Wow, 11 reviews for 1 chapter, which is just over 1/6 of all my reviews! YAY! I feel totally loved.

So here is the next chapter. I am not going to give you too much detail; you are going to have to read the chapter.

Quick thing, just because Scorpius knows that it was Rose that he smelt in the love potion doesn't mean that he is going to go and declare his love for her. He is pretty good when it comes to denial.

So keep reviewing please! That would be fab! Thanks to everyone who has.

Enjoy this chapter! Starts off in Scorpius's POV, then after the dotted line it changes to Rose's.

Disclaimer: no, for the 21st time this story, I do NOT own Harry Potter.

I walked to Defence Against the Dark Arts on auto pilot. As you can imagine, I was in a state of shock. Who can blame me? I could smell a smell that smelt EXACTLY like Rose Weasley in a love potion. This is just the start of something terrible. I just know I am going to die or something, it is just like tea leaves or something. If only I had taken Divination then I would have seen this coming and NEVER taken potions.

"Hey Scorpo!" I heard Vincent say as he caught up to me. "You left Potions pretty fast!"

"Kill me now!" I moaned.

"Rose drive you up the wall?" he asked. I shook my head. "Well you weren't like this before potions so something must have happened in po- OMG you smelt Weasley in the love potion."

I nodded and groaned. This was the most embarrassing thing ever.

"I KNEW IT!" he shouted, everyone in the corridor seemed to stop what they were doing and turned to stare at us.

"Nice one mate." I muttered.

"I knew we didn't have Herbology today." He covered up and the crowd went back to their own lives, their own, CAREFREE LIVES!

"Close one." I said. "And you are not allowed to tell ANYONE about that love potion."

"Of course I won't tell anyone." He told me, I sighed with relief. "It would be so embarrassing if everyone found out that you love Rose Weasley." He laughed.

"I don't love her." I said through gritted teeth.

"Dude!" Vincent exclaimed "Your love potion smelt like her! What more proof do you want?"

"Your love potion smelt like a girl Malfoy?" I heard a smirking voice behind me, oh bugger. "I truly pity whoever she is. Poor girl, imagine Scorpius Malfoy loving something. I think I'd die if it was me."

And with that Weasley pushed past us, her long reddish hair bouncing as she went.

"You might want to get your funeral organised then Weasley." Vincent muttered after her.

"Just because your love potion smells like someone or something doesn't mean that you love them. It just means you are attracted to the smell. That is completely different." I told him while trying to reassure myself, there was no way on earth that I could EVER love Rose Weasley.

"Scorpius Hyperion-"

"There goes the middle name thing again." I interrupted.

"Malfoy," Vincent continued like I hadn't said anything. "I am going to prove to you that it does mean that. First of all; what were the other smells you smelt?"

"Strawberry jam and the smell of my broomstick." I said simply.

"Exactly, you love strawberry jam and your broomstick, not attracted to the smell."

"That doesn't prove anything." I said flatly. "I need some real proof before I believe you."

"Oh I will find proof!" he said determinably. "And then you will have to admit it to yourself! Straight after Defence Against the Dark Arts I'm going straight to the library."

"You'll never find anything!" I said, trying to sound confident.

"We'll see about that!" he said and we entered the DADA class.

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

After Defence Against the Dark Arts Malfoy and I had our first head meeting. I didn't bother waiting for him, for pretty much anyone else I would wait but since it's Malfoy I won't. Simple enough right?

Professor McGonagall's office is behind a stone gargoyle. I have been in her office only once. It was 4th year when Malfoy and I had been in one particular fight, I won't go into details but we accidently broke pretty much everything in the Charms class room. Actually I am surprised we got to be Heads with all the stuff we've done.

So I am standing in front of the entrance to Professor McGonagall's office when it occurs to me that I don't know the password.

"It's 'Transfiguration'" A voice says from behind me. Malfoy has arrived. It seems he has recovered from whatever happened before DADA, I insulted him and he didn't even respond.

"Thanks. I suppose." Wow it was weird saying thank you to Malfoy.

"You're welcome I suppose." Wow this was a new thing for us.

"Well you two are finally getting along." Another voice said from behind us, Professor McGonagall.

Both Malfoy and I stayed silent.

"Okay, well up you go!" she indicates the revolving staircase.

Once inside McGonagall's office I am strongly reminded of that time in 4th year. I have a feeling Malfoy is too because he looks kind of nervous.

"Take a seat." Professor McGonagall says and we take the seats opposite her desk.

"So as you know, I have appointed you as Head Boy and Girl. Despite you both having some of the highest number of punishments and point deductions since your parents were at school you have both had the most point earning and other achievements as well. I know that you are both confident, strong, smart, caring individuals..."

I wanted to say a really sarcastic comment there but I held my tongue. Malfoy, caring? I think not!

"And I know you are both up to the task of a Head individually. I am however yet to be convinced that you can do it together."

Malfoy and I glanced at each other. It apparently didn't go unnoticed.

"Look, I know you both hate each other, and I know your parents hated each other. Even your grandparents hated each other but can I please ask that you don't let this interfere with your head duties. Do I have your word?"

"Yes." Malfoy and I said at the same time.

"Good. I know you two can get along, your grades that you have got together prove that so I just wanted to make sure that we are clear and that if either of you do anything to interfere with your head responsibilities then I will have you both replaced. Are we clear?"

"Yes." Malfoy and I said again.

"Good, now you will need....." she continued. 10 minutes later we had finished our meeting.

Scorpius and I walked out of the office in silence. It was weird being in silence with Malfoy. Whenever we were together you could count on us saying something insulting to each other.

"See you." He said and he walked off, probably to the Slytherin common room or something.

"Bye."

We had been in each other's company for at least 20 minutes, not school work related, where both of us had been awake and we hadn't said anything insulting. I think that is a record.

Twenty minutes does seem pretty pathetic though, doesn't it? Oh well, we've got the whole school year to work at it.

Author's note: I'm not altogether pleased with this chapter but I would love for you to review anyway. I love Scorpius in denial.

Thanks to EVERYONE who has reviewed, you guys rock.
