Where Rose Takes Matters Into her Own Hands
So-
So, yeah
Ummm…. How was the test?
Transfiguration?
Yeah
It was good
Mmm
Yours?
Hmmm… what?
Test? Yours? How was it?
Oh. It was good
It was?
Yeah, that's what I said
Right
So...Yeah.
I'll be going then?
Yeah.
Bye then!
Bye.
…
WAIT! ROSE!
Yeah?
I'll…. I'll walk you to the library
You know where I'm going?
You're my best friend
How does that explain how you know where I'm going?
You're my best friend; therefore, I know where you like to spend your time
Ah!
Hmmm…
So, that explains it.
Yep.
…
Have you asked someone to the Yule Ball yet?
No
Anyone asked you yet?
No, you?
No, not the girl I want.
And who is she?
Why hasn't anyone asked you?
You didn't answer my question.
You didn't answer mine.
What was yours?
Why hasn't anyone asked you?
Okay… Lysander has…
And?
I said no
Why?
I didn't want to go with him
Why not
I don't like him… like that
So go with him as friends, why don't you?
I have someone in mind, I wish he'd ask
Who is it?
Too many question, you answer mine first- why haven't you asked anyone yet? None of the girls good enough for you?
Err… no. I mean they are… but I don't know whether the girl I want to ask will say yes. As not friends.
Who is she?
Who is he?
Who?
The bloke you wish would ask you?
Oh… him… yeah he's amazing.
Right. Do I know him?
You might, I think.
Oh…
Who's she?
Oh…her yeah, she's amazing.
You just said what I said.
Well she is amazing.
Hey, no need to get defensive.
I know, its not like she'll say yes.
Who is she?
Just the most wonderful perfect girl anyone could ever imagine.
Oh. She's lucky that you like her so much.
Hilarious, you are, Rose.
I'm serious.
Well, she's out of my league. So no use pining for her.
Come on give it a go, she might say yes.
I'll think about it.
Promise?
Yeah, I guess.
Good.
So- who's the bloke?
I told you- he's amazing.
I figured that! I meant what's he like?
He's sweet, handsome and very smart.
That's easy- so he's either me, Al or Lorcan.
Hmmm… I guess, the broad category would comprise you three.
Well, it isn't Al.
'Course not! He's my cousin!
So its Lorcan! Lysander must be heartbroken, or at least he will be once he finds out!
How do you know it isn't you?
….
Hypothetically
Yeah, of course, hypothetically. I dunno, we argue a lot, we're rivals, I know you inside out and I'm your best friend.
That's all I am to you?
Yeah. What else? My closest, dearest, most trustable, most fun, prettiest friend.
Aww… that's sweet of you.
It's the truth!
So, who is she? Can't trust me?
Of course I can! It's just that…
Just that you think I'll go tell her? I won't. Though that might just help, you know.
No! Its just that you might not- might not be okay with it.
Why? Is it one of those idiots who think I get my marks 'cause of who my parents are? Even if it's them, it's okay. If you like her, she must be nice!
It isn't.
Well, that's a relief then.
Its-its-
Who?
You-your-
My friend? Dorm mate? Alice?
No, Rose. It's you.
…
I was right. You are out of my league. I'll see you later, then. When the awkwardness has worn off.
…
Yeah, I'll be going then. Bye.
WAIT!
Yeah? Don't hex me, please! I'm sorry.
No. its just- its just that the guy I wish would ask me-
Yeah?
Well, its- its Scorpius Malfoy.
Oh. Oh, right then. Yeah. Him.
You twit! You're Scorpius Malfoy!
Oh yeah! Wait- what? You like me?
Isn't it obvious?
Not really.
Well, it's you.
I… err… wow!
So? Will you ask me, or shall I ask you?
Ask what?
Oh, Merlin! I guess I'll have to do it myself, seeing as you're flabbergasted as of right now.
Umm…
Scorpius Malfoy- will you go to the Yule Ball with me?
Yes. Of course!
Yeah. Ummm. So that's done with.
….
Scorpius? Scorp? You okay? You look a bit pale.
Yeah. I'm okay.
Sure?
Yeah.
All right.
MERLIN'S PANTS! I'M GOING TO THE YULE BALL WITH ROSE WEASLEY!
Shush! We're in the library.
Yeah. Sorry, had to let that out! I can't believe how lucky I am.
Oh, shut up, you!
Well, since we're at the library, I shall take my leave of you, milady. See you at seven? At the Portrait Hole?
Yeah, see you at the Ball.
Bye Rose.
Bye Scorpius.
…
Scorp?
Yeah?
I really like you.
Me too. Err… I mean a really like you too!
Umm… I know that we haven't really gone on our first date or anything, but-
…
I've really wanted to do that for a long time.
Wow!
Yeah. See you at seven!
Yeah. Seven… Portrait Hole… Ball…
