Disclaimer: I do not own harry potter, most of the characters are JK Rowling's idea's, blah blah blah…

NOTE: It's been pointed out that I've made a mistake with Rose's hair color, but I'm too lazy to go back and fix it. Rose's Hair color is reddish- brown, a bit more brown than red. Also, Rose's POV wasn't quite supposed to make sense, but by now you probably figured out that rose isn't quite a goody two shoes, and that Scorpius might be a big threat, but he is also Rose's friend. Greg, even though he is in Gryffindor, is a bad boy, and might possibly be the first Gryffindor death eater…All will be revealed in time.

Chapter Three

Their first Hogsmeade weekend came up fast, as it was the 2nd Saturday after arriving at Hogwarts. True to his word, Albus spend the day with Gabrielle. On the morning of the Hogsmeade trip, Albus met Gabrielle by the door, and they made their way out, ignoring Filch's glare.

As soon as they were outside, Albus tried to start a conversation, but kept getting side tracked, and Gabrielle seemed shy, however Albus noticed she gazed at him with a wondrous or amazed expression sometimes. "So…would you like to go to the three broomsticks?" Albus asked when they were entering the main street of Hogsmeade. "Can we go to madam Puddifoots...?" Gabrielle asked shyly, walking down the street towards one of the more pink shops on the street. "Ah…sure…" Albus said, blinking at the pink shop she was walking towards. "My friend is here with her boyfriend, and she wanted us to meet them there…" Gabrielle said, smiling big as she saw her friend in the window and then dashed inside. Puzzled, Albus followed her in, and then he couldn't help but laugh when he saw an uncomfortable looking Teddy sitting next to a talkative Victoria. Albus quickly slid into the booth next to Gabrielle, and glanced down when he saw Teddy start to laugh at him for being stuck in this pink place.

"So, Albus, Gabrielle talks about you a lot." Victoria said, watching him with an amused expression. "Now c'mon Teddy, we can go to your quidditch shop." She said, getting up. Teddy jumped up and ran out, and Victoria rolled her eyes and walked out after him. Albus looked at Gabrielle, and found her staring at the door dejectedly. "So…do you come here often?" Albus asked, watching Gabrielle. "Yea, I and my friends came here all the time." Gabrielle said, looking up at him with a slight smile. "Well…it's definitely…pink." Albus said, looking around uncomfortably. He spied many couples, but then he also saw groups of girls just hanging out and talking. "We can go; if you want…I just find this place comforting." Gabrielle said, noticing his uncomfortable expression. "No, that's fine, this is a good place." Albus replied, leaning back. He tilted his head slightly, but smiled, when he felt Gabrielle lean against him.

"So, your brother seems odd…" Gabrielle said, starting a conversation. "He's just slightly self centered and obnoxious…what about you, do you have any brothers or sisters?" Albus said, watching her. "No, my mom wanted to keep the family small." Gabrielle said, watching out the window. She suddenly brightened, sitting up and watching a group of guys go by, and not surprisingly in the center was Scorpius Malfoy. "Let's go say hi!" Gabrielle said, and Albus stood up, confused slightly when Gabrielle started pulling him out to the street. Why was Scorpius associating with Ravenclaws? Albus had never thought a Malfoy would be nice to anyone but Slytherins.

"Hey, Scorpius!" Gabrielle called, running up to the group. "Hello" Scorpius said, smiling lightly at Gabrielle, but only giving Albus a nod. "I haven't seen you since summer" Scorpius said, walking up and giving Gabrielle a half hug. "I'm…Confused…A Malfoy, being nice?" Albus said, watching the two. "It just so happens Malfoy's aren't all bad Potter" Scorpius said, lightly pulling Gabrielle into his group. "Watcha doing hanging out with scum like him, Gabby?" He asked, with a somewhat joking tone. "Aw, Knock it off, He's nice." Gabrielle said, grinning brightly at the nickname, but with a somewhat of a defensive tone in her voice. "Yea, yea, well, I'll see you later, me and my friends are going to Zonko's" Scorpius said, walking away.

As soon as Malfoy was out of earshot, Albus turned to Gabrielle. "Gabby? Sounds like a crush." He said jokingly, but was surprised when Gabrielle flushed and stomped off.

Albus looked after her, completely confused. "Careful, She's got a temper." Victoria said, walking up behind him. "She hasn't told you her past? I'm surprised." She said, stopping next to Albus. "So where Teddy?" Albus asked, looking around, and trying to change the subject. "He's ogling at brooms. If the world blew up, he wouldn't even notice." She said, chuckling softly. "But, don't trifle with Gabrielle's heart, she's…fragile. When they were in Paris this summer, she met a guy, and right when it seemed he liked her as more than friends, he ran off with another girl." Victoria said, waving to a group of her friends at the end of the street. "Just…don't mess with her heart. Now, I've got to go, Teddy's probably looking for me." She said, walking away, and leaving Albus even more confused.

Albus simply shook his head and walked down the street, but then spied a reddish brown head of hair disappear down an alley, followed by Greg, and then Scorpius. Tiptoeing, Albus went to the alley and stood around the corner, out of sight, and tried to hear what was being said. "…I need the stone! I told you to find it Greg!" Scorpius said, and then there was a muttering, followed by a flash of light and groan of pain, and then followed by a shriek, which sounded a lot like Rose. "SCORPIUS! You can't hurt him! We've been trying to get it!" Rose said, and Albus could imagine her drawing her wand. "You better get it by next Monday." Scorpius said, and Albus ducked inside a store just as Scorpius stormed out of the Alley.

ROSE POV

Rose swiftly walked into a dark alley, annoyed that Scorpius wanted a meeting today. She knew he was trying to rise to power like Voldemort, but unlike Voldemort, he had a difficult time of it. He had said he needed something to terrorize people with, and then he'd explained about a stone, that could bring back darkness. Rose thought it was all junk.

Rose stopped in the middle of the Alley, smiling slightly as Greg walked in also, looking behind his back not to be seen. "Scorpius here yet?" He asked, standing quite close next to her. "No, but did you get it? He'll be angry if you haven't gotten it yet…" She said softly, so only Greg could hear. A moment later, Scorpius walked in, cutting off Greg's answer. "Have you gotten it? I need that stone! I told you to find it Greg!" He quickly demanded. Greg only shook his head, and Rose looked in horror as Scorpius muttered a curse, and Greg was suddenly bending over and groaning from obvious pain. "SCORPIUS! You can't hurt him!" Rose shrieked, knocking Scorpius' wand away and stepping in front of Greg. "We'll get what you want." She said softly, watching him. "You better get it by next Monday!" Scorpius demanded again, then picked up his wand and swiftly walked out.

"You alright?" Rose asked, turning to Greg. "Yea…but that git will pay soon…" Greg said, glaring at where Scorpius disappeared to. "C'mon, let's head to the castle…" Rose said, grabbing Greg's hand gently and leading him back to the castle.

ALBUS POV

Albus watched through the store window as Rose led a pained looking Greg out of the Alley, and the two headed up to the castle. Albus then exited the shop, and headed back up to the castle too, completely mystified.

AUTHORS NOTE: So I hope this chapter clears things up…but before anyone says anything, the stone part is a different stone than JK Rowling's, it's entirely different.

Sorry for not updating much, Between school and Vacation and work, I rarely have time to update that much. But I will try to update as much as possible.

DISCLAIMER HOWEVER, THE STONE IDEA WAS GIVEN TO ME BY JK ROWLING, SO I GIVE HER CREDIT FOR THAT PART.
