Hola mi amigos! Haha. Another chapter! :) Thanks for all the reviews, and subscribers. Please continue to give me your thoughts and ideas. Love you all! Enjoy.
Rose felt a sense of dread as she approached the stairways. She had only been in Professor McGonagall's office a few times. Rose gave the gargoyles the password and headed up the staircase. Why was she being called to her office? Rose never broke the rules so it wasn't like- the Quidditch pitch. She had broken curfew when she met Malfoy on the Quidditch Pitch for their competition. Had they been caught? Her heart started to beat faster as she knocked on the door.
"Come in," McGonagall stated and Rose opened the door. "Miss Weasley, have a seat."
Rose sat in the chair McGonagall motioned to, only to notice that Scorpius was in the seat beside her. This was it; they must have been caught. Rose just hoped that she wouldn't have her Head badge taken away. She had worked so hard to earn it, and because of her excessive pride it would be taken away.
"I assume you both know why you're here," she started. Scorpius and Rose looked at each other and they nodded. "I have the possible weekends for Hogsmeade, and I want you to pick four. Please give me your final choices in three days time. You are dismissed."
Both sat there for a moment in silence. They both looked shocked as they exited the room. They were sure that they were going to get in trouble, yet they didn't.
"Am I the only one that thought we were getting detention for being out after curfew?" Rose whispered to Scorpius.
"No I did too," he replied.
For once, they were having a civilized conversation. There was no arguing, just talking.
"At least we weren't caught," Rose muttered.
"I told you I never get caught."
"Shut up you prat," she exclaimed. Both of them laughed at this.
Rose sat at the Black Lake, trying to read her newest book from the library. Suddenly, Alice and Albus came up behind her. They seemed to be laughing about something Rose didn't catch.
"Hey Rose, can we join you?" Alice asked.
"Sure guys. What's up?"
"Oh nothing. We just got back from Divination where Trelawney predicted my death by a Grim in the next month," Al replied.
"Great, I always knew she was a nut," Rose muttered.
"For once, I agree with you Weasley."
Rose was so scared she almost fell into the lake. Malfoy had snuck up on her, and she didn't even know he was here. Did he have to follow her everywhere?
"God, Malfoy you scared me. Try not to sneak up on me!"
"That's my job," Scorpius retorted.
"Aww, that's so sweet. Malfoy cares about me," she exclaimed sarcastically.
"Shut up Weasley."
"Whatever Malfoy. You know you're just a-"
"Like you should talk Weasley. You're a-"
"Nice comeback. A b-"
"Really, you're so d-"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT IT!" Albus screamed.
They stopped fighting for Albus' sake. It seemed like he was at his wit's end. Rose grabbed her hair and pulled it into a loose bun. Scorpius couldn't help but stare at her. She was back to reading her book, fascinated as ever. Her chocolate brown eyes lit up as she skimmed the pages. Scorpius looked into her eyes, even though she was paying no attention to him. Albus and Alice were staring at Scorpius wondering why he was looking at Rose that way. Even Scorpius didn't know why he was looking at Rose. He just was.
After a few more minutes, Albus coughed. Scorpius immediately got out of his trance and he got to reading himself. He couldn't be caught staring at Rose- not that he was staring at Rose or anything. Al and Alice were conversing over their Divination essay, and they didn't notice that now Rose was looking at Scorpius. His blonde hair framed his pale face. His gray eyes were like big saucers, bearing the weight of the world. Rose noticed his toned muscles, peeking through his white button up shirt. He did look pretty hot- not that she found him hot or anything. She hated him; he was Malfoy.
"Uh, Malfoy, why don't we pick those Hogsmeade weekends," she suggested.
"Yeah, sure," he replied calmly. He set down his book and turned around to face Rose.
"McGonagall gave us many weekends to pick from, and we can choose four. I think we should have one the third weekend of November, and the first weekend after we get back from Christmas break," Rose stated.
"Okay, that sounds good," he replied.
Albus, Alice, and Rose looked shocked. Scorpius just agreed with Rose, and there was no argument. This had never happened before. Rose's mouth hung open in surprise. She had prepared to put up a fight.
"Oh ok-kay," she said shakily. "Do you have any ideas?"
"Maybe one two weeks before N.E.W.T.s and O.W.L.s? You know everyone is going to be stressed, and they'll need a break,"
"Well that's just- okay. I guess that'll work," she exclaimed. She was going to retort with something clever, but even Rose didn't want to ruin the mood. "We just need one more."
"What about the first weekend of March? Just to stick one in the middle when everyone wants to kill themselves from all the school work they have," he suggested.
"Yes! You're brilliant!" she exclaimed.
Suddenly, her face got very red. Had she just called Malfoy brilliant? He wasn't brilliant. He was a prat. Snap out of it Rose!
It was soon getting dark, and the four headed back into the castle. Rose muttered some excuse about returning her book to the common room before heading down to the Great Hall for dinner. Alice knew that Albus wanted to talk to Scorpius, so she went to the bathroom to leave them alone.
"Okay Scorp, what's up?" Albus asked, stopping him before he could go into the Great Hall.
"What're you talking about Al?"
"You couldn't keep your eyes off of Rose today at the Lake, and then you agreed with her. What's going on?"
"Nothing Al. And I wasn't looking at Weasley. If anything, I was wondering how it was possible that someone could be so hideous. Anyone with eyes could see that we hate each other. I agreed with her because I didn't want to talk to her. So, I realized that if I agreed with her, I wouldn't have to see her ugly face for as long. I think you're going crazy Al," he said, patting his best friend on the back. "C'mon let's get some food."
Albus bought Scorpius' story and he headed into the Great Hall to grab some food. Scorpius was right; they did hate each other. What was he thinking?
Scorpius knew that was a close call. Was he really staring at Weasley the whole time? He needed to forget about Rose, and fast. Just because he was looking at her doesn't mean that he liked her. That meant nothing.
Rose sighed as she dropped her book on her bed. That was close. She realized that she was staring at Scorpius when they were outside by the Lake. Thankfully no one was watching her. But she had called him brilliant. That was so unlike her. She had just said that in the heat of the moment; I mean, who would have ever thought that he would have agreed with her? That had thrown her off, so she complimented him. It wouldn't happen again. Obviously she didn't like Scorpius, he was still a prat. And nothing would ever change.
Hope you liked it. :) PLEASE REVIEW! I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!
