Scorpius' POV:
As I walked back across the Great Hall, back to my own House table, Slytherin of course, I chuckled to myself. It was so easy to get Rose flustered. Not only was it easy, but I found it quite cute. Until that day I had never really put much thought toward Rose. Our paths had never really crossed.
As soon as I got to my own table I decided I wasn't really hungry anymore and headed out into the corridor.
Once down in my empty dormitory, in the dungeon area used for Slytherins. I was at a loss. I walked over to the full length mirror on the wall opposite the beds and stared. That boy in the mirror, pale, white blonde and handsome, was somehow Scorpius Malfoy. That reflection bore a striking resemblance to his father, Draco Malfoy and even his grandfather, Lucias Malfoy.
I stared into my reflection's pale face and felt my eyes sting as I thought about why the Malfoy name was feared. Both my father and my grandfather were Death Eaters, followers of the dark lord before he fell.
I pushed back my sleeves to reveal both wrists, smooth and white as milk. I presented both wrists, one at a time, to my reflection.
"See?" I said aloud. "No dark marks, nothing."
I felt a little better knowing I was so different from my father and grandfather. Even if we appeared alike on the outside, my wrists held no dark mark and my heart was good. I hated to watch others be in pain.
I decided I was done thinking about that and turned away from my sad looking reflection. I walked over to my curtained bed, yanked my shirt off, and climbed into the soft blankets, shutting the Slytherin adorned curtains behind me. It was barely eight O'clock but I decided right there that I was going to get up bright and early to find and empty classroom for my dancing lessons. In all honesty, I wasn't looking forward to trying to train my two left feet to waltz, however, I was looking forward to seeing Rose again. There was just something about her…
The next morning, when I woke, it was just sunrise and no one else was awake yet. I dressed quietly and made my way out to the corridor. I decided it would probably be best to start on the seventh floor and work my way down, checking for empty classrooms.
I found the perfect room almost immediately. I walked in all the way and shut the door behind me. It had several windows with a beautiful view of the now frozen lake and one corner had a stack of spare desks. The room was bright and airy and the walls were a pleasant shade of blue. I looked down at the dark wood floor and realized how dusty the room was. Dust coated the floor making it a dull gray color and it fogged the windows.
I decided that, since Rose and I could possibly be in there for a considerable amount of time I should probably clean it up a bit. I cast a simple dusting charm, which was all it really needed, and stepped back to do a quick once over. I decided it was perfect for its purpose. I left the room, giving it one last glance over my shoulder.
A few minutes later, I entered the Great Hall and glanced around the Ravenclaw table for a sign of the bright red hair belonging to Rose. I quickly found it and made my way across the Great Hall to her.
Once I reached her, I wasn't quite sure what to do. She didn't seem to notice me and her friend Tom wasn't there to point out that I was standing there. I touched her shoulder lightly and she jumped.
"Sorry," I said, feeling bad for startling her.
"Oh, it's alright," she said, looking slightly dazed.
"I found the perfect place and I am free the day after tomorrow." I said.
"Perfect place for what?" she asked, looking confused, again.
"Oh, um, you were going to teach me to dance, remember?" I said, hoping she would.
"Oh, yeah! Well, um, alright, what time?" she said, turning pink.
"How about I meet you there after lunch?" I suggested.
"Okay, um, I'll see you then." She said, blushing even deeper and looking down at her plate of bacon and fried tomatoes.
"See you," I said, and headed for the Slytherin table.
As I did I thought to myself, the perfect place.
