Chapter 2: Polyjuice
The next morning, after arriving at the platform, he searched for Rose. Of course, she was surrounded by the massive group of red haired people. Rose was already wearing her school robes, and he chuckled to himself. His mother and father were too busy talking to his aunt Daphne, who had just arrived with her 11-year-old adopted son Marco. Marco was glancing around the train station in awe.
"Hey, Marco, are you excited?" he asked Marco. Marco nodded his head enthusiastically.
"I want to be sorted into Slytherin! Slytherin sounds so cool; Mum said that they were the evil ones!" Scorpius snorted but laughed.
"You'll be a great Slytherin," he said fondly and Marco beamed at him.
"Malfoy!" yelled Victoria. He turned around to see his best friend.
"Hey Vicki! You know what I think? Seventh year is going to be awesome!" he said excitedly. Victoria only smirked at him.
"Because of Rose Weasley, you're going to have a great year," she teased and he turned pink.
Suddenly a large group of girls from various houses screamed his name in unison. Looking beyond Victoria, he saw his annoyingly large group of fan girls. He grinned at them, just to get rid of them, and a couple of the fan girls swooned.
"Ugh, when will they ever stop?" said a disgusted Xander. He walked up to them and grinned. "Have you seen Chloe or Nathan?" asked Xander.
"Snogging, I'll bet you my entire Gringotts account on that," Victoria said cheekily. They all laughed in agreement.
"Hey, I heard that," complained Chloe as she and Nathan walked up to their waiting friends. Scorpius glanced across the platform to the group of redheads and saw Rose Weasley, who staring at him. She gave him a small smile and turned back to talking to her cousin (and prat) Albus Potter.
"Mate, what was that?" asked Xander slowly. Scorpius swallowed nervously.
"I don't know." Scorpius whispered.
When they got to Hogwarts, they waited patiently for the first years to be sorted (Marco was sorted into Ravenclaw, but Scorpius was happy for him) and they dug in to the delicious feast. Tyler Nott, Victoria's younger brother, joined them and so did Jake Flint and Antonio Zabini, Nathan and Chloe's younger siblings. It was an amazing feast, filled with laughter and love. Scorpius didn't let it go unnoticed how Rose kept glancing his way during the feast.
Later on at the 6th year Slytherin dorm, Scorpius and his friends Xander, Nathan and two Slytherins in their year Eli Berg (Yes, he was Professor Berg's son, and he was a playboy and an arse) and Adam Grinser got settled in. He helped Xander with his trunk and started to unpack, trapped in his own world.
"Scorpius? Are you listening?" asked the annoyed voice of Eli. Eli was always talking and making comments about various girl's arses and abilities in bed.
"No, sorry, I'm just tired," said Scorpius. And thinking about Rose, he thought.
"Fine. I'll repeat myself. Do you think I should ask the Weasley girl out? The hot one, the one that has red hair… Erm, what's her name again? Riley? Rosalie? Or is it Lily? No, that's her cousin-" Scorpius cut him off.
"No." he said in an emotionless tone. Nathan and Xander looked from Eli to Scorpius worriedly. Adam looked back and forth between Eli and Scorpius, as if sensing something was going on.
Eli smirked. "And why not?" he asked in a sly tone.
"Because-because she fancies someone else." said Scorpius. Eli raised a doubtful eyebrow at him.
"And how would Scorpius Malfoy know?" he sneered. When it came to girls, he always got it his way. Scorpius racked his brain for a proper and believable explanation, and he finally got one.
"At the prefect meeting on the Hogwarts Express, I overheard her talking to Potter about someone she fancied." Scorpius said. It was the truth anyway. He heard Rose ramble to Potter about a buy she fancied, although she said he was a Slytherin and she didn't know is he liked her or not.
Eli blinked, and then sighed. Adam snorted at his reply, only to receive a glare from Nathan.
"Well, I suppose there's not need to ask her out… Do you happen to know how to make Polyjuice?" Eli wondered aloud. Scorpius stiffened. Then he slowly turned around.
"Berg, you prat, she doesn't fancy you, so why try?" Scorpius snarled. Eli smirked.
"Well, for one thing, Malfoy, she's got a body to die for," he said. "And second of all, she's good in bed. That's what Josh Finnegan said," Josh and Rose slept together? They were together for only two weeks! Seeing Scorpius's shocked expression, Eli grinned madly. "You didn't know? Well, you learn something new every day,"Crack! The dormitory was silent. Scorpius had punched Eli in the jaw, and Eli now unconscious. Adam looked horrified, and quickly went back to unpacking his trunk.
"Damn, Malfoy, you care about her a lot," said Nathan as he high-fived Scorpius.
"That felt good." was all Scorpius said.
