Love is Love: A Scorose Fanfic

Chapter 6: Classes

The first day back at Hogwarts happened like it did every year. Once the students entered the school, the sorting ceremony began. Albus and Scorpius went over to the Slytherin table, while Rose and the rest of the Weasley/Potter family went to the Gryffindor table. The ceremony was as long as usual, finally when the last name was called, the students could dig in to the delicious feast the payed house elves made. The night went as usual, after the feast, the students went up to their dorms, and prepared for the first day of class tomorrow.

" 'Night" Albus said to Scorpius.

" 'Night" Scorpius responded. With this, Scorpius climbed into his green, four-poster bed, and pulled closed his curtains. As he tried to fall asleep, he thought about the year he had ahead of him. First, he thought of O.W.L.'s. This din't stress him out as much as it did to the other students. Scorpius always excelled at school. Matter of fact, you could probably put him in N.E.W.T level classes, and he'd probably pass. Then, he thought about Quidditch this year. He hoped that he would make the team. He didn't practice and work out all summer for nothing. And then he thought about her. He thought about how much he would change this year for her. He would start to be more confident around her. He would make an effort for her to notice him. Scorpius wished so much this year would be different between him and Rose. If he couldn't win her over, the least he wanted was to be friends with her. She was just so perfect. She was pretty, good at Quidditch, and extremely smart. Scorpius just let out a sigh at this, and rolled over to sleep.

The next morning, Scorpius had woken up, put on his black and green robes, and pined on his Prefect badge. He woke Albus up, (as usual), and they headed down to breakfast.

"So what's the first class this morning?" Albus asked Scorpius. Albus knew that Scorpius would have memorized their schedule by now.

"Potions." Scorpius responded. Scorpius knew Potions was Albus's favorite class. It was the only class that Albus could beat (only sometimes), Scorpius in.

"Sweet." Albus simply responded.

With this, the boys ate their eggs and toast, and made their way back down to the dungeons to the Potions classroom.

"Oh, hey Rose." Albus said, as they approached the classroom. In fifth year, all classes were all four houses. (For O.W.L. Preparation)

"ROSE!" Scorpius thought to himself. It completely skipped his mind that he would have all his classes with Rose this year.

"Oh, hey guys." Rose responded, before she realized she said guys.

Apparently, it had skipped her mind also that Scorpius would be in all her classes.

To both their relief, A very elderly Professor Slughorn came and let them in the classroom.

"Good morning everyone!" Professor Slughorn beamed, as all the students took their usual seats. Albus and Scorpius sat behind Rose and another Gryffindor girl.

"Welcome to fifth year Potions! This year is probably going to be your toughest one yet. As you all know, you have your very important O.W.L.'s this year. To be in my N.E.W.T. Level class, you must get somewhere between an A and E on the exam. (A stand for Average  and E stands for Exceeds Expectations). This year, we will be studying semi-advanced potions." Professor Slughorn said.

"Please turn to page 10 in your textbooks" Professor Slughorn added. With this, everyone did what he said.

"Can anyone explain to me what this potion is?" Professor Slughorn asked. You can guess which two hands went up.

"Yes, Ms. Weasley" Professor Slughorn said as he called on Rose.

"It's Amortentia. One of the strongest love potions in the world. And, it's called Amortentia because its prefix is Amor, which is Spanish for love." Rose responded.
