Year Two
It was the first Quidditch match of the season. Slytherin vs Gryffindor. Each team had new members. On the Slytherin team it was Scorpius Malfoy as the new Seeker. On the Gryffindor team it was Rose Weasley as the new Chaser.
Scorpius woke with a start. He then panicked. Today was the day. The day of the big Quidditch match. He had told Rose yesterday that Slytherin were going to win so now all he had to do was make that happen. No pressure.
Rose woke calmly and lay in bed thinking. The arrogant prick she called friend told her that her team was going to lose the Quidditch match today. Time to prove him wrong.
They both met outside the Great Hall and went in to eat before they both bottled out – not that either of them would admit that. They helped themselves to copious amounts of food but neither of them really ate much, they just pushed it around their respective plates. When their teams came to collect them they had both reached full-blown panic. Fred and James picked her up and carried her off but she yelled to Scorpius: 'Good luck! I'll see you on the other side…'
The Quidditch match was one of the longest games ever seen at Hogwarts. It lasted 5 ½ hours. The end score was Gryffindor 300: Slytherin 280. Scorpius caught the Snitch and Rose scored 23 of the 30 Gryffindor goals. So they both won.
As they were dragged from the pitch to celebrate their wins Rose grabbed onto Scorpius and whispered, 'Our place. See you at ten.'
The parties lasted until half nine and when everyone had gone and the common rooms had been cleared they both rushed to the empty classroom in which they had had their first proper conversation about something other than work.
They arrived at the same time and hugged. They then discussed the match but after 10 minutes they both decided to lie down. To be fair they had both woken up early and played an intense game of Quidditch on practically no food.
They then snuck out of the room and crept to the kitchens. They were met by several House Elves who clamoured over them and when they asked for tea all ran off to see who was the quickest.
They drank their tea and argued good-naturedly over several different topics. When the clock struck 11 they looked at each other and then went back to their own dorms.
They both slept soundly that night.
