they were the Malfoy. They stood there, with perfect backs, no smile visible on their face. They were draped in black clothing.
He walked towards them, the smile on his face slowly draining away. He saw his father meet his eyes, he was horrified. Scorpius looked down the Gryffindor clothing.
"Did you talk to any Slytherins?"
"Only a few." For the first time, Scorpius had lied to his parents.
"Did you talk to those blood-traitors and Mudblood spawn? And those filthy Potters?"
"No, I hated them. Only made fun of them." Lie number two.
"Grades?"
"Prefect. Beat the mudblood spawn." It gutted him to call Rose a mudblood spawn.
The rest of the summer continued until Scorpius was caught sneaking letters to his friends. His father enraged, wouldn't talk to him for the rest of the summer. In short, Scorpius Malfoy had a wonderful summer.
Of course on the train ride to Hogwarts, he told Rose and Albus all about it. They were in the commons rooms, celebrating with the family; Hugo and Lily both got into Gryffindor. Even Lea was there, she had become a mentor to Rose, perfect grades, a prefect herself, and obviously choice for head girl next year.
Then the party started to die down and all that was left was Scorpius and Rose. They both collapsed on one of the couches. "Blimey, I really love my family, no matter how crazy they are." She smiled. "Scorpius?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't care what you say or your father thinks, you are now apart of my mudblood-blood traitor-crazy-family in my eyes. I also don't care what my father says about your family, your different and everyone here knows it." He locked eyes with her, a thankful look appeared on his face.
"I better go call my father and tell him that so he'll disown me and I can really join your family." He joked. She smiled at her brother-like-friend. Scorpius yawned causing Rose to yawn too.
She gave a chuckle, stood up and said, "Well I'm off to bed." She leant down and face Scorpius a kiss on the cheek, just like every night. "Goodnight Scorpius."
The next morning they sat at the Gryffindor table, discussing their classes. "Do we really have double potions with Slughorn? I've resorted to reading the books, he keeps forgetting the important things. He had us make bubbleguerm and forgot the wissolyn in his own." Darren, another second-year student complained to the normally crowded table. It was pretty empty today, they were missing all the Quidditch members and Scorpius. That was when Rose noticed.
"Do any of you know where the team is?" She asked the table. Everyone shook their heads and went back to eating before the double potions. She slumped back in her seat. Just then Scorpius came with Lily trailing behind him, they were discussing something Rose couldn't quite hear. "Scorpius!" She called out.
He came over, ditching Lily who's smile left her face and he took a seat by Rose. "Qué necesitas mi Rosa?" Over the summer as Scorpius was by himself he took up learning Spanish. Rose loved it when he would just roll his R's, there was something about a different language that she loved. She sort of picked up the basic just from hearing him but once he went over a minute of speaking, she was lost.
"Do you know where the rest of the table is? It's the whole Quidditch team and Albus." She asked only to have Scorpius tilt his head and start laughing.
It took him a minute to regain himself and start breathing again. "Rose, don't you ever pay attention to what Lea says about Quidditch? Today is the tryouts, James, Fred are there getting ready and I bet you Albus is there to watch and get a head start at practising." That did sound like Albus.
Of course Rose had thought about joining the Quidditch team but she always thought she wouldn't be good enough. She knew Scorpius, Albus, Lily, and Hugo wanted to join too. Right now it was Lea, the Keeper and Captain, James and Fred, the beaters, and the rest of the team had left last year so they were looking for three chasers and one seeker. Her family wanted to fill those empty stops.
"Anyways, I've been meaning to ask you, Rose will you please try out? Just try out, if you don't make it then you don't make it. I know you are good enough to get a spot in the team." She rolled her eyes at Scorpius and shook her head.
"Fine but I will only tryout. Does going to the tryouts mean I'm missing portions?" Scorpius shakes his head.
"Okay, good. Wouldn't want to miss that, eh?" A pity laughter came from her following her own comment.
After a good hearty breakfast, they all headed down to the Quidditch Pitch. Lea was already there, as well as the rest of the Potter-Weasley clan. "Let's get started every one. Grab a broom and head out on the pitch."
Everyone did as they were said, Rose instead of walking, she dragged her feet which had annoyed Scorpius. "Okay let's get started."
Quidditch had started and everyone was racing around Rose. "Rose! You have to move!" Scorpius called out to her. She lunged forward to find herself deathly close to a bludger. She was trying out for chaser try to get the Quaffle, she thought.
She waved her arms for Albus to send a ball towards her, he threw the Quaffle at her with incredible speed. When the ball crashed into her stomach she lurched forwards, causing her to nearly lose her breakfast. She regains control and found herself zooming to Lea who was in the rings.
When Lea wasn't looking she threw the ball with all her might and it flew and it flew and it flew, until it found a little hole between Lea and the top rings, it had just barely gone through.
In her pause she hadn't seen Hugo and Scorpius on their broomstick chasing the snitch when they impacted, she felt but nothing else.
Rose woke up in the infirmary with everyone that had been at the tryout. Albus and Scorpius were right on her side, each holding her hand. "What happened?" She grumbled. There were many sighs of relief.
"Oh, Rose! Hugo and Scorp ran into you. But it was amazing, Scorpius swooped down so fast I didn't see him do it. He caught you but you were out." Albus quickly explained. "Honestly, you should have seen it. Scorpius was amazing. If it wasn't for him...I don't what I would have done if you fell and hurt yourself."
She gave a smile to the blonde on her right. There was a little nod in reply. "When can I leave?" As if on cue Madam Pomfrey came out.
"Just as soon as you drink this. Every drip, okay?" Rose mumbled an okay.
Lea had stepped out from the back. "Okay here's some news. Rose, Lily, Albus, you guys are the new Gryffindor Chasers. Scorpius, you are the new Gryffindor Seeker." Cheers and applause went around, even Hugo didn't look the bit sad.
"Maybe after Lea is gone, I could try out for her spot at keeper." All laughed at Hugo's comment since they knew that was three years away.
That year was filled with many winning Quidditch games, only this time Ravenclaw one the house cup, Gryffindor just barely behind. When the year had ended, it wasn't a night when Rose laid a kiss on Scorpius' cheek. After she had left Scorpius placed a finger on the cheek where Rose always left a kiss and smiled.
