I'm NOT Cute

"Morning Rosie."

"Hey."

Rose sat beside Al the moment she arrived at the Gryffindor table.

"You have a letter," Al said just as she ate her breakfast.

"Who is it from?" asked Rose.

Al shrugged as Rose took the letter and read it.

"Al, I'm stopping by the Owlery. You don't have to wait. I'll just meet you in class at nine,"Rose informed Al who nodded and stood, taking her leave.

Taking the air towards the Owlery, Rose looked at the time.'8:10 hmm, I'll compose the letter in there, short and fast.'

Rose walked to the entrance and stopped as she saw a figure with platinum blonde hair. It was- 'Scorpius Malfoy. Who else would have those platinum blonde hair and sparkling gray eyes-wait, sparkling?'

Rose was rather taken aback seeing Malfoy's sparkling eyes when they are usually dull or bored. Not that she looks at him or anything. They were partners in potions last year. They don't hate each other, but they are not friends. They are more of acquaintances and are civilized with each other. But his eyes were not the only reason she was taken aback.

'He's smiling,' Rose thought with a smile, 'and feeding the owls, completely oblivious of his surroundings...'

"Hey there Peg. That sounds weird. Why would they name you 'Peg'? It's near to 'Pig'. Though you eat like a pig..." He rambled and chuckled stroking the white owl while feeding him.

He thought he heard a chuckle from behind, but chose to ignore it. But he froze when he heard-

"...How cute." Rose continued her thoughts aloud but came as a mumble.

Rose was surprised to see a Malfoy blush. He was red. He turned slowly and blushed even more seeing the redhead.

"Um... Hi?" Rose choked out nervously.

"Weasley," Scorpius nodded composedly but still flushing.

Rose nodded awkwardly and went to do her letter and mail it quickly to avoid the tension. The awkward tension was even improving. Just as she was leaving, Scorpius spoke up or more like mumbled.

"I'm not cute."

"Sorry, what?"

"I'm NOT cute." He sighed and embarrassingly glared at her, flushed.

"Sure you are," Rose said teasingly, then blushed surprised at her speech. 'Damn this Weasley blush!'

They reddened even more. The awkward tension was killing them.

Rose broke the tension saying "Um...Yeah. Bye". Rose turned around wanting to run. Still blushing from the past moments.

"Yeah..." Scorpius who was still blushing managed to choke out.

Rose ran down the stairs. 'Ahhhhh! How embarrassing!'

Rose plopped at a bench thinking about the 'moment' and blushed even more.

'He smiled AND blushed... How cute.'

Scorpius stared at Rose leaving. He bends his knees and dropped on the floor. He was staring at the floor still processing what had happened.

'Gods! Kill me now. Weasley saw me blush! Malfoys aren't supposed to blush.'

Peg approached Scorpius hooting and trying to get his attention. He looked up and gave a smile.

"Hey Peg... I'm not cute, am I?"
