Ch 6

... Why did Rose have to get into Ravenclaw? Scor asked himself sadly. He looked over at Al, who was eat and talking at the same time to the two boys that were beside and in front of him, and poked him.

"Hey what was that for?" Al asked surprised.

"Nothing I just wanted to ask you something." Scor replied.

"So what is it?" Al said, biting into a piece of chicken.

"I... I... oh never mind." Scor murmured chickened out.

"OK then," Al shrugged at turned back to Jordan and Justin, the twins. Scor sighed and turned to look at the Ravenclaw table. To his surprise, Rose wasn't eating. What was going on with her?

Scor wanted to jump out of his seat and go over to Rose and ask what was wrong. But of course he couldn't right? Well at least not now, when everybody is looking. He sighed again. He would have to wait until dinner is over. For the rest of dinner, he kept a sharp eye out for her.

Rose sighed. Was Scor mad at her or something? She suddenly felt sick to her stomach. After so many years being friends with him, did she have to go ruin it by going into Ravenclaw House? Bewilderment flowed around Rose, flooding her mind and body. She shook her head to try and clear out the nonsense, but it stayed, sticking to her like a hinky-punk. She stole another look at Scor. There he was staring back at her again. Rose smiled a little, but Scor still stared blankly back at her. Her smile faded as quickly as it had came. After dinner, Professor Longbottom stood up.

"Student, now that you have been fed and watered, it is time for all of you to get a good night sleep, to be ready for tomorrow." Everybody groaned. Professor Longbottom chuckled.

"Now, now, everything will be fine, trust me." Then he shooed every one out. Rose got up to follow the rest of the Ravenclaws. As she walked out the door, she felt a tug on her robes. She turned and found herself looking into the gray eyes of Scorpius.

"Hi?" Rose murmured uncertainly.

"I was just wondering if anything as wrong?" Scor mumbled, not looking back at her. Rose's heart dropped. So he wasn't worried about her, he was just being polite and had to ask what was wrong.

"No, no nothing is wrong, I just didn't feel like eating anything."

"Oh, OK then, I guess, I will be seeing you tomorrow then." Then he turned and disappeared. Rose stared after him with a fore lone expression on her face.

The next morning Rose woke with a growling stomach and a wonderful headache. With a huge sigh, she climbed out of bed and went to take a shower. As she got dressed, she reminded herself that today was the first day of class and she must not be late.

What a cliche... Rose thought to herself, maybe I should be late for once in my life. With another little sigh, she brushed her teeth and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

There she found Al and Scor sitting all by themselves at the Slytherin table. Rose had a huge urge to just go over there and sit by them, but she thought otherwise.

At that moment Al looked up to see Rose sitting at the Ravenclaw table all by herself too. He nudged Scor.

"Hey Scor, why don't we go and say good morning to Rose?" AL suggested.

"I don't know.." Scor started to say, but was hauled out of his seat and dragged over by Al.

"Hey there Rose, did you get a good night sleep?" a cheerful voice sounding out, startling Rose out of her daydream. She spun around and saw it was only Al and Scor.

"Oh hello there," she said through a yawn.

"I take that as a no," mused Scor. Al chuckled.

"Well, you should have, why didn't you?" he then asked. Rose shrugged, that topic suddenly became a little awkward with Scor just standing behind her.

"I guess I was too busy thinking about somethings." she whispered. She now felt a little sick. Maybe it was a good idea to skip breakfast too, like what she did with yesterday's dinner.

"I think I will skip breakfast." she announced and started to get up.

Al grabbed her arm an sat her back down. Then he said , "You can't go without eating breakfast since you didn't eat dinner yesterday, so why didn't you have dinner?"

Rose colored. So someone did notice her behavior, and that someone was not who she wanted to be noticed by.

"Why do you care?" she said hotly.

"Because, I'm your cousin, and I care about you." Al explained.

"Well, stop caring for I can take care of myself," Rose snapped, not wanting this conversation to go on anymore. Scor obviously saw that hint, and quickly changed the topic.

"So which class are you taking?" he asked, hoping to cool Rose down.

"I'm taking all the classes that you have," Rose said, feeling awkward again. Scor nodded, blushing a little. He too felt a little awkward for asking this stupid question.

"Yeah, I forgot sorry." Scor murmured. Rose had to smile at that.

"So am I forgiven then?" she asked out of the blue.

"Forgiven for what?" Scor asked.

"You weren't mad at me for getting into Ravenclaw?" Rose asked in shock.

"No, why should I be?" Scor asked in amazement.

"Well, I just thought, that you looked a little mad that I wasn't in the same house as you and Al." Rose squeaked, feeling stupid.

"Oh," was all Scor could say.

Al looked at his two friends, who were both now red in the face. He felt the awkwardness pass between the two of them. He coughed, and they looked at him in surprise.

"What?"

"Oh nothing, I just think we should go."

"Hummm, I think that is a good idea," Scor agreed quickly, getting up. Rose nodded too.

Yeah, you better go, you don't want the Slytherins thinking you are going against them, by being at the Ravenclaw table." With a swift nod, both of the boys turned and walked back to the Slytherin table.

Rose: Wow, I never thought I actually learn something, right in the morning, on the first day of school.

Me: Oh really, what did you learn?

Rose: Never to jump into conclusion before asking.

Me: *raise eyebrow* Ohh.

Rose: Yeah, by doing that, you can be embarrassed for a long time... I don't think I can face Scor at all for this week.

Me: Naw, I bet he's going to forget it by tomorrow.

Rose: Really?

Me: Well I hope.

Preview of next chapter:

Rose felt silly. She felt that she just wanted to claw into a little crack in the earth and disappear. Yes, she was that embarrassed.

Great, now I can't face Scor for a week. She thought to herself. With a sigh, she tried to redeem herself. Moments later, Hailey came skipping down the Great Hall. She came to a halt in front of Rose.

"Morning Rose!"

Here is the next one. Hopefully it wasn't too dry and too boring. Comment, please. Special thanks to lagentillefan and RoseJeanMalfoy for reviewing. Your revies where great. Thanks.
