"I am such an idiot," Rose was thinking contemplating jumping out of the window.
She groaned.
Why had she even tried to imitate Victoire and take her advice. That girl was a veela descendent!
The rules of normal girls did not apply to her.
And she was applying the advice against Scorpius. Scorpius Malfoy who had probably written the book on how to flirt.
She felt so stupid and confused.
Why was she suddenly crushing on Scorpius?
After all these years of rivalry, she was going soft? It was hardly fair.
Scorpius found Rose in Lily's room looking out the window.
"The respect I had for you just went up a notch," said Scorpius making his way towards Rose with a grin on his face, "poor Lily though."
Rose glanced at Scorpius rolled her eyes but smiled nevertheless.
"Where's Al?" asked Rose turning back to the window.
Scorpius stood beside her and tried to see what she was looking at.
"He's trying to challenge Teddy to a duel," snorted Scorpius, "like we all don't know what the outcome of that will be."
"Provided that they even get a chance to pull out their wands before Aunt Ginny hexes both of them," pointed out Rose.
"And there's that," agreed Scorpius nodding.
He glanced at Rose and his breath caught in his throat. Looking out at the distance, with the wind blowing around tendrils of her hair and her high cheekbones , Rose Weasley looked very attractive. Almost enchanting.
Her lips had a slight smile on them like she was prepared to laugh but not quite.
Her skin was the kind of creamy silky texture that made Scorpius's hands itch to touch them.
Her eyes were hypnotic pools of blue.
Scorpius didn't know why he didn't notice it before but Rose Weasley was beautiful.
Rose glanced at Scorpius and breathed in sharply. Her heart started beating very fast.
Scorpius was looking at her with such a tender look on his face that she felt she would melt right there. His intense grey eyes were filled with wonder.
Rose felt the heat crawl up from her neck to her cheeks.
Rose found herself leaning closer.
Scorpius couldn't move. He saw Rose Weasley move closer and closer until their lips were only an inch apart.
Sense kicked into him along with warning bells that rang in his head. He took a step back trying to ignore the guilt when he saw the hurt and rejection in her eyes.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, "But I can't."
With that he turned on his heels and left as fast as he could, leaving Rose alone in the room.
He felt like a dick, he did, but he had to do that. The other emotion that he had felt in that room had scared the hell out of him. He was not ready for that. He had already hurt Rose Weasley once. He could not do it again.
Scorpius didn't stop as he bounded downstairs to where everyone was.
But Rose? What had she been thinking? She could not possibly like him in that way! Why on earth would she?
"Hey," called Albus walking over to Scorpius, "Where are you headed?"
"Home," replied Scorpius curtly, grabbing his jacket.
He needed a long walk to cool off and think. And then take a cold shower. And think.
"You okay?" asked Albus frowning, "You look-,"
"I'm fine," Scorpius muttered pulling out his wand, and then loudly he called, "Thanks for having me, Mrs. Potter."
Without another word Scorpius apparated with a loud crack.
...
Rose slowly walked downstairs in a daze.
So many emotions surged through her that she felt like exploding. She had tried to kiss Scorpius. Her courage points went up by ten. But he had also moved back, looking mortified. Rejection points also went up by ten.
She felt mortified too. But where Scorpius had looked mortified by her actions, she was mortified by her own.
She had thought for a moment that he had wanted to kiss her. She had leaned forward in response to that. Well that as well as the longing that had filled her. Clearly there had been a huge miscommunication.
Rose groaned as she walked into the living room and flopped on to one of the couches. She wasn't surprised that Scorpius was nowhere to be seen.
Dominique suddenly appeared beside her looking curious and excited.
"So I saw you go upstairs," whispered Dom, "and then saw Scorp leave the room to go upstairs. Anything you want to tell me? Any juicy bit of gossip?"
Rose's cheeks flamed and she merely looked at Dom with a grimace.
Dom frowned. She could take a hint. Rose had her "I don't want to say a single word right now" face.
"Later then," said Dom flashing a small smile at Rose before she walked towards her sister.
Rose leaned back against the couch. She needed to think.
