Disclaimer: Another day, another wish, another disappointment. I still don't own Harry Potterverse. *sob*

A/N: hiii! I told you there would be random updates, so here you are: A random update! This has to be one of my favourite chapters so far, you'll probably see why further down ;) still hoping for some more reviews from you guys, if you liked it, hated it, I made a mistake or whatever, I want to hear about it! I took a look at my story stats and there are hundreds of you reading this so thanks, but drop me a review?Relatively short author's note today, I don't have much to say apart form that I wrote a Molly Weasley one-shot that's a spin off from this story but I accidentally deleted it. A few choice words came out ofmy mouth at this point. So I'll let you know when I re-write it.

Happy reading!

Scorpius marched down the train, checking every compartment as he went. Many students looked shocked seeing Scorpius appearing at the door, seeing the rarely agitated and ice cool Malfoy frantically looking for someone and looking murderous. Nobody questioned him, not only because no one wanted to cross him with the terrifying expression on his face but also because they knew who he was looking for. There was only one person who could get a rise out of Scorpius Malfoy, and the only one who could have possibly got him looking like this. He was looking for Rose Weasley.

He got to a compartment with some of Rose's cousins in and barged in, but it was only Lucy, Molly, Hugo and Lily with some of their friends. They all looked shocked at Scorpius bursting in on them apart from Molly, who didn't look up from her book, but said calmly; "Hello Scorpius." and raised her hand in greeting.

"Er, hi. I was wondering if you had seen -" Scorpius began.

"She's next door." Lily smiled in understanding.

"Thanks." Scorpius quickly turned to leave.

"And Scorpius?" Lily called before he could go, "Careful what you say, I don't really think she's in the mood to argue with you again." She paused a second, tilting her head to the side, seeming to consider something before smiling and sitting down.

"What do you mean?" Scorpius asked confusedly.

"Oh I think you do." Lily said serenely, smiling at Scorpius.

Scorpius frowned and slowly turned and left the compartment. Albus was waiting outside, as had caught up with him, and saw him leaving the compartment with a bewildered look on his face.

"What's up?" He asked. "Don't tell me you got this far and then chickened out."

"I don't understand you sister." Scorpius said.

"Lily? Oh yeah, don't worry, no one does." Albus said unconcerned. "Only mum understands her, the rest of us don't have a clue what she's going on about half the time."

"Okay." Scorpius said slowly, "I'm going to go and talk to Rose."

"Good luck!" Albus called. "Not that you'll need it or anything." He added sarcastically.

Scorpius shot him a withering glare before entering the compartment next door.

He saw 6 heads turn in his direction as he went in. Dominique and Roxanne looked at him interestedly, James, Fred and Louis look at him with distrust and Rose turned scarlet before shooting him a glare.

Scorpius rubbed the back of his neck, "Rose? Can I talk to you for a second?" He asked carefully.

Fred looked like he was going to say something but Roxanne elbowed him in the gut and stared pointedly at Rose.

"I suppose so." She said calmly, although a blush lingered on her cheeks.

"Can we go somewhere else?" He asked.

Rose nodded before getting up and leaving the compartment.

James, Fred and Louis glared at Scorpius menacingly after Rose had left, but Dom rolled her eyes, "For God's sake, stop it you lot." She grumbled. "Ignore them," she added to Scorpius, "go and talk to her."

"But be nice!" Roxanne called as Scorpius left.

"I think everywhere is full." Scorpius said awkwardly to Rose as he entered the corridor.

"So talk here then." Rose said, crossing her arms.

"Okay, well it's about Finnigan." Scorpius began.

"Yes." Rose said suspiciously, narrowing her eyes at Scorpius.

"Well he came into our compartment earlier," Scorpius started. "And he asked me to talk to you because, and I quote, "it's bloody annoying to have a girlfriend moping around all the time when I'm trying to snog her or whatever."" Scorpius waited for some kind of reaction from Rose, but when nothing came, he ploughed on. "He also said something about how he'd have to get a new girlfriend if you didn't cheer up."

"And why should I believe you?" Rose asked skeptically, raising an eyebrow. "How do I know you're not just making this up in a misguided attempt to prove your point?"

"Because I'm telling the truth!" Scorpius replied hotly. "Albus will back me up." He declared.

At this, Rose seemed to literally turn red with fury, "Of course he would!" She yelled. "He will always take your side, even if he has to lie to do it!"

"No, Rose listen -" Scorpius tried to interrupt, but Rose was having none of it.

"You're just trying to break me and Eoghan up! That's all you're trying to do, but telling a lie about it, that's low Scorpius!" Rose continued furiously.

At this, Scorpius had to interrupt, "I'm not lying! And why would I want to do split you two up?" He asked angrily.

"I don't know do I?" Rose shouted, "But you should learn to keep your big fat nose out of MY BUSINESS!"

"MAYBE I'M JUST TRYING TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU!" Scorpius roared back at her, both of them oblivious to the whole carriage poking their heads out of their compartments to watch the fight.

"WELL IF YOU'RE THAT CONCERNED ABOUT ME AND MY BOYFRIENDS MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK ME OUT THEN!" Rose yelled, incandescent.

"I WAS GOING TO!" Scorpius shouted, "IT'S NOT MY FAULT FINNIGAN GOT TO YOU FIRST."

Everyone seemed to gasp and then go completely silent. Albus, who had been watching from a distance, smacked his hand onto his forehead, Dom and Roxanne high-fived and looked smugly at Louis, Fred and James who were frowning in confusion and Lily and Molly nodded at each other and smiled as if to say, "We were right!"

Rose herself opened her mouth and then closed it again, and gazed at Scorpius in shock.

"Forget it." Scorpius said, running his hand through his hair. "I guess I'll see you later." And with that he turned and strode back down the train.
