He sighed a little as he walked with his parents back on to the platform. A new dragon leather bag slung over his shoulder an undetectable extension charm on it allowing him to carry all of his things in it. He smiled a little as he spoke to his parents giving his mother a hug. He noticed that his fathers posture change and he took a breath. He looked over to see that the Potters and Weasleys had made their way to the platform together. He could feel his mouth go dry as he stood straight as well the second he spotted Rose.
Astoria smiled a little at her boys and leaned up and whispered in Draco's then rested her hand on Scorpius shoulder.
"You better get going son. Want to be able to get a place in a compartment."
She smiled a little and kissed him on the top of his head. He nodded his head a little as he made his way off onto the train. He looked back and waved to his parents and watched them as they started making their way away. He took a breath as they stopped at the Potter exchanged a few words. He shook his head a little not wanting to know what would happen next.
He thought about go thru and finding himself a compartment but shook it off knowing that the Prefects would be empty. He smiled as he was right and he walked in tossing his bag up on the upper rack and laid back on one of the benches. Yawning a little he shut his eyes he thought about taking a small nap since there was no doubt about being left alone the whole trip.
His dreams were nothing shapes when he could soon feel a hand touching his face. He smiled as he slept and leaned into the gentle touch. Taking a breath he started waking up shaking his head a little he slowly started opening his eyes and looked up into a face and smiled more. It took him a little bit to focus but he knew who it was. The halo with red hair shown as he slowly started sitting up.
"Hey Rose."
He smiled a little as he reaches up and gently runs his fingers over check for a moment before slowly pulling away sitting he leaned against the window gently.
"What are you doing up here? Thought you would be with your family."
She laughed a little and shook her head.
"Said I was going to go on patrol then come up here to do some last minute homework."
He laughs and pulled her down to sit next to him.
"And they bought it? They don't know you as well as they think they do?"
She shakes her head and blushes as she sits close to him. He knew her though. And because he did he knew she had all winter homework done the day she got home. As she was sure that he did the same. Taking a breath she rested her head on his shoulder and smiled taking a deep breath taking in his scent. He always smelled so good. She pulled her wand out and flicked it muttering under her breath locking the door so no one would disturb them. He smiled a little as she wrapped her arms around him and smiled.
He had missed this, missed being around her. He wrapped his arm around her as well pulling her a bit closer to him he kissed the top of her head gently. His hands ran gently up and down her back as he rested his feet on the bench across from them. He would tilt his head down and looked to her she was relaxing. He felt himself slowly drifting to sleep as well as was she. His head gently rest on the top of her head nuzzling against her.
"What's going on here?"
He woke with a start jumping out of his seat as did Rose both of them falling to the floor. Looking up he looked into the face of Louise the other Ravenclaw Prefect and Roses cousin. He gasped a little as they both as quickly as they could move away from each other. Their eyes where wide and his full of shock as they stared at each other. Rose stood blushing a deep crimson as she looked to him.
"Louise! Look..It…well…please don't tell them."
The blush faded from one of shock to one of fear. She knew what would happen if her brother, Hugo, or even worse James and Albus ever found out about them. She really did fear the worse. Louise took a breath and shut the door behind him and walked in sitting across from them. They sat a few inches away from each other, but she wanted nothing more than to hold his hand. They watched as Louise took a breath and shook his head.
"Listen, I won't say anything to anyone as long as it stays quite. This would start so much trouble if anyone found out. Damn it Rose, do you know how angry your father would be with this."
He took a breath rubbing his fingers against his temples.
"No offence to you Scorpius but or father has something against you. And he's put that angry into Hugo, James, Albus there's even a little of it in Lilly. None of the others really get it but it's there. Just…just be careful you too."
He stood and gave them a small smile before he walked out of the compartment shutting and locking the door behind him. He knew the only other Prefect on the train was Albus, but there was no way that he would leave James side. He took a breath as he made his way to the compartment and smiled as the others cheered as he came with some snacks.
Scorpius took a breath and rests his head in his hands scrubbing them over his face and he runs his hands up making his hair stick up in a few angles. Rose laughed a little as he reached out and gently fixed a few of the stray strands. He reached out and took her hand looking into her eyes.
"You know that he's right? Us being together would cost nothing but trouble for you. I really don't want to cause trouble for you."
He smiled a little as he moved her hand to his lips gently kissing her knuckles. He slowly stood up reaching up he grabbed his bag from the upper rack and tossed the strap over his shoulder as he headed to the door. He stopped and turned around looking to her.
"I'll see you later Prefect Weasely."
He smiled and nodded his head and made his way out of the compartment and to the one he knew he would find the other Slytherins. He smiled a little as they cheered at his appearance. He smiled a little as he tossed his bag on the rack in there as he laid out on one of the benches. He looked to the other and forced a smile on his face. He took a deep breath and looked up to the ceiling of the train car and sighed.
HE knew that it was going to be hard but he had to stay away from her. He cared about her but he knew that it was best for the both of them to stay away from her. Just for the both of him. He didn't need to cause ripples with in his life. He liked the way that it was going and that he could spend more time with Rose, but it was best not too. He was pretty sure that he was doing what was right. He shut his eyes as he listened to the others talk. He would just have to wait and see what would do, maybe it was the right thing to do, but if it was meant to be it would. He smiled as he thought about the time they spent together and see what would happen now.
