SCORPIUS

Heading along? Don't have all day? I mean what sort of idiot am I? It's not my fault; it's just that she's changed a lot over the summer. She looks a lot older now. Her hair's all red and shiny and she has really pretty eyes. No no concentrate Malfoy. She's a Potter. Dad'll be super happy won't he, if you bring home a Potter. Bring home? What? I've barely talked to her. I'm being ridiculous. It's just that when she gets angry and has that super annoyed look in her eyes that kind of make them sparkle, well it's cute.

Well after our chat she flounced off toward the Gryffindor common room. And I started making my way to the dungeons. Oh that's what she was running from I saw her stupid little Weasley cousin snogging Nyx Nott. Ha well that's an interesting development. She couldn't have been too happy to see her perfect little cousin with Slytherin's resident princess. I chuckled as I saw his look of horror when I walked past them. 'Having fun Weasley?' I said. I saw Nyx blushing as she turned around.

'It's none of your business Malfoy.' She said snarkily.

'Oh considering I'm Head Boy and as far as I know neither of you should be here right now.' They glared at me a started heading toward their respective common rooms.

Feeling a little happy at having exerted my authority I smiled to myself. Until I remembered where I was supposed to be right now. Oh crap. I looked at my watch. I was supposed to be at Professor Fawcett's office five minutes ago. I ran all the way across the castle. I knocked on her door.

'Enter'

I slowly opened the door and walked in. 'Ahh Mr. Malfoy I see you decided to join us,' she said. 'Now that you have honoured us with your presence I would like to go over your duties for this year'

I have a pretty short attention span so my thoughts drifted away after a bit. I started thinking about Lily Potter's hair and eyes and smell.

'Mr. Malfoy.' Crap.

'Yes Professor?' I said acting like I had been listening the whole time. She just sighed.

'Miss Weasley, you may leave. I need to talk to Mr. Malfoy here.'

Oh great first day as Head Boy and I'm already a screw up. After she left Professor Fawcett started.

'Mr. Malfoy, many people were surprised when I suggested you as Head Boy, but I felt you had amazing potential, you just needed a chance. Now I know you aren't going to disappoint Headmistress Clearwater, or me and listen to Rose Weasley. She's smart and can help you. You may go now, goodnight.'

After I was dismissed, I went straight to the dungeons and up to my dormitory. Andrew Bole and Xerxes Flint had already settled in. I nodded at them and then took my clothes out of my trunk and went to the prefect's/head student's/Quidditch captain's bathroom. What was the password again? Oh yeah

'Pumpkin juice' I said to the door. It swung open.

'Fuck' it was Rose Weasley in a towel snogging that chubby boy. Oh what's his name, oh yeah Longbottom.

I heard a gasp as she saw me. 'Malfoy! Get out!' I did not need to be told twice. I quickly made my escape and went to shower in the other bathrooms. Ha I had interrupted two different Weasleys on the same night. Quite an achievement.

I sank down on a chair in the common room. The green glow cause by the fact the common room was under the lake comforted me. It made everything feel normal. It felt good to be home. Because let's face it, Hogwarts was my home. Not the Manor with its large unwelcoming rooms and the perfectly manicured lawns. Not to mention my haunted father and slightly hysterical mother. Hogwarts is my refuge it always was and will always be my home.

I was really glad that we patrol duty didn't start till tomorrow. Oh Christ, was I going to face Weasley tomorrow. That is going to be one awkward conversation. With that pleasant thought in mind I headed up to bed.
