I really did not expect that this story would be so loved :D
I'm going to try to continue this, but I don't think i could ever match up to chapter one again. Still, i hope you like this chapter too =)
More or less 2 months later.
It was Friday afternoon. Sixth year potions was a joke. Last night it snowed like crazy so the whole of Hogwarts was covered in several inches of snow. She needed a moment of quiet and peace.
So that's why Rose Weasley was out here, skipping potions to get an early start on her weekend.
Having such a large family can get to you sometimes. Rose needed to have some space and alone time.
She sat down on a bench near the lake and watched this new, pure world around her. She put on her Ipod, the most brilliant gift anybody had ever given her.
She had no idea how it worked, some devilish muggle magic probably. But she didn't care. All she had to do was hook it up to her computer, put some songs on it and she could have her favorite music with her all the time. The thing became like a third arm or something, inseparable.
She was slowly drifting away when E.T. from Katy Perry started playing. She had an instant flashback to that night. The night she met perfection.
She hadn't told anybody about that night. What was she supposed to say anyway, that she fell in love with a beautiful stranger and she had no idea who he was? But that didn't stop her heart from racing everytime she saw somebody with blond hair. The problem was that there were just so many students now the war was over. Once everybody felt safe they started to breed like bunnies it seemed. So now Hogwarts was stocked up with post-war childeren.
But Rose was a firm believer in true love. If it is meant to be, they will find each other again one way or the other right? It has to be real, she didn't think she could ever find somebody else.
But that said, she tried not to think about it. She tried to concentrate on her wonderfull music. The disadvantage of this amazing muggle-magic-music-box was that she constantly wanted to dance. In her room, during dinner, even through class if she could sit in the back and pretent to be fascinated by the all so interesting material.
A new song started and Rose slowly got up. She closed her eyes and started to sway on her feet. She always felt so free when she was dancing, like nothing in this world could stop her from what she wanted. She gently moved her body with the music, becoming one with the melody. She was completely focused on her own world and had no idea somebody else was watching her…
2 and a half months, 79 days, 1896 hours or 113760 minutes. That's how long ago he saw the most perfect creature alive. Not that Scorpius was keeping track or anything.
He was skipping potions today, the class was just a joke. He didn't want to brag, but the things professor Hornet came up with were just ridiculous. He already made every damn potion in his sixth year potions book at home so it's not like he's actually missing something.
Scorpius needed some fresh air. Hogwarts was to crowded these days, or maybe it was because he was constantly searching for her. He needed to find her, to breath in her flowery scent again, to hold her and never let go. He was so whipped.
It was all he could think about, every damn minute of every damn day.
Thankfully Albus didn't remember a thing from that night, not so suprising after the amount of alcohol he consumed. He knew it was selfish but he didn't want to share that night with his best friend.
Scorpius was wandering aimlessly over the grounds of Hogwarts when he suddenly saw her again. Just a dark spot, far away, but it was definitely her, he would recognize her dancing out of millions of people. His breath stuck in his troat and he couldn't move, what should he do? Go over there and confront her or watch from here and try to find out who she is? He desperately wanted to go over there, but what if she didn't remember that night, what if she changed her mind and doesn't want anything to do with him?
What the fuck was wrong with him? He was never scared to talk to a girl! And now he couldn't even move his feet in her direction, let alone talk to her.
A little bit closer without her noticing couldn't hurt anybody right? With firm determination he stepped in her direction. His pace quickened and his heart was beating faster and faster. Just a little closer, just a little more.
Now that he was on the move he couldn't stop. He needed to know who she was, he needed to talk to her, he needed to have her.
He could see her silhouette clearly now and again he was mesmerized by her dancing.
His eyes followed her hips, gently swaying with some unheard music. Her head thrown back, eyes closed and enjoying her own world. Just a few more metres, he was almost there.
He gathered all his courage and called out, "Excuse me, are you.."
Before he could finish what he was about to say she turned around and he could finally see her.
His world was turned upside down. Not because of how she looked without a mask, but because the girl of his dreams was Rose Weasley.
Rose fucking Weasley. Well, he definitely didn't see that one coming.
"..Rose Weasley?" He continued in shock.
"Yes Scorpius, I am Rose Weasley. I thought you'd know that by now. You need to know your own name too? Scorpius Malfoy it is, but I think it's more appropiate to call you dumbass right now."
Rose her good mood was killed instantly. She was really enjoying her music and here he was again, ruining the moment. God he could be such an ass. Why the hell came he all the way here to ask my name? Probably inhaled to many potions fumes or something like that.
Scorpius couldn't stop staring. How could it be Rose? That Weasley snob has been ruining his entire Hogwarts career until now. He just couldn't stand the damn girl and now he was in love with her? There had to be a mistake, they can't be the same girl.
His girl was beautiful, and smart, and a good dancer, and and..
Everything that Rose was too.
He just couldn't get his head around the idea that little snobby Rose Weasley could be so sexy like at the party. It was like a whole new side of her he just found out. One he kinda wanted to get to know better.
He already made up his mind, well he didn't really have a choice. He was head over heels with Rose Weasley, and he had to have her.
But she will never fall for a guy like you Scorpius, she's the one you can never have..
Rose's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "Whatever, I'm going back to the castle."
And with that she left him standing there, still baffled by the discovery who the girl of his dreams actually is.
In all her years of teaching, headmistress McGonagall had never met anybody smarter and stupider at the same time than Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley.
Who do they think they are, just skipping class because they read the book? Reading and learning are two very different things! Thank god they actually are smart enough not to set them self on fire when trying out potions they aren't supposed to know about yet but still, she had to set the right example for the rest of the students or there wouldn't be anyone left in class!
McGonagall was mumbling some more nonsense to herself when she ran into one of the two persons she was searching
"Miss Weasley! And what do you think you are doing here outside?" She hated using her 'mean teacher voice', but with these kids you didn't have another choice.
"Just on my way to class professor. I had to.. uhm.. sent an owl to my parents. Very urgent you know." Rose was lying trough her teeth and she knew it. And McGonagall probably knew it herself too, why else was she here outside but to search for her?
"Keep telling that to yourself miss Weasley and maybe one day you will believe it yourself. But for now I think an evening detention if fairly reasonable don't you think?"
Rose looked down in shame and mumbled a very quite "Yes professor." She had never had detention before in her whole Hogwarts career.
"Now if I were you i'd hurry up to class miss Weasley, I'll see you tomorrow eveningen after diner. Now excuse me please, I need to find somebody else who apparently had to sent an emergency owl too."
Rose quickly hurried along to class before she could get into any more trouble
Now mister Malfoy, where are you hiding today? McGonagall glanced around the grounds and quickly spotted the other felon. With a few fast paces she was close enough to yell. She defineltly needed to yell with this one, he seemed to never learn.
"MISTER MAYLFOY, AND WHAT EXACLY ARE WE DOING HERE OUTSIDE?"
His head spun around so fast when he heard her voice he almost fell over from the momentum. He recovered quick though, "Just going to the owlery professor. I had some urgent business that couldn't wait."
"Ofcourse you were mister Malfoy, but you know the rules. I'll see you in detention tomorrow evening after diner. And now get back to class before I make it 2 detentions!"
McGonagall loved all the students here at Hogwarts, but those two certainly didn't make here job easy.
