Not much to say.. Thanks for the reviews! :) Here we go..


Chapter Eleven: You Can't Always Get What You Want

Scorpius sat in class, not paying attention to what Professor McGonagall was going on about. Every once in a while he would look over his shoulder at the beautiful redhead sitting in the back off the classroom, chewing on her bottom lip in an attempt to look like she was listening to the lecture.

They both knew she wasn't though, and she couldn't help but smile along with Scorpius at her failing attempts. Roland kept seeing his friend's head turn, but couldn't manage to figure out what he was look at so intensely. Just as he was about to give up, he saw Lily Potter smirk at his best friend and it clicked.

Holy shit, they were together. He watched them a bit more before deciding that he was wrong. They weren't together yet, this was still a playing around phase of their relationship. He wasn't sure which was worse, the fact that Scorpius was acting like a fool over a girl or the fact that the girl was none other than Lily Potter.

He couldn't see what his crazy friend saw in her. She was the enemy. Just as Professor McGonagall dismissed the class, Roland grabbed his best friends shoulder. "We need to talk. Now."

Scorpius caught eyes with Lily, apologizing with his eyes before following Roland to an abandoned hallway.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Roland couldn't believe how stupid Scorpius was being, it took all he had not to throw him against a wall and beat his head in.

Both boys went quiet as a ghost floated into and out of the hallway they were standing in, waiting until it was out of ear shot before continuing their conversation.

"Well I was walking to my next class. I don't know what I was supposed to be doing instead." Leaning against the wall that Roland had been fantasizing about pushing him to, Scorpius crossed his arms. "So I guess the real question is, what the hell are you doing?"

Trying to not scream in frustration, Roland bit his cheek. "I saw you. Looking at Potter all through class. Are you insane? I get that you like to stretch limits but she's so off the radar she shouldn't even exist to you."

That was when Scorpius realized that he had screwed up. He should have known that his best friend was too observant for his own good. He just hoped that Roland would understand the crazy decisions he had been making the past couple of weeks.

"Dude, you don't understand-"

"Don't fucking tell me that I don't understand! Holy shit, you are so stupid!" Roland cut Scorpius off, pinching the bridge of his nose the way he always did when he was frustrated.

Scorpius couldn't remember the last time he had seen his best friend this angry. He couldn't decide if it was really anger or if Roland was just being his usual protective self. Either way, he definitely wasn't as understanding as Scorpius had hoped he would be.

Flinging his arm towards the wall, Roland growled. "Do you have any idea what everyone is going to say when this comes out? More importantly, do you have any idea what your DAD is going to do to you? I get that the whole forbidden love thing is hot or whatever, but damn."

"You haven't even really met her. You don't get how great she is." Scorpius tried to not be defensive with Roland, but he was crossing lines that he had no business crossing.

"Can you even hear yourself? You sound even gayer than her homo cousin!" Roland's voice kept growing louder and louder, he refused to even try to calm himself down.

Then Scorpius did something he shouldn't have ever even thought about. "Why do you care so much about her cousin? What do you have the hots for him too?"

The moment the words left his mouth he regretted them. Both boys went deadly silent, Roland's jaw dropped to the floor. Neither of them breathed, both waiting for the inevitable break in the silence.

Roland's voice came out silent and deadly, "Fine, Malfoy. Go ahead and date the bitch then. But I won't be around to watch you dig your own grave. You're on your own."

With that, Roland turned and stalked off. Leaving Scorpius in the dark hallway, more alone than ever.


Scorpius was sitting at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall, avoiding eye contact with everyone as he pushed mashed potatoes around his plate. Roland was sitting at the complete opposite of the table, doing the same.

They hadn't spoken in over three days, and it really started stick with Scorpius that they possibly wouldn't speak ever again. Even when they were sharing a desk in classes, Roland wouldn't even acknowledge that he was there.

Lily hadn't talked to Scorpius since the day he had rushed out of class with Roland, and she was starting to wonder if she had done something wrong. She couldn't even pay attention to Elle going on about what she planned on wearing to the dance at the end of the week. The dance that she was supposed to be attending with Scorpius.

The thought crossed her mind to just suck up her pride, cross the room, and confront him herself. But she knew how that would go over in the middle of an evening feast. So instead she attempted to discreetly catch eyes with him, but he wouldn't even look up from whatever mush was piled on his plate.

The Great Hall was a buzz with chatter about the upcoming dance. Scorpius tried to tune it out but that only seemed to make the words invade his eardrums even more. He let his thoughts drift to Lily, then his new found information on Roland.

Even though he hadn't come out and said it, Scorpius was ninety nine percent sure that Roland was gay. It didn't make much sense, seeing as Roland had been even more sexually promiscuous than Scorpius himself, but he had heard a while ago that it was one of the huge signs of homosexuality.

It didn't bother him like most would think. Unlike most straight guys with a gay friend, he didn't have a big enough ego to think that Roland would automatically want him. And if he did, he wouldn't have done anything to cause his friend more embarrassment.

All he really wanted was for Roland to be just as happy with someone as he was when he was with Lily. Whether that be Hugo Potter or some slutty girl.

Scorpius was awoken from his inner conversation by someone taking a seat directly beside him. He turned to find Lori Shelton closer than was comfortable.

"Hey, you." The words didn't feel right coming from the voluptuous blonde's mouth, seeing as he was used to it coming from Lily's. "So I've been waiting, and still no invitation to the dance? I'm hurt."

Her bright red lips formed a pout that had once attracted Scorpius but now seemed to only repulse him further. There was no doubt that she was sexy as hell, with her well sculpted face and toned body. But it still didn't appeal to Scorpius at the moment.

"Yeah, I guess I just-" He looked towards Lily, catching her eye before looking to Roland, who was watching the confrontation closely. Even in the heat of their separation Roland shot Scorpius a knowing look before nodding towards Lori as if to tell him that was he needed to be with. That was what would keep him at the top of the food chain.

He immediately knew what he had to do, even if it made him hate himself even farther than he already did. "I guess I just hadn't gotten around to it yet. But I'm here now. So what do you say?"

Lori squealed loudly, drawing every eye in the Great Hall to the scene unraveling in front of them. Grabbing the hair on the back of Scorpius' hair, she pulled him forward and against her lips in substitution for her answer.

Scorpius saw Lily's face turn a ghostly white as she saw the kiss happen right in front of her, before she stood to her feet and ran from the Great Hall. Only those around her saw her leave, everyone else in the Hall had their eyes on the tongue exchange going on at the front of the Slytherin table.

Prince of Slytherin? Jackass of the year.
