A/N : This is my second chapter in one day! Oh how I spoil you! So please can you pay me back by reviewing or pm-ing me with suggestions, I love input so please :)
After saying goodbye to Erika, Lisa and Angeline that morning ( all of which were staying at Hogwarts for the holidays) Rose grabbed her trunk and dragged it down to the entrance hall where she planned on saying goodbye to Scorpius before meeting James, Al and Dan to walk down to the train. Scorpius was staying in the castle for the holidays and she had to admit that she would miss him for the two weeks away from each other. As she entered the entrance hall she found Scorpius already there waiting for her and smiled he was always late but he was there on time today to make sure he got to say goodbye.
"Well look who isn't late for once" she called over to him.
He laughed and turned to see her, he had gotten up early this morning especially to see her off and he wanted to be there before her just this once.
"You think I would be late for you fair maiden" he said feigning horror
She laughed this time and ran over to hug him,
"I will miss you Scorpius"
"I'll will you too Rose but I will owl you everyday so you tell fill me in with stories of how Dan Taylor can't find his voice around you" he laughed
"Shuussh Scorpius" she tried to say in a stern voice but she couldn't help the giggle that escaped her
She heard Al and James call her from the doors and she gave Scorpius one last hug before picking up her trunk and leaving.
As she left Scorpius felt a pang in his stomach, he really would miss her. Although he wouldn't deny that she is an extremely pretty girl all romantic feelings towards her had slowly disappeared over the last few weeks as they grew closer and closer now he thought of her just as his best friend.
"Sorry you tell you mate but you definitely like her as more than a friend" Marco said from somewhere behind Scorpius
"I do not! She's a really good friend to me Marc that's all please let it go"
"Okay whatever you say Scorp"

It was Christmas morning in the Potter Household and It was a brilliant event, Uncle Ron had flooed that morning to say Happy Christmas which was soon followed by Roses Mum then her Dad. Rose had woken up that morning and thrown herself out of bed and went running into the boys room where Dan, James and Al were sleeping.
"Wake up! Wake up! It's Christmas" she shouted at them which caused both the Potters to stir a little but nothing from Dan. She went to the foot of Dans bed and stepped back abit before running and launching herself onto the bed landing on top of him.
"What the..? gerrof me Rosie!" came the squeal from underneath a pile of blankets.
James and Al were out of their beds at this stage and doubled over in laughter at Dan tried to untangle himself for both Rosie and the blankets when someone else walked into the room.
"Finally got the girl did you Dan?" sneered the voice of Adam Taylor
"Adam?" asked James "You're earlier"
"No he's not he's exactly on time it's 11 o' clock, which is why I came in to wake you all" came Rosies muffled voice from underneath the blankets still tangled up
"Oh sorry mate we must have slept in" said James
"No problem I'll go and leave you to get dressed and the lovebirds to untangle themselves" he sneered once again.
James and Al were fully dressed and Rosie and Dan were still tangled in the covers, the reason for this being that they were both moving so frantically to try and get out that they were tangling themselves more
"James, Al can you help us here a little" cried Rose
"Nope you got yourself into this mess you can get out of it" laughed James and Al as they left the room
"Sorry Dan this obviously wasn't one of my better ideas" sighed Rosie
"S'okay, look if we both stop moving i'll try and pull my leg from under you and then we should be out"
"Okay let's try that" answered Rose
The both stopped moving and Dan moved himself around which only resulted in them both falling out of the bed and landing on the floor with Dan on top of her, they just lay there looking at each other for a minute until..
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!"
"James get a grip we just fell out of the bed trying to get untangled" Rosie sighed yet again
"UP! NOW! ROSIE GO GET DRESSED IN YOUR OWN ROOM"
Rose did as she was told knowing not to mess with James when he was like this, mouthing sorry over to Dan on the way out who returned with a weak smile.
As Rose got dressed she took of what had just happened, the way Dan had looked at her, they had nearly kissed! But what scared her most was that she kind of wanted to kiss him, Oh why does her life have to be so complicated? Why couldn't she just focus on her studies like a normal girl her age? Well now that she thinks about it don't most normal girls her age want loads of boys around INSTEAD of study? Oh who knows! She better go down to dinner before Ginny wonders where she got to.
x-x-x-x
Dinner passed like a normal Weasley/Potter affair the only difference being it was slightly quieter than usual as Ginny decided not to go to The Burrow this year because there was so many adults missing. After dinner Aunt Ginny asked Rose and Adam Taylor to do the dishes,
"Rosie will you do the dishes for me please? And this young man, is it Adam? Will help you"
Rose inwardly groaned at the thoughts of being alone with Adam for the next few minutes but Adam seemed very enthusiastic and followed her into the kitchen to start the washing,
"So you and my brother?" Adam asked with a sly grin
"Are just friends" answered Rosie quickly
"He really likes you, you know"
"No he doesn't don't be a git, he bearly talks to me"
"Because he likes you and he's afraid to! And they say you're the smart one" he sniggered and Rose gasped, what he was saying made sense, how Dan turned red around her and was always lost for words, "Oh you get it now do you? And then you're in bed with him this morning bet you made his day" Adam added
"I was not in bed with him! I went in to wake the boys up and I ended up..."
"In bed with him, yeah" Adam rolled his eyes
"What is your problem? You're so mean about your brother and you always have something to say about everything" Rose asked through gritted teeth
"You really want to know? I was quite jealous of Dan this morning Rosie, I thought you were gorgeous from the moment I saw you on the Hogwarts express but you've never paid anything attention to me and then you go and be best friends with my brother and that Malfoy boy and I'm jealous Rosie!"
Rose was shocked this was Adam Taylor, and he sounded almost insecure! She didn't know what to say so she just stood looking at him in silence until he crossed over to her in one stride and planted his lips on top of hers, first she stiffened not knowing what to think but then she softened and melted into him wrapping her arms around his neck. He pulled away all to suddenly with a goofy smile on his face,
"Well that's the dishes done" he said with a wink and she had a feeling that his sentence had a double meaning, and with that he walked out of the kitchen with her trailing along behind him feeling slightly confused but she decided quickly that she had to go owl Erika and tell her so she went up to her room and wrote the letter
Erika,
Happy Christmas! I hope you like all the chocolate I bought you and I see great minds think a like that you got me chocolate as well! Thank you so much, Well I have news! I'm spending the Christmas at the Potters because my Mum and Dad are away (please don't ask about James) and Dan Taylor is here for the two weeks as well. Adam Taylor was here today for Christmas dinner and I think he is staying tonight as well. We were doing dishes in the kitchen (Just me and Adam) and he had an emotional outburst where he told me that he really likes me and THEN he kissed me! He actually kissed me! I don't know what to think I suppose I enjoyed It? UGGGH boys! So write back soon.
Happy Christmas Again
Love
Rosie
Rose signed off the letter and attached it to her owl, Hermes leg. Then she went downstairs to see what the boys were doing for the night, she walked into James' room to find them all sitting on the floor around a...OH NO! They were playing truth or dare! No way was she getting involved in this, she tried to slip back about quickly but she was caught by James
"Oh Rosie good you're here you can play as well" he said with a grin
"Oh no thanks I think I'll just go to bed" she said lightly
They all started making chicken noises until she sat down with a sigh
"I am not a chicken! Fine, fine I'll play your stupid game"
She sat down and James spun the bottle It landed on Albus
"Truth or Dare" grinned James
"Truth"
"Who do you fancy?"
Albus looked at the ground for a minute before muttering "Angeline Hayes"
"The one from my dormitory?" asked Rose shocked
"Yes" muttered Al
"Yeah she's nice" said James and the other boys nodded in argreement
Albus spun the bottle this time and It landed on Rosie
"Truth or Dare?"
Rosie debated the possibilities before saying
"Truth"
"Have you ever kissed anyone?" asked Al
Oh no! She couldn't tell them, especially not with Dan here, She was sure Adam wouldn't rat her out, she'd have to break the rules..
"No" she said quietly
Adam coughed sounding remarkably like "Liar" everyone turned around to look at him and Rosie gave him a pleading look but he kept going and coughed "Liar" again, this time people couldn't ignore it and James asked
"What are you saying Adam?"
"I'm saying little Rosie here is a liar because I know for a fact that she has kissed someone" he said smugly
"And how would you know that" Dan asked with a scoff
"Because it was me" Adam answered simply with a grin
"WHAT?" three male voices chorused
"Um yeah well kinda" Rosie stumbled
Dan looked so disappointed that it really hurt Rose and James and Al were giving Adam daggers so Rose tried to diffuse the tension by saying
"My turn to spin the bottle"
They all turned to look at her as if they were surprised she was still there. She spun the bottle and it landed on Dan,
"Truth or Dare?"
"Dare"
"Oh, I'm not very good at this Al do you want to pick?" asked Rose
Al smiled mischievously knowing his friend would hate him for this now but would thank him in the long run
"Dan I dare you to kiss Rosie"
They all looked shocked not least Rosie, she sat there shaking her head but before she could object Dan had leaned over and kissed her on the lips it wasn't as long as her kiss with Adam but it wasn't short either it was kind of lingering. When he pulled away flushed Rose announced she was going to bed and all the boys followed suit but as she was going to her bedroom someone caught her hand, it was Dan,
"Rosie, will you um ..well, will you got out with me?"
Rosie was shocked, well this was quite a night she thought to herself,
"Em well yes I suppose" she said immediately taking pity on him
Dan smiled a proper smile and leaned in and kissed her goodnight before heading off towards his room.
Rose felt slightly guilty that one of the reason she said yes was the she felt sorry for him but she tried to tell herself that it was also because he was nice and kind and caring and friendly and rather handsome. As she lay down to go asleep she heard loud pecking on the window and went over to find two owls outside Hermes and a beautiful eagle..SCORPIUS! she scrambled to get to the eagle owl first, she ripped open the envelope to find a letter written in Scorpius' beautiful cursive writing,
Rose,
I miss you so much! Hogwarts isn't the same without you here to talk to and roam the grounds with. I have Marco of course but I do miss you a ridiculous amount even though it's only been a week and there is another week to go! I hope you haven't been getting up to trouble in the Potters (Oh I sound like your mother I'm sure) tell James I said hello and merry Christmas, I hope you like the book I got you I know potions is your best class so I thought you might enjoy it. Thanks so much for the Sneakoscope, there really hard to get nowadays! The problem is I have it set up on the table beside me in the Slytherin common room and it keeps going off! I didn't think Slytherins were that bad! Write back soon please I want to hear everything that's going on! Good night and Merry Christmas,
Scorpius
She chuckled at his description of the sneakoscope she had got him and smiled at how he knew exactly what to get her for Christmas, she penned a reply quickly
Scorpius,
I miss you terribly too, Oh Christmas at the Potters is interesting enough, I kissed Adam Taylor Scorpius! And I'm kind of going out with Dan Taylor now! I have so much to tell you! Thank you so much for the book it's exactly what I wanted you know me so well. Take it off the table then you git! It's for your beside locker! Of course Don't I always write back as soon as I can! Goodnight and Happy Christmas Scorpius,
Rose.
Then she quickly went over and read Erika's letter which was basically a lot of fluff about James and freaking out over Adam. She wrote her a reply before going to read Scorpius' letter again before bed, Suddenly Rose noticed something on the fourth line that she hadn't previously noticed..
"JAMES POTTER!" the bedroom door slammed open and four tired looking boys popped their heads up to see Rose Weasley standing in the doorway holding a piece of parchment
