Alright here is the latest chapter! This is a longer one, I hope you all like it. The style is a little different because I wanted to do Spain all in one chapter, so it's a little choppy.
I want to thankyou all for the review and encouagement. Please keep it coming. Now Enjoy!


The summer had gone by quicker that Rose anticipated. The day soon arrived for her to leave for the Zabini's and it was chaotic in the Burrow. Rose's entire family had been camping the week before and now were all staying at the Burrow to prepare for school and have some last family time before September 1st. Hermione was rushing around the house like a mad woman, making sure Rose had everything packed for school and her trip. Ron was grumpy and Rose suspected he regretted letting her leave. The rest of her family was trying to get their good-byes in before she left and Hugo had refused to leave her alone, once again complaining about how it wasn't fair that he had to wait another year to go to Hogwarts. When the time came for Rose to floo to the Zabini's relief washed over Rose. She couldn't wait to see her friends and finally get away from her family. Rose stumbled out of the fireplace and into the Zabini household.

"Rose!" she heard a familiar scream and Jessica and Scarlett engulfed her in a hug.

"I'm so happy to see you" Rose exclaimed, "I couldn't wait to get away from my family. They can be a little overbearing. Where are the guys?"

"Oh they're already in Spain, we were just waiting for you and then we were going to port key over." Jessica explained.

"Okay, cool" Rose said

Jessica pulled out the port key and Rose felt the familiar tug at her navel. Moments later the three girls arrived in Spain and Rose was once again engulfed in hug, this time from the boys.

"I can't believe we're in Spain!" Rose exclaimed. "This is amazing."

"We'll show you to your room and then we can all catch up, yes?" Jessica asked.

Rose agreed and was directed to the room she was sharing with the other girls. Rose gasped when she saw the room. The room was large with three four poster beds, each with its own armoire and nightstand. The room was a light blue color and the fourth wall was made of glass leading out to a balcony with a view of the ocean.

"Usually you would get your own room but since Scorpius', Alex's and Scarlett's parents are here we have to share." Jess explained.

"This is amazing," Rose said as she flopped on the bed, "How do you own this place?"

"My grandma. She had thirteen husbands over the course of her life. They left a lot of oney behind. Now let's get back to the boys!" Jess said

"Okay, but you have to give me a tour later. How big is this place anyway?" Rose asked

Jessica answered as the girls made their way back to the boys, "Um, let's see. There're the obvious rooms of course: kitchen, den, dinning room, parlor, drawing room, office, library, and the ballroom. I think its seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms, but I'm not sure. The grounds are much larger than the house itself, but you'll see that later."

Rose was speechless, never before had she been in such a large house. Her own house was quite modest, even though her family was very well off, they didn't like to show it. The girls reached the den where the boys were waiting. The group all sat and began swapping stories of their summer.

"My family had their own private island so I was surrounded by them with no outside contact for four weeks! I discovered my owl is afraid of water and it rained for three weeks straight. Best vacation of my life." Scarlett said rolling her eyes.

"Oh that's too bad. But look on the bright side; you can get a tan here. It's supposed to be sunny all week." Jessica said, "and at least you didn't spend your summer waking up at 5am to play quidditch!" she finished glaring at Sterling.

"Hey!" Sterling said defending himself, "You said you wanted to help me. How else was I supposed to get ready for the school team?"

"Well you didn't have to practice so early! Though I guess I can't be too mad at you, I mean I think after all that training, even I could make the team." Jessica pointed out.

Rose laughed, "What position do you play?"

"I'm a keeper, and I've trained Jess to be a chaser." Sterling explained.

"Sweet, you know when I play with my family I'm a beater" Rose shared.

"What no way, I can't see you playing beater, you're more of a chaser."

"I used to be one actually, but once my cousins went to Hogwarts and made the house team, the only positions open during our friendly games were beater or seeker, and usually Albus played seeker." Rose explained.

"I play beater too!" Scarlett exclaimed. Everyone turned to look at her. Not only was Scarlett the least athletic person they knew, but she was also tiny. There was no way she could get any power behind a bludger.

"Ha-ha very funny Scarlett as if you could play beater." Alex joked.

"I'm serious I might be small but I can play" Scarlett sniffed.

"Alright well I would love to see that." Alex said.

"Why don't we play a game then? We can see if Scarlett really can play." Sterling said bouncing with anticipation, "We have enough broom and a set of balls and a quidditch pitch outside."

"I think you're forgetting something here, there are only six of us and it takes seven to make one team." Jessica pointed out.

"That okay we can play three-on-three. A chaser and beater to each team and I will play keeper for my team and Scorpius can play seeker."

"You play seeker?" Rose asked Scorpius.

Scorpius nodded, "Just like my dad."

"Okay come on lets go!" Sterling said running out to the pitch.

The rest of the group followed Jessica down to the pitch where Sterling was waiting with brooms and other equipment. The teams were set, Sterling, Rose and Scorpius on one team and Jessica, Alex, and Scarlett on the other. They couldn't play normally because of the positions so the object of the game became Jessica and Alex trying to score as many points as possible before Scorpius caught the snitch. Meanwhile, Rose and Scarlett hit the bludger around. The game lasted for a few hours until the snitch was caught and the group was told that dinner was ready.

"Well I have to hand it too you, Scarlett, you are a great beater!" Alex commented.

"Yeah, you have to tryout for the team with me, especially since no one else will." Sterling added.

Scarlett blushed, "I don't know, maybe."

"Actually as an after thought I think we should all tryout for the team!" exclaimed Sterling.

"The team only needs a keeper, a beater, and a chaser." Jessica pointed out.

"Well we could fill those positions."

"No Sterling, just no."


The group seated around the table as dinner was being served.

"We get to eat in the kitchen most nights; the adults will eat in the dinning room. I think there will be one night where we will all eat together but mostly it will be like the adults aren't even here." Jessica said, filling Rose in.

Rose nodded, "So Scorpius, how were your holidays? You never got a chance to share before we played quidditch."

"I spent most of the summer with my grandmother. She still believes in all the old pureblood ideals"

"-Don't all our grandparents believe in old pureblood ideals" Scarlett cut in.

Scorpius glared, "Yes, but anyway, she felt that I needed to learn another language; apparently fluent English and French are not sufficient."

"So what did you learn?" Rose asked.

"Latin." Scorpius said quickly.

Alex snickered, "Isn't that a dead language?"

"I tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen. She told me it would be helpful later in life especially if I was to take ancient ruins. Plus a lot of old spells are in Latin. I'm fluent too." Scorpius explained.

"Can you say something?" Rose asked trying to stifle her laugh.

"No! None of you will ever here me speak that stupid language if I can help it." Scorpius said firmly.

"Okay, new topic," Jessica said, "What do you want to do this week?"

"Quidditch!" Sterling shouted

"The beach!" yelled Scarlett equally as loud.

"We have to get our schoolbooks; I got my letter this morning." Rose added.

"I don't care." Scorpius and Alex voiced.

"Sterling, we are not listening to your suggestions anymore. I definitely agree about the beach and we can get our school stuff tomorrow. Anyone have a problem with that? And Sterling that does not include you." Jessica decided.

And so the week was planned. It was currently Monday, and the train left on Sunday. Tuesday the group would get school stuff, and Wednesday they would hit the beach. That left Thursday and Friday to plan because on Saturday the group planned to have a final day at the beach and a bonfire. After dinner, everyone turned in early to get well rested for the day ahead of them.


Rose woke up to a loud banging on the door.

"GO AWAY!" she heard Jessica yell. Sighing, Rose looked up from her bed. Scarlett was up getting dressed and Jessica was still in her bed with a pillow over her head. She heard Sterling yell through the door.

"Don't make me come in there. Alex and Scorpius were good sports, why can't you be too?"

"I was the entire summer! I think I deserve one day to sleep in. Besides you don't need me if you have the others." Jessica yelled back.

Rose glanced at the clock. Her eye widened when she realized it was 5:30am. She got out of bed and flung the door open. A startled Sterling screamed and jumped backwards.

"Okay, okay, we all know I look frightening in the morning before my shower." Rose said while trying to flatten out her hair." Now could you please stop the yelling?"

Sterling sighed and agreed to stop the yelling and let Jessica sleep if Rose joined the morning training session.

"But I'm not even trying out for the team!" Rose complained.

"Neither are Scorp and Alex, but they are being good sports." Sterling noted.

"Fine, I'll be down in five minutes."

"Great!"

Two hours later, Rose found herself treading back upstairs to a hot shower. Sterling had worked them hard and Rose was exhausted and filthy.

"That's what I put up with all summer." Jessica said as Rose walked to the washroom.

"Never again." was all Rose said before the door shut behind her.


A few hours later, the group was preparing to go school shopping. They had all gotten clean after the strenuous quidditch session and had eaten breakfast.

"So just yell, Plaza del Mercado and floo." Sterling explained.

Rose was amazed by the elegance of the place. It was similar to Diagon Ally, but much larger and with many different stores.

"I say we get our stuff and then shop for the day." Scarlett said.

The girls agreed and the boys though reluctant to shop all day did too. After purchasing new books, the boys went to look at brooms while the girls went with Jessica to buy new robes. Jessica had to do all the talking because she was the only one who spoke Spanish. After buying robes, the girls ventured into a few other clothing stores, trying on things, and purchasing the odd item here and there. At lunch, the girls met up with the boys.

"So what did you do this morning?" Rose asked

"We looked at brooms." Sterling replied.

"All morning?" Rose questioned.

"There were so many different models." Alex explained.

"Yeah, those too got quite wrapped up in the brooms. I went to a bookstore and bought some books and a Spanish-English dictionary." Scorpius added.

"You didn't need to do that, I speak it fluently." Jessica told him.

"But you weren't with us, and they wanted to test out a broom. I don't think the dictionary helped much. I'm pretty sure we offended the shop owner." Scorpius chuckled.

"If Sterling had paid attention in language class he wouldn't have this problem." Jessica commented.

"I see no problem in only speaking English." Sterling defended.


The next few days passed by quickly. The group spent some time at the beach and Rose convinced them to visit the muggle town not far from the house and of course there was quidditch. By Friday the group was worn out. Rose was up early and eating breakfast with Alex and Scorpius, and Sterling and Scarlett were out practicing. Alex was commenting on the fact that the adults had not made their presence in the house known yet.

"Thank Merlin." Scorpius agreed.

"Well I for one would like to meet your parents." Rose said, "I mean I still haven't thanked the Zabini's for having me here and the week is almost over!"
"Trust us Rose, when we say you would be better off not knowing our parents." Scorpius said.

"I still think it would be nice to meet them." Rose huffed.

Suddenly Jessica crashed through the door, panting and out of breath.

"What happened to you?" Scorpius asked.

"I ran into my mom. She decided that tonight we were invited to dinner." Jessica sighed.

The boys in the room simultaneously let out a groan.

"What is wrong with you all? Is dinner with your parents that bad?" Rose asked.

"Well, usually it's not too bad, but having a group dinner is just terrible. When our parents get together, they act like it's the good old days back at Hogwarts. It's frightening! Plus once they realize that we are sitting there with them, we start being questioned on all sorts of things. It sucks." Jessica explained.

"And when we eat with our parents, dress robes are required." Alex complained.

"But I don't have any dress robes with me." Rose said.

"Don't worry; I have so many I can't count them all. You can borrow some of mine or we can make a trip to the shops to buy you a new set." Jessica said quickly. "I need to go warn Sterling and Scarlett now; Rose, meet me upstairs in an hour." With that said Jessica left the room in a hurry to find the others.

"This day is going to be hell." Alex commented.

"Why? Is this dinner going to ruin the entire day, I thought it was a night event?" Rose asked.

"Dinner is served at 5 o'clock sharp. Usually the girls leave to get ready at about 11. That's why Jess wants you to meet her in an hour. While you girls get ready, our fathers feel the need to refresh our manners in time for dinner." Scorpius replied.

"Oh, I see. But why does it take the girls six hours to get ready?" Rose asked

"Don't ask us, we don't know what goes on behind that door. Don't be worried though; the girls always come out looking great." Alex reassured her.

An hour later, Rose found herself locked in Jessica's room with Scarlett and Jessica herself. After Jess explained how they got ready, Rose understood why it took them so long to do so. After choosing dress robes, the girls showered, did their hair and nails and applied minimal makeup. Not to mention picking matching shoes and accessories. By the time everyone was dressed and ready to go it was quarter to five.

"Okay we have 15 minutes before we have to be in the dinning room, are you girls ready?" Jessica asked. She was dressed in silver dress robes, with her hair pulled up into a twist. She had applied some makeup and looked stunning.

"I just need to find my shoes," Scarlett said. She was wearing blue dress robes. She wore no makeup and had let her hair loose; a pair of black flats completed her look.

"Rose, are you ready?" Jessica asked through the door to the toilet.

"I'll be just a minute" she called back, staring at herself in the mirror. Rose couldn't stop staring at herself. This was the first time she had ever taken notice to her appearance and she liked how it looked. She was wearing pale purple dress robes with golden accents. She wore a pair of gold colored flats and a few bits of jewelry. She had let Jessica and Scarlett apply a bit of makeup to her face and she herself had pulled her hair into an updo that she had seen her mother wear to ministry functions. Overall she was impressed with the look. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the bedroom where Scarlett and Jessica were waiting for her.

"What do you think?" Rose asked

"Perfect!" declared Scarlett

"You look great! Let's go now; we don't want to be late."

The three girls made there way to the dinning room, but were stopped at the bottom of the stairs by the boys who were waiting for them. They did not see the girls come down and were pulling at their robes and ties, complaining of discomfort. Rose let out a giggle as she was reminded of her brother and cousins in their dress robes. The sound wad heard by the boys who looked to see the girls laughing at them.

"What? These things are itchy." Alex complained.

"Come on, let's get this over with." Sterling said giving his arm to Rose.

Rose looked at him blankly.

"We enter dinner as a couple. I'll go with you, because I can't go in with Jess and Scarlett always goes in with Alex." Sterling explained. Rose looked at him skeptically before taking his arm. The group entered the dinning room, where the adults were already seated. Rose looked closely each as she was lead to her seat. It the head of the table sat Mr. Zabini and to his right was his wife. Rose had seen pictures of them from her parent's school days and they still looked the same. To his left sat the Malfoys; Rose recognized Draco as he looked like and older version of Scorpius and she assumed the woman next to him was his wife. Beside the Malfoys were the Notts, Theo looked like and older version of Alex. Across from them sat, Rose assumed, Scarlett's parent's Adrian and Tracey Pucey sat. She took her place next to Sterling who sat at the end of the table, while the others filled the seats around them.

Sterling introduced Rose, "Mother, father, this is Rose Weasley, the girl Jessica and I were telling you about."

Rose smiled brightly at them, "Thank you so much for having me."

Daphne Zabini smiled back and said, "It's wonderful to finally meet you. How did you meet?

Jessica stepped in, "She was sorted into Slytherin with us and we befriended her, mother."

Shock appeared on the adults faces as they comprehended what she had said. Draco Malfoy choked on his drink and the woman exchanged looks.

"A Weasley in Slytherin! My, that is unheard of." commented Mr. Zabini.

"Yes, I suppose it is, Sir, I'm the first in my family." Rose responded.

"Weasel-I mean your father, must not be too pleased." Mr. Malfoy said as his wife elbowed him in the side.

"Yes, it was quite a struggle for my family, my father actually has only recently started speaking to me and many of my cousins refuse to acknowledge my existence." Rose spoke, holding back tears.

Just then the food was brought in and the sounds of eating filled the room. After minutes of silence, conversation began again. This time it veered toward the upcoming year and the past week. Rose inwardly sighed; glad to have the questioning over with. She could hardly imagine how Alex had dealt with her parents earlier in the summer. Unfortunately for Rose, once the adults were satisfied with the answers from their children the conversation drifted back to Rose.

"So Rose, how are you doing in school? I would expect with who your mother is for you to be a genius." Draco asked.

"Who is her mother?" asked Blaise.

"Obviously Granger. She is like a miniature her." Draco replied.

"Yes, that's my mother and to answer your question, I do well in school. I've been told I've inherited her intelligence many times." Rose replied.

"Which is your favorite subject?" Theodore Nott asked.

"Well it's a toss up between potions and a history of magic."

"Please don't tell me Binns is still teaching." Adrian said.

"Oh, no when Headmistress McGonagall took over the school, she forced professor Binns into retirement. He still lives in the castle but no longer teaches. The new professor is Finn. He is much better than Binns." Rose explained.

"It's good to see you have a decent history teacher; when we were in school that class was used to catch up on sleep." Tracey said.

"Do you play quidditch Rose?" Astoria asked changing the subject.

"I play a bit, just for fun with friends or family. I play beater." Rose replied.

"Are you trying out for the house team this year?"

"No, I'm not good enough, but I think Sterling has convinced Scarlett to try out."

At this statement, Scarlett bushed and nodded, "I might; I shall have to see how much school work I get."

"That is excellent. I didn't know you played that often, my dear." Adrian said, "You know I used to be a chaser, back in the day."

Scarlett nodded as her father began reminiscing with Draco about their old house team.

"You know," Blaise said, interrupting the nostalgia of his friends; with Rose playing beater, the children almost have a full team."

"We should have a match!" cried Theodore, eager to add to the conversation.

The group excluding Sterling exchanged looks. This had never happened before. Sterling looked ready to burst with excitement.

"Yes, I would be seeker, Adrian could be chaser, Blaise you were always a great beater when we used to play for fun, remember and Theo could be a beater as well. But that still leaves us short a chaser and a keeper; otherwise we could play six-on-six." Draco said.

"Excuse me," Astoria interrupted, "Did you forget that I was on the house team in my seventh year? And didn't Anna play as a keeper?" Astoria asked.

Anna nodded, "I guess you do have enough players for a match."

Draco looked elated. "Shall we have it tomorrow morning? Say 9:00 am sharp?"

Sterling who looked equally ecstatic nodded, "9:00am it is. Get ready to lose, Mr. Malfoy!"

The rest of the adolescents looked shocked at the idea of a game, not to mention the way Sterling had completely forgotten his manners when speaking to Mr. Malfoy. Dinner ended shortly after the game was decided. The group took their leave to the boy's bedroom while the adults stayed behind to discuss tactics.


Almost immediately after everyone sat down, Sterling launched into a speech. No one wanted to listen to him rant about quidditch so the girls left to Sterling shouting, 'and get to bed early, we've got to prepare for the morning, so be up at 7:00am!'

The next morning arrived and at 7:00am sharp, the six met on the quidditch pitch. They had chosen to wear plain white t-shirts and black quidditch pants. Each was equipped with the proper equipment and was listening to Sterling's pre-game speech. Then they did a few warm up laps and soon it was ten minutes to game time. As Sterling called the group in, the adults appeared in green quidditch robes. The game was on.

Three hours later, Draco and Scorpius were neck in neck in a race to catch the snitch. With his arm a few inches longer, Draco reached out and wrapped his had around the snitch. Be that as it may, the adults still lost the match with the final score being 270 – 200. The smirk was wiped off of Draco's face once the final score was announced and put on Scorpius'.

"That's just scary." commented Rose.

"I know. You'll never get used to it, trust me." replied Jessica.

Sterling flew down from his position at the goal hoops and grabbed Rose and Jess into a hug chanting 'we won!' The rest of the player flew down and the mothers congratulated their children on the win. The men on the other hand were grumbling over their loss, especially Draco and Adrian.

"You can't get the bloody quaffle past him!" exclaimed Adrian.

"That girl is a menace, you wouldn't think she could hit that hard!" commented Theodore.

"At least I caught the snitch!" Draco said proudly.

The children laughed at the men's antics. Finally they came to shake hands.

"I haven't seen keeping like that in years Sterling. If you don't make the house team, something must be wrong with that captain." Adrian said congratulating him on the win.

"That's my boy!" Blaise said proudly, "And Scarlett, you should definitely try out as well, you make on hell of a beater."

The other men agreed, and then looking to the rest of the team quickly said, "Not that the rest of you aren't good too."

"No offence taken, sirs, I'm sure I speak for all of us that we only play quidditch for fun." Rose said smiling, "I have to hand it to you. You make quite the team. When my family plays kids vs. adults, usually the score is much worse."

"So you're saying that currently were better players than Potter and Weasel-Weasley?" Draco asked.

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy. I would have to say that if you played them you would definitely beat them." Rose said and the men walked away looking much happier.

"Did you really mean that, your aunt used to play professionally?" said Scorpius.

"Yep, they really aren't that good anymore, either that or they let us win all the time."


Later that day the group was hanging at the beach. They had decided to have one last relaxing night before they left to school the next day. The girls were sun bathing and the boys were out in the water splashing around. It was the perfect way to end the week. They were also planning to have a bonfire when it got dark later that night.

Rose had almost fallen asleep lying in the heat of the sun when a scream filled her ears. Opening her eyes, she saw Scarlett had been drench with water and he boys were laughing running away back to the water.

"Oh you are so dead!" Scarlett yelled running after them.

Rose looked to Jess, "I suppose we should help her?" The two girls ran after the rest. When the girls reached the water, Scarlett was on Alex's shoulders trying to dunk him under. "come help me!" she yelled as she saw them.

Jess and Rose joined Scarlett each taking a boy and a splashing war ensued. The boys came out victorious with the girls begging to stop. They stopped and caught their breath for a moment.

"Anyone up for a chicken fight?" Rose asked, once she had caught her breath

The group gave her blank looks.

"You don't know what a chicken fight is?" Rose asked astonished, "Okay so we make a team of one boy and one girl. The girl sits on the boys' shoulders and then the pair fights another pair trying to knock them down"

After the explanation, everyone split up. The pairs were: Scarlett and Scorpius, Jessica and Alex, and Rose and Sterling. Rose and Sterling came out triumphant beating Jessica and Alex in the final round.

"That was awesome!" exclaimed Jess, "I'm starving though. Let's have that bonfire now.

A few hours later, the group sat around the fire roasting marshmallows.

"This is the best summer I've ever had." Rose said.

"Yeah it was pretty awesome." added Scorpius.

"I can't believe we have to go back to school tomorrow." Alex said.

"I think it's going to be a good year." Sterling said.
