Wizard is as Wizard Does

Scorpius's Point of View

It was Monday morning in the middle of October. I really hate Monday mornings in case you don't know. It means I have to wake up at mental time, go and eat breakfast, and get a load of homework dropped on me. Right now all of the sixth years were sitting in the Great Hall listening to Dumbledore say something. I was too tired to even give a care.

"At this time please find the person you share your common room with and take a seat next to them," Dumbledore directed.

Luckily I heard that. I was not moving. I was too lazy to go find Rose. She had better come find me. My head hit the table and I closed my eyes once again.

I heard people walking around and calling for their partners. Someone sat down beside me. I turned my head to see Rose. At least she didn't put up a fight to sit here.

"Scorpius," she pulled at the collar of my shirt to make me lift my head up.

"Yes," I mumbled not budging.

"Pay attention. Please."

"Sure whatever," I sat up and looked at Dumbledore.

Why did I just obey her?

"Today is the day the meaning for partnering you up with someone is all about," Dumbledore began.

He pointed toward the doors and they swung open. A group of adults came walking forward.

"You will be working with a ministry worker from now until the end of this school year. You and your partner will go to the ministry with your witch or wizard and find out a little more about their job. You have to pick out where you want to work soon."

Chatter started to erupt among us. I didn't join in. Instead I searched the crowd of witches and wizards for a familiar face.

"The Head of your House has already picked out your worker. The decision was decided upon your performance in the way you associate with your peers and teachers. Also your academics."

The people from the Ministry lined up in a straight line across the front of the Hall.

"When you hear your name, please come forward and meet your worker," Dumbledore told us. He took out a list. "Julia Hall and Mitchel Fergiston, you will be working with Henry Bines from the Spirits division of the Departmentforthe Regulationand Control of Magical Creatures."

Rose clapped and so did everyone else.

Julia was excellent at communication skills. I was guessing they were pairing you with what they thought you were best at or succeed at. I was anxious to find out my worker.

Around six more groups were assigned to a worker. Suddenly the room quieted. I looked around to see what was going on.

"Austen Gerald and Mikayla Tyler you will be working with Harry Potter, Head Auror of the Auror Office, works in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

I blinked my eyes repeatedly. Harry Potter was one of the options? Crap! That made me feel stupid. He was one of the most famous wizards in history and I was not paired with him.

The whole Hall erupted in claps. Harry waved over at Rose and then Albus. The two kids with him were bright red. They walked over and took a seat at the Hufflepuff table.

"Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley your ministry worker is Michelle Kolbie, an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries."

There was whispering around the room as I walked up to the front of the hall. There was a little clapping.

Oh really? Seriously people, I thought.

Our worker named Michelle pointed at the Ravenclaw table and we sat down.

"Now we as staff expect you will behave as respectable students. Any problems and you will be automatically moved. Your Ministry worker will be happy to answer any questions. Have fun and good luck." Dumbledore walked out of the hall.

Groups started to engage in conversation. I was a little hesitant. Rose was absolutely beaming next to me. I could understand the feeling. This was pretty amazing considering my family was the Malfoy's. They must have trust me a lot.

The name Kolbie, rang a bell. Wasn't their a first year in Slytherin with the last name Kolbie?

"Well, it's nice to meet both of you," she said.

She looked like she was in her middle thirties. She had her brown her in a ponytail and was wearing Ministry robes.

"I should start telling you a little bit about me since we'll be spending most of the year together," she cleared her throat. "I am thirty-five and live in London. I have two kids who go here. Daniel is a Hufflepuff third year and Sophie is a--" she paused. " Slytherin first year."

So I was right? Yes!

"My husband is Nathan Kolbie and he works in the Department of Magical Games and Sports."

I think I had remembered reading an article written by him a few times.

"I like to have fun, but then again, if there's work to be done we have to finish it. You two were obviously very important to be partnered with me. Any other questions?"

"Um, what house were you in at Hogwarts?" Rose asked.

I internally laughed.

"Ravenclaw Rose. I was four years behind your parents." She turned to me. "How about you Scorpius? Any questions?"

I shook my head yawning.

She laughed. "Looks like someone's tired."

I saw Rose just roll her eyes and shake her head.

"He's just pretending to be tired," Rose corrected. "He liked pretending very much."

"Actually, I am tired for once Weasley so why don't you shut your mouth," I snapped.

"Whatever you prick," she muttered, eying me with disgust.

Michelle's head turned from left to right as we argued.

"I take it you two don't get along," she observed.

"Oh we get along. But it's only when Mr. The-World-Revolves-Around-Me, feels like it," Rose mused.

Michelle just shook her head smiling.

I was not going to like this lady. When a person did that it meant they thought it was cute how we argued so much. Or how we were so cute arguing like that. It disgusted me.

"I mine as well give these to you," she took two manilla folders out of her bag she had and handed us each one. "Please keep these in a private, safe place. They're maps of the department that you need to memorize. You see, it can get very confusing. Also there are defensive spells you'll have to learn."

Okay great! Now can you shut up and let me get to go?

"Well, I'll see you two next Friday. I'm hoping we can get some practice in with those defensive spells." She stood up and we followed. "Good bye." She waved and we watched her leave.

Some other groups were still in process. Rose was whipping through her folder. I rolled my eyes.

"You could be a little nicer you know," I told her, carefully taking the folder from her hands.

She tried to grab it back but I was too quick.

"Yeah and you could stop being a jerk face." She cocked her head to one side. "Oh, but that's never going to happen," she sarcastically put it, slapping her hand to her forehead.

"I'm not giving this back to you. You just lost it with that little sentence." I stuck the folder in me messenger bag and started out of the Great Hall.

"Scorpius Malfoy! Give me that back right now!" she furiously yelled.

"Come get it!" I taunted.

I started running down the hall I was in. I heard her footsteps beating against the ground as she ran to get up with me. "Someone isn't in shape," I laughed at her, turning my head.

She growled and pushed herself harder.

I ran even faster than her and took a quick turn. One she didn't spot. I hid behind a tapestry and heard her footsteps slow.

"Where the--" she breathed.

"Catch me!" I yelled, running out from the tapestry. I sped past her.

"Scorpius!" she complained, regaining her pace from behind.

I kept running and suddenly stopped when no footsteps were behind me anymore. I turned around with my hands on my hips, and slowly began my walk down the hall.

"Roooose? Rooooose? Where are you?" I asked her, turning my head at from side to side.

The something hard hit me. I fell over and looked up to see what. There was Rose, breathing deeply, inches from my face. She pinned me down to the ground.

"Give me my folder. Now," she said in a dangerously low tone.

I flipped us over so I was on top. I made sure I was not squishing her.

Please don't ask me why I did this, but I did. I kissed her. And it wasn't your normal kiss. I was deep, hot, and passionate. I was craving Rose. She was like heaven to me.

"Scorpius," she mumbled against me lips. "Stop."

I remembered then that we were in the middle of an empty hallway. I got off her.

"Why did you do that?" she asked me, sitting up. "You need to stop kissing me."

"Well how about you kissing me?" I threw back.

"That was different. I was-- it was--," she searched for the right word. "Impulsive. Look, we need to stop kissing each other. It isn't right Scorpius and you know it. I'm dating Landen in case you've forgotten."

I inwardly scowled.

"You're dating Selena--" she paused. "All I'm asking is that we stop. I thought was already worked this problem out?"

"You're right Rose," I nodded sadly. "We do need to stop. I'm sorry," I apologized.

We stood up and brushed ourselves off. I took her folder from my bag.

"Here," I said handing it to her.

"Thanks." She took it and stuffed it in her bag. "I need to get to class. See ya." She started down the hall at a fast pace.

I stood in my spot watching her leave. I sighed and headed towards Arithmancy.


I sat in Xavier's common room, twiddling with my wand. Xavier came down from his room with a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.

"Hey, what's up?" he asked, sitting down next to me.

I shrugged. "Not much."

"You looking forward to the match against Hufflepuff next week? It is the first game of the season," he said. A look of disgust spread across his face.

I laughed.

"Shut up. It was eggplant flavored," he protested.

"We're winning hands down," I told him. It was a statement, not question. I was sure we would win.

We ended up spending our time eating the Beans and chatting about guy stuff.

Rose's Point of View

It's Monday, my favorite day of the week. It's the start of that that new week, new lessons, new drama, new everything. Though the teachers load you up with homework, it's not that bad if you're smart. Conceited much?

I walked down to the Great Hall to see only 6th years. Landen was on his way out. I grabbed his arm.

"Good morning!" I said brightly.

He smiled and pecked me on the lips."Good morning cupcake!"

"Landen," I bantered. "You know I hate that nickname."

"Of course I know dear Rosie. It's fun to annoy you though."

I rolled my eyes. "Don't you have a class to get to Mr. Wood?" I asked him.

"You are correct. I mine as well not be late for old Sluggy."

"Sluggy? Seriously?" I questioned.

"It's an inside joke with a friend of mine. Bye Rosie." He pecked my on the lips and waved a farewell.

I quickly ran into the Great Hall and sat next down next to Albus.

"What did I miss?" I asked him.

He smiled at me. "Oh you missed a lot."

"What?" I asked him.

"Jules and James almost kissed," hr mumbled. "But it was hilarious. You should have been here Rosie."

"Holy crap! Are you serious? I'll have to talk to her later." I took a piece of toast and buttered it. "Where is everyone?"

"Oh, there's a meeting for only sixth years."

I turned my head toward Dumbledore. He started talking.

"At this time please find the person you share your common room with and take a seat next to them," hr said, his eyes twinkling like a diamond in a million pieces.

I looked over at Scorpius. He banged his head on the table narrowly missing his cereal and shut his eyes. I sighed.

"Have fun," Al said, as his partner, Brielle sat down next to him.

"Thank you very much Mr. Potter." I stuffed the piece of toast in my mouth and made my way over to the Slytherin table, seeing as Scorpius was not going to move. I sat down next to him. "Scorpius." It was polite enough. We decided we weren't talking and I don't plan to any time soon. I tried to lift his head by his collar.

"Yes?" he asked sleepily.

"Pay attention. Please?" I asked him in that motherly tone.

"Sure whatever," he said.

Ha! He actually listened to me. Satisfied?Yes! I decided I should pay attention and looked up at Dumbledore.

"Today is the day the meaning for partnering you up with someone is all about," Dumbledore began to say. He pointed toward the doorway, and a swarm of adults mostly in their mid 30's-40's came walking
in."You will be working with a Ministry worker from now until the end of this school year. You and your partner will go to the Ministry with your witch or wizard and find out a little more about their job. You have to pick out where you want to work soon." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled again.

An eruption of talking and laughing erupted in the hall. This will be interesting.

"The Head of your House has already picked out your worker. The decision was decided
upon your performance in the way you associate with your peers and teachers. Also your academics." Dumbledore said.

I wanted someone cool. Someone with a very interesting job. I watched as the adults formed a straight line in the front of the hall.

"When you hear your name, please come forward and meet your worker," Dumbledore said.. He took out a list and began to read.. "Julia Hall and Mitchel Fergiston, you will be working with Henry Bines from the Spirits division of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."

I clapped. That job was so Jules. She can communicate with anyone, very easily. That job meant talking to ghosts, or spirits I guess is the appropriate title. Me? Not so much. A few more people were paired.

"Austen Gerald and Mikayla Tyler, you will be working with Harry Potter, Head Auror of the Auror Office, works in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

Yeah go uncle Harry! I clapped loudly along with the rest of my family. He smiled at us. I hadn't even noticed he was here.

"Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley your Ministry worker is Michelle Kolbie, an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries."

No way! An Unspeakable. That's so cool. The room was filled with the whispering of students. A little bit of clapping came as we walked to the front of the hall. I smiled at Scorpius but it seemed like he didn't notice.

"Now we as staff expect you will behave as respectable students. Any problems and you will be
automatically moved. Your Ministry worker will be happy to answer any questions. Have fun and good luck."said Dumbledore.

I couldn't help but beam, this was going to be funny. There are two Kolbie's at our school, one in
Hufflepuff and the other in Slytherin. We were seated at the Ravenclaw table, waiting for Michelle to start a conversation.

"I should start telling you a little bit about me since we'll be spending most of the year together," she
cleared her throat. "I am thirty-five and live in London. I have two kids who go here. Daniel is a Hufflepuff third year and Sophie is a--" she paused. "Slytherin first year."

I feel bad for Sophie. It seemed like Michelle wasn't very proud of her. I pushed the thought away.

"My husband is Nathan Kolbie and he works in the Department of Magical Games and Sports."

That's cool! Sports are a pretty good and easy way to have a job. This family seemed very successful. I remembered reading an article in the one of my dad's Chudley Cannons magazines he got every month. They were very good.

"I like to have fun, but then again, if there's work to be done we have to finish it. You two were obviously very important to be partnered with me. Any other questions?"

My hand shot up in the air instinctively, but I quickly put it down. "Um, what house were you in at Hogwarts?" I asked.

"Ravenclaw Rose. I was four years behind your parents. "She turned to me.

I smiled.

"How about you Scorpius? Any questions?"

He shook his head yawning. Prick.

She laughed. "Looks like someone's tired."

I inwardly choked a laugh. Yeah right sure he is."He's just pretending to be tired," I corrected her. "He
likes pretending very much," I said sneering slightly at him.

Actually, I am tired for once Weasley so why don't you shut your mouth," he snapped at
me.

"Whatever you prick," I muttered to myself, glaring at him, disgusted of course, as usual..

She waited silently while we argued.

"I take it you two don't get along," she said.

Good observation. No duh!

"Oh we get along. But it's only when Mr. The-World-Revolves-Around-Me, feels like it," I mused looking at him cocking my eyebrow.

She shook her head smiling. I liked this lady, but I bet she thought we were cute. All around
I like her. She seems nice.

"I mine as well give these to you,"she took two folders out and handed them to us. "Please keep these in a private, safe place. They're maps of the Department that you need to memorize. You see, it
can get very confusing. Also there are defensive spells you'll have to learn."

I smiled already whipping through the folder, I was very interested.

"Well, I'll see you two next Friday. I'm hoping we can get some practice in with those defensive spells." She started to walk away.

Scorpius and I started to follow.

"Good bye." She waved at us.

I waved back.

Scorpius just watched.

I was still going through my folder, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Scorpius rolling his
eyes.

"You could be a little nicer you know," he told me slowly taking the folder out of my hands.

I tried to grab it back but he was too quick.

"Yeah and you could stop being a jerk face." I cocked my head looking at him dangerously. "Oh, but
that's never going to happen," I said sarcastically putting my hand to my forehead, being all dramatic.

"I'm not giving this back to you. You just lost it with that little sentence." He stuck the folder in his bag and started to walk away.

"Scorpius Malfoy! Give me that back right now!" I yelled.

"Come get it!"

Fine. You wanna play that game. Let the games begin.

He started to run down the hall, and I tried to keep up but he was fast.

"Someone isn't in shape," he laughed at me.

I started to run faster, only to find him running past me even faster. Suddenly I couldn't see him anymore so with instinct I made a turn."Where the--" I breathed loudly.

"Catch me!" I heard Scorpius yell, running quickly past me, before I had time to react.

"Scorpius!" I complained. Then I had an idea. Scorpius was still running. I stopped and darted in a dark crack. There was no way he would see me. I heard him stop and start walking back down the hall.

"Roooose? Rooooose? Where are you?" Scorpius asked.

He made his way into my view. When he stopped, I thought fast. In a flash I jumped on top of him. Tackling him to the ground and squeezing my fingers hard around his arms. Wow did he have big muscles. ."Give me my folder. Now," I said in a very very low tone.

He just smirked at me and suddenly flipped us over so I was on the bottom and he was on the top.

Then he pressed his lips to mine. It was passionate and hot, and I kissed back. We stayed in this potion for a long time. Or it felt like a long time at least. "Scorpius," I mumbled against his soft lips. "Stop."

He got off me.

"Why did you do that?" I asked curiously.. "You need to stop kissing me." I said almost laughing.

"Well how about you kissing me?" he threw back at me, got me there.

"That was different. I was-- it was--," I said trying to find the right word. Got it. "Impulsive. Look, we need to stop kissing each other. It isn't right Scorpius and you know it. I'm dating Landen in case you've forgotten."I inside didn't want it to stop but I knew that it has too. "You're dating Selena--" I paused. "All I'm asking is that we stop. I thought was already worked this problem out?"I said questionably.

"You're right Rose."

I nodded, a melancholy look on my face.

"We do need to stop. I'm sorry," he apologized.

I stood up brushed myself off, and looked at him. He grabbed the folder out of his bag.

"Here," he said handing it to me..

"Thanks," I said, as I stuffed it in my bag. "I need to get to class. See ya." I started down the hall leaving him there.

When I got to Charms I sat next to Jules."We need to talk, girl talk, major."

She worded, "When?"

I mouthed back, "Very very soon." The lesson continued, and I didn't bring it up again.
