Chapter Ten:

I entered Runes feeling sick to my stomach. I had barely ate lunch. I was so jumbled up with feelings.

"Rose. Rose?" Someone calling my name snapped me out of thought.

I looked up Elliot was leaning on my desk. "Oh hi." I said opening my textbook.

"Hi Rosie." Elliot said brushing his hair out of his face. "Are you ok?"
"Yep." I said, bending over and digging my quill out of my bag.
"Do you have Quidditch practice after class?" Elliot said.

SHOOT! I did, and I had to go see Scorpius, well if I was. I sat up. "Yep."
"I might come watch you play." Elliot said.

"It's only practice," I said, "And Elliot please come, and if you do and I'm not there please tell James I went to the infirmary."
Elliot looked at me like I was crazy, "Ok, why are you not feeling well?"
"Sort of." I said casting a backwards glace at Scorpius.
"Ok then." Elliot said, then he walked to his desk.
I sighed.

When Runes started I could not focus, I felt like my brain had turned to mush.

"Class dismissed." The teacher said. I stood up my legs wobbled, I gripped the desk.

I walked, out of the room and stared at the floor. Which way to go?
Suddenly my feet stared moving and before I could stop them, I was running up the flights of stairs, towards the Room of Requirement.
I slowly pushed the door open, and I poked my head in, Scorpius had his back to me, his hand shoved into his pockets.

"Step in Rose." He said.
I stepped forward, Scorpius turned around. I shut the door.

"Hello." Scorpius said.

I stared at him, and he stared back both of us were waiting for the other to move.

Scorpius opened his mouth, "Rose, I'm sorry."
I stepped forward. "I'm sorry too." I said.

"I'm sorry more, I shouldn't of yelled at you." He stepped towards me.

"I more sorry then you are, I feel terrible, I believed that letter." I stepped to him.

We were standing inches apart, our tips of our toes were touching.

He reached out for my hand, I placed my hand into his.

"Sorry." He whispered, leaning towards me.

"I forgive you." I said leaning closer.

"As I forgive you." Scorpius whispered. Then our lips met, Scorpius wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled.

"Love me?" Scorpius asked.

"Yes. Do you love me?" I asked.

"Yep more then you know." Scorpius smiled. I leaned on his shoulder.

Suddenly I remember, "SHOOT! I need to get to Quidditch practice!" I cried.

I ran out of the Room of Requirement.

I ran out to the Quidditch field and ran to change. I grabbed my broom and ran out on the field.

"Rose your late!" James cried.

"I-I know, it's just..." I glanced up at the stands, Scorpius was smiling at me, I guess he followed me here, "I was meeting my boyfriend, Scorpius Malfoy."
"Ok, ok just- wait WHO? Scorpius?" James asked.

"Yep."
"WHAT THE?" Albus screamed landing beside James.

"Scorpius get down here!" I waved to him.

Scorpius stood up and raced down.

"Your dating that thing?" James asked.
"He isn't a thing." I said. I took Scorpius' hand.

James glared. "YOU OFF THE TEAM! For dating a Malfoy."
"WHAT?" I screamed at the same time Scorpius yelled, "UNFAIR!"

"What's going on?" Lily asked landing.

"Did I tell you to stop your drill?" James replied.

"No, but I'm your sister and I have the RIGHT to know." Lily cried.

"Rose is dating Scorpius!" Albus screamed.

"I knew it!" Lily cheered.
"Now she is off the team!" James yelled.

"FOR WHAT? Being in love, James just because you repel girls doesn't mean you have to kick Rose off for having a boyfriend." Lily said crossing her arms.
"Yeah that is so unfair." Hailey said landing beside me.
"If you kick Rose off the team, I am off too." Lily said.

"Me too." Hailey said.
"I'll just replace you." James said crossing his arms.

"What's going on here?" Hank asked landing with Ronald by his said.

"BACK TO YOUR DRILLS ALL OF YOU!" James yelled.

"James is kicking Rose off the team because she is dating a Malfoy." Lily cried.
Hank smiled at me, "Good job! And man that is unfair! I'm off."
"Me too," Ronald said slinging his Beater bat to the ground.

"Then I'll replace you all." James cried.
"James, your a nut, and your going to replace, three Chasers, two Beaters, and one Seeker in a few hours, because we have our first game tomorrow morning bright and early," Albus said crossing his arms, "And I'm okay with letting you walk out on the field alone, and have to forfeit to Slytherin, no offense Scorpius."

Scorpius shrugged, I squeezed his hand.

"FINE! Rose you can be on the team for one last game, then your off." James said.

"No way man," Hank said shaking his head, "let her stay on the team for good, or I'm off forever, and you know you won't find better then this team."
"Yeah!" Hailey chimed.

James gripped his hands to his side, "You all are-"
"What's going on here."

We all spun around, Uncle Neville was walking towards us.

"I was heading back to the castle from the green house when I heard yelling." He said.

We all stared at each other for a second, and then chaos broke out.
"Rose is dating-"
"James is being unfair-"
"A Malfoy-"
"So we all said-"
"We were quitting the team-"
"RIDDULUS-"
"WHOAH," Uncle Neville cried, waving his hands, "calm down! From what I heard, Rose is dating our friend Scorpius? James has unfairly kicked her off the team, and all the rest of you, sticking up for Rose, quit also?"

"Yep." I said.

"Well one, good for you Rose, you are quite brave. James that was unfair, just because your cousin likes a Malfoy doesn't mean you must kick her off the team. I think a Malfoy as your ally would work out for you all. I mean, when I was in Hogwarts, Draco did mess with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and I, but Scorpius is different."
James rolled his eyes, "Fine, she can be on the team," He turned to Scorpius, "But you mess with my cousin, or this team, or any other Weasley or Potter, I'll make sure your hurt badly."

I rolled my eyes.

"Ok James, but don't worry, your cousin is in good hands." Scorpius said smiling at me.

"And no messing with Pippa or Franky." Lily said.
"Ok, ok." Scorpius said throwing up his hands.

"Can we get back to practice now?" Albus asked.

"Sure." James said.

And we all pushed off the grounds, I stayed behind for a second.
"Thanks Uncle Neville." I said hugging him.

"Any time Rose." He said walking off.

I smiled at Scorpius, "See you when I land, we need to talk about telling our families." Scorpius nodded, and I turned around. I headed out to the middle of the field and pushed up, I rocketed into the air.

As the wind flew through my hair, I laughed.

Author's note: It's not over yet! Rose still has to tell Ron! So stick around!
