A/N: Second chapter is up! Yay! It's Halloween this time around, and they are in second year. And this is funny. I hope… I don't own Harry Potter.
"AAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Rose shrieked, causing many people walking through the corridor to stare at her. She spun around and slapped her attacker smartly across the face. But she immediately started apologizing profusely when she realized it was only Scorpius. He was rubbing his cheek where Rose's hand had come into contact with his face.
"What was that for?" he asked indignantly. Rose laughed.
"You know that I'm easily scared," she said. "You deserved it! Besides, are you telling me that if someone come up behind and squeezed your sides you wouldn't be scared?" Scorpius smirked, eyes twinkling.
"I'm not afraid of anything!"
"Right," Rose said, drawing it out to show she was teasing him.
"Any more teasing, and I won't go to the Halloween dance with you," he teased right back. Rose laughed.
"You wouldn't do that – our costumes don't make sense by them selves!"
Scorpius laughed, and he and Rose walked off to their respective common rooms to get ready for the party.

When Rose and Scorpius walked into the Great Hall together, they gasped. It was beyond unrecognizable. There were orange and black streamers and balloons hanging from the ceiling, with Jack O'Lanterns floating through the air. There were skeletons walking around serving sweets out of carved out pumpkins. But the effect of all of the grandeur was diminished when everyone already in the room swiveled their heads toward the two second years. Whispers immediately broke out around the room.
"Are they a couple or something?"
"A Slytherin and a Gryffindor together?" Why did everyone think that dressing up as Jack Skellington and Sally meant they were boyfriend and girlfriend?
"A Malfoy and a Weasley? Is the world ending?" This sarcastic comment came from a tall redheaded zombie standing a few feet away from Rose and Scorpius.
"Shut it, Fred," Rose said snappily. Fred put his hands up in mock surrender. Rose gave him a withering glare. But the whispers continued, and Rose and Scorpius ended up sitting in a corner and sulking, not enjoying themselves at all. It wasn't until later, when a tiny first year girl came running up to them, looking very scared. She tugged on Rose's sleeve, who turned around quickly to face her.
"Are you okay?" she asked gently, not wanting to scare her anymore than she already clearly was. The girl shook her head frantically, and leaned in closer so Rose could hear.
"N-no! I went to go to the bathroom, a-and I heard noises! Like moaning, and groaning – it sounded like a g-ghoul!" Rose stood up at this, alarmed. She dragged Scorpius to his feet and marched him off to the bathroom, with the girl following timidly behind.
When they stepped inside, they immediately saw why the little girl was so scared. One of the stalls on the far left was shaking like mad, and there were horrible moaning sounds issuing from it. Rose and Scorpius stepped cautiously toward it, clutching each other's hands in fear of what lay behind the door. She wrapped her hand around the brass doorknob, and twisted it. The door swung open and multiple shrieks rang through the bathroom. The little girl ran out ashen-faced. Lucy Weasley and Aidan Thomas stood shaking in their underwear, hair mussed up and clothes strewn about. Rose started laughing hysterically as the two guilty sixth years quickly threw their garments back on and ran out red faced. Rose was still laughing, hands on her knees and gasping for breath.
"Oh my god," she spat out between breaths. "Wait until Uncle Percy hears about this!" She spun around, expecting to see Scorpius laughing as well, but she instead found him sitting on the floor in a ball, his eyes wide and unseeing. Rose knelt down and waved her hand in front of his grey eyes.
"Earth to Scor! Are you alright?" He slowly shook his head.
"What was that?" he asked quietly. "I'm scarred for life?" Rose started laughing again, but this time it was somewhat unwarily.
"Do you mean to tell me you don't know about – sex?" Scorpius blushed, and shook his head.
"I'm an only child! My parents never said anything to me!" Rose's jaw dropped.
"So?!" They still should have said something to you!"
"Well, they didn't, so could you just let it go?" He pleaded.
"No," stated Rose defiantly. And so followed the most terrifying and embarassing conversation Scorpius ever had. And Rose was satisfied simply because she had finally scared Scorpius the Un-scare-able.
