A/N: I'm so sorry. I'm not your average fanfiction writer who gets caught up and distracted and doesn't update for weeks – I try to update at least once a week, not necessarily on the same day, but close. But in this case, I think I deserve to be cut some serious slack. Last week I had a huge essay due, a proficiency, (I play the viola – it's better than the violin. So much cooler. Anyway, a proficiency is like a final exam in strings, and I had to play a chromatic scale, sight read, and do some crazy rhythm stuff. It's really hard, and I had to spend a lot of time prepping.) I have exams this week, have class still, have outing day/awards day, and a TON of other crap. And then next week I have to go on a end of year rafting trip, and then I'm finally on vacation. I also have an art exam tomorrow – I know, an ART exam? WTH? I have NO idea why…probably cause we just finished studio 1?

In all basics, I have very good reasons, but I still and really really REALLY sorry about taking so so soooo long. Forgive me? To make you all feel better I suppose I could always make this chapter extra long…we'll see!

Also, I'm in the midst of writing two (Maybe three) oneshots – so please please please read them when they're up. I don't want to sound like I'm begging, but…

Chapter Six Recap: 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.

Chapter Seven:

Rose shivered, and then suddenly pulled herself away from Al and Elaina. She had a determined look on her face, and Al knew that anyone would have to be insane – literally – to cross her at a time like this.

"Okay, so we need to -" she began, but got cut off, because the train had come to a stop. The three teens all looked up fearfully, remembering horror stories from the years of the second wizarding war. Back then, when the train was stopped, bad things typically happened.

They couldn't have been farther off. The people that ended up getting on the train were not death eaters, or dementors, but several of the Hogwarts Teachers, and about 10 aurors (This included the head auror, Harry Potter, and his second in command, Ron Weasely. So basically, 1/5 of the aurors were related to Rose and Al.) , and around 6 other ministry people.

The headmaster came forward first.

"We need everyone to work together here. Who was the last person to see Scorpius Malfoy?" He asked, his commanding voice loud enough so everyone on the train could hear him.

Rose came forward timidly, something Al had never seen her do. She was in Gryffindor for a reason, wasn't she? True to her name, and hair, she was like fire – bold, reckless, wild, and hot. (No, not that way you pervs!) Everything she did commanded attention, no one's attention more than Scorpius.

"I was." She stated with more force than she seemed capable of. It seemed to Al that she was getting her courage back, because she was getting angry. Trust anyone – when Rose Weasely got angry about something that really mattered to her – something more important than the trivial matters she argued about with Scorpius, you didn't want to be in her way. (A/N: I have the same issue. When I get ticked off, I just sort of make a DG at someone, and they scare off immediately. But when I get really mad, like super mad, I start seeing red, can't stop the tears, and typically do a lot of very scary shouting. I'm one of those people, that when they start getting beyond pissed, they start crying out of frustration, because we can't yell loud enough. I know, failure.)

Aurors starting scouring the train for clues, finding out exactly where Scorpius had been, and exactly at what point he had disappeared. The headmaster and Rose's uncle stepped forward to start questioning Rose.

"Elaina, Albus, you are not needed here." The headmaster stated when they didn't start to move like everybody else.

Elaina got a hard look in her eye, and grabbed Al's hand, showing everyone that she wasn't moving. The Headmaster didn't seem to believe it though, and looked at them in disbelief. He raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry headmaster, sir, but we aren't going, well, anywhere. Rosie is our best friend, and we can't abandon her at a time like this." Al spoke up, receiving the message from the girl he loved instantaneously. He hadn't fallen in love with her for no reason – they could communicate without words, one look and they knew almost exactly what the other was thinking about.

Rose looked up, her face considerably happier.

The Headmaster, still skeptical, opened and closed him mouth a couple of times before replying. "Oh, okay then." Elaina grinned wickedly, accomplishing her goal to make an important person speechless. She always was one for oddities…

They all moved into a compartment that had been cleared out to begin the questioning.

"What exactly happened when you saw Mr. Malfoy Miss Weasely? I know that the two of you don't have…the best relationship exactly." Rose nodded, strengthened by the fact that her two best friends in the world were sitting next to her, and would back her no matter what.

It also helped that her uncle and father were in the compartment as well.

"I was just getting onto the train, had waved goodbye to my parents, and was looking for a compartment to sit in, and to maybe find some of my friends or cousins. I've always been well known for my klutziness, and my inability to stand upright without falling, so I wasn't surprised when I completely walked into a solid mass of someone. When I looked up, I noticed that it was Scorpius. I mean, the two of us hate each other, so I didn't expect him to do anything, except maybe laugh, but instead he held out his hand to help me get up. He had a strange look in his eyes, and couldn't stop looking around, almost desperately. It was the first time I've ever had him try to get me out of his sight as fast as possible – usually we take a long time and insult each other, make some digs at each other, and then storm off furiously. But this time he seemed kind of crazy, desperate. He gently pushed me towards the other end of the train, and headed off left, going as fast as possible without looking rushed."

Everyone in the compartment just stared off into the distance, contemplating the meaning of Rose's story. They all wondered if Scorpius Malfoy somehow knew that he was going to be kidnapped, and that's why he wanted Rose to get out of there as fast as possible. Because clearly he had an agenda, and it wasn't to go shag some poor girl in a broom closet, because otherwise he wouldn't have ignored Rose. He never did. Was never able to, and everyone there knew it. Except for maybe some of the other aurors, but they really didn't count. Because, really, who counted them? They probably had no idea what Scorpius thought of Rose and vice versa.

Harry stood up.

"It seems that Scorpius knew something was going to happen. We're less than an hour away from Hogwarts, where Astoria and Draco Malfoy will meet us to discuss this issue. Rose, you will be allowed to do what you wish, along with Al and Elaina, but please be prepared to fully cooperate if we need you. We'll try to find Scorpius as fast as possible, and get him back to everyone safely. Thank you. Oh, and can I speak with you for a minute Al?" The head auror said.

Rose left with Elaina's arms wrapped around her, both of them trying to support the other. They both knew that whatever happened to Scorpius, it wasn't just some joke. It was serious, and he could be seriously hurt.

Al watched the two most important girls in his life walk away together, one trying to sooth the other, and the other trying to face her true feelings towards a certain blonde-haired, grey eyed hottie that happened to be his best friend. And also happened to be missing.

He turned towards his father, standing by himself in the now empty compartment.

"Yes dad?" He asked.

" Originally, I was just going to ask about Scorpius and Rose's relationship…but I've changed my mind." Harry replied.

Al just looked confused.

"First tell me about Rose and Scorpius." Harry finally said.

Al nodded.

"They've acted like they hate each other since the second they met each other. They met on the Hogwarts Express, and have shouted at each other practically every day since. The two of them fought like cats and dogs in first year until now. Scorpius became my friend in the boats, even James started to like him. Everyone got along, and we all really did like Scorpius. He's not his father or grandfather, not even close, and I think even Uncle Ron could attest to that. Since Scorp and I have been best friends, we tell each other practically everything. Of course, it wasn't until 3rd year that Scorp told me that he had fancied Rose since day one, and that's why he argued with her so often – he was scared of falling for her, scared of love. Besides, he likes riling her up. Last year, they got into an argument that James and I overheard, where they questioned the fact that they hated each other. Then, they avoided each other for a month. It was the longest they've ever gone without arguing, or speaking, or interacting. Elaina finally convinced Rose to go talk to him. Scorpius himself interrupted their little talk, and they started arguing. He finally shut her up by kissing her, and shockingly enough, she kissed him back. They both ran off, and the next morning Elaina convinced Rose to go talk (Yet again), to Scorpius. But before she could, she ran into Evan Brown-bloody-Finnegan. He asked her out, the player, and she said yes. After that, Scorp and Rose together was impossible. The two wouldn't talk, wouldn't do anything besides stare at the walls. Even after Evan and Rose broke up, the two of them have had a messed up relationship. The good thing is, after that, the two of them started having their frequent shouting matches again. Makes us all feel better." Al explained while Harry just looked off into space, contemplating what his 16 year old son was telling him.

"Thanks for explaining all of that. Even though I see Rose constantly and Scorpius practically all summer, I don't see the two of them interacting much. That explains a lot about the way they've acted…" Harry finally said.

"Anyway, what's going on between you and Elaina? I may be an old uncool dad, but I notice certain things…sparks, between people. That and I saw how your face lit up when she grabbed your hand. So how long have you been in love with her?" Harry asked, and Al groaned.

It seemed that everyone knew who the members of the Potter-Weasely clan were in love with, no matter how much the person tried to hid or deny it.

Well. That sucked.

Plus Scorpius was still missing, and the bastard knew he was going to get kidnapped, and had thus made the object of his affections realize that she was in love with him.

What an interesting day.

A/N: So here, I present to you, is the long awaited chapter seven! Be proud of me! I finally took the time to write this, even though I didn't want to! So what does everyone think about Scorpius knowing he was going to get kidnapped and Rose realizing she loved him? Also, isn't Harry just awesome? This is my longest chapter yet (I know it's really short. I'm so sorry for that!) and I just kept writing and writing and writing. I'm going to go back to studying know, so I'm going to cut this A/N really short – for once! Thanks! Review, and tell me what you thought! (Also, I'm sorry for having this story moving along so slowly, but I think that to really understand the characters, we have to explain their feelings, and that takes a long time. A very, very long time.)

I didn't edit this chapter, so sorry for all mistakes.
