Day 164

"Rose?" Scorpius looked softly into my eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Do you like Spencer Hamilton?"

"Ferret." I warn him.

"Answer me Rose!" Scorpius growled.

"Yes, of course!" I sigh as I answer.

"You do?"

"Yes! Didn't I just say that?" I snapped.

"So do you want to break up with him?"

"Why would I do that? I just said I like him! Why do you care so much anyways?"

"Hugo wants you to break up with him," Scorpius lied with ease.

Unfortunately for Scorpius, I've always been good at catching lies. I raised an eyebrow gave him my 'Really….' look.

"Okay, okay! I want you to break up. Happy?"

"Why do you want me to break up with Spencer?"

"Oh- hey! Is that the time? Got to run, Quidditch practice!"

I caught his shirt as he tried to dash.

"Scorpius! I know just as well as you do that your next practice is Saturday, due to Daisy Parkinson being in the Hospital Wing from a bludger. I'm not THAT thick."

"Remind me to make up better excuses. And not to tell you when I have practice."

"Don't tire yourself for useless things! The ones you come up with will never work anyways. And I have other friends in Slytherin; they'll tell me when you have practice." I said smugly.

"Hmph."

"Back to subject! Why do you care?"

"Cause you're like a sister to me and Spencer Hamilton is right git."

"You just think he's a git because he is captain of Gryffindor team. And you're lying again. Please don't lie a third time. You'd be a perfect target for a hex." I threatened.

"Well, don't be mad at me, okay? It's purely Quidditch, really. I just think that if you dumped Spencer before the match, he would be a wreck and not play well. Please don't hex me!"

"You thought that I would dump my boyfriend to sabotage my own house's match?" I took a breath in-between each word, trying to stay calm.

"Well when you say it like that…"

Just then Spencer walked down the stairs, into the Great Hall.

"Spence! Over here!" I called Spencer over.

"Oh- hey Rose!" Spencer greeted me warmly, "Malfoy." He said coldly.

"Hamilton." Scorpius replied, not one bit nicer.

"What's up Rose? You look as if you could murder someone. What did Malfoy do?"

"It's okay, Spence. We're just talking about Quidditch, and how we are going to crush Slytherin in the match Saturday. Sadly, Scorpius here doesn't agree."

"Then we'll just have to prove him wrong, won't we Rosie?"

"Of course! Especially with James, Hugo, You, Alice and Lily on the team; we'll be untouchable!"

As we debated over our strengths and weaknesses Scorpius left, and we didn't notice until we realized Spencer's legs were stuck together. I got 2 months detention after what I did to Scorpius's face.
