******************
-Get out of my head!-
Rose woke to the smell of bacon and a cold room. She forgot to close her window the night before because she was sending patronuses back and forth to Albus and Lily- her cousins. It was like a three-way conversation, and by the end, she was so tired she collapsed onto her bed like a rock and fell into a dreamless sleep.
"Yum" she thought as she shuffled out of bed and downstairs to where the smell of bacon grew stronger.
She was greeted by her mother Hermione and her annoying younger brother Hugo- the "Early Birds" of the family. Rose took after her father who was zombie-like in the morning. Most mornings she woke up in a grumpy mood. Today, that feeling was strengthened because she and her brother were leaving for Hogwarts and she was nowhere near ready!
"Merlin Hugo! What's wrong with you? You've eaten about 7 pieces of toast in 5 minutes!" Rose yelled. She was irritated easily in the mornings, and Hugo knew how to push her buttons well. Hugo eating her breakfast was one of her buttons- Rose loved eating; in fact, her cousin Lily would say Rose was a food nazi when it came to food.
"What's up with you? Why do you care how much toast I eat? If anything, you should be thankful I'm eating this fast so you can get to your precious Head's dorm- which, might I add- you have all to yourself! Why can't you just let me eat in peace? This year will be stressful enough without you telling me what to eat!" Hugo said, then left the kitchen- he didn't want to be anywhere near Rose in the morning.
When Rose had finished her breakfast of pancakes and ice-cream, she wondered upstairs to collect her things. She had packed her bags the night before, so all she needed to prepare was her outfit and some last-minute things.
She had chosen a rather slim-fitting day dress that her aunty Ginny had bought her for her birthday. She sat in front of her mirror contemplating how to wear her hair. She decided that she would leave her mass of curly, orangey-red hair down with a headband.
As she came downstairs with her bags Hugo snorted.
"Why are you all dressed up Rosie?" Her mother asked.
"I think we all know why, mum. It's because she's Head Girl and Thomas Parkinson is Head Boy, and she wants to try and get his attention! Isn't that right Rosie?" Hugo finished, in a perfect imitation of their mother.
"Actually, no." Rose said, in a small voice. "I've decided that I should start taking care in my appearance, because, let's face it mum- I'm not a kid anymore." Rose imagined giving herself a pat on the back- that was what she called skill. What a great save from an otherwise embarrassing moment on her part.
When the Weasley family arrived at platform 9¾ later that morning, they met up with the Potters just before they had to board the scarlet train.
"Shut up Hugo! Seriously Albus, you should be setting a good example, not annoying the crap out of Head Girl! I have the power to give you a month of detentions- don't tempt me!" screamed Rose, slapping Hugo on the arm and whacking Albus on the back of the head.
"Check this out Hugo "I'm Head Girl! I have the power to give you a month's worth of detentions"" said Albus in a fake imitation of Rose.
"Relax Rose; it's all just a bit of fun. Don't let him get to you." said her father Ron, although he was chuckling along with Uncle Harry and her cousins.
"Honestly, I don't see what's so funny about Rose falling over. It happens to everyone." said Hermione calmly.
"Yeah, just because… she happened to fall over in front of Scorpius Malfoy and her dress went up to her armpits… is nothing to laugh about!" cried Lily between fits of laughter.
Now, Rose was never one for crying in public and showing her emotions to the world, but even she started to get upset when her whole family was laughing at her expense.
"Could you just get over it already? It could have happened to anyone! We should be boarding the train now anyways. I have a meeting to get to!"
"Look at that! She's not even at Hogwarts yet and she's acting like she owns the place!" cried Hugo, who got a high-five from Lily and Albus, but upon receiving a glare from rose, he fell silent along with his cousins just as the boarding whistle blew.
"Right-io, let's hop to it then!" giggled Lily
"Yeah, let's jump on-board!" chuckled Ron
Once they were all on board, Rose, Albus and Lily parted with Hugo, and went in search of a compartment. The train as full of first years, their eyes full with excitement.
"In here Rose! I found an empty one! Finally, I was getting worried that we would have to stand the whole way!" said Lily, and with a glance back at Albus and Rose, she entered the compartment.
"Tell Lily I'll be right there, I just need to go and freshen up." said Rose, glancing at the vacant bathroom.
"Sure" replied Albus as he entered the compartment and sat opposite Lily.
As Rose walked down the train's long corridor, a movement from behind her caught her eye. She spun around and saw something that would most probably scar her for life- Scorpius Malfoy's legs entwined with some tart from sixth year in Hufflepuff.
Immediately, Rose kicked into Prefect mode.
\
"What do you think you're doing Malfoy? At least wait until you have a room for some privacy, I'm sure no one wants to see that!" sneered Rose, eyebrows up and wand out. By the time she finished what she said, the whole carriage was turned in their direction.
Well, the Hufflepuff girl sqwealed and tottered away, pulling her skirt down as she went.
"What's wrong Weasley? Jealous?" sneered Malfoy
"Oh, in your dreams." She said to Scorpius. To the people in the corridor, she screamed "Get back to your compartments please!" The people who were still looking their way shuffled off, and slowly, the crowd thinned and it was just her and Scorpius.
"Sometimes I need what only you can provide, Weasley.." said Scorpius
Rose blushed a deep red "whaa..?" what was this loser implying?
"Your absence. Now why can't you just sod off?? Wait...why are you looking at me like that? Ohh did you seriously think that I would even consider you that way? Don't flatter yourself, Weasley."
"Don't worry Malfoy, I know I'm not your type. I, for one, am not that easy." as Rose said that last part, she moved closer to Scorpius and whispered it into his ear- she found that technique worked when she wanted to piss people off.
Rose felt Scorpius' back stiffen with her close proximity. She knew he was uncomfortable – so was she, but she wanted to prove a point.
"You just can't get enough of me, can you Weasley? sneered Scorpius.
"Don't kid yourself, Malfoy" and with that, Rose turned on her heel and walked into the bathroom.
"What am I doing? I should have just given him a detention or taken some points or something! And I didn't! I just tried to piss him off!! What was I thinking?" Rose had just finished explaining her 'incident' with Malfoy, when the train stopped.
"Man! We're already here! That was quicker than I had thought! I still have to get changed!! Get out you lot, quickly!!" screamed Albus.
Rose and Lily were still laughing when they reached the great hall.
"Where are you meant to be sitting? Can you still sit at the Gryffindor table with me and Al? Or do you have to sit somewhere else? After all, there's no Head Boy this year, so it's just you." asked Lily.
"I dunno. I guess I'll just sit with you guys unless someone tells me otherwise." replied Rose.
Rose and Lily found their seats at the Gryffindor table and joined in a heated debate about the Chuddley Cannons.
"Ugh! I'm so sick of Quidditch talk! You people have no lives!" said Lily rather loudly. Just about everyone contributing to the conversation, and everyone listening in, all turned to look at Lily, who suddenly became rather flushed and excused herself to the bathroom.
Suddenly, the hall erupted with whispers. Albus had walked into the Great hall, followed by Scorpius and Hagrid.
Rose gasped. Both boys were bruised and bloody. Rose stood up and ran over to Albus who was hunched over at the First year's end of the Gryffindor table. All the First year's made some room for him and Rose heard them whispering as she made her way over to him. "He's Harry Potter's son!" she heard one boy say. "Do you think I could ask for an autograph?" said another First year.
Once Rose had reached Albus, she helped him over to where Lily and the rest of her friends were sitting.
"Ohmygosh! What's happened Al? What did he …?" asked Lily with a grimace towards the Slytherin table.
Lily had no chance to finish her sentence because the Seventh year Slytherins began to applaud Scorpius Malfoy who slowly sauntered past Rose and Lily, over to the Slytherin table.
"Oi! Carm down you lot! This is no laughin ma-er!" screamed Hagrid who with a glance at Professor McGonnigal proceded to leave the Great hall.
"Quiet down please! I SAID QUIET DOWN, SLYTHERIN TABLE!!!" Professor McGonnigal screamed shrilly. "It has been a long night for all of us, now first years please follow your prefects to your common rooms…"
As Professor McGonnigal finished giving her directions to the prefects, the first, second, third and fourth years had cleared the Great hall. Rose glared at Scorpius Malfoy. Their eyes locked- green with grey- and he started laughing. She wanted to hit him, to punch him in the mouth for what he did to Albus. Still keeping eye contact, she stood up, and so did he. Silence filled the hall- every sixth and seventh year were turned to face the two rivals "What are they doing?" Rose heard a sixth year ask.
"Don't do anything stupid!" said Hugo. This was then seconded by Albus.
Slowly, they walked towards each other- staring the other one down.
They both met up between the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tables. He looked quizzically at her and she felt like snapping right there and then, but instead, she only said one word: "Malfoy."
"Weasley." replied Scorpius
Rose gave Scorpius her best glare, then turned and left the hall. She had to block out Scorpius Malfoy. She knew that if she didn't, then she would snap and she'd do something drastic which could compromise her position as Head Girl.
****
"Excuse me! Sorry! Pardon me!" said Rose as she shoved through the clump of students filling the corridor. She was going to be late to her meeting with Professor McGonnigal about who the Head Boy would be. She was curious to know who the Professor has picked. As she jogged up the stairs, she bumped into someone and dropped her books. "Here, let me" said a voice from behind her. She didn't look up to see who it was at first, but when she did, the first thing she saw were two grey eyes. Then the same deep voice that was kind just a few moments before had morphed into heavy sarcasm.
"Weasley are these yours? My mistake, I thought you were someone worth helping. You know you look quite different from behind…" he said.
"I didn't know anyone could be that pathetic. It must be some kind of disorder." growled Rose, who was just too tired to make an effort.
"Oops! My apologies" said Scorpius in mock apology as he dropped the books he had picked up just a moment before.
His next actions caused Rose to gasp. He opened the door to Professor McGonnigal's office and walked in. just as he closed the door, rose heard his muffled voice. "Sorry I'm late professor. I was… caught-up."
"No, No, No, No, No, NOOOO!! This could not be happening!" thought Rose. "That twat! That pathetic lowlife is NOT Head Boy!!! This is sooo not going to end well!!"
At the back of her mind – the part that wasn't going into hysterics – Rose has an epiphany. Scorpius didn't know! He had no idea that Rose was Head girl! "Well," she thought "this will be an … interesting year.
****
"Ah Miss Weasley, how nice of you to join us." said Professor McGonnigal.
Rose glanced subtly at Scorpius as she sat down. "If someone was trying to blow someone's head up using only their mind, then that's the face you would make." thought Rose. He was glaring at her. She felt uncomfortable, but tried not to show it. She wouldn't let him get to her.
"Now Rose, Scorpius here will be the new Head Boy. Him items are already placed in the Head's Dorm and you will be holding a meeting with the Prefects tomorrow night. You have until then to make up a roster. Sorry for the late notice, it would've worked out nicely if Thomas were still attending Hogwarts.
"Yes, I agree" said Rose, rather lifelessly. She was still in shock, but at east she had time to process this before she walked into the office, which was the least she could say for Scorpius. He was sitting there, just starring at her as if he had lasers for eyes.
The rest of the "meeting" was a bit of a blur to rose. She was caught up in her thoughts too much to pay attention to what the Teacher was saying.
"Thank you both for coming." said the Professor at the end of the meeting. Rose and Scorpius stood and then left in silence. Once they had left the office, Scorpius sped off in front of Rose and entered the Head's Dorm.
****
Rose had gone from shocked to frustrated. His mere breath was enough to aggravate her.
She felt like screaming and fighting with someone- like picking a fight. And she knew who her victim would be.
Scorpius had avoided her as much as possible. He was standing in the doorway of his room when Rose walked up to him. "Hi" she said with mock happiness.
"What do you want?" Scorpius replied, clearly bored.
"This is going to be awkward isn't it? Me… You…" She said.
"Not really. I'm not attracted to you at all. As long as we keep our distance, I'll be fine- that's the least I can say for you." He sneered
"What if I became attractive? What then?" she said, a seductive tone entering her voice.
"That could never happen. Ever." He said bluntly.
"Let's see, shall we?" She said innocently.
"If we must." said Scorpius with a roll of his eyes.
"I think I forgot to give you something on the train…" as she spoke, she closed the distance between her and Scorpius until she was inches from his face.
"And what would that be, Weasley?" gulped Scorpius, he was starting to get nervous- Rose had never acted like this before. She knew what it looked like, but it was something different altogether. She had to stand on her tip-toes to reach his ear, and when she did, he flinched but stayed where he was.
"I'm going to punch you so hard your face will go numb" whispered Rose in her most seductive voice "and when I'm done, I'm going to sit on you and hurt you so much you'll be crying for your mother." She said
"Oh feisty!" said Malfoy quite loudly with sarcasm. But when he leaned down, he put his hands on her hips and whispered in his meanest voice "you just try, Weasley!"
"I don't think you understand." And with that, Rose took a step back and punched Scorpius as hard as she could in the jaw.
He let out a groan and fell to the floor. Satisfaction filled Rose, but she wasn't finished with him yet. She sat on him and began to punch him repeatedly in the face. Suddenly, he seized her fists and held them in his iron grip.
"Let. Me. Go!" seethed Rose, trying - in vain - to free herself.
"That's not going to work on me this time Weasley! – you have to beg." laughed Scorpius, who seemed to find the situation somewhat amusing.
Rose pulled against Scorpius' iron-clad grip on her hands.
She pulled so hard that she ended up falling on top of Scorpius who let out a groan.
"Ugh! Now look what you made me do!! I told you to let me go!!" cried Rose.
"And you just expect me to let you go after you punched me? The world doesn't revolve around you, Rose! You can't always get what you want!" screamed Scorpius.
He tried to get out from underneath her to no prevail. He accidentally spun around and now he was in a very awkward position on top of her!
"I…I… you're really heavy! You're hurting me!" groaned Rose, who was a little embarrassed at his position, but she ignored it and focused on freeing herself.
Just then, they both heard the door to the Dorm open and both froze.
By this time, they had rolled themselves into Scorpius' room and were on the floor.
Rose felt Scorpius freeze and they both turned their heads towards the bedroom doorway. Quick thinking lead rose to stick out her foot and close the door gently.
"Rose? Scorpius? Are you in here? Obviously not, I'll just have to schedule a meeting during one of their classes' then." said Professor McGonnigal, and with that, she left the Dorm.
"what the hell is wrong with you Weasley?" screamed Scorpius
"Hey! I closed the door! If it weren't for my quick thinking we would have been caught in this… compromising position, which by the way, you're crushing my pelvis!"
"good! You deserve it! If it weren't for your stupid thinking we wouldn't have been in this mess in the first place!" he shouted.
The adrenalin and anger evaporated instantly.
"I… I have no idea what just came over me!" Rose chuckled.
"Hmmm…. It's strange you should say that, because I was about to come over to you and pick a fight. I guess you beat me to it." said Scorpius with a chuckle.
"Ohh crap!! This guy's heavy! It really hurts! Don't cry, don't cry" thought Rose, but she couldn't hold it in any longer. She started squirming and was about to start sobbing.
"Geez! Lighten up would you? Most girls would kill to be in your position!"
"I bet you don't put all your weight on those girls! You're squashing my stomach!"
By the time she finished her sentence, he had sprung off her and left the room, leaving Rose lying on the floor in wonder. "Fine, just leave then! You're probably ashamed because I beat you up!" she was really working herself up again. All her fury and hate towards Malfoy came rushing back. "From now on," she thought "I'm keeping my distance from him as much as possible! Dare I say it again- this is proving to be an interesting year."
Rose wasn't yet to find out just how much of an interesting year it would be!
