This is my first fanfiction, ever, so please go easy on me. I love Rose/Scorpius together, always have, so I decided to write my first story based on them. I rated T for later chapters, just to be safe…so yeah, I hope you enjoy it! Please review, I want to hear what you have to say :)

Chapter One

This year was to be my first year attending Hogwarts. When we arrived at King's Cross station this morning, I almost couldn't contain my excitement. I couldn't believe Albus, my cousin and best friend, would finally be going to Hogwarts! I knew Al was worried about which house he would be sorted into, but I wasn't worried. I would probably be in either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, and either was fine with me. We saw the Potters approaching us from across the station.

"Hi," Albus said to me, looking relieved to see me. It appeared James had been giving him a hard time again, which was not unusual.

Our parents started talking to each other, and LIly and my brother Hugo, who were the same age, also began a discussion. They were already worried about which house they would be sorted into at Hogwarts, even though they wouldn't be going there for another two years.

"If you're not in Gryffindor, we'll disinherit you," my father said, "but no pressure." I could see Al's face losing color at this comment. I was also a bit worried, as I wasn't entirely sure where I would be placed either.

"Ron!" My mother said, sounding exasperated. I saw my uncle Harry and my father both look at a spot on the platform. I craned my neck to see what had gotten their attention.

"Look who it is." A group of three people stood there near the magnificent scarlet train. They were all very pale, dressed in dark colors. I recognized the father as Draco Malfoy, my father's old enemy. There was a woman with him, who I assumed was his wife, and a boy who looked about my age. The boy was almost a mini replica of his father. He had blonde hair, which he wore slicked back. Draco nodded in our direction, and turned away.

"So that's little Scorpius, make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains.:" My father said to me. I wasn't really paying attention, though, for the pale young boy, who I now knew to be Scorpius, was staring at me from across the platform. I stared back, curious. My mother was scolding my father, slightly amused at his outburst.

My father apologized, and I tuned back into the conversation as I heard him say, "Don't get too friendly with him, though, Rosie. Granddad Weasley would never forgive you if you married a pureblood." I looked at him, shocked. As if I would ever be interested in, let alone marry, a Malfoy!

James appeared, distracting the rest of the family's attention. I, however, was still focused on Scorpius. He kept glancing over at me. There was something about him that intrigued me, but I wasn't sure what. He seemed arrogant, just by the way he stood. Somehow I knew though, that there was more to him than that.

A few minutes later, it was time to board the train. We said goodbye to our parents, and climbed aboard the train. James abandoned Al and I to go sit with his older friends, so we continued down the corridor looking for an empty compartment. It appeared we had boarded too late to find one of our own, so we decided to ask to join a group of friendly looking first years.

"Hi," I said, "Do you mind if we join you?"

"Not at all, please sit down." A friendly looking boy with bright blue eyes and dark brown hair said, patting the seat next to him. I sat down there, Al sitting across from me. The boy introduced himself as Ryan Davies, and went around introducing the others. There was a boy with golden curly hair and brown eyes, with a smirk on his face, who Ryan introduced as Dylan McLaggen. The boy sitting next to him was Matthew Corner, who had shaggy brown hair and chocolate eyes. Oliver Goldstein was sitting next to him, a kind looking boy with light brown hair and hazel eyes. Ella Fitz, the only girl in the compartment, was sitting next to Ryan, and had beautiful shiny black hair and piercing blue eyes.

Al was in a conversation with the other three boys, and Ryan was talking to Ella. I looked out through the glass door of the compartment, and was surprised to see a pair of gray eyes staring at me from the compartment across the hall. It was Scorpius Malfoy, leaning forward in his seat, watching me through the glass. He smirked when he saw me notice him, and turned back toward his friends. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something different about him, something special. He wasn't just like his father, he wasn't a regular Slytherin.

I needed to move around and sort out my thoughts, so I told Al I was going to the bathroom. I slid open the compartment door and stepped out into the hallway. There were a few people milling about, and I saw the candy cart at the far end of the hall. I looked into the compartment across the hall, and was surprised to see the spot where Scorpius had been sitting empty. I started towards the lavatory, which I knew to be at the end of the hall, puzzled.

There were a few people in line before me, so I waited patiently, still curious as to where Scorpius could have disappeared to. The mystery was solved when the bathroom compartment door opened. Scorpius stepped out and headed back towards his compartment, but stopped when he saw me in line. His blonde hair, which was previously slicked back, was now ruffled. He had loosened his tight tie, and now had more of a carefree look. His gray eyes were as piercing as ever as he stared at me.

"Like what you see, Weasley?" He asked, mockingly.

"As if, Malfoy. I was just sizing up the competition. Looks like there won't be much." I retorted. I wasn't willing to admit that I did in fact like what I saw. There was something attractive about Scorpius, and his cocky attitude. Maybe it was his confidence, or the fact that he was the only boy my father had said to stay away from.

Scorpius laughed. He leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "We both know that's not what you were doing, Rose." He laughed again and sauntered back down the hall. He reached his compartment, and winked at me before sliding open the door. Confused, I entered the bathroom, as the line was now gone. I got back to my compartment as quickly as I could, and joined into Al and the other boys' conversation.
