Okay, so here's the next bit :)

Rose POV

Since talking to Scorpius yesterday, I feel like I might actually understand him a little. He told me of his childhood, of how, up until, I don't know, six or seven, he had lived in the Malfoy Manor with his father, but had been taken away by his mother when she realised that Draco was not such a good role model. Even as a young boy, he had been exposed to dark magic, at a time when the adults didn't expect him to be able to understand what was going on. But he knew. He knew everything. He had been perceptive, even then!

I can'r believe he went and punched his bed though! Madam Pomfrey was telling me that he should have gone straight up to her. She had to basically crush his hand before skelegrowing it back to normal! It did make me laugh a little though. Honestly, he is just so funny, and sweet, and kind, and understanding, and -

"Earth to Rose!" Oh great, Albus jolted me from my thoughts.

"What?" I shouted, a little more forcefully than intended.

He stepped back a little in mock shock and said, "Please don't hex me!" covering his face with his arms.

I laughed a little, and said, "What is it Al?"

"Your Dad is in the great hall! I saw him at breakfast."

"What? Really?" and I grabbed my bag, before running out and whizzing down the staircases, taking the occasional shortcut that James had shown to me on Uncle Harry's map. "Hi Dad!" I shouted. He was standing in the entrance hall, laughing with Neville - or Professor Longbottom.

"Hey, Rose!" Ron laughed, when I barrelled into him. Ok, fifteen is NOT too old to be hugging my dad in public! Not for me! "Have you got History of Magic today?" I nodded, smiling. "Who with?"

"Oh, the Slytherins. I have all of my lessons with them, these days!" I explained. "Hi Mum!" I said, spotting her and Auntie Ginny, chatting away to Luna, who had also come to Hogwarts for the day. Lorcan and Lysander weren't so happy about that! Although they would never admit it, they did find their mother a little bit embarrassing, with the way she believed in some of the magical creatures that she wrote about in The Quibbler, and although they did believe in some - such as Nargles and Wrackspurt - they did have the common sense these days to see that there was no such thing as a Crumple-Horned Snorcack! "Hi Ginny, Luna," I added.

"Hello honey!" they said, together. I stood with them for a while, until I heard my name being called from the stairs.

"Hey, Rose!" I turned to see Scorpius walking towards me. He ran over and hugged me.

When Ginny and mum gave me 'one of those looks' I didn't really know what to do, so I said, "Um, Scorpius, this is my mum and Aunty. And that is Uncle Harry and Ron, my dad."

"It's an honour to meet you," he said, respectfully.

"Ah, so you're Draco's son are you?" Ginny asked, breaking the awkward silence.

He nodded, and I said, "Er, we'll see you in class later then," and then grabbed Scorpius by the hand, and dragged him towards the Great Hall. "Sorry about that…" I muttered, once we were out of earshot. All of a sudden, a wave of nausea swept through my stomach, and I doubled over. Scorpius caught me, and steadied me. "Sorry, I just felt a little dizzy…" I muttered, wondering what could have brought the sudden sickness on. We parted ways, and I went to sit at the Gryffindor table, whilst Scorpius went and sat at the Slytherins table.

"Why were you talking to him?" James asked when I joined him.

I scowled, and said, "James, why do you have a problem with me having friends outside of Gryffindor? Honestly, I would have thought that you would be able to get past someone's last name!"

"Whoa, someone's premenstrual!" he muttered, and my heart seemed to stop.

Okay, so this is supposed to be a sorta cliff hanger, and i suppose some of you can guess what's coming next! :) ill update ASAP
