Special thanks to

Owl of Athens for making this a favorite and reviewing. And also to sanoi5536 for making this a favorite.

Well…Thanks a ton Albus. Don't know what I'd do without you. Seeing how you just had to leave me alone with...Scorpius. Well done cousin. You just. Made. My. Day.

I could just ignore him...but that would be rude. At least my mother told me so. And most of the time she's right. My father on the other hand...Well lets just say manners never crossed his mind. Just see the way he eats. My mother told me once that if he ever stopped eating the world might end, and I have to say I agree with that statement. My mum and I are quite close, actually. I talk to her a lot of the time, when it's something that I can't talk to Albus about, that is.

I looked up and noticed that Scorpius was also trying very hard to not make eye contact with me. That doesn't mean that he stopped looking at me in general though. I coughed slightly louder than normal, and he looked up.

"Well...umm. Hey." He looked at me like I was crazy. Which, of course I am. But he's no better.

"Hello Weasley." He said, a bit too formally for my liking.

"I thought we'd been through this before. There are too many Weasleys for you to be able to call me Weasley." I said, trying to relieve the tension in the air.

"Yes we did," He said cracking a tiny smile that he tried to cover up, "but as I recall, I believe I won that argument."

I glared at him, "You wish Scorpius, you wish."

"Ah, but look, why else would you get so defensive? You forget, we may not be friends, but I do know how you work."

Is it just me, or does anyone else find this a little creepy? "That's wrong. Just plain wrong." I took a look at the clock. "And as much as I would LOVE to continue this conversation, I have places to be."

"Whatever. Weasley" he said, putting an emphasis on my last name.

Oh how I could strangle this child.

I really think that being as smart as I am I should have been able to realize the Al just might have purposely left us alone, but I'm a tad to trusting, people tell me, and that might be a little true. Oh well...

I was standing outside of the Slytherin Common Room entrance waiting for someone to pass by so that I could get in and talk to Albus. I wasn't expecting Scorpius, I can promise you that much.

"He's not in there, if you're wondering, Weasley." He said, not bothering to look at me.

"Well then where is he?" I asked, quite annoyed now, considering that I'd been waiting here for almost half an hour. What a waste of time.

"Out with some girl in Gryffindor. I dunno who it is."

"Thanks. That helps a ton." I said sarcastically and turned around to go back to my Common Room.

As I was walking back my thoughts were revolving around a certain blond haired Slytherin, and I was cursing myself for it. But honestly, I'd just seen him, what else was I going to be thinking about? I had been wondering about how him and Al had even became friends. After our parents told us to stay away from eachother, the first thing he does is go and find him on the Hogwarts Express. That boy really needs to learn about obeying his parents. Then again, reverse psychology works wonders if that's what they were aiming for. I had always wondered why my dad wanted us to be enemies. I mean yes, Scorpious' dad and my parents never got along to well. But how bad had it really been?

I do have to say when I first met him, he had intrigued me. What with how he always remained held back, and never drew attention to himself. But when I had said something all he said was "Shove off Weasley." saying my last name as if it was the filthiest thing he'd ever come across. After that I'd had my opinion of the boy and had never bothered to change it. On the other hand, when Al have first introduced himself "Hello, my name is Albus." All Scorpious said was "Scorpius" and somehow they'd managed a rather stable friendship.

I realized I'd made it to the portrait of The Fat Lady. I said the password "Flobberworms" and made my way inside. I saw Lily sitting near the fireplace and went to take a seat by her.

"Hey Lily." I smiled at her.

"Hey Rosie!" She said after lifting her head up from her charms textbook.

"Doing homework, I see?"

"Mhmm. Professor Merriworth assigned us 2 chapters tonight. It's extremely boring. I almost didn't do it." She looked at me as if it was the hardest thing she could ever possibly do. Then again, for Lily, it may be. Then I remembered something. Elliot Longbottom.

"Lily...would you like to tell me something that's happening between you and someone named Elliot Longbottom?"

She blushed and tried to avoid eye contact. "It was nothing Rosie, I swear." I raised my eyebrow. "Well... We were just kissing, it wasn't anything terrible."

"Lily, he's two years older than you are. TWO."

"So what? You know my dad has no problems with the Longbottoms." She said, becoming defensive.

"He might, now." I mumbled, more to myself, and said "Whatever Lily, 'night." And then I walked to my dormitory.

That girl has no idea what she's doing, does she?

Not that I can say much.

The next morning I had no will power to get out of bed, except that instead of classes I would be going to Hogsmeade, which was obviously much more fun. But I was still groaning as I made my way out of bed and to the Entrance of Hogwarts with Caitlyn. Later in the day, she would go with Fred but we decided that we would go to Hogsmeade together for at least a little bit.

We walked to the Village and made our way into the Three Broomsticks to order each of themselves a butterbeer. When we got our drinks we discussing my cousin, Fred.

"He's so nice Rose, I really like him." She said with a smile.

"Well its a good thing you're going out with him then, right?" I laughed a little and so did she.

"Yes, I s'pose so." She took a sip of her butterbeer. "And who do you have your eye on?"

I sputtered" M-me? Nobody."

"Yes you. And I know you do. How 'bout Malfoy? You seem to talk to him an awful lot?"

"It's Scorpious, and no. He's Al's bestfriend, anyway."

"Scorpious, eh?"

"He just doesn't like being called Malfoy," I said "And stop giving me that look!"

She looked out the window, "Well, there's Fred. You'd better tell me if you do Rose. Anyway, see you later."

I walked outside and looked around. The street was crowded and I tried to make my way to Zonko's. But before I could, I slipped and landed in a pile of mud. "Dang it." I mumbled.

"Oh, Hello Weasley. Fancy seeing you here."

Oh great, just my luck.
