Chapter 3 – Classes, Gossip and the WBBC

Rose's POV:

For the next week I found out that I had most of my classes with Mya and Fie luckily – how would I stay sane this year without them – the only classes we didn't have together was DADA – Defense Against the Dark Arts – and Muggle Studies.

We were sitting in the common room when Lily walked in with a cheeky grin on her face.

"Lil? What's up?" Mya asked confused.

"Well Jacob Shean just asked me out," She said excitedly.

The three of us exchanged looks. Fie asked, "Do you mean that guy who's cute but only has like fortnightly girlfriends?"

She nodded. Mya asked, "What did you say?"

Lil rolled her eyes at the question and replied, "Yes, obviously she is like the hottest most gentlemanly guy ever," She stated dreamily.

I sighed and knew that it would end up with him ditching her for another girl. I carefully said, "Lil, you do realize that he is considered a flirt who goes through girlfriends as fast as Albus can eat toast right?"

"I know but he said that we have a sort of connection, you know," She replied. Lily was always infatuated with the fairy tale stories where there was a prince saving some damsel in distress. I mentally face-palm Uncle George's decision to read her those stories. I personally don't believe in all of that soul mate sort of stuff because how could you feel so certain that that one person is "meant to be" with you when the future is a very uncertain space of time.

"Well, just don't go too deep ok Lil?" I said. She nodded in response and went to her room.

"Let's take a break I think my brain feel a sleep," Mya complains as she lightly taps her forehead on the book in front of her.

"Ok then," I agreed because even I started to feel sluggish.

"How about we go for a walk to Hogsmeade?" Fie suggests eagerly.

"Hey, if you wanted to see Mark that badly you should have just said earlier," Mya joked knowingly – Fie had this crush on Mark on of James' friends since the end of third year but he is as dense as James when it came to relationships. Fie started to grin as she grabbed a small cushion and tossed it straight at Mya. This in turn created a short pillow fight before we decided to go for the walk.

It was a Sunday mid-morning so it was fairly quiet. I had decided to wear jeans and a long-sleeve aqua top with my dark blue hoddie. Fie was wearing a cute pink and black pleated skirt with pink leggings underneath and a purple jumper – Fie had always had a very styling look and she was very pretty with her waist length raven hair and violet eyes. Mya, had rainbow coloured leggings with a denim shorts over the top with a figure fitting tie-dye shirt and her red long-sleeve cardigan – Mya made an effort to make life colourful…literally sometimes and it went well with her shoulder-length golden hair with random rainbow streaks.

On our way through the castle to get to the courtyard we encountered Al and Malfoy.

Al greeted, "Hey Rosie, Fie, Mya, where are you girls off to?"

"Hi Al, and Scorpius" Fie replied cheerily.

"Hey Al," Mya said quieter than she usually talks to people but then quick reverted back when she greeted Malfoy – who had said a simple "Hey" to both greetings.

"Hey, we're off to Hogsmeade," I replied and had the feeling that Malfoy was looking at my evident lack of grace in my fashion choices.

Al had his Weasly jumper on with his baggy-ish jeans. Malfoy had an emerald green jumper with black trousers. Malfoy's looks again stopped me in my tracks as I – without meaning to – take in his graceful features that were mesmerising.

Malfoy then had to end the moment with a smart ass comment, "Maybe you should stay away from cloth shopping, Weasly, it's not going to help you as a tomboy."

He really knew how to infuriate me, you could probably see the anger radiating from me because Fie and Mya and even Al seemed to notice.

"Right, so we'll be off before we become witnesses at a murder scene," Mya joked as she started to drag me towards the courtyard.

Al laughed and – I thought I saw Mya blush slightly – said, "Yep, I wouldn't want to be down 1 cousin or loose a best friend, come on Scorp." They headed inside while we continued to Hogsmeade.

- 1 week later -

Turns out I have DADA, Potions and Astronomy with Malfoy, Al as well of course but Malfoy was my rival I didn't want him to interfere with my beating him. I woke up early on Monday morning by Fie who is an early riser. Barely awake I had a shower to try and wake up. It usually took me about an hour to be fully awake and I was not a morning person. I could usually be pretty frightening in the morning – Fie and Mya learn that quickly. After the shower I was somewhat agreeable at least. I pulled on my uniform while Fie got Aria out of the shower she would always take the longest. Beth and Emily were still asleep, Nora wasn't in the room so she was probably in the common room or at breakfast. Mya was sleepily putting her shirt on backwards which as usual Fie and I had to correct her – what would that girl do without us – when that was done we headed down to breakfast ourselves.

The Gryffindor table was barely occupied as we sat down for breakfast. I then overheard – not intentionally they were talking really loud I wouldn't be surprised if the Slytherin could hear them – some of the girls gossiping about three usual topics. Guys. Fashion. Parties. I mean do they ever think about anything productive? One of them was going on about break ups when I suddenly became very interested in a topic that arose.

"Did you hear?" One said.

"No, what?" the other replied.

"Scorpius Malfoy has a new girlfriends again, and it's Selene Nott," she informed.

At that point I had stopped listening because I didn't want to anymore. Selene Nott was a 6th year and a generally nice person to people in general but definitely not to me or my cousins because of our families. She acted all sweet when she was a real slutty bitch in reality. For some reason I was very disappointed in Malfoy's low choice for a girlfriend. It's not my place to judge his love life? Why do I even care? I thought.

I continued with my breakfast and not to long after Greg Marsh – a guy in my house and year – approached me.

"Hi Rose," He greeted with an energetic smile and without sitting down.

I turned to face him and said, "Hey Greg, what's up?"

"Do you mind if I talk with you privately for a minute?" He asked trying to look casual but he was definitely nervous: he kept on glancing at the table and not looking me in the eye.

I give Fie and Mya a look that hopefully said Should-I-or-do-I-talk-to-him-later. They both smiled with amusement and Mya gestured subtly towards Greg.

"Sure," I said politely.

I followed him out into the Entrance Hall and waited for him to say whatever it was that he need to say.

This time he looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Rose Weasly will you please go out with me?"

I think I slightly suspected it but it was still sort of a shock. No one has asked me out since WBBC scared of a boy back in third year…he hasn't talked to me since. In any case Greg must be game to be able to face the WBBC.

I then replied.

Scorpius' POV:

I was heading done to breakfast with Al but then we heard voices in the Entrance Hall so we stopped and hid. Why we were hiding I had no idea it was Al's idea but then I immediately recognised Weasly's voice.

"Of course I'll go out with you Greg," She said kindly.

Greg…wasn't that, that guy that cheated on his girlfriend for months and strangely there were not rumour's spread when they broke up which is totally uncommon at Hogwarts, I thought. I got this nagging feeling that, for one I didn't think Weasly would be able to balance school and a boyfriend in such an important year; I got this feeling of dread and doom and something that made me feel sick and angry spontaneously. Why was I even concerned with Weasly? I have my own girlfriend to worry over, I mentally face-palmed. I looked at Al who looked like he was planning that guy's funeral. I knew straight away that Al and James and the rest of the pack would have some "fun" and "meet" him as they say. What they really mean is scare the guy half to insanity and if he came back he was an ok guy. I learnt from watching them that you as a guy don't mess with the girls in the Potter-Weasly clan that is suicidal.

Once Weasly and that Greg guy – whom I honestly dislike – went back into the Great Hall, Al and I entered.
