Chapter Two:

The train came to a stop all to quickly. "These rides get shorter and shorter." Scorpius moaned as I gathered my stuff. I nodded.

"I'll see you Scorpius. Soon. I mean we'll most likely have classes together."

"And there is the library." Scorpius added. I nodded.
"Bye, enemy." I smiled as I hugged Scorpius.
"Bye Rosie." He said, I pushed my cart out the door, without glancing back. I got on the platform and intensely spotted James towering over the first years.
"Rose!" He called, he came shuffling over, Lily, Hugo and Albus following.

"Hey." I said, I smiled.

"Where were you?" He asked.

"Bathroom."
"Really?"
"Yes, then I left and I couldn't find you guys so I found an empty compartment."
"Oh ok."

I turned to Albus and I leaned against my cart. "Hey, Al how's your girlfriend, you should ask her to ride in our carriage."

Albus blushed, he really wanted Joanne to be a secret but everyone knew, even Scorpius.

SCORPIUS! I turned quickly, I saw him climbing off the train, a Slytherin girl, Mary was her name, was trailing behind him. Scorpius caught my eye and smiled, I smiled back.

"Who are you smiling at Rose?" Albus asked, I shook my head.

"No one." I said, "Go find your girlfriend."
Albus gave me a evil look and took off. Lily pushed her cart to take his place.

With James leading, we made our way to the carriages, Albus was already in one with Joanne. I climbed in.

"Hey Joanne." I smiled.

"Hey Rose." Joanne said. I sat beside Albus, forcing James to have to sit in between Lily and Hugo.

The whole ride we were discussing what we were taking this year, James was worried he may of not made a high of enough grade to get into O.W.L standard potions.

When the carriage stopped, I climbed out and was met by evil laughter. Mary and Scorpius and a few other Slytherins were standing outside our carriage, I was carrying a book in my hand and Mary slapped it out of my grip.

The book flew and landed in a mud puddle.
Mary let out a shriek, I picked up my book, ruined, and tossed it into my bag.

"Pure evil." Joanne said crossing her arms over her chest.

"It was the girl." I muttered. We walked up to the castle, and I smiled, I was home.

We all filed into the Great Hall and Joanne hugged Albus goodbye.

"See you late Al." She smiled and walked away, I followed, Hugo and Lily to the Gryffindor table. We all sat down, and I glanced at the Slytherin table, Scorpius was laughing with his friends, I sighed as the new first years shuffled past, I wonder what friends the sorting hat would spilt this year.

Once sorting was done we started eating, I finished fast.

"Where are you going?" James asked.

"Library." I said, slinging my bag over my shoulder.

"You are a nerd." Albus said.

"Thanks." I said, turning and jogging up to the library. I crossed my fingers as I ran that Scorpius had seen me. I took a seat at a table and opened a book, it wasn't five minutes when I heard the library door open again.

Scorpius came walking in running his fingers through his hair. He sat at the table.

"Hello." He said, taking cautious look around.

"It's ok Scorpius." I said sliding my hand over the table and taking his, I squeezed.

Scorpius smiled, "So, Rose what's your schedule?"

I pulled it from my bag and out came the ruin book with it, Scorpius frowned.

"Oh, Rose, I'm sorry."
I shook my head, "It's okay Scorpius, it wasn't your fault."
We compared schedules and found that we had Runes together again this year and Care of Magical Creatures.
"Albus is in Care of Magical Creatures though." I said.

We also had Potions and that was about it. It was getting late so I stood up.

"I got to go Scorpius, or Albus will come looking. I hugged him.

"Bye Rosie." I left the library and walked up the many flights of stairs to the Gryffindor common room. When I pushed open the portrait hole Lily greeted me.

"Hi Rosie." She said, I nodded and walked in.
"That was long." James commented as I joined him and Albus on the sofa.

"Yep." I said.

Late I climbed the stairs to the girl's dormitories.

"Oh, well hello Rose." Pippa greeted me.

"Hey Pippa."
"How was your holiday?" Pippa asked, in her normally dreamy voice.

"Good, yours?"
"Great, this year no Nargles got to me." Pippa said.

I climbed into bed and shut my eyes tight. Tonight I wanted to dream of Scorpius.
