Thanks for the reviews, alerts and favs guys :D
Here's the next one...
ENJOY!
Her head was reeling as she recollected everything.
She opened her eyes, and found herself in the Hospital yet again.
"Rose are you ok?" came Lorcan's worried voice. "Rosie?" Al asked waving his hand in front of her face.
"I'm fine. Why am I here?" she asked, trying to sit up.
"You fainted Rosie. Just blacked out." Al said. "For how long?" she asked. "About 10 minutes. That's why we rushed you in here." He said.
Madam Pomfrey came into the room a sad look on her face.
"How are you now Miss Weasely?" she asked, tired.
"I think I got my memory back completely Madam Pomfrey." Rose said, still a bit dazed after the last piece of information she had received.
She nodded knowingly.
After checking Rose's vitals, she cleared her, free to go.
"And don't come back Miss Weasely." She said with a smile. "I'll try madam Pomfrey." Rose answered with a grin of her own.
"Where are we going?" Rose asked Al. he and Lorcan were rushing along the corridors, and she had to almost run to keep pace with them.
"Penelope's worried sick." Al said.
"So we need to let her know you're fine." Lorcan said without pausing in his gait.
So they were going to meet Penelope? The memories were still fresh on her mind, making her sick to her stomach.
Penelope had been right after all. She hadn't trusted her best friend. She had chosen a guy over her. The thought made Rose feel even worse if possible.
She didn't even want to think of Scorpius forget talking to him, but she knew she had to.
But Penelope first.
As soon as she entered the common room she was greeted by a huge roar of already drunk Gryffindors. They paraded her around the room despite her protests and she had no choice but to go along with it.
Finally she felt her feet touch the ground and she made her way over to Al and Pen.
They were in a serious discussion it seemed, and were completely oblivious to the party happening around them.
Rose approached them rather skeptical.
When Al saw her he immediately pulled her into a hug gave Penelope a significant look, a quick kiss and disappeared before Rose realized what was happening.
"Rosie! I'm so glad you're ok!" Penelope said jumping on her before Rose had a chance to say anything.
Rose hugged her back, shocked.
"Al told me everything." She clarified, seeming to understand her confusion.
"I'm so sorry Penelope. I truly am. If I had known I would never have -" "I know Rose. I'm sorry I didn't understand that before." Penelope said waving her off. "I should have realized that you didn't know anything, that in your perspective he hadn't done anything wrong. I was a bitch and I'm sorry." "It was my fault too, I should have trusted you." Rose insisted. "Look it's over now. I'm just glad to be on talking terms with you." Penelope said, always straight to the point.
Rose hugged her fiercely; glad to have her best friend back.
'Wait. Did Al just kiss you?' She asked suddenly.
'Yeah' Penelope said nonchalantly. 'So you're together?' 'I guess so.' she said breaking into a huge grin.
'Finally!' Rose screamed jumping on her again. Both girls were laughing uncontrollably as Penelope recited the events which finally led to them getting together.
"So you're over Sc- Malfoy?" Rose asked.
"It was a silly crush Rose. I think at the back of my mind I always knew Al was the one. I can't believe I'm being so corny, but it's true. We just sort of… click." Penelope said.
"Then why did you go out with Malfoy?"
"Well I don't know really. Whatever you say about the guy you can't deny he's hot. Plus I needed it I guess. I was done watching Al go through girls. I wanted to have a little fun myself. And it was Scorpius Malfoy asking me out, I guess it just got to my head a little." Pen said sheepishly.
Rose smiled sadly at her friend. Penelope was truly happy, anyone could see that. And Rose felt miserable she couldn't share her friend's happiness. If anything, it just drove her into more depression.
"My two favourite girls!" Al came suddenly obviously drunk. Penelope snorted as he put his arm around her.
"Do you want a drink Rosie? You sure look like you need one." He said cheerfully. "No thanks Al." Rose said standing up.
"I'll catch you when you're sober ok? Bye Penelope, and thanks." She said not wanting to be the third wheel. She was sure they wanted some privacy and she too needed some rest. She hadn't even changed out of her quidditch robes yet!
"Wait! What are you going to do about him?" Penelope asked trying to free herself from Al's grip.
"I don't know yet, I need a shower to think things through."
"Suit yourself Ro, but I want you to know I'll be ok with whatever you decide. Don't let me stop you." She said, leaving Rose shocked.
This was coming from the girl whom he had left heartbroken.
"Look I was mad at him, yes. But most of my anger was because he had dumped me so unceremoniously. I found it unbelievable that he replaced me so quickly with her. I was angry for a lot of reasons Rose, but there was also some sense of relief. I had never meant the relationship to get so serious. But it did. Then I saw that I was losing Al, and I couldn't let that happen. Now when I think back I realize how much it affected you too. You guys got pretty close didn't you?" she explained.
Rose just nodded numbly.
"It's your decision Rose." She said pushing her friend towards the door.
Rose wandered out of the Gryffindor common room confused. She did have quite a few questions for him. But she couldn't make head or tail of her feelings right now. She knew it had to be done though. She couldn't hide from him forever.
She set out to look for him and this in itself seemed to be mission impossible. Where had that boy disappeared to now?
She asked everyone she met on her way, but not one person had seen him.
Even if they had seen him they were too drunk to remember correctly or care and this made her job all the more difficult.
After half an hour of searching high and low she decided to get back to the common room.
He would probably be there.
She turned to go back and for a few moments she felt lost.
She tried to gather her bearings and figure out where exactly she was.
She had climbed a lot of stairs to get there which probably meant she was on the 5th or 6th floor.
She sighed in frustration at the way the night was turning out.
The passageway she was in seemed extremely familiar, but she just couldn't place it.
She sank down on the floor, tired from the day's events. She went over everything again in her mind. The quiet and darkness of the corridor was perfect for some introspection.
And then suddenly it hit her.
Of course! She knew where he was.
She had been stupid not to think of it in the first place. He had been the one to show it to her.
She had even commented on how it was a perfect place to just go and think.
And she was pretty close to that corner he had taken her to.
That's how she recognized this isolated area.
She stood up feeling rather giddy at the thought of finally confronting him.
But she walked towards where she now knew the sharp turn was, leading to the window. Where she was almost positive he was.
She turned the corner fast, before she could change her mind.
He was there.
Leaning against the sill, looking out into the inky sky which seemed to stretch on for miles.
He turned when he heard her approach, his furrowed brows releasing when he realized it was her and his face returning to that impassive mask.
But he turned around all the same, his eyes locking with hers in an instant, waiting for her to say something.
"I got my memory back." She stated, looking intently at him for a response.
Don't kill me! I'll upload sooon :D
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
