Rose

"He's such a pain in my-"

"Uh uh, Rose. Language my dear cousin," James said, interrupting me with a barely noticeable smile on his face.

I glared at him. "He's such a pain in my life," I corrected myself. "Happy?"

"Very. Now I have to go. Date with Alexia." He stood up and brushed his robes off. "Please don't kill Scorpius while I'm gone. He happens to be my best friend."

I rolled my eyes and replied sarcastically. "I'll try." James left, but I doubt he was satisfied with my answer.

Scorpius Malfoy is the most insufferable guy in my year. He's a horrible person whom I've hated since I've ever laid eyes on him. Tall, blond hair, pale skin, amazing grey eyes that you could get lost in.....So maybe, he's really cute. Looks have nothing to do with his personality. He'll always be a jerk.

Scorpius

I groaned in frustration. "Why does she have to be so bloody dense? I hate her!"

My study partner looked up from across the table. "You know, I never got the two of you. It's only been three years since we've been at Hogwarts. How could you guys possibly hate each other already?" My so-called friend, John Goyle, asked while flipping through a Herbology book.

"Our parents hated each other when they were our age. It runs in the blood, I suppose. Besides, I hate the fact that Weasley thinks she's better than me," I said.

"But aren't you best friends with her cousin? James, I think his name is."

"That's not the point here! James is nothing like her. James is a friendly Ravenclaw. Weasley is a know-it-all Gryffindor who deserves to be sent to Azakaban."

"Yeah, yeah. You're probably the only person in the whole school who thinks that. But since it is Christmas, one would think you guys would take a break! All you and Rose do is fight."

I sighed. Nobody could understand this. Not even my own friends! Weasley will always be that girl who loves to annoy me. Even if she is the cutest girl in my year. Her curled red hair that has brown streaks. Her gorgeous hazel eyes. Her amazing smile that-- Oi. I'm losing my mind.

"Got your head in a book again? Scared I'll get better marks than you? Is that why you're studying so hard?" I taunted with the trademark Malfoy smirk on my face.

Rose ignored me but a slight flush appeared on her face. Good. She was angry.

I continued. "Or maybe it's simply the fact that you've got nothing better to do. We all know that you think you're too good for the rest of us."

I watch happily as she slams her book shut. We were now walking towards the Great Hall. The walls were decorated with garlands that had mistletoe hanging from it every few yards. Rose and I carefully avoided those.

Rose

"Too good for you? You're the one who thinks you're the king just because you're a Malfoy!" I shook my head in disbelief. Where did this guy come from?

"And you act like you're the untouchable because you're the daughter of Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger! A traitor and a mudblood."

"My parents saved your fathers life, you ungrateful jerk." I hissed out, struggling to remain calm.

He stopped abruptly and I did the same. "Listen up bookworm. You can call me a jerk all you want. But don't ever call me ungrateful. Understood?"

"Do you honestly think I would take orders from you?"I asked, turning to leave…and finding that I couldn't. "What did you do Malfoy? Take off whatever spell you put on me."

He groaned. "It's a spell alright. But I didn't place it."

"What?"

He simply pointed upwards.

I looked.

Freakin' stupid green plant.

"Why me?" I murmured.

Scorpius lifted an eyebrow. "You know, most girls from our year would die to be in your place."

"Then I guess I'm not like most girls," I snapped. "Can I seriously help it if I'm not incredibly stupid enough to fall for the biggest jerk who ever- MMPH!"

Scorpius Malfoy is kissing me! Pull away, Rose. Before he…Oh God, his lips are soft. I stepped closer. Wait! No! I must not give into his charms…Oh forget it.

Scorpius

I was surprised when Rose, my archenemy since the moment we laid eyes on each other, actually put her arms around my neck. She didn't even try to push me away!

One of my hands was holding her waist while the other found its way to her soft reddish brown curls.

Maybe Rose Weasley isn't so bad after all…

Thank God for that stupid green plant.

A/N-

Angel-Very short and cliché. Just to get you all warmed up for the larger one-shots to come.

Michelle-For the record, Myka is very good at bribing…R&R please.
