Yay Chapter 17!
I can't thank anyone for reviewing the last chapter because no one has yet. But I thank those all in advance who will. Well I hope some people will. I would do it for them.
Anyway I will stop rambling before it gets out of hand. This chapter won't be very fabulous. It's the summer holidays; I never really liked those chapters in the series. Well of course I liked them. I liked all of the HP series. But I didn't love them as much as the rest of the books. Except when they were at the Burrow or Diagon Alley. They were cool places.
So ONWARDS! And enjoy!
I'm going to be really mean and it is only Scorpius's POV in this chapter, just to give the next chapter the element of surprise.

Summer holidays, FINALLY! I can't believe that this is our last summer holidays before we leave Hogwarts. This year will be our last year of exams (N.E.), our last year of classes, our last year of inter -house Quidditch (we just HAVE to win), our last year of the castle, our last year of the grounds, our last year each other....
My last year with Vincent Goyle, Lisa Zabini, Greg Flint, Bella Montague, Rose Weasley....
Well maybe I was exaggerating a little bit. I would probably keep in touch with most of them, not Weasley though, of course. Our future interactions post Hogwarts will probably be not seeing each other for 19 years, then we will see each other at Platform as we send our children off to Hogwarts, we will nod at each other and then turn away. Next we will tell our children to beat the other ones in every test. And of course that Weasleys and Malfoys just don't mix. See, I have it all planned out. Mind you, I thought to myself, she won't be a Weasley if she gets married and changes her name.
That is crazy and really weird, how can Weasley not be a Weasley? I can't exactly tell my children 'Thomas's and Malfoys just don't mix!' that just doesn't sound right. That is of course if she is married to Thomas. Well they have been going out for about 9 months now (don't ask me how I know this, I don't know myself) and everyone thinks that they are the 'cutest couple ever' and that they will end up marrying. It makes me sick and I have to try and stop myself vomiting every time I hear that.
But luckily for me it's the holidays now so for a whole 2 months I don't have to hear 'Oh my gosh, there goes Jack and Rose, they're so cute together.' Or 'aw Thomas and Weasley make such a good couple.' Or ANYTHING like that, well except in my head, right now. STOP TALKING HEAD!
"SCORPIUS!" I heard my dear old dad shout from downstairs. What had I done this time? I swear I have done nothing wrong. Well Dad did get pretty angry when he noticed my grades had dropped. What can I say? I chose the wrong time to become semi-depressed.
"COMING!" I yelled back as I got up from my bed and made my way downstairs.
Walking into the kitchen/dining room I noticed a tawny owl on the kitchen bench, a letter tied to its leg. I saw the name Scorpius Malfoy on the front. Hurriedly, I untied the letter off the leg of the owl, barely noticing my parents who were in the room.
Dear Mr Malfoy, It read. I continued.
This term will begin on September the 1st as usual. The train will depart from Platform 9 ¾ at the usual time of 11 o'clock.
We are pleased to inform you that this year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry you have been appointed Head Boy. Congratulations on this. You must note that the Head Boy and Girl have a compartment to themselves on the Hogwarts Express and you both must address the other prefects and arrange schedules for the patrolling on the train. When you get to Hogwarts you will have a meeting with either me and we will arrange other things.
Once again I congratulate you on becoming Head Boy, you will have to work hard but I am sure that you are up to it.
Yours Sincerely,
Professor N .Longbottom
Deputy Headmaster
A feeling of great pride swelled through my body.
"What is it Scorpius?" Mum asked me.
"I'm Head Boy." I grinned. This was one of the coolest things ever; I had always wanted to be head boy. Ever since I was little.
"Oh I'm so proud of you!" My mum rushed forward and hugged me. "My little baby is Head Boy!" she practically sobbed.
"Calm down Astoria dear," My dad said as he patted my mum on the shoulder. "I'm really proud of you son." He smiled. It was quite a rare occurrence to see Dad smile, I suppose after everything that has happened in his life you can expect it but he was never a very smiley person anyway. When he did smile though, you could tell he meant it.
I smiled back, but just then, suddenly my great balloon of happiness went out with a pop. No, please don't let it be.
"What's the matter?" Dad asked me.
"Nothing." I said hurriedly. "I got to go and send an owl to Vincent, he'll want to know. I bet he got Quidditch Captain, he's so enthusiastic!"
Running upstairs I was trapped in my own thoughts. Please don't let her be head girl. I will die if she is. It would be the worst thing to happen, EVER. We would have to work together for ages. I just don't think I could handle being with her for that long. It would surely be the end of me.
My gut feeling totally disagrees with my hopes but I really hope it's wrong.
Because Rose-know it all- Weasley cannot be Head Girl.
Author's note: Well I hope you liked that chapter. It would be great if you reviewed. That little button down the bottom really wants to be pushed. Thanks heaps to everyone who has previously reviewed. You guys rock.
And don't worry; there is more Scorpius/Rose action next chapter.
And don't auto-matically assume that Rose is Head Girl, she may not be. Only I know! Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
