A Rose/Scorpius chapter now. Because it has been mainly about Alice and James lately.

Rose's POV (because we just need her feeling to change)

Disclaimer: Guess what?! I do not own Harry Potter (still the same after 36 chapters of this story)

Defence Against the Dark Arts was definitely my worst subject. I don't know what it was about it, but I just wasn't as good in this one particular subject as I was in my others. Now don't get me wrong, I'm still GOOD at this subject, I get E's or O's but it's my worst subject. It also happens to be a certain Slytherin's best subject.

"Alright class!" Professor Macmillan said. "We are going to be working in pairs this week on a project about Dementors and their relationship to the dark arts."

"BAGS SCORPIUS AS MY PARTNER!" Vincent shouted. Everyone sniggered, some people openly laughed.

"FINE BUT I GET ROSE!" Al shouted after Vincent. Even Professor Macmillan had trouble hiding a smile.

"Well because I don't want there to be an arguments, Miss Weasley and Mr Malfoy can be paired together." Professor Macmillan said.

"BUT SIR-"both Scorpius and I protested at the same time.

"There will be no arguments." Macmillan said as he started pairing off everyone else.

After he said that I got up and took all my stuff over to where Malfoy was sitting. This was going to be humiliating. I could just tell. First of all, it was my worst subject and his best. Second of all, whenever we worked together I always ended up making a fool of myself. And third of all, I hadn't spoken to him since Jack broke up with me, yeah, really humiliating. But I'm not going into details there, you already know anyway.

"So how do you want to do this project?" I said as I sat down.

"What do you mean?" he asked, his grey eyes sparkling with interest. They really were beautiful eyes. Right Rose, you are supposed to be answering a question.

"Um well do you want one of us to find the information and the other summaries or do we both look for information and summarise together?"

"I think we should do it together." He said. "Because then both of us learn more and it'll be quicker and we don't have to rely the other person as much. Plus everyone knows you like to be in control of things." He smirked. Ok so it wasn't a smirk. It was a smirkle again (remember I used it during our detention, it's a mixture of a smirk and a smile).

"Well normally I'd be offended but it's really just the truth." I shrugged. He smiled at me this time. I don't think I'd ever noticed before but he does have really nice teeth. I used to have horrid front teeth. They were bunny rabbit sized I'm serious! Well maybe I'm exaggerating a bit but luckily Mum let me shrink them before I came to Hogwarts. It would have been humiliating.

"So when do you want to work on it?" he asked.

"And class," Professor Macmillan said over the class, "you're allowed to go to the library during class periods as long as you don't slack off. This is due on Monday and you won't be getting any more class time so please organise with your partners about when you are going to finish."

"Let's go Malfoy." I said and flung my bag over my shoulder.

"To the library then?" he said.

"Yes, to the library."

We walked in a comfortable silence. I was just hoping he wouldn't bring up the Jack incident. Mind you, he had been decent lately. Come to think of it, he has been almost nice to me all year. Sure there have been a few incidents where we ended up in shouting matches (the entrance hall at the start of the year being only one of them) but he has actually been quite nice this year. And he was actually a pretty cool person once he got over being a jerk. And he's good looking-

ROSE WEASLEY WHAT ARE YOU THINKING! This is SCORPIUS MALFOY you're talking about! You just CAN'T BE THINKING-

And then BANG I walked straight into a suit of armour. I stumbled backwards and almost fell over.

"Are you ok?" Scorpius asked, I meant Malfoy asked. He sounded concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said, rubbing my head where I had hit the suit of armour. "What?" I said as I saw a smirk forming on Scorpius' face.

"Nothing." He said.

"Whatever." I said and started walking again. Avoiding looking at the blonde next to me.

We continued on our way to the library. Once inside we took a seat by the window and got to work. We had been working for about half an hour and then something happened.

Both Scorpius and I reached for the same book at the same time, and our hands brushed. Now I know that sounds cliché, stupid and just unrealistic but I swear there was some electricity there or something. Something that made my heart beat faster and my ears turn red (stupid Weasley genes). I swear Malfoy felt it too. We both looked at each other for a second and then both of us looked back at our books quickly. What was that?

After another little while, neither of us had spoken very much, I got up and packed my things in my bag.

"I've got Quidditch practice now. We should work on this tomorrow after lessons." I said.

"Sure. Good luck for Quidditch practice. I'm sure you guys will flatten Ravenclaw." He said. For once I knew he was being serious. There no smirk on his face, no laughter in his grey eyes, he meant what he said.

"Thanks." I said awkwardly and left the library.

That was really sweet of him to wish us good luck. He is really sweet actually. And he's smart as well; it's good that I don't have to do all the work on this project. Plus he's responsible; he is a prefect, so he'll get his work done on time. And he has the most amazing eyes. They're grey and just really really amazing. You could seriously get lost in them- ARGH I'm doing it again.

I keep thinking these things about Scorpius Malfoy, ever since the start of the year but they were only minor and only occurred every month or so. Now they're becoming more frequent than ever. I actually have to stop myself 3 or 4 times a day from thinking things like that about Scorpius Malfoy. What does this mean? I can't like him can I? No, I CAN'T like him. But then why do I keep thinking about how nice and sweet he is.

Oh gosh. I might just be falling for my enemy.

Author's note: So what did you guys think? It took me awhile to write this chapter (I've been on the computer quite a lot in the past few days) and it just wasn't coming. I'm quite pleased with how it's coming along. But I'd love to know what YOU think. Review please! Thanks to everyone who has.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: any pranks you have, any at all, even silly ones, just PLEASE send them in. I'm the most uncreative person I know when it comes to things like this so PLEASE help.

Also, being the really sad person I am I wanted to see how many reviews I had compared to other James S.P/OC stories. I have the most! I was so happy. Then I checked just ones with James S.P and all characters and I'm second! Which is really exciting! And I'm just really sad. The one that has the most for all James S.P stories has 418 reviews! I probably won't get that high but if you feel like helping me achieve that then go ahead and review!

Thanks heaps again for reading and REVIEWING my story!
