Typical [Next Gen.]

A hand turned another page of the tattered textbook, careful to not rip the aged parchment. The fingernails were still filled with dirt from the student's Herbology lesson; and a cut was visible on the left index finger, received from the Venomous Tantacula they had attempted to re-pot. Clicking their tongue, brown eyes quickly scanning the page, they suddenly slammed the ancient book shut; dust spattering everywhere.

"Nothing?" Hissed the girl crossly as she returned the decrepit textbook to its appropriate shelf. "How in the bloody hell am I supposed to finish my assignment if I can't find anything?" With a sigh, she reached back into her long, curly red hair and pulled it back into a messy ponytail. Now Rose Weasley was getting down to business.

"Maybe Mum has something I could use?" Rose muttered, turning to stare out one of the library's few windows. It looked as though most students were taking advantage of the Saturday afternoon by lounging around outside. Rose; however, was hard at work on her Herbology essay. If she received anything less than perfect, she would probably have to blubber on a family member's shoulder again. She had been receiving weekly owls from her mother about her upcoming N.E.W.T exams. But Mum, they're a whole year away! Rose had written, so angrily that she's accidentally blotched the ink on the word 'Mum'. According to her mother, if her grades continued to be steady, she could receive another nine out of nine.

Chocolate eyes moistening slightly, she hurriedly ran a hand across her freckled complexion. Everything would be peachy keen, Rose told herself as she pulled a fresh piece of parchment from her bag. She would just write Mum a quick letter about any Herbology books she had lying around. Cursing under her breath, she began to write.

Scorpius wasn't sure why but he felt like being in the library today, although he would never admit it he did enjoy reading and looking at things in the past... well most things anyway. He looked down the aisles looking for something that would catch his eye, skipping over each title quickly as he walked down. Nope nothing, how annoying, with a huff of annoyance that his search for something interesting to read fruitless he looked around the area.

The first thing he noticed was a girl with the freckles of a Weasley with reddish hair. How did he know what a trademark Weasley was? His father told him on his first day at Hogwarts, he wasn't sure how he had remembered this but he did. Taking a second to work out which Weasley the girl was he assumed at Rose. Walking over towards her he let himself known by beginning to talk "Hullo their Weasley, Rose right?" he asked with mild interest.

Rose looked up from her letter, and her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at Scorpius. It wasn't like him to wander over and make idle conversation, let alone remember her name. She didn't blame him, though. There were about ten other Weasley cousins at Hogwarts this year. Her lips slightly pursed, Rose nodded.

"Yes," She said, resting her quill on the parchment, her letter nearly complete. "I know who you are, Scorpius Malfoy".

Malfoy. Rose had heard plenty of stories about Draco Malfoy from her father. How he'd called her mother "Mudblood", and how he teased her father about his family's financial issues. She'd seen Scorpius and his father on her very first day of school at Platform 9 and 3/4 almost six years ago. She remembered how her father had told her to "beat him at every test" and to not let his bullying affect her. However; in her six years at school, they'd never once spoken alone or made any effort to get to know one another. Still, she knew that he was friends with Albus, so maybe he wasn't as bad as her father had let on?

"I'm surprised you remembered my name," She said as she signed her name at the bottom of the letter to her mother. "Most people have to guess a few times before they get it".

Scorpius's eyebrows raised slightly as she got his name right "Correct" he replied " I have a good memory " he stated before drifting of into thought for a second.

Scorpius knew perfectly well that their family from the generation before hadn't gotten on very well. His father has been very much so a bully, his father didn't seem very fond of them from how he told Scorpius that the Weasley’s were a poor wizarding family easily recognisable from their hair colour and hand-me-down clothes... at least that's what Draco said they were like at Scorpius's age. Scorpius thought about this and mentally rolled his eyes, the things that came out his father’s mouth could be rather horrid at times, and from Rose in front of him not always true.
