This is going wonderfully!
I have everything figured out.
Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to get myself into detention…
"Professor Sprout, can I talk to you?" I ask her.
"Sure." She smiles at me.
"Can I come to detention tonight?"
"Why?"
I ignore her. It takes too long to explain. "Please?"
"You are an odd one Miss Creevey… but yes, I suppose that would be fine…"
Well that sure was easy.
And it was a lot more convenient than waiting in that closet for a bunch of hours.

"You too, Creevey?" Scorpius asks me when he sees me sitting there. Rose was there before me (of course), but Scorpius sauntered in just a few minutes late.
Professor Sprout glanced at Scorpius, as if internally debating whether to punish him for being late or not. Apparently she decided it wasn't worth it and stood up.
"Okay, you are all good kids…" She pauses, like her own words are lies, which they just might be. "Just sit here and do your work or something." She says tiredly. "And please," she begs, "don't cause any trouble…"
We mumble our agreements and she leaves. This. Is. So. Easy.
"Hey, you guys." He motions for us to get closer, and we do, even Rose, shockingly enough.
"We're playing a game." He tells us.
"What?" Rose asks curiously, but also cautiously.
"Truth." He smirks.
"Well how will we know if- "
"I've got it covered Weasley."
He pulls out a box of what I believe is chocolates.
Rose's eyes widen.
"Are those- "
"Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes truth chocolates? Yeah…" He smirks.
"My uncle owns the damn shop and I can't even get those!" She sounds angry, if not jealous.
He just smirks and opens the box.
We each take one.
"Okay Creevey, you first. Hmm… Who do you like?"
"What? I- RobChambers." The words slide out of my mouth like drool.
He laughs. "I knew it!"
"Okay, Scorpius, its your turn now." I smirk.
"If you had a chance to play truth or dare again, would you do it?"
"Yeah, probably. If there was a good reason." He glances at Rose but she doesn't notice.
"Rose…" He starts. "Do you like… Luke Thomas?
She giggles softly. "No."
We're sitting in a circle on the floor now.
"Paige, why are you in detention?" Rose asks me.
Whoops! Didn't see that one coming…
"I… uh… IaskedifIcouldcometodetention."
"Why?" She looks at me like I'm crazy…
"BecauseI'mtryingtosetyoutwoup"
"You're WHAT?!" Oh Merlin's shiny underpants she's angry.
"Rose, do you fancy Scorpius?" I ask.
"What? I- yes." She blushes madly.
"Scorpius, do you fancy Rose?"
He sighs in defeat. "Yeah…" He says lazily, as if he knew it was coming.
I think we're moving into the "anger" stage. (That's right after "denial.")

"FOR THE LAST TIME I DO NOT FANCY ROSE WEASLEY!" Scorpius yells at me. I'm pretty sure everyone on the grounds can hear us.
"Yes you do." I smirk. This is funny. He never gets this upset.
"STOP THAT."
"Rose and Scorpius sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g."
"SHUT IT CREEVEY." I think I'm going to go bother Rose now. I giggle.
"Hey Rose." She is talking to one of her friends whose name I do not know.
"How goes it?" I ask her.
She just glares.
"So, I heard the funniest thing about Scorpius the other day." I start.
"IN THE NAME OF MERLIN ROSE WEASLEY I WILL HEX YOU INTO OBLIVION IF YOU DO NOT SHUT IT."
I like it when they yell. It draws attention to them.
"Wanna talk about it?" I ask her. I am joking, but she makes a face like she's really considering it. This surprises me, but I am glad.
"Yes, actually." She gets up and we settle by a tree close to the black lake and far away from everyone else.
"I'm angry." She tells me.
"I've noticed."
"I like him. A lot I like him." She tells me.
"So…?" I do not understand.
"So now he knows!" She raises her voice.
"You have to fix this." She tells me.
"Fix what? I don't see a problem…"
She glares at me.
"What?!" This is not a happy conversation.
"You made us admit to liking each other. Now I can't hate him. And he can't hate me. I like him. And he knows. And he likes me. And I know. You see the problem?"
I stare at her for a moment. "No…"
"UGH!" She rolls her eyes. "I am confused. Make us hate each other again. Make me not like him."
"No." I tell her, as simple as that. Why does she think I'm going to all this trouble?
"Yes!" She yells at me. UGH. I hate the anger phase!
"No. That ruins my whole plan."
She groans, slaps herself in the forehead with her palm and stands up. "If this doesn't work Paige…" She pauses. "I'm going to make you wish you were a muggle." She threatens.
I roll my eyes. "Yeah, yeah." But really, I am a little scared.
Ugh. According to my "Human Emotions" book by some muggle psychologist, next is the "bargaining" phase. That should be a little better…
A/N- Short one I know. But just posted a one-shot so look out for it, mmkay? It has some truly hardcore cute fluffiness that I know you all love. And finally…
R-e-v-i-e-w! Please review if it's no trouble (you)!
