Yay! This the newest installment of the ice cream chronicles! I actually had the prompt for ice cream this time!
"Hey Rosie, I know you love all ice cream but, what's your favorite flavor?" Scorpius asked out of bored curiosity, hanging upside down of the couch in the Gryffiondor common room, unmanly blonde hair just barely brushing the floor. The two fifth years were playing exploding snap with Albus, until he bailed on them to go flirt with some girl in James's year. Some friend he is.
"Chocolate. Merlin, I'm not stupid." Rose replied immediately, munching on the chocolate frog she brought down from her room. She was sad that she didn't have any ice cream.
"I didn't know ice cream could tell someone's intelligence." Scorpius replied amused. This was turning out to be quite the Christmas break... Snowball fights, songs (most of which from a certain movie made by Disney), snowmen and snow-dragons and snow turtles, and prank wars with James and Fred (sadly, but not surprisingly, they lost after Rose's hair was turned blue, neon blue). Hermione was livid.
They've ran out of things to do and it was only their third day there!
"Well it does, chocolate is for the smartest people, peach and mint tie for the dumbest people. And that puts you near the bottom of the list with sherbet." She deadpanned.
"How did you kn-" he began just to be interrupted by Rose.
"Please, I know almost everything about ice cream. And I know a great deal about you too."
"Okay, what are my favourite colours?"
"Red and silver."
"Number?"
"Nine."
"Person?"
Rose scoffs knowing her answer is totally true but he won't admit it. "Duh, me."
"No, my little sister. Book?"
"First, you don't have a little sister. You don't have any siblings at all, never mind a little sister. Second, Hogwarts: a history." She answered, knowing her answer was wrong.
"Ah-ha! That's two wrong! You don't know my favorite book! Its this muggle!"
"Ah... Why do have to say it so formally? Never mind..." As she said this James chimed in ,"Not minding!" from where he was flirting with unsaid girl... Its this thing they've been doing for awhile now... (Since my last fanfic...)(the not minding thing, not the flirting with unsaid girls...)(I'm just gonna get back to narrating now...)
"Shut up you arse! Let's go do something fun!" She exclaimed excitedly, turning back to Scorpius.
Twenty-two minutes later they were sitting atop the astronomy tower looking at the forbidden forest, pondering which teachers were involved in a relationship with each other. They were now at madam Pince and Mr Filch when Rose fell asleep out of no where. Scorpius continued to talk to her, until he realized that she was out of it. He got to his feet, picked her up, and carried her to the common room.
Once he put her on the most comfortable red couch in the common room, she suddenly woke up with a start, and continued to talk to him, right at the exact place they were at when she fell asleep.
"So... Four Galleons worth of ice cream if you can guess what two people I'm thinking of that would make a great couple."
"... Er... Weren't you just asleep?"
"What? No, I was talking to you this whole time... Hey, how'd we get back from the tower?"
Author's note; Okay... And um... This was written for the amateur divination challenge "what's your favorite ice cream flavor?"
