Herbology went quickly. James and Albus kept to themselves and allowed Neville to teach. However, being only the second day of class, they still didn't do much work. Mainly they wandered around the greenhouse and talked to the first year Huffelpuffs that they had class with.

When the group was wandering through the greenhouse, Lily was hanging back a little and ended up tripping on a backpack.

"Oh, I'm really sorry," a red haired boy said and helped her up. "I'll move it. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Lily responded. "Thanks."

"I'm Luca," he said, and he glanced at the red and gold emblem on her chest. "Oh, you're a Gryffindor? I'm a Huffelpuff," he said and pointed to his own crest.

"Cool," she said. "Do you like Herbology so far?"

"I'm not sure," he explained. "We haven't really done much. But I think I'll prefer classes like Charms or Transfiguration."

"Me too," Lily agreed. "Or Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that one."

"Hey Luca, check out what we found!" a red haired Huffelpuff called.

Luca smiled. "Well, I have to go. Bye Lily, it was nice meeting you."

"Bye," she said and he waved as he was walking over to his friends.

"Who was that?" Patrick asked when she walked back over to them.

"His name is Luca," Lilly explained. "He's a Hufflepuff."

"Oh God my sister is cavorting with a Hufflepuff," James said.

"Whatever shall we do," Albus asked.

"Guys, Huffelpuffs aren't that bad," Rose defended. "Look, people consider them the fallback House, but most of them are really nice. Nicer than half of the Gryffindors even."

"Also, they're particularly good finders," Stella pointed out. "So anyway, class is almost over. We should get our stuff together."

The rest of the group agreed and went back to the table where they had put their books and started to collect them before they were dismissed to Potions. Once they were in the dungeons, Rose begrudgingly went to her cauldron with Scorpius.

"Weasley," Scorpius said when she placed her things under the table and put the cauldron on the desk.

"Scorpius," she said curtly. "If you don't mind, I'm not in the mood to put up with you today."

He sneered at Rose, but then looked up at the board for instructions and began scribbling them onto a roll of parchment.

Rose began taking ingredients out of the cupboard but groaned and pulled her red hair up in a ribbon before she continued working. When she finally got everything they would need, Scorpius had finished copying the ingredients list and had lit the fire under the cauldron.

"Well, first off it says that we need two cups of water," Rose said as she read the list that Scorpius had written.

Scorpius looked around before pulling out his wand and pointing it at the cauldron. "Auguamente," he whispered and the desired amount of water appeared in the bottom and began to boil.

"Woah," Rose said. "That's not a first year spell. When did you learn that?"

"My father taught me," he explained.

"That's so cool," she commented before pouting. "My parents said that I didn't need to learn anything before I came here. They said that Hogwarts would teach me all that I needed to know and then they would tell me anything that I wanted."

"Wow, your parents seem pretty harsh," Scorpius said. He mixed in some blue powder to the potion.

"Well, it's mainly my mom," Rose explained. "All she ever did was study when she was at school. She was actually really anti-social before she met my dad and uncle so she always said that an education is all you need. My dad is always saying though that I need to learn whatever I can in case something were to happen like when they were in school. I really doubt though that I'm going to have to go hunting for horcruxes in my first year."

Scorpius looked confused at first, then a look of comprehension spread across his face and he kept quiet.

"How do we know when it's done?" he asked.

"Oh, so now you're asking the 'half-blood?'" she asked.

He looked away. "You're not a half-blood," he mumbled.

"What was that?" she asked, cupping a hand over her ear. "I didn't quite hear you. Can you speak up?"

"You're not a half-blood," repeated, loud enough for her to hear. "I take back what I said. You're actually really good at magic Rose."

"Thank you Scorpius," she said. "We have to heat it on high for five minutes after we put in the mistletoe berries and then we're done."

The rest of the class passed in silence and they got passing marks on the potion.

"What is it Rose?" Albus asked whenever they met up after class.

"I think," she began, "I think I just reconciled with Scorpius," she explained.

A/N: Please don't kill me guys! I'm really really sorry it's taken so long. My computer was down for a month but that still isn't an excuse. The truth is, I couldn't write the beginning and then I just got fed up with it. But I promise that I'll get back to the weekly updates. In fact, I'm making an Unbreakable Vow to update regularly.

Anyway, I really hope this turned out okay. I feel dumb for introducing another character (that's the part that screwed me over) but I thought it was a good idea at the time. Also, how did the Rose/Scorpius scene go? This is only day two or three of school, so should they have made up so early or should they have stayed mad at each other a little longer. Anyway, bye everybody. Please R&R.
