Q-When did you fall in love with him?

A- I'm not sure when I fell in love with him. It wasn't when I first saw him, because I don't believe in love at first sight. But I was interested. Oh yes, there was no doubt about it, I was always interested. Anything that pertained to him and his family interested me. If it wasn't his eyes then it was his hair. If not that, his attitude. If not that, his status. All the things that created him but were not truly him.

I think what interested me most was what my father told me. He said to keep away from him and that wasn't like him. He was always so easy going, my father, always clumsy but loving at the same time. It's a wonder my mum was able to fall in love with him like she did but she says she couldn't help it. Said he was interesting to listen to and that he was sweet.

That's what he is to me too. When it's just the two of us, he's so sweet. With Albus, he's polite. With the rest of the world he's an iceberg floating alone in the Arctic Ocean. I would have done anything, anything at all, to break that cold surface. He told me that I was doing it long before I loved him, but that's not true.

Not really anyway. See, for me, I had always watched him from afar, beating him is tests as my father instructed me, but that boy… he didn't care. It was fascinating… and totally different than how I had been raised. I had been raised to strive for the best and always be the best. This boy just cared about passing the grade and leaving school. It always felt like he didn't want to be there.

Until the library, of course. Yes, I'd seen him in the library one day, when it was totally empty, and he was studying his heart out. It was amazing. I just sat in one of the chairs and watched him work. It was fascinating. The whole day went by and I didn't even notice it. Apparently, I also didn't notice the secret looks I'd been getting and the note that was slipped between the pages of my favourite book, asking me out.

But the moment I fell in love with him is when this girl asked him out. She was from my House, Gryffindor, and she really liked him. He let her down real gently, saying that if they were together, it'd cause her troubles and that he was in love with someone else. The next day, people found out about her confession and teased her about it. Scorpius, using his charm and skill, said, instead, that he'd confessed to her and that he'd been rejected. He also added that if anyone went out of their way to embarrass her or his confession, they wouldn't have all their body parts intact.

That Gryffindor girl was one of my best friends. I knew the truth, and if I admit it to myself, then I would have to say I was jealous. She had been so excited and then, to be turned down…. I couldn't pursue him now. My father would be furious but it was beyond that now. Liking him went against the core of our friendship. She would never forgive me if I said I liked the guy she liked. Plus that fact that he had someone he liked…

The kindness he showed her made me love him even more... and convinced me that I shouldn't love him anymore. We used to meet up secretly before that. My friends didn't know. His friends didn't know. Albus knew though, because he organized the whole thing. Meetings with him were always events to be looked forward to. But I stopped. My friend had liked him and got shot down. I was sure that if I liked him, I would meet the same fate. Hurt, broken hearted, unloved.

I was wrong.

FINITE!
