Y'all know I don't own Harry Potter.

Another two weeks had gone by and I hadn't made very much progress in the Rose department. I don't know something about spending time with her more and more kind of put everything else on the back burner for the time being. The night before I had finally sent that last gift, it was a silver locket with a picture of her mother and father on their wedding day. It had taken some time to get the photo from the daily prophet who covered all war heroes' wedding but I did it. The note that took my so long to write simple said 'The night you gave me a second chance was the night I became who I am today', Lovely I thought and so true.

It's right before History of Magic and I'm walking down the corridor a lone lost in my own thoughts. Today Rose looked beautiful with her long brown curly hair flowing down her back, a hint of eyeliner and powder but nothing that over powered her already beautiful face. She wore the locket. I couldn't help but smile.

"YO MALFOY," I heard from behind me. I turn to see Althon and Albus walking towards me.

"Hey," I said stopping to wait for them to catch up.

"Where's the fire?" Althon asked once he reached me.

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't know all day you have been rushing off... after breakfast and all of our classes. What's up with you? It's like you haven't had time for us lately."

I don't say anything for a moment. I turn to look at Albus who is staring straight ahead of him. "I don't know I've just been really into school these days trying too keep my second place stop,"

"When are you going to tell her?" Albus ask without turning to look at me. Althon kept his eyes on both of us.

"What are you talking about?" I asked playing stupid. ((I seem to do that a lot with this family))

"You know I am talking about!" he said still looking straight ahead.

"I'm not," is all I finally say.

"Why?"

"Because I think she will be disappointed when she finds out it was me,"

"This scheme of yours has become so much more than you thought it would. You've fallen for her and don't even know it yet."

"Your crazy...Come on me fall for Rose?"

"You got her locket with a picture of her parents on their wedding day."

"So,"

"So...you don't just do that. That's something special you do for someone you care about. And more than just a friend," he added when he saw me open my mouth to speak.

"Guys come on lets just stop for a moment," Althon said trying to but in. "Albus cool down...and Scorpius stopping courting his cousin."

"I'm not courting her,"

"Oh your not? Then what do you call it. Because to me it looks like courting." Albus spit out.

"So you're mad at me,"

"Yes,"

"Why?"

"Because no matter what you do now she is going to get hurt because you've let it go on for so long,"

He then stomped off into the classroom leaving me there standing and looking stupid. Well isn't that just great. Whatever not my problem, why should I tell her now anyways? I mean she'd only be disappointed when she found out it was me and not some knight and shining armor. ((You know I have never really gotten that phrase 'Night in shining armor'))

I walked into the class to find Albus had moved him and his partner to the other side of the room from where Rose set taking down the notes on the bored. I walk over too her calmly and take my set. Pull out some ink and parchment and start to take down the notes as well.

Half way through the class she leans over "We need to start working on that charms homework tonight. How about we met in the library after dinner?"

"Sure sounds good," she turns her attention back too the Professor who is going on and on about the first war between the light and he-who-must-not-be-named. I yawn and look over too Albus who still seems to be mad at me. I shrugged it off assuring myself that by tomorrow he would be at my feet begging me to forgive him. Though there was this little voice in the back of my head telling 'don't kid yourself he is a Potter and they are pretty darn stubborn'. But I tired not to think about it too hard.

Dinner went by uneventful, Albus set with his brother and sister at the Gryffindor table seeing as he wasn't talking to me. Althon kept going on and on about this chick who was 4th year Slytherin who by the way was the biggest whore in the whole school. I tried to tune him out most of the time, didn't really work to well seeing as he raised his voice every time he thought I wasn't paying him enough attention.

I was glad to get out of the great when I saw Rose get up too leave. I didn't want to seem too anxious so I stayed a close distance behind her. I loved to watch as her long dark curls sway behind her. She looked like her mom more and more. Her soft angelic features with bight blue eyes. That was about the only thing she had gotten from her father. Unlike her brother who was the spitting image of him.

I watched as she turned into the library with her books in her hand. I stopped where I was for a moment to give her time to find a table and get comfortable. I thought about what Albus had said earlier that day. Me like Rose Weasley was just absurd. Right? I mean there are so many reasons why it would never work with her. For one we both like to think we are right and hell if we dated we would always being fighting. And her family well they aren't big Malfoy fan's. I mean her mother seemed to have warmed up too my dad when they worked together at the ministry but dad said that was only because they had too work together. They had come to the agreement to work things out and put the past in well just that the past.

But James and Hugo her brother and cousin wouldn't take kindle to me. I knew it. It was kind of like Potter's and Malfoy's could never be friends. But then I thought about Albus we were friends but I didn't really think of him as a Potter. He was different. He never once judged me because of my last name. He was very open and supporting.

I thought enough time had gone by so I started to walk again. When I reached the library door I stopped and took a deep breath. Pulling the door open I start to scan the room for her. I finally noticed her near the back of the library pulling out her books. I started forward taking my time so I could admire the way she looked so peaceful at easy with herself.

I set myself down on the table once I reach it. "So has your secret admirer sent you anything else?" I asked getting her attention.

She looked up a little surprised. Her hand went to her chest where the locket was. "Yeah," she doesn't say anything further. We stand in silence for a moment just looking at each other. "So I guess we should get started then,"

We both sit down at the table. I start to pull out my charms book and start to thumb through it. I take a deep breath looking up at her. She is so beautiful...like her mom. Aw I didn't just think that did I?

"I just want to say thank you." I say looking back down. She looks up and cocks her head to one side.

"For what?"

"For the night by the lake, saying the things you did. Giving my a second chance its changed me in away," as soon as the words left my mouth I wanted to kick myself. Get a time tuner and change it all.

Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Scorpius," she said my name shaking her head. "It was you?"

"What are you talking about?" I say trying to cover it up knowing it will only cause more damage.

"You sent me all that stuff. The...the locket." I don't say anything. I just stare at her. "Am I the girl Althorn was talking about that night at dinner?"

"Well yes." I say "But it wasn't that I had a crush on you." Oh man that didn't come out right.

"What?"

"Well its not like I like you like that. I mean your Rose Weasley and I'm Scorpius Malfoy I mean those two just don't mix you know what I mean?"

"Right," she sits back in her chair trying to keep her emotions in check. I curse myself mentally. I mean way now of all times do I have to put my foot in my mouth. She laughs but I know it isn't a humorous one. "Why send me all that stuff."

"I wanted to make you feel special." Not a lie per say.

"Yet you have no romantic feelings for me?"

"Right,"

She starts to through her things in her bag not caring tears were starting to fall. She stood when she was done. I stood too not quite sure why "To think that all this time I wanted to be that girl. Because call it crazy a Weasley actually care about a Malfoy. But now I feel sorry for whoever you end up with."

She turned on her heels. I didn't know what to say. I just watched her go like an idiot. So Albus was right. Great!!!!

A/N: Sorry that it hasn't taken so long. School started here and the past two weeks had been so hectic. So there should only be one more part. I'm starting to work on it tonight. For those of you who were wondering why I didn't just make it all one story. When it comes to writing chapter stories I will get half way and then will stop writing. This for some reason motivates me to finish.
