So basically, I can't remember which user, but I came across a list of sayings on a fanfiction users authors page which included things such as "A friend takes the blame for you, A best friend screams "She did it! She did it! I'm innocent. She did it!"" and I immedialty thought it would be a wonderful idea for a string of Rose/Scorpius one-shots. If it was you, I thank you.

I hope you all enjoy this one and let me know what you think? Also, I hope you stick around for the ones to come. They'll all be similar characterisations of Rose/Scorpius but perhaps not the same story. Considering they're just random moments in their life during and post Hogwarts they could well be related one-shots.

Also, if anybody has any suggestion sayings just fill in the phrase "A friend _. A best friend_" and message me or leave it in a review and, if I can, I'll write a one-shot on it. I really want to get you guys involved in this and I love suggestions.

Enjoy!

A friend takes the blame for you

A best friend screams "She did it! She did it! I'm innocent. She did it!"

I was not having a very good day.

Or more, I was not having a good day.

My best friend Scorpius Malfoy smirked at me from across our foul smelling potion.

Scratch that, I was having a terrible day.

When Scorpius was secretly amused, it meant a trick was brewing, and if I was not in on the trick, it meant bad things for me.

I glared at his stupidly handsome face as I angrily tore off parts of the roots I was supposed to be cutting into precise slices and threw them into the alarmingly orange cauldron.

He rocked gleefully on his heels, grinning at me, obviously wanting my attention.

I rolled my eyes, He was like a child.

"Rosie…" He whined quietly.

I flicked my eyes up at him in warning that I was in a bad mood, then returned to taking my anger out on the ingredients.

Not only had I had hardly any sleep last night, but my parents had decided to ground me and revoke my allowance because they thought I had been the one to throw a house party in the half term when they were away (even though it had obviously been Hugo)! This, in turn, meant that I couldn't go out with my cousins Saturday night to celebrate James' 18th birthday.

I was not happy.

"Rosieeeeee…."

"Scorpius," I snapped. "Don't test me."

He paused, taking in my words, weighing whether or not he could get away with annoying me further. I could tell he was going to ignore my warning.

I glanced back down at the roots, half surprised to realise I'd ground them all up. I moved on to grab the next ingredient, but my hand was stopped by the sound of Scorpius' amused whine, "Rooooooosie!"

My head snapped up so fast he flinched from his position beside me, having crossed the table when I ignored him.

"Scorpius, you're my best friend, but I swear to Merlin I will pour this potion down your throat if you do not leave me alone this once."

He blinked.

Then smirked.

"You're angryyyyyy," He sung.

"Damn right I'm angry!" I exclaimed, letting out my anger through my words. I slammed the blunt side of my knife down on the newts eye and stuck it in the now bubbling cauldron, not even bothering to cut off the part that wasn't supposed to be used. "All anyone has been talking about for the past six months has been how amazing James' birthday is going to be. I've even bought my outfit and planned taxis and everything! And then my parents," I spat the word, frustrated, as my hair frizzed about my face, "decide to just turn around and ground me, as well as taking my allowance away! So everyone can go and have a wonderful time but me! So, yes, Scorpius, I am very, very angry!"

He stared at me, dumfounded.

Before he could open his mouth to respond, Nadia glided past with her prefect vial of perfect potion, took one snooty glance at mine and advised condescendingly, "You really should tame that concoction, Rose."

As she strutted away, I glared daggers at her and Scorpius had to physically restrain me from releasing all my anger on her as I stepped round the table.

His arms came round from behind to hold me to his chest as I muttered a string of impressive swear words and curses under my breath at her. I struggled and tried to shake him off, but he was strong.

"Let go! I'm gonna kill her. Who does she think she is! I'll give her something to tame!"

Our commotion was concealed by the rowdy classroom for a few moments, then everything was drowned out by the sound of our tumultuous potion as it exploded.

"Scor, get off-"

We jumped out of our skin, along with the rest of the class, as the vibrant orange and blue fumes and sticky liquid burst out of the cauldron with a 'bang!' and splattered every surface it could reach, namely Scorpius and I, who were still in an awkward hold

The room went deathly silent.

Then Professor Brian raised his large bulk from his chair at the front of the room and pointed an accusing finger at Scorpius and I, who were frozen to the spot, as the vein in his forehead pulsed. "Weasley and Malfoy!"

There was another pause, then Scorpius released me, took one step away and pointed his own hand at me, an expression of feigned innocence on his face, "She did it! She did it, I swear I'm innocent. She did it!"

I turned to glare at him again but, like always, it was only half-hearted when it came to Scorpius. "Gee, thanks for backing me up there, Scor."

Face turned away from the teacher, he smirked at me. "It's true!"

"It-" I attempted to argue but Professor Brian interrupted, knowing that once we got started on an argument it would take an age to stop it.

"Weasley, did you put those ingredients into the potion which allowed it to over boil and explode?"

"I-"

"Yes or no?" He gazed sternly at me.

I sighed in defeat. "Yes…" I mumbled.

He sighed too, "Detention."

"But, Professor!"

"No 'but''s!" He countered. Scorpius giggled under his breath at my horrified expression, amused, until Professor Brian turned to him too. "You too, Malfoy."

"Wh-" He looked crestfallen.

I smirked, suddenly entertained. "Cheer up, bestie," I patted him patronisingly on the top of the head, "at least we'll have each other."

So, I think I can write much better ones, but this is just a beginning taster. I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to let me know your thoughts!
