Because Cait Jackson-Mellark-Blakelee asked me for ScoRose a realllyyy long time ago, but I couldn't come up with anything until a few nights ago. So... CHAPTER 98!

"My cousin told me that he's friends with you."

Scorpius looked up at the red-head in shock.

"Albus told me that I should be nice to you because none of the other Gryffindors are," Rose told him matter-of-factly.

Scorpius glanced back down at his Charms homework. "Oh. They… they all think I'm evil, or something."

Rose placed a tentative hand on his arm. "I don't think you're evil." Then she looked down at his homework, too, and began to tell him all of the mistakes that he had made.

And from that day on, Scorpius was completely besotted with Rose.

This isn't really how I usually see their friendship beginning, but I sort of like this.

I've tallied up the votes, so I will put up a poll with the most popular ones right after I post the 100th chapter. Hopefully it won't take me forever to get the story up. If you have any last minute votes, please get them to me ASAP.
