Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy
"Hello, Scorpius," Rose Weasley said, sitting beside him in the library. He looked like he was actually studding, so Rose decided to sit beside him. What harm could it have done? Rose looked over to see he was reading Hogwarts: A History. Rose beamed to see he was taking an interest in Hogwarts, like she had during the summer.
"H- Hello, you're Rose Weasley, correct?" He said, slightly blushing at the thought that someone had wanted to sit beside him. Many of the people in Slytherin house had envied Scorpius, for his father had been Draco Malfoy, but Scorpius is different from his father. He actually has a secret admiration for Harry Potter, his father's worst enemy. He also loved Hermione and Ron. Now, sitting beside Rose, The daughter of two of his idols, Scorpius felt privileged.
"Yes! You know my name?" She asked, surprised and confused.
"Oh I know all the Weasley's-" He stopped mid-sentence and went back to looking at his book, trying not to look suspicious. However, Rose Weasley knew better. Growing up with the parents she had was fun, but along the line she learned many things that can help you in life. One of those things was: When someone is trying to be normal, they are hiding something. Rose waited a few seconds before she pounced.
"Oh, so you must know George, correct?" Rose asked, not letting the subject go.
"You mean the founder of WWW? Who doesn't?"
"Oh, and what's his sons name again…" Rose said, pretending not to know.
"Fred, named after his brother," he said, not hesitating.
"And Harry's daughters name is…?"
"Lily Luna Potter!" That last answer was so enthusiastic that Rose nearly fell of her chair laughing. After getting over the embarrassment, Scorpius joined in laughing two, and each of them got a nice long lecture from Madam Price.
After their time in the library, Scorpius decided to walk Rose back to her dorm. They got stares from many students as they walked down the hallway that was for sure. Scorpius noticed, but Rose wasn't bothered by this at all. She hardly even noticed. She was having fun, walking with Scorpius. It was like he wasn't even a Malfoy, like he didn't have that title anymore. He was just Scorpius, and she was just Rose.
"Thanks for walking me, Scorpius," Rose said, pulling a piece of hair behind her ear. Scorpius beamed at her.
"Well, if you'd like to come with me next time-"
"What are you doing here?" A familiar voice came from behind. Scorpius took a step back as he looked into the face of James Potter, the person who despised him the most. He didn't even try to hide it, every time he walked down the halls he would try to trip him or call him "Little Malfoy." Scorpius hated the way James treated him, but then again, if his father had to go through what Scorpius was going through every day, he would hate himself too.
"Bye Rose, please meet me in the library again sometimes," Scorpius said, as he started to head back down to the hallway.
"Wait, when?" Rose called, but Scorpius had already disappeared behind the stares. Rose tried to follow him, but the staircase had already changed directions, and Rose was left alone with her cousin. Rose was never one to get angry, she would give lectures, and tell people to behave, but she was never angry. Now, as James had just pushed away Scorpius, Rose has never felt angrier. Rose turned around to yell at him, but James was already preoccupied with his three best friends, Conner, Julius, and Danny. Rose stormed inside the Gryffindor common room, and then went up to her bed room and petted her pet owl, Chester. Then rose got struck with an idea. She turned to her bedside table, pulled out a piece of extra parchment, and started to write.
Harry Potter
Harry couldn't believe what he was reading. Dominique had always sent letters to harry when she was in Hogwarts, usually about happy things. She would tell him about her kitten, her classes, and of course, Teddy. Dom was heartbroken when Teddy left the school; she wrote him a two page letter about how much she loved him and was going to miss him. Yes, Harry was the only person that knew how deep Dom's love is for Teddy. Everyone else thought it was just a crush, but Harry knew better. She loved him dearly. However, now, looking at the shortest letter that she has ever sent him, Harry felt his heart break. He looked back at the letter and re-read every word:
Dear Harry,
I know I've told you before, but I love Teddy Lupin. So much. I can't take this anymore. I don't want to see Teddy again as long as he is with Victoire. Please don't tell him this, he will figure it out when he doesn't get my letters back. I will continue writing to you though.
Sorry, Dominique
Harry was glued to the spot as Ginny came out to see him, wanting to see what the letter was. Harry didn't responded, instead he just handed her the letter and sat down on the chair on his front porch. After Ginny finished reading, she sat on the chair beside him, and they exchanged silent looks. Dom had hit rock bottom.
"Oh my, it has finally happened. I thought it was just a crush!" Ginny said, re-reading the letter like Harry had moments ago.
"It was never a crush, Ginny. He loves her, like the way I love you," he said holding her hand and then pulling her to sit on her lap. Ginny felt so comfortable with Harry, as he stroked her hair and lightly kissed her forehead. Ginny snuggled into Harry as they rested in the sunlight. There couldn't be a more perfect moment.
"Harry, what will happen?" Ginny said, turning to face is beautiful green eyes.
"It's sad to say that I don't know everything, but I can say that love can't be controlled. You either feel that way about someone, or you don't. I love you, but remember my interest for you didn't start till sixth year. No one knows what can happen," Harry said, cupping her face in his hands, "No one."
And with that, Harry kissed his wife gently on the lips. They spent hours out there, talking about their past, about their future, and Harry was loving have some time to spend with Ginny. He hasn't gotten this close to her in years, with the kids talking all of their time, but nether Harry or Ginny didn't mind. They were happy with the lives they had, Ginny with the man she loved since she was eleven, and Harry finally having a family.
Albus Potter
Albus knew what he was doing was wrong. It was painfully wrong. However, when Scorpius came walking back from lunch caring a letter, Albus knew something was up. He got Fred and Roxanne, Roxanne was a year older than Albus and Fred's sister, and dragged them in the direction Scorpius was moving. Albus couldn't help feeling anxious, whenever he even saw Scorpius it reminded him of his father, Draco.
"This isn't right," Roxanne said, pulling her short straight brown hair behind her ears. Roxanne was always trying to be the good girl, but Albus saw through it. She knew she wanted to know just as much as he did, it was such a surprise when she was sorted into Hufflepuff.
Albus had told them that Scorpios had come out of the dinner with an evil grin on his face, rushing down the hall. Okay, maybe not evil, but every face Scorpius made looked evil to Albus. So, he grabbed his two cousins as quickly as he could, and followed him.
They followed Scorpius down the hallway and saw as he made his way toward the library. Wait. The library? Scorpius was going to the library? Albus could feel his cousins stare on his back, but Albus refused to turn back. He followed him into the library, to a spot right at the back of the room. Albus's mind began to turn. What was he hiding? Was he planning something?
Albus waited only five minutes before another person came and joined Scorpios at the table. Albus couldn't see who it was, but he could hear them talking from his hiding place. They were only a book case away.
"You weren't waiting long, were you?" an extremely familiar voice came from the table. Albus had to suppress a gasp. He knew that voice like the back of his hand.
"No, only five minutes. Rose, thank you for setting this up," Scorpius said, beaming at her. Now Rose was trying to get Albus?
"Oh, no problem. I take it you got your letter?"
"Yes, that was a smart idea. Sending me a letter by owl than actually meeting me! Next time maybe we could at least make another time to get together before another family member causes me to leave," Scorpius said, slightly blushing.
"Oh, James is such a bother. Don't worry about him."
"It's all your family! Let's face it rose, they hate me," Scorpios said, collapsing into his book.
"No they don't."
"Yes they do."
"No, they don't."
"Yes, they do! You can't hide it Rose," He said, and Albus could just see Rose's face fall. He knew that look all too well, the look of pity.
"Can I tell you a secret?" He said, speaking so Albus was barely able to hear him,"I begged the sorting hat to put me in Slytherin. It wanted me in Gryffindor, and I said Slytherin. How stupid of me," he turned to look Rose in the eye, "I could be with you."
Then Albus saw something absolutely amazing thing he had seen in years. Rose was blushing. Seriously blushing. Albus has never, in all of his life, seen Rose blush for anyone. Sure, she blushed when she got one spell wrong and accidently singed off some of her hair, she blushed when Hugo made fun of her love for knowledge, and Rose blushed like crazy when she accidently fell on top of James, sending the pie he was holding flying and falling on the back of her head. But this was different. Albus looked over to his cousins, and seeing the shock in there's eyes as well, he mouthed, Family meeting. The three backed out of the library, and then they were off.
