A/N: I'm starting to write this the second after I posted chapter five, so don't hurt me! Please! Okay, I really don't know what's going to happen this chapter – you see, the author's note on the top is pre-writing notes, and the a/n on the bottom is post-writing notes. So if you want to fully understand my thought process (Or at least try to – I have an exceptionally weird brain) you might want to find the time to read both notes. Also, I realize how short my chapters are, and I'm sorry. My little goal here is that every chapter I write has to be longer than the last one – unless of course, the last chapter was extremely long and nothing is happening in the next chapter.

So this story was originally only going to be like 3 chapters, or a oneshot, but now it's going to be more like 15-20. So be prepared, because I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon! And, like I've said countless times, I have a large number of other stories that I'm working on while writing this.

I also have exams coming up, so my updates are going to be really scattered and inconsistent, so I apologize ahead of time.

Chapter Five Recap: Al knew he had seen Scorpius on the platform – hell, he had even talked to him! So he was either snogging someone in some hidden closet, or he was gone.

Somehow, Al knew that the former was highly unlikely (The boy was in love with his cousin, after all), and the latter was all too likely.

As you can imagine, this went over like a ton of freaking bricks.

Hate To Love Chapter Six

Al enlisted all of his relatives, everyone he knew, and they all went looking for Scorp. It seemed that no one could find him, and the last person to have seen him was – shockingly, Rose.

"I accidentally walked into him! I fell over, and he helped me up, Merlin knows why, but he did. He seemed really out of it, and wasn't himself – I mean, the boy freaking helped me UP! That just goes to show that something was beyond majorly wrong with him!" She narrated. Al narrowed his eyes.

Rose was rambling, and she only rambled when she was scared, or nervous. She didn't get nervous about people asking her questions, and she should've been happy that her worst enemy disappeared.

Anyone else would've just thought that she was trying to get out of something, or something or the sort, but Al knew better.

"Rose, can I speak to you for a second?" He asked.

"Go right ahead Al." She said back, and for a split second, he saw her mask slip, and pain showed through.

But as fast as it happened, it disappeared, and a cool, calm, and collected Rose stood in front of him.

"Alone?" He asked. Al really didn't want anyone overhearing the conversation he was about to have with Rose, and he desperately needed to get her alone.

She nodded mutely, seemingly unable to speak.

He pulled her out of the compartment they were in, into the hallway, and into the closest empty compartment.

"Rose, I know you act like you hate Scorp, and everyone believes you, even he does. But there are five people out there that you can never fool about your feelings. One: your mother. Two: you dad. Three: Me. Four: Elaina. Five: Hugo." Albus told his cousin calmly.

"I don't know what you mean! I'm not fooling anyone! I hate him, the little git! He's a complete prat to me, he hates me, and -" Al cut her off by covering her mouth with his hand.

"You don't hate him Rosie! That's the thing! He doesn't hate you either! He never did, doesn't, and never will! You need to stop lying to yourself, because you'll only end up hurting two people: you and him. Trust me."

Al's goal had been to get through to her, to make her admit to herself her real feelings, even if they were only that she didn't totally abhor the blonde-haired blue-eyed boy that happened to be his best friend.

He never expected her to break down on him.

Right after he finished talking, and had removed his hand from her mouth, she went completely still, and then started shaking.

"Okay! Okay you got me! I never hated the bloody git! I thought I did in the beginning, because he was stealing my best friend away! He was the kid that rejected my kindness, that hated me from the beginning, and I couldn't get over it! And then after that…incident last year, I finally realized that! But when I went to go find him I ran into that bastard, Evan, and I decided that if I dated him I would stop liking Scorp! I know it was stupid but I couldn't help it, I mean, how would you like to be in love with your worst enemy?" She cried, and then tears began streaming down her face, and she held herself tightly, like she was trying to block out pain. Al stood in shock for a minute. Rose loved Scorpius? She didn't just not hate him? And then he realized she was crying, and immediately was shocked by that as well – Rose never cried.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. It's okay. Hush. I knew the whole time why you were dating those gits. You wanted to block him out, and make him jealous. And trust me when I say you succeeded at one of those things." Al soothed. He put his arms around her and held her while she cried.

"And I dunno, fighting with him was at least getting his attention, and it felt weird to just outright ignore him, so I just kept – kept" she cut off, sobbing even harder.

"It's okay Rosie, we're gonna find him, don't you worry. Don't you worry about anything. We sent owls to Hogwarts, and the Headmaster will talk to the ministry, to see if they can find out what happened to him." She nodded slowly, the tearstains still evident on her face, but she looked much more relaxed.

Albus was relieved – Rose may have been his cousin, but that didn't mean he wanted to see her cry!

He led her out of the closet slowly, supporting her, because she looked so fragile and delicate at the moment.

Looking left and right up the corridor, he caught sight of Elaina.

Her face changed instantly from one of worry to one of relief.

"Oh, dear Merlin, I was worried that you two had been kidnapped as well!" She exclaimed as her now short caramel hair waved behind her.

Al was glad to find someone to give Rose to, but was even more happy to see Elaina. It seemed that somehow she had gotten even more beautiful over the summer. Her hair was now in a choppy bob, with natural highlights framing her face. Her figure had gotten even more perfect, and Al wondered why a perfect angel like her would ever show the slightest interest in him – after all, she was his friend, which was more attention than he ever expected from the likes of her.

He shook his head, immediately bringing him back to reality.

"Have we received anything back from the school?" he asked.

"Not yet. But I expect that we'll be getting a reply soon." Elaina answered.

A moment of awkward silence ensued, before Elaina spoke up again.

"You worried about him Rosie?" We all knew who she was talking about.

Rose shook her head violently, and Al could tell that she was trying her hardest not to start crying again.

Elaina's face twisted into a compassionate and sorry look, and she wrapped her arms around Al and Rose together.

Al, personally, thought that he was going to die of shock – Lainey, his Lainey, had her arms around him! Then again, it was for Rose's sake, but so what?

Rose was still trying not to cry, but felt better with both of her best friend's arms around her. Two of the people she cared most about were with her, and it almost made up for the hole in her heart that was Scorpius' disappearance.

She may not have wanted to admit it, but there was something addicting about the blonde boy who she pretended to hate.

There was, after all, a reason that he had so many fan girls. It couldn't just be his good looks, lean physique, money, or attitude. It was his charisma that drew people in – he wasn't anything like his grandfather, and was nothing like his father was in school. He was his own person, and got along with everyone, and could pull anyone in. Well, everyone except for Rose Weasely. She was the variable in his otherwise simple equation.

Al knew all of this, and more. He had known, along with James, since the day they met, that they were going to end up with each other.

You see, there are certain people that can't help but be drawn to each other. Even if the only time they spend together is to yell the the other, they still spend most of their time thinking about the other, even if it is in a negative light. They always spend more time with each other than any other person of the opposite gender, and they are so perfect for each other, so right, that everyone immediately knows from the beginning, that they had something special, something different that shouldn't be messed with.

It was like this for Scoprius and Rose. They loved to hate each other, and hated to love each other. But they were never ones to go with the flow – so they loved each other. Hated it, but they did, all the same. They did everything they possibly could to stop it, but when you have two people like them, resistance is futile.

That was the reason why, against all odds, Rose was crying into the embrace of her best friend and cousin.

She loved him.

A/N: HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! What in the world just happened? Why did my writing get so DEEP all of a sudden? Where in the world is Scorp? Also, I know I switched tenses, but I felt like it needed to be done. You can scold me now.

Okay, so none of this was supposed to happen. This whole story has been a fluke. (A good fluke, but a fluke just the same.) I was going to have the train stop, and the Headmaster/Headmistress show up with like, Ministry officials or something. But instead, I was busy have deep epiphanies. *Sigh*. This is a normal day for me.

You had better all be GRATEFUL for this chapter, because I really should be writing an English essay (It's due THU, but I have late play practice all week – I mean, our play is on FRI! Ahhh!), and doing my Bio HW, but I've been writing this for you all! Can you believe it though? This chapter (Not counting A/N's and other stupid stuff) is 1,600 words! Woot! Compare that to the first chapter!

Review and tell me if you think the whole epiphany/deep thing is total crap – I think it is!

Peace out. Lawls.
