Rose's POV
I glanced across the great hall at him; he was sitting there, acting all innocent, like he hadn't just kissed me.
I was sitting at the Gryffindor house table trying to remind myself that's where I belong but all I could think about was standing up, marching right over to the Slytherin table and kissing him back like I should've done when he kissed me.
After another few minutes of staring; long enough for McGonagall to get halfway through her welcome speech, I found myself standing up and I began to move towards where he was sitting, in my head I knew I shouldn't but my heart was making me.
A few more steps and I saw that he had stood and was beginning to walk towards me; we met halfway between our tables right between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and our lips met too.
Scorpious's POV
I'd been watching her stare out of the corner of my eye, I knew she must hate me, I shouldn't have kissed her.
I shouldn't have talked to her at all, been near her at all, it was stupid and wrong and I felt awful.
I knew she must want to hit me, hex me until I began to bleed but some part of me still held out the mad hope that she wanted to kiss me again as bad I wanted to kiss her.
That's why when I saw her stand I stood too, I knew that she was probably coming over to tell me off in front of the whole school but something in her eyes made me start to walk towards her.
By the time we met all eyes were on us, all eyes were always on her so I doubt she noticed but I did but the moment our lips touched and she threw her arms around my neck I didn't care that there were teachers and Slytherins and Gryffindors looking on; all I cared about was holding onto her for as long as I could.
When we finally broke apart she was smiling and the rest of the school was frowning except for a few Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs that were whooping or giggling.
Rose's POV
I knew that everyone was staring at us but I just kept my eyes on him, I don't think I had ever smiled that big.
He was smiling back but he looked more bewildered than anything, I hugged him once more and then led him to a place next to my friend Marcie at the Hufflepuff table.
"Leo and Kate have nothing on you." Marcie said with a wink as she shoved her friends apart to make room for us.
I didn't say anything, I just grinned at her and leaned against Scorpious as McGonagall resumed her speech as though nothing had happened.
Scorpious's POV
As McGonagall started talking again I looked down at Rose's mess of fiery red curls I couldn't help but smile, not as mad a hope as I had thought.
"Seriously though, I think McGonagall nearly cried." It was Rose's friend, I think her name started with an M, she was sitting on Rose's right.
"Really, I thought she had to have something her eye, McGonagall never shows emotion." It was the girl on my left, I had absolutely no clue who she was but I really couldn't have cared less.
"Oh hush." This time the person who spoke was a first year sitting across the table smiling in a sappy way, "It was romantic and even the Cat couldn't have not shown some emotion."
The table went quiet as everyone listened to the Headmistresses speech with unusual attention.
