These Things We Have in Common
I.
she's a rebel.
It's the way she walks.
(A 'fuck you' in every step, devil-may-care, mismatched socks up to pale thighs, down to battered hi-tops.)
It's the way she moves her head.
(Followed by the darting swish of crazy-curly red hair, hair that is an untamable mess of streaky colours for all but one month in fifth year when it was straight and shiny and wrong.)
It's the way she talks.
(A sideways drawl that sweeps you up and drops you down with the realization that you're talking to a girl smarter than you'll ever be, who's smarter without even trying.)
It's the way she smiles.
(Sharp and witty and sly like her tongue, but then, suddenly, unexpectedly, sweet and honest and so full of that knowing, understanding look -)
It's the way she sits in class.
(Feet tangled into impossible pretzel-like twists under her, hair semi-tamed for once into a massive bun studded with pencils - she's such a muggle - twirling her quill, torn between learning and watching the window, lips pursed, oh-so-wide eyes fixed on the horizon, then flicking back to McGonagall.)
It's the way she stands.
(Stock-still, bag slung across her shoulder, hands tucked into belts or pockets, looked pointedly away, not letting anyone close, fragile façade on too-pale skin)
It's the way she looks at you.
(-through you. The only one who meets your eyes, the only one who catches your bluff and calls you on it with one amused little glance, a raised eyebrow. Nice try, darling. I know all your tricks, she seems to say.)
He hated her the moment he saw her.
three-shot coming up! this little story has been plaguing my over-stressed mind... in my mind, i see Rose's hair like Rebecca Naomi Jones'...not sure why =]. Though, of course, properly Weasley red. If you want more Rose/Scorpius, the next chap of Besame is their's.
