Chapter 3
Rose sat next to her best friends since her first year. Samantha Finnigan who was the eldest daughter of Seamus and Pavarti Finnigan. As well as a muggle born by the name of Ashley Heywood. These two had been next to Rose since the first day of their first year. Rose had been beaming, Samantha ticked not to be in Gryffindor, and Ashley completely bewildered to everything around her.
With all three of them being seventh years things were going quite nicely. While the Great Hall quieted down as Headmistress McGonagall stood up in-front of the same podium that the great Albus Dumbledore once had stood she motioned for the new first years to arrive in.
The sorting hat did a most wonderful rhyme this year and the sorting began "Peter Ardwin" was up first and he was sorted into Gryffindor. After that 6 more went to Gryffindor, Ravenclaw got 4, Hufflepuff 2, and Slytherin 6 ending with Marcus Zabini. Headmistress McGonagall stood up again and looked around at all the faces.
"I have a few announcements for all the students. Like always the Forbidden Forest is off limits for all students, rules are to be followed, and pouts will be given and taken as the teachers, Heads, and prefects seems fit." with that a smile spread on her lips but she said no more and food appeared on the long tables like always, chatter amongst the students instantly began.
Rose chose her favorites from the variety of foods. She couldn't help but take a glance at the Slytherin table and saw Scorpious looking at her with a smirk on his face. Se hastily looked away flustered before Sam elbowed her in the side.
"If it just me or is Malfoy staring at you?" she whispered so only Rose and Ashley could here.
"Oh girl! I think he is!" Ashley crooned in her ear
"Stop guys! I highly doubt it's me he's looking at. He's probably looking for his next Shag victim!" she said as she began to stuff her mouth with food so she could avoid the topic further.
Dinner was soon replaced with Dessert which Rose had too much of to keep her mind, and eyes away from peeling at Scorpious. What was wrong with her! She was supposed to lithe this guy and his family! From what her father said Scorpious' father was a right prick, but then again her father said a lot of people were pricks. Rose sighed as dessert was finished. Great she was to be announced soon. Rose groaned and neither of her friends understood why.
As McGonagall rose for the last time that evening she smiled and nodded once to Rose and then to Scorpious "Students, after much thought and debate with the staff here at Hogwarts I would like to announce our new Head Girl and Boy for this year," she paused here to let the chatter amongst the students die down "I would like to say that these choices are based on work, grades, ethics, and leadership. So without further ado I would like to announce our new Head Girl; Rose Weasley!"
Claps and wolf whistles followed Rose as she slowly stood up and walked to stand next to McGonagall just as her letter had specified, a small hesitant smile was on her lips as she looked around for her family.
"And this year's Head Boy is; Scorpious Malfoy" the room was almost dead, Rose had taken it that Scorpious hadn't taken and notices in really telling anyone. A few gave her a pat on the back as he walked down the Slytherin table but other than that the room seemed to be thinking the same as most 'A Malfoy and a Weasley?'
"Are you insane!" Albus Potter stood up from the Slytherin table and shouted "You're putting a Malfoy and a Weasley together!" the room seemed to murmur the same thoughts as everyone's eyes were trained on the three that stood by the podium.
"I am well aware of my decision Mr. Potter now if you please sit down everything will be explained in time." she said with a smile. "Now prefects please show the first years the way to the commons and all others look for schedules in the morning! Now off to bed!" she dismissed everyone and looked to the two Heads. "Luck" she said and walked off leaving the two standing alone in the Great Hall as everyone else was filing out.
