Dr. Malfoy
I own nothing but the story.
All credit to characters and places goes to JK Rowling.
Rose closed her eyes and swallowed. Her throat was burning and her head was aching. Whenever she tried to get up to go see Madam Pomfrey her head sent pain through her body telling her that was NOT the thing to do. Plus, she was secretly scared of the strict doctor.
Bugger. Now I'll be late to class and there's nobody to call but Scorpius, and that might end me up in another hacking fit. Plus, he would just laugh and walk away anyway. She thought angrily. Since she was Headgirl she had the honor of living in the room next the the Headboy, Scorpius.
He was the most arrogant, mean, bullying, handsome, sma- WHAT THE BLOODY HELL AM I THINKING!
He was her worst enemy.
She figured she should have gone down to Pomfrey's when her friend, Emily, told her to last night while they were studying.
Why did I not listen to her?
She turned her head in the direction to the clock. It read 7:55. She had missed breakfast (though she was not hungry) and classes started in 5 minutes.
Bugger, bugger, bugger!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
It's probably Emily coming to see why I'm not down yet.
She coughed out '' come in'' quickly.
The door opened to a certain blond boy in Slytherin robes.
Scorpius Malfoy.
"Why aren't you down?'' he asked.
Rose glared at him and managed ''I-h-m-ph sic-mph''
Scorpius cocked his head and said ''I take it you're sick''
Rose gave him a glare that clearly stated ''well don't just stand there!''
''Hey! I'm just checking on you! Do you want me to take you down to Pomfrey's?''
A look of fear came over Rose's face as she shook her head vigorously.
''Well I can't just leave you here'' said Scorpius as he crossed his arms.
Rose managed to mutter '' Yah, you can.''
Scorpius laughed. Rose glared.
'' Well, I'm not going to. I'll go and ask Professor McGonagall if I may be excused from classes today to tend to your every need.'' said Scorpius.
Rose tried to stop him as he walked out but she collapsed into a fit a coughing and sneezing. Scorpius's head peeped through the doorway as if he were waiting for this and said ''Bless you!'' at which Rose glared but he was already gone.
She sighed. At least he was nice about it she figured.
Sure enough, ten minutes late, he kicked the door open.
He was carrying a tray with a strange brown bottle, soup, some hot water, tea bags, and two cups. He was holding a spoon in his mouth.
He removed the spoon, grinned at her and said ''Sorry, it took a little convincing for her to let me."
He set the tray down on the table, poured the hot water into the two cups, and added tea and mysterious golden liquid. He then used the spoon to stir the tea (which Rose grimaced at).
Scorpius helped her sit up and handed her the cup.
''It has magically enhanced honey in it.'' he said with a smile.
After a few minutes of sipping tea he handed her the bowl of soup and a spoon.
''I've already eaten and I'll go to lunch and leave you alone later.''
As Rose sipped the soup from the spoon, Scorpius looked around her room.
Magically, the walls and furniture changed to her taste. The walls were spring green and her bed was centered on the wall opposite the door. It had cream colored sheets. The wooden floor had a round rug with green and cream spirals on it. There was a shelf with many books next to her desk. A window with off white curtains let the sun in. Scorpius had dragged her cream colored armchair next to her bed and bedside table which had a lamp with the Eiffel Tower as the stand on it. The shade had various French phrases typed on it. The walls had pictures of places on them. Her table had many pictured of family and friends. The ones on the wall were Muggle pictures.
Scorpius smiled and said ''I like your room'' to Rose but she was asleep with the soup spilling on her. He quickly picked it up and used his wand to clean the mess.
He got up, found a piece of parchment and a quill. On it he wrote Ring if you need me. He then put a bell on the table which Pomfrey had given him.
Rose woke up an hour later. Finding Scorpius gone, she read his note. Just as she looked up from it she saw Scorpius come in.
He smiled and asked ''Any better?''
She shrugged and said ''I guess.''
''Well at least your talking!'' he said.
She shrugged.
Scorpius had always like Rose. When she had been nice to him in first year he had brushed her off, afraid he would spill it. As a result, they had become bitter enemies.
Rose suddenly spoke up. '' Why are you being so nice? ''
Scorpius looked down. He knew he had to tell the truth.
'' I'm sorry I was so mean to you before.'' he said.
Rose tried to interrupt but he hurriedly continued.
''When you were so nice to me that first day of school, I didn't know how to react. I was afraid you might not like me.'' He muttered.
Rose starred ''Do you like me?'' she asked cautiously.
Scorpius gulped and said- and then suddenly he was cut off by the author it was time to end this one shot and make it into a two shot.
