A/N : I immensely appreciate the subscribers the story has gotten already, please review If you have any suggestions.
After Roses display on the Hogwarts Express with Scorpius Malfoy she became quite the celebrity, a few people even congratulated her! Rose and Al were talking about Adam Taylor on the way across the lake in the boats when they were interrupted by a small boy with dark hair,
"Sorry but I couldn't help overhearing but are you talking about Adam Taylor?" he asked shyly
"Yes, I think he's extremely good looking to be honest, I wonder what year he's in" Rose replied dreamily
"Oh Rose get a hold of yourself falling for the first tall tanned bloke that comes your way, I think he's a bit of a git anyway, way too full of himself" Albus said sourly "And who might you be?" he inquired looking at the small boy"
"Well I can tell you he's in second year and I agree with you he's a git" laughed the boy "Oh and I'm Daniel Taylor but everyone calls me Dan"
Rose looked shocked "So are you rela..."
"Yes he's my brother" Daniel cut Rose off
"You don't look much like him" Rose blurted out not meaning it to sound like an accusation
"Yes unfortunately Adam got the good looks what with being tall and tanned and what not but I got the brains" he boasted with a smile, "And I've introduced myself who are you" he added rather bluntly
"I Albus but everyone calls me Al and this is Rose, We're cousins"
"Nice you meet you both" Daniel replied with yet another smile and Rose remarked that he did look rather like his brother when he smiled..

Later that evening after a feast so big that he thought he would never eat again Daniel Taylor sat in the Gryffindor common room thinking over the days events in his mind, He was happy to have met Al and Rose he had a feeling they would be really good friends but as he thought that he felt a little tug in his heart, Come on Dan, you hardly know the girl you can't be having feelings that strong for her yet! He thought, but he did indeed have feelings for Rosie Weasley and he knew they would only get stronger but he didn't stand a chance next to his brother, Damn why did Adam have to be in Gryffindor as well! All the more chance for him and Rose to get together, He thought bitterly but before he could ponder any longer on his feelings for Rose the real thing appeared in front of him.
"Hi Dan I just thought I'd come down and say goodnight to you and Al before I went to bed" smiled Rose
Oh she has a lovely smile..STOP, stop it now Dan, he cursed himself and tried to regain some amount of composure but Rose was already talking to Albus so hopefully she hadn't noticed. When Rosie finished talking to Albus she said goodnight and gave him a hug then to his surprise she came over and hugged Daniel as well the just proceeded up the stairs to the girls dormitories.
"Sorry about her she's a bit ..over affectionate I suppose you call it" said Al awkwardly
"Oh D-don't worry about it" stammered Daniel even more awkwardly debating over whether to tell Albus about his feelings for Rose, he decided against it thinking that he and Al would indeed be good friends but right now they bearly knew each other and Rose was after all Al's cousin. So all in due time,
After sitting in front of the fire for what seemed like hours talking about their families and childhoods they felt they had known each other for years and It was only when they looked up and realised that the common room was empty apart from them that they decided to go up to bed knowing that they had a busy day ahead of them tomorrow.

Meanwhile up in the girls dormitories Rose was getting to know the three girls she shared a dormitory with ; Lisa Fox, Angeline Hayes and Erika Byrne, they all seemed like really nice girls and Rose felt she would really get along with them all especially Erika who Rose just knew was going to be a good friend. After telling each other all about their families etc. The talk switched to – as always with girls- boys, the first topic of conversation was of course Rosie's run in with Scorpius on the train,
" You must admit though he is really good looking" said Angeline with a grin and the other girls nodded in unison.
"Yeah I thought he was really good looking and I was hoping to be friends with him but he just ruined it by insulting my family" Rosie said with genuine regret in her voice
"Rumour is that he really fancies you though Rosie" teased Lisa
"That is what confuses me" said Rosie looking puzzled " he did say I was good looking but if he really thought I was good looking why would he insult my family like that"
"Maybe he was just shy and that's what naturally came out, I seen him lurking outside your carriage though so he must really be mad about you" Erika contributed, while all the other girls mused on this information.
"On another note though Rosie your cousin Albus is gorgeous!" squealed Lisa and the other girls agreed again.
"Really? Obviously Al is my cousin so I never thought of him that way, I suppose he is quite handsome" Rose thought out loud
"So he's James Potter's brother and your James' cousin?" asked Erika excitedly
"Yep that's us and James is in 2nd year now" Rose replied nonchalantly , If she thought the squeal the last time was bad this one was much louder, "What's the big deal about James?" she asked
"James Potter is on the quidditch team and he is only the best looking boy probably in the school!" Lisa exclaimed
"Oh well looks like the beauty gene runs in the family" Rose teased and with that the girls all said their good nights and went to sleep, Rosie's last thought before she went asleep was not of Daniel or even Adam Taylor but of Scorpius Malfoy..
