There's the Sun, Then There's the Moon

DISCLAIMER: JK ROWLING IS NOT GINGER

Chapter 2

As the sun broke through the small crack in the window she opened her eyes and yawned. Today was Saturday, she pondered, most Saturdays had a routine and were gone before anyone had a chance to say or do otherwise. She wanted to do something different.

Walking down the stairs into the common room, he noticed a blazing ball of red in the corner of his eye, he followed the sound of her radiant laugh to the corner of the common room but she looked different. Even though her face sat content in her normal smile her eyes portrayed a different emotion all together. Rose Weasley looked bored he concluded.

Just smile and maybe they'll go away she thought to herself as she rested her head in her hands but as she was watching her friends charm their skin different colours in front of her she couldn't help but notice the Malfoy boy coming out of the boys' dorms, he was looking at her.

He continued to stare at her, study her features as if hoping for any other signs of emotion but he got none, her eyes lit up again and her giggle radiated across the common room.

"Rosie what's up with you? Have you been listening to a word we said?" her friends chimed and she returned her gaze to them,

"Sorry I was dis..."

They frowned at her and looked to see what had been holding her attention for so long; it wasn't like Rose to miss out on some air brain schemes because she was distracted. They saw a boy with hair brighter than the moon sitting in an armchair facing them, when he noticed their gaze upon him he shoved his head inside his book and not so discretely turned bright red, one to match her hair.

They both giggled and said a little too loudly in unison, "AWH ROSE HAS A THING FOR MALFOY,"

She sighed, this was the trouble with being friends with twins, they think the same, feel the same, look the same and talk the same. Rolling her eyes at the numerous stares she was receiving from surrounding Gryffindors she noticed Scorpius get up and scurry out of the portrait hole faster than you could say 'Merlins knickers.'

He needed to get out of there, the amount of people staring... he shuddered. Then he heard footsteps getting louder and faster behind him and taking a huge breath he looked over his shoulder. He immediately regretted this.

She was running as fast as she could in her kitten heels down the corridor, her hair billowing behind her in the light breeze entering through the cracks in the window frame. She shuddered.

Why was she following him? His mind started racing and he must have looked panicked as when she reached him a look of concern masked her delicate features.

Why was she following him? She'd never spoken more than a few words to this boy yet she felt like she knew him, she knew him and she wanted to make sure he was alright.

She took a few more steps towards him and placed her small hand on his arm,

"You okay?" she asked softly

He just shrugged.

"Don't say much do you?"

He chanced a glance up at her, his eyes catching hers and he was immediately lost. They were like nothing he had ever seen before, a beautiful deep brown with tiny specks of green but that wasn't the best part, they were full of emotion, not like this morning when she had half heartedly been talking to her friends but real emotion. Concern mostly but he did not dismiss the glint of humour that twinkled, especially in her right eye. He tilted his head... hmm maybe it was just the light?

She held out her hand, "Rose Weasley, but my friends call me Rosie,"

His eyes nearly shot out his head and she laughed,

"You take the hand," she said still holding back stifles of laughter and grabbing his hand from his side, "and shake mine," she placed his hand in hers.

"Scorpius Malfoy," he murmured

"He speaks," she smiled, "You can stop shaking my hand now though you know,"

Nope it was definitely not the light, the laughter was evident in her eyes as they twinkled if possible even more brightly.

"Going anywhere in particular?" she questioned

"Hadn't planned on it, just wanted to get out of there," he gestured behind him with his hand,

"Urgh I know how you feel, can be overwhelming sometimes right? No space to think?"

He nodded and looked at the floor.

They walked in silence towards nowhere in particular for a few minutes before she reached into her pocket and pulled out a brown paper bag.

"Here," she said handing him a white round sweet no bigger than a marble, "New in, not on the shelves yet, I have to trail them,"

He accepted the sweet a little dubious of what would happen when he put it in his mouth, he had after all heard magnificent but horrible tails about Weasley products and had no wish to sprout three extra legs and grow a beard, but to his surprised he chewed and swallowed, a distinct flavour of mint rushing through his senses but apart from that nothing.

"Taste good?" she asked

He nodded, "I'm not some sort of weird three legged monster am I?"

She laughed, "Not that I can see,"

"ROSIE," someone screeched from behind them

She sighed, "Never get any peace around here do you?"

"Guess not"

"ROSIE!" it screeched again

"I better go," she said apologetically

"Yeah... okay s-see you around?"

She grinned at him and turned away skipping down the hall.

"Err, Rose?" he called after her, slightly shocked his voice could reach that decibel, "Hogsmede soon, I was just wondering if you'd-"

She turned round and walked towards him, "Love to," she whispered before reaching up and kissing his lips gently, before he knew it her blazing red hair was bouncing down the corridor after her friends who had started grumbling impatiently.

He stared at her as she skipped down the hall.

She turned her head to look at him.

He smiled at her, and she smiled back.

okay so bit of a funny story here, this was only supposed to be a one shot but then me being... well me, forgot to put it as complete so decided hey hoe it can have another chapter but im sorry if this isnt the same style/ what you were expecting :D so yeah..

i only have one exam left so im most likely going to be doing alot of updating of my other stories which you might maybe like, if you like Scorp (yum) then if you have a minute i wrote a short one shot about him, its the total opposite to this just to give you and idea its called 'I am Fabulous' summary: Because I'm so sexily badass I make dementors look like a pet that you can put in a hamster wheel and watch run round the room. it is definitely most safe to say I'm so fucking gorgeous I give veela a run for their money. Rated T for language.
