First Year
"They said yes!!" Albus yelled and whooped.
"Who? And what to?" Asked Scorpius tiredly. Rose, who was sitting by them didn't even bother to look up from her huge pile of books.
"My parents. They said Scorp can come to our house during christmas break."
"Really!?" Scorpius yelled, just as excited. He was delighted beyond anything. His parents were going to France during that time, so now he didn't have to celebrate alone. He was going to celebrate christamas with his best mates!
"Wow, Al! That's great. I'm really happy. Rose said, seeming genuinely happy. "Now can we go back to work?" She said, pointing to their homework.
The boys both rolled their eyes and forgot anything to do with homework to discuss about their break. Quidditch, wizards chess, and the snowball fights! There was so many things to do.
This time, on the Hogwarts express, the entire gang-James, Fred, Dominique, Louis, Roxanne-and Scorpius, Rose and Al had decided to sit together. Needless to say, it was quite clustered. James, Fred and Louis were discussing about the latest match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw-which Gryffindor had won. Fred and his twin sister, Roxanne played beaters in the team. They say they are as good as Fred(I) and George. James is the chaser. Louis likes to commentate more than play. Dominique doesn't know what a bludger is.
Rose, Scorpius and Albus were huddled together in a corner, discussing about their plans yet again. Rose will be in her home for the first four days, then will come to the Potter's and stay with Al and Scorpius. For christmas, the enitre Weasely and Potter family will go to the Burrow for dinner and will stay for the next two days. Thereafter, Scorpius will depart to his home for the New Year. No sooner than later, all of them had indulged in a game of ---
"Ooh I wanna see Uncle Ron's expression when he meets Scorpius. " Said Dominique.
"5 Galleons he's going to go all doubty eyes when he sees Rose and Scorp" James said.
"You're on, mate!" Fred said.
Everyone laughed while Rose and Scorpius just blushed a faint red.
And indeed, James was right, Ron was looking doubtful the entire time Rose was with him. Rose found this terribly irritating. She had just gone out and introduced him as her best friend. They both had shared a handshake, which according to Scorp, had almost crushed his hand.
Four days later found the three friends playing quidditch in the lawns of the Potters. They had decided to try out for the team next year. Rose was trying out for chaser, Scorpius for keeper and Al for seeker. They were all training pretty hard.
One night, there was a storm brewing outside. Scorpius, who was bunking with Al in his room was awake when the door opened and he found a red-haired girl enter the room. He thought it was Lily-Al's younger sister at first, but then he heard Rose's voice.
"Al, there's a storm outside..."
Albus immediately made space for her in the bed as if it was something they had always been doing.
Had it been his mother, she would have said "Oh how sweet of them!" But he was not his mother. Scorpius didn't use words like sweet.
The christmas eve, Scorpius was introduced to the entire family by Al and Rose. He was greeted with some stiff handshakes but was mostly welcomed. Scorpius had seen so many people in the same house for the first time. At first he felt a little suffocated. Rose and Al didnt leave his side for the entire evening and by dinner time, he almost felt like home. He saw Rose chatting with the elder Weasely, Victoire, Bill and Fleur's daughter. Victoire was part veela and thus was extremely beautiful. She was going out with Teddy Lupin, someone who Al had said he idolised.
"So, hows everything going on with Teddy?" Asked Rose, at the other side of the room.
"Oh, its a bit different from how we were at Hogwarts. Now I have my healer training and Teddy has his auror training so we dont really have time for each other. But when we do meet, its like magic!" Gushed Victoire.
Rose had the far-fetched look on her face, imagining what it would be like...
"You and this guy, Scorpius, seem very cozy...?"
"Wha-? Oh, no! We are just friends.. Its nothing like that," Rose blushed.
"You know, Teddy and I used to say the same thing..." Said an amused Victoire.
"Dinner time, everyone!" Grandma Weasely called everyone for dinner. With so many people in the same house, it was rather difficult, but immense fun. In one corner, Al and James were fighting over salt, while in the other, George was teasing Ron about something.
