A/N: I know I'm slack, you're probably imagining how you would like to kill me. You know what, I condone the completely, as long as it's in your head and not for real...otherwise how will this story ever end?? Anyway, I'm updating because I wrote a one shot and remembered how much I like writing this paring (and how much I like reviews). So I will write now...

Rose yawned as she woke up, it was Saturday morning and she had to go to Hogsmead with Albus and Scorpius. Pulling herself out of bed she stretched her arms above her head and yawned again. She made her way to the prefect's bathroom. At least being Head Girl had some perks, she thought to herself. She turned the shower on and let the water wake her up. She thought about the day she'd met Scorpius on the train, how different he was now. He was still a little more reserved than her cousin but he had certainly come into his own around Third year, Rose suspected it was from spending too much time with Al.

Climbing out of the shower Rose examined herself in the slightly fogged up mirror; she'd changed a lot in the last 6 years, her hair was long and red, with natural streaks of blonde, it was also curly courtesy of her mother. Her frame was womanly; she had larger hips and chest areas than she did waist, the perfect hour glass figure. Though that was not to say Rose was a big girl, her frame was still small. Her blue eyes portrayed the wisdom she possessed, greater than her years. Her skin was undoubtedly porcelain like, but not in a way that made her look sick, it gave her a glow if anything. Rose liked the way she looked and had no problem with showing it.

Pulling a hunter green sundress over her head she smiled, they were having an unusually warm spring and she intended to soak up every last bit of the warmth today. This was the last weekend before NEWTS started and she and her two best friends had planned an entire weekend of fun activities before they had to knuckle down. Rose made her way down to breakfast with a smile on her face and ready to have fun.

Scorpius and Al were already stuffing themselves full of food when she arrived.

"You boys look like you haven't seen food in ages or something" she exclaimed laughing when they both stopped to look at her, halfway through a mouthful. Al swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled.

"Well of course Rosie, it has been forever, the last time we ate was last night, that was a whole 12 hours ago," Al said grabbing a pitcher of milk ready to pour on his cereal, "oh and Rosie, you look very pretty today."

"I concur," Scorpius said pouring himself another glass of pumpkin juice, "very pretty indeed."

Rose blushed, a pretty shade of pink appearing in her clear, white cheeks. She smiled a thankyou and pulled a plate of bacon towards her. She wasn't the only one who had changed looks wise. Scorpius had grown up and he was now quite well built, playing chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. His once translucent skin now had the healthy tan of a man who spent as much time as possible outside. His platinum blonde hair was cut short at the sides with a longer top, reminiscent of the 80's punk era. His blue eyes gleamed in the sunlight, and his exceptional taste in clothes showed through. Today he was wearing acid wash denim jeans and a black Led Zeppelin t-shirt, Converse All Stars covering his feet. Rose smiled inwardly at Scorpius Malfoy, famous pure blood's son, wearing a 1970's muggle rock and roll shirt.

Albus had grown also, he was shorter than Scorpius, but just a well built. His green eyes always had a mischievous spark, like any second he was going to do something outrageous. He had always been the one who was practical but incredibly wild. His dark hair was uncontrollable, sticking up off his head in a million different directions, but it added to the boyish charm he seemed to have. Girls loved him. He was dressed in a simple maroon shirt and black jeans, a pair of Cons also appeared on his feet, they were the red patterned pair that Rose had bought Scorpius for Christmas; the boys had the same size feet and often just pulled on the pair closest to them at the time.

After eating the three friends walked together to get checked off the list of people allowed to go to Hogsmead then headed off.

"You alright Rosie? You've been really quiet, usually you talk a mile a minute" Scorpius asked, giving Albus a shove which sent him flying into Rose.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I actually can't think of anything to say. I guess my head is overloaded with all the study I've been doing" Rose said, or it could be overloaded with thinking about my best friend in a not just friendly way, she monologue internally.

"Exactly, which is why we're not studying this weekend, we're having fun" Al declared taking a small run up and barging Scorpius back into a bush.

"Hey" was the cry that escaped Scorpius' mouth as he sailed downwards. But having the excellent balance he did his hand hit the floor and he bounced back up laughing.

"Damn you and your super balance" Albus said taking off at a run to avoid being injured by his friend.

Rose laughed as the boys ran up ahead of her, she enjoyed this. Her friends were great people and she adored all of them but Al and Scorpius were best friends and she couldn't imagine anything better than taking the weekend off and spending it with them. Though spending time with Scorpius when she could barely talk to him was a little difficult. He had grown into an amazing man, the boy she'd met on the train all those years ago was a distant memory and she couldn't help but think that she missed that boy a little bit, at least she could talk to him. She didn't know to express herself which was the worst part; she was neither poetic nor romantic.

"Rose are you coming or what?" Albus asked dodging Scorpius tackle attempt, he might not have elite balance skills but he was manoeuvrable.

"Yes, I just happen to not be trying to kill either of you so I don't need to run" Rose called back.

"Come on Rosie you know you want to kill both of us" Scorpius called, Rose giggled as her flats pounded the path to make it to where the boys were both laughing hysterically at each other.

"You two are ridiculous" she stated. Both the boys laughed even harder as they started to walk back down the road. Scorpius put his arm around Rose's shoulder and kissed the top of her head. She looked up at him and smiled. If only he knew what that does to my stomach, she thought.

"I would like to take to take this opportunity to state what wonderful friends I have," Scorpius said a grin on his face, "unfortunately none of my wonderful friends are here so the opportunity is wasted."

Rose punched him playfully in the gut and poked her tongue out at him. Al stuck his finger up at him as they all walked into Hogsmead.

"I'm hungry" Al stated heading towards the pub.

"Al you had breakfast half an hour ago" Rose said bewilderment sounding in her voice as she cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Yes, well, that was half an hour ago and now I am hungry" Albus replied rubbing his tummy.

"You are like a bottomless pit Albus Potter" Rose said shaking her head and following her cousin.

Scorpius marvelled at how little his two friends had changed from when he had met them, obviously they looked different but as far as the family relationship he had been amazed at when he first met them they were very much the same. Of course now he had experienced life in their family, Molly Weasley fussing over her 6 children and multitude of grandchildren and now even great-grandchildren. He enjoyed himself at their house, he spent Christmas dinner there this year, his parents had come with him and surprisingly everyone had gotten along well. The women more so than the men, his father had been stand-offish with both Harry and Ron but once he'd had a couple of drinks he came around and they had started talking about when they were at school. It was at that point that Scorpius moved away from them and went out into the yard where George was entertaining his younger family members with some fireworks from the joke shop. Scorpius had sat down next to Rose and Teddy and Victoire's daughter Ella had had curled up in his lap watching the fireworks make rabbits and horses. It had been a pleasant evening.

They reached the source of food and found a table while Al went and ordered for them. Rose was looking forward to a butter beer, though its warming quality wasn't needed today. She made a face as she saw a group of Ravenclaws enter the room; there was a particular girl in the group that made her cringe, Rebecca McKnight. The girl was always coming onto Scorpius in front of Rose; actually she was just always coming onto Scorpius. Immediately Rebecca spotted them, she detached herself from the groups she was with and made her way over smiling as she came. The thing about Rebecca was that she was a supreme goddess with in Hogwarts. Her smile was beautiful, she was slim, tall, her waist length hair was a honey blonde and she was a genuinely nice person. Rose hated her.

"Hi Rose, hi Scorpius, what are you guys doing inside on such a lovely day?" Rebecca asked flashing them one of her beautiful smiles.

"We are waiting for Al to refuel" Scorpius answered smiling right back at her, Rose scolded.

"But it was only breakfast forty-five minutes ago" Rebecca she giggling her perfect little giggle, Scorpius smiled and nodded, giving the look of 'what can you do?'. Rose wished Albus would come back with the drinks already.

"And what are you doing inside today Miss. McKnight?" Scorpius asked, obviously flirting.

"It's not my choice believe me" she answered, rose watched horrified as Rebecca laid a hand on Scorpius' arm.

"The fun has arrived," Al cried placing the tray on the table, "oh hey Becca, what's up?"

"Not much Al, just thought I's pop over and say hi." I wish you'd pop away rose thought. Albus and Rebecca were pretty good friends since they'd worked on an assignment together.

"You want to sit with us" Al asked off handily, motioning to the seat next to him.

"I can't today, I am out with some friends but I'll talk to you guys later." With a final smile Rebecca left to find the table with her friends on it.

"Talk to you later" Rose imitated angrily under her breath, I hope not, she thought to herself.

A/N: I don't really like Rose as bitter but doesn't everyone know that girl that is, like, annoyingly chirpy all the time? I don't know why Scorp has 80's punk hair and is wearing a 70's band t-shirt but it sounded cool to me. Oh and it was Led Zeppelin coz I'm wearing a Zeppelin shirt right now. Err, I don't know, R and R.

Much love and later dayz
