Chapter 11: Learning About Kisses And Dates.
Rose's p.o.v
I looked at the full Gryffindor common room.
Everyone was looking at me with open mouths and wide eyes.
Silence reigned for a few moments.
Then, everybody turned to their friends and started talking.
As I said, things did not look good for me.
By tomorrow, everyone in the school will probably know about the kiss between Alex and I.
And then the rumors will start.....
From the corner of my eyes I saw Lily and her friends, coming at me from the left while Dominique and her friends, were coming at me from the right. Both groups reached my sides at the same moment and all of them started talking and questioning me at once.
"Oh, Merlin. Alex Pucey just kissed you!"
"You're so lucky."
"How was it?"
"Alex is so hooooooooooot."
"Have you done anything else?"
"Have you seen him naked?" accompanied by squeals of joy and excitement.
"Is it true, that he has a tattoo?" more squeals.
My head, started pounding from all the noise and their unstoppable questions, that were coming so fast I couldn't even open my mouth to start answering them.
"Girls, girls take it easy!" Lily said and they stopped talking. Phew.....silence finally! " Give, Rose some breathing room." she said and some of the girls stepped away.
"Now, why don't you excuse us and we'll tel you all the details later?" Dominique said and without waiting for any response from the other girls, started pulling me towards the dorms. Lily, of course followed.
"I can't believe Alex kissed you!" Lily said after we entered the dorm.
"I know, it looked so romantic!" Dominique said while squealing and jumping up and down.
"Wasn't this your first kiss? Welllllllll?" Lily said jumping on one of the beds and looking at me with a gleeful expression.
"Well, what?" I asked while rubbing my temples.
"How was it?" Dominique said with an impatient tone in her voice.
"I don't know......nice?" I said.
"Nice?" Lily said slowly.
"Yes." I answered her.
"Only nice?" Dominique said, I nodded. " I mean, you didn't get any shivers?" I shook my head. "No fluttering of your stomach?" I shook my head no again. " Didn't see any stars behind your eyelids?" I shook my head again. "Did your eyes at least close?" she asked, I thought back to that moment. And my eyes were open so I shook my head no again. Dominique sighed disappointed.
"Is that bad?" I asked them.
"Not exactly... bad. It's just that......your feelings about Alex aren't, strong enough...." Lily said.
"Does that mean anything? I mean this was our first date....couldn't things change in the future?" I asked bewildered. I really liked Alex and I really am trying to move on from Scorpius, so what if all those things didn't happen to me? It was still early, wasn't it? And after all, the kiss happened so fast...
"Yes, yes of course they could." Dominique said, but both her and Lily looked a lot less excited.
"So anyway, did you have a good time with him at the Carnival?" Lily said.
"Yeah, surprisingly enough I had an excellent time! Alex wasn't at all how I thought he was." I said with a small smile.
"Really? How so?" Lily asked again.
"He was just different... I thought he was going to act all superior and cocky but he was far from that. He was funny and smart with just the right amount of sarcasm added when necessary." I said.
"So what you're saying.....is that you like Alex and had fun with him." Dominique said.
"I guess so." I said hesitantly. I am sure now they would drop the 'I told you so' card.
"See? Didn't we tell you?" Lily said smirking. "But no, you had to go and make things harder, much harder!" Lily said giving me a glare.
"Okay, I admit you were right." I said with a shrug of my shoulders.
"And you did a couple of things from the list too." Dominique said excited. I shrugged again. I had an awful headache and I didn't feel like talking much at the moment.
The girls where commenting on my date and everything else while I sat and listened to them. After they talked about it for a couple of minutes, I decided to bring up another subject.
"So, how did your kissing booth go? Kiss anyone interesting?" I said and wiggled my eyebrows. Dominique at the question looked absolutely delighted while Lily paled for a minute and then proceeded to look angry. Hmmm, wonder what happened?
"Oh you won't believe what happened to Lily!" Dominique said while laughing, quite gleefully might I add.
"What? What happened?" I said exchanging looks between a mad Lily and a laughing Dominique.
"It was the most hilarious thing, I've ever seen...." Dominique said while laughing again.
"Shut up! It wasn't funny at all...." Lily said red in the face. Dominique laughed even harder and started saying something that I couldn't make out. Lily threw a pillow at her.
"Will anyone tell me what happened?" I asked looking curiously at them both. Dominique looked at me and started opening her mouth to answer me.
"S......s.....she.....she........." insert laughter here "....kis.......kis.....kissed........" more laughter here "Mm.......mm...... Marco."
"What?" I screamed while my head whipped towards Lily, who at the moment was hiding her red face behind her hands. "What? How? Why? When? HOW?" I said trying to get my mind around what happened. "I.....I thought....you....you......" I said completely baffled, while trying to convey my thoughts and feelings. "You didn't like Marco like that?" I said finally.
"I didn't and I certainly don't do now!" Lily said while jumping up from the bed and pacing around the room furiously. Dominique was rolling on the floor laughing.
"How.........how did it happen?" I asked, still awestruck from the news.
"He was in line, and when it was he's turn, Leah decided I should take my turn on the booth. I screamed, he screamed, we Both screamed and argued. He wanted to kiss Morgan, who was before me I didn't want to kiss him. The other guys were getting restless and started screaming to us to just get done with it........." Lily said all in once without taking a breath.
"So what did you do?" I asked with my eyes wide open. Marco kissing Lily was and is, just plain weird. I can't imagine them doing anything else except fighting.
"What do you think I did? I had no other choice, except to do it and get it done with...." Lily said frustrated.
"Why didn't you ask Morgan to take your place?" I asked , Lily stopped pacing and stood unmoving for one moment then started hitting her forehead.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid....... I -I didn't even think about it...." Lily said, still hitting her forehead. Dominique started laughing again.
"I....... I don't know what to say......" I said, still awestruck.
"You, don't know what to say? I was the one who had to go through.........through that disgusting absolutely horrible, awful, hideous, odious experience." Lily finished with a flurry of her hand and a shiver.
"It didn't look like it was that hideous...." Dominique commented with a smirk. Lily's eyes narrowed on her.
"How dare you!" Lily almost shrieked "To even insinuate that I actually enjoyed that......that kiss....." Lily finished breathing hard. "Like I would ever enjoy that......" she said and continued to mumble for the next few minutes
"Okay, Lily...we get it! You didn't enjoy the kiss at all. Can you calm down, now?" I asked trying to will my headache away. Lily stopped mumbling and sat down taking deep breaths.
"So........what do I do now?" I asked with a sigh, while looking at the girls questioningly.
"What do you mean, what to do now?" Lily asked a little to loud, I winced.
"I mean...what am I doing with Alex? Are we a couple? Just friends? People who shared a kiss?"
"What did he tell you? Did he ask you to be his girlfriend or ask you out again?" Dominique said looking at me.
"He said he had a great time and that he would like to do it again sometime. So.......... we're dating?" I asked them and the girls nodded. " But if we're dating, doesn't that make me his girlfriend?" I asked confused.
"No...... it means you're dating." Dominique said.
"I don't get it. What's the difference?"
"Dating is...dating. It means you can go out with other people and do things with other people." Lily said talking to me like I was a three year old. "Now, if you were in a relationship, that means you're exclusively dating one person. Got it?" she asked using that tone of voice again.
"Yeah, I think so!" I murmured, what Lily said actually made sense.
"I'm glad we had this Carnival!" Dominique said out of the blue. Me and Lily looked at her questioningly. "Come on we all had fun, even you Lily despite the kiss. It's such a same though, we don't have a lot of things coming up until February...." Dominique finished with a sigh.
"Well, not exactly." I said and proceeded to explain. "We have a Hogsmead visit coming up, two quidditch games and the annual Weasley Christmas party. There's also Scorpius's and Marco's birthday coming up, and I'm pretty sure that they'll have something up their sleeves." I finished.
"You're right. When you say it that way, it sounds like a lot things to do." Dominique said.
"I completely forgot about the Hogsmead visit." Lily said. "But now, that you brought it up, guess what you're going to do that day?" Lily said with a really wide smile.
"Ummmm, go out with Alex?" I guessed.
"Nope. You're going shopping.....with us!!!"she finished gleefully. I groaned. Going shopping with them two, is completely torturous.
I wouldn't even wish it to my worst enemy!
See, Rose what you get? Ha see, that we'll teach you next time to fall for a guy that doesn't even know you're a girl.
"Can we wrap this up? I'm completely exhausted and have a headache." I said while rubbing my temples.
"Yeah, sure... I'm pretty tired too." Lily said and yawned.
Five minutes later I was tucked in bed, sleeping like a log.
-0-0-0-0------0------0-0-0-0-
"Wake up Lily" I screamed for the umpteenth time.
"Hmm……go…away…." Lily's voice came from inside the bed covers and pillows.
"Come on, Lily. Get up." I said again.
"Uh….uh……sleep." Her sleepy voice replied once more.
"Come on, it's almost ten o'clock, we have to go down for breakfast." I said again, saying the magic word.
"Breakfast?" she asked while uncovering her self. "That sounds good……." She said thoughtfully, while rubbing off the sleep from her eyes with one hand and patting her stomach with the other.
"Chop, chop now. Dominique is waiting for us in the Great Hall." I said and Lily scowled at that.
Ten minutes later we were entering the Great Hall.
I looked at the Gryffindor table and spotted Dominique sitting with Nikos, Marco and surprise…… Scorpius and Albus. They never wake up before 11 on weekends, unless they have a game or practice and today they have neither. Wonder what's going on.
"Good morning you guys."I said sitting next to Marco and Nikos.
"Hello Rosie, what's up?"Albus said while eating his toast. Scorpius smiled at me…..I swear to God I'll never get used to his smile, it's so…..breathtaking…
Stop it Rose. We said you're going to move on….. So stop thinking about his smile……Stop it I said.
"Hello…"A chorus from the others sounded.
"How come you're up at this time?" I asked looking at Scorpius and Albus sitting across from me.
"Marco made us!" Scorpius grumbled.
"Yeah, something about needing protection from Lily…." Albus said looking questioningly between his sister, sitting next to him and his friend, sitting across from him.
Dominique and Nikos immediately started laughing with that sentence. I guess, Nikos saw the whole incident, yesterday as well.
Lily glared at them and said nothing.
Marco was looking at Lily with a timid expression on his face, like he was afraid she was going to start beating him up, at any moment now.
I chuckled a little; the image of a big guy like Marco being afraid of Lily is a quite hilarious.
Lily, who heard my chuckle, turned her glare on me and a smirk started forming on her face.
Uh….uh, I don't like that smirk at all.
She's probably going to say something now, that will not be good for me, not good at all.
"Did you guys hear what happened yesterday?" she asked looking at the guys next to her.
"No, we didn't hear anything……what happened?" Scorpius asked her.
"Pucey kissed Rose, in front of all Gryffindor!" Lily said smiling, my mouth fell open. I can't believe she said that. Okay, I know that at some point of the day they would hear about it, but I didn't want to be in their presence when they did. I would much, prefer to be at least on the opposite side of the castle, from where they were.
"What?" Scorpius spit the pumpkin juice he was drinking.
My eyes were wide open and everyone was looking at me now.
I didn't know what to say, what to do…so naturally, I said and did the first thing that popped into my mind.
"Marco and Lily kissed, on the mouth!" I said pointing at them.
Lily blushed and Marco choked on….. apparently, nothing.
"What?" Now, Albus screamed.
"What do you mean they kissed?" Albus and Scorpius asked at the same moment. Albus looking at me and Scorpius looking at Lily. Dominique and Nikos started laughing again.
I don't understand.........what's so funny about this, that makes them laugh like there's no tomorrow?
The rest of us kept looking at each other, not knowing what to say or do.
Then, Dominique started laughing even more and started pointing at something behind me. I turned around and saw Alex waking towards us.
Oh shit….oh no….what should I do?
I mean….yes, I like Alex .......but he kissed me yesterday, in front of all Gryffindor and now he's walking calmly towards me like nothing happened? And not to mention the fact that all my best friends are right here beside me.
This situation, is starting to become more and more awkward.
"Good morning Rose, guys." He said looking at me and then nodding his head at the others.
"Hello, Alex." I said with a small smile while my cheeks starting to burn.
"Pucey, what are you doing here?" Scorpius asked a little gruffly.
"I was just wondering , if Rose wanted to come with me for a walk outside?" Alex said and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
Everyone turned their eyes on me.
Should I stay or should I go?
Lily and Dominique, were waggling their eyebrows at me.... I'm assuming that, their gesture meant that I should go?
Nikos was also nodding his head discretely towards Alex, which I also took as meaning that I should go.
Marco, Albus and Scorpius were just looking at me and waiting for my answer.
Okay, Rose, you can do this just take a deep breath......
"Sure, I'd love to." I said and got up from my seat. "I''ll see you later, alright?" I said to the girls and guys. The girls smiled and waved at me, while the guys nodded.
Alex and I headed towards the exit and from there we proceeded to walk outside by the lake.
Things at the beginning were a little slow, but after a while they started to pick up and pretty soon Alex and I were discussing about everything and everyone.
The day, was unusually sunny and pleasant for this time of the year, so we decided to sit underneath a tree and enjoy it while also continuing our conversation; the current topic was books.
"Such a shame though, that we never found out who did all those things that Lockhart wrote in his books." Alex said and I nodded.
" My dad, told me all about him. You know, he was their DADA professor back in the day. Actually, it was the same year that the whole 'Chamber of Secrets' incident happened." I told him, while remembering all the stories my parents told me from their school days.
My parents and uncles school days were so adventurous! I felt and still feel slightly jealous of them. They have so many adventurous and exciting stories, while I only have ordinary, boring stories from classes and sometimes quidditch games. Nothing exciting like; getting past three headed dogs or chasing a basilisk underground the school or running into the ministry at the dead of the night and dueling with criminal. No, nothing like that.............
"Yeah, he was my parents professor as well...My dad also mentioned the whole 'Chamber of Secrets' thing too. He told me, that people actually thought that it was your uncle; Harry Potter, that opened the Chamber. Ridiculous, right?" he said while giving me a smile.
"Yeah, it is. But people are .....fast to believe in something, as long as it fits the bill, even if sometimes it's not the right bill." I exclaimed with a sigh. "Anyway, what I wanted to say was that Lockhart performed memory charms to all the people that he got the stories from, so even when he confessed that all those tasks weren't done by him, no one could come up and take credit for them."
"I guess, we're never gonna know...." Alex finished with a shake of his head. "You know what other book I read and really, really enjoyed?" he asked me, I shook my head no. "It's called 'The magic behind No.8.' it's mostly an Arithmacy book but the author somehow manages to also connect it with Divination, Charms, Transfiguration, Potions and Astronomy. It's really original and it has some good ideas. You should check it out some time."
" The magic behind No.8, ha?" I said thoughtfully. " I don't think I've read it....Do you remember the author's name?" I asked him while tapping a finger to my jaw.
"No, sorry, I can't recall his name at the moment." Alex said looking at me apologetically. "But I'm sure Ms. Sokoro, will be happy to help you. After all, you must be one of her favorite students." Alex said with a smile while I scowled at the mention of our librarian.
Ms. Sokoro wasn't what one would call helpful, and I'm pretty sure that her only favorite person in the world is her cat, Dunky. And he's not even human.
"Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure about that.....Ever since she caught me one time in fifth year eating some chocolates with the guys, she only looks at me with a 'I'm watching you and I''ll never let you defile this sacred haven of mine' sort of look." I said and Alex burst into laughter which I followed soon after.
"She is, a little paranoid." Alex stated after a while.
"Yeah, she is." I said our laugh subsiding.
We gazed at the lake after that, while a light breeze flew our hair back. It was relaxing and nice, Alex turned out to be a really great guy but still...... I felt as if we were just........friends....
The kiss was nice, but it was only my first kiss and I didn't feel anything.......exciting or my heart speeding up or my palms getting all sweaty or blood rushing through my vanes.
But again, all those things happen to the heroins in the romance books I read, who knows if they really do happen in reality. Maybe this right here, is what happens in real life. Maybe there's no such thing as a 'spark' that lights between two people with a simple touch. Maybe friendship is the first emotion that you should feel, and then come all the rest. After all isn't that what happened to me?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Alex asked me.
"Oh, nothing serious. Just thinking...." I lied.
"You want to head in?" he asked me.
"Sure." I said and Alex helped me on my feet.
We walked back to the castle and before we got in Alex stopped me.
"Look, there's a Hogsmead visit next weekend and I was wondering if you wanted to go together?" he asked me hesitantly.
"Sure, I'd really like it but we'll have to meet there, because I promised I would go shopping with the girls that day too." I said with a small smile.
"Yeah sure, you tell me the time and where you'd like us to meet. Alright?" he asked me.
"Okay, so I guess I'll see you later?" I asked hesitantly. After all it's not like I know what to say to a guy that had kissed me the previous night and was know asking me on another date. And most importantly is he going to kiss me again and if yes, what should I do? Kiss him back or avoid it or sit still?
"Yes, I'll see you later." he said and leaned down towards me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked inside the castle.
Phew......thank Merlin, he didn't kiss me on the mouth.......
I walked inside the castle and decided to study for the rest of the day and avoid everyone...
-0-0-0-0------0------0-0-0-0-
The following week flew by fast. Of course by Monday, news of the kiss that me and Alex had shared, were all over the castle .
And what I was afraid of, actually did happen.
Rumors had started to fly around the school like Peeves, our resident poltergeist.
And not to mention the fact that every few minutes I was stopped by giggling girls all around the school, to hear how lucky I am, that I'm dating Alex and that I am friends with the hottest guys in school, meaning Scorpius, Albus and Marco.
I swear, if I was cornered one more time by a giggling mob of girls, I would go freaking mad.
Now, my second date with Alex was alarmingly close, only two hours away to be exact.
At the moment, I was being dragged all over Hogsmead by my two crazy cousins. We have been to at least 5 clothing shops, and I am dragging at least thirteen shopping bags with me at the moment.
"Can we stop?" I asked out of breath. "I feel exhausted, thirsty, hungry and my feet are killing me, with these stupid shoes you gave me to wear." I said and pointed down at the stupid high heels the girls gave me to wear.
Of course, I had to undergo their stupid little make-over process, again. Today they chose for me to wear some really, really tight jeans called thin or skinny or something like that, a white long sleeved v-neck t-shirt and a black tight fitting leather jacket. My hair were straight and up in a sleek ponytail. My lips were a shiny pink color and my eyes were rimmed with black eyeliner.
I told them this outfit was a little over the top, for a Hogsmead village, but they would hear none of it. But when I actually saw their outfits and the way some of the other girls were dressed, I re-evaluated my opinion on the outfit.
Jeesh, if only you could see this girls and how they're dressed....... They look......... I can't even find words to describe them.
"Come on, one more shop!" Dominique pleaded. "We have to buy you underwear." she said a little to loud, causing people to look at us. I blushed.
"Dominique!" I squealed. "Can you not scream? And what do you mean, we have to buy me underwear?" I asked while glaring at her.
"Well, you see, I accidentally set your old clothes on fire!" Lily said with a look that was anything but apologetic.
"You did, what?" I screamed. I felt faint and mad, really mad. "You burned, my clothes? All of them? Why? Are you crazy? You burned everything I had.... What am I going to wear now?" I said all in one breath.
"Well, I didn't do it on purpose..... okay not exactly on purpose, I didn't mean to burn your underwear, that actually was an accident." she said with a smile on her face. I kept glaring at her. "Ohh, come on it's not like you had anything cute or nice, so see no harm done." she said with a shrug of her shoulders.
My fingers started twitching and I had the strongest urge to wrap my hands around her neck and start squeezing.
"Come on, let's move on. You'll thank us later." Lily said, I didn't budge.
"You expect me to act all normal, after you just told me that you burned all my clothes?" I shrieked again.
"Think about it, no matter how mad you are or how many times you jinx or curse me, the fact that I burned your clothes will not change and neither the fact that you need some underwear will." Lily said and started dragging me again, towards one of the stores. She was right, of course, but she had no right to burn my poor clothes......
I felt like kicking her in the butt.
So that's what I did.
"Hey, that hurt!" Lily said while rubbing her behind.
"It was meant to." I told her, vehemently.
"Why did you do that?" Lily said sounding outraged.
"Revenge, for my poor clothes that you burned." I said. Lily got ready to say something.
"Come on girls, stop it. Lily, you know you deserved that kick and Rose, you're done with your revenge, so can we move on now?" Dominique said. Lily and I nodded slowly while glaring at each other.
We got into a store called 'Thousand and one nights'. They had lingerie and night clothes. After debating and fighting with the girls over what to buy and what not, we exited the store one and a half hour later with four more bags at hand.
"I'm going to head down at the 'Three Broomsticks', alright?" I said to the girls
"Yeah, you go on and have fun...." Lily said.
"Hey, what should I do about my bags?" I asked them while pointing at the bags. Dominique sighed.
"Here, honey we'll take them, after all we're going to head towards the castle, in a bit." Dominique said and they got the bags, we said our goodbyes and we each headed our way.
At the 'Three Broomsticks' I met with Alex and had some butterbeers and something to eat.
As always we discussed a lot of things and had fun, and after a couple of hours we headed back to the castle, where Alex kissed me on the cheek as a goodbye and headed towards the dungeons while I headed up to the seventh floor.
The date was fun, but I still didn't feel anything more than friendship for Alex.
Every time I even tried to think of him as something more than a friend, Scorpius would pop in my mind and all my tries would go to naught.
It seems useless, to even try to move on. But I can't keep on doing this, I can't keep being in love with Scorpius..... It is only making me miserable.
But what should I do, if I only see Alex as a friend? Should I tell him and start dating other people? What if he is in love with me, I can't just break his heart like that? Can I? I guess the only thing to do for now, is wait and see how things go. If I still see Alex, as a friend in a month.....I'll tell him the truth. It's the least he deserves from me.
Suddenly, I crashed into a wall and fell down on my behind. Or I think it was a wall, because said wall was warm, moving and smelt really, really nice.
Can walls be warm, moving and smell nice?
I looked up and my breath hitched.
It was Scorpius, as handsome as always and he was looking down at me with a weird look that I couldn't decipher.
"Ohh, so sorry....." he said "Here let me help you up." he said and extended his hand. I took it and tried to act normal. He pulled me up to my feet a little too forcefully, so as fate brought it I ended up falling into him, again. His hands came reflexively around my waist to balance me.
My heart started skipping , my breath hitching, my stomach had fallen down to my knees and my head felt extremely light. In other words I felt faint!!!
This was the first time I was this close to a man.....and not to mention that said man, was Scorpius. The man, that I have been secretly in love with for years now.....
I looked up at him. He was still looking at me with that weird look. My breath was coming in short gasps and I felt really lightheaded. I had to stop touching him now or I would faint.....
I tried to pull away but his hands wouldn't budge. I tried again. Scorpius jumped away startled and put his hands behind his back. I took a step back and cleared my throat.
"Sorry, I ..... I wasn't watching were I was going.." I said not looking at him and hoping that for once, my cheeks didn't resemble a tomato.
"Don't worry about it....it's not like I was paying any attention either. So............ how was.....your date?" he asked me and I turned towards him.
"It was good, I mean nice!!!" I said fast. "So......" For some reason this situation was extremely awkward.
"Sooooooo....... are you headed to Gryffindor?" he asked me.
"Yeah..... I guess I'll go now." I said and started walking.
"Wait, let me escort you." he said and rushed beside me.
We walked in silence for a bit.
"So....you and Alex, ha?"
"Yeah....."
"That definitely caught me off guard!" he said, looking at me with a half smile.
"Yeah, it definitely caught me off guard.." I said with a smile and we both laughed somewhat hesitantly.
"So, what's up with you dressing like that?" he said and pointed up and down at me.
"Like what?" I asked
"Like that, you know tight clothes, make up and your hair..." he tried to explain. My nerves started to prickle, what was Scorpius exactly trying to say?
"So what you're asking is why I'm dressed like all the other girls?" I asked starting to get angry.
"Yes, I guess.......I mean...... why dress like that? Like all those stupid girls. " he replied sounding hesitant.
"I can't believe you just said that." I said outraged. "You think I shouldn't dress like this, yet you go and date all these girls that dress much, much worse. You're such a hypocrite." I said and stormed away from him while he was looking at me with his jaw hanging.

Hope you liked it, I was planning on updating faster but somebody vandalized my car and stole my purse some days ago, so I was a little upset still am.
Next chapter will have, somebody's birthday and a quidditch match, plus more moment between Rose and Scorpius. I'm also thinking of having a second p.o.v, but haven't decided who yet.
Don't forget every tenth reviewer gets a sneak peek into next chapter.
Andio
Till next time......
