Chapter 2

Scorpius waited outside the corridor to the girl's dorms waiting for Raven. He was in his Quidditch uniform, reading for practice that afternoon. He was a seeker, and a damn good one at that. Slytherin hadn't lost one match last year, and this weekend they were playing their first game of the season against Gryffindor.

Corvette tottered out of the corridor into the Slytherin common room, her pure white Persian, Raphael in her arms. She was just about to go meet Raven in the library for some help on her charms homework that she just couldn't understand. It also didn't help that she was too busy playing footsie with Lazer to pay much attention.

'C! Have you seen Raven? I need to ask her something!' Scorpius yelled after Corvette. She hadn't even noticed him as she walked past.

'Why, S? You going to ask her to marry you?' Corvette said, quickly composing herself after the shock of realizing he was there. It was a joke, but she had also noticed the way he had looked at Raven on the train. Corvette wondered if Lazer ever looked at her like that.

'Oh, yes! I must have her to myself; I'm going to ask for her hand in marriage before another suitor beats me to it.' Scorpius replied, faking his confession to Corvette. 'Nah really, where is she?'

'I'm about to go meet her in the library now. Want to come?'

'I can't, Quidditch practice.' Scorpius said, pointing to his Slytherin kit. 'When you see her can you tell her to meet me in the common room after practice?'

'Sure.' Corvette said and walked off towards the library.

As she walked in she noticed Rose Weasley sitting at one of the desks, her nose buried in a book, as always.

'Nerd.' Corvette coughed as she sauntered past.

Rose looked up from her book, unsure of whether to say anything. She had been picked on by Corvette since they were sorted into their respective houses 3 years ago. Rose didn't know what she had done wrong. 'I-I'd rather be a nerd then a-a whore!'

'What did you say to me?' Corvette yelled, pulling out her pine wand with Dragon heart string. She had never been called a whore before, and was not about to let little Weasley be the first. Corvette actually liked Rose, for she had a natural intelligence that Corvette was missing. Corvette was only mean to her because of the house rivalry and also her father had his ego hurt by Hermione in their 6th year.

Raven heard the commotion from the back desk she was studying at. She ran up to all the noise to see students gathered around Corvette with her wand out and a very scared looking Rose Weasley.

'No, Corvette!' Raven yelled as she tried to restrain Corvette from jinxing Rose. Raphael had jumped out of Corvette's arms and had run out of the room.

'But that brat called me a whore!' Corvette screamed, her honey blond hair falling in wispy ringlets around her flustered face. 'Raven, let go!'

'Rose, leave or she will do it!' Raven yelled at the cowering Rose, a book still in her arms.

'I'm s-sorry... I don't know what came over me.' Rose stammered and scurried out of the room.

'You'd better be sorry you little bitch.' Corvette called after her.

'Come on, let's go back to the dorms and study there.' Raven coaxed and led Corvette out of the room.

Lazer Zambini came running up to them, still sweating and in his kit, straight from Quidditch practice. He kissed Corvette on the cheek before he said 'You need to come to the hospital wing. Scorpius is hurt.'
