Rose/Scorpius Three-shot
Based on the Kurt/Blaine Storyline from Glee
This, to me, just seemed like something that would happen to this pair. I don't know why but I just got inspired. AmyFelton123
I stared at him from across the classroom, him in all his blonde, muscular, handsome glory. I watched him take off his jumper to reveal a gorgeously toned back to a few seconds, my mouth curved into a dreamy smile. He rolled up his shirt sleeves to show off his amazing forearms, I had a thing for forearms. (Well, his forearms). I sighed as he playfully held up his arms in the strong-man pose with a dramatic arrogant smile before breaking down in laughs, showing off pearly, white, shiny... OK, you've probably gathered a few thing by now. I could talk about Scorpius Malfoy until I was blue in the face, I am absolutely in love with him and he is gorgeous- I mean really gorgeous. I bet one thing you hadn't gathered was... he is my best friend. Ugh, I know I'm in love with my best friend. Don't even go there. So cliché. Tell me about it. It's not that I don't want to like him, it's that I wish we weren't so close. I let out a breath and tore my eyes away from Scorpius and down to my work, the exploding charm is said-
"Hey! Rosie!" I thought my heart was going to explode, it gets like that every time he talks to me and believe me we talk a lot. I swear one day I'll die a young, unexpected death from a heart attack. "Are you going to the Great Hall at lunch?"
"Yeah, do you wa-"
"Weasley! Malfoy!" came the squeaky voice of Professor Bumblebee, who was currently glaring at us his eyes shifted mechanically. It was enough to make me shiver. "This is exactly the reason I split you two up, you can't last five seconds without opening your cake holes!" We both looked at each other cringing, before looking back to Bumble's red face. "Now, take your papers and finish them for homework. Class Dismissed!" I quickly rose from my seat grabbing my things and making for the door like it was my only way to live. I sighed in relief when I was out of the classroom, half of my belongings hanging in my arms. I blew a piece of red, curly hair out of my face as I put my bag down and started filling it with my things.
"Ginger Ninja!" someone shouted from behind me as some, suspiciously big, arms wrapped around me. I sighed loving the feeling of his arms around my shoulders.
"Don't call me ginger ninja!" I playfully scolded, hating my nickname since first year.
"Ah, you love it" he said, unfortunately detaching himself from my shoulders to pick up his bag.
"I can tell you now, I don't!"
"But it's true you are," he said making what he thought were ninja moves. "a Ginger Ninja!" he said, holding a fight stance. I burst out laughing, unable to control myself. He was so crazy, that was another thing I loved about him. He didn't care about what people thought, never have never will. That's just him, I'm sometimes jealous that he can be so carefree and fun. We made our way to the Great Hall, laughing and talking looking exactly like best friends. Ugh, best friends. Why couldn't it be more? Please, Merlin if you can here this please, Valentine's Day is next week and that would be a great time to answer the prayers I've been sending you for years. I blew out a breath as we both entered the Great Hall, we went and sat down at the Gryffindor table and grabbed some food. Now, I know what your thinking. A Malfoy, in Gryffindor? But seriously Scorp is nothing like his Father, he is one of the kindest, sweetest, happiest, hilarious- OK, I'm doing it again. I remember the first time I talked to Scorpius, just thinking about it made me smile.
My eyes searched the hall nervously, as my cousins waved from the Gryffindor Table. I shifted around on the small, wooden stool my stomach flipping. I took a deep breath as the hat was place on my head.
"AH! I've been waiting for you! A Weasley obviously, you are hotheaded no doubt about it" I frowned at the hats words. "Hmm... You definitely have the brains of your Mother for sure, Ravenclaw would be nice." My heart sped up. 'No, No! Please, Gryffindor! "Hmm... Maybe not Ravenclaw then, you have the heart of a Hufflepuff... but you are too courageous, it will have to be"
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted, I sighed an audible sigh of relief and happily skipped to my relatives at the Gryffindor table. I turned back to the sorting, I watched as a tall blonde boy walked up to the stool.
"Scorpius Malfoy" Professor Longbottom announced some what half-heartedly it sounded to me. I recognised this boy, I remembered as the hat was placed on his head. He was the son of Draco Malfoy, the one my Dad had told me to stay away from. But I was slightly intrigued by him ,he seemed like any other normal boy but there was something about him that I knew would be hard to stay away from. After what seemed like hours of the hat debating silently with Scorpius it shouted-
"GRYFFINDOR!" everyone was silent, no caps, no gasps, no cheers. Just silence. Scorpius slid off the stool and cautiously walked over to and slid into the seat next to me. As the sorting continued I watched Scorpius sit there silently. I frowned as I saw a tear slide down his pale cheek.
"What's wrong?" I knew I was being nosy but that was me at eleven years old, I was a rather hyper child. His head snapped up and that was the first time I saw his eyes, I was shocked they were so pale and grey and... beautiful.
"I shouldn't be in this house" he said, quietly.
"Yes you should!" I said, determinedly."You will be great in Gryffindor! Just wait and see! I'm Rose Weasley!" I stuck out my hand and he shook. That was it, we were best friends. No turning back.
I sighed, why couldn't times still be like that. When I was just friends with him and I didn't feel anything else, life would be so much more simple.
"What's up with you?" my head snapped up to see Scorpius staring at me looking confused. I really have to stop thinking when Scorpius is around because I think about him a lot. I groaned again as a reply before taking another bite out of my sandwich. "Come on, you can tell me" Oh Merlin, what do I say? What do I fricking say?
"I...I'm thinking about... Valentine's Day!" Oh, so smooth Weasley, too smooth. I felt my face heating up as he processed what I had just said, I looked up at him. Oddly, he was poking his pasta with his fork and grinning down to the table. "What?" I said, my stomach turning and feeling a little uneasy.
"I wanted to tell you something" he said looking up from his pasta, his light grey eyes full of sincerity. "I want to do something on Valentine's Day... for someone." my whole body froze and it was like everything around me did. My heart sped up, I tried to control my breathing as he looked back to his food embarrassed.
"Well, who?" I said, leaning forward my heart almost hammering out of my chest.
"Well, it's someone who I've liked for a while now and I'm quite close to them. I've wanted to ask them out for a while, I just didn't know if they would want the same as me because we're mates." OK, try to breath think clearly. I thought about what he'd just said, quite close- check. Mates- check. And I was nervous he wouldn't want the same as me because we were close. Oh my God... Could he mean me? OK Rose calm down, it's probably you just imagining things. Yes, that's it. Oh but what if I'm not! "Rose would a girl mind if I asked them out in Hogsmeade?" No, I wouldn't mind.
"No, it'd be great."
"Rose..." he said, staring into his lunch debating with himself. He wanted to say something, say it. Say it!
"Yes" I whispered, almost scared to speak too loudly.
"Oh no it's stupid, I should have never said anything" he said, shaking his head and getting up.
"Wait, don't go!" I said, lunging forward and grabbing his arm. He couldn't leave now! No!
"Rose" he sighed. "I have homework anyway and it's free period now. I'll catch up with you later, yeah?" he said, before quickly walking out of the hall. I tried to calm myself I was probably just getting my hopes up but to met sounded like... like he was going to ask me out! But that was absurd completely preposterous! Was it? Oh Merlin, I was so confused! I grabbed my bag and proceeded to run out of the hall, ignoring all weird looks and whispers. My brain was in a complete jumble, I had to find someone, I had to talk to someone. I know, Albus will be in the Gryffindor Common Room; he always is. I ran all the way from the Great Hall to the Gryffindor Common, I didn't stop. Once. This was too much of a serious matter. I ran up to the portrait panting, and my chest heaving. The Fat Lady looked at me and sighed.
"Rose Weasley, always in a rush. You know you really should do something about that hair of yours, it looks a little like a stray cat had wandered onto your head" she said, ever-so sweetly. I glared at her, and said through gritted teeth.
"Let me in, Wingardium Leviosa" she sat up straight trying to look all high and mighty as she said haughtily:
"Fine, go on in. I was just giving you some useful advice" She turned her head away and swung open. I walked in and looked around the Common Room, no Albus, interesting. There were only a few first years playing exploding snap. I chucked by bag onto the sofa, wondering about the whereabouts of my lazy cousin. I started up the stairs to the Boy's Dormitory. Yeah, I know I'm not allowed up here but my best friends are guys. It's not like I'm going to make out with any of them or anything. Wait- scratch that. Maybe I will one day, I giggled internally. I was about to burst in when I heard someone speaking rather loudly from inside.
"I looked like such a dork, I sounded like such a dork"
"Scorp calm down, look she probably thought nothing of it just advice from a friend" So Albus and Scorpius where in there, my heart sped up as I heard him talking again.
"I've screwed this up so much, I thought it was a great idea at first and now..."
"Scorp, come on, you can do this! What did Rose say anyway?"
"She said being asked out in Hogsmeade would be great."
"So do it!" Merlin, Merlin, Merlin. This was... was... MERLIN! I just listened, if I thought about it I might miss something important. This definitely sounded like they were talking about me. Being asked out in Hogsmeade. By Scorpius. In Hogsmeade. By Scorpius. Oh Merlin.
"Ugh"
"Look Scorpius if you really like her then do it! I know for a fact she likes you back!" Albus knows I like him, I tell him everything.
"When did she tell you?"
"Oh, quite a while ago" Also true.
"Alright, I'll do it. Next week, Hogsmeade Valentine's weekend." There was some manly congratulating from Albus and then I heard some footsteps making their way towards me. Footsteps towards me. Uh-oh. I couldn't run, I would be caught. What do I do? Suddenly the door sprung open and I was forced between the door and the wall. I desperately held in a shout as my diaphragm was crushed and all the air squeezed out of me. As the foot steps trailed off down the stairs. I pushed the door away from me and leant back against the wall. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. This wasn't happening it was a dream. I smiled to myself. I was going to be with Scorpius. My heart jumped at the thought, I couldn't believe it. Oh Merlin. Maybe I was too quick to say we could ever be just friends.
