Disclaimer: I do not own anything. I am not J.K. Rowling. If I was I would not be posting here, but instead spending my millions of dollars on something stupid.

S/N: Little tidbits, I thought you should know. I picture at every house has about 16 students per year. Half boys, half girls. That would give the classes 32 students. Unrealistic that it would work out evenly but works for my story. Rose and Jordie are in Gryffindor, Al and Scorpius are in Slytherin. They are all in sixth year.

A/N: Hey, I am back. Now, you may have noticed, if you have started reading this fic, that chapters are missing. This is true. I had originally planed writing a story about four friends who Meet in their first year and slowly drift apart just re-find each other in their seventh year. I still think that is a good idea but I was getting serious writers block with that story. I tried jumping a head to see f I could write later chapters but it turned into this. A story close to the original but taking a life of its own.

I decided to post it under the name of this fic because the name seems to be more fitting for this one than the other. I may post the old fic again when inspiration hits under the name Friends For Always, but I am not certain.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy.

Dedication: I dedicate this fic to one of my best friends Jordie and her girls. Though, Rose and her Jordie are a bit tame for the shenanigans we got up to, it's nice having you back in some form. You will always be missed. RIP Jordie 1988-2009

P.S.: I couldn't resist giving this Jordie, the last name Iero!

Chapter 1: Muggle Studies.

"Wake the fuck up!" I pulled at the feet of my best friend trying in vain to wake her. She let out a groan that sounded a lot like "Fuck off, Rose." She really has a way with words. I pulled harder and she covered her whole self even more under the blankets. I wasn't having any of that, I tugged at the sheets with all my strength, almost stumbling backwards and falling. "Jorden Ashley Iero get your happy arse out of bed or so help me..." I pulled harder, "I am not missing another breakfast." She groaned again rolling over, trying to hide from me. "Jordie, if you are late one more time, Professor Windsor will have your neck." Again, another groan. I starting to think that she has lost all ability to speak at this point. "Fine, you have forced my wand. Aguamenti" A stream of ice cold water spilled from the tip of my wand and straight onto Jordie's face.

A horribly loud screech came from her, "You fucking bitch!" She jumped out of bed and charged at me. Her hot pink hair whirling around her in a mess.

"I did warn you." I smiled at her, jumping out of her way. She went for her wand but I was too fast, I yelled "Expelliarmus" Her wand flew her hand straight into my own. I wasn't the top witch in our class for nothing.

She plastered a wicked smile on her face, "Oooh, I am so going to get you back." She turned on her heels towards our dorm bathroom.

"Just hurry!" I yelled after her. She just flipped me the bird without a word.


We make it down to breakfast just in time to grab a piece of toast. Being late for breakfast was not a new thing by any means. I have learned to survive on the piece of toast because being late for class was simply out of the cards. We quickly made our way down to the dungeons, on the way we run into Al, my favorite cousin and other best friend. "Late again girls?"

I sighed, "Well we would have made it earlier but somebody, didn't want to wake up this morning."

Jordie gave us an innocent smile, "I don't have any idea what you are talking about, Weasley." I stuck my tongue out at her.

Albus noticing our exchange, changed the subject. "So where are you two headed" Jordie looked over at me, probably not even knowing herself what class we had today. Honestly, I don't know what the girl would do without me.

"Double Muggle Studies." I responded. It has become a mandatory class since the war. It's to help us gather a better understanding and appreciation for them. Easy A for the Muggleborns.

"And what about you, Mister?" Jordie asked she fluttered her bright blue eyes at Al.

Albus looked oddly surprised by the question, "Me?" He put his hand on his chest. "I was just waiting for some hot bird to accompany me to class."

"Oh really?" Jordie narrowed her eyes at him. It was clear to everyone in the school in the school that she was quite taken with him, well obvious to everyone but herself.

"Yeah," he grinned wide. "But if you two don't have anything better to do I s'pose you can do." He threw his arm around Jordie and started walk.

Jordie however didn't move a muscle, "Excuse me, Albus Potter? I will just have to do?" Jordie looked livid. She was considered one of the best looking girls at our school. What else would you expect having Veela blood and being Metamorphmagus. I was often rather jealous of her ability. I was stuck with bright red hair that screams 'Weasley' and she could change hers at the drop of a hat. She more preferred having pink bubble gum pink hair with rosie cheeks to match. It was her favorite color after all and looked amazing on her flawless porcelain pale skin. The only feature she had not changed pink were her bright blue eyes. They were the same color as a tropical ocean. I too had blue eyes but not like hers. Boys around this school would do anything, unforgivable things just to have a chance with her. She knew this and was quite proud of this. She held herself high and expected to be treated above the rest. Status was a big thing in her family. If she felt she was not being treated with the right amount of respect you were written off. "I am nobody's second choice!" She then went to storm off but Albus caught her, spun her around. He took one look in her blue eyes and kissed her. She melted into him a bit, but quickly caught her thoughts. Al always was one to challenge her. He knew she was sought after but also knew that she loved him. No matter what in the end Jordie would always go back to him. He had the right last name, right looks and was the only one to stand up to her. She may not admit it but she wanted him. After releasing her lips from his, she gave him a good hearty slap on the face. "Don't you ever forget that I am your first choice." She turn on her heel and walked away with her head held high in the air displaying her almighy-ness.

"Merlin, I love her." Albus said to me. I smiled.

Jordie turned around giving Al a 'If looks could kill' glare, "I heard that." Al was never supposed to utter those words aloud. It was a rule of Jordie's not to get into any relationship. Relationships, in her opinion brought down a person and made them weak. To her it was better have a taste of everyone than to just stay with one flavor. This fact was expressed rather harshly to Al back in 4th year when he asked Jordie out for the first time. After countless times of rejection, Al pulled a new trick from the hat and professed his undying love for her in the middle of 5th year. This had Jordie fully shaken and she wasn't in classes for a week. At first she tried to ignore that he ever said anything but it proved to be to hard with him saying every chance he got. So she learned to accept it. She told him it was unacquainted love and it was useless. Though she was visibly shaken every time he said it.

We continued our walk towards the dungeons and all the while I was discreetly looking around for a certain attractive wizard, who just happened to be best friends with Al and cousin to my best friend Jordie. Yes I was surrounded by him and yet could barely string a sentence together in his presents. It was a wonder no one had noticed my liking to him. We made it outside of the classroom but he was no where in sight.

Once in the classroom I still hadn't seen him, but I couldn't just ask Al because that would just be too obvious and then I would have to suffer from the relentless teasing from Jordie. So I sat in my seat next to Jordie and waited. I kept my eyes at the door getting little butterflies every time I heard foot steps coming toward the classroom. Is it him? The door opens. Please be him. Justin Jayhawk walked in. Damn. A couple more students come through but none were him, much to my chagrin. I was disrupted from my thoughts from the loud bell, that rang through the classroom signaling the start of class. My heart sank, he was late. The door opened again, Please of please let it be him. My heart felt as if it was going to pump out of my chest. Let this be Scorpius Fucking Malfoy. I looked out hopeful and god smiled down on me. In walked the single most attractive person to walk the planet, Scorpius Malfoy. It almost seemed as if he was walking in slow motion and bright light was standing behind him.

Now, I know what you are thinking, Rose Weasley, the daughter of Ron Weasley (WAR HERO) has found herself in love with Scorpius Malfoy, the son of Draco Malfoy (Death Eater)? Yes, it's true and for many reasons. One being that he is not the person you expect him to be. He is nothing like the stories I had heard about his father. He is a kind person that cares for others. He even takes time to tutor and help the less fortunate. But even if he didn't you would still understand why I am so taken with him, if you ever saw the bloke. He has this blonde hair that shines in the sun like it's covered in pixie dust. His eyes are so uniquely his being this almost cat like silver that I have never seen before. Oh, and his body, Merlin, his body. Lets just say he is over six foot and the Quidditch has done beyond amazing things to his body. My body involuntarily shivers just thinking about it.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a hand on my chin. I looked down at the pink nailed hand and over at Jordie, "You were drooling, Rose." I quickly closed my mouth quickly, feeling the burn of embarrassment on my face. I hope he didn't notice me staring. I look down at the desk quickly but watch him still in the corner of my eyes. He slid into his seat next to Albus he pulled out his supplies for class and swept his hair from his eyes in an overly cool matter. Scorpius Malfoy was the best looking and most popular boy at Hogwarts. Even the seventh year girls are after him. He shared the title with Al but I just like to forget that.

I know in my head I don't have a chance in the world with Scorpius but my heart refuses to listen. Instead of being logical I much rather daydream about him. I lose myself in my own little world of Scorpius when my thoughts are rudely interrupted by Professor Windsor starting class.

"Today, class is a very exciting day. I am here to present you with you assignment for winter break. " Professor Windsor looked at the class with a gleam in his eyes, the class groaned in return. "Now, now, don't take that attitude. I think you all will enjoy this very much. We shall be doing a group project. Getting this together will be rather difficult. I need to know who will be staying over the holiday and who will be going home. Please stand if you are staying over break." Eight students stood up. "Good, good that leaves 24 of you, both divisible by 4. I need all of you to form groups of four,I would like a mixture of house and genders. The eight that are staying please come to my desk so I can explain the alternative assignment."

Students started rising for their seats making groups. The scraping for chairs must have woken Jordie so the nap she had fallen into. "What's going on Rose? Why is everyone moving about?"

I shook my head, "We have to do a group project over the summer. We need to break off in groups of four."

Jordie leaned over to Al and Scorpius table banging it hard. I startled the boys who had looked like they had fallen to a slumber as well, "Oi, we need to get into groups, you guys in?" Jordie asked them loudly.

"Wha? Yeah. We're in." The group of girls that gathered around the other side of the their table looked crestfallen. The boys relaxed again and started to fall back asleep.

"Oi, aren't you going to take notes on what the project even is?" I asked as Jordie to closed her eyes.

Scorpius made eye contact with me, my began to race, "Why do we need to take notes Rosie?" I think its going burst threw my chest, "You take the most detailed notes. You can explain the assignment later." He gave me a wink and closed his beautiful eyes. I just sat there with my mouth hanging open like an idiot. I think I am going to melt right down to the floor. Scorpius FUCKING Malfoy just complemented me. Me? And my amazing note taking skills. I could just die. I felt the Weasley red burn my cheeks.

I don't know how long I stayed like that but when Professor Windsor began speaking again, tried to write the best notes with pen and paper ever! "Has, everyone found a group? Raise your hand if you have not." He asked. No one raised their hand. "Yes? Good. Now on to the fun stuff. For the next weeks we will be running an experiment of letting you lot behave as normal Muggle teenagers. All your parents have been informed and have agreed to the assignment. You shall receive the tools of a Muggles in the coming weeks. Professor Mcgonagol has placed some enchantments and run electricity so you can use them around the castle before winter break. So we need to get a good understanding of how they all work and how to use them before hand. You each will be receiving one cellular phone, one laptop computer, one small wallet of Muggle Notes and debt cards, in other words money, and each group will receive one television set if the group does not have a member that already owns one."

The class all seemed very excited at the prospect of getting new toys. Even the rest of my group seemed to wake. "Yes, this all very exciting. But there are rules. Rule number one, you all must take extremely good care of all that is lent you to. All items must be returned in the way they were received. Absolutely no tamping with magic. Rule number two, you must follow each and every direction on how to use the devices. Rule number three, no other than the person assigned to the device may use the device, we will know if you let your friends use it. Rule number four, you may not used any of the items during classes or during meal time. Rule five your grades in other classes must be maintained. If any of the rules are broken even once, all privileges and extracurricular will be taken away, your house will loose 100 house points, the items will be taken away, you will be dropped for your group, and you will receive a zero for the entire project." Fear was struck through the whole class. A lot seemed to be riding on this project. "This project will be ¾ of this semesters final mark and a portion of your MEEE (Magical Education Exit Exam) Please take this seriously." If fear was struck before it was nothing to the bomb he had just dropped. The MEEE was the most important test you take a Hogwarts student. It was the test that could make or break your future in the post-war Wizarding World. It determined what jobs you were eligible to take and if you you could go on being a witch or wizard. It judge you on knowledge, understanding, and the ability to function in society. This was not any class project, this could decide our future. I was starting to get very nervous.

"Are there any questions regarding the rules?" No one raised their hand. "Good, now that you all have a firm grasp of the rules. I would like you all to sign your name on the paper." He lifted a stack of white paper to the class. He looked at a student in the front row, "Martha will you hand these out?" Martha Mavs agreed and got up to hand the papers. Most teachers would have magicked them to us but in Muggle Studies wands were not allowed, everything had to be done the Muggle way.

"These students are contracts, they are legal binding papers that say you agree to the terms. Saying you will do your if the other party does theirs, or a penalty awaits you. Please read the document carefully and sign your name on the line with an X. This must be done in order to receive your devices." The class all took time reading over the rules he had explained only moments ago and signing their name. Once everyone has signed can you Mister Fitzpatrick, pick up the contracts?" A student in the nodded his head. "Now while Sean goes around picking up the contracts let's get started learning about our first item, The Cellular Phone." The classes was paying close attention. "Over the years the Cellular Phone has become more and more advanced. It more advanced now then the land line phones we learned about last month..."

The rest of class went by with Professor Windsor explaining all the ins and outs of the cell phone. I wrote so many notes I needed use a new notebook. "Wow, this is certainly going to be project, huh?" Al said rubbing his green eyes from behind his glasses.

Jordie, shrugged, "We don't even know what the project is. All we know is we have to use Muggle devices and pretend to be Muggles."

"I don't know, it sounds easy enough. What do you think Rosie?"Scorpius said looking at me. I could feel the Weasley red burning again.

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out, I just kept staring at the perfect specimen in front of me. I couldn't believe he was actually talking to me. I was just drinking him in when a snapping noise caught my attention. I blinked a few times before I noticed Scorpius snapping in front of my face, "Sorry, I must have been daydreaming, what did you ask me?" I tried to discreetly check for more drool.

I heard Jordie giggle, "He asked you what you think about the project."

I looked back at Scorpius, "I think," All my thoughts were wiped from my head when I looked at him. "I think.."

"Yes," Jordie coached.

I looked away from his and back at her, "I think the project is going to be splendid."

A/N: Yay! I finished the first chapter! I hope you enjoyed it. I writing this as I finished the first chapter but I will not be posting until I have 5 chapters already written out. I for the most part know where this story is headed. I just want to be able to be a head so I can post more frequently for all you. I don't want you all have to wait months for a new chapter because I hate having to wait when I am reading. But I will be honest. Currently I have a 2 yr old son, and am completely busy with him. So I can not always be the most reliable on fast updates but I promise to try my damnest. Again, I hope you all enjoyed my first chapter. Please leave a review letting me know whatcha think.
