Rose's POV
First year, first term
Mum and dad,
I got sorted into Gryffindore just like I thought I would. James just tries to scare me. The boat ride was very interesting and the giant squid was cool. It rocked our boat a little and for a minute I thought it was going to tip. I sat with Al on the train, but for some reason he would not be quiet. He just kept going on about random things. Well I'll owl you again later about my classes
I love you a lot
-Rose
"I'm telling you, he's not all that bad." Albus said as he and I were entering the Gryffindore common room.
"You don't know that. How long have you known him?" I Asked Setting down my potions book on the end table.
"Who would that be?" James questioned budding in, turning around to show his face; he had been leaning on the arm of the couch.
"Well I met him today…But that's beside the point." Al replied, ignoring James.
"Mhm. right. 'That's beside the point,'" I argued in a mimicking, sarcastic tone. My eyebrow rose to form a questioning expression.
"Oh please don't tell me you too are still talking about that Scorpius kid?" James said.
"Yes we are," I replied. "And Al has the funniest idea that there's nothing wrong with him."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with him." James agreed.
"Thank you! Someone finally agrees," Albus blurted.
"Merlin's beard, I'm just going to grab a glass of water and go up to bed, night."
"Night." James and Albus said together looking at each other with confused faces.
I walked up to the girls' dormitories thinking about Scorpius. I liked him, but I didn't want anyone to know. I would do anything for Albus and James to not find out.
I woke up in my four poster bed and walked down the spiral staircase dressed in my uniform ready to go to breakfast. Turning the corner I saw Al sitting on the end of the couch by the fire.
"Good morning. I thought we could walk to breakfast together?" Al asked.
"Ok let's go then. I'm starving," I laughed as we started walking towards the portrait whole and down the stairs.
"Good morning," greeted the fat lady.
"Morning," I said while Albus just gave her a smile. I guess he was just too tired; probably a result of staying up so late talking to James last night.
As we walked into the great hall, I glanced over to the Slytherin table and met eyes with Scorpius. He began to turn red, quickly looked down and continued to eat.
"Great. I hope no one saw that," I thought
Al leaned over and started talking into my ear, which startled me and caused me to jump. "Looking at Scorpius, were you?" he said.
"No I wasn't," I lied as I felt my cheeks starting to burn from blushing.
"Mhm right," Al answered. "I thought you said you didn't like him?"
"I don't," I answered, attempting to speak calmly.
I ignored him and walked over to the Gryffindore table. as I sat down next to James he was stuffing his mouth with food.
"Look, the two sleepy heads finally came down for some breakfast," James announced.
"Haha real funny James." I said sarcastically.
"So what class is first today?" Al asked me.
"Um let me see. Hold on I'm getting the paper. Looks like Herbology with Huffelpuff and Slytherin then...Defense against the Dark arts with Slytherin and Ravenclaw."
"Wow Rose, two classes in a row with Slytherin. Maybe you'll see Scorpius," James pointed out.
"Shut up."
"Oh come on. Don't act like you weren't looking at him when you walked in. I saw you, you totally like him. I bet you were lying last night; that's why you went to bed early. You were trying to drop the conversation." he stated.
"I don't like him." I argued
"Ok then, just remember he's a Malfoy."
