Hi guys! Okay, I'm not actually very pleased with this one, it's just a bit too free-versey.. it seems too overcrowded, but I had to put it up, I just had to. I don't know. Maybe I'm a masochist. Whatever. I may do a one-shot that's more 'story-like' later, using the same idea/plotline, but I want to see what you guys think.

Disclaimer: Bro, I'm a kiwi. I'm not even from the same hemisphere as J.. So, nuh-uh, I don't own anything boo hoo

(Scorpius POV btw)

'C o m e on, Rose' he said

'LET'S go' he told her

She stood up, nodding at him and waved at me

'Wait, Rosie' I said

'S C O R P I U S, let me go' she said t h r e a t e n i n g l y

I GRABBED her a r m, eyes pleading

'MALFOY let me go!' she cried

I let go, as if b u r n e d

I watched, s h o c k e d as she left with him

(becauseshenevercalls y o u MALFOY)

I mope all the way to the Ravenclawcommon room

'HI!' an u n l a w f u l l y cheerful voice calls

I ignore her, and a second later, she follows

'Babe, what's wrong?' she asks me, c o n f u s e d

I look up at her

She's summer blonde (and Rose is all autumn rusty goldy-browns)

Her eyes are light sky-blue (but Rose's are all chocolatechocolatechocolatebrown)

Her smile is all palepalepalepink and average lips (but nothing about Rose is average, her lips are full and amazingrose-red)

Her voice is all tinklyand high, like bells (but it's kind of annoying, and Rose's voice is bubbly and rich, and it reminds you of chocolate)

'C o m e o n, Scor, tellme' she says, but it feelswrong, like she's ordering me to (even though she'snot, she just isn't as coaxing as Rose)

I look at her

'Tracey…' but even her name feels wrong. It's all grating and meaningless (and Rose is all silky and meaningful)

She looks at me, expectantly

'I… Rosie isn't talking to me, and I don't know what to do!' I rush out

She eyes mestrangely

Then she blows up (and damn boy, it's notpretty)

'How come she has so much power over YOU?' she rages, eyes crazy (and not crazy pretty either, like Rose when she's mad, who's all flashing eyes and fiery halo of hair when she's angry)

I just watch her go, d u m b f o u n d e d

'You're meant to love me!' she yells

'But Tracey… she's my veryveryverybest friend!' I shout

This stops her in her tracks

'WHAT about Al?' she asks

I shake my head, w o r r i e d. My girlfriend doesn't know who my best friend is…

'Al is a g r e a t friend, but he's not Rose' I say

I flop backwards onto my bed, and a second later, she joins me

'So… what makes you think she's mad at you?' she asks me

'She called meMALFOY' I tell her, voice shaking (but in anger or sorrow, boy, do you know?)

Tracey is silent and suddenly she's laughing

'That's so p a t h e t i c' she chokes out

I turn on her in seconds

'You don't u n d e r s t a n d!' I shout, voice shaking (but it's definitely anger this time)

And then I really looked at her

Her eyes, so light sky-blue are too wrong to understand (cos only chocolatechocolatechocolatebrown understands, right?)

Her lips, sopalepalepale pink and average (so Tracey) will never measure up to full and amazing rose-red (so Rose)

Her tinkly and high laugh like bellsnever makes you want to laugh and laugh and laugh like bubbly and rich chocolate laughs do

When her summerblonde hair flies in the wind, it never s t o p s yourheart like autumn rusty goldy-browns do

And then I s t o o d u p (cos little boy, then you realised)

'S c o r p i u s,where are you going?' she asks, d e s p e r a t e.

I shake my head at her (cos she's so sowrong)

And I begin to w a l k (And damn boy, it feels good huh?)

And then A L Lhell breaks l o o s e.

'NO! You're m i n e!' she screeches.

I turn and look at her, in utter d i s b e l i e f (cos you've never been hers, darling)

'No, I'm not,' I say to her.

Sheg l a r e sat me as I walk a w a y

And I d i d n ' t care (not one little bit)

'Rose! Rose,wait!' I c a l l e d after her autumn rusty goldy-brown mane as she turned the c o r n e r

'MALFOY, what do youwant?' she a s k e d me (and cold little boy, your heartbroke a little bit)

'Rosie… Rose, I'm so, sos o r r y' I say (but even then, you wonder if it's enough)

She looked at you, in d i s b e l i e f

'You'resorry?For what, S C O R P I U S?'For ditching me to hang with your littleblondie?' she sneers (but l i t t l e boy, even though that hurts, you know she doesn't mean it)

'YES! Rose, I'm so, so, sosorry for e v e r y t h i n g. I should never have left youand Al for Tracey. She's notworth it. She never has been,' I say d e s p e r a t e l y (and even though you don't see it, little boy, but you're b r e a k i n g her heart)

She stares at me, then sits down and cries (and you're shocked, darling)

I slide next to her and l a u g h hollowly

'What a pair we make, huh?' I say to her, nonchalant (but little boy, you're so obviously not)

'I wish,' she mutters

'Rose?' I ask, c o n f u s e d (but c o m e o n little boy, you're hopeful too)

'Scorpius,' she sighs

'Do you ever wonder why your endless girls bother me so much?' she whispers (the honest answer is all the time, right boy?)

'No..but I hope,' I say (good on you, boy,

She looks at you and gasps.

'Do you- do you mean it?' she asks hopefully.

I nod, s u r p r i s e d that she maybesortakinda felt the same way

She smiled and I leaned towards her (easy does it, boy, take it easy)

And…

I

Kissed her

FINIS

So, what did you guys think of Tracey? BTW, the guy at the start, asking Rose to go with him was Al, and he wanted to go because he didn't want to watch Rose's heart break again, like it did every time she saw Scorp with a girl. Anyway, because this one wasn't really that good, I've decided to inflict more writing on you! I'm writing a story (next-gen) but I won't post the first chapter until I have written at least 3, maybe 4, because school is so hectic. However, I have ANOTHER project (I know, am I insane?) and I've decided to post one. It's a Next-Gen drabble series.

Sweet,
