Messing with your head. A/N: hello! I hope you enjoy this fic! I thought I'd bring a twist to the whole 'Scorpius-Rose' thing going on, so here it is.
DISCLAIMER: as much as I would LOVE to be, I am not JKR, unfortunately.
Scorpius. Scorpius malfoy. Three words to describe him? Stupid. Obnoxious. Jerk.
Popular with the girls, until the smarter ones see through him, but by then he's found another victim. I was a victim once, broke my heart...or at least I thought he had, at the time. Dad told me to stay away, and did I? Of course not. I did the absolute opposite.
2nd year. After the welcome feast at the start of the year.
"Rose! I missed you. I really did. I can't believe I lasted two whole months without you! I missed that pretty little smile and the way that light pink colour spreads through your cheeks when I do this" he kissed me on the nose, watching in satisfaction as I blushed, then continued with what he was saying, "anyway, as a welcome back gift, I got you this" he handed me a small black velvet box, with a silver ribbon tied around it, I took it and smiled, "don't open it yet, Rosie. Save it for later so when you open it you won't have to pretend that you love it for me." he smiled mischievously, kissed me on the cheek and ran to catch up with his friends.
I went to find my best friend, Amelia, who had walked on when Scorp caught up with me to give us time to talk. I found her standing around the corner with a guilty look on her face.
"you were listening to the whole conversation, weren't you?" I said.
"maybe..." she said playfully
"there wasn't anything to be heard anyway, Am, was there?" I said
"no, unfortunately there wasn't. What's up with that? I thought you were going to confront him about why he didn't write to you. All. Summer. ?" she asked
"well, you heard the conversation. He said he missed me. And he was really sweet about it. Aaand, he gave me this." I produced the small velvet box, and passed it to Amelia.
"oh, I can't wait to open it, even if it isn't for me!" she laughed, then said, "I wish I had a Scorpius. You lucky duck!"
"you weren't saying that on the train, when I told you he hadn't written, were you?" I said with a smirk.
"well, no. But he hadn't given you this then, had he?" she replied.
"no, he hadn't. Oh I can't wait to open it, let's get to our dorm." I said.
We made our way to the common room, Amelia said the password (popping newts), we entered, brushing past everyone until we got to our dorm, and plonked onto our beds. I shut the door and we tore open the box. Inside was a pair of Rose-petal shaped earrings, a locket in the shape of a heart with the letters "S&R" inscribed into it and a note, folded up really small. It read:
Rose,
Beautiful jewellery for a beautiful girl. Hope you enjoy, my sweet. You're worth it.
Scorp
"woah, that is a LOT of x's." said Amelia.
"yeah, I'm not even gonna try to count them. How sweet is he?" I said
"too sweet!" Am said jokingly
A/N: well, there's the first chapter. Hope you liked it! Any suggestions, comments etc. Review please! Also, if you feel like it, you can count the x's and tell me how many there are! Haha!
Thanks a million for reading!
