Hello all! I hope you liked the last chapter. It was sorta like an intro because I had to introduce the Amortentia Perfume Spray. Anyway, enough with my rambling, on with the chapter! Oh yeah, I think this is set in sixth year.

Disclaimer: don't own HP, just the new WWW product. Everyone owns it though! Suspense! MWAHAHAHAHAHA…yeah, let's just get on with the chapter.


"Looks can be deceiving," I recited to no one in particular. I was currently sprawled on my bed in the dormitory, carefully examining the perfume bottle. My dad said you never know what you're going to get with Uncle George. A dungbomb might end up smelling like roses or a firework might explode into a shower of bobby pins. Don't ask how I know this stuff. Back to examining the bottle.

Twist. Looks like an ordinary (but very pretty) crystal cut pink perfume bottle with gold stuff on it. It's glittery too. Ooh…sparkly…

Sniff. At the moment, because I haven't got any hair of Scorpius's lying around to put in it, it smells like air. Sweet, sweet oxygen.

Shake. It sounds like water sloshing around in a bottle.

I grabbed my wand and carefully tapped it, and then jumped back, fearing it would explode. Nothing.

Okay, Amortentia Perfume Spray has passed the test; it is safe to be within a 10 metre radius of. Approved and verified by Rose Weasley!


Anyway, I have wasted no time in devising a plan to get Scorpius's hair for the perfume. Here are my ideas:

1. Get Professor Vane to have us make Polyjuice Potion in our next Potions class.

Wow, where did I get that idea from? This will fail. Asking her to change her lesson plan is like voluntarily insulting a Hippogriff.

2. Ask Al to do it for me.

Fail. I'd actually have to tell Albus that I like his best friend won't I? This will not go down well especially since Scorpius is dating Al's sister, Lily. Damn you, Lily Potter. I love you and all but why did you have to date him? Why not Finnegan or Scamander?

3. Push him off the Astronomy Tower so he falls and breaks his leg and has to go to the hospital wing and have some of that drowsy potion and pull out the hairs while he's sleeping.

Maybe that's a bit too drastic...I don't want to kill him in the process.

4. Crash into him (accidentally on purpose) and grab his hairs while falling.

Hmmm, this could work. As long as I don't end up in the hospital wing, this will work! Right, initiate Option 4!


To save myself from public humiliation, I have decided to put the plan in action right before breakfast the next day. Scorpius always gets up early, wakes up Al and they head down to the Great Hall at around 6.56am. I repeat I am not a stalker! I just happen to know his schedule almost off by heart seeing as I hang around with him an Al all the time. Don't get me wrong, Scorpius and I aren't mortal enemies like our fathers were. We actually get along quite well but mostly for Al's sake. Sure, we still throw around harmless insults and the like but nothing too major. But if Al's not here, there's no telling what we'll do to each other. Once, Al was in the hospital wing and Scorpius started this full-out battle of wits which ended in a massive duel in the middle of the Entrance Hall. Needless to say, Al wasn't pleased with us. Scratch that, he was mad at us.

Oh, wait! I think Scorpius's coming…he's smirking, that can't be good. But hang on, he smirks all the time. Time to put my plan in action! Just as I speed-walked around the corner to "accidentally" crash into him-

CRASH.

Ow. I am never doing that again.


Okay, I'm alive! But there's good news and bad news. Bad News: He crashed into me, not the other way around and being as clumsy as I am, I managed to land flat on my back on the stone floor all while getting my ponytail yanked by Scorpius trying to stop me falling. Good News: Scorpius tried to stop me falling and I am currently laying underneath him in a very awkward position, staring into his gorgeous blue-grey eyes…wait, snap out of it, Rose! Grab the hair and get yourself out of this awkward situation before you do something you're going to regret!

I hastily scrambled out from under him, making sure to claw his hair out on the way up.

"Err…" I mumbled. Form a coherent sentence, Rose!

"Hi, Scorpius. Um, sorry about that." Unsurprisingly, he smirked at the scarlet blush rising on my cheeks. Typical Weasley blush. Always chooses the worst times to show itself.

"Wow, Weasley," he drawled, standing up so he was eye level with me. Damn, his eyes are distracting. "Falling head over heels for me? Don't worry, you're not alone. I knew you couldn't resist my roguish charm!" Now this is the arrogant, egotistical Malfoy I know. I think I've already fallen for him though, literally and metaphorically.

"Don't inflate your own ego," I retorted, "It's big enough as it is. In fact, it's rivalling James's." And that's saying something. James Potter is the most big-headed jerk I've ever met. Unfortunately, I have the honour of being related to him.

"I'm not in the mood for your jests about my ego this morning, Weasley. I am in desperate need of a slice of toast and a snog from Lily." Ouch. Did he have to remind me that he's dating my younger, prettier, more attractive cousin? I'm surprised Al hasn't interfered in their relationship by now. Wait a second, where is Al? Normally he and Scorpius are inseparable peas in a pod!

"Where's Al?" I asked, glancing around to check if he had witnessed the "accidental" crash.

"Still sleeping. He somehow managed to put an Imperturbable Charm on his hangings to stop me waking him up so early." I laughed. I could just imagine Al doing that.


Realizing I was actually really hungry by now, I walked into the Great Hall, Scorpius in my wake. We split ways at the door, I headed off to the Ravenclaw table and he sauntered off to the Slytherin table. Strangely enough, Al was sitting there with a couple of his dorm-mates, staring straight at me and smirking. I think he got that from being around Scorpius for six years. I stuffed a piece of heavily buttered toast in my mouth and checked the hairs were still in the pocket of my skirt.

Mission accomplished.


Finito! Did you like it? This is just sort of establishing that Rose and Scorpius are friends through Al. It's longer than the last chapter isn't it? Read and review please!
