Getting Cosy

I am slightly disappointed with how this chapter turned out so please don't be too harsh with the comments. I re-wrote this chapter quite a few times and I got fed up so I hope you like the draft(I think I spelt graph wrong) I decided on publishing.

Disclaimer: I haven't found any good material to steal from so I will just say I do not own Harry Potter - sadly :'( - J. does.


"Why me?" Rose asked Dominique, her eyes glued to the list of Prefect Duties, "When they told me I was allowed to be a prefect even though I missed a year I was ecstatic! But this? Why do they have to go and ruin it by putting me with Malfoy?"

"It's just patrol Rose, you only have to do it once a week," Dom reassured her.

"I know, but Malfoy! Out of everyone they could put me with it had to be Malfoy!" Rose said her anger clearly evident on her face.

After that night Scorpius went back to his usual self, insulting Rose every chance he got. The only thing that changed was that Rose actually argued back. It had been two weeks since they had started their sixth year and they had already become famous for their heated arguments and violent hexing matches. Whenever Rose and Scorpius were in the same vicinity people ran away as far away as possible from them, not wanting to be caught in the cross fire.

Rose looked up at the list once again, grimacing as she saw her name next to his. The staff at Hogwarts had to be stupid for doing this, everyone in the school knew about their hatred towards one another, especially the teachers. Did they actually think it was a good idea to put them alone together when they had both already gotten detentions for their actions?

"Looks like I'm stuck with you," Rose jumped as Malfoy whispered in her ear. She had been staring at the list so intently that she hadn't heard him walk over.

Dom looked scared "I'm just going to go!" she said whilst rushing off.

Neither Rose nor Scorpius noticed or cared about Dominique Weasley's sudden departure, they were both all too happy with glaring at each other.

"What are you doing near me Malfoy?" Rose asked aggressively "I thought that bat bogy hex I put on you made it clear! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

Malfoy refused to flinch, a sly smirk pulling at the sides of his lips. "Oh Rose," he stated "What am I going to do with you?"

"What do you mean Malformation?"

"You know what I mean Weasley," he smirked as he leaned closer to her, brushing his cheek against hers. "Just admit that you love me already" he whispered leaning ever closer.

Rose let out a sarcastic laugh. She was blushing furiously and didn't want to show how uneasy he made her. "In your dreams Malfoy" she whispered in his ear and walked off. Suddenly she stopped and turned around, "Oh and I hope this shows exactly how I feel!" She pulled out her wand, "Petrificus Totalus!" She laughed as he hit the floor, his body bound tightly together.


"I have let you sit where you wanted for the first two weeks of school, but today that will change because I have made a seating chart according to talents, to avoid any cheating or laziness!" spoke Professor Grohl, once the whole class had sat down. The whole class moaned at the prospect of sitting next to someone they disliked.

He began to assign people to their seats, "Miss Nott, if you could sit next to Mr Finnegan, please. Mr Potter if you could sit next to Miss Weasley,"

Rose looked up, expecting the Professor to be talking to her. She instantly cheered up, Al was one of her best friends, and Potions would be a blast if they could sit together.

"Which one?" Al said temporarily confused about where to sit.

The Potions Professor stopped assigning seats for a moment, "Oh sorry, Miss Dominique Weasley," he carried on assigning people seats.

Rose slouched back down in her seat waiting to see who the professor would pair her with. Her two best friends were already paired off, with each other no less, and so she would have to deal with someone else from the class. As long as they were alright to work with she was happy.

"Mr Malfoy if you could sit next to Miss Rose Weasley at the front here," Rose Weasley froze in place, as Scorpius Malfoy dropped his things on the table and sitting down next to her.

Standing up rapidly she asked, "Sorry, Sir, but that isn't possible!"

"Miss Weasley, this is my class and I will make the decisions!"

"But sir!"

"No buts Miss Weasley! That is my final decision!" he said and then finished assigning seats.

"Hello to you too Rose," said Scorpius, smirking as she shuffled her chair as far away from him as humanly possible, "I am going to be here a while so we better get cosy!" he said winking and trying to put an arm round her shoulders.

"I thought the body bind curse would show you just how much I like you, so you can refrain from talking to me unless Sir tells us otherwise." Rose replied shaking his arm off, with a not so pleasant smile on her face. She carried on ignoring him for the rest of the lesson, no matter how many times he tried to pester her.


I hope you enjoyed, the next one should be better and please, as always R&R!
