A/N: Well here is the next chapter, it's not very good and I didn't really enjoy writing half of it, but ti is finished.
Again I don't own anything in this story pretty much.
Rose slept in on Saturday morning, which would normally be a good thing, as she could catch up on rest, but she was planning on going to Hogsmead with Roxanne, Lily and Annabelle. (They were having a girls' shopping day.) Rose slowly turned, groaned and looked at the clock. Shocked she jumped out of her bed, at the sight of the time shown on the display. The Hogsmead group would be leaving in fifteen minutes and she wasn't even up.
Rose ran to her wardrobe and threw on the first muggle clothes she could find, she didn't bother to brush her hair she just started to run down the stairs, out of the portrait and straight into the group of people waiting to leave for Hogsmead.
"Good to see you Ms. Weasly just in time." Mr. Longbottom, a family friend and also head of Gryffindor, smiled at her as she took her place amongst her friends and family.
"I thought you had forgotten and just slept in as you usually did. Lucky for you it was Longbottom and he took his time doing the register." Roxanne whispered to her as they walked towards the carriages.
"Yeah, sorry, just got held up I guess."
"That's okay. By the way, what are you wearing?" Roxanne looked Rose up and down with a disapproved look on her face. Rose was wearing her black lace-up school shoes, with three-quarter orange cargos and a bright pink halter-neck; luckily she was covered with her big black coat.
"Um, I really don't know myself, aye." Rose said as she took her first look at what she was wearing. "Maybe we could stop at a clothes store first; I think that would be best."
"Yeah, I agree, but until then let's cover your-self up, no cousin of mine will be seen in THAT!" Roxanne tightened the strap on Rose's coat. Rose gave her a slightly annoyed but still grateful glance as they entered the carriage and went on their way to Hogsmead.
"Oh Rose look at this, it's a nice top, and cheap too." Lily yelled and Rose from across the store as she held up a bright yellow tank top.
"Yeah Lily, I think it is cheap for a reason, besides I already found an outfit that I like and I'm buying it now." Rose yelled back from the cashier.
As the four of them headed back to the streets of Hogsmead, Rose now wearing grey washed out jeans and a nice black and white stripped top with a mini waist coat over top, they bumped into Scorpius and a few of his friends. Roxanne and Annabelle greeted him with a hug as Rose and Lily just stayed behind them and observed and they had their pleasantries and parted their ways.
"I don't know why you insist on being friends with him." Rose scoffed as soon as they were far enough away that he wouldn't hear.
"You don't know what you're talking about, Scorpius is a really great guy, just give him a chance, and please don't believe all the stories you hear from your parents." Roxanne said in a very defensive tone.
"Yeah, and plus even so not everyone ends up like their parents. What about Lysander? He is nothing like either of his parents. He concentrates in class, sticks to the facts and is very sociable" Annabelle exclaimed. And she was mostly right; his mother never paid any attention, to anything even now.
"Fine okay, I'll give him a chance, I'll say hello next time we see him." Rose said, just trying to move the conversation along.
"Okay what about right now? We can ask the boys if they want to have lunch with us in the new cafe." Roxanne suggested while grabbing Rose's arm and pulling her in the direction Scorpius went.
As they reached the boys who were now sitting on a bench, Roxanne nudged Rose to ask Scorpius. So she reached out a hesitant hand to tap his shoulder but before she touched him, he turned around quickly, this frightened Rose making her scream and jump. Everyone went into fits of laughter including Scorpius' friends; Jethro and Lysander. Even rose laughed after her heart rate slowed to a normal pace.
The laughter started to die down and Roxanne whispered to Rose, "Go on ask him, or I will not let you borrow my dress for the Halloween ball."
Reluctantly Rose stood up straight and spoke to the group of still laughing guys. "Um... erm... do you guys want to get lunch with us... There is a new cafe just over there." She pointed towards a little building with miss-matched chairs and tables outside for people to sit and eat.
"Yeah, sure, that sounds great, I'm starving" Scorpius spoke for his group, and the seven of them all headed towards the cafe.
After they were all seated at the table they constructed out of other smaller tables (the tables wouldn't seat more than five.) Scorpius was sitting between Rose and Roxanne, Lily was at the only head of the table and Annabelle sat between her Ravenclaw friends Jethro and Lysander.
Throughout the meal Scorpius stole glances of Rose trying to embed the profile images into his brain, for a later date. Scorpius could not understand how that much beauty could be concentrated into only one body; he couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Scorpius what do you think?" Jethro asked Scorpius, taking him out of his dreamy trance and he forced his eyes away from Rose.
"About what?"
"The 'History of magic' essay. Did you finish it?" We were talking about how hard it was." Jethro informed Scorpius on their conversation as Scorpius was trying to collect his thoughts.
"Oh... um... Yeah, I finished it last night, but it was quite hard." He scooped the answer of the question out of his already scrambled brain.
"What you already finished it? I haven't even started it yet." Rose exclaimed now turning towards Scorpius with her big brown eyes and curly red hair. Scorpius was sent straight back into his dreamy state and had trouble trying to ignore the musical voice that just spoke to him and instead carry on the conversation with the goddess.
"Um... yeah, if you want I can help you with it?" Scorpius offered Hoping that her answer would be yes.
"Actually that would be a big help, 'History of magic' is my worst subject and since you are top of the class. That would be really good. Thanks. Um, when do want to get started? It's due on Wednesday." Rose was now smiling at Scorpius who blushed and thought quickly.
"How about tomorrow, in the library?"
"Yeah that would be perfect. Say two o'clock?"
"Sure that's fine with me, which gives us plenty of time before the game." Scorpius was referring to the Quidditch game between her team and his. Scorpius was the Keeper of the Ravenclaw team and also Rose's opposition on the field as she was a chaser.
They all finished their meal and by the time that the girls had finished shopping it was time to head back to Hogwarts.
"So are you nervous about your study date?" Roxanne chimed in Rose's ear in the carriage ride back to school.
"It is not a date! I just need help with essay and he offered to TUTOR me, nothing more, nothing less. So just leave it." Rose was getting frustrated at all the comments she was receiving from her cousins and friends on the matter.
"Sure, sure, believe what you want." Annabelle added to the conversation the rest of the carriage ride was silent as Rose imagined their study session. It's not a date and I don't like him, but those eyes sure are easy to get lost in... SHUT UP ROSE! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT! He is going to help you pass 'History of magic', which you need to if you want to be head girl next year. Rose was having an internal fight about what she thought the study session really was. Well it's not that I don't think he's hot, I know he is, every girl in the school knows he is. It's just that... well... he's a MALFOY!
Rose eventually gave up the fight and allowed herself to replay their lunch together over and over again, just thinking back to when their eyes met and she was sure she would drown.
A/N: Again I really appreciate each and every review I get. It really does help me.
Unfortunately I have to go back to school tomorrow and I can only update on weekends as it is a boarding school and they block most sites. I may be able to get one more chapter in but don't count on it.
