I woke up next morning, having slept on my new bed in the Head Girl dormitory. Last night I played cards with Al, Lily, and Scorpius. I had to admit, it was fun. Even if it did include Malfoy.
I hopped out of bed and walked over to the bureau. Looking in the mirror, my eyes widened. My hair was a mess! Not that it wasn't like this every morning, but today seemed worse. I quickly sifted through my still packed toiletry bag for a brush. Having found one, I unsuccessfully ran it through my hair.
Ugh! Of all days! Malfoy will tease me to no end. As a last resort, I pulled it back and braided it; the only way to really tame my hair when it's like this. I changed quickly and walked out the door, hesitating for a moment. Malfoy was writing at his desk, humming quietly to himself.
I should announce myself somehow, I thought. Should I do it verbally or cough or something? "Morning, Malfoy." I snapped a little. I really wasn't a morning person.
"Weasley," he said, not even glancing up. I held my chin high and cascaded down the spiral staircase.
I walked over to my desk and gathered my books, purposefully being noisy. Malfoy looked up and glared at me. I mocked his trademark smirk and asked, "What're you writing?"
"The life and times of Scorpius Malfoy."
I gave him a questioning look, "You're kidding me, right?"
"Yes."
I rolled my eyes and started to walk out when Malfoy called to me. "Why are you taking your Charms textbooks, too? We only have Transfiguration and double Magical Creatures."
Rolling my eyes again, I turned, and said slowly, "Because I can."
"More of a burden on you."
That boy frustrates me so much! I felt the blood rush to my face in anger and quickly turned. Sighing, I walked out of the Dorm and sprinted down to the Great Hall.
As I sat down at the Gryffindor table, I pulled a jug of orange juice towards me. "Hey, Hugo, you never came to the prefect compartment yesterday on the train." I said, pouring myself a glass.
He didn't answer. "Hugo?"
Nothing.
"Earth to Hugo!"
"Can't you see, Rose? He's not talking to you!" Lily said, sighing at my stupidity.
Oh, I see how it is. I wonder why... I'll get him to talk. "I snogged Malfoy last night, you know."
"That can't be. Al and Lily were with you!" Hugo said, quite appalled.
"Ha! Now why weren't you talking to me?"
He still didn't answer. Time to kick it up a notch. "Oh yeah, I snogged Malfoy last night. After Al and Lily left. It was really hot-"
"Stop!" Al yelled.
I shot an innocent look at him. He rolled his eyes. "Honestly, use someone -anyone! - Other than Scorpius."
"Fine. But Hugo! Why won't you talk to me?"
"Hey, Weasley! Is it true that you drool?" A Slytherin teased. I glared at him and his friend, who just happened to be Malfoy.
"I'm sorry," I said, "You may have mistaken me for Malfoy." Several people whooped and I grinned.
Malfoy glowered at me. As he stepped forward he gave a quick remark, "You know you talk in your sleep, right Rosie?"
It's on. I stood and moved closer. I got in his face, "At least I haven't done every girl in my house."
"Oh, but that's quite an accomplishment."
"Sure, if you wanna be that kind of player."
"Who ever said is was a bad thing?"
"Society."
Several people whooped again, and I knew I won. But we continued to glare at each other. Then there was a shift in Malfoy's eyes. Suddenly there was some kind of... passion? I blushed that famous Weasley blush, but noticed a little pink in his cheeks too. I raised a questioning brow.
His glower returned and he chuckled, "Well I intend to rebel against society." He said with finality. Dammit, he won. Walking away proudly, he and his friends moved over to the Slytherin table.
"Rose, why can't you and Scorpius just get along?" Al whined.
I turned my glare on him, "Why can't you just accept the fact I hate him and call him Malfoy?" I grabbed a piece of toast and stalked out of the Hall. What does Al see in Malfoy? He's rude, arrogant, selfish, cheeky, a show off, teacher's pet-
"Rose!" I whirled around, glaring at whomever I could.
"Oh. What do you want, Lily?"
"Let's have breakfast in the courtyards!" She came up and linked her arm in mine. Holding up a piece of toast, she smiled and dragged me outside.
"Lily!" I groaned. I'm not in the mood for people right now.
"So, Rosie, tell me, is there anything you like about Scorpius? At all?"
"You-"
"Really, Rose. Answer me seriously. Think."
I rolled my eyes, but listened anyway. Well, there was that hair... And his eyes, his hands were really nice, too. I'm a sucker for nice hands. Then there was that smirk of his.
"Wow, Rose." Lily gasped. I looked in her eyes and realized I had just said that out loud. Crap!
"Wh-What?" Play stupid and maybe she'll let it go.
"ROSE!" Sure, maybe in an alternate universe.

"Dude, did you see the look on Weasley's face?" John barked. He's so annoying; I don't know why I hang out with him. "She so wants you to do her!"
I shuddered at the thought. "Shut up." I shoved a spoonful of cereal in my mouth and looked up. A cute seventh year was looking my way. Winking at her and watching her blush, I thought of Weasley and how every other blush pales in comparison to hers. The girl and her friend giggled and whispered, glancing my way.
The warning bell for class rang and the Great Hall cleared out fast. Sighing, I stretched and collapsed back on the table. After a few minutes, there was a slap on the back of my head. Looking up, I saw an angry, freckle-covered face. I smiled innocently. "Malfoy, you're not going to be late on our first day," Weasley snapped.
"Well, then, Weasley, aren't we wasting time by being here?" I replied, raising an eyebrow. She glared straight into my eyes, grabbed my tie, and slapped me.
"We aren't wasting time anymore." She gathered my books and shoved them in my chest and stalked off. That girl is feisty.
I followed in suit unwillingly, the whole time that annoying bloke John kept saying, "You got told!"
After Transfiguration, I reluctantly walked to Magical Creatures. That's about the most boring subject taught at Hogwarts! We have the clumsiest half-giant for a teacher and books that'll eat our faces if we don't open them correctly. A redhead fell instep with me. I glanced over and saw Weasley, clutching her books against her chest with crossed arms. "Malfoy, I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for the sake of my cousin and brother, but I-" she sucked in a deep breath and continued, "I'm sorry."
I smirked and raised an eyebrow, like I always do. "You are?"
She nodded stiffly and I threw my arm around her, "Isn't that just peachy?"
"Off, Malfoy." I didn't move. "Get off me, Malfoy, or I'll be forced to slap you again."
With that I quickly withdrew my arm. My cheek tingled with the memory of that slap. By then we reached our teacher's hut and Weasley went off with her friends. Albus's lanky figure walked over, "Hey Scorpius."
"Al." I said with a nod. I probably sounded a bit distracted, but that's because I was. I was looking over at Weasley's way. She was talking quite angrily with her friends. Hagrid, our teacher, began talking and explaining what we would be doing today. My eyes wandered around, every time landing on Weasley. I tried not to look at her, but I couldn't help myself. And eventually, she would catch my gaze and blush that famous Weasley blush of hers.
"Scorpius! That's my cousin you know!" Albus's annoyed, angry voice broke through my daze.
"Right," I hesitated, "sorry, Al."
"It's fine, just don't stare at her like that, it's worrying me that you two might warm up to each other that fast!"
"Right. Now if yer don't mind, grab yer books and follow me," Hagrid said, as he lead the group away from his hut's grounds. I grabbed my books and stood from my seat on the grass slope. Stealing a glance at Weasley, I followed the crowd that was moving into the forest.
"Scorpius?" I turned, expecting Albus or John. It wasn't, it was that girl I winked at earlier during breakfast.
"Oh hey," I said.
"My name's Caroline, nice to meet you." she said, messing with her skirt.
We flirted with each other as we walked deeper into the Forbidden Forest. Every now and then I would glance at Weasley. Yet, she never caught my glance for the rest of the class; she was too interested in the lesson.
***
I walked back to the Head Dormitory with Al. We were talking about the lesson Hagrid gave today. I thought it was pretty interesting, and so did he. But of course, Malfoy didn't even pay attention. Nope, he was too busy flirting with a fake if I ever saw one. Her skirt too short, her chest too big, her hair unnaturally blonde. But I just decided to ignore him. If he wanted to be the worst Head Boy then so be it, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to be the worst Head Girl.
When I entered the Head Dormitory, I thought I'd be there before Scorpius, but I wasn't. There he was, snogging with that fake on the couch. ALREADY! It's the first day! I looked over at Al, who was blushing slightly. His eyes told me, "You're announcing us."
I coughed loudly and Malfoy and the girl immediately shoved away from each other, both embarrassed. "Oh yeah," I growled, "Don't misuse the Dorm!" I crossed my arms and glared at the two of them.
"I would've thought you would spend your free period all alone in a cubicle at the Library, Weasley." Scorpius snapped, recovering quickly.
I just glowered and pointed at the door. She knew what that meant. I turned to Al and he understood as well. The two scuttled out of the Dorm and I rounded on Malfoy. "Bloody hell, Malfoy. Are you trying to get us detention? Or worse, probation?"
"Someone sounds a bit jealous," he taunted. I wanted to slap him so bad. I curled my fist in a ball and sat down with a huff.
"You wish." And with that I grabbed a book that was resting on the table, shoving it in front of my face, not really reading. I just sat there, thinking of ways to get him expelled. Get him to snog that girl again and drag McGonagall in here to see it. Or change the password without him knowing and get him locked out. So many posilbilities.
As I looked to the window, I saw that the sun and its rays drifted away and darkness taking its place. I yawned as Scorpius went upstairs, my eye lids lowering as he took each step, and with that, I fell into a deep sleep in front of the glowing fire.
