Sorry for not updating sooner, I'm really busy during the week :(. This chapter is just filler, mostly. Warning, it's quite fluffy. The plot will be thickening soon, don't worry! Enjoy!

Thank you so much to my reviewers, Just-As-Loony-As-Luna and Hesper Black! Also, thanks to all of you who have subscribed! Reviews do really convince me to get off my lazy arse and start writing.

I may be looking for a beta sometime soon. I've never actually had one, but I need an upgrade from my younger sister...

Disclaimer- I own Cass, nothing else.

Rose Weasley sat alone in the Gryffindor Common Room, absorbed in a good sized book as the fire crackled eagerly. If she had looked out one of the many large windows in the room, she would have seen the sun setting over the Black Lake, turning the trees an inky black against the warm sky.

One of the two large, ornately carven doors opened a crack, and none other than Scorpius Malfoy entered, his arms full of a random assortment of books, parchment, and quills.

Rose drew her attention away from her book for a moment to look over her shoulder.

"Hey," Scorpius greeted casually, closing the door behind him with a resounding click.

"Hi," Rose responded, before returning to her book.

Scorpius walked easily to the circle of couches that surrounded the fireplace. The fourteen-year-old reached the comfortable burgundy loveseat that Rose was sitting on.

"Do you mind?" He asked, noticing her look up at him.

"Not at all," She replied, and he sat down, sinking into the worn cushions a bit.

Scorpius spread his books on the table that was positioned before the couch, and opened one, flipping pages until he found the right one.

"What's the brewing time for Polyjuice potion?"

"One month," Rose answered instantly.

"Thanks," Scorpius said, scribbling on a roll of parchment. "OWLs are gonna suck, if they're as hard as the homework is."

"Yeah."

An awkward silence filled the room, and the two fourth-years turned back to their homework.

After about a minute, Rose blew her unruly hair away from her face. Scorpius slowly tucked it behind her ear as she wrote.

Their eyes met, but they didn't look away disconcerted as they usually did. Her brown eyes locked on his blue, they leaned towards one another.

At this moment, Albus Potter was strolling the corridors that led to the Gryffindor Common Room, in an animated discussion with Cass Jones and Hugo Weasley about the Holyhead Harpies-Chudley Cannons game scheduled for next week.

"I'm just saying, with their seeker, the Cannons don't even stand a chance against our chasers," Cass explained, exasperated.

"Yeah, but have you seen Holyhead's seeker? Can't see the snitch to save her life," Hugo retorted.

"At least our beaters can aim," Albus defended.

"Just because of what happened last week, nobody recognizes their talent," Hugo said.

"He missed the bludger and got knocked off his broom. It was bad, Hugo," Cass divulged.

"It was coming at a weird angle."

"It was coming straight at him. Honestly, Lucy could have hit it, and we all know how bad she is at Quidditch." Albus quipped.

"Besides," Cass started to push open the door to the common room. "With our chasers, the Harpies are going to kick -." Cass stopped talking when Albus elbowed her in the ribs. Hard.

"Owh, what the -." Cass began rather loudly, but broke off when she saw why Albus had wanted her to shut up. She dropped her broom on the wooden common room floor.

Both Rose and Scorpius immediately backed out of the kiss as soon as they heard Cass.

"Awkward," Cass said, trying, but not succeeding, to alleviate the tension.

"I'll just, uh, just go to, um, go to the library," Rose panicked. She knew that her cousin, friend, and brother would want to know exactly what had happened, while frankly, Rose herself didn't even know. She sighed, and continued towards the library with only one thought in her mind.

I almost kissed Scorpius Malfoy.

So, it's really short. Sorry about that. I'm not great at writing fluff, again, sorry. I wanted to get this update out quick, before you all got too PO'd at me ;)

FYI- Lucy is Percy and Audrey's youngest daughter. I was going to have Roxanne be bad at Quidditch, but then I remembered that she's George and Angelina's kid, so… not really possible.

Reviews are greatly appreciated!
