Prologue

Memories of Rose Weasley…

It was the most beautiful back of a head he had ever seen in his eleven year on the earth. Long red hair fell to perfect ringlets, a hand reached up to tuck a stray curl behind her ear. He longed to reach out and touch her hair and being only eleven years old he wasn't exactly sure why.

He watched from the Slytherin table as the sorting hat fell over her eyes and she was excepted into the throng of cheering Gryffindors.

"That's my Cousin, Rosie! I was hoping we'd be in the same house," said a scrawny dark haired boy on his left smiling sadly at her.


"What are your plans for Christmas" Rose asked politely on the train back to Kings Cross Station.

"Nothing" Scorpius replied hating himself for the response, or lack of… Tactfully skirting over this terrible reply Rose turned back to her friend Jas and Scorpius was left with the back of her head again…it was his own fault.

Saying their goodbyes Scorpius, barely listening, looked over Albus's shoulder to see Rose talking animatedly with her father. A hand was placed on Albus's shoulder and Scorpius was suddenly looking up a scruffy bespectacled man.

"How are you Scorpius, enjoying your second year?' the man asked, smiling at how twitchy he was.

"Yeah I'm good thanks, glad it Christmas though" Pathetic reply he thought, inwardly kicking himself.

"Good, well your welcome to visit anytime you want. Have a good Christmas!"

Thanks Mr. Potter, you too!" he called feebly as her made hi back to his mother.


A cluster of Third years made their way towards Hagrid's hut for their Care of magical creatures lesson. The snow was heavy on the ground causing many people to slip and slide.

"Rose…Rosie…ROSIE!!!" Al Yelled, Rose turned on the spot quickly, lost her footing and slipped. She grabbed the nearest thing within reach dragging it down with her.

"OOOF" They hit the floor, well Scorpius hit the floor, Rose hit Scorpius.

"I'm so sorry, I-I just…slipped" but it was a pointless reply, Scorpius was already walking away. His pale complexion tinged with pink.

"Woah are you ok? That was quite a fall! What on earth did you do to Scorp?"

"I have no idea…" said Rosie frowning slightly at Scorpius' retreating figure.


"And we're back! Second match of the season and it's Gryffindor Vs. Ravenclaw! We have a few changes to line up this year replacing her cousin Dominique Weasley as chaser we have Rose Weasley! Ravenclaw also have a new player Effie Smith will be taking over the position of Seeker..."

The rest was unheard by the blond Slytherin up in the stands as the teams strode on the pitch.

"AND THERES THE WHISTLE! OFF THEY GO! Weasley takes possession and passes to Weasley, who passes back to Weasley, they're really going for it! GO ON!"

Rose Weasley was flying to towards the goal Quaffle clutch tightly to her, it soared from her arms and into an open hoop.

"ROSE WEASLEY HAS SCORED! WHAT A FANTASTIC START TO MATCH AND TO HER QUIDDITCH CAREER!"

Roses first match was going well the score was 120-80 to Gryffindor

"Weasleys in possession, passes to Weasley who passes it forward to Weasley- AHHH YOU KNOW WHAT, THERE ARE TOO MANY WEASLEY ON THAT TEAM! EVEN I'M CONFUSED NOW!"

There was an intake of breath from the crowd they had seen it too, James Potter had dove for the snitch. At exactly the same moment Connors the Ravenclaw Beater aimed a Bludger at Rose Weasley, it hit her with such force she was knocked clear off her broom and plummeted to the ground…


"What? It's not what you think Ro-Ro" Scorpius froze outside the classroom he recognized that voice. Aiden O'Brien - Gryffindor sixth year and the current boyfriend of Rose Weasley.

"Not what I think?" Rose Screeched incredously, "How on earth could catching you with that Slytherin slag possibly be misconstrued!"

'THWACK!'

Scorpius peeped through the door just in time to catch the most fantastic punch he had ever seen, Roses fist smacked into Aiden nose with a crunch.

"That's for cheating on me," she said as she caught him again squarely on the nose "and that's for calling me Ro-Ro!" Aiden recoiled in agony as Rose stormed out of the classroom.

"Nicely done" Said Scorpius as she stalked past him.

"Nobody calls me Ro-Ro and gets away with it"

"I'll keep that in mind" he called after her with a smile.


It was Summer at the Burrow and Scorpius Malfoy felt slightly out of place at the dinner table. There was a lot laughter coming from the end of the table and glancing down Scorpius saw Mrs Potter, James, Teddy, Fred and Rosie all sharing a joke. Over the chatter he couldn't hear what it was, he started to consentrate, trying and failing to drown out Percy Weasleys monotonous tones. He watched as the laughter died down, Rosie drained her bottle of butter beer. Fred had said something else causing Rosie to laugh so unexpectedly that she sprayed her mouthful of butter beer over James.

"Rosie!" scolded her Mother and Grandmother while Rosie howled with laughter, tears streaming out of her eyes and down her nose. He never did find out what had made her laugh so much.


"Hey anyone up for some Quidditch!" called James walking over the girls lying on the grass in the afternoon sun. The girls ignored him but Rosie pushed herself up on to balance on her elbows and looked at her cousins lying around lazily –

"I'll play!" she smiled hoisting herself up.

"Way hey, we've got the birthday girl! Think you can handle it now you're of age?" he joked as Rosie swatted him with her book.

"Ok! Lets make this four a side, James, Fred, Rosie and I against Al, Hugo, Louis and Scorp- Sound Fair?" said Teddy taking charge before any fights broke out "Lets go, I'm in goal, cover them guys" he added to his team.

They spread out James went automatically to his brother, and Louis to Fred.

"So you're gonna cover me?" Scorpius laughed

"Uh Huh! Like white on rice-like those odds? Look out for me, and just so you know, I'll be the girl holding the Quaffle." Rosie teased, realizing this was the first proper conversation she'd ever had with Scorpius.

"Be careful! Don't fall off your broom again!" he called zooming off leaving Rosie behind, gesturing with her two fingers up, and smiling.


"Ok, so for the final part of the exam if you could just demonstrate a Patronus charm" said the examiner calmly looking up at the blond seventh year.

Scorpius closed his eyes and Roses face came to him…

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" he cried as a Fox erupted from the end of his wand.

"Well done! That'll be all Mr. Malfoy. You may go now."
