Flowers, Scorpions, and Wizards OH MY

Chapter 3

Snow cascaded down around the horde of screaming students. Then there was a sudden whoosh that slammed even colder air into the sensitive ivory face of young Rose as a flash of blue rushed by on a broom. Yes it was the final game of Quidditch before the winter holidays. Albus and Scorpious had dragged her out in this disastrous weather to see a bunch of people get beat up on brooms. Rose didn't practically favor Quidditch. It was alright to watch, but really all she could tell was the teams apart. Rose had no clue what was going on ever! All she knew is when Albus and Scorpious cheered their house had scored, and so she cheered with them. Right now though she was concentrating on warming her frozen face and fingers with a warming charm she had learnt.

She wished she had put on gloves, but no "there wasn't enough time for her to find her gloves!" she quoted Albus in her mind. He was going to pay dearly for making her freeze half to death. Rose would rather be sitting in the common room right about now, curled up next to a nice warm fire, and losing herself in a book! Not out in harsh winter weather.

"What's with the frown?" a voice asked knocking her out her deep thought. She knew who the voice belong to instantly.

"Well I am practically freezing half to death. I'm not too sure I was made to be out in this kind of weather," laughed Rose as she rubbed her hands together again. The charm hadn't been working to well. 'I need to practice it more,' she thought to herself.

While Rose was busy trying to get her hands to warm up once more Scorpious had slipped his gloves off, and gone to hand them to her.

"Here you can use my gloves. I don't really need them," he smiled at her.

"No that's alright you don't have to. I wouldn't want you to get cold just for my sake," she pushed the gloves back toward him.

"It's okay really," smiling he went to hand her the gloves again, "I don't need them. The cold doesn't really bother me."

"Are you sure Scorpious?" Rose questioned looking at the gloves in his hand hesitantly.

"Yes I am pretty positive Rose. Here take them," he laughed and then when she still looked down at them hesitantly he took her hands in his and shoved the gloves on them, "There was that so hard?"

"Thanks," she laughed feeling a bit embarrassed, "Uh Scorpious, can I have my hands back please?"

"Oh yeah, uh I'm sorry," Scorpious laughed nervously letting Rose's hands fall from his, and then looking away so she wouldn't see his face growing red.

Though what Scorpious didn't know was that as he turned back to a wildly cheering Albus that Rose's face became red as a blush creped along it. She had no clue what had just happen between her and Scorpious.

'Nothing could be happening, could it? I mean were only twelve. Were too young for that kind of stuff to even be crossing our minds.' With that thought she pushed what had happen completely from her head. She was going to forget it. She couldn't have those feelings for the young Malfoy. She was too young, and that's what she was going to stick with.

Once she had pushed it all behind her she walked up to where her cousin and Scorpious were standing. They seemed completely engulfed in the game, and Rose could see why. The Ravenclaw seeker was going after the Golden Snitch. Rose had never bothered to learn much about Quidditch, but that was one thing she knew was that the seeker who caught the Golden Snitch won their team the game. Rose watched and her gaze turned intense with anticipation as the seeker became closer and closer to the Snitch. He was reaching a shaking hand out for the Snitch which seemed closer than before, and just before his hands clasped around the small golden ball it streaked out of his way soaring skyward. The whole crowd gasped as the seeker whipped around rocketing toward the snowy down fall trying to gain on the Snitch. The seeker gained on the Snitch closer and closer once more, and just when everyone was sure it was going to streak out of reach again the seekers hands clasped over it, and the whole crowd screamed. Ravenclaw had won the final game!

Albus, Scorpious, and Rose turned to each other smiling wildly and screamed at the same time, "OUR HOUSE WON!" Then they jumped into a giant group hug cheering and screaming while they did. Even Rose was in the spirit. 'I'm going to have to give this Quidditch thing a chance,' Rose thought excitedly.

Everyone was still cheering crazy for Ravenclaw, except for Slytherin, Slytherin looked completely furious. She could tell that they were not going to take this defeat lightly, but at that very moment it didn't matter to anyone.

"Okay guys," Rose got serious remembering the freezing cold that was threatening to take away all the feeling in her face, "Can we please go back to the common room now before the cold turns me into a statue?"

Albus and Scorpious burst out in a bad case of laughter. "Do you hear her Scorp?" Albus turned to his white haired friend laughing. "Yes I did good man, and I can't believe we finally beat Slytherin and she's worried about the weather!" Scorpious faked being appalled, but dissolved into a fit of laughter once more. Rose glare in mock anger and slapped them both over the head.

"We were just joking Rose!" Albus exclaimed laughing still. With a huff Rose turned and walked off not caring if either of the boys were following her. She was going to get out of this horrible cold, and see if she cared if they became frozen statues.


"I can't believe it! We actually beat Slytherin!" Albus was still running on a victory high hours later, and could really not sit still for even a mere second. Though no one could really blame him because it was a miracle that one of the houses had finally beat Slytherin. So far Ravenclaw had been the first to win a Quidditch match from Slytherin.

"Well that shows Slytherin. I mean all those wins must have gotten to their already ego driven heads. It was time they lost at something," Rose laughed. Albus who still couldn't sit still for more than a few seconds stood up looking like he wanted to bolt around the castle screaming about Ravenclaws victory. Rose laughed once more at this. She really couldn't wait to see how he would act once he tried out for the Quidditch team next year.

'Gosh,' she told herself, 'the two of them are going to be even worse next year when it comes to Quidditch.'

Rose sighed averting her gaze to the fire that blazed brightly in front of her. She couldn't believe it. In one week she would be at her nice cozy home with her mum, dad, and Brother Hugo. Rose couldn't wait for the holidays to start! She had been missing her family a lot lately. She wanted to tell her mum about everything that had happen at Hogwarts so far. Though she had to admit she would miss her friends at Hogwarts, but she'd be back here soon enough. That and she'd write to all of them over the holidays!

"I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight guys. Goodnight," yawned Rose feeling completely drained from the long day in the cold. 'I still have to think of a way to get back at Albus,' Rose smiled in a amusement at this thought.

As she half dragged herself up the stairs that lead to the girls dorms she heard a 'Goodnight Rose' from each of the boys. She knew when that once her head hit her pillow tonight that she would be passed out.

A/N: Well I hope all of you enjoyed that chapter! Ive made it longer, and fixed it up on you again. Sorry about that, but I have a hard time pleasing myself with my own writing, and have to go back and fix a lot if I am not satisfied with it XD. Please review :)!
