Disclaimer: Anything you recognize I do not own.

The first few months of school passed by rather quickly. Besides receiving numerous letters from my Mother pressuring me to push my brother to study for his OWLS and for me to continue to study for NEWTS, I settled into my role as Head girl just fine.

Scorpius and I got along well living in the same quarters. We mostly stayed out of each other's way, but on a few occasions we had to stand in between our two best friends when they dropped in at the same time. It was actually quite amusing to us, but to Carmen and Derek it was anything but.

It was the first day of November when I sat down next to Carmen for breakfast and she smacked down a piece of parchment in front of me.

"What's this?"

"Just read it." She said miserably.

Carmen,

Hola sweetheart. Your father and I have found out the most wonderful news. First I am sure you will be relieved to hear that your Father finally went through with that muggle procedure. I know how you feel about the number of siblings you have acquired over the years; however, I hope you will not be too upset when I tell you that I am carrying twins again. They are both boys and unlike the girls, the healer seems sure that they are most likely identical. Please tell your brother and sisters.

Love,

Mama

"Identical twin boys, Rose! Identical!"

"Well, at least after them you won't be getting anymore."

"It only took them seven children to get to it!" She yelled in exasperation, causing nearly every head in the great hall to turn our way. As head girl all I had to do was shoot a few looks and the majority of the crowd looked the other way once again.

"I mean…couldn't my Dad just keep it in his pants?"

"Your Mom is such a MILF, Carmen!" Jeremy Finnegan called from a few people down; obviously he had been listening in.

"Shut your mouth, Finnegan, before I come over there and shut it for you!"

"Go ahead, I don't mind; you look just like your hot Mama." He replied with a smirk.

"That's it!" Carmen yelled jumping to her feet.

I immediately grabbed her arm and tried to tug her back down, but she was too strong for me. As head girl I could quickly end this thing, but it was a little hard when I wanted to beat the kid's face in just as much as my best friend did. Thankfully I was saved from having to restrain my friend as her brother marched over from the Gryffindor table and punched Finnegan in the face before I could do or say anything to stop him. Not that I really wanted to anyway. However, I was duty bound to pull Roger off Jeremy.

Scorpius was on his way over as well as a few teachers when I grabbed Roger's arm and tugged him away from the bleeding Jeremy Finnegan.

"What is the meaning of this Miss Weasley?" Professor McGonagall asked as she arrived at our side.

"Finnegan was saying things about my Mother and my sister!" Roger interjected immediately, pulling his arm out of my grasp roughly.

"And obviously the best course of action was to ram your fist into his face?" McGonagall asked sarcastically. "Fifty points from Gryffindor for your violence and a detention to be served tonight with Hagrid. As for you, Mr. Finnegan, fifty points from Ravenclaw for your rude remarks. Now, Mr. Malfoy will you please escort Mr. Finnegan to the hospital wing? The rest of you get back to your breakfast."

I breathed a sigh of relief once Scorpius and Jeremy were out of sight. I was so grateful she had not asked me to escort him. I was also relieved she didn't see my hesitation in pulling Roger from Jeremy. If she did she didn't say anything anyway.

"This is why I wish I was an English beauty like you, Rose. While you get noticed, at least it doesn't drive them into making lude remarks."

"I do not get noticed, Carmen."

She rolled her eyes, "You do, and you just are too oblivious to notice. However, I would trade you any day."

"I think I'm alright." I replied. I personally could not handle all the stares Carmen earned in a day. Especially from the third year boys who were just coming into their sexuality. I had it on good authority that Carmen was the object of many wet dreams and masturbation fantasies; not that I would ever tell her this.

"Twins huh?" Scorpious asked as the two of us made our way to Professor McGonagall's office for a meeting.

"Identical."

"I believe this ties the Davies family with the Weasleys." He chuckled.

I did have to laugh at this, "Don't tease her about it."

"I won't say anything to anyone about it. In fact I have to say that I am a bit jealous."

"Jealous?" I asked curiously.

"I'm an only child, Rose. I've always wondered what it would have been like to have a little brother or sister, or even a few."

"It has its ups and downs." I shrugged. "Trust me though…one sibling is enough, especially if your sibling is Hugo."

We were silent the rest of our way to her office and once we were inside and seated in front of her desk, with a picture of a snoring Albus Dumbledore behind her, she got to business.

"This year we have decided to have a Yule Ball."

"But professor, aren't those only held when there is a Tri-Wizard tournament?" I asked.

"Yes, that is true Miss Weasley. But we feel like the older students deserve something for all of their hard work in their studies. It is undecided whether or not the Tri-Wizard tournament will ever happen again given what happened the last time we hosted it."

"Okay, so we're having a Yule ball, where do Rose and I fit into this?" Scorpius asked a bit impatiently to which McGonagall shot him a look.

"As head boy and girl, I've decided that the Yule ball will be your one night off and place more duty onto the prefects shoulders. However, I do require that the two of you set a good example for the rest of the fourth, fifth, six and seventh year students. I would like you two to open the ball with a respectable dance. Of course such a dance will take practice that is why I am alerting you to this now."

"What do you mean by a respectable dance?" I asked.

"A waltz. I'm sure Mr. Malfoy can teach you, am I right in assuming that Mr. Malfoy?"

"Of course, professor, I learned to waltz a few years ago."

"Excellent. Teach Rose how to waltz. That is your only worry for the Yule ball. However, I expect you two to behave like a head boy and girl the entire night even without your duties to hold you to it."

We left her office in a state of excitement. We were to have a night off! And for a ball no less! All I had to do was learn how to waltz…which Scorpius was going to find out was easier said than done.

"Shut up Zabini, we'll see who is the better chaser on Saturday won't we?" Carmen asked, hands on her hips as she and Derek faced down in my common room.

Scorpius walked in at that moment, bag slung across his shoulder, to see Carmen and Derek staring down one another in front of the fireplace. He shot me a look before he threw his bag down on one of the arm chairs and moved to stand in between Derek and Carmen.

"Alright you two, get out. I have to start teaching Rose how to waltz."

That seemed to bring the two of them out of their fighting zone. The two of them started laughing—at me. It was a well known fact that I could not dance…or at least it had become well known after the announcement for the Yule Ball had been made and my brother and cousins had been telling stories of how bad of a dancer I was. Thankfully that didn't seem to deter Scorpious from teaching me how to do this waltz properly. If I had to dance in front of the school, I didn't want to be embarrassed as I did so.

"Shut up." I snapped.

"Good luck, Malfoy, you'll need it. You should have seen her when my Mom tried to teach her the salsa."

"Hey! That is a private memory!"

"Do tell, Davies." Scorpius grinned.

"Well you see it—"

"Out! Now." I interrupted. A giggle in the corner caught my attention and I turned my eyes on Zabini, "You too, Zabini."

"You'll fill me in won't you, Scor?" Derek asked as he made his way to the door behind Carmen.

"You better shut up before she uses her bat bogey hex on you; she inherited her skill for that hex from her aunt Ginny." Carmen warned.

That shut him up and after a few seconds Scorpius and I were finally alone in our common room. I watched a bit nervously as he summoned a record player, shrugged off his robes, loosened his tie and rolled up his shirt sleeves.

"You better put some heels on, so you get used to the feel of dancing in them." Scorpious said to which I remained silent, giving him a look as if to say: what heels?

"Do you have the heels you're wearing for the ball?"

"I haven't had a chance to go shopping yet; I was planning on it next weekend on our Hogsmeade trip."

He quirked a brow, "Don't you have a pair of heels here then that you can wear in the mean time?"

"No."

"What kind of girl are you, Weasley?"

"A girl that doesn't want to break her ankles, thank you very much."

He rolled his eyes and the next thing I knew a pair of black heels were on the floor before me waiting for me to put my feet in them. I shot him a look before I looked back down at the four inch heels.

"Aren't those a bit high?"

"They'll put you on more equal footing with me since you're so short."

"I am not short! I am an average height for a girl; it is you who is freakishly tall."

It was true. I was taller than my short best friend Carmen, and many of the other girls in my year while Scorpius towered over almost all the girls in the school and quite a few of the guys.

"It gives me a commanding presence. Now put on your shoes so we can get started."

I knew there was no use fighting it; with Carmen helping me pick out my ball outfit I was bound to be forced into four inch heels anyway. So with a sigh I kicked off my Mary Jane's and knee high socks and slipped my feet into the heels Scorpious had produced for me. Thankfully they had a strap that went around my ankle for extra support and when I stood up fully I found that they weren't so bad after all.

"Not so bad are they, Weasley?" He grinned.

"We'll see who is grinning after this lesson. I don't want to hear you complain about me stepping on your feet when you produced these shoes for me to wear."

The grin slipped off his face at that, but he said nothing. Instead he turned on the record player and gestured for me to move closer to him. With that I took a deep breath and moved into Scorpious' arms.

An hour later he turned off the record player and sat down to rub his sore feet…yet he said nothing.

As Carmen's best friend I forced myself to bundle up and head to the Quidditch pitch for the Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin game. I was halfway to the pitch when I felt an arm sling around my shoulders and turned to see my cousin Albus grinning down at me.

"Ready to watch Slytherin get their arses beat?" He asked cockily.

"What gives you such faith in Ravenclaw?"

"Carmen." He answered simply.

"You forget that Zabini is rather good, and that Malfoy is a good seeker."

"Not as good as me." He rolled his eyes. "The Ravenclaw seeker isn't too bad…right?"

"How would I know?"

"You're in Ravenclaw, Rose!"

I shot him a look to which he shook his head in dismay. "A Weasley with no love for Quidditch. You are just like Aunt Hermione."

I chose to ignore him and together we finished the walk to the Quidditch pitch. Unfortunately he chose to sit next to me, wasting no time in screaming to the players on the field as if they could hear him. Thankfully I was well versed at tuning my cousins out after years of practice at my Grandparent's house. While Albus screamed himself hoarse I watched Carmen take possession of the quaffle and speed down the pitch to the Slytherin goals.

"And Davies scores for Ravenclaw! Ravenclaw is now in the lead 100 to 50 with no sign of the snitch anywhere!"

However, that changed in an instant. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a blur of green race by. Upon closer inspection I realized it was Scorpius with the Ravenclaw seeker trying to catch up to him as he dived towards the grass in pursuit of the snitch. It was too late though, in a matter of seconds Malfoy had the snitch in his hand.

"Malfoy has caught the snitch! Slytherin wins!"

I left Albus behind the stands and made my way down towards the locker rooms where I knew Carmen probably needed me. Sure enough I could hear her on the inside screaming obscenities in Spanish as the rest of the team got the hell out of there, including the captain. When I got inside, Carmen had calmed down, muttering every once in a while in her mother's native tongue.

"He's never going to let me forget this." She said once she spotted me.

"Malfoy is the one who won the game, not Zabini." I pointed out. "You scored more goals than him."

She didn't say anything else and I waited in silence as she changed. Once she was finished we headed out of the locker rooms and started on our way back up to the castle.

"It would seem that I am the better chaser, Davies."

We both spun around to see Zabini and Malfoy walking behind us. Carmen immediately adopted her defensive stance and opened her mouth to lay into him.

"Malfoy is the one who proved he was the better seeker than ours. If memory serves me correctly I scored more goals than you and probably would have continued to do so if Malfoy had not caught the snitch. Now if you don't mind, I am going to my dormitory."

With that she started to walk away, leaving me alone facing the two Slytherins.

"Good game guys." And with that I ran to catch up with Carmen.
