'Well well,' said Josh wiping his face with a towel, 'aren't you up early.'

Scorpius barely looked at his best friend. He had some other things on his mind.

He stood up, ready to go downstairs to breakfast and ask Albus to give him an update on Rose's condition.

'So heard you went to visit Weasley yesterday,' Josh was saying, 'how was she?'

'Critical.' Replied Scorpius curtly, his face stony.

'what's up with you?' asked Josh frowning as he looked at Scorpius.

'What?' asked Scorpius momentarily distracted.

'You look kind of pale.' Replied Josh, 'you running a fever?'

Scorpius shook his head. Chitchat was the last thing on earth that he felt like doing now.

Josh shrugged as they entered the Great Hall together. Scorpius's eyes immediately went over to the Gryffindor table. However, Albus was not there, neither was Lily or Hugo.

'Keep a seat for me.' Said Scorpius to Josh, 'I need to have a word with someone.'

Scorpius walked over to the Gryffindor table and patted Lisa Dunning on her shoulder. Lisa Dunning was Albus's sort of girlfriend.

'What?' she asked turning to Scorpius.

'Where's Albus?' asked Scorpius his body tensing up.

'Why?' asked Lisa slowly drinking her pumpkin juice.

'I need to ask him something.' Replied Scorpius impatiently.

Lisa finished her whole goblet of juice before replying. By that time, Scorpius felt like ripping his hair out which was saying something because he loved his hair.

'Are you kidding me?' he snarled.

'I don't kid with ferrets.' Replied Lisa smoothly, 'and Al's not here.'

'I gathered as much genius.' Replied Scorpius annoyed, 'where is he?'

'St. Mungo's.' replied Lisa arching an eyebrow.

'This early?' asked Scorpius frowning, 'Is it bad?'

Lisa shrugged.

'He got a mail from Ron Weasley asking Lily, Hugo and him to come over.' Replied Lisa.

Scorpius turned to walk away.

'You are welcome.' Said Lisa sarcastically.

Scorpius turned to face her.

'Oh yeah,' he muttered coldly, 'thank you for wasting my time.'

…

'Professor McGonagall?' asked Scorpius as he approached her.

'Yes Mr. Malfoy?' replied Professor McGonagall turning her sharp eyes on him.

'I was wondering if I could be relieved of my rounds tonight?' asked Scorpius.

'Why so?' asked Professor McGonagall frowning.

'I was planning to visit Rose Weasley at St. Mungo's.' replied Scorpius honestly.

'I'm afraid that's not possible.' Replied Professor McGonagall shaking her head, 'I am sorry.'

'Why?' asked Scorpius gritting his teeth.

'Tomorrow night is Halloween.' Replied Professor McGonagall, 'someone is bound to stir up trouble.'

'But Rose is sick!' Scorpius said fighting to stay calm.

'And as far as I am aware, her family is with her.' Replied Professor McGonagall, 'I am sorry Mr. Malfoy. However if you wish to go after your rounds, I wont stop you.'

Scorpius started to protest.

'Very well.' He finally said in a low voice, 'thank you.'

…..

Every step that he took while pacing for the rounds seemed to make his blood boil. But he kept his face void of expression. Jessica had come to hang around him but his stony expression had her out of his way. He glanced at his watch.

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…time was up.

He set off towards the fourth floor to take the tunnel behind the red gargoyle out of Hogwarts and in to Hogsmeade.

….

He walked in to the waiting room at St. Mungo's to find it empty of any Potters or Weasleys.

He walked right in to the room where he was kept when he was in Rose's body. Sure enough, everyone was there.

Albus was the first to look and as soon as he did, he quickly walked over and shoved Scorpius outside.

Scorpius pushed Albus away as soon as they were out of the room.

'Don't make me hurt you Potter.' Snarled Scorpius, 'what the hell?'

'Oh shut up.' Muttered Albus, rubbing his shoulder where Scorpius had shoved him, 'Just a minute Malfoy.'

Scorpius stepped back and folded his arms across his chest.

'What?' asked Scorpius.

'When all of us got here,' explained Albus, 'we got a pleasant surprise.'

'Get to the point.' Muttered Scorpius icily.

'She recovered.' Replied Albus gleefully, 'completely.'

Scorpius suddenly felt light headed.

'What?' he murmured, 'How?'

'It's a miracle.' Replied Albus.

'Then why on earth are you shoving me out?' asked Scorpius raising an eyebrow.

'Ah-well,' began Albus frowning, 'the disease had some complications. Turns out she had the virus or whatever inside her since the end of August.'

'All right,' replied Scorpius starting to get impatient, 'if she's fine I don't see the point in knowing anything else. It can wait.'

Scorpius pushed past Albus to enter the room. Albus was saying something but Scorpius ignored him. He just wanted to see the proof that Rose was well.

'Oh he's here.' Groaned Hugo on seeing Scorpius.

'Be nice!' warned Hermione whose eyes were very bright.

'Does he know?' asked Ron his face puzzled.

Scorpius walked over to the bed where he could see Rose. The colour had returned to her cheeks and she was talking to Lily about something, very excitedly.

'Rose.' Said Scorpius walking to her right.

Rose looked at him at the mention of her name. There was a light in her eyes that had been missing since the beginning of the term.

Scorpius had a small smile on his face.

'Amazing right?' he muttered leaning towards her, 'everything's back to normal.'

'Uh Malfoy?' he heard Albus's panicky voice from somewhere behind him but Scorpius ignored him.

The smile on Rose's face had faded, replaced by a frown.

'What the hell do you want?' snapped Rose.

Scorpius reeled back shocked. What on earth?

Rose turned to Albus.

'Why the hell have you bought Scorpius Malfoy the ferret here?' she demanded.

'Rose-' began Scorpius shocked but Rose cut across him.

'Oh I know!' said Rose, 'As soon as he heard that I was sick, he just had to come here so that he could have a good laugh. Get out!'

Albus pulled on Scorpius's arm.

'Come on, Malfoy.' He muttered, 'there's a lot you missed.'

Scorpius let himself be led away in a daze.

Once they were outside the room, Scorpius turned to Albus.

'Explain.' He ordered.

'Like I said,' said Albus raising an eyebrow, 'there was a complication. The virus was in her since the end of August. And when it went away miraculously, it took something else with it. That's her memory.'

Scorpius felt like he had been hit by a pile of bricks.

'So-' Scorpius whispered.

'She has no memory of anything that took place since the end of August.' Replied Albus grimly, 'That means she has no idea about the new- err-friendship that you both had.'

'Or the switch,' thought Scorpius his head starting to burn.

It was all back to square zero where Rose thought of Scorpius as the Slytherin jackass.

…

I actually started feeling bad for Scorpius when I wrote this…poor guy…all those things he did…like dumping Jeremy was all washed clean off the slate.

Coming up next chapter- Rose returns to Hogwarts, facing Scorpius for the first time since St. Mungo's at rounds. What happens?
