Jordan is still 13 and poor oblivious Rosie is still 12
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________----
" I cant do it! " Rose said .Trying to turn and walk the other direction before Jordan grabbed her and continued to pull her along .
" You promised !"
" No _"
" Yes ! You said that if I studied and got an O on Longbottom's essay ,you would do something for me. "
" Yeah, but I meant like ........clean out your trunk or do your homework , I didn't think you would make me fly!"
" Rose you need to get over the fear..."
" No , no I don't because I wont ever have to fly . I'll use portkeys, floo , aparation , hell I'll even walk , anything but flying !"
" But your not listening to me , when your up there it's like the best feeling in the world , like you can do no wrong , complete freedom and peace."
" See that's what it's like for you. My feelings would come in five stages. One would be fear . Two would be anger at whoever made me get on a broom , in this case YOU , third I'd feel jealousy ,that that person wasn't up there hovering for their lives . Then there would be more fear . Then extreme nausea that would probably result in me passing out which would lead to my imminent death. "
" Just give it a try?"
She gulped as the entered the quidditch pitch and walked to the center of the field .
" Okay , you ready ?" Jordan asked handing her James's broom .
"No."
" Yes you are."
" No. No I'm not "
" Look at me , Yes _You _Are. "
For some reason she felt a little safer . The look he was giving her made her feel more secure , which was saying something because she was scared out of her mind .
" Alright, now just mount it and take off. "
She did what he said .........except for the taking off part .
" Ready ???NOW !!!!_ Okay NOW!!!" Jordan said trying to prompt her .
" Jordan I cant do it. "
" Yes you can ! I know you can ! Your Rose Weasley you can do anything!"
" Not this ."
He sighed " Alright , come here."
" What?"
" Get on. " he said ,gesturing for her to climb on the broom with him .
" No , no , no this is exactly how it happened last time! "
" Yeah well Rose we aren't ten and neither James nor Lawrence are here , I promise you limbs will remain intact, so get on! "
She didn't move but just stared at the broom .
" Rose you have to trust me , I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I swear."
" I know ___ I just _ okay!"
She reluctantly climbed onto the broom in front of Jordan. She felt pretty secure, he was keeping her from falling off the back and his arms were keeping her in place .
" Okay ready? "
" I guess. "
" Just , please don't scream in my ear okay?"
" I'll try."
She didn't scream , she just squeezed her eyes shut and held on as tight to the broom as she could. They kept going up , faster and faster , she felt Jordan's arms tighten around her as they came to a stop .
" See that wasn't so bad." Jordan said " Will you open your eyes?"
" Are we still in the air?"
" Yes."
" Then NO!"
" Rose I promise your okay , just open your eyes. "
She sighed and slowly opened her eyes, careful not to look directly down.
" Oh my god" she said . She had never seen Hogwarts like this. It was amazing the way the sky reflected off the lake ,and the flowers blended in with the tree line along the dark forest , and to think she had been at that school for nearly two years , and never had she ever thought it to be this beautiful .
" Told you " Jordan said smiling at her speechlessness " It's strange how you can know something so well ,for so long ,and then one day just start looking at it completely differently isn't it?" he tried to mask the nervous edge to his voice as he said this.
Rose nodded " Yeah ,I mean it's totally different from up here_ OH MY GOD!!!"
" What?"
" I LOOKED DOWN!"
" Okay? "
" NOW IM SCARED_ JUST GO BACK DOWN!!"
" What? Rose we're fine! "
"JORDAN PLEASE!!"
He sighed again and turned his broom steadily towards the ground . Again Rose closed her eyes and clenched her fists the whole ride until she felt her feet touch the ground where she sprung off the broom and beamed .
" Thank god !" she said .
" You were fine until you looked down. " Jordan said
" Yeah well _ thanks anyway ,that really was beautiful."
" I'm glad you liked it _ you ready to try it by yourself ?"
" NO !!ARE YOU CRAZY?"
" You don't have to go nearly as high as we did , just hover. "
" Jordan_"
"Please just once , just try it? "
Rose took a deep breath and walked towards James' broom that they had laid on the ground .
" Okay so just take a deep breath ,mount it, and kick_'
" Oh you've got to be kidding me!" Came a sly voice from behind them " Princess Weasley's gonna fly now?"
They turned around to Scorpius Malfoy leaning against the entrance to the locker rooms .
" Just ignore him." Jordan said
" She couldn't ignore me if she tried. " Scorpius said .
" Why cant you just get the hell out of here?" Rose yelled .
" Well ,I came down here to check the schedule to see who has the pitch tonight _"
" That would be us. " Jordan said now looking thoroughly annoyed .
" Yes well then you shouldn't be down here now should you ?"
" You know what Malfoy? It's really none of your business whether we're down here or not. " Rose said .
" Yes well now I've seen you down here so _ I'm rather interested to see you fall on your ass."
" Oh yeah Malfoy you'd know all about that wouldn't you ?" Jordan said "Not a game goes by that you don't come close to falling off your broom. havent really mastered the art of balance have we ? "
Scorpius glared at him as he continued
" You my friend have absolutely no right to harass anyone about their flying because most of us are still trying to figure out how the hell you got on the team , but then again Rhegan Zambini is an old family friend isn't he?"
" If your trying to get a rise out of me Wood it's not working. " Scorpius said .
" Not at all .I was just reminding you that nothing you say has any effect on Rose . In fact I'm starting to wonder why your even bothering _ hmmmm does someone have a bit of a crush on Ms. Weasley ?"
Rose ,who had been very appreciative of Jordan's presence for the last ten minutes, now turned to glared at him .
" Your probably right Wood , but my guess is that it's the idiot out here wasting valuable time trying to teach her to fly." Scorpius said.
Jordan blushed in spite of himself and rolled his eyes .
" But I doubt that even Weasley would stoop so low as to go out with a lunatic like you _"
" He's got a hell of a lot better chance then you do! " Rose said glaring at Scorpius .
" Now Weasley I'm sure you don't really feel like that."
" Oh but I do!"
" Fine." Scorpius said , with his trademark smirk ' I'll leave you two to it. "
Then he left , leaving Rose and Jordan in a very uncomfortable silence .
" Uh _ sorry about that" Rose said .
" No it's _ fine uh _ what do you say we head back ?"
Rose nodded , grabbed James' broom and followed him off the pitch.
They didn't talk much the rest of that day and it took a while to shake off all the awkward comments that had been made especially with Malfoy harassing them on a regular basis , but eventually they got things back to normal.
Sort of.
