Why Scorpius Loves and Hates Rose Weasley From A to Z

AN: Haaaaaai. I know.. I know.. where was I? With my stupid fiance (you see what I did there?). And you're probably going to kill me for this chapter.

ME: *rolls around on the floor and sobs*

G is for Greetings

Needless to say, they didn't necessarily have the best first impression of each other. It wasn't their fault really. They were star-crossed lovers.

He first saw her, truly, when they called him up to get sorted. Her cousin said something to her, he thinks Albus, and she looks at him quickly and shoves him. He sees her then, with red-brown curly hair and a freckly face. Prof. Longbottom places the hat on his head.

"Oh, a Malfoy... I know where you're going, Slyth- wait a minute... what's this? You're interested in the Weasley girl? Oh if that isn't a laugh, I don't know what is." the Hat chuckled and Scorpius gulped.

"Am not." he whispered.

"Are too. But maybe not interested... perhaps intrigued?"

"Please just place me in Slytherin so we can get over this?" he hissed and the Hat laughed.

"You would like that wouldn't you? Daddy would be relieved, Grandpa would be over the moon. Mum and Grandma? Not so much. And I can sense the girl's potential from here. She may be crafty but she's no Slytherin. And you sir...very smart, very witty, you don't seem to have what your others had... therefore, I proclaim... RAVENCLAW!" he said and the Weasley girl looked at her cousin in shock, but claps all the same as a dazed Scorpius makes his way to the Ravenclaw table.

The first time she actually saw him was in Potions the next day. Potions, was her worst class. It irritated her to no end, that no matter what she does, she just couldn't grasp it. She was phenomenal behind the books, but her actual potions... she was more research than action.

Anyway, he was walking with Lysander, Al's friend and Lorcan was behind them. He brightened when he saw her and she waved to him excitedly. They had gotten their letter early. Lorcan says it's because their magic was so strong and the potential was so untapped. By the time they were babies, they could inflate and deflate their nurses with their laughter. They were hideously smart, grotesquely so, both of them. With their parents, she would say it's good breeding. The Sorting hat barely touched them before yelling, "RAVENCLAW!"

Lysander smiled at her, waving shyly. She always teases Lily on how Lysander had a crush on her that year, before he even knew Lily existed. Lily had had a crush on him for years and was visibly upset when he got his letter early. Not that she expected to, but being away from him, for that long...

Lysander turns to Scorpius and whispers, as Lorcan sits in the seat next to her, smiling at her. He's always been the quiet one, the one with the most to say but could never say it. She understood him perfectly though. He was her best friend.

Lysander taps Rose's shoulder and she turns.

"I want you to meet Scorpius. He's my roommate." Lysander said, smiling at her. Rose looks at him, thoughtfully. Scorpius looks back at her, an unreadable expression on her face.

"Malfoy." she says, nodding to him curtly.

"Weasley." he says coolly and she turns back around, crossing her arms as Professor Slughorn ambles in, almost tripping over his robes.

"What do you mean you're friends with him?" Rose screeched. "I can't stand him!" she said to Al, pacing in his room one day.

"If I told you I hated Lorcan or Caroline, what would you say?"

"Rubbish, you've know Lor since you were in diapers and you barely know Caroline, leave her alone!" Rose slapped his arm. Al rubbed it as he glared at her.

"I don't annoy Caroline. And I know her!" Al sulked and Rose glared at him. That was not the point.

Their first fight. Ah, he remembers it like it was yesterday. It was over him getting higher on a Potions test today. She got an E, he got an O. She was livid. It was the first time all year that's happened. She was sucking the fun out of it by hating him.

"Come on Weasel, just accept it. Potions isn't your thing." he shrugged and she glared at him, malice and murder bearing deep into his own.

"Shut up." she said, and he was startled to hear how much this affected her. Maybe he shouldn't-

"Just because you get higher than me once, you feel it necessary to get an even bigger head!" she screeched and Scorpius disregarded his previous thought.

"Maybe that's why I'm in Ravenclaw, and you're in Gyffindor." he sang, taunting her by pulling one of her red curls. She bats his arm away and he smirks at her. Aw, he remembers his first smirk. It was a good day.

Not for Rose. "Get that ridiculous simper off of your face Malfoy. My mum was the brightest witch of her age and in Gryffindor. Your house isn't who you are, and you are the most impossible, arrogant-"

"Insufferable, bossy,"

"-evil, horrible,"

"... know-it-all jerk."

They both heaved a breath of finality and scowled at each other. His blood was boiling. It was racing from vein to vein and he realized he was breathing heavy, just as heavy as her. He didn't know what this feeling was, but it didn't seem all too bad.

Hey. so it's short but I have other projects now. w00t.

HINT:

1. If you don't know the alphabet... next it's H

2. Think place and it's their sixth year... after the reunion (which is a recurring theme in all my fanfics lol /variety)

3. I think I shall add some Felix Felicis... and there will be a kiss.

4. Don't expect me to update like in twelve seconds. I want this one to be really good.
