Everyone was shocked. Somehow students had forgotten that their parents had complicated relations. For five and a half of year Scorpius and Rose never spoke, so no one remember about the fact that Malfoy and Weasley must hate each other. When they came back from Christmas, students found fully open hatred between those two.
When initial disbelieved left, other students started enjoying watching their confrontations. On the daily basic now their conversations looks like:
"Prude" Scorpius smirked when he met Weasley in front of entrance to Great hall.
"Moron" she replied while narrowing her eyes. "It was such a lovely day. Well, I meet you, now it's barely tolerable"
"Oh… I would say that you hurt my feelings with it, but no. Anything that comes from annoying I-know-it-all is bullshit anyway"
"Bastard" she said as a goodbye.
"Bitch" he waved his hand with fake grin on his face, when they split to reach their tables.
"It's been 3 months since you started this war and you are getting funnier and funnier" admitted Gregory. Scorpius looked at him and said with absolute seriousness "It's not funny at all".
"C'mon, now instead of saying 'Welcome, Weasley', you insult her as a greeting. It's hilarious. Who would know that she can swear? I can't wait to see more"
"Shouldn't you be more concerned that your best friend is constantly pissed off?"
"I have too much fun from it" Gregory smiled with mouth full of food.
Scorpius looked at him with disgust "Why, on Earth, am I friend with you?"
He swallowed his meal and boasted "Because I am the greatest person on your Earth, born specially to torture you"
"So be careful, our dear Redhead is more unbearable than you. We don't want her to become my friend" Scorpius shivered at idea of Rose being friendly to him.
Scorpius and Gregory were going to Quidditch pitch for their match. This time it was Hufflepuff versus Slytherin. Boys were excited and confident that they would win.
"You know, you are looking too happy" They heard Rose.
"And you feel the need to change that, don't you?" Scorpius responded.
"Actually, I wanted to say 'Good luck' " Rose said. Scorpius raised his eyebrows with confusion.
"You really need it" She admitted and went to stands.
"Gregory, I have something to tell you" Scorpius looked into his friend eyes. "You must promise me that when the time comes, you will hold me and prevent for spending the rest of my life in Azkaban. Cause I swear, one day I won't be able to resist the temptation to kill her merciless"
"Whatever helps you sleep at night. Let's go our team is waiting" and without postponing, Gregory started walking.
The game didn't last long and Slytherin had won 270 to 80.
Scorpius assumed that Rose must have sensed that he was happy. She came to them and started "You won, my congratulation" she put in the last part as much sarcasm as she was able to. "Unfortunately, you didn't smash the ground or broke anything. That would be entertaining! Still, watching how you play was pleasure itself. How is it possible that you are on team? Unbelievable" Young Malfoy was breathing heavily. Gregory put his hand on Scorpius arm to calm him down. Before, he thought that it was joke, the idea of Scorpius killing Rose. Now he wasn't so sure.
Rose turned to face Scorpius best friend "Gregory, nice work. That was brilliant catch"
"Thank you" He was amazed, he didn't think that he would be complimented by her.
"Please don't say that to anyone, but I think you are better Seeker than any of Potters. Oh, they would kill me for this. Anyway, good job" she gave him big smile.
She looked at Scorpius "I guess we will see each other anytime. See you, hopefully, not too soon"
"Whore" he growled
"Jerk" she replayed and joined her fellow Gryffindors.
Gregory looked astonished "Dude, what was that? Did she really say what she said? Why?"
"That's simple: to make me furious"
"Well, It worked perfectly" Gregory nodded his head with respect for Weasley.
"Yeah, I know. Forget her- Let's go celebrate" he put his arm around his shoulders. "I hate to admit that I agree with Redhead. Great catch buddy. You rocked"
"I'm going to start to cry. You agree with Weasley for me" He paused to think. "It only means that I must be gooood"
"Shut up" Scorpius said but started to laugh.
