Chapter Two

Students were rushing around the hallways. Everyone was trying to find their way to the Great Hall without running into each other and stepping on each other's feet. Scorpius and Albus were standing on one of the hallway benches by the entrance observing the whole scene with big smiles on their faces. It was good to be back.

"So Quidditch tryouts huh?" Albus asked Scorpius with crossed arms, and Scorpius nodded. "Yup, been practising even more this summer, and this time I had help from Jenny who is a chaser for Ravenclaw." He smiled. "I've become an excellent keeper."

Albus shook his head. Up until their 4th year they had not given a shit about Quidditch, but at the end of that year after all the crazy things with Delphini had happened, Scorpius had suddenly been determined to play Quidditch. At first Albus had thought it was because of Rose, but now he wasn't so sure anymore.

"Whatever dude, I hope you get it." Scorpius grinned and gave Albus a friendly clap on the shoulder. His grin, however, quickly turned into a frown, and Albus followed his gaze to a certain redhead.

"Hi boys." She said with a grin and Albus reached down to give her a hug. "Hey Rose, what's up!" Rose looked at Scorpius who was looking over her head.

"Hey Scorpius," she smiled at him, and he gave her a quick glance. "Weasley," he muttered and turned his gaze away from her and out to the hall.

Rose frowned and looked at Albus who just shrugged with a puzzled look on his face. "Well…" she said quietly. "See you Al…" she looked at Scorpius one last time, "Malfoy." With that she turned on her heel and walked towards the Great Hall.

"Dude, what the heck was that?" Scorpius shrugged his shoulders. "What was what?" Albus rolled his eyes. "Just because you're over your stupid crush", Albus held his fingers in citation, "doesn't mean you can treat her like that!"

Scorpius shrugged again. "I don't see the problem, it's not like we're friends or anything." Albus sighed and threw his hands up in the air. "Seriously? You're gonna be like that from now on?"

"I just don't see the point in trying harder when it doesn't matter anymore." Scorpius jumped down from the bench. "Are you coming?"

Albus shook his head, after all this time, he had never thought Scorpius would act like such a jerk. It was almost like their personalities had switched over summer. Scorpius was always such a sweet and kind person, even when Albus had treated him like shit. But now… something was not as it used to be.

"Whatever dude." He jumped down and followed Scorpius into the Great Hall and over to the Slytherin table.

Rose pushed at a potato with her fork. What the hell had that been? She had never seen Scorpius act like that towards her. He'd always been extremely friendly, if not a bit too friendly in the beginning. She was pretty sure he had been crushing on her ever since they first met. But it was like all of that was gone.

He had called her Weasley, and not in a nice way. No, in the exact way that Mr. Malfoy called her father Weasley. It had hurt her. She wasn't exactly sure why it had hurt her that much though. She hadn't really been entirely nice to the boy during the past four years. Mainly because her father had emphasized that it was very important that she'd excel and beat Scorpius at basically everything and not befriend him. But other than being Draco Malfoy's son, he had actually never given her a reason to hate him. Not until today.

It had probably not helped that she had returned the gesture and called him by his last name in a spiteful way as she had left the two in the hallway, but she had been taken by surprise and had actually been quite offended by it.

"Hey you okay?" Lily asked with a frown and Rose snapped out of her thoughts and turned to her cousin with a forced smile. "Yeah I'm fine, just tired." She lied, and as Lily turned back to her conversation with her brother, Rose took a glance behind her towards the Slytherin table.

She spotted Scorpius immediately with his blonde hair. He was engaged in conversation with Albus, Michael Kershaw, Florence Goyle and Violet Zabini. She'd never really liked Florence, and Michael had never exactly bothered her, but she had never befriended him either, they were Slytherins after all. However she had become acquaintances with Violet Zabini. Violet and her had both been picked as chasers on their Quidditch teams their 2nd year and had soon bonded over that.

Hermione had once said that if Lucius Malfoy had his way Scorpius would marry Violet after they graduated from Hogwarts. Something about keeping their bloodlines pure. Before, Rose had never believed what her mother had said, and always thought that Scorpius would fight the whole 'pureblood' thing until his dying breath. But now, she didn't see why that wasn't going to happen. For some unknown reason that made her stomach turn and a sudden dislike towards Violet erupted.

"Excuse me…" Rose got up.

"Where are you going?" Hugo looked at her confused. "They haven't even sorted the new students yet."

Rose looked at her brother "I think I ate too fast… my stomach hurts." She grabbed her stomach, which did in fact hurt, but not from eating. "I think I'm gonna go lie down." She got up and hurried out of the Great Hall, but not before she heard James mumble confused: "Ate too fast? She hasn't even touched her food."

As she reached the hallway she wasn't sure what to do. Rose had been selected as a prefect, much to her parents' joy, which meant she and Jordan Hewitt, the fifth year Gryffindor who had been selected prefect along with her, had to show the first years to the Gryffindor common room and their dormitories.

In the end she decided to just go outside and sit down on a bench to gather herself. There was absolutely no need for her to react the way she did, sure her hormones had gone wacko over the summer, hence the annoying train ride with her dear cousins, but she should be used to that, puberty had hit years ago. "Ugh…" She almost tugged at her red curls to let her mind settle down. This was too much to handle, what she'd give for a smuggled bottle of Fire Whiskey right now.

Rose gazed upon the stars, the sky was partly cloudy, it was cool but you could definitely still feel the late summer heat lingering in the air. Right now she wished she was sitting under the big tree in her grandparents garden with a good book listening to her crazy family running around her. No pressure and total relaxation. Most importantly, no boys she wasn't related to. And that was probably what had changed mostly; her sudden interest in boys. Prior to this summer she had never looked twice at a boy, and now when someone like Scorpius was rude to her she felt like crying.

It was ridiculous and she knew it, her parents would be so disappointed in her. She was Rose Granger- Weasley for crying out loud. She had done a great job at staying away from boys and being the smartest in her year, but now… now it could all come crashing down because she suddenly cared about what people thought of her.

Rose looked down at her Muggle-wristwatch that her mom had given her for her tenth birthday, and saw that she needed to head back inside. As she reached the hall she saw Lucy and Fred. Lucy was also a Gryffindor prefect, and since her sister had been elected Headgirl this year, the family had big hopes for Lucy the upcoming year. The Weasley's had been very surprised when Fred had been chosen as a prefect his fifth year, but he was really good at it.

"Hey guys," Rose forced a smile at her cousins. "Hey Rose," Lucy smiled back, "are you feeling better?"

She nodded and averted Fred's intense stare at her when she didn't actually reply. Instead she took in the crowd, she didn't recognize all the prefects. But there was Franklin Longbottom, fifth year prefect from Hufflepuff, there was Jenny Nott, fifth year prefect from Ravenclaw, there was Violet Zabini from Slytherin obviously, and… Rose's eyes stopped on a slender figure standing between Jenny and Violet. So Scorpius was the male prefect from Slytherin this year. That was just great.

"Hey Weasley, what's up?" Jordan Hewitt walked up next to her. "Hey Hewitt." A genuine smile crossed her lips as she hugged the tall guy. His blue eyes twinkled at her and he laid his arm around her shoulder. "Why the frown, pretty girl?"

Rose chuckled slightly at him. Jordan was one of her favorite people at Hogwarts who wasn't related to her. He was always there when she wanted someone to talk to and he always had good advice, a shoulder to cry on or just something to make her smile. Also, she'd never have to worry about him now that she suddenly cared about guys, as she was clearly not his type.

"I didn't know Malfoy was picked as prefect." She said, trying to put as much loath into the name. Jordan raised an eyebrow at her. "Yeah, Scorpius was picked along with Violet…" Rose looked away.

"Rose, what's going on?" He never used her real name unless he was really serious. She looked away and down at her feet. Should she tell him? He'd probably think she was crazy. Or maybe he would actually give her great advice on how to deal with this insanity.

She was about to start telling him, when someone cleared his throat. Both Rose and Jordan looked up to see Seth Wood and Molly Weasley stand on the stairs in front of them. Rose smiled at her older cousin who looked very professional standing with her Headgirl batch and hands crossed in front of her.

"Good evening prefects!" Seth said with enthusiasm. "Welcome back to the sixth and seventh year prefects, and welcome to our new fifth year prefects!" All the prefects clapped at him. "We apologise for having the meeting this late and not on the train ride here. We appreciate your understanding and patience." Seth smiled and continued. "Now, fifth years, the first year students will soon come out and it is your job to make sure they all get to their dormitories without any trouble." Seth looked over all the fifth year prefects. "Make sure to let them know where they sleep, the rules of the dormitories and common rooms and of course curfew rules."

Molly uncrossed her hands and started speaking. "As for the sixth and seventh year prefects. Tonight you will be doing rounds. You know the rules, anyone out after curfew gets sent right to their dormitories and points get taken away, if they refuse they can receive detention as punishment as well." Some of the boys started whistling and grinning. "However!" Everyone quieted down. "You can only take points away from students from your own house and you cannot take points away from each other nor give each other detention." Molly looked at them all with a look that made Rose cringe. Right then and there, Molly looked incredibly a lot like their grandmother Molly senior.

"Damn she looks like grandma when she does that," Fred mumbled to Rose and Lucy. "Oh be quiet," Dominique Weasley said with a slight grin. She was the 7th year prefect for Ravenclaw. "You know it's true, and it's scary! Not only is she in charge of all of us, but we're related to her." Rose muffled a laugh at the look of Fred's face.

"I mean, I don't think I have ever seen your grandma mad," Jordan chimed in, "but I can definitely imagine it now." They all laughed at that, and felt Molly's eyes on them immediately. "Sorry," it came from all of them, including Jordan.

"Now off you go everyone, have a great evening, and we'll see you all at the meeting in a couple of days." Seth clapped his hands together and people started to scatter. Rose was about to tell Jordan about her dilemma with Scorpius, when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Rose," she turned at her name and met a pair of green eyes, "right?" It was Seth. His figure was towering her and she had to tilt her head to keep eye contact. "Yes." She said with a short breath. He ran a hand through his blonde hair and smiled down at her, all thoughts of Scorpius Malfoy suddenly gone. "Good," he said. "I was afraid I had it wrong, lots of you Weasley girls look alike." He laughed and she grinned. It was true. "You got it right." Oh my Merlin, Seth Wood was talking to her. To her. She was just a fifth year, a chaser, he was a seventh year, the headboy, chaser and captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. And according to all the girls in her dorm, he was eye candy. Not that she had ever disagreed, but she hadn't ever thought about it.

But now that she did, she couldn't not look at him. He was gorgeous. And he was talking to her. "So, are you ready for this year? All the new responsibilities, the OWLs?" He leaned against the wall they were standing at, and Rose was unconsciously aware of her fingers twirling her red curls. "Well, I got it all figured out." She smiled at him and continued twirling her fingers.

"Oh right," he pretended to smack his head hard, "I forgot I was talking to the daughter of Hermione Granger," her eyes fell to the ground but he lifted her chin with his finger. "I don't mean that in a bad way you know," he winked at her and she giggled. "So I'll see you around?" Rose nodded, and with another wink Seth left her side.

"What was that?!" Jordan returned to her side. Rose was nearly jumping up and down. "Seth Wood talked to me! And he knew my name! Oh my God, oh my God!" Rose and Jordan jumped up and down together. It made more sense saying God when being around Jordan since he was Muggleborn. "Talking to you? He was flirting with you!" Their excitement ended when the doors to the Great Hall opened and the first years came running out. "Well, duty calls."
