Chapter 4

Luck, what the bloody hell was Luck supposed to mean. Rose was bewildered, the Head Mistress sent Scorpius and Rose to their common room without a password. They were going to have to stay in the halls till McGonagall realized her mistake and came to save the two bickering seventh years in the middle of the night. A large sigh came from Roses' lips as they continued to transverse through the lower halls.

"It's obvious Weasley, Luck is the password." a sarcastic drawl came from her left and she rolled her eyes she had forgotten that he was walking silently next to her.

"Thank you very much Malfoy" she said as she covered the last lengths to their four house portrait and she sighed closing her eyes for a second letting the frustrations roll from her "Luck" she said easily before opening her eyes and watched the portrait swung open before them letting them into the common room.

Rose was wonder struck by the site. It was a brilliant site as it had each color of the houses covering the room. Most of it was blue and bronze as well as green and silver. She noted how the colors went quite well together. A long black couch was placed behind a coffee table which was in front of a blazing fire place. On either side of the couch was two black armchairs. The colors made it cozy enough as Rose stared at the different designs in the rugs and sighed.

Malfoy grunted next to her, obviously not as appreciative of the site as Rose was. He sauntered his way towards the right of the fire and up a staircase, which must lead to his dorm room. Rose sighed and saw a staircase on the left of the fire which she quickly walked over to and climbed. Opening the only door at the top she gasped as she saw what lies before her.

The room was a made from dark wood flooring and the walls were covered in Ravenclaw banners and decorations. The four-poster queen bed sat on the opposite wall of the door with her trunk and owl cage, which was quite empty and she figured that Ruby had been released to the owlery, sitting at the end of her bed on the floor. The fire place directly across from her bed, would keep the room quite toasty during the chilling fall and winter months. She walked over and sat on the bed fingering the bedspread and sheets. They were a blue with the Ravenclaw House Crest and gold fringes around the edges of the comforter. A smile could not be wiped from her lips as she leaned back and loved the comfort of the bed. Hearing a knock she sat up "Enter" she spoke her voice seeming quite loud in the room.

From behind a door as it opened Scorpious' head popped out from behind "Huh, guess we have an adjoining door." he said nonchalantly as he took a quick glance around the room.

"You better not be getting any sick ideas Malfoy." she said her arms crossed over her chest and a sour pout on her face as she glared at him.

"Scorpious, just call me Scorpious if we're to work together we need to stop the childish nonsense." and with that he pulled to door closed behind him with a hard slam.

Rose was flabbergasted at his request, never in her life would she ever thing to call that Pureblood by his first name.

Seeing as she knew what two out of the three doors in her room where she stood up and headed towards the third one. It was a good deal away from the main door which was in the middle, and the adjoining door for the two Head rooms was on the far left, so this door on the far right lead to the bathroom.

It was set up in quite a fashion. She figured that the color of the tiles had been changed every year for the head girl, since last years had been a Hufflepuff and their color was yellow and not blue as the tiles were this year. A sink, toilet and large bath tub with a stand-up shower head as well was crammed into the spacious room and Rose smiled. Maybe this year wouldn't be as bad as it was turning out to be.

Turning back to her bed chambers she flicked her wand at the tub which turned on and began to run warm bath water and bubbles. She closed the wooden door and walked over to her trunk which she flicked her wand again and directed her clothes to the dresser where she put her school uniform and nicer clothes hung in the wardrobe and the 'muggle' clothes which were much more comfortable than the wizard robes that everyone wore all the time.

She grabbed some cotton shorts and a pastel green tee shirt as well as undergarments. She placed them on the counter and flicked her wand to turn the water off and placed it beside her clothes. She quickly stripped from Hogwarts uniform and placed her weary body into the soapy warm water. Easing away her aches she sighed and closed her eyes thinking over the long day.

When she finally stepped from the shower and dried her body and pulled on her clothes she towel dried her hair by flipping her head over and ran the towel around it getting a majority of the moisture from her thick red hair. She hung the towel on a hanger in the bathroom before she collected her wand and grabbed a rather large fictional book from home and took it down to the common room where she claimed a seat on the left side corner of the couch in front of the fireplace.

In the middle of a good paragraph his scent washed over her as he took the far end corner of the couch and she looked up from her book.

"What are you looking at?" he asked as he scowled and opened his own book.

She smiled to herself as she began to read her own book once more

"Now what are you smiling about?" he asked quickly

"Nothing, I'm glad your earlier moment is forgotten." she said without looking up from her book. She heard him mumble something to himself but she didn't quite catch the words and she almost felt like she didn't want to know what was going through the Slytherin's mind at this point.
