Rose
Rose Weasley woke up refreshed and confused. Though she slept well she was still wondering about Malfoy and Albus. Were they friends now or was Malfoy just playing games? Rose really didn't know but she was definitely going to find out.
Rushing out of bed, Emmy staring at her as she did so, she got dressed, brushed her hair, and put on a little make up. She didn't usually wear makeup because she was lazy but this time she put on a little eye shadow (blue to match eyes she got from her father) and mascara because today she was on a mission to divulge information from someone who really didn't like her. However it wouldn't be the first time. Rose could be sneaky and devious when it proved a purpose for her. This sounded pretty Slytherinish, this she knew but Rose had thought that there's a little bit of all the houses in everyone, not that very many other people would admit this though.
Rose grabbed the marauder's map that she had borrowed from her cousin James a while back (glad she did actually) and located Albus in the Great Hall. She had her first stop then. Heading down to the Great Hall people stared at her, probably knowing that her and Albus were best friends, or at least knowing they were cousins. Every one heard what happened but only the people that knew Albus best were curious. Albus was kind and sweet, yes sometimes he was sneaky and a little too curious but all around he was the best Slytherin any one had known. Malfoy, however, was mean and spiteful; no one quite knew why he had helped Albus. Though she passed many people one stuck out to her the most. Zambini. His face was swollen (a stinging jinx?) and his eye was black (a punch) but it didn't seem like enough for trying to hurt her cousin. So as Zambini passed her Rose whispered "Furnunculus" He screamed from the red boils erupting all over his body. Now justice had been served.
Finally Rose entered the Great Hall spotting Albus right away. It was a Saturday so instead of his usual robes he was sporting light green robes (that would look really odd on anyone else blended perfectly with his green eyes to make him look as innocent as a five year old) and a muggle cap that sported some kind of spinner on it. He was also sporting a fat lip; Rose really wished she used a worse spell on Zambini. Rose got a lot of dirty looks when she sat across from Albus at the Slytherin table, every morning they would take turns sitting at each other's table she always got dirty looks he always got odd ones, she took a good look at his lip, it was purple. Giving him a worried look she asked him "How's your lip?"
Giving her a smile Albus replied "It's doing alright. So you heard huh?" he looked at her curiously and before it even came out of her mouth Albus answered her next question "I asked him why he did it, all he said was that he liked to surprise people. For some reason I had the idea he was only hoping to surprise one person." Just like Malfoy, Albus was always very vague when giving her his thoughts she wondered if they had more similarities than vagueness.
After breakfast Rose got up, said goodbye to Albus, and looked at the map again. Scorpius was just walking out of the Slytherin dungeons, most likely heading here, maybe she could meet him.
Scorpius
Scorpius Malfoy was getting looks from everyone, this wasn't a new feeling for him but what was new was the reason. Had he really stood up for a Potter? Ever since his encounter with the Weasley girl he had been contemplating his life. All he had said was that he wasn't like his father and that times have changes, he had only said it to confuse her, to play with her head. But now, now he was really thinking about it sense he helped Potter against Zambini, maybe he should really not be like his father because times had changed.. He didn't know. It really would benefit him greatly. His whole life was upside down because of them.
Walking towards the Great Hall Scorpius was in deep thought about his future and who he should and shouldn't be, he wasn't paying much attention. So when Scorpius Malfoy smelled a familiar smell, a smell he had been thinking about, wondering where it had come from, he snapped out of his daze only to see Rose Weasley in front of him with her arms crossed, she really did look kind of nice today, he especially noticed her eyes. But what he noticed most was that the smell he had been thinking about came from her. "Sorry Rosie, but you make a better door than a window, and you see I'm really quite hungry." She smiled at him and Scorpius began to think that new life wasn't sounding so bad.
"Don't worry Malfoy I won't be telling any stories and this won't take long all I have is a few questions." She gave him a look that said 'if you don't answer I will make you answer' as much as he did want her to try and make him answer Malfoy was starving. And she probably deserved some answers considering it was her cousin, and he probably didn't tell her much. Last night in the infirmary they got to talk and get to know each other quite a bit. Though nice Albus was also reserved like Scorpius. He had also learned just how close Albus and Rose were.
"Okay," He started "You have five minutes Weasley you better make it quick." She smiled a victory smile and he could see it in her eyes, it made his stomach flip. Not that he liked her, but a girl that beautiful one can't help but notice.
"What had you meant when you said you weren't like your father, and that times have changed?" Scorpius tried to hide a smirk he had gotten into her head. "I meant exactly what I said, I would never be a Death Eater, if they still existed" actually they did still exist, "And times have changed there isn't as much tension between Slytherin and the rest of the houses anymore." Yes there was still tension but not as much. Luckily she took that as a verifiable answer. "You helped Albus." She stepped forward a little to look closer into his eyes, he felt like she could see right through him. "That's not a question, but it is a bad use of your five minutes." She nodded but didn't look like she thought it was a bad use. "Okay Malfoy, Why did you help him?" This time she stepped even closer, they were less than a foot apart and she was really looking into his eyes. It made him uncomfortable but he didn't want her to moveā¦that smell. "Zambini and I don't get along well." He faked a smile. "And your five minutes are up so if you don't mind Weasley." He gestured for her to move out of the way. Surprisingly she did so.
Once he got far enough away from her Scorpius began to wonder what that conversation had meant. Why did he feel different being so close? Why did he lose himself in her eyes? And why oh why did he know what she smelled like?
