I have now written quite a few one shots and I just want to say to all you readers: THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Especially to you, Gracie and HazelSparks94, Your reviews have been a blast to read.) You have no idea how much it means to me. If you have any opinion about the stories – just tell me! I would love to know what you think!
My original plan was to shift between Scorpius and Roses POV but when I looked around I found almost no story with Scorpius perspective. That's why I have decided to stick to him. Would you, however, like to read oneshots of Roses POV too? I try my best to vary the stories.
Thanks again!

"Hogsmeade weekends are the best weekends." Who would have ever thought that those words came from no one other then Albus Severus Potter? I laughed and shook my head. We had teamed up during the first years we were allowed to go to Hogsmeade and tried to convince each other that Hogsmeade wasn't anything for us. We didn't want attention and that was what we were afraid of by going to Hogsmeade. Now, we could go there without thinking twice about it. No one cared about you in Hogsmeade. There was so much to do if you were there with the right person. Albus and I had always a great time and Hogsmeade did it even better.
"You're really wierd."
"No, You're really wierd." We smirked at each other. I had to say it but I felt sorry for everyone who hadn't a friend like Albus. How could you even carry on without a friend like that? We had just left the schoolground and entered Hogsmeade. We followed the stonepath down to the little village. It was a beautiful view from the castle. I couldn't help it. It took my breath away. I knew that I belonged here, even with all the rumors that had been and how mistreated I had been. There was no place I would rather be then at Hogwarts.
"So, where do you want to go?" asked Albus and I shrugged. You could go to so many places, to the Three Broomstick or Honeydukes. I were just about to suggest one of the shops when something distracted me. Albus and I had to stay behind and finish our essay in Divination. There was always people going to Hogsmeade by this hour but now? Someone were running towards us, crying and hiding hers face with her hands. Her red curls were flying in the wind as she ran. The Gryffindor scarf were loosing from her shoulders. She ran past me and Albus.
"Wasn't that Rose?" I didn't think long about it. My heart stopped beating and it was like my world fell apart. It was her. My Rose. Why was she crying? Why was she running? Wait... was Rose Granger-Weasley crying? She was the strongest person I knew so something terrible must had happened. She didn't show herself vulnerable if she could stop it. I couldn't control myself or even think. All I knew was that I would do anything in my power to make her happy. I turned around at ones and ran straight towards her. I wasn't a runner but somehow I ran faster then Rose, she who trained everyday to keep her shape for her chaser position on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
"Rose!" I caught her shoulder and stopped her. She put down her hands and looked chocked at me. Her brown beautiful eyes were red and her cheeks were wet of tears. Rose wasn't just a little upset. Something looked like it was killing her. It was then I saw it. Someone had hexed her. Her teeth had been growing out of her mouth and were almost hitting her knees. Who could have done this to her?! Who dared?! I felt a rage inside me, a feeling I almost never had."Please, don't look at me." She tried to put her hands up to her face again but I took a hold of them both. I couldn't say anything. I just looked at her. My beautiful Rose. I didn't care how she looked. All I cared about was that she sad. "Leave me alone Scorpius. I had enough with Slytherins." It was hard for her to say this but I could hear her clearly. Had a Slytherin done this to her? How... how could they? All of Slytherin knew that Rose were off limits for them. She was even off limits to me.
"I will get you to the hospital wing and then you going to tell me, exactly who did this." My voice was lower then I had expected. I sounded... terrifying.
"No, please, just let me.." I pulled her towards me. She cried like never before and tried to fight her way out of my arms but I held her. I would always be there to catch her. I would always be whatever she wanted me to be.
"It's okay." I said slowly, still having this voice on. The ones who did this wouldn't wish to be alive right now. I wouldn't just humiliate them... I could destroy them. No one did this to Rose and got away with it. "I will never do something like this to you. Thrust me, Rose. I will always want your best. I will always fight for you so please, for you own good. Let me help you."
"I'm disgusting. I'm just what they said... a filthy halfblood." This was the last drop. I didn't tolerate this at all. I stared into her eyes but the panic did so I couldn't really look at her. She were thinking so many thoughts. The moment she would be in safety I would...
"Please, Scorpius. Don't do anything that will get you in trouble." I pulled her towards me again and hugged her. She hide her face against my chest. She was the cleverest witch of her age. Her advice were optimal to follow, how much I even wanted to make my own house pay.
"Rose, you are many things but you are never, and I mean never, someone filthy. Your blood is who you are and no matter how you look. I will always help you. I will always do everything in my power to make you the happiest. I will always. Believe in my always."
