Chapter 3: A Slytherin and a Sorry

All brooms soared into the air most stayed in the middle but two flied to either end of the pitch and hovered in front of the three tall goalposts.

Once Rose was situated in front of the goalposts she searched for the blond boy she had seen and saw him on the other side of the pitch hovering like her in front of the other goalposts.

Rose thought that was why they had had some sort of connection before because subconsciously they knew they played the same position of keeper.

Scorpius watched the rest of his team take hold of the quaffle and rush towards the goalposts that were directly opposite him.

"Slytherin seeker Parkinson takes possession of the quaffle she dodges the bludger hot by Potter, Parkinson's going for goal she throws it and it's saved by Gryffindor keeper Rose Weasley" Scorpius looked up and saw that the girl he had stared at in the great hall and on the pitch just below was the keeper on the Gryffindor team.

He watched her do a victory loop of the goalposts before concentrating on the game again. The game went on with Rose saving every goal Slytherin tried to score and Scorpius saving every goal Gryffindor tried score.

In the end Albus did a nose dive and caught the snitch and then face planted the ground because he forgot to stop in his excitement (he was okay though)

Rose laughed along with everyone in the stadium at the bewildered look on Albus's face as he got up and brushed the dirt of his robes.

Landing gracefully on the ground she was just about to run over to the rest of her team when she heard a little laugh behind her.

Turning round she looked for the source of the noise and was not surprised to see Phoebe Parkinson looking at her with an evil grin on her face.

"What are you grinning at? You lost" said Rose with a tone of anger in her voice that indicated that her temper was starting to rise. Still smirking broadly at Rose Phoebe said to her.

"I was just thinking how does it feel to be the daughter of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger?" Rose looked at her with a questioning look thinking how strange the thing that Parkinson had asked her.

Scorpius was still flying in the air trying to delay the time until he had to land and go to the changing room when he saw Parkinson just below him and just a little away from her Rose Weasley both glaring at each other.

"What i mean is how does it feel to be related to a blood traitor and a mudblood" Scorpius heard what Parkinson's had said and as the words came out of Parkinson's mouth he could see Rose's face going red with anger.

Landing with a thud in-between the two girls he grabbed Rose's arm just as she pulled out her wand but it was too late as she pointed her wand at Parkinson and shouted.

"STUPEFY" the spell hit Parkinson's right in the head and she toppled back unconscious. Madam Hooch flew down and wrenched Scorpius and Rose apart because both of them had been having sort of a wrestling match.

"YOU BOTH ARE A DISGRACE NOW YOU WILL BOTH SERVE A FULL DAYS DETENTION TOMORROW!" these were the words Rose heard come out of Professor McGonagall once she and Scorpius were stood in her office.

Rose sighed as she got out of the office and started to make her way towards the Gryffindor common room but not before Scorpius had seen the glitter of a tear at the side of her eye.

He didn't know why but he felt really guilty at her being unhappy. Making his way back to the Slytherin common room as soon as he got in he went straight up to his room and lay on his bed trying to think of something else except Rose Weasley but he found that just impossible to do.

Rose sulked in her room sitting on her bed trying to read a book but every time she started a new sentence only one thing come to her mind and that was Scorpius Malfoy.

Rose woke up to Lily shaking her awake with an anxious look on her face and saying.

"Rose thank god your awake you're already late for your detention" these words made Rose groan but she still got up and got ready quickly.

Making her way to Professor McGonagall's she saw Scorpius waiting outside and sighed with relief when she realised that McGonagall had not realised that she was late.

"You're lucky that someone else got in trouble as well and she's busy or you would be in even more trouble for being late" he didn't hint any kind of hatred in his voice but a perfectly friendly tone of voice.

The next moment a very teary little second year had stumbled out looking frustrated at being caught after pulling a prank.

Professor McGonagall summoned them in and informed them that they would be polishing the trophies in the trophy room today both groaned out loud and McGonagall said to them in an angry tone.

"Your both lucky i don't write to your parents now go to the trophy room before i change my mind." To Rose the hours dragged by and it didn't help that they were both silent until they had to work on the same cup together because it was too big for one person.

So Rose got a shook when Scorpius said.

"Sorry i got you into this" the apology bewildered her because it had been her that had started the fight and not him and she stated this.

"But it was me that started it you didn't and you shouldn't have got involved"

"But i wanted to" said Scorpius confusing Rose even more in the end she changed the subject and said.

"I'll have to stay in the Library for ages after this to get my homework done" Scorpius looked at the distressed face of Rose and he was desperate to make her feel better so he said the first thing that came to his head.

"If you want i could help you with your homework I've finished all of mine already" Rose grinned up at him and said in a relived voice.

"Yeah thanks that would be good, so I'll meet you in the library after lunch" but before he could answer her with a definite yes Professor McGonagall walked in and there conversation ended abruptly when she said.

"You can go now" and Scorpius and Rose moved so fast out of that room that McGonagall only had to blink and they were gone.
