A/n- So what are your thoughts on Al and Lily being in Slytherin? Lily and Adam's relationship? How are Scorpius and Rose going to react to being in the same tower for a year?

Silence is the enemy

Against your urgency

So rally up the demons of your soul

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well, gotta know the enemy

Know your enemy; Green Day

Rose's POV

I sat silent throughout the entire sorting, watching the shy first years standing in groups they probably met on the train, as most do. Some grasped others hands tightly while other's gave thumbs up, encouraging the other to proceed to the hat. It reminded me of encouraging Al to sit at the Slytherin table after his sorting seven years ago today. My eyes moved from watching the first years to Al, who was facing me. He smiled a toothy one.

"Our last year," he mouthed.

"Let's make it count," I mouthed back, smiling widely. He nodded and turned back to the last first year to be sorted.

Barty Mitchels was tall for his age, and as he sat at with the hat on his head, I noticed his gray eyes were foggy. After much debate, Barty became the final Hufflepuff.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. A couple of announcements before the feast start. First off, the Forbidden Forest is in fact forbidden unless you have detention with Hagrid. Secondly, Weasley Wizarding Wheezes' products are banned. And finally, magic is not allowed in the hallways," Headmistress stood, her voice still strong and her eye found mine. I glanced away, knowing her entire speech was mostly for my family. "May the feast begin," She added, moving her hand across the hall.

Mouth-watering food filled the table and I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat first. Like my dad, I had a large appetite. I loaded my plate down with chicken, mash potatoes, corn, and anything else in sight. Almost half an hour later, I was whipping my mouth and grabbing some dessert that had appeared.

I had looked up from my blueberry cobbler and apple pie to meet Scorpius' eyes on mine. He noticed that he had been caught staring, and quickly looked down, muttering something to Al. Al looked up, nodded and laughed.

I realize they were talking about my appetite and my cheeks started to heat up. "Oi, Red, pass some pie will you?" Jocelyn asked, stabbing her finger into my side.

I picked up the pie and dropped it in front of her. "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me Red?" I sighed.

"Oh come off it, Red, we've been friends forever. Red just comes naturally," Harper remarked, pushing cherry pie into her mouth. I grimaced, cherry was a revolting flavor and I don't see how anyone eats it.

"So looking forward to being alone with Malfoy?" Jocelyn asked nonchalantly. She must have seen my look of utter horror because she added, "Well it isn't like two people that hate each other hasn't gotten together before. Just look at Lily and James Potter."

"Not you too," I groaned. "Lily seems to think the same thing."

"She's smarter than she leads on," Graham remarked.

A loud tap came and the hall silenced. "Well, you all should be full and tired. Prefects, please lead the first years to the common rooms. Heads, I would like to see you before you leave. That is all," Professor McGonagall nodded and the entire hall started to move.

"I'll see you tomorrow," I mutter as Harper, Jocelyn, and Graham head off. They nod and I make my way to the teacher's table.

"Ms. Weasley, Mr. Malfoy, I would like to congratulate the both of you on your new position. I hope that you can get along with each other and act civilly towards one another," McGonagall started. We nodded our thanks and she continued, "Your head's common room is on the fourth floor. The password is Tortuga. That is all."

I nodded and turned on my heels and walked gracefully out of the Hall. The trip was silent as neither of us knew what to say. It was quiet refreshing, but I guess that's only me. I mean were not exactly enemy's, our family's feud has always kept us from being friends, or that's what I think is keeping us from being friends.

"Tortuga," I whisper to the knight that was guarding our portrait hole.

"Correct," he replied, swinging forward to reveal our own common room. It was breathtaking, like the first time I saw Ravenclaw's common room. There were two plush armchairs on either end of a love seat. A table sat in between the couch and fireplace. A window seat overlooked the lake. The entire common room was a mix of Slytherin green and Ravenclaw blue. It had a very comfortable feeling about it.

On the opposite wall were two doors, labeled Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy. I entered my bedroom, forgetting to shut the door behind me. A four poster bed, lined with blue centered the room. A table to do make-up was against the west wall, in between my door and a door to a bathroom, presumably. My trunk had already been unpacked and my wardrobe had been hung in my closet.

"Well it looks like we'll be spending the rest of this year in each other company," Scorpius spoke, scaring me. I turned around.

"Yeah, it seems that way," I nodded. "Let's set down some ground rules, shall we?"

"Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way," he sneered.

"First off there will be no dates here. I won't bring any here and I expect you to do the same. Secondly, I don't want to be here as much as you do so let's at least try to be civil. Thirdly, no giving the password to your friends and I won't give it away either," I shrugged. "Easy enough for you?"

He met my eyes for the second time tonight, "Sure, Weasley." With that he turned and left.

I shut my door behind him. I lay down on my bed. This is going to be a long year, I thought to myself.

A/n- Okay, chapter four down. I'm proud of myself. Please review, it makes my day :)
