When Two Become One

by E.G. Potter

"It happened slowly, falling in love with Scorpius Malfoy. But it was sweet, and it reminded me that everyone had the potential to change. What I wouldn't give to have him back. Even now, that he's been gone for years, it still feels like he's right beside me." Years after Scorpius's untimely death, Rose remembers how it felt to fall in love with him. Hiatus, pending removal.

2. First Year

First year

Frustrated, I slammed my bag against the wall of the Ravenclaw Common Room. A first year shouldn't have so much homework! I had also completely forgotten that there was a full bottle of ink in my bag, the contents of which was now slowly creeping across the floor towards the blue rug.

I sat down on the ground in a huff, very close to tears, my spirit broken. Why couldn't I be more like my mum?

"Are you alright?" A boy's voice asked.

I looked up and saw a small, pale boy looking at me. Oh, I remember him from the Sorting. Mum and Dad had told me about his family. What was his name…

"Um, yes." I sniffled. "What's your name?"

"Malfoy," the pale boy said. "Scorpius Malfoy." He extended a hand to help me up. Maybe I wouldn't have to be broken for long.
