Never Ever
"I will never ever like Scorpius Malfoy!" Rose Weasley squealed to the entire Gryffindor Tower, so loudly it would not have surprised anyone present if the sound traveled all the way to the dungeons where the first year Slytherin could hear the declaration. "I repeat, never ever."

Rose Weasley was eating her words now, six years later. As a seventh year, and Head Girl she was supposed to set an example of unity between houses by sharing a dormitory common room with the Head Boy Scorpius Malfoy. Her problem arose from her heart's decision to completely deviate from her mind's unamendable declaration some years earlier.
She should have known better, her mother had taught her to never say never, because a person can't be certain of the future. Rose adamantly believed in that uncertainty of the future—and steered clear of Divination throughout Hogwarts. So her childish use of never ever should never have left her lips. Because if that had been so, she wouldn't have to regret those words now.
Now, as she became lost in daydreams every time Scorpius entered the room. Now, as she flushed bright red every time he touched her, either accidental or purposeful. Now, as she felt she would swoon every time he smiled at her. Now, as she felt her heart flutter every time her name passed his lips.
Now, as Rose decided that if Scorpius ever gave her the time of day or showed any sign of returning her feelings, she would never ever say never again.
