Thank you everyone for all the reviews. I have been somewhat busy hence, the late update. I have exams coming up so update is going to be kinda slow.

Scorpius's friends surrounded Rose the moment she got off the train. They all were interested in knowing how Scorpius's holidays had been.
Fortunately Rose knew all of their names. One particular brunette, Jessica Dewey kept touching Rose's arms too often, making it very awkward for Rose since she and Jessica had got in to a pretty bad argument back in their fifth year. All of Scorpius's friends hung slightly back when they all walked together as if turning to Scorpius for leadership. When they reached the threstal drawn carriages, Rose was the first one to get in, followed by Jessica Dewey. Rose caught a glimpse of Mike Shortel and David Greene rolling their eyes at Jessica.
'So tell me Scorpius,' said Jessica in a confidential tone, 'why is it that you failed to reply all of my letters? I man after last year I thought-'
Rose shuddered internally.
'Well- I haven't really been myself,' said Rose honestly, then added, 'I'll make it up to you.'
'I know that.' Replied Jessica sweetly.
'I wonder if Scorpius has diabetes.' Mused Rose as the carriages started to move.
…
Everything seemed to be chaos around Scorpius. When with his fellow Slytherins, he usually drowned out their voices, but with Rose's friends, it was different. He had to pay attention to avoid suspicion. He wondered how Rose was managing with his friends. He hoped that she wasn't getting too friendly with Jessica Dewey.
'Rosebud!' came Jeremy Davis's voice.
Scorpius cringed and edged closer to Lily who was beside him.
'Hello.' He murmured.
Lily narrowed her eyes and looked from Scorpius to Jeremy.
'Hey Jeremy,' said Lily tactfully, 'I-err- need to talk to Rose in private. She will catch up in a bit.'
'All right.' Said Jeremy waving as he walked away.
'Urgh.' Thought Scorpius, 'the happy go lucky type.'
'So you can spill now!' said Lily her eyes narrowed with curiosity.
Scorpius's years of keeping his face impassive came in handy.
'What are you talking about?' he asked not really wanting to listen to the answer.
'Just referring to the fact that you cringed away from your boyfriend.' Said Lily dryly.
'No I didn't.' muttered Scorpius walking away from Lily.
'Why are people so nosy?' He muttered to himself, 'No wonder Rose Weasley's so uptight. She's surrounded all the time.'
….
'Ok weasel,' said Scorpius catching up to Rose as they all got out of the Great Hall, 'I can't do this.'
'If I can,' snapped Rose, 'then you definitely can.'
'One room,' said Scorpius groaning, 'So many bloody Gryffindor witches.'
'Only three more.' Said Rose rolling her eyes, 'You might enjoy the view. But me? I have to share a room with three stinky boys.'
'One.' Corrected Scorpius, 'When you are a Malfoy, you sort of get special treatment.'
'Don't expect any when you are in my body.' Said Rose loftily.
'I know that I will be getting it even if I am not in my own body.' Said Scorpius smirking, 'comes with my personality.'
'Don't be so sure.' Said Rose scoffing.
'Oh but I am.' Said Scorpius, raising his eyebrow.
'Whatever,' muttered Rose, 'Oh I met Jessica who asked me why I, meaning you, haven't written back to her. I told her the truth. That I wasn't myself and that I would make it up to her.'
'You did what?' cried Scorpius loudly causing a few first years in front of them to jump.
Rose smiled at Scorpius's reaction but her smile turned in to a frown as Scorpius started laughing.
'Good luck with Jessica.' Said Scorpius starting to walk away, 'There is a specific reason I avoid that girl and now you shall find out. Welcome to my world.'
….
Scorpius had pulled himself up the stairs to the girl's dorm where he was rummaging through Rose's trunk to find a pair of pajamas. Books and more books; quills and more quills; a photograph of Jeremy Davis.
'This one is staying out of my sight.' Muttered Scorpius stuffing the photo at the bottom of the trunk. As he placed the photo there, his hands touched the edge of something velvety and hard.
Scorpius pulled out a book with a lavender colored cover.
'Is this what I think it is?' wondered Scorpius opening the small book.
On the first page were written the words-
Diary of Rose Weasley
'Weasel's diary.' Murmured Scorpius staring at the book.
It was a book filled with pages and pages of Rose's deepest darkest secrets and her most humiliating memories.
'Maybe his can explain why Rose is dating Jeremy Davis.' Thought Scorpius.
He was just beginning to realize the importance of the little book that he held. It was the window to Rose's life and it was in his hands waiting to be read.
Slowly Scorpius started to grin as he turned the page.
…
Rose sat nervously on the four-poster bed. The other bed was sill unoccupied. Rose wondered whom it belonged to.
'Had a good summer, mate?' came a low voice.
Rose looked up to see Josh Carson, a Slytherin seventh year entering the room.
Rose breathed in relief. Josh was one of the good Slytherins. According to Lily anyways.
Though Lily's words might have been a little clouded by emotions, since Lily admitted to having a huge crush on him two years ago.
'Uneventful.' Replied Rose, 'You?'
'Same.' Murmured Josh unbuttoning his shirt.
'Oh no.' thought Rose standing up.
'I'll be right back.' Said Rose as she stumbled out of her bed and rushed out of the dorm.
'That was close.' Thought Rose gasping for breath.
Rose wished he had someone to tell it too. Tell everything to. She usually poured her heart and soul out in her diary.
It was then that something clicked in Rose's mind.
'My diary!' gasped Rose, 'Oh shit!'
…
That was it for this chapter. Hope you all liked it! Review please!
