The third chapter of the day.

Oh and before I forget I still need a beta if anyone is interested.

Let's see what happens next!

Of course I do not own Harry Potter...

Chapter 10: Plan B & How to Tell

Zach was having a bad day, he just witnessed his plan falling apart and the guy get the girl of his dreams (twisted, I know). Zach was not going to let the two of them stay together though. No he had already started concocting a new plan that he was sure would work.

"All I need is something to help me travel back in time, and not the time turner, and not the one that the famous Mudblood Hermione Granger used in school. No I need something better. Maybe if I can figure out what makes the timer turner work I can use that to make a potion or an even better time turner that will allow me to go further back in time. I should probably go back to when our parents had just finished fighting the war. Yes, that will work because everyone will be so sensitive that I am sure I can get them all to listen to me. I will just tell them that if they don't listen to me their future and even their children's futures will be ruined."

What Zach did not realize, was that he is messing up his own present and future lie by messing with that of his parents. However that is not going to stop him from trying. All he cares about is his own agenda and getting the little Mudblood (he calls her this affectionately) all to himself and getting Scorp with Sally. If he happens to ruin some lives past, present, and future, oh well as long as he gets what he wants.

My plan will be executed after the holidays, after all it will take some time to acquire the materials I need and set my plan in motion. After Christmas everyone will pay." Zach spoke aloud as he put his finishing touches on his plan he was writing before heading off to the rest of his classes.

Apart from the small mishap with Zach and Jessica, Scorpius and Rose's relationship as well as time a school was going great. Of course there were small fights, and arguments as with any relationship, but they were easily solved with quick kisses, hugs, and even fun pillow fights. Time had begun to fly by with all of the fun everyone was having before they knew it, Halloween and the first Hogsmede trip of the year (which had been when Scorp and Rose had their first date. Which of course was great, except for the fact that Zach and Jessica tried once again, of their own accords to ruin it. However Al, Sable, Lilly, Jake, and even James and Professor Potter, both of which were there to chaperone the students, watched over the young couple and thwarted any plans to ruin their days) had come and gone.

It was now the week before Christmas, and the students were all talking about what their plans were for the break. Rose and Scorp were also trying to decide how to tell their parents. They had not told them yet because they felt it was unfair to tell them in a letter. However they both did tell their parents that they had something important they wanted to tell them and that they were pretty sure they would be ecstatic with the news.

"Why don't you guys tell them as soon as you reach the platform? That way you can tell them right away and not have to worry about say having a fancy dinner and then breaking the news. Then you could spend a good bit of the break having yall's families having a fun dinner and not an awkward one wondering what the big news was." Professor Potter suggested to the students. The Professor had swung by the Heads Dorms to talk to Al, James, and Lilly about their own Christmas plans.

The Head Dorms had become a place for all of the friends to hang. Professor McGonagall loved it because it showed House Unity, something that needs to be at the forefront of the school, apart from the students academic abilities of course. Sable was in Ravenclaw although she always sat with the Gryffindor's, Al was in Slytherin and like Sable liked to sit with the Gryffindor's whenever possible. If the two of them where not found there, they were at either the Slytherin table or the Ravenclaw table off to themselves at the end. Oh and Jake who had become part of their group ever since he and Lilly officially announced that they were in fact dating and had been for a little while was in Hufflepuff and found that he spent a lot of time with the older kids. A lot of it was because they helped him, and Lilly with their homework and always watched out for them.

In the end the two love birds decided to just tell their parents as soon as they saw them on the platform. The students then spent the rest of their time that night studying for the midterms they would be taking that week.

The week flew by and now it was the night before the train ride home. Everyone was busy packing the necessary things they would need for their time away. All students were excited as could be to be able to head home and see their family members they have been missing. Rose and Scorp were excited too, for they could finally tell their parents. Although both of the students were a little worried that their parents, for whatever reason, would not approve of them. Both students have expressed their concerns with each other and their friends, as well as Professor Potter, whom just like their friends told them they had nothing to worry about.

That night the two love birds and their friends decided to have a sleep over in the Head Dorm. They decided to have a little party for having such a great first term. There was cake, drinks (nothing that would get them drunk), lots of food thanks to the house elves, and games and dancing. The students stayed up late and it was sometime in the early morning before everyone crashed out. The students transfigured the couch and chairs into 3 beds. Every couple took a bed and enjoyed the fact they could sleep in each other's arms.

Rose and Scorp were the last to fall asleep each just thinking about each other and whether now was the right time to say something so important. Scorp deciding that he just couldn't hold these feelings in anymore and he wanted to tell Rose, turned over to look her in the eyes.

"Rose darling?" He questioned.

"Yes Scorp?" Rose questioned back.

"I need to tell you something, it's nothing bad, in fact I am pretty sure it is a very good thing, and well I have felt this way for a while and I was just scared to tell you before, because I don't want to scare you away, but…" He trailed off making sure she was listening.

"But what Scorp? Whatever it is you can tell me love. I am listening"

That was all it took for Scorp to blurt out the three most magical words in the world. "Rose I love you. I have always loved you and I am positive I always will."

"Oh Scorp I love you too. I wanted to tell you that day in the Great Hall, but I didn't want to scare you away."

The two lovers spent the rest of the night in extreme bliss and excited for the holidays to come.

The next chapter will be Christmas and telling their parents.

Have fun and geek on.
