Wow, I haven't written this one in a while! Here is the next chapter. If you like it, please request for the next chapter, I have it ready. Right, so, don't be confused, but this chapter is in Rose Weasley's POV. Charlie Longbottom/Henry Finnegan + Rose/Scorpius are going to be the main couples in this story, I don't want to deal with a whole bunch of others, but they'll make little appearances.
Madeline was crushing my legs with her body weight.
"Maddy! Get OFF me!" I yelled at her, my mouth covered by my blanket. I sat upright.
It wasn't Maddy, it was Albus. Maddy was there too-and oh, Avada Kedava me here and now-Scorpius was standing over me as well. Grinning like Christmas had come early, with his dumb little back-to-school haircut.
"Albus Severus Potter, GET OFF!" I yelled again.
"Good morning, sunshine!" Albus said sarcastically, getting off my legs and letting me go. "We thought we would wake you up for breakfast-since it's your favorite part of the day...and usually without school you don't get up until noon."
I glared at him, ready to attack if I needed to.
"C'mon, Rose! Let's go!" Maddy (all bright and happy, as usual) grabbed my hand and skipped down the steps. I, however, released myself from her grip and purposefully walked like a zombie, almost causing Scorpius to trip.
"How did you even get up to the girl's dormitories?" I asked lazily.
"Maddy," Scorpius and Albus said in unison.
Maddy walked faster to keep me off her heels.
We were playing a muggle game called "I Never." You had to say something you'd never done, and if somebody else has, they drink. So that night, in the common room, after out first day of lessons and after a delicious Hogwarts dinner, we passed around the pumpkin juice.
Fred began. "I never have eaten gnome," he said gallantly. Of course no one touched their drinks. Nobody ever touched their drinks when Fred said something, because his were always so outlandish.
It was Hugo's turn. "I never used dark magic." he said. Again, no one drank, but a couple were daring enough to glance at Scorpius furtively.
"Stop looking at me!" Scorpius said uncomfortably.
"I'll go," I said quickly, grabbing the tankard which enabled one to have a turn. "I never-er-got below excellent on a test."
Scorpius groaned. "I knew you would find something to brag about!" he drank along with everyone else. Once, Professor Donnogan gave him an 'average' on his Sorcerer's Stone essay because his last paragraph was burred away by a water stain.
James took the tankard from me. "I've never had a crush on anyone in this common room!" he informed us.
"Thank goodness," Rox muttered as she and Ian drank. They had been going out for a couple months.
Everyone else just sat and looked at one another, cleary uncomfortable, firstly because half of them were related, and the other half were close friends with the Weasley/Potter family.
I looked down my goblet. Once, I had told Rox that I liked David Wikins because she wouldn't stop asking me if Scorpius and I were only friends. I remembered when Scorpius found out, he told me that it really wasn't in my best interest to like David because he was 'academically depraved.' He gave David these odd scowls for the rest of the term. Once I thought I heard him mutter a hex under his breath, but then again, Scorpius has always muttered things under his breath.
For a moment David caught my eye and actually winked at me before drinking. Oh, great, I thought, he thinks I still like him. Well if he asks me out I'm hitting him. I'll kick him in his-
"Rose." Rox was looking at me suggestively. I huffed laboriously and glanced at Scorpius as I took a sip.
Then, Albus, Madeline, Lily, Jake, Louis, Henry, Hugo, Charlie, Fred, and Opal drank. Scorpius fiddled with his goblet for a second, and then he too took a sip. He was frowning, though. Frowning in the direction of Jared and Loren holding hands by the windowsill.
I always had a suspicion that Scorpius had a crush on Loren Engles. She was pretty-choppy bonde hair, big blue eyes, incredible boyfriend record...why were boys into the heartbreakers? It just seemed like Scorpius would be smarter than that. I played with the rim of my skirt and tried not to think of them. Especially not Scorpius, with his cold stare, steel eyes, his Titan-like body enabling him to catch quaffle after quaffle, barely blinking in the process...and he was smart, beyond smart. So he wouldn't like Loren, no...then why was he staring at her?
Somebody was whispering into my ear. It took me a while to realize that it was Albus. "You don't like anyone, do you, Rose?" Scorpius could hear him, he wasn't talking low enough.
"No." I said, unable to tell if I was being convincing.
Rox snorted. "Rose is the worst liar."
"You'll tell me later," Albus said matter-of-factly.
"Me too," Scorpius joined in, apparently feeling that it was necessary to lean in my direction. "Even though I know it's David."
Rox deliberated. "Right, maybe David...or...maybe it's-"
"Rox, we didn't invite you into this conversation." I said breathlessly. Albus and Rox snickered at my response, while Scorpius gave me this funny, curious look.
We were all finishing up the next morning at breakfast. Scorpius had just produced a bunny from his robes. he was extremely proud of his new conjuring skills, of which I pretended to be unamused with, but I actually found fascinating.
"Oh, look at the time!" Charlie Longbottom said mistily, her blue eyes widening. "We better get to class!"
All of the sudden, Albus was standing in front of me. Something seemed to be troubling him. "If you really do like David, I'll kill you." he informed me.
To my great surprise, Scorpius pitched in, "'Cause you could get any boy you want. And there's tons better than him."
"I can't believe this madness," I said.
Scorpius stared at me with his soft, gray eyes. "Any boy in this school would go out with you, Rose." He said.
"All but one," I mumbled.
Scorpius appeared to be in deep thought.
"Anyway," I said, trying to distract them.
"Arithmatic this way," Albus finished for me.
Hope you liked it! Let me know if you would like alternating Charlie and then Rose POV chapters. As you can probably tell, Charlie is in first year, and Rose is in either third or fourth year, I haven't decided yet.
