Chapter 1:
Rose's P.O.V:
I walked down the corridors with my head held high and in my hands I held my Herbology book. I was on my way to the library to start my Herbology essay. I finally reached the library and sat down in my normal chair and desk which was located at the back to the library were no one can see me. I opened my book to the section on Gillyweed. I got my quill and parchment out of my bag and started. I was halfway down when two large pale hands covered my eyes.
"Scorpius!" I shrieked.
The two large hands removed from my face and Scorpius went and sat in front of me on the table. His long arm reached to grab my quill from my hand.
"Can't you see I'm trying to finish an essay?" I asked removing my hands from his.
"Does that mean I can't do this?" He asked while leaning across and planting a sweet kiss on my lips. I pushed him away quickly looking around nervously. "What are you doing?" He asked with a strange look on his face.
"Do you want to get caught in a lip lock by James and then you get in a fight with, Albus, Hugo, Fred don't forget James and…."
Scorpius interrupted and said, "I get your point. But I haven't seen you in ages as we have both been busy studying for our upcoming exams."
"Well Scorpie. I have been the one studying and you have been lazing around with Albus trying to help him pick up Professor Longbottom's daughter. Which I think is rather disturbing as she is my best friend. Also I have been studying as I have good grades and I'm Hermione Granger's daughter the smartest witch alive. I have to be smart like she was at Hogwarts." I said picking up my quill and starting to write again.
"You don't have to live up to your mother's standards you can be whoever you want to be and you can be with whoever you want to be with; even if it's Draco Malfoy's filthy pure-blood son." Scorpius said.
"You're not a pure-blood." I said to him.
"So I'm filthy then." He said as he got up to leave.
"Scorpius wait, don't go." I pleaded. "Please, you're not a filthy pure-blood. You're a young, kind man that I love." I said. I saw his eyes pop out at the 'L' word.
He looked up at me and looked me in the eye. "I love you too Rose, but I don't like hiding us you have to tell your family about us one day. Even if we do put on an act saying that we hate each other, which I hate." Scorpius said as he went and sat down in the chair next to me. I stood up and placed myself carefully on his lap and started to play with his blonde hair.
"Well Mr Malfoy lets share the time that we have now." I said to him with a smile on my face. We both leaned in to each other,
"Hey guys what are you doing here. Together?" Albus said. I immediately stopped moving towards Scorpius to look up at Albus who was not standing alone, by his side was my best friend Alice.
"I could ask you the same question." I said to Albus.
"I asked you first. And also you guys can't stand each other. And why are you sitting on his lap?" Albus asked me.
"Why do you ask so many questions? Rose tripped and fell on me; we all know how much of a klutz she is." Scorpius said shoving me off his lap, which made me fall on my bum on the floor. "Sorry." Scorpius whispered.
"But why did Rose have her arms around your neck?" Albus asked Scorpius.
I looked at Scorpius with a worried expression, and he shrugged his shoulders. "Uh, well you see," I began.
"She was fixing my tie for me. Yep, that's what she was doing." Scorpius said nervously.
I got up off the floor and collected all my things and put them in my bag and left before anyone could catch me. I exited the library, and headed straight for the Gryffindor Common Room. I would have loved to have gotten into Ravenclaw, but the sorting hat put me in Gryffindor with the rest of my family.
I got to the Gryffindor Common Room and said the password and walked straight up to my dormitory, which I shared with four other girls. I walked straight to my bed and put my things on top of it. I heard the door open and I turned around to see Alice coming in.
"So I just bumped into Aiden and guess what?" Alice squealed, jumping up and down.
Oh merlin! Aiden Wood was constantly asking me out and is apparently in love with me. He is a very nice boy and if it wasn't for my being in love with Scorpius I would maybe give him a chance and say yes. But there's one problem. He is kind of clingy and he stalk me a lot during Quidditch training.
"What?" I acted surprised.
"He wants to ask you to the next Hogsmeade weekend." Alice screamed.
Just then the door opened and in came Brooke Thomas and Sadie Brown my other two roommates.
"What's with all the screaming?" Sadie asked.
"Well Aiden Wood wants to ask Rose to the next Hogsmeade weekend!" Alice screamed.
Brooke and Sadie started screaming and jumping around with Alice. "Guys, what if I don't want to go with him?" I said.
"Don't want to go with him? I would die if my crush asked me. It would be nice for Scorpius asked me to the next Hogsmeade weekend." Sadie said dreamily.
Merlin! I forgot Sadie has completely fallen in love with Scorpius. She will never accept that I am dating him when she eventually finds out.
"Scorpius can't ask you." I cried. Oh merlin now our secret is blown for sure.
"And why can't I?" Sadie asked.
"Because, because. Uh," I stuttered looking around the room. "He's going to ask Lily Potter." I said. Merlin! I just had to say that!
"What that slut?" Alice asked.
"Alice we've been over this just because she dated Lorcan last year and he is two years older than he doesn't mean she's a slut. And also she's my cousin, so stop being so rude." I told Alice.
Alice rolled her eyes and lay down on her bed. "I don't get it? Why would he want to ask out that thing?" Alice said confused.
"Yeah, now I'm confused too." Sadie said.
Sadie wasn't your typical smart girl; unlike me. She is somehow like her mother in a way, like a miniature version of her mother. (Like Albus is a miniature version of Uncle Harry) Sadie's mum Lavender never got married before she had Sadie but last month she got married to Seamus Finnegan. So Sadie's way off dream; to one day get married to Logan Finnegan (Seamus' son) were now shattered so she had moved on to her next target: Scorpius.
"Well she is my cousin and he did say something about her being nice to him and he thinks that she is pretty." I said quickly. "Well I think we should go down to the Great Hall as dinner should be there." I said as I walked out of the room. As I walked across the Common Room I walked passed Aiden Wood. He got up to speak to me, but I just put my hand up. "No." Is all I said for him to get the message and to sit back down.
I kept on walking to the Great Hall the corridors were longs and when I got to the third floor I started to hear voices. I walked more slowly and the noises seemed to get louder as I walked towards the Charms Classroom. I quietly opened the door to see my cousin Albus and Anna Wood snogging. I closed the door quickly realising that it had made a loud bang.
I moved quickly away from the door and began running. I ran all the way down to the ground floor where I bumped into a cold hard chest. "Watch where you're," I began. "Scorpius?" I asked.
"Watch where you're going weasel-bee." He said as he nodded his head to the right. We were standing in the doorway of the Great Hall. I couldn't let people think that I liked him in the middle of the Great Hall.
I pushed past him and went to go sit at the Gryffindor table. I saw Charlotte Lawrence and went to sit with her.
Charlotte Lawrence was a beautiful half- blood seventh year Gryffindor. She was also part veela. She could also have any boy she wanted but she chose to like my cousin James Potter, which was totally disgusting (as he is a man-whore!) They were in the same year but James never seemed to notice anyone except that slutty whore Hannah Zabini who was in Slytherin.
"Hey Charlotte." I said.
Charlotte wasn't paying attention to me. She was looking at someone a couple of seats down from me.
Please don't be James! I begged. I moved my head around and saw that Charlotte was in fact starring at James who was sitting beside Hannah Zabini.
"Hey Charlotte I was wondering, when are you going to tell James that you like him?" I asked her while clicking my fingers in front of her face.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Charlotte said as she turned bright red.
"Yeah, you're cheeks say it all. They're bright red!" I said while laughing. I served myself a big helping of dinner. As a Weasley I got my dad's genes to eat, and eat. After dinner in the Great Hall I usually like going to the library to read for a bit then going to bed. I started to shovel mouthfuls of food into my mouth while I listened to Charlotte go on and on about James.
By the time I had finished my first plate Charlotte was still talking. I was really hungry and wanted more, but I didn't want to sit here and listen to her talk more about my cousin, James. "Well Charlotte it has been lovely listening to you talk about my cousin, nonstop. But I really have to go." I said while shovelling one last carrot into my mouth while running to the third floor, where the library was located.
When I got to the door of the library I slowed down and stopped as I didn't want Madame Pince to yell at me, yet again for running in "her" library. I walked to the back of the library where I picked out my favourite book, Hogwarts: A History and sat down in my corner.
I awoke to a hard pinch on my shoulder. "5 more minutes Scorpius." I mumbled while waving my hand.
"Miss Weasley!" Madame Pince said.
At her voice I woke up right away. "Yes?" I asked nervously.
"It is officially 8:00pm and the library is now closed, so if you could please leave." Madame Pince said nicely.
I got up off the chair and walked over to the bookshelf to put my book away. I walked straight out of the library and headed for the Gryffindor tower. I walked slowly enjoying that no one else was out in the corridors. On the way past the sixth floor I bumped into Aiden Wood.
"Hey Rose. Fancy seeing you out of bed; when you meant to be in your common room. Don't worry I won't get you into trouble." He said while winking at me.
"Aiden we have been over this. We, are never going to happen. Okay?" I said while nodding my head and continued to walk to the Gryffindor Tower.
By the time I had gotten to the tower it was nearly 8:30. (It shouldn't have taken that long but I bumped into Scorpius.) When I got to the common room I said the password and walked through the portrait hole. "Aagh! James what are you doing?" I screamed.
I had just walked in on my cousin, James snogging Charlotte. "Merlin! You guys need to get a room!" I yelled while running the rest of the way up to my dormitory. I quickly changed out of my school robes and changed into my pyjamas. I walked back down stairs and saw that James and Charlotte were still snogging. "How did this happen, may I ask?" I asked James and Charlotte once I was standing right in front of them.
"Well Charlotte just came up to me and started kissing me and I couldn't object as I like her." James said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I think I just vomited in my mouth a little." I said as I ran back up stairs. I got into my bed and went to sleep thinking of my wonderful (secret) boyfriend.
