A few months had gone by and Albus or Scorpius hadn't spoken to Rose at all. They'd seen her around, but all they got from her was a disgusted or dirty look like she didn't want to know either of them. It didn't bother Albus or Scorpius one little bit. Now she wasn't annoying them, they had more time to spend with each other.
Albus and Scorpius were sat under a tree in the grounds outside enjoying the sunny day when their time together had to be ruined by the one and only Rose Weasley.
"Oh, look out, here she comes. I knew it wouldn't last." Said a rather annoyed Scorpius.
Albus put a hand on Scorpius' arm trying to calm him down. "It's alright Scorpius. We can handle her."
Scorpius nodded and placed his hand over Albus' hand, "I know."
Rose sauntered over noticing the two Slytherins were, in a way, holding hands. She frowned but didn't mention it. Instead she said,
"I know I said you were in the wrong house Albus, and I want to take this opportunity to say I made a huge mistake. I've done a lot of research on the Slytherins, and I've realised, you certainly don't need to be evil to be one."
"So you've finally used that oversized brain of yours?" Asked Scorpius.
Albus squeezed his arm, "Scorpius, stop it, please."
Scorpius held Albus' hand slightly tighter and mumbled an apology.
"Glad to know you've come to your senses, Rose." Said Albus, smiling.
"This doesn't mean I'm happy about you two being so close." She retorted quickly.
"Why should that bother us?" Asked Albus.
She frowned and sauntered off without saying a word.
"Well, that went well." Said Scorpius, raising both his eyebrows.
"Indeed." Said Albus.
"You know Albus, I'm glad the sorting hat put you in Slytherin. If not, we might have been enemies like our fathers before us." Said Scorpius, still holding on to Albus' hand.
Albus nodded, "I'm glad too. Our fathers might have been brilliant friends if they had been in the same house."
"I agree." Said Scorpius.
Albus sighed and rested his head on Scorpius' shoulder, "Oh well, they are the ones that had to miss out on a great friendship, that's not our fault."
Scorpius smiled, "True." He paused for a moment then continued, "Your actually the best friend anyone could ask for Albus, I'm lucky to even know you, and I mean that."
Albus smiled, moved his hand from under Scorpius' and hugged him tightly.
Scorpius hugged back, never wanting to let go. He realized from that moment on, he'd do anything to protect his best friend.
