Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter

Hi everyone. Well, since 14 Hours is done I've decided to post another multi chapter story. So this is the first chapter. I hope you like it.

When Are You Going to Get It?

The fifth year boys dormitory was getting ready for bed. Scorpius Malfoy sat up in his bed reading his Potions, Albus Potter was quickly writing a forgotten Herbology paper, Josh Thomas had just walked out of the bathroom holding a toothbrush, Kyle Daniels was already sleeping, Matthew Robinson was eating (as usual) sweets, and Liam Abercombie was owling his girlfriend.

Scorpius suddenly shut his book and looked up, his head in thoughts. His brow furrowed and a frown met his mouth.

"Done!" Albus proudly said, holding the essay up. "What's up Scorp?" he asked, noticing his friend's expression.

"Oh, nothing," Scorpius hastily shook his head. "Just a little confused and thinking, that's all." He set his book on his bedside table, and put his hands behind his head as he lay back.

"Was it about the book?"

"Never mind what I just said Al. It doesn't matter anymore," he sighed.

"Well apparently it matters to you. Come on Scorp. I want to hear it," Albus pleaded. "Matt!" he yelled in a loud whisper. "Can you maybe chew a bit softer?"

"Sure thing Al," Matt replied, his mouth full of chocolate.

"So what is it?" Albus asked, his attention back on Scorpius.

A smile crept onto Scorpius' pale face. "Hey Al, do you remember the first time we met?"

"Of course I do," Albus exclaimed. "I'll probably never forget it either."

*Flashback*

"Albus!" Rose hissed, as they walked the school grounds. "Look!" she pointed to a blond haired boy with a pointed featured face. "He's sitting under the Whomping Willow. It's going to kill him any second!"

"What should we do?" Albus asked.

"Save him of course! You're so dimwitted sometimes Albus Severus," she exclaimed.

"Hey your the Ravenclaw. The one with the brains," he reminded.

The Whomping Willow suddenly started thrashing it's branches.

"RUN!" Rose and Albus yelled at the boy.

He looked up and was on his feet in an instant. Before he could make any kind of escape the Willow got him. He screamed and grabbed a flailing branch. It swung him everywhere.

"We have to help him!" Rose urged, grabbing Albus' hand and running. "Try to push the button."

She was making reference to the button at the bottom of the tree that immobilized the it.

Rose screamed as one of the branches caught her.

Albus had to do something so he grabbed a branch too.

Cuts, scratches, and bruises would lay on their skin if they made it out alive.

"Do something!" Albus screamed, flying by her.

"What?" she yelled, flying by him again.

"Anything!" Scorpius replied.

Rose broke a branch off her larger branch. It only made it angrier.

"Nice going!" Albus yelled sarcastically.

Rose stuck the branch she had ripped off at the bottom of the tree as the arms flailed. The tree instantly became motionless. All three of the kids dropped to the ground with 'thuds'.

"You look awful," Albus said, looking at Rose.

"Thanks Al. A girl always loves hearing that," she said with sarcasm.

Rose walked over and held her hand out to Scorpius. He took it, pulling himself up.

"Thanks for saving my skin," he said to her. "I'm Scorpius."

"I'm Rose and this is Albus," she pointed to Al right next to her.

"I guess we're friends?" he asked.

"Friends sounds good," Rose nodded. "How about you Al?"

"Friends sounds great," Albus spoke. "Our Dad's are going to kill us though."

"No kidding," Scorpius nodded. "We'd better go up to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey should probably be able to heal these up." He pointed to all of the injuries they had got.

The trio walked up to the castle that day not knowing they were going to be the next closest trio since Rose and Albus' parent's. All of them were healed up good. Scorpius left with a scar down his neck.

*End of Flashback*

Albus looked over to see Scorpius' scar. It was unbelievably noticeable. That was the first thing you'd see if you had just met him.

"What's the real problem though Scorp? You've been quiet ever since lunch," Albus was worried. Scorpius usually was a little shy, but never around his best mates.

Scorpius ran his hands through his hair and down his face.

"It's Rose," he finally said. "Today in the library we were studying for O.W.L.s and I looked up at her. It had never happened before, but I got this strange feeling at the bottom of my stomach. She looked up at me and----" he paused. "And I felt like I wanted to kiss her."

Albus' eyes widened. He suddenly had this strange urge to get out of bed and punch Scorpius. Even though he wasn't Rose's brother, he still felt very protective of her.

"Al I don't know what to do," he said obviously irritated. "I've been trying to avoid her all day because of it. We have this really close friendship and all. I don't want to chance it though" he stared up at the ceiling. 'Other times I do. This is so frustrating!" he pounded the sides of his bed.

"I reckon you give it time Scorp," Albus said. "Let the future events unfold."

"You're right. I think I shouldn't worry about this. I mean, Rose might not even feel the same way about me. G'night Al," and he turned off his light,

SO what did you think? Review!
