CHAPTER 1

Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter... *sighs* I don't. Darn.

EEEEE! I'm excited. Yes, this is short. I know. Why is it short? Because I'm testing out a new writing style. REVIEW!

Dumbledore smiled as if he knew something the two enemies didn't. "You two will both patrol the corridors together. As I've heard from the professors, particularly Professor Snape, who claims you two have never had a lesson without an argument, you don't get along."

Rose looked sheepish. "We always have to be partners, and Scorpius seems to have a problem with any help I try to give him."

"Because she BURNS things," Scorpius added smugly. "She set that Longbottom kid on FIRE!"

"That was an accident and you know it," snapped Rose. "Snape gave us the wrong ingredients."

Scorpius shook his head. "No, you grabbed the moonstones when you were supposed to put in powdered belladonna."

Dumbledore put his hand up, signaling the end of their argument. "I can see that what your professors said was, in fact, true. It seems like patrolling tonight might end in disaster."

The enemies nodded emphatically.

"So I think you shall patrol with the Griffindor prefects, to cut off any more quarrels. Rose, you can go with Miss Potter, and Scorpius, you may patrol with Mr. Williams." Dumbledore nodded at their pleased expressions. "However, as you two are fairly similar in personality-"

"What?" yelped Scorpius. "We aren't-"

Dumbledore interrupted calmly. "You are similar in personality and quite frankly, there is no reason I can see that would prevent you from being friends... Unless of course it is hatred from the two families you come from. But as you two are very intellectual, I trust that you would overlook any family issues."

And with that, he left the room, leaving two confused people behind.
