Bonjour people of the world who are reading this fan fiction! I am really excited about writing this so it would be great if you shared my enthusiasm and REVIEWED. Please do not think I am being pushy because doesn't ever author want people's opinions on their stories? Well if not, I DO!

I hope you like this story.

JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR. The first bit of this chapter is in Rose's point of view. After the line of dotted lines it changes to Scorpius's point of view.

Please review. Thanks to those who have!

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I, dork-with-glasses, do NOT own Harry Potter.

"ROSE! HURRY UP!" my charming brother shouted from downstairs.

"JUST WAIT!" I yelled back from my bedroom, "I'LL BE THERE IN A SECOND!"

It was the first of September again and I was in my room finishing my packing. I had already packed almost everything but I had to pack my pyjamas and toothbrush and other stuff that I had used this morning or last night. I looked around my room; it was almost the same as it had always been. It had pale yellow walls (not the yucky yellow, a nice yellow), soft cream carpet and my double bed in the middle with an arrangement of blankets. I have a desk in one corner, overlooking a window, and then there is a big wardrobe against the opposite wall. My curtains are navy blue; they have to be dark so that the block out the morning light, I can't sleep with light in my room. There were posters of various things on the walls, one of the Chudley Cannons, ones of my favourite wizarding bands plus heaps of photos. I took one last look at my room until Christmas and proceeded out the door.

Walking down the stairs I saw a mass of ginger streak past me, back up the stairs.

"HUGO!" I shouted. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO BORIS?"

Boris is our cat. I am surprised I have never mentioned him before. He is quite old; he is mum's old cat's (Crookshanks) baby. We have had him forever and Hugo loves scaring him!

"Nothing Rose." Hugo said as I got downstairs and walked into the kitchen/dining room. This room was also painted yellow. Everything in here was perfectly in order. It was almost a complete opposite to the Burrow.

"Uh huh!" I started.

"Stop it guys." Dad said as he came in the room from outside where he had been putting our trunks in his new Ford Anglia.

"I'm not a guy, I'm a girl!" I said, smirking. A different smirk to the one I give Malfoy, a nicer, more joking one.

"Well with the number of boyfriends you've had you could be." Hugo said.

I looked at him angrily. He backed away. "Sorry, didn't mean anything."

"Don't worry Rose. I didn't get my first girlfriend until sixth year." Dad told me.

"Yeah, I know and it was the 'worst relationship of your life.' Which isn't saying much as your only girlfriends were her and mum." I said gloomily.

"Don't worry about it Rosie. Sometimes you don't know the person is there until it's almost too late. I mean think about it. Your mum and I were friends for seven years before we started going out. Maybe your future husband is like that. Maybe he has been there the whole time and you haven't even noticed him."

"Yeah yeah, I've heard it all before." I muttered and walked out the door. Not the best way to start the school year.

..................................................................................................................

I looked around my bedroom, it would be Christmas the next time I saw it.

I didn't really like my bedroom. It was emerald green, yeah typical I know with cream coloured carpet. I have a double bed in the middle of the room which is basically the only thing I like about my room. I have a desk in front of the window so I can look out of it when I do my holiday homework and other stuff. I have a wardrobe near the desk. I have posters on my walls, mostly of the Tornados Quidditch team and some other bands and stuff.

It's September the first and it's time to go back to Hogwarts. I love Hogwarts but the peer pressure to have a girlfriend is persistent. It's alright for those who are dating someone, like Vincent (just before the holidays him and Bella started going out which I will admit was kind of weird for Greg, Lisa and I but if they're happy I guess that's all that matters) but for the rest of us it just stinks.

"Don't worry Scorp." Dad had told me. "I didn't really start dating till after Hogwarts, well I went out with Pansy Parkinson unofficially for a bit but nothing major till after school."

"It's different now a day's Dad." I had told him.

"That may be Scorp but I wouldn't worry about it. You have plenty of time to fall in love. Don't rush into it. Remember that your future wife might be someone right under your nose, someone you have never even thought about liking. It could be, you never know."

Right under my nose? I highly doubt it.

Author's note: Just a quick little chapter today. Well I have been doing those a bit lately. I just wanted you guys to understand the situation that Rose and Scorpius are in. The fact that they are in a situation and society where you aren't 'cool' if you aren't dating someone.

Just to point out Boris is the name of my old ginger cat. We had to give him away when we moved but this mention is just to remember him.

Thanks for the reviews. Any mistakes or anything that you notice I would love to hear about. It will make my writing much better. Anything good you have to say about my story, please say it because if you have got this far you probably like my story. I can't imagine you would get 9 chapters in if you didn't like it. Well maybe you are waiting for the actual plot. If you are then KEEP READING and it will pay off. Well I hope so.

Well this has been quite a long author's note so I am going to dash.
