Rose / Scorpius Story

So, like yeah.

Okay, here's the deal: Dillon Wood likes Marissa Hanning, who's going out with Eric Thomas, who's cheating on her with Eva Rubia, who's best friends with Raffie Patil, who's secretly in love with her, but is having a flirtationship with Adrianne Belby, who used to go out with Scorpius Malfoy, who's chasing after Lily Potter, who is totally head over heels for Jun Corner.

My issue? I like Jun Corner.

Yeah, I know, I'm a terrible person. I'm crushing on the same guy as my cousin, the infamous Jun Corner(!) who got all "Outstandings" on his OWLs fifth year, who was Prefect, is now Head Boy, captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, was offered an internship for Junior Minister by Kingsley Shaklebolt, and is so, so, so bloody handsome.

Like, seriously hot. He can make any girl have yellow fever. Even if he's only half. Ahem.

But yeah, Lily's liked him since the fourth year, and you know, I didn't think it was that big of a deal because a lot of girls like him and he's always getting all these love letters and creepy little gifts from all his 'fangirls', and he's never really showed any interest in them. Like yeah, he goes out with girls and stuff – he even dated Athena Boot for like, two years, on and off – but other than that, the boy's not really that much of a flirt.

And then, last year, once after practice, he winked at Lily.

She'd liked him then, of course (I mean, who doesn't?), but I think that was when she really, truly fell for him. Like, she would stare at him during meals in the Great Hall and go watch his Quidditch practices with her Ravenclaw friends, and even come up and talk with us whenever he stopped to chat with me. I have to admit, little Lily's got guts. I mean yeah, I like him, and I go up and talk to him, but she's two years younger than Jun is and he's got that whole "star appeal" thing going for him, not to mention he's really, really hot.

But anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Actually, I first realized I liked him when we played Ravenclaw in the finals for the House Cup my fifth year. I'd known Jun for a really long time by then, and we got along well, sat with our separate groups in class but would still pass notes with each other, say hi in the halls, ask for help when we didn't understand anything. But that game, I was playing Chaser, he was playing Keeper, and someone aimed an enormous Bludger at my head. No, I'm serious! It wasn't a normal Bludger – it was at least two times the size of a Quaffle and I swear it was made of titanium or something because I could literally feel it bruising the air as it zoomed past me. Anyways, it scared the living daylights out of me and I swerved to avoid it, didn't look where I was going, and crashed right into Jun. I fell off my broom and started praying in case I died, but I felt this really warm arm wrap around my waist and suddenly my face was buried in this really muscular, hot neck, and I look up and it's Jun; his cheeks are flushing and his hair is blowing and his smile is gleaming – and bada bing, bada boom! I'm in love.

So yeah, it's seventh year now, and I'm about to turn eighteen (it's March), and Jun still has absolutely no idea that I'm head over heels for him. Actually, when I found out he broke up with Athena for the first time, I was gonna tell him, but then they got back together. And then she broke up with him after a fight, and I was on the Consolation Squad, and was planning the perfect scenario in my head of confessing my undying love to him in the moonlight, but then they got back together. Again. So that went on for the better part of the last two years, and so finally I was just like 'whatever' and pretty much gave up on ever getting Jun Corner to love me.

And then, wouldn't you believe it, Scorpius Malfoy came up to me one day saying that he was in love with Lily and wanted my help to get her to go out with him.

"I'm sorry – WHAT?!" I shouted, making everybody in the library turn and stare.

"Come on, Weasley!" he pouted, giving me a puppy dog face. "In return, I'll help you get Corner. You like him, right? Everyone knows, you know."

I felt myself blushing. "Not everyone-"

"Yes, everyone. We all see you fawning over him during lessons and hanging on every word he says, sidling up to him during Prefect meetings and batting your eyelashes at him. It's pretty obvious, Rosie."

Okay, Scorp and I have been friends since, like, third year. I found out he loves Halo, he found out I play Call of Duty; we hit it off from there. We're not super close or anything, but we can be ourselves around each other; I can punch him, push him, call him names, slap the back of his head when I'm walking by, etc., etc. He comes to me for girl advice a lot, and homework help, and even asks if he can borrow some money ("borrow" meaning "have", and thank you very much) from time to time. I like the kid a lot; he's really funny and sweet, not like how Mum and Dad describe his father at all.

So I glared at him and said "Okay, fine. Maybe I have a teensy bit of a crush on the guy. So what? I'll graduate and move on, probably marry a muggle Mafia lord and live it up until I'm twenty five, then have six babies and name all the boys 'Manny' and all the girls 'Delilah'. And then go to cooking school and fatten them up, and then when they have kids I'll fatten those up, and me and my Mafia lord husband will live in a giant mansion with a pool and a house elf, and life will be good. See, I don't need Jun Corner!"

"No job?"

"I'll write a novel. A children's story. Can you see it now? 'Harry Potter' and the Great Bloody Snake. Or 'Harry Potter' and the Pedophilic Rat. They're going to love it."

"It's gonna tank."

"You're gonna tank," I said, kicking his foot under the desk. "Just you wait, I'll be the wealthiest, most gorgeous woman in all Britain and you'll be stuck with Lily, still looking like an albino child."

"Does that mean you'll help me?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows at me. I glanced at him. He smiled. I narrowed my eyes. He gave me a puppy face. I cracked.

"Yeah, okay," I grumbled, heaving a sigh. "A Potter and Malfoy – their families hate each other, but their children are desperately in love – talk about romantic. But if you break my little cousin's heart-"

"Rose, relax," he said, patting my shoulder. "I love her. I love Lily so much it hurts. I'll die before I do anything to hurt her."

"So…what do you propose we do?" I said, after a minute of him sitting there and beaming at me.

"Oh!" he said, sounding very surprised. "Did you want me to come up with the plan?"

I rolled my eyes. "Well, yeah. I mean, you were the one who wanted me to help you get my cousin to fall in love with you. It'd be really stupid of you to come up and recruit my services without a fully formulated battle strategy."

"Yeah, well, I'll leave the strategizing to you," he said, coming over to my side of the table and kneeling down in front of me. He took my hand in both of his dramatically.

"Thank you so much, Rose Weasley, for helping me attain the love of my life!" He declared, placing a kiss on the back of my hand. I couldn't help it. I blushed. What? Scorp's really, really attractive, and it's not the worst thing to have him kiss your hand all gallantly like that. He stood up and gave me a hug. "See you in class tomorrow!" he said excitedly, and sped off, earning lots of strange looks from nearby students. I shook my head and turned back in towards the table.

"Hey, Rose," I heard someone say. I looked and saw that it was Jun, his black hair ruffled and shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows. I could have drooled, he made that look so hot.

"Oh, hi Jun," I said brightly, smiling my crinkly-eyed smile at him. It was my flirty smile (Yes, I have a flirty smile, sue me). "Do you want to sit down or something?"

"Aw, no,'' he said, looking sheepish for some reason. "I mean – I just saw – that is – are you and Malfoy going out now?"

"Huh?" I said, completely caught off guard. "Me and Malfoy? Like, Scorpius Malfoy? AHAHAHAHA!" I had to exercise some major restraint to keep my laugh under fifty decibels after Madam Pince-Filch shushed me.

"Oh, so you're not?" Jun said, a weak smile on his face. I stopped laughing immediately when a sudden thought hit me.

Scorpius liked Lily, right? And Lily liked Jun. And I liked Jun. Scorp said he would help me get Jun if I helped him get Lily. Which would mean; me + Jun, and Lily + Scorpius. But how would we get Lily to like Scorp? And get Jun to like me? Unless…but no…well, it was worth a shot.

"Yeah," I said, looking into his beautiful brown eyes and feeling my heartbeat quicken. "Scorp and I are going out. He just asked me right now, and I said yes! Isn't it great?"

So, like, yeah.

Rose and Scorpius were fated to be together ever since Ron told her to stay away. :P Gotta love reverse psychology.

Anyways, if it wasn't clear: Jun's (pronounced JOON) in Ravenclaw, Rose & Lily (And Hugo, James, and Albus) are in Gryffindor, and Scorp's in Slytherin. Jun is Michael Corner and Cho Chang's son. :)
