When in the library here is a list of people who I do not expect to see: Any of my cousins or my brother, Hugo. Here is a list of people who I don't want to see: Albus because there's a sure chance that he'll be dragging Scorpius Malfoy along with him and the people who I do not expect to see. But since when does anything ever go my way when I want it to? Never.
Reason #1 I Go To the Library (Besides to read):
TO BE ALONE!
I know you're probably thinking that I'm not always alone when I go to the library but I am basically. Since no one's bothering me or sitting near me, then I consider that being alone. So if anyone on the lists mentioned before show up I will ignore them in hopes of becoming invisible. When this does not work I'm doomed and I just have to endure it.
Reason #2 I Go To the Library:
There's less chance of me seeing someone I don't like. (Scorpius Malfoy or Destiny Greengrass)
I don't care who you are. You could be the freaking headmistress of Hogwarts. But if you bring Scorpius Malfoy with you when you're going to see me I WILL mind. He's the source of all my problems lately and I just wish I could go one day without seeing him. First of all, we kissed and I said nothing was going on me and him. That marks me down as lying to my cousin for the third time in life. Second, Albus went and told James that I like Scorpius, when I don't, and he tried to kill me. Third, people are starting rumors saying I like him when I don't. Infinity, he's so annoying. And Destiny is just not worth any explanations.
Reason #3 I Go To the Library:
I can avoid my problems here.
All problems are listed above and were caused by a little blonde boy with the last name of Malfoy.
In the life of I, Rose Weasley, you cannot escape anything. Except maybe James of course. But other than that you cannot not escape anything. Even when you go to a place where people never step foot in they still seem to find you. And that's when the plan of ignoring them comes into play but doesn't work because I'm Rose Weasley and my life sucks.
"Hey, Rose." And if I couldn't tell that was Albus then what kind of cousin would I be?
Although I love Al with all of my heart and will do anything for him. I still need my space sometimes so I pretended that I didn't hear him. I flipped the page in the book I was reading and continued what I was doing before. I do admit that I hesitated a bit. I never ignored Albus in my life so it was a little hard. Scratch that. It is hard t ignore your own family, your own best friend. This is the break of Reason #1.
"Are you ignoring me, Rose?" I heard him ask and then I felt a light tug on a strand of my hair.
"Yes. In fact I am, Albus, but you're lucky you're my cousin or I would just keep ignoring you." Closing the book I was reading, I turned around to face him only to be met by a pair of green eyes and a pair of grey. I wasn't expecting this but here is the break of Reason #2. "Brought the trash with you I see." I added and rolled my eyes.
"The trash was already here apparently."
"Nice. And although I do have a bunch of witty remarks, I don't have time to argue with you today. For once can we just make peace?"
You must think I'm crazy for trying to make peace with Scorpius after how many times I've said that I hate him. It's okay though. The library is such a calm and loving place. There's no need to ruin that or ruin my mood and turn me into a kitten eating bitch.
"Oh, haha. Wait. You aren't serious are you?" He asked looking back and forth between me and Albus like he was missing out on a joke.
"I am." I said simply before turning to Albus, "Can you put this back for me please?"
"Okay. But only because you're being nice for once. Don't go at each other's neck before I come back either. I don't want to have to clean up after that." Grabbing the book from my hands he turned around and rushed off quickly. He was serious about what he said.
"Are you going to sit there and look at me all day?" I asked Scorpius, standing up and grabbing another book to put away.
"I could."
"You can." Starting my walk over to the bookshelves I turned around to see him still watching me. You know usually I would give him a good punch for staring but today, I was lazy. Rolling my eyes I disappeared down a random aisle and sat on a table. Leaning my head back against the bookcase I closed my eyes. The only thing I wanted was silence and I would be damned if I didn't bask in it now.
"Did you kill, Rose?" came the faint voice of Albus.
"No. She just walked off. I'll get her if you want..."
"You better. And she better not be dead."
And I knew he was coming. I knew he was there before I even heard his footsteps. But did I even bother to stand up? No. Did I even bother to open my eyes? No. Why? Because I, Rose Weasley, always set myself up for trouble and damage to my brain. Just when I think it's all better, it gets worse. I try to fix it but I only make it worse. Maybe I should stop trying.
"Rose. You should stop daydreaming. Or whatever it is you're doing."
"And you should stop fucking up my life." This is why I shouldn't think so much. When I do, sometimes things like this slip out.
"Sorry, what?"
"I'm not going to fight with you."
"Then don't fight me when I do this."
"Do what?"
I opened my eyes just fast enough to see his close as his lips met mine. This time I didn't care. I could almost swear that I wanted this to happen. I wanted his lips pressed to mine without me giving a care in a world for once. And for once I let myself get caught up in the moment. I let myself grab onto the collar of his shirt and pull him closer. I let him explore every inch of my mouth and I didn't care. Who cares about consequences anymore?
"Scorpius? Did you find Rose?" And just like that I pushed him away. I had pushed away my own happiness.
"Uh... yeah." He said turning away from me as he walked towards Albus' voice.
"Is she alive?" He asked.
"Present." I said hopping off the table I had just been sitting on.
"Well then come on. We're going to drag you out of the library again. Hope you don't mind." Albus smiled as he rounded the corner and stood in front of me and Scorpius.
And Merlin I didn't care because I had found a new reason to go to the library.
Reason #4 I Go To the Library:
Scorpius Malfoy. And his kisses.
Author's Note: Okay I like this chapter but since I can't write for the world it turned out worse than expected. Not to mention that it's 3:49 AM and I still have yet to sleep. But enjoy and review. And psstt. Tell me something you would like to see in future chapters. Oh, did I mention that I totally ship Rose/Albus. Although that might already be apparent. Yet another late chapter. Sorry. Probably a bunch of mistakes but my eyes can't handle it right now.
