Scorpius had looked maddened by his father an his wanting Scorpius to fly perfectly as to be Slytherin Seeker once he gets put on the Quidditch Team."Fine..Fine." He said listening to his father.
As he had been directed to do,Scorpius held the broom an slide his hands up,only to find himself crashing into their lawn.
"Sorry,father." |

"Yes.I can feel so much love from you"Jade responded nastily as she rolled her eyes at him as she opened her present from him,which turned out to be the first letter he had ever had written to her over Summer break their first year After reading through it Jade snatched back the pajamas from his hands
"Hey!I liked them."
"Well,I didn't."Jade said feeling guilty from his such sweet present an her's

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 34.Parseltongue=6th Year Rose wanted to run away from the snake in front of her."You aren't one.I know you aren't."She refused to believe Scorpius an his lie Scorpius then began to hiss like any snake would do so,smiling up at Rose as she watched with wide eyes.
Knowing he would not win unless he tricked her Scorpius shouted an pointed "A hippogriff!" At the moment Rose looked at the air an then back to Scorpius to say nothing had been in the sky.
"Wooowwww."She said surprised as she watched the snake slither away,Scorpius grinning happily.

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 21.Veela=4th Year Scorpius,Jade an Albus were all standing around the corridors,watching other students pass them by,as they leaned against the corridor wall. But as everyone walked on by,there was one girl whom seemed to have caught the attention of Scorpius,at least from the back of her hair,how it was slightly bushy yet sleek an shiny. Not being able to look away,an not knowing whom the girl was,possibly thinking Albus might have an idea Scorpius askedDo you know that girl? Rose Weasley.My Cousin. You say cousin,but I say Veela.Scorpius responded smirking.

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 95.Snowball=6th Year Hogwarts grounds had been covered in white dust as the air outside was more crisp than usual. Scorpius was out packing up a snowball throwing them at his friends,but his eye caught sight of Rose Weasley an he immediately knew his next victim.After sneaking up behind her Scorpius carefully placed the snowball in her hoodie an flipped it over so it fell on top of her. After his attack,leaving her completely shocked Scorpius had no clue James Potter came up behind him Scorpius,Cheers! James said angrily as a snowball slapped Scorpius' face,now dripping wet.

The professor all eyed them suspicously as his students made way to his class.Once the class filled up his spoke,Today is National Bowtruckle Day.The Professor said happily clapping his hands together.We will be working with these nasty buggers. Scorpius smirked and looked to his right, You heard him Rose,you're the Bowtruckle today. Rose retaliated with a , At least I'm not a scorpion.

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 48. Leprechaun=7th Year Scorpius was eating in the great hall that morning,staying away from Jade an Rose,whom all seemed to hate him at the moment.
He was still getting over the fact that two girls had hurt him in one day seconds,which for him,was a sad,disappointing day.Searching around the hall he saw Niall,a same year friend from Hufflepuff house,an invited him over.
Niall was Irish,an Scorpius smiled at his cereal,Lucky Charms.He showed Niall’s his choice of food an said to him in a peppy voice, They're always after me Lucky Charms,buddy

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 52.Bore=6th Year Scorpius was hunched over his Muggle Studies book,his head laying flat on it as he listened to Jade ramble on about how she always suspected him liking Rose Weasley.
He was rolling his eyes whenever she wasn’t making contact with his,her conversation was running dry an they talked about it so much,her arguments became repatative,so much that Scorpius knew her next words. Jade,listen.I don't like Rose Weasley.I'm always teasing her.I think she's a bore-nothing to see.
Really? She asked surprised. Really. He answered grimacing as he looked at Albus' long face.

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 92.Chocolate=6th Year Scorpius managed to sneak away from everyone while at Hogsmeade.The winter air slapped his face,but he only tightened his hoodie to keep himself warm as he walked down a desserted pathway.
There,sitting on the snow,sat Rose Weasley with a bag of candy in her hand,her legs dancing on the white fluff.He walked over to her side an held out a palm for her,as she dropped a few pieces of chocolate in his hand. If anyone asks where we were... Rose said quietly,kissing him on the cheek. We'll tell them we bought chocolate

Sorting Hat=1st Year Scorpius sat on the stool as a battered old hat began to speak off of his head, Witty..Sneaky..Good with talk backs..Easy-SLYTHERIN! The sorting hat shouted,Scorpius went in the direction of the screaming green an gray colored students. Potter,Albus! The professor shouted reading off a list of names.
Albus took his step onto the chair,the lady placing the hat on his head now. You are tricky,quiet,yet cheeky,willing to prove yourself...Like your father..But...SLYTHERIN!
The whole hall froze as Albus walked over to Scorpius’ side whom was just as shocked.

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 60.Joke=5th Year Scorpius an Jade were standing behind one of the armored statues,a piece of string attached to a sickle. When Albus Potter approached the sickle he bent down to pick it up,but the sickle scuttled away from him.
Silently giggling to themselves, Scorpius yanked on the string some more,having Albus chase after it,until his untied shoe made him trip an fall right in front of Scorpius an Jade. Sneaky.But not sneaky enough. Albus chuckled at Scorpius, snatching the sickle an humming to himself,leaving Scorpius as disappointed.
Quite ashamed,Scorpius walked with his head hanging low

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 8.Potions=3rd Year It was quite sad seeing as Scorpius an Albus had lost their way to the common room.Both of them spun around madly as they were at the dungeons,but they didn’t exactly know where. Maybe it's over here, Albus pointed in front of them.
Shrugging his shoulder Scorpius listened to his classmate’s suggestion,walking in the direction. He was startled,though,when a door creaked open an Rose Weasley appeared. What are you doing down here? Albus asked his cousin.
Rose stood in silence.Scorpius peeked in an saw it was the Potions class, She’s receiving help. He laughed

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 96.Dictionary=6th Year Scorpius’ hands were aching with pain as he wrote an essay on resisting the Imperius Curse,Rose breathing down his neck. No!You’re spelling it all wrong! Rose said inking out his last word. It’s spelled I-M-P-E-R-I-U-S.Imperius.Not E-M-P-E-R-E-U-S.
She left him behind in the library study area for a few seconds,leaving him lost. It’s a Spell Checking Quill!He told her angrily. Rose looked ticked off as she slammed a thick book on the desk. Dictionary.Use it wisely Rose advised him.
Seeing the size, an not wanting to use it Scorpius said I'd rather spell wrong.

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 30.Feast=Future Here,Here! Scorpius said standing up as he smacked a glass champane bottle. James,Albus Potter,Rose Weasley,Jade an Niall all stood around a long wooden table,a assortment of food in front of Scorpius. Let the feast begin!! James called out putting a hourglass on the table.
Scorpius grabbed for the pile of chicken wings,stuffing them all into his mouth,then grabbing a large mouthful of fries.Time was running short for him,but when he looked up to catch air,a banana cream pie made contact with his face. Rose Weasley!I’m going to kill you!!!

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 93.Chicken=5th Year Go on,do it then. Albus demanded of Scorpius,whom stood paralyzed. You lost you gotta do it. He added pushing him forward.
Still as ice he stood.Then Albus began to dance,moving his hands up an down an pecking the ground,Bawk,BawkBawk Bawk! He teased his classmate.
Scorpius walked up to Jade an patted her shoulder.She turned around surprised but Scorpius took her an kissed her,an his world stopped,fireworks exploded but ended quickly.
They both stared momentarily,an Scorpius walked back to Albus’ side, An you were chicken for that? Albus mocked Scorpius

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 39.Duel=1st Year He was really wishing the sorting hat hadn’t put Albus into Slytherin,because of it’s choice Scorpius was facing consequences,with James Potter over it.
They met in the dark corner of the forbidden forest,late into the night.James stood,holding his wand tightly,Albus next to him.
Looking at each other they bowed down an the duel commenced,Scorpius throwing a Curse Boogie on James,as he said Rictumsempra! having Scorpius giggle. If you ever hurt my brother!!!! James said in a low threatening hiss which had managed to make the brave Scorpius back up a few steps.

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 78. Decisions (Authors Choice)=6th Year It was more than awkward for Scorpius,having Albus,James,Hugo an Niall all watching him debate with his own thoughts. I mean she's so beautiful,an sweet.Really sweet. Scorpius said in a dreamy tone.
The others looked at him with bored expressions. But the other ohhhhh.She's so spicy an sour,an I love that too. Scorpius said smiling to himself.It was a impossible decision for him.Which girl to choose. Scorpius,listen to me-it's your decision. Albus spoke softly.
Biting his lip Scorpius looked at a chocolate wand an a acid pop. I'm torn.

Muggle Studies=Present I swear son,if I hear word from the Headmaster that you’ve decided to join Muggle Studies as one of your classes... Draco said hissing at his 13 year old Scorpius. An what will you do if he decides that?! Astoria rounded on her husband. I’ll disown him,that’s what I’ll do.It’s not allowed Draco added in the same insulting manner.
Scorpius’ head began to have a twitch as he watched his parents arguing,for what he thought was nothing.Honestly, what was the problem. Son,do whatever you want Astoria said bending down to kiss her son's cheek

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 36.Muggle=2nd Year Right.An what is this again?Scorpius asked Albus whom was holding a figurine of a bird that had metal wings. It's an airplane.
An airoplane. Scorpius repeated flying it around.An what does it do? It’s a form of transportation for muggles.It flies them from city to city. Albus further explained. So,it's like apparating? Scorpius guessed. Not exactly.This takes hours to get to the destination. Albus said grimacing.
Scorpius played around with the toy.If it takes hours to get somewhere-why have it in the first place?
Albus then began to smack his head furiously.

James shot back,just as nastily with more fire in his spit. You honestly can't be saying a HISS is less scary than a ROAR?! Scorpius spat at the Gryffindor. At least a RAWWRRR scares the living daylights out of me.You can barely hear a hiss. James defended his house.
Albus stood shaking his head at their childish nonsense of arguments.A RAWWWRRRRR can be scary in a safari.A HISSSSS can be scary in a swamp.Argument over!Pathetic,guys,really.

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 79.Authors Choice=Random Utter 7th Year As much of a good buddy you are,I can't deny it doesn't make me feel better about you liking her.You've hurt my cousin terribly. Albus spoke to Scorpius looking across the house table. Back off! At least two girls liked me. Scorpius told him roughly. At least I'm not the depressed Slytherin,which,by the way,makes you look less of a Slytherin,in case you were wondering. responded Albus in a snappy manner.
Niall watched the two of them starting to bicker an argue about the girls,being tired with them he did the most random thing, POTATO!

Niall was a living vacuum,sucking everything in sight.One minute the club sandwiches, cereal an apples were there,sitting on the table peacefully,now all being digested in his stomach.
Albus,not being able to stand it anymore,got up an reached over to Niall’s side,an slapped the apple out of his mouth."Ugh..You're disgusting when you eat!"

| Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy! 61.Kiss=6th Year Scorpius stood,swaying in a empty classroom.Rose Weasley had told him to meet up there.
When she arrived his stomach began to turn.She had never explained what they would be doing.It was late,an they must’ve been the only students out of bed.
Rose looked up at Scorpius an fixed his long,jagged blonde hair,an in a turn of events she asked him,Are you ready? Ready for what? He asked confused.
Then,in a blur of a flash her hands instantly flew up an grabbed his cheeks an they kissed,their lips touching each other.

Defense Against the Dark Arts=6th Year They were feet apart on the Quidditch Field,somewhere where no one would find him,an Scorpius’ death would not be known for hours. Calm down! Scorpius advised Jade,his wand held up in case of attack. You kissed her!?But you're dating me!! Jade spat at him. You should've seen this coming. He told her. YOU KISSED HER!
Jade raised her wand dangerously high an was thinking of stupefy. HEY!HEY!What's happening? Albus asked,running in between the two. I'm defending myself against the dark arts. Scorpius spoke.

Albus' mouth was wide opened. Extra!Extra!Read all about it! Niall screamed to the hall of students,as he stood on a small pedestal.Scorpius put his hand out an Niall gave him one newspaper.I think you'll love it. Niall smirked.
Flipping through it,Scorpius easily found out what he had been talking about.Jade West an Rose Weasley revenge on Scorpius Malfoy. He read from the artical. That doesn't sound good. Albus commented,smiling. I really,really,love you Niall. Scorpius shot sarcastically.
