Chapter 9
Scorpius POV
"Dude wake up, you're going to be late to meet Rosie and trust me you don't want to keep her waiting" came the voice of my roommate and best friend Albus Potter. My eyes flickered open and immediately became adjusted to the moody lighting of our dorm room beneath the lake. I sighed and rolled out of bed. It was finally the 2nd of February and the day I'd been dreading all week, what if Evie didn't actually get jealous! My whole plan would fail and I would be stuck dating Rose Weasley!
I walked into the vacant bathroom and turned on the shower, waiting for the mirror to steam up slightly before pulling off my boxers and stepping in. I used my time in the shower to relax, it wouldn't be that bad with Rose, if it really was a shit date I could just tell her I had to meet someone. Everything would turn out just fine.
I got dressed in a pair of black jeans and a tight dark green top that showed off my muscular arms. I brushed my teeth and messed my hair up so it fell in just the right way. I finished it off with a quick spray of some muggle aftershave Al had got me for Christmas.
Picking up my warm v-neck black jumper I was just about to walk out with Albus stopped me. I looked at him confused.
"Yeah this is a bit weird seeing as you're my best mate, but you better not hurt Rosie. If you do you will have not just me but the entire male side of my family to worry about" he told me running his hand through his hair. I laughed at his attempt at the proctective family member speech.
"Relax Al, everything is going to go fine" I told him, more to reassure myself than anything.
He nodded once and I took that as my cue to leave. I slipped the jumper over my head and checked my hair in the mirror quickly before slipping out the door and along the corridor to the common room.
"Oh I see you're going through with your date with that Weasley, you seem to be becoming less of a Slytherin everyday" drawled Devlin Zabini from where he lounged on one of the leather sofas. I turned and scowled at him.
"Fuck off Zabini, what I do is my business. Unless you want me to break the rest of your ribs" I growled at him. He smirked at me almost asking to be hit but I took a deep breath and turned around choosing to ignore him.
I strolled down the familiar dingy corridors of the dungeons and made my way to the surface. Rose said she would meet me by the entrance so I turned left and took the stairs I knew would emerge near there. I reached the top step and there sure enough was Rose stood talking with two other girls. She looked up and saw me; I plastered a fake smile on to my face as I neared. The other girls turned around and my fake smile changed into a genuine smirk when I realized the other girls were Dominique and Evie. Perfect.
I reached the 3 cousins and straight away engulfed Rose in a hug.
"Rosie, good to see you!" i exclaimed trying to sound as excited as possible. I looked up to see Evie already looking mad. "Are you ready to go?" I asked once she had finally pulled away from my embrace. She looked at the other two who nodded before looking back at me.
"Yeah, do you mind if these two walk down there with us?" she asked hesitantly.
"No it's absolutely fine" I told all three of them making sure to smirk at Evie. She rolled her eyes as walked ahead, Dom followed and soon fell into stride with her.
As we walked out the door and off the school premises I could hardly get a word in edgeways. Rose seemed to talk about everything. Evie turned around to ask Rose something so I quickly grabbed Rose's hand and pulled her closer to me.
"What was that Evie?" Rose asked her cousin.
"Oh never mind" she mumbled quickly hiding her look of disgust and turning back around.
We soon reached Hogsmead and Evie quickly disappeared into a shop without even saying goodbye. I swore under my breath, I needed her to be with us otherwise I couldn't watch and see her reactions.
"I don't really come down here that often, where do you usually hang out?" I asked her hoping wherever that was Evie would be there too.
"We usually shop for a bit before grabbing a drink in the three broomsticks" she answered gripping my hand a bit too hard for my liking.
"Let's go there then". I dragged her in the direction of the large building with the sign saying 'the three broomsticks'. The warm air hit me as I pulled open the heavy door and stepped inside immediately making my way for a booth with a clear view of the door. Rose had only just sat down and was removing one of her many layers when I jumped up again.
"I'll get us some drinks" I told her before walking up to the bar and ordering two butter beers. The bartender set two pint glasses in front of my and with a flick of his wand they filled to the top with a frothy amber liquid. I paid the man and easily walked back to the table with a glass in each hand.
Two butter beers later I heard the door squeak and looked up to see Evie and Dominique appear. Quickly I turned my attention back to Rose. She was in the middle of telling me about this potion that whenever she brewed it would just blow up in her face. I continued to nod and say something when necessary but kept looking up every minute at Evie who had sat down at a table on the over side of the pub.
Another 10 minutes passed and Rose was now telling me about her studying schedule. It was getting to the point when I spent more time staring across the pub at Evie than I spent listening to Rose.
"Scorpius?" a voice snapped me out of my trance and my eyes came back into focus on the girl sitting in front of me.
"yeah, no, wait - sorry what did you say Evie?" I muttered my eyes once again trailing to look over Rose's shoulder.
"What did you just call me?" Rose's shrill voice bought me back.
"Rose! Shit sorry, your cousin walked in and all I could think about was how much I hate her! Merlin that girl annoys me! Come on; let's get out of here before she ruins this more than she already has!" I covered up quickly. It seemed to work as Rose nodded understandable before picking up her coat.
"You know, if we are going to date you should really learn to get along with Evie. If you got to know her properly you would love her!" Rose told me enthusiastically as we left the warmth of the pub. I laughed.
"Yeah I just might" I whispered.
After a long boring walk back up to the castle I had finally got rid of Rose. I had to give her a quick kiss to make her leave when I said goodbye outside the Gryffindor common room though. Luckily Evie chose that moment to appear. She didn't actually say anything but the look on her face said it all. She was well and truly jealous!
Feeling happy that my plan had worked I took off back through the castle heading for my dorm. Back in my dorm room I walked in to find Albus sat on the floor with his brother James. They had a big sheet of parchment between them and were scribbling stuff down.
"How was your date?" Al asked as entered.
"Tiring, your cousin sure can talk" I joked.
"Yeah you will get used to it mate" said James without looking up.
"What are you doing?" I questioned stepping over both of them and collapsing onto my bed. They both looked up and smiled slyly. I laughed.
"Seriously, what are you guys planning? Another prank?" I asked laughing.
"Nahh, we are planning a surprise birthday party" James exclaimed screwing up the parchment in front of him and summoning some more.
"Oh whose birthday is it?" I asked not knowing every detail of the Weasley/Potter schedule "and am I invited?"
"Yeah you can come as long as you promise not to fight with the birthday girl" Albus said turning towards me.
I smirked "oohh so it's Evie's birthday"
"Yes, you better not ruin it!" James shouted at me from his space on the floor. I laughed before drawing the curtains around my bed.
Evelyn POV
We were all spread across the furniture after a long day. Rose, Dominique, Roxy, Lily and I were sat in a circle around the fire. My sister was listening intently to Rose's story about her date with Malfoy today. It was alright for Lily, this was the first time she had heard the story but this was third time I was hearing it. I heard it the first time when Rose had followed me through the portrait hole and up to our dorm refusing to stop telling me about it even when I was in the bathroom. I then heard it the second time when Dom and Roxy sat with us by the fire and Rose insisted on repeating it for them. She was now filling in Lily on everything she missed much to the enjoyment of me (sarcasm!).
"And then he walked me all the way back here and guess what he did Lils?" Rose almost screamed at her despite being sat opposite her. Lily opened her mouth to answer but if cut in.
"In the name of me Merlin we already know! He kissed you!" I exclaimed only to be met with one angry red face and three amused looking ones.
"Why didn't you let me tell her? You've been cranky all evening, what's got your knickers in such a twist" Rose shouted at me reminding me so much of her mother.
"Well it might be the fact that you won't stop going on about that blonde twat like he's some sort of God" I shouted back increasingly aware that everyone had turned around to look at us.
"No Evelyn it's the fact that you can't deal with someone else having the attention! That's why you fight with Scorpius so much, it's so everyone looks at you and takes notice of you! She screamed at me, her face slowly turning the colour of her hair.
"Yeah alright I just want everything to be about me" i spat sarcastically "it's not about me trying to help you before you turn into one of Malfoy's little bitches!"
"Trust me Evelyn, if anyone is in danger of becoming a bitch, it's you!" she snapped before standing up and walking out the portrait hole. I looked around, everyone was staring at me.
"Great, fucking great!" I shouted before I too stormed off.
Scorpius POV
It was Saturday the 9th of February; a week had passed since Rose had appeared in my common room crying about how much of a bitch Evelyn is. I guided her away from the rest of the slytherins and up into my dorm room where Albus and I tried to comfort her. Al did a pretty good job but all I could think about was how hot Evie must of looked during their fight and how Rose's tears were going to stain my new top.
At the beginning of the week it was all anyone could talk about but as the days passed the whispers stopped. Albus had spent all week with his brother and the rest of the Weasley's planning a party for Evie. And now I was on my way to the Room of Requirement to join in with the last minute preparations for later tonight.
I reached the wall that held the entrance and paced three times in front of it. A door appeared slightly to my left. I smiled before pushing it open and walking inside. The inside was set up well, there was a long table filled with drinks and food, a couple of couches on the other side of the room and a large space in the middle for dancing. There were banners and balloons everywhere charmed to flash 'Happy 16th Evie' over and over again.
I didn't have time to look much more because I was barrelled into by Rose.
"Scorpy!" she exclaimed hugging me hard around the waist. I grimaced but quickly changed to a smile when the others looked up from what they were doing.
"Hey mate, you're a bit late, we just finished" Albus hollered to me from the other end of the room. I smiled and nodded, giving in to Rose who dragged me over to sit with the others on the couches. James stood up and coughed to get everyone's attention.
"Right does everyone know the plan?" he asked and everyone apart from me nodded "well I'm going to go over it one more time. Dom and Roxy, you are in charge of getting Evie here on time. We will all hide in the dark so when you guys come in we can jump and scream 'Happy birthday'. Then we party!"
Everyone cheered before separating off into their own conversations. Albus looked over at me.
"I meant it though Scorp, don't ruin this night" he warned me and Rose snuggled even closer.
"Don't worry Al, Scorpius promised me that he's going to try and get to know Evie better" she said smiling up at me. I smirked and nodded. I did want to get to know Evie better but in a different way to what they were thinking!
Evelyn POV
"Happy Birthday!" screamed Dom and Roxy as they through open the dorm room door and piled onto my bed. I laughed and hugged them back.
"Where have you guys been this last hour? I thought you were going to leave me alone on my birthday evening" I spoke with Dom's golden hair in my mouth.
"Oh we wouldn't do that, we were just off finding the others and telling them to pop round soon and drop off your presents" Roxy answered as they both sat up and sorted out their hair.
"Speaking of..." started Dom before running over to her own bed and pulling out a package. Roxy did the same before they both came back and thrust them at me.
"Aww guys thank you!" I told them before picking up Roxy's present and opening it. Beneath the stripy red paper was a box. I pulled off the top and inside was the most beautiful dress.
"Merlin Rox, this is lovely" I exclaimed pulling it out and holding it up against me. It was a deep shade of green, just the right shade to make my eyes pop.
"Try it on" said Dom pushing me up off the bed and shoving the dress into my hand. I nodded and quickly pulled off my jumper and sweats replacing them with the dress. It was strapless and tight fitting, reaching halfway down my thighs. It fit perfectly hugging every curve in the right place and contrasting with my hair in exactly the right way. I admired it in the mirror for a while before reaching down to pull it off.
"Wait" Dom spoke making me stop and look at her. She smiled "Open my one first"
I nodded and took the box off her. Inside was a pair of small heels. They were black with peep toes and a small green bow above the peep. The bow was the same shade green as the dress, I laughed of course Dom and Roxy had co-ordinated gifts.
"Thank you Dom" I squealed pulling her into a hug before pulling the shoes on and admiring them in the mirror. They matched the dress perfectly!
Roxanne POV
Whilst Evie admired her new gifts in the mirror I glanced at Dom. She nodded so I raised my wand I initiated plan 'get Evie to the party without her realizing'.
"Petrificus Totalus!" I shouted making Evie freeze completely in front of the mirror. I turned towards Dom again "this is really weird".
"I know but it's the only way we can get her and us ready for the party without her realizing there is a party" she replied jumping up and pulling out her humungous make-up bag. We quickly started work on Evie, applying just the right amount of make-up and straightening her wavy hair so it grew even longer than it usually was.
Once she was done we left her frozen in the same position whilst Dom and I put on our dresses and make-up. My dress was like Evie's but deep purple and less fitted. It looked good with my darker skin and hair. Dom wore a tight black skirt with a light blue blouse tucked in. It looked beautiful with her blonde hair and blue eyes. Once we were completely done we both withdrew our wands. Evie stayed frozen but flew into the air and stayed hovering a couple meters above the floor. Keeping our wands trained on her we walked down stairs and walked through the common room with our cousin floating behind us.
The first and second years sat by the fire playing chess gave us the funniest looks as we strolled/flew past but we just smiled innocently and stepped through the portrait hole. We managed to make it all the way to the room without being caught or dropping Evie. Dom paced 3 times whilst in reset Evie on the ground and unfroze her. The door opened and before Evie had a chance to realize where she was we all walked in and the party began.
Evelyn POV
"Happy Birthday!" was screamed at me for the second time that evening but this time is came from my whole family plus friends and I was not in my dorm room anymore. I was totally confused! The last thing I remember was standing in front of the mirror in my new dress and shoes, now I was in the room of requirement with everyone shouting at me. I looked around and saw all the balloons and banners with my name on it. That's when I realized this must be a surprise party for me and my cousins had managed to get me ready and here without me knowing.
"You sneaky bastards!" I shouted at my two cousins over the boom of the music. They both laughed and pulled me into a hug.
"You are welcome, now go party birthday girl!" Roxy shouted back. I smiled before leaving them to go mingle. This party was amazing; there was loud music, yummy food and most of all Alcoholic drinks! How did I not know about this? The music was on full blast and everyone was dancing. It was mostly Gryffindor but I spotted the Scamander twins, Louis, Molly and Lucy as well as some other Ravenclaws I was quite friendly with and of course Albus. I groaned behind Albus stood the only other Slytherin, Malfoy with none other than Rosie clinging to him like some sort of growth. I took a deep breath and walked over.
"Alby, thank you so much!"! I cried wrapping my arms around him. He laughed and hugged me back. I pulled away and looked up and the other two "Rose, Malfoy" I nodded before walking off to talk to Fred. I was mid conversation with him when I spotted Malfoy and Rose again. They were dancing just behind Fred and I couldn't help but watch them. As much as I detest him Malfoy did look good, he was wearing tight black trouser with a black shirt to match. Hanging loosely around his neck was a green tie the exact same colour as my dress. His blonde hair was messed up so much I thought he might have been taking tips from James and Alby and his grey eyes shone in the flashing lights.
He looked up and smirked at me. That snapped me out of my trance and I grimaced slightly before delving back into a conversation with Fred about quidditch.
Scorpius POV
We heard the door open and we all jumped up from the floor shouting Happy Birthday. The look on Evie's face was priceless, she looked scared shitless but she did look amazing. Her hair was long and straight, the slight heels on her feet made her toned legs look even longer. That dress was so sexy! It was tight in all the right places and just looking at it made me groan in appreciation. Unfortunately I couldn't stare at her all night because soon enough my 'date' was dragging me with her to talk to some boring Ravenclaw.
Once Rose had finished talking to her boring study buddies she dragged me once more but this time onto the dance floor. I had no choice but to let her take the lead and dance. The last chord was struck and finally the song finished. I stopped dancing and stood there pretending to catch my breath. Looking to my right I noticed a certain Birthday girl staring at me. She was smirking slightly and I swear I could see the same appreciation in her eyes that could be seen in mine when she walked in. I smirked back at her but she quickly looked away and carried on talking to who I think was Fred.
The night dragged on as much as Rose dragged me around but finally it was winding down. People were getting tired and leaving. I watched Molly and Lucy Weasley leave along with their Raveclaw mates. Hugo and Louis had all left since they were younger than the others and all that was left from their family was Evie, Lily, Rose, James, Al, Dom and Roxy. There was also a group of Gryffindors I recognised from a few lessons and the Scamander twins. We were all pretty pissed and had gathered in a circle on the couches.
"Spin the bottle time!" shouted James grabbing an empty fire whiskey bottle and placing it in the middle. I did point out that a lot of them were related so this was a bit weird but they were too drunk to realize.
The bottle spun a few times, the people it landed on kissed whilst all of us watched and shouted rude and suggestive comments at them. After Albus had to kiss a Gryffindor girl called Jessica he sat up and spun the bottle once more. It landed on Dominique, people cheered and whistled. He spun again and it landed on me, Rose tightened her grip around my waist and both Potter boys glared at me. I shrugged before leaning in, Dom did the same and we met in the middle. Her lips were soft and she smelled slightly like Evie. I felt her hand bury itself in my hair so I put my hand on the small of her back and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss. She smelt so much like Evie!
"Malfoy!" someone shouted making me pull away from Dom and look up. Now standing up was a very angry Evie "what the actual fuck Malfoy you come here with one of my cousins and then end up snogging another of my cousins!" I stood up to face her properly.
"Chill out Potter it's a game"! I said whilst smirking
"Yeah come on Evie, it doesn't mean anything. Sit down and enjoy it" Albus joined in before things could get out of hand.
Dom spun the bottle once more. It landed on Oscar Wood the guy in the year below that has serious keeper skills. Again people whistled and jeered. The bottle was spun again and it landed on Evie. This time my grip tightened. Rose looked up at me questionably but I just shrugged and went back to watching.
It was safe to say Evie was very drunk! She got up and wobbled over to where Oscar was sitting; she then straddled him and kissed him hard. His hand had a tight grip on her arse and the kiss seemed to be going on much longer than most. All I wanted to do was to get up and pull her away from him but I knew that would not be a good idea. Finally they stopped and I breathed a sigh of relief. On the way back to her seat Evie looked at me and smirked, the type of smirk that told me she knew exactly what I was doing with Rose and Dom and that she knew that two could play at that game.
A few more couples kissed but none of those included Evie. Albus sat up and span it landed on me again. Everyone held their breath waiting to see who I'd be kissing this time. The bottle slowed and came to a stop I looked up at who it was and saw Evie. I swear she had a small smile on her face before she replaced it with a look of disgust.
"There's no way I am kissing him!" she shouted standing up and stamping her feet.
"Yeah I don't exactly want to kiss her either" I exclaimed pecking Rose on the cheek but still keeping an eye on Evie. She scowled slightly as I did.
"Come on you guys, Scorpius you even said it, it's just a game so hurry up and do It." spoke James. Evie and I both grimaced, mine was fake and I reckon hers was too.
"Fine" she spat. She walked over and sat next to me on the sofa. Grimacing quickly once more she shut her eyes and leant in. everyone was silent as I did the same. My lips touched hers, lightly at first but then again with more force. I moved my hands to her waist and pulled her closer, she moaned slightly. There was a low growling noise in my throat that I had never heard before and her hands on the back of my neck and in my hair felt so good.
Some coughed awkwardly. We both pulled apart quickly and I looked around to see everyone staring at us looking shocked and confused.
"Right next spin!" James spoke breaking the silence. Everyone nodded and agreed before returning to normal leaving. Evie got up, crossing the circle to sit next to Al and Rose walked off from me in a huff to sit with Roxanne.
Evelyn POV
The bottle slowed and came to a stop in front of me. I couldn't help it but I started to smile slightly but stopped it quickly before anyone noticed confused at my own reaction i put on the familiar grimace and stood up.
"There's no way I'm kissing him!" I shouted, stamping my foot for effect.
"Yeah I don't exactly want to kiss her either" Malfoy agreed before kissing Rose on the cheek. I scowled, what a twat for using Rose like that!
"Come on you guys, Scorpius you even said it, it's just a game so hurry up and do it" spoke James. I made myself grimace because for once it didn't come naturally.
"Fine" I spat before walking over and sitting next to the blonde on the sofa. I made myself grimace once more for effect before shutting my eyes and leaning in. there was no sound. Lightly his lips touched mine, I was about to pull away when our lips touched again, this time harder. His hands moved to my waist and mine to his neck. A strange growling noise was coming from his throat and I moaned quietly. Why did this feel so good? I hate this boy!
There was a cough making me pull away quickly. I couldn't look around; I kept my eyes trained on the floor during the awkward silence that followed.
"Right next spin!" James spoke breaking the silence. I heard everyone agree and soon the atmosphere was back to normal. I got up and went to sit with Albus; once I sat down I saw an angry looking Rose get up as well.
The bottle was spun again and it landed Roxy and Oscar. Everyone watched as they kissed but i probably spent more time stealing glances at Malfoy. It seemed he was having the same problem since nearly everytime i looked over so would he. His grey eyes would catch mine and he would smirk. That smirk was starting to look sexy but I'm sure it was just the alcohol making me feel that way. I looked over at him again to find he was already watching me, his eyes ran up and down my body his sexy smirk not moving from those amazing lips.
The game carried on and it was nearing 2 o'clock. People were becoming bored, restless and tired as the alcohol started to wear off.
"right folks, last spin before we go to bed!" Fred announced to a chorus of boos and shouts. He reached out and spun the bottle. It spun in perfect circles before stopping on Malfoy. That devilish smirk once more appeared on his face as if he knew what thought had just popped into my head, 'I hope it's me'. Fred reached out for the last time and spun, after many rotations it started to slow but went straight passed me and landed on Lily.
"Fuck" I whispered under my breath. Malfoy smirked at me and leant in to meet Lily's pouted lips. Watching them was making me angry, Lily's hands crept up to sit where mine had sat during our kiss and Malfoy's hands slipped down to cup her arse. That pushed me over the edge. I quickly jumped up and stormed out the room making everyone jump.
Scorpius POV
I pulled away from Lily and everyone was once again looking shocked and bewildered. I looked over my shoulder just in time to see Evie leave the room and slam the door. Al and James both sighed whilst Lily looked worried.
"Right guys it's been a great night but let's go to bed now!" Dom told everyone who one by one got up and followed her as she walked out the door.
"I'll got get Evie" muttered Albus as he got up from his cross-legged position on the floor. I heard what he said and jumped up from the couch.
"Nahh don't worry mate, I caused this so ill fix it. Don't worry I'll be nice" I told him when he looked worried. He eventually nodded his consent and pulled his map out of his back pocket to give to me. I quickly walked out the door whilst trying to trace Evie on the map. I spotted 'Evelyn Potter' and her two little black footprints on the next corridor in a little alcove. Folding the map back up and putting it in my pocket I set off in that direction.
I soon came across her, hidden from view with her knees tucked up to her chest.
"Evie?" I spoke gently. She looked up and groaned
"Seriously Malfoy fuck off, I'm not in the mood anymore!" she moaned putting her head against her knees. I didn't say anything, just leant against the wall in front of her.
"Why are you dating my cousin!" she shouted at me suddenly. Shocked at her sudden outburst I stood up straighter and shrugged
"Because I like her, why else would I" I answered faking innocent. You could she her anger was growing.
"You are fucking using her Malfoy and we both know it. You don't really care about her why else would you kiss me and Lily like that with Rose watching" she shouted standing up and stepping forwards.
"Calm down, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?" I shouted back pushing off the wall and stepping closer as well. I was right in front of her now; she had to strain her neck to look at me properly.
"Because your mine!" she declared angrily now close enough to see my Adams apple bob move as I swallowed hastily.
"I'm yours?" I questioned.
"No! I didn't mean that, I just meant, I mean...I don't know what I meant." She stammered obviously confused and shocked to why she had just said that. I looked straight down into her eyes before speaking again.
"Just say it and I'm yours."
So what did you think? Review please and PM me with any suggestions or questions...
Oh and let me know if you thought I changed POV too much. It might be a bit confusing i was just trying to get both points across...
Thank you, Maddie xo
