Chapter 2: Smooth Criminal
Delilah and I strutted down to the Great Hall. First and Second years ran in every direction, terrified. We were quite the intimidating duo, Me and Delilah, Delilah being an awesome Chaser and twin sister of 'Mr Fitty' Jake Thomas, then me being a Prefect, the Gryffindor Captain and Seeker. On the whole,the fact that we won the opening game last night couldn't have been more fitting.
"And then I said yes! Isn't that great, Rosie! Rosie? ... OI!" Delilah shouted and then gave me her trade-mark smile as I turned to her.
"Sorry what Di?" I asked, snapping out of my day-dream.
She rolled her chocolate brown eyes and snapped; "Haven't you been listening Rosie? Im going to Hogsmede with Albus!"
"What! You mean like... on a date?", I choked, trying desperately to disguise my shock - but failed.
"Yes!" She giggled, her face glowing with content.
I felt bad for not listening to her, but I couldn't help but feel slightly off with the whole thing - seeing as he is my cousin.
The three of us and her brother Jake have been best friends since we were born. Albus being the oldest, Me the second and the twins the youngest out of us all. Not forgetting our friend Dash, whose the youngest out of our year. He was our first friend we actually met at Hogwarts. Naturally, he was slightly humble on our first meeting, since the four of us had been friends for the previous eleven years, and that he knew who our parents were. It didn't help that his brother Charlie was put in Slytherin. Their parents refuse to attend any Gryffindor match, even when their precious Charlie is playing against us. I feel sorry for Dash, he is one of the smartest and interesting people I've ever met and his parent's couldn't care less. He brought everyone together, made us who we were, even got me to be a bit of a loud mouth - Mum still doesn't approve.
Delilah and I continued our strut into the Great Hall. I took a peek at the Slytherin table, and with no surprise Endora was trying (without success, may I add) to get Scorpius to pay attention to her. He was currently paying attention to his friend, Morticia, who smirked at every move made by Endora. Obviously waiting for Scorpius to smile or something, I've never seen something so pathetic!
We reached our spot at the Gryffindor table, were Al, Dash and Jake sat opposite us as per usual. Suddenly, the doors of the Great Hall swung open. Hugo, my little brother, Lily my not-so-innocent cousin and their best friends Aaron and Odette. Hugo reached us first.
"Did you hear about the Herbology room?" he asked.
"No what about it?" Jake asked, looking confused.
Hugo wore the ridiculous grin he wore when he knew something someone else didn't.
"It was broken into last night."
"Your joking!"
"Nope," Hugo sighed and continued. "And Flitwick has a theory it was a Gryffindor!"
Me, Delilah, Jake and Al looked at each other, horrified.
"Seriously?" Delilah's voice was so high-pitched it would soon be impossible to understand a word she said.
"Yep, he thinks it was a prank that took place during the celebration last night."
"But thats obsurd! Neville was in Gryffindor, he knew how Gryffindor acted when they won a game, surely he'll back us up... Won't he?"
"So who do you think it was then?" Albus asked, keeping his voice down so that only the people nearest would hear.
"Well there's no need to search any further than the table next to us." Delilah hissed, glaring at the Slytherin's.
"Y-You think?" I stuttered, surely it couldn't be... Could it?
"Yeah! Four galleons on Malfoy, Lurch, Endora or Charlie."
"Ha! Charlie would never do something like that! You know he's the opposite of his brave, handsome and stylish twin!" Dash grinned, straighting up as to look pompous and cool.
"Oh yeah, very stylish." Delilah smirked, and we all burst out laughing, except Dash, which made us laugh even harder.
When we had calmed ourselves down, I took a quick glance over at the Slytherin's. I finally come to the conclusion however snooty and arrogant he may be, Scorpius Malfoy is very attractive, even if he is a Slytherin. I haven't told anyone about the Quidditch incident, not even Delilah. What would people say? I daren't think about it... I take another glance at them, only to see Endora trying to gain his attention AGAIN, now by playing with his hair. Bloody pathetic. Scorpius takes a glance over at us, and then looks at me. I hate how I can't read that face like one of my books. His face is emotionless, but I could have sworn I saw him wink... What am I thinking? Stop it Rosie.
Delilah, yet again had to wake me up from my day dream, as I saw her hand waving in the air.
"Rosie honestly, whats up with you today? Is their a famous Quidditch player over there or something?"
"Nah, Rosie is trying to debate whether or not is was Lurch or Malfoy who came up with the brilliant plan, Right?" Dash said.
"Er.. yeah, right." I dare not tell them, I can't...
"Well with brains like there's I wouldn't be surprised if they asked Peeves for help!"
"Scorpius is smart." I blurted out, but instantly regretted it...
"Scorpius? Since when?" Delilah narrowed her eyes at me, looking sickened.
"Well... er..."
"Well, apparently he's 'smart' according to Rosie, but he's definately crap at Quidditch!"
"No he's not-"
"WHAT-"
"After he tortured you and then threw you off your broom like a broken toy?" Dash and Delilah looked utterly mental.
"He did not torture me! He just-"
"Zapped you off your broom..." Albus said, quietly.
They all found it particularly amusing, I did not.
"I-"
"Oi Rosie can we talk?" a voice shouted from behind me, I turned around to see it was... Scorpius.
"Oh.. Er.."
"Drop dead, Malfoy!" Hugo stood on front of Malfoy, both of them glaring at each other. I hated it when Hugo got all protective, it wasn't just embarrassing, it was annoying.
"Shut up, Hugo-"
"Why are you backing him up?"
"I'm not-"
"But you-"
I just couldn't be bothered to argue any longer. We are just so like our parents. I walked over to Scorpius in the corner of the hall, he was grinning at me...
"Hey, how are you?"
"Oh fine, nearly was killed by falling off my broom, but fine!"
"W-what?" Malfoy looked confused, but more than anything he looked angry.
"Basically, you tried to kill me, Scorpius! And you had the nerve to make it seem like an accident because we were in the clouds!"
"No, I-I was trying to stop you f-from falling." He looked nervous.
"You don't look to convinced yourself."
"Lurch was behind you and I saw the grin on his face, I tried to help you but it was too late and when I tried to fly down to you, he pulled me back!"
"Yeah, right." I turned to walk away, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me back.
"Listen! He threatened to tell everyone an old secret of mine."
"Which is?"
"I told you when I decided I didn't care who knew..."
"Remind me again, I don't seem to remember." I was angry at him, but part of me couldn't help but be on his story side... Was he lying to me or did he mean it?
"That I wanted to be in Gryffindor..." He looked at the floor, his face a little red.
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because I'm not a liar."
I looked at him for a second or two. I didn't know what to believe, I just didn't get the handsome young man with light blonde hair and a heart-melting smile who was standing in front of me...
