Golden Fallen Heart

Chapter 10: Bad Kids

"I..." Rose closed her eyes in desperation and sighed. She opened her eyes to her reflection, she could see the despair in her own eyes. She took a deep breathe and tried again, "I... looaahh..." she felt like she was about to throw up. "Ugh..." she lowered her head. Okay, one last time she thought,

"I... lov..ee"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily burst into Rose's dormitory.

"Oi, there's a door, you knock on it!" Rose was a little ashamed to be caught in such situation.

"I see your temper hasn't passed, I guess Ly was wrong." Lily turned away to leave.

"Wait, Lily..." Rose called after her and made her turn away and face her.

"Lysander was right. I am sorry. I shouldn't have acted that way. Forgive me, eh?" she asked with a apologetic smile.

Lily was never the one to hold a grudge,

"Alright, you're forgiven." she smiled at her. They were family, they often hurt each other, they often quarreled but they always made up.

"Whew! I missed you." Rose was genuinely happy to have her back.

"Me too, Rosie!" Lily sat on Rose's bed.

"So, now would be a great time to tell me about how Lorcan asked you out." Rose encouraged Lily.

"Do you really want to hear?" she asked

"Yes, of course. I'm dying here!" she jumped onto the bed and settled next to Lily.

As two cousins were talking about everything-except Scorpius- minutes flew away.

"Rose," Lily started off casually "now that we are talking, what was that about?" she asked

"What?" Rose was confused.

"You know, you pushing Malfoy..." as words fell from Lily's mouth horror hit Rose, she hadn't planned a lie for this one. Lying wasn't her thing and she most certainly did not like lying to her closest. She always stuttered or blushed or exaggerated so much that even a monkey could tell if she was lying or not. The odds weren't in favor of her when she lied, except that time. She looked up to her wall and saw that Lily's class was about to begin.

"Merlin, Lil' you're gonna be late."

Lily frowned and threw a skeptical look to the clock.

"Merlin's beard! You're right. I need to go." she get up from the bed quickly and rush to the door. Before she left, she turned to face Rose with her one hand on the nob.

"We will talk about this, Missy. Don't ever think you've gotten out of it."

Rose rolled her eyes "Fine!" she threw her arms up in the air.

As Lily closed the door behind her, Rose sighed in relief and when she remembered that it was Tuesday a joy hit her, her heart started to beat faster, she felt butterflies in her stomach. Tuesdays were magical enough to make her wake up half an hour earlier, put on make up and even try to flatten her hair because she had her first period empty and so did Scorpius, while family and friends all had classes. So, they've been skipping breakfast and meeting at the disused girls bathroom. She skipped down to the common room with a whistle upon her lips. After their huge fight, things have been more exciting but they weren't in a great place, she could easily see Scorpius was afraid to loose her and she had no idea what she was doing, she always wanted to see him, it was like he was intoxicating. When she didn't see him, she felt like she had a burden on her shoulder, she felt obligated to say those three words back but whenever she saw him, her world would light up, everything would become somehow easier but still she couldn't even imagine herself saying 'I love you' to him. She did care for him, a lot, deeply, with her whole heart. He was the most important thing in her life. He was. Yet, those three words seemed so unreal to her. She left the common room, blind to every eye she met. She easily found her way to the girls bathroom, whistling and skipping. She opened the door carefully yet it didn't prevent it from creaking. She entered and closed the door. Scorpius was already there, smiling at her with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Hello, love." he walked to her and her face light up.

She placed a small kiss on his lips and he leaned in for more. She was breathless again. Damn Malfoy knows how to woo a girl, she thought. When they separated, she looked carefully in his eyes and realized how tired he looked.

"You look horrible, Scorp." she frowned with concern.

"You're awfully flattering today, dear." he smiled at her.

She sighed with a small smile on her lips,

"You know what I meant. You look tired. Have you even slept at all?" she asked.

"I couldn't and frankly, I can't say a wreck girls bathroom is the most comfortable place to be." he paused to look around with disgust "Can't we change our meeting place? I don't like it here."

"Alright, I'll think about it." she nodded and cupped his face.

Whole day, she didn't see Scorpius. They didn't have mutual classes that day and he was absent at the lunch, she figured he slept in his dorm. The day passed slowly and she couldn't came up with a new secret place to meet. This whole secret thing was thrilling but also tiring. She knew they didn't have an alternative, it had to stay a secret. She didn't care much what her cousins or friends thought but what she feared the most was her parents finding out.

She left the dinner early, she still hadn't talked with Albus or Hugo and Lily wanted to spend time with Lorcan, so she was walking to the common room on her own when she heard her name as a whisper. "Rose."

She turned and spotted Scorpius behind a wall. She rushed to him and whispered. "What are you doing?"

"I haven't seen you all day." he said and placed a quick kiss on her lips.

"Scorpius!" she whispered after kissing him back. "Are you mad? We can get caught!"

"Well, what if I don't care?" he asked.

"I care!" she pulled him in to a empty classroom to be able to speak louder.

As soon as they were alone, he embraced her and started to kiss her neck. He kissed away her anger and she started to giggled.

"Yes, I've missed you too, darling." she placed a kiss on his cheek "But we have to be careful!"

He just shrugged.

"Since we're together, we should talk about this new meeting place." she stated.

"Brilliant! You've found a place?" he looked excited.

She pouted "No, I was hoping we could brain storm."

"All right then. I don't want to stay there but it's the safest and warmest we've got." Scorpius shrugged.

"Talking about safe, have you put the charms on the door."

"Bloody..." he murmured under his breathe and Rose rolled her eyes.

"It's fine, I'll do it." she took out her wand and murmured a locking and a silencing charm on the door. "But, Scorp, we have to be careful, yeah?"

"Yes, I know but you're better at it anyways." he smiled at her.

"Anyways, back to our subject, we need a new place."

"Well, I'd say garden but it's getting cold."

"And library is out of question." she said in a matter of fact tone.

"I still don't get why." he shook his head.

"It's too risky. We'd get caught in a second." she said for the hundredth time.

Scorpius sighed. "A big fat no to my common room."

She nodded and opened the door to leave as she kept speaking "My common room would be just as risky and you wouldn't be able to enter my dormitory since..."

"It's written in History of Magic."when he finished her sentence she was already out of the room, she stoped and gazed him. She looked dazzled.

"Yeah, I've read it." he shrugged.

She smiled amazed by him. History of Magic wasn't a very popular book among guys, among anybody actually.

Before she know what she was saying, words flew out of her mouth,

"I love you."

It was more like a sigh but it was loud and clear enough for him to hear. She didn't think about it, it was the first time she felt it and she just said it. It was the first time she realized she was heads over heels for the brilliant wizard in front of her. At first he looked startled and then his lips form a smile but before he could speak another boy's voice did.

"Rose! MALFOY?" Hugo came into sight after his voice. Rose closed her eyes in horror, Scorpius was horrorstruck too.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?" he roared. Rose was obligated to face him. It wasn't Scorpius' fight, it was hers. She pressed her need to swear but Scorpius didn't "Bloody hell."

"SHUT UP!" Hugo turned to him and Scorpius replied just as quickly.

"Who the hell do you think you are little weasel?" he snarled and Rose interfered.

"Stop it, both of you!" she said as she looked at both of them.

"Hugo, why don't we talk alone?" she asked as softly as possible

"No, it's not going to be that easy, sister. How about a family meeting?" he asked very firmly.

After a few minutes, everyone blood related to Rose was in the classroom where she and Scorpius got caught. Hugo was still red, Lily had a disappointed look on her face, Albus looked mad, Louis was walking up and down in the classroom, Dominique was trying to calm down Hugo, Lucy looked disgusted and distant, Roxanne was judging her. Scorpius was thrown out of the classroom with mouthful of swears and Rose had to cry and yell from on the top of her lungs to make them stop.

Everyone in the classroom except Albus and Louis were younger then her, still she felt humiliated and obligated to find excuses.

"Explain." Albus said with a tone of voice she had never heard.

Rose rolled her eyes and Lily snorted sarcastically.

"You don't get to ditch us now." Lily was mad too.

"Explain yourself." Louis repeated Albus.

"Alright." Rose sighed.

She looked at all of them and suddenly she was grateful that there were absent faces. James, Fred 2 and Molly weren't their since they've graduated in previous years.

She took a deep breath, "I'm dating Scorpius Malfoy."

As soon as she finished her sentence, there was a huge snarling, she couldn't get what they were saying individually but she was sure non of them were appropriate, let alone approving.

"Hey, hey, HEY!" She had to yell again to make them stop. "Let me finish, eh?"

Roxanne crossed her arms, Albus rolled his eyes, Louis and Dominique snarled at the same time, Hugo was even redder and Lily shook her head with disapproval, Lucy kept the distant look on her face and didn't even flinch.

"I didn't plan this... It just... kind of happened." the words forced their ways out of her.

"Kind of?" Lily asked sarcastically.

"How exactly did that happen, if I may ask?" Hugo asked sounding just like their mother.

"Were you out of your mind?" Lucy followed Hugo.

"Yeah, the hatred you had for 6 years just suddenly turned into a crush, like poof?" Dominique asked. She was trying to calm down Hugo but apparently she had failed and Hugo succeeded to make her madder.

"I wish I knew." she mumbled under her breath but then a word bothered him, Dominique had used the word "crush" to define her feelings.

"It isn't simply a crush!" she said looking directly at Dominique.

"What, you fancy him?" Albus asked.

"No. I love him." she said. "We're in love."

The silence fell for a while, Lily's death glares seemed to soften.

"Oh, you're in love?" asked Roxanne.

"Yes." she showed the courage to smile softly.

"It's all okay then!" Roxanne finished sarcastically and everyone started to murmur again. This time Lily stopped them.

"You should have told us, told me." she said getting up from her seat.

"I'm sorry." she apologized to her. "I was afraid that you'll act … just the way you did, actually." she looked at all of them.

"How else we should have reacted?" Louis asked.

"Yeah, you know that he punched me once." Hugo looked at her. "He punched your own brother."

"And it's not just that, he and his grotesque gang bewitched my pen at an exam and it was horrible." Lucy crossed her legs and arms with anger.

"He mixed a potion to my pumpkin juice and I had pimples all over my face, it was humiliating." Dominique made a wry face remembering it.

"That's nothing." Roxanne started to talk "He almost killed me at a quidditch practice."

"You're all over reacting!" Rose exclaimed.

"Are we?" Albus asked "You know the rumor he started about me."

"It was disturbingly absurd." Lily couldn't help but agree.

"You all have done things to him too! Lily you slapped him once, Hugo you punched him too, Louis you're always trying to humiliate him." she continued "I've done this too and he has done things to me too but we're over it. We've moved on."

"Of course, you've moved on, you're snogging him!" Albus enflamed.

Rose was starting to get an head ache.

"Just stop it! I don't need your approval and I'm not the first one who had hid things." Rose was sick and tired of apologizing.

"Just don't tell my parents, that's all I'm asking." she shrugged.

"Oh, I don't think so sis. I believe, hiding this juicy little story from dad would be a crime." Hugo said and she left, she wasn't going to beg to her little brother in front of everyone. She had her own rights, they had to respect her choices, it was her life. It was her rights and wrongs and her only right was Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy who waited her this whole time a few feet away from the classroom. As soon as she spotted him, she put down her walls of protection, her knees started to feel weak. She barely ran to him and he covered her with his protective arms. A few tear drops fell from her cheeks as she comprehended that her whole family were turned on her, all she had was him.
