Jump Then Fall Songfic Rose/Scorpius
Hey! Guess who owns Harry Potter? Not me.
I also don't own this song, or anything in this fic. (Except for Anna and Cedric, but I don't think anyone would want them anyway)
I like the way you sound in the morning
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound
I have ever heard
"I miss you"
His pale, pointed face -the only thing about him similar to his
father- paused in pulling back out of the flames
"It's only two more weeks, Rosie. Then we'll be back at Hogwarts-and
you can try to push me off my broom again"
" Hey! That was an ACCIDENT!" the tall girl retorted, brushing a
fiery red curl out of her eyes.
" if you had been fast enough, it wouldn't have happened at all. "
He laughed at that, and started saying something else, but all Rose
could think was that Scorpius Malfoy had the best laugh she'd ever
heard.
I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk, you didn't notice
I hear the words, but all I can think is
We should be together
"and now we get to be prefects together!" This year will be great
Rosie, I'm telling you. By the way did I tell you about what my..."
The words blended together, and Rose grinned at him. Her best friend,
the chatterbox. As she stretched out on the seat in their compartment,
another thought came to her.
Always just her best friend though, she thought sadly, watching him
ramble on. We could be so much more-we should be so much more-
"And I'm thinking of asking Anna Thomas, because father-"
Wait. What?
"Asking her what? "
She snapped, falling quickly back to earth with an almost audible
thump.
"To the Ball, because I have to take someone, and I think she might
like me..."
He looked at her from under that golden fringe, and she forced herself
to smile
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
" That sounds great, Scorp. I think she likes you too. "
He grinned, and she couldn't help it-it was contagious. And Scorp was
her best friend. She would be there for him. Even if he was taking
slimy little Gryffindors to the Ball.
Whoa, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
"Rose, you look great!"
"Really?" Rose said nervously, smoothing the dark blue dress robes
she'd chosen for the Ball.
" Absolutely. " Her cousin James replied. " Longbottom is a lucky guy. "
He turned to glare at poor Frank Longbottom, who was waiting by the
door.
"As long as he doesn't do ANYTHING to my baby cousin, that is."
Rose groaned. " C'mon James, lighten up already. Let's go Frankie, I
can't wait to get away from this git"
James stuck his tongue out at her, and steered them into the Great
Hall. "You kids go have fun...oh. Wow, the little ferret got what he
deserved"
Anna Thomas was quite openly snogging Cedric Maclaggen.
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
'Cause I'm gonna stay through it all
So jump then fall
Everyone else was looking at the couple eating each other's faces in the
middle of the dance floor, but Rose's eyes sought out Scorp. He was
standing to one side, holding two Butterbeers, a crumpled, hurt
expression on his face. Pushing the Butterbeers onto a Ravenclaw
standing next to him, he ran from the Hall-and Rose followed.
She found him in an unused classroom, sitting on a desk.
Scorp? "
He didn't look up.
"You saw that then?"
"Oh, Scorp... she sat next to him, hugging him gently.
"I would never do that. I'd NEVER leave you." she whispered into his
hair.
"What? Rose, what could you ever like about me? I'm just your stupid
hidden best friend"
He still wouldn't meet her eyes, looking instead at the trail of her
robes.
"Well, I like the way your hair falls in your face" he looked through
his hair, which was currently doing just that.
"You got the keys to me, I love each freckle on your face"
His freckles. His father hated them, because they "marred his perfect
Malfoy face, but Rose thought they were perfect.
"Oh, I've never been so wrapped up, honey
I like the way you're everything I ever wanted"
"But your family? The rest of the school? If we can't even be
FRIENDS..."
I had time to think it over
And all I can say is come closer
Take a deep breath and jump
Then fall into me
"I've thought it over. I'm willing to risk it-if you are"
She looked at him hopefully, and he hugged her fiercely, grinning.
"I thought you'd never ask"
'Cause every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
"I got in!"
Rose paused in talking to Al, and looked up. Scorpius was running
at her, grinning.
"I'm the new Keeper!" he exclaimed, picking her up and spinning her
around.
she gasped. That's great!
Whoa, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
'Cause I'm gonna stay through it all
So jump then fall
Rose! What are you DOING? That's a MALFOY! our ENEMY!
Al was furious.
Al...Scorp is my boyfriend.
"Well then break up with him!"
"Al!"
"Rose...if we're messing up your family...I-"
No, Scorp. Al, I'm staying with Scorpius. If you don't like it,
that's fine. "
Al was still glaring, but he knew better than to mess with a angry
Weasley.
Al, I know how you feel, but I care abot Rose. I won't hurt her- and I won't leave her"
Scorpius took her hand, and they walked away-together.
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
When people say things that bring you to your knees
I'll catch you
"Rose?"
Rose looked up, wiping at her eyes as she stood up shakily from the
library table.
Hey Scorp.
"Whats wrong?" he asked hugging her, then pulling back to look at her
face.
"Your eyes are all puffy...have you been crying?"
"It's-it's nothing." she whispered, sitting back down.
He sat across from her
"It doesn't look like nothing. Rose, tell me what happened."
"Hugo just said he's ashamed to be my brother. My whole family hates
me, it's only a matter of time before my parents find out, and-"
She stopped, took a deep breath, and finished.
I just got kicked off the team for dating a Malfoy.
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you though the night until you smile
Whoa oh, I need you baby
Don't be afraid please
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
She had never seen him so angry.
Your a Ravenclaw, Rose! What does it even matter?
And so are you. They'll hate anyone, Scorp. It doesn't matter what
House"
He pulled her onto his lap and just held her as she cried.
Finally, she smiled against his now damp shirt.
Love you, Scorp
She whispered,as she drifted off to sleep.
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me, too
'Cause I'm gonna stay through it all
So jump then fall
Jump then fall, baby
Jump then fall into me, into me, into me
"Love you too, Rosie. Love you too."
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine
And every time you're here, baby, I'll show you
I'll show you, you can
Jump then fall
Jump then fall
Jump then fall
Into me, into me
