Ant Poison; A fanfic about the hate and love, hot and cold, on and off between Rose and Scorpius.
I was standing out on the tallest tower- Ravenclaw tower- waiting for him. He said that he would be here! But there we go again, he's standing me up, why does he do this? Is he one of those sick minded, awful, stupid people that pretend to be interested in someone so they will turn around and start to like them back, then they can embarrass them by telling it to the world, and never speaking with them again.
I hate people like that; people like Scorpius. But I couldn't stop it, I couldn't let go once he had me hooked in. I guess though that it was his specialty, little Mr. Popular, good looks, charming and flirty. He knew how to hook them in, make a girl feel special. Even though you knew he was doing it... you just couldn't stay away.
I don't have a clue why he chose me. I guess maybe he's already slept with every other girl in the seventh year and he just wanted to get me in bed to finish it off. But he won't, I will not. He can beg and plead and charm and apologise and be his absolutely irresistible self, but I, Rose Weasley will not fall prey to that stupid tool.
'I hate his guts!' I shouted, letting it echo throughout the whole Hogwarts grounds.
'Shit, Damn, Bloody hell,' I muttered, spitting on the ground while racing back into the castle, running back to the Ravenclaw common room to get to bed. It was just past 3am, and I'd been waiting over half an hour in the cool autumn breeze for Scorpius.
His name made me so angry. He just didn't understand. He did this to all my friends, they came back those night crying. He slept with them and then wouldn't talk to them the next day, he fooled with them and they didn't see him for what he really was. I did, I saw him for what he was, I wouldn't be fooled, and he wouldn't trick me into anything.
Just then, I ran into something. I almost swore again, thinking the noise would most certainly alert someone, but all I heard was a loud huff, as the thing that I had run into was a person. At first, I thought that it was a teacher, and then I was busted and I'd get expelled, but it was a student, one of my height with amazing blonde hair.
'There you are!' He sighed in relief. I shook my head at him, a disgusted look on my face.
'No, no, no,' I shook my head. 'Just, piss off; I don't need to talk to you.'
He smirked. 'Always the pretty ones...'
I snapped around to him. 'Don't try and sweet talk me, you stupid bastard.' I shoved past him.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me back toward him and into a tight hug. 'Just let go!' I shouted, my yells echoing throughout the halls. I heard footsteps from around the corner and I ran to the Ravenclaw common room entryway and answered the question as Scorpius ran down the halls the opposite direction from the footsteps.
When I was inside the common room, I fell against the wall and slumped down and started to breathe heavily. I was a Ravenclaw because although my parents were both Gryffindor, my mother was extremely smart and passed on a fair amount of that smartness but I just lack bravery, hence me being in Ravenclaw.
My brother Hugo is also in Gryffindor, so I'm kinda the odd one out. I'm a seventh year, Hugo is a sixth year. He is not the brightest crayon in the pack, he didn't take after mum like I did. In personality, that is. I have brains, common sense, wit, and good magic like my mother, and Hugo took after dad. In looks, both of us took after dad. I have red curly hair, pale skin and freckles, as does Hugo. Apparently Hugo looks just like dad when he was his age.
It's pretty frustrating how Mum and Dad and Uncle Harry (sometimes even Aunty Ginny) would tell us of the adventures and fun they had at Hogwarts. Of course, not all 'fun' as it was battling the Voldemort 99% of the time. You know; life or death situations, the usual.
I mean, that's not the frustrating bit, I'm proud of my family being the ones that their generation looks up to, that took down the person (or thing) threatening the existence of things like Hogwarts, the thing that would've most certainly changed life as we know it today if still around. But the thing that frustrates me is the way that they're all 'you have no threat, you have no need to behave like we did, you must always follow the rules and be good,' and if I did any of the things they did; even sneak out of Hogwarts from a secret passage to go to Hogsmeade, they would kill me.
Just at that moment my best friend walked down the stairs. 'Hello there, Albus.' I smiled. Albus was not only my cousin, he was the other one of our family that didn't end up in the family house, Gryffindor, he was a Ravenclaw like me. I don't know why he didn't end up in Gryffindor like Lily or James. I had thought that Lily would surely end up in Ravenclaw, after Albus had, but she didn't.
Albus and James were spitting images of their father (my uncle Harry) and Lily looked just like Aunty Ginny, a fiery freckled redhead, just like all of Ron's brothers and sister, my uncles and my aunty.
'Rose, is that you?' He asked. I chuckled in relief.
'Albus! You scared the crap outta me!' I ran up to him. 'What're you doing up so late?' I asked.
He shrugged while smiling. 'Just thought I'd go for a night time walk. You know blah, blah, the usual. But the question is... why are YOU out?' He looked at me with that look that he knew exactly where I'd been and what had happened, he just wanted me to say it.
I shook my head and squeezed my eyes closed. He rolled his eyes. 'Let me guess; he stood you up again?' When I didn't answer he just sighed. 'Why do you even try? He just ignores you, then he loves you, then he ignores you, then he loves you again. It's not going to end well!'
I screamed quietly in frustration. 'What is with this big brother act? Why can't you let me make my own decisions for myself?'
He just ignored me and went up the stairs to go to bed. I rolled my eyes. Why did he do that all the time...? Why did he care about me or Scorpius? As I got into bed and started to fall into a light sleep, I found myself just being angry at my cousin, my best friend, and forgiving Scorpius, because I loved him... right?
