So this is a RoseXScorpious tale about thier time at Hogwarts and beyond maybe, Of course we all know who they belong to! So here goes. Enjoy!
ROSE'S P.O.V.
Eventually my eyes opened. Was it a dream?
No it most certainly wasn't, he was sat right next to me, his eyes full of concern.
I had been dancing with him. I hadn't said a word to him and I couldn't bring myself to move away from him.
As I lifted my head off his shoulders my face felt relieved I was about to lift the mask off my face. But then he would know who I am. I stopped myself from doing so.
Nevertheless it was too late.
SCORPIOUS' P.O.V
She groaned as she sat up about to lift the mask off her face. I could see the lines where the mask had dug into her skin and temporarily etched marks in red. I help lift the mask of her face.
Rose Weasley's face.
So that was who Albus had partnered me up with. That was who I'd danced with. That was who hadn't spoken a word with me that evening. That was the mesmerising, mystery girl under the mask.
"Rose Weasley?" I whispered. It wasn't meant to be so loud and it wasn't meant to sound accusing.
She looked at me horrified. As thought I'd done something inexcusable.
ROSE'S P.O.V.
He'd taken the mask off my face and my identity was revealed. He knew.
His expression was unreadable. Mixed emotions were displayed on his face.
I felt scared. Immediately I stood up. "I'm really so sorry. I need to go". I ran out of the room.
SCORPIOUS' P.O.V.
What was I doing sat here?
I ran down the dimply lit corridors following her footfalls, eventually I caught up to them. My vision had adjusted to the darkened room and I could see her trying to get away.
ROSE'S P.O.V.
His footsteps came quicker and louder. He pulled me back towards him "Wait." He pushed me against the wall and placed his hands either side of me blocking any attempt of escaping. "Why do you hate me?"
"Huh me? I could ask you the same question", she replied accusingly; as though I'd done something wrong to make her hate me. She looked straight at me, waiting for an answer.
"Yes you. Why do you hate me so much?" he asked quietly. His face full of concern.
"Why do you hate me ?" She asked.
"Who said I hated you? I have never said that I did?" He replied honestly.
"Your actions spoke louder than you ever did. Yet you accuse me of hating you. How dare you judge me! You don't even know me! You only know my name for Merlin's sake."
I continued to stare at him taking in what he was saying. It was true. But his actions implied he hated me. Or did he hate me? But I'd already asked and he'd answered truthfully.
I didn't want to admit he was right, I wanted to run. But that option didn't exist since he had his arms placed either side of me, clearly indicating he wanted something before I was to be 'dismissed'.
My silence urged him to speak even more. "And yes, you're right I don't know you. And if you accept maybe we could change that."
"Unless you really do hate me." He joked, but his face was serious.
SCORPIOUS' P.O.V.
"And what if I do?" She asked me. What was I supposed to say?
"Are you admitting you do hate me?"I asked, wanting to know once and for all if she did hate me or didn't hate me.
"No. I was just merely suggesting what my answer could be" she replied smartly. I sighed quietly in relief.
ROSE'S P.O.V.
I heard the whisper of his relieved sigh. Was I meant to hear it? Was he bluffing?
I turned to look at him again. His eyes were closed.
But he seemed genuine. Maybe we had misunderstood each other. Maybe the rumours and whispers and stories we'd heard had given us negative first impressions of each other maybe we, ourselves should make our own impressions and sweep aside our prejudices.
"That's your choice, no matter what it is, I will accept it" he said as he opened his eyes.
"Will you?" I asked.
SCORPIOUS' P.O.V.
I needed to know. I didn't know her but I needed an answer. What was wrong with me?
We stood looking at each other.
Searching for something. Something I didn't know I was looking for.
Suddenly, Involuntarily I leaned in towards her.
ROSE'S P.O.V.
I stood petrified as his lips brushed mine. Just brushed. A tingle shivered through me. I closed my eyes.
I didn't move. I didn't push him away.
SCORPIOUS' P.O.V.
She didn't push me away, just stood there breathing. As our lips brushed, (I didn't kiss her It didn't feel like the right thing to do – yet, I was going to but I didn't, I just wanted to know if she hated me) I felt her head incline a little then back. Did that mean she didn't hate me? Was it a sign?
I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes. I dropped my right arm allowing her an opportunity to escape. But she didn't move.
And then she did the unexpected, our lips were so close I felt her lips open.
She kissed me. Just the once. That was enough for me. She didn't hate me!
ROSE'S P.O.V.
I didn't know what to do, I was, admittedly, inexperienced with this relationship thing, but it felt right. I kissed him, just once on the lips. I felt my cheeks burn.
And then he moved closer towards me and kissed me back, and that was enough for me. For now.
And now I knew, at least he didn't hate me. It was all just prejudices and misunderstandings.
As his warm body pressed me against the wall my upper half bare back felt the iced wall. I shrieked.
"I'm sorry" he apologised, thinking it was his fault I shrieked (well it kind of was).
I looked at the floor in embarrassment "cold wall", I very briefly explained.
"Oh".
SCORPIOUS' P.O.V.
She shook her head as she looked at me. "I'm sorry I need to go", she said as she backed up the corridor slowly, "I'm sorry", she repeated. She ran up the corridor. This time I didn't follow. I watched her run and disappear into the darkness followed by the sound of her heels hitting the stone floors echoing until she was gone.
