Run Away With Me

Run away with me...

Chapter 1: How It All Started

Rose Weasley was about to start her first year at Hogwarts, she was very excited but nervous all at the same time. What if she didn't make any friends? She didn't want to hang around with her cousins all the time; she just wanted to make her own friends.

She looked around for a compartment to sit in but they were all full. She looked into the last carriage and saw a blond haired, blue eyed boy sitting on his own staring out the window. She decided to join him.

"Hi, do you mind if I come in? Everywhere else is full," she asked quietly.

The boy looked up and smiled at her.

"Sure." He gestured to the seat opposite him.

She sat down quietly and looked out the window.

"I'm Scorpius," he said extending his hand.

"I'm Rose," she replied shaking his hand. "What house do you think that you will be in?"

"Well my whole family has been in Slytherin for centuries, but I don't want to be. I don't like my family much, except my mother, of course, but that's about it."

"Oh and why is that?" she asked curious to know why he didn't like his family.

"It doesn't matter," he said sadly thinking back to two days previous.

"Hey dad, guess what?" said Scorpius excitedly.

"I don't care, I thought I told you not to come in here," replied the boy's father.

"I'm sorry, daddy, but I just wanted to tell you something," the boy mumbled.

"Well, it could have waited, Scorpius. I'm very busy so go," said his father coldly.

"Yes daddy," he said slumping his shoulders.

"Don't take that tone with me young man," said the father standing up and walking until he was face to face with his son.

"What tone?" asked the boy, not knowing what he did.

"That tone you stupid idiotic boy." Then he did something that would have shocked anyone else to see it. He slapped him around the face causing Scorpius to run back to his bedroom with tears streaming down from his eyes.

Rose, seeing the look of hurt in his eyes, decided not to pursue the subject and remained silent.

"What about you?" he asked.

"Well my whole family have been in Gryffindor for centuries but my mum thinks that I will probably be in Ravenclaw," she said.

"Cool, so how was the summer?" he asked.

They sat like this talking pleasantly to each other until they arrived at Hogwarts.

"Malfoy, Scorpius," shouted Professor Flitwick to the first years in front of him getting ready to be sorted.

Scorpius stepped forward with shaky legs and sat on the small stool.

"Humm, don't want to be in Slytherin like your father do you boy?" whispered the hat in his ear.

'No,' he thought.

"Humm interesting, very interesting. Well there is only one other house for you then, GRYFFINDOR!" it shouted.

Scorpius was delighted, 'for once I won't get prejudice from anyone because of my father.'

"Weasley, Rose," shouted professor Flitwick.

Rose walked up and placed the hat on her head. As soon as the hat touched her it shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!"

She ran over to where Scorpius was and watched the rest of the sorting.

When they began to talk and eat, they both knew that this was going to be the start of a brilliant friendship.

"Rose, hey Rose!" Scorpius shouted through the corridor.

Rose stopped walking and waited for him to catch up to her. When he had she continued out the doors and into the grounds.

"Hey, what's up?" she asked.

"Well I just wanted to give you your birthday present, it is your birthday right?" he asked uncertainly.

She giggled.

"Yes it is my birthday."

"Phew, for a second there I thought that I had got it wrong." He smiled. Of course he knew when her birthday was, they had been best friends for almost seven years. Although he wanted to be more than that. "So anyway I just wanted to give you this." He held out a long rectangular box.

She took it and slowly opened it. She gasped when she saw her gift. It was a pure gold charm bracelet with charms of a broom, snitch, heart, wand, key and book. He knew her so well, all of these charms where her completely. She couldn't however, explain the heart. Then it dawned on her.

"Oh, Scorpius it's beautiful," she said taking it out the box and placing it around her wrist. When she had clasped it in place she looked up into his eyes. There was something there, something she had never seen before. Was it love? Surely it couldn't be? But it was still there when he looked at her.

"I'm glad you like it," he said giving her a smile that she had never seen before. It was like he was pleased but also loving and compassionate at the same time. It made her weak at the knees. It was just such a nice smile, not to mention that he was a very handsome boy.

She smiled back with the same smile and same look of love in her eyes. Then out of nowhere all her senses were screaming to her to kiss him, starting a fierce battle in her head.

'Just kiss him, you know you want to.'

'I can't! He is my best friend, what if he doesn't even like me that way?'

'Hello, have you seen that bracelet? Its pure gold! Not to mention the fact of the way he is looking at you.'

'It's just too weird.'

'Just do it for god sakes.'

'No!'

'You love him and you know you do.'

'Ok fine! I love him but he doesn't need to know that.'

'Yes he does, he loves you too.'

Finally she gave into he senses and flung her arms around him. She brushed her lips against his and looked at him again. He looked surprised to say the least but also pleased. He leant down and kissed her more passionately. She opened her mouth to give him better access. When breathing became mandatory they both came up for air looking into each other's blue eyes. In that one moment everything seemed perfect, they didn't have a care in the world, until one little fact sunk in. Their parents.

"Shit, we are done for," Rose said reluctantly breaking away from him.

"Yeah we are, but they cannot stop true love Rose. If you like we can keep this from your family for now and just see how it works out. Yeah?"

"That would be brilliant, Scorpius, it really would."

That was last year, now the problems were really going to start
