A/N: I know it's been forever since I updated this but I just had this huge huge huge wall of writers block. I kept trying to just cut through it but nothing was happening. Till today when I went to the source of my problem (lack of a main villain and purpose for said villain) and fixed it! Everything else just fell into place. I have purpose for all the minor villains now and the plot can finally get thick, deep, and meaningful. I also changed the summary because the characters are too young to fall in love. Maybe in the sequel.... And the old one gave away to many spoilers. And the new one sounds cooler!
Disclaimer: I will never own Harry Potter. JKR does.

Scorpius looked down at his broom and shivered in anticipation. Today was the day. His first Quidditch match for Ravenclaw. It was against Hufflepuff, which made him even more nervous because Rose was on the team. He'd have to compete against her.
Both he and Rose had tried out for their respective Quidditch teams. Al had tried too. Now, that was a disaster. He had managed to fly himself into the stands and knock three, not one, not two, but thereof them down. And he was still convinced that he was a great Quidditch player. Yeah right.
El didn't want to try out. Even though she turned out to be quite good at flying once Scorpius gave her a lesson, she didn't hold with, "Bunch of idiots trying to get themselves killed over a few flying balls." Then she added a quick "no offense" realizing that she had said it to three Quidditch fanatics.
Rose had aced her keeper tryouts. She had wrote home for one of the first times since she got sorted to tell her dad that she was following in his footsteps, albeit in a different house. She carefully avoided the still sour subject of her friendship with Scorpius though. He still wasn't quite on board with that.
He had written back overjoyed with the fact that she was the new Hufflepuff Keeper. He bombarded her with stories of his own days on the Gryffindor team and gave her tips on everything. She was glad that she had her dad back, even if he was an immature prat.
Scorpius had made Ravenclaw Seeker with similar ease. More people tried out for it than they did with Rose, but his sharp eye found the snitch in record time for a first year. But he really didn't have anyone to write to with the news. His mom really didn't get Quidditch, and even though his dad had played for Slytherin, he hadn't really liked it that much. Draco Malfoy had only played the sport because Lucius had made him. Apparently, "it made the family look better," as Scorpius's father had told him.
Scorpius and Rose had congratulated each other and together they laughed about Al's tryout. But neither of them thought about how they would have to play against each other eventually. Not till the first match was announced did they realize it.
For once, the first match of the year was not Slytherin and Gryffindor, but Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. The reason for it was that when Al crashed into the stands during his tryouts, the stands fell on the Slytherin team's captain. So the switched the order of the first two matches.
Scorpius grabbed his broom and ran out of the broom shed. He was proud of his broom. It was a Nimbus 2015. Nowhere near was an Airbolt, like Rose's, or a Firebolt, but it still was a good broom.
He mounted up and took off flying toward the pitch. He had to practice before the match. He'd never hear the end of it if Rose beat him. Of course, that couldn't happen.
---------------------------------
Rose Weasley was pacing back and forth in the Hufflepuff common room. Lisa walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. Lisa was an okay friend to Rose. Not like Scorpius, Al, or even El, but friendly all the same. But then, what Hufflepuff wasn't friendly? Lisa was on the Quidditch team too. She was one of the chasers.
"What's wrong Rose? Why are you so nervous?" Lisa said, concerned.
"You know why. We have that Quidditch match today." Rose said.
"It's about more than that though. I can tell."
"Fine. I'll tell you." Rose sighed. "Scorpius is playing on the Ravenclaw team today."
"Oh, you're worried about playing against your friend. It's okay. It's just a game. I doubt he'll care."
"You're right, Lisa. And if we win, he'll never hear the end of it." She said with a smile.
"Now, come on. We got to get to the pitch." And with that, Lisa whisked her out the door.

"Mount your brooms!" Oliver Wood, the flying professor, yelled. "I want a good clean match, okay?"
In the background, over the roar of the crowds in the stand, you could hear the commentary of Roxanne Weasley (George's daughter, fourth year Gryffindor).
"Today we have, instead of the traditional first match between Slytherin and Gryffindor; we have a match between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. This is because my little Slytherin cousin Albus Potter knocked a stand onto the Slytherin team's captain. He's out there somewhere, so find him later if you want to express you're displeasure at this." Roxanne looked peeved.
"Miss Weasley! Comment on the game or not at all!" McGonagall shouted.
"Fine! Okay so the Players on the Ravenclaw team are Chang, Scamander, Rolf, Smith, Thomas, Brown, and the seeker Scorpius Malfoy. Scorpius is the first first year to make it on the Ravenclaw team in a couple of years. Can't wait to see how he'll fare. For the Hufflepuff, we have my cousin Rose Weasley as Keeper, another first year. Lisa Lane, also a first year, is seeker. Also on the team: Maw, Craig, Nom, Grey, and Macmillan. Rose is supposedly friends with Scorpius Malfoy, so I wonder how that will affect the match. It's already affected her relationship with her father, my uncle. Wonder why…"
"Miss Weasley! Pay attention to the match!"
Rose was blushing so hard at Roxanne's comment that she almost missed the whistle that signaled kick off. But thankfully, she didn't. She flew up to the posts and started circling.
Scorpius kept an eye on her as she blocked quaffle after quaffle. Ravenclaw hadn't scored a single goal yet, and Hufflepuff had scored a few. Not good. He had to catch the snitch and soon.
A flash of gold. There. There it was. The snitch! It was over by the Ravenclaw goals fluttering near Rose. He dived.
She noticed Scorpius heading for her and almost immediately noticed why. She tried to block him but too late. He grabbed it and Wood blew the whistle to signal the end of the match. She was ready to fly down but then it happened. Everything went black.
Scorpius saw a flash of light, not unlike a stunning spell hit Rose the second before she fell. She just fell off her broom. He felt his lips form the words but didn't hear a thing. Everyone else did, however.
"NOOOOO! NO! ROSE! ROSE!"

A/N: Ha! I'm evil leaving it right there. The plot thickens. I have the villains and their purpose all worked out right now so hopefully writer's block won't be a problem. So I just need reviews to write a new chapter. Tell me, did you like it? What do you think happened? What will happen next? Tell me! Review!
