Coincidence - Rose POV
As soon as I read the first few lines of the letter I started running around the house like crazy, pounding and screaming.
- I got it! I got it!
By the time my mother and my father looked at me as if I was a blast-ended skrewt until I screamed too:
- I'm head girl!
And then my father almost threw me to the ground when he hugged me, as he said countless times This is my daughter! My daughter, the head girl! Just like her mother! My mother smiled at me like she never did before, and that day she made pumpkin cake because she knew that was my favorite, and invited the Potters to dinner. She even forced me to put the gold badge with a giant and shinny H on my chest. That's when thing got complicated.
- Me? No Rose, I'm not head boy. - Albus told me when I congratulated him.
I didn't knew whether to scream or cry, because I actually knew very well who, in this very moment, had a badge just like mine in his hands. However it was only when I got on the train and saw it on his chest that I realized the real consequences of us both being heads.
Maybe not. - I thought to myself, while Jo and Delly entertained themselves sharing news of the Summer - Maybe I'll stay with the head boy of my team! Or Hufflepuff's... Or Ravenclaw's!
But as soon as I arrived at Hogwarts I realized that what I feared most had happened. Coincidence or not, me and Scorpius Malfoy were going to share the same common room for the rest of the year.
And here I was, after muttering Pumpkin Juice and the passage, that was on the fifth floor, had been opened to reveal one of the four heads' common rooms, the one that would be mine. And Malfoy's. He was right behind me and we hadn't exchanged a single word. The room was very large and bright, was in shades of beige and brown, had a fireplace that was lit, a couch and a chair, some paintings and a stair that led up to a higher platform, from one side a door with the standard of Gryffindor, a golden lion on a red background, and a door on the other side with the banner of Slytherin, a silver serpent on a green background, respectively my room and Malfoy's. I noticed that the common room had two windows overlooking the lake and at for moments I would rather throw myself than share that space with him for the rest of the year.
I ended up sighing and land my trunk on the ground and then turned to him.
- This is how things are going to happen Malfoy, sharing a common room isn't going to change anything. I have a room and you have a room and we don't have to talk to each other more than the necessary.
He raised an eyebrow, but didn't raise any objection.
I grabbed my trunk to take it to my room when he caught me by the arm to keep me from continuing. I shuddered at the touch, but I didn't move, nor released me. Then, I heard him say:
- Things won't stay like this, Rose, you won't be able to avoid me forever. A year is a long time, and a lot can happen.
Then he let me go, but I couldn't move me. He passed by me and then went upstairs to the bedroom that belonged to him. After, I finally sighed and walked to my room.
This would be a difficult year. Very difficult. Too difficult.
