After the feast, Scorpius and I waited for Professor McGonagall outside the Great Hall so she could show us the way to our dormitory. I was quite excited about this, the Heads dorm was supposed to be awesome.

"Good, you're here." McGonagall said approvingly, appearing out of nowhere. She lead us through the crowd of students and up to the seventh floor, we stopped in front of a portrait of a young man and woman in old fashioned robes, sitting together on a garden swing

"This portrait is the entrance to your dormitory, as you know it is tradition for the heads to share dormitory as you'll be working very closely this year and it helps to portray unity between the two of you. It is also more practical. Now," she turned to the portrait "This is Aria and Avery, they were the very first head boy and girl at Hogwarts. One of the many privileges of being a head is that you are allowed to choose your own password, and you may also it change it whenever you wish, just tell Aria and Avery. I'll leave you to decide the password and settle in." She finished

"Thank you, Professor" Scorpius and I replied.

"So what do you think the password should be, Red?" He asked me after McGonagall had left

"What about nunquam redono? It means 'never give up' in Latin" I replied

"Sounds good." We turned to the portrait

"Have you decided on a password?" Aria asked us

"Yes, nunquam redono." I replied

"A good choice, 'never give up'." Avery observed, as they swung open to reveal a round common room, with a fire opposite the portrait hole and couches facing it.

The walls were studded with windows and we seemed to be one of the turrets. On the left was a spiral staircase leading to what I assumed would be our room. The walls were decorated with portraits and hung in green, red, gold and silver-Gryffindor and Slytherin colours and the wall-to-wall carpet changed colours.

There was a bare space in middle of the floor and as we stepped into the room, words appeared in the carpet Welcome Rose and Scorpius

"Wow." I breathed

"Yeah," Scorpius agreed, he turned to me, his movement bringing his body closer to mine, so close we were almost touching I tried to step away and tripped over the hem of my robes, tumbling backwards towards the floor I closed my eyes, bracing myself for impact. A split second later I felt strong arms close around my waist, pulling me upright

"Are you alright?" Scorpius asked me, I looked up into his grey eyes, his face was inches from mine and I could feel his hot breath on my cheeks. He smelled of pine and the clean, fresh smell of a forest after heavy rainfall. There was a pause as we looked at each other and then he began to lean towards me, his grey eyes staring into my blue ones, his woody smell filling the air around me, I never noticed how handsome he was before... Coming to my senses, I quickly stepped backwards, what the hell? Did I just call Scorpius Malfoy handsome?

"I'm really tired, I'm going to bed now, good night!" I said so quickly it was almost one word. I turned and bolted up the stairs, my face was hot and I knew I was blushing furiously.

At the top of the stairs I paused, looking back down to see if Scorpius had followed me, he had sat down on a couch near the fire, looking dazed. As I watched he got up and grabbed a book from one of the shelves on the wall and began to read. I slid down the wall and sat on the ground, when I had caught my breath I got up and looked around, I decided to forget about the incident with Scorpius,

I'm tired, I'm not thinking straight, I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts.

Ahead of me was a corridor and at the far end was a door with my name on it in gold cursive writing, to my left was a similar door with Scorpius's name written on it in the same writing and to my right was a door that I assumed lead to the bathroom, I walked over to it and went in.

The bathroom was squarish with the sink opposite the door, there was another door on my right with a toilet inside, and on the left wall was a shower with a heavy blue shower curtain, I walked over to the sink and splashed some water on my face. I walk out of the bathroom and into my new room.

There were no lights in my room, it didn't need any, the walls were covered in stars that gave off a soft glow and on the roof was a sun that acted as a light globe lighting up the room around me. My bed was a four-poster, with dark blue hangings and covers. There was a desk; a walk in closet and one half of one of the walls was a bookshelf. But the most amazing thing in the room was sitting just passed my bed.

On a raised platform lifted a bit off the floor, was the most beautiful piano I have ever seen. It was a grand piano, jet black with shining white keys and a lifted top. I couldn't believe it, walking towards it, I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

"Ouch!" I yelped, Definitely not a dream, I thought rubbing my arm, I pinch hard. I sat down at the piano and let my fingers linger on the keys for a moment, savoring the feeling. Then I began to play. The music swirled around me and I closed my eyes. The lilting melody wound around me as my fingers instinctively found the right keys. The world disappeared as I lost myself in the music, this was the only thing that mattered, this moment, this music, the keys under my fingers, the notes filling every corner of my body, reverberating through my soul, filling me with an indescribable feeling.

I opened my eyes as the last note faded away, I really was tired; I closed the pianos lid and got ready for bed. The sun grew dark as I crawled under the covers and the stars on the wall dimmed.

That night I dreamt of music and grey eyes.

I woke up early the next morning and got ready for the day ahead, we had the first real prefects meeting today and classes started, as I made my way towards the staircase I heard voices coming from Scorpius's room.

I could hear Scorpius's voice and... A girl?

Of course he had a girl in his room it was Scorpius Malfoy. But what were they talking about? Deciding it was none of my business I continued down the staircase and made my way to the great hall.

After breakfast we received our timetables, as I was planning on becoming a writer, I had chosen Charms, Arithmacy, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Transfiguration and Potions, meaning had two free periods a day. I scanned my timetable, I had Transfiguration first

What a great way to start the day, I thought sarcastically as I headed out the great hall towards the fourth floor.

I had Herbology, Transfiguration and Charms with Ally and Stella and Al was in every one of my classes but Arithmacy and Herbology. Much to my disappointment Scorpius was in all of my classes except Arithmacy.

After dinner we had our first prefects meeting, we met in an empty classroom near the charms corridor.

After we had worked out the patrol schedule and Scorpius and I had briefed them on our responsibilities and given them the password to the prefects bathroom, I stood up "Okay, as you know the seventh annual Christmas ball is coming up soon, it will be held on 2nd September at seven o'clock and classes end at 3 o'clock and start at 12 the next day. The meeting is pretty much over so everyone who doesn't want to help plan the dance can leave."

All the boys left and Aubri Nott, who stopped by me on her way out, "Can I talk to you for a second, Rose?". She asked me nicely enough but Aubri had hated me for no apparent reason since fourth year so I knew it couldn't be good.

"Um, okay," I answered warily, as I followed her outside to the corridor. She waited until the boys were gone and then leaned right up close to me

"Listen, Weasley, I don't like you, so I'm going to make this clear right now. Stay away from Scorpius, he's mine, okay?" She sneered menacingly "If you don't then you'll have something to really be worried about, got that?" And she turned and stalked back down the corridor, leaving me speechless,

What was that about? I thought.

I hated Scorpius almost as much as she hated me. I shook my head, Aubri has always hated me for no reason, she's mental and I decided to forget about the whole thing. I turned and walked back inside the classroom.
