:::Remember guys I don't own anything that's all JK:::

It had been two months since the night Rose stormed out of the library. We hadn't spoken since then either. No the next day she made sure that our partners we changed in every class and she had Hugo and James make sure I couldn't get anywhere near her. Albus would talk to me so that left with Althorn and that put him in a ruff spot. Having to deal with Albus and me wasn't easy at all.

It was two days before Christmas and we were all boarding the Hogwarts express that would take us home for the holidays. I set an empty compartment alone to wallow in my thoughts about Rose and the entire Weasley/Potter family. Before all this Rose and I weren't really friends but at least she didn't turn and go in the other direction every time she saw me.

I was still in second place as far as grades, but that didn't matter anymore. As far as I am concerned I will still made head boy next year and I guess that is all that really and truly matters. But Rose not talking to me was driving me crazy. I missed her smile and the sound of her voice. I had really messed up this time and with all my scheming I couldn't think of anything to make it right again.

The compartment door slid open and Althorn walked in and took the set across from me. "So have you eaten anything today?" he asked pulling two sandwiches out of his bag.

"I'm not hungry." I say turning to look out the window.

"Come I don't think I have seen you eat a really meal in two months." He said throwing the food at me.

"What does it really matter." I turn to look him dead in the eye. "I lost my best friend and the girl...-"

"That you have been secretly in love with since the first time that you met her." He finished for me.

"I never said I was in love with her." I said stubbornly.

"Come on give me a break. You and in love with Rose Weasley and you fucked it up big time and now you have no idea how to make it right."

"Shut up."

"I can help you. Because there is one thing I am good at it is fixing things I have fucked up."

"Oh really...?"

"Yes." He said in one of those you know I am right voices. "So do you want my help or not?"

I walk into the manor right behind my father. Trying not to notice his bad mood, I start to walk up the stairs with my trunk. "Don't even bother...Pinky can take it up for you."

I turn around walk over to where father is standing looking over some paper work. I don't interrupt him. I just stand there looking around the place which seems a little different. Almost warm, not so dark and creepy.

I turn and walk into the parlor too see that the once dark green leather couches were no long there but were replaced with Light blue. The painting that had hung over the fire place of father, I and my mother had been replaced with on of my grandmother and grandfather.

This was wired. Who had come in and rearranged our lives? "Scorpius where are you?"

"In the parlor," I answered and waited for him to come in. Which he did ten seconds later.

"Do you like it?" he asked pointing around at all the changes.

"Who did it?"

"Oh she should be here any-"the door opened and I could hear footsteps coming in. "Honey we are in the parlor," my father said loudly.

The footsteps got louder until three people stood in the parlor door way. I almost fell over in shook when I was Rose and Hugo Weasley standing there with their mother Hermione. I could tell Rose wasn't happy at all. Nope not one bit. I mean I couldn't blame her. But come one be respectful and don't show it.

"Scorpius you remember me telling you about the woman I had started to see?" I nodded my head yes but didn't say anything. "Well things have been going good and well she moved in a few weeks back. We wanted to surprise you guys."

"So you live her full time mom?" Rose asked hating every moment she had to be in close proximity with me.

"Yes we live here full time. I had all of you stuff moved here but I wanted you guys to decorate the way you wanted." Hugo who I thought would have killed me by now was taking this well.

"So can we see our rooms then?" he asked.

"Draco why don't you take them up stairs, Rose has the room across from you and Hugo and is in the one right next door to you."

I nodded my head and started to walk out of the parlor. I looked behind me to see them both following me. It wasn't until the second floor landing did anyone say anything. "Did you know about this?" Rose asked pointing at her brother.

"No I didn't'," Hugo said trying to keep up with me.

"How about you?" she said. No one says anything. "Scorpius I am talking to you." She says loudly.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were talking to me again."

I thought she might hit me the way her face turned so read. Hugo laughed until he caught sit of his sister's face. "Sorry," he muttered. We finally came to the end of the hallway.

"Rose your room is that one," I pointed the now pick door across from my black one. "And Hugo your room is right here." I pointed to the black door next to mine. They both nodded and walked into their new rooms.

I do the same, its just how I left it. Clean and untouched. Truth be told I hate me room with its dark walls and dark curtains...ect. I wonder if I should redo my room as well and make it a little more me. I snap my fingers and pinky the hours elf appears.

"Yes young master."

"I want to paint my room navy blue and white." I said looking around the room. "Make sure that the wall with the windows is painted white with navy blue curtains." I watch as the house elf does as I asked. The room becomes a little loftier. I walk over to the bookshelves and pick out book. Seeing as Christmas is in two days and I have done no shopping. I circle everything I want to order and hand it pinky. "Make sure this is all wrapped and here by tomorrow evening." Pinky nodded before running off.

I lay down on the bed and look up at the ceiling. Wow Hugo and Rose as steps brother and sister. It sure but a wired spin on things didn't it. It would almost make my feelings for Rose almost wrong if I hadn't as Althorn would say in love with her secretly since the day I met her.

"I remember how happy dad was that day when we had lunch, and how happy I was for him, and how mad Rose was at her mom for dating someone so soon. But now them living together and throwing us all in to one house I could only imagine what was going through her head. And having to be across the hall from me.

I get up off my but and walk over too the door and pause for a second before pulling it open and walking across the hall to the now red door. I knock softly. It takes a moment but I can hear her walking to the door, before it swings open. I can see that she had been crying. "What do you want?"

"To talk." I say putting my hand in my pockets.

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Look I know this isn't what you thought your Christmas vacation would be like. But I want to be the friend you turn too."

"How can you be the friend I turn too when you're the guy that broke the part of my heart that I didn't know you even had."

"Ok I know I really messed up. And everything said that night just came out the wrong way. But before I was the guy who hurt you, before I was the arrogant guy who only wanted to beat you for the best grades I was the guy who you said made the transition two such a big school a little easier." I was even impressed but what came out.

She didn't say anything for a moment before she moved aside to let me in her room. I walked into to see that two of the walls were painted red and that they other were painted a light tan color. Everything suited her. I looked over to the dresser where the locket set. I closed my eyes for a moment before turning around to see her sitting on the bed. I set down on the over stuffed couch.

"You honestly didn't know about this?" she asked letting out a deep breath.

"No...I walked into find things different."

'How could she do this and not even tell Hugo about it."

"Would you have tried to stop her if she had?"

"YES," it came out really fast and I was bit surprised.

"But what if he really makes her happy? I mean don't you want her to be happy?"

"Yes but I mean...ahh I hate you."

"Sorry," I muttered folding arms "But I look at this way. Your mom makes my dad really happy and I have to admit that to me that's all that matters. I watched him mope around for years and now he smiles all the time. I would never take that away from him."

"Yeah but you dad didn't just die six months ago."

"That's true." I said shifting slightly. "But sometimes you can't think about what you want but what the other person wants."

"I hate you," she said punching but I can tell she is just messing with me. "I hate it when you're right."

"Well you know I'm always right..."

"Not always," I can see the underlying meaning to that statement.

"Yeah well we all have those moments when we don't make the right decision." I said getting up from the bed and walk towards the door. "My grandparents are coming for dinner and my guess is they don't know about your mom. I would put on a really nice dress,"

Sure enough two hour later we were all sitting in the sitting room looking at the wall trying to avoid each other's eyes. I was right to assume grandfather and grandmother didn't know about Ms. Weasley and her children moving in with us. They did take it better than I thought they would have. Rose looked beautiful with a gold strapless dress on that fit her curves in all the right place to make you look like young lady.

"Dinner is served in the main dining hall." Pinky said as she popped into the room.

"Excellent," my father said getting to his fee "Shall we?" he offered his arm too Hermione.

"What second my dear boy," said my grandmother. Maybe she wasn't ok with the whole thing after all. "I just want to welcome Hermione and her children into our family. I can see you make my son happy and that is all that matter's to me."

Ok that went good. "I agree with your mother Draco," said grandfather. My father smiled at them both before putting his arm around Hermione and lead the way into the dinning room. Father set at the head of the table with Hermione to his left, next to her was grandfather and then grandmother. I set on the other side of father with Rose on my other side and Hugo next to her.

No one said anything while we ate. But it a comfortable silence, I could feel Rose by my side trying to be as normal as possible. I felt for her hand and squeezed it gentle reassuringly. She looked out of the corner of her eye and smiled. God I love that girl. How could I have ever been so stupid?

Finally my grandparents left 10 past nine. Hermione and my grandmother had made plans to go shopping with Rose the day after tomorrow. I was happy everyone was getting a long good. I wondered how long it would be before dad and Hermione would get married. I knew Rose still wasn't too happy about having to live in a new home with strange people. Ok maybe not strange people. But I knew she still hadn't forgiven me.

I had decided to go for a ride on my horse lightning a little past eleven. I road all along the manor grounds and even down by the stream on the property adjacent to us, I felt free, if there was one thing I thanked my mother for it was teaching me how to ride a horse before I could even walk. The cold wind beating down on my face and all I could think was how beautiful Rose looked tonight. She really did look like her mother. But the eyes they were different. He didn't know how long he had been riding around the grounds when he finally came back to the stables to find Rose waiting for him there.

He smiled as he slid of Lightning walking her over to her stall. Locking her in before turning too look at the girl that haunted his dreams. "What are you doing up so late?" I asked once I reached where she was standing by the entry way.

"Couldn't sleep." She pulled the blanket that she had around her a little tighter.

"How long have you been waiting?"

"To long," she said laughing as we started back up to the manor. "So this is where you grew up." It was more of a statement than a question.

"Yup, home sweet home."

"It's way too big even with mom Hugo and I staying here now,"

"If you think this big you should see my grandparents manor." I laughed as she raised her eyebrows at me.

"I like you grandparents."

I don't say anything for a minute just listen to the wind blow around us. "I think they liked you guys too." We walk in silence till we reach the door.

"Scorpius?"

"Yeah," I turn and look at her with my hand on the door. I'm looking deep into her eyes when out of no where with any warning her lips are on mine. Don't get me wrong I wasn't complaining because I had been waiting for this moment for so long. I take a step closer to her pull her into a tight embrace and kiss her back. It was almost like the past few months a had been erased from existence. When we pull apart I look down at her and smile. Her blue eyes sparkled in the moon light.

"Am I forgiven?"

"No. But I'm willing to start over. And I'm willing to try being more than friends if you are too."

I smile "I can live with that," I got what I wanted. It may not have been the same thing it had been September 1 but it is now. And if coming in second to keep her right her with me well I could live with that.
