" You know Delilah Hogwarts has this great thing for siblings that are sorted into different houses. I think it would be a great thing for you and Nathan to look into. I could talk to Head Mistress McGonagall for you if you'd like me to" I smiled back at the upset girl
" Hogwarts really does that." Delilah chimed suddenly cheering up
" Absolutely I should know. My brother is in Slytherin and a good portion of our cousins are sorted into different houses. If we ever miss each other and we aren't in the same house common room we just ask McGonagall. She usually lets us spend the night with them as long as we promise to not get into too much trouble." Lilly joined in pointing at her and myself
" That's awesome, thank you so much" Delilah gleamed finally starting to eat the massive amount of food in front of us
" No problem, what are housemates for?" Lilly smiled continuing back to her food
By the time dessert appeared mostly everyone as stuffed. The great hall became louder with each passing second. Not that it really mattered. Most of the chatter where faint whispers due to the exhausted student body.
" Alright everyone, as we close this evening, would our Perfects please rise and take you respected students to your corresponding corridors. Also, I would like to see both Head Boy and Head girl in my office before this evening is over with that you all may be dismissed." McGonagall said
" Any idea why we are being called to her office," Scorpius said eyeing me
" You know, probably to wish us each a good year and to go over a few things before we get started most likely. What are you not use to being called on for good reasons besides being reprimanded for your ridiculous pranks? "
" Haha very funny Weasly "
"I am a Weasley thank you for pointing that out. I nearly forgot about the fact I have the signature red hair. You know how it is, need I remind you-you are a Malfoy as well." I snipped
" No sadly I'm fully aware of my surname and its reputation. But thanks, Rose ." He huffed as we walked together
" No problem, I'm glad to help... I'm sorry Scorp you know I... I mean those of us that truly ... know you we don't look at you differently because of your last name. You know that right. I just a little tired sorry about that."
"I know you don't, at least not anymore" he nodded
" Scorpius hold on," I said grabbing his arm
" I don't want to start off this year with us fighting. You're my best friend and I don't want what happened last year to happen again. So as long as we are head Boy and head girl we need to be able to communicate with each other. Otherwise, we aren't going to make any progress this year and I really have a good feeling about this year. So I don't want to spend it being mad at my best friend. So what happened on the train about me not sending the letters and what just happened right now can we just forget about them and move on?"
" Of course Rose. You can let go of my arm now" He said as we finally made it to the main office
" Oh yeah sorry"I said sheepishly letting go of his arm while I knocked on the door
" You both may come in," McGonagall said as the door flung open
" Good evening headmaster" We both said simultaneously
" Good evening Mr. Malfoy, Miss Weasley please take a seat. I hope you both had a wonderful ride here. As I am sure you both must be wondering why I call you here on the first night back."
We each nodded
" To begin I would like to congratulate you both on the receiving of Head boy and Head girl statues. I could not have chosen any better candidates this year to fulfill your, predecessors, shoes. You each greatly deserve this privilege as both of you have an outstanding grade point average. You both are aware this title will greatly help both the specific career goals you each may have in mind. In the future need, you have any need for a reference feel free to list this as an achievement. Secondly, I would like to touch base with both of you; while I was going over your first letter Miss Weasely I do believe it will be of great help if you each set up a time schedule for each hall scan. The quicker the better. I do not mind which of you takes responsibility for each login, but I will need one every week. If not sooner in case of an emergency. I am aware you have both agreed to every other week to meet up with you fellow perfects I believe it will be beneficial for each of you. But I do ask that you each stay aware of other students schedules along with your own. Now I must ask, are you each trying out for your respective Quidditch teams"
" Yes Ma'ma" we both smiled at there then back at each other
"Alright, with that being taken into consideration I would like to ask both of you to not only promise to be civil but stay studious to your assignments. Your respective Professors are to be aware of any time restraints and if you need extra time please feel free to ask. Miss Weasley I do ask you listen carefully to this advice. I would like to not write your parents pertaining your being in the hospital again this year due to your own affliction."
" Yes Ma'ma" I nodded I definitely do have a history of me passing out because of over exhaustion.
" With that being said I would also like to propose that we start a new tradition allowing each respective house member to be partners with their counter house for this year. I would like both of you as Head Boy and Head Girl to be partners in this assignment. The goal in this is, is that we rid our future generations of negative stigmas about opposing houses. More specifically each household has a favorite corresponding household while they each have their opposing household. Moreover, we wish to gain more acceptance among the students. In past years we have struggled to obtain neutrality between the houses this year we believe we can start breaking away from this pattern. I would like to make you each leader's in this assignment, therefore, I do hope you each can get along. I understand in past years you both have had quarrels with one another I have high hopes you both can work together soundly. I have seen great teamwork from each of you before I expect respect and patience between the two of you. I am aware that things are fine this moment be that as it may if the moment were to arise where you two cannot get along for the sake of not only this assignment but for each other I will have to take matters into my own hands. Now then I need you both to know the Head boy and head girl rooms are being remolded for the time being so your items have been moved to spare Perfect rooms for the time being. I wish you both a wonderful year and if you should ever have a question I am here. You both may be dismissed. Rose may I speak to you for a moment. "
" Of course " I smiled
"Go ahead I'll see you later" I waved Scorpiuss goodbye as he left the office
"Now Rose I have a few questions for you regarding your letters," McGonagall said leaning over to the side to see if Scorpius was gone
" I'm very proud of you Miss Weasley. This is a wonderful idea, I hope you don't mind me paring you with him. But I do have to ask why did you ask me to make sure he did know this whole"new tradition idea" was yours. "
"I rather he sees it as a change and not my idea. You saw how his face lite up when you said we would be doing this. Sure he'd be happy knowing it's my idea but I'm not ok with taking credit for something he brought to light. I was blinded before he told me all of that. When I was younger I was biased towards a lot of things and I felt so disconnected from the other he thinks we are making a change what true difference does it make if it's my idea or yours."
"You care very deeply for him don't you."
" He's my best friend, of course, I care for him."
"You are very special Miss Weasely, Very special indeed. I want you to know I have high hope for the both of you. Now if you must excuse me if we do not have any other pressing matters I really must speak To Professor Longbottom ."
" Actually one last thing. Delilah and Nathan Hunter" I began to say as I got up
" They are already under forms they may see each other whenever they like." She smiled waving me goodbye this
This is where I will leave all of you for now until next time. Vmt is out.
