CHAPTER SIX:
Walking into the Ravenclaw Common Room, I head straight to my dormitory. I still have a good half hour before classes commence.
How to spend it...
reading a book? No. I will lose myself in the book and not keep track of time. Homework? Already done.
I then look over to the mirror, and before I know it, I am standing in front of it, staring at myself.
It has been a while since I've really studied the way I look, and taken the time to appreciate my features.
I am a small built girl, and quite short. When I was younger, I used to be always be teased for being thin. My hair used to be very frizzy, but now it has found some compromise within itself, and are beach-waved burgundy curls, that cascade down my back, granted. My mum is of colour, and so I inherited a nice, dark olive skin complexion. My eyes are just a regular brown, with a hint of hazel.
I found myself to be quite an average looking girl. There are loads of girls in this school that are way prettier than me, some have inherited veela attributes and can make boys swoon over them like you wouldn't believe.
I began to compare the way I look, to Sirena Chang. She was busty, I was not. She was blonde, I was not. She violated possibly every uniform requirement in the code of conduct, I did not.
But what does it even matter? Scorpius himself, had said that there wasn't anything happening between them, so why should I worry? And as far as I'm concerned, we are just friends.
Later in the afternoon, I had headed down to dinner, I do my usual scan, of the four tables, until I find Gracie, Albus, and Scorpius sitting at the Ravenclaw table. Something is off tonight, Scorpius isn't even budging with his food.
'Is everything alright, you're as white as a ghost' I ask him, and he looks at me like he is about to throw up
'Rose, I need to talk to you, can we get out of here?' he grabs my hand, as a way of telling me to go with him. Grabbing my hand has become a habit of his lately.
And so I follow him outside of The Great Hall, into an empty corridor, where we are surrounded by silence.
'Rose, I need to talk to you about something' he looks at me nervously.
'Okay' is the only thing I can spit out, as I too am starting to become very nervous.
'When my eyes meet yours, I get an emotion so overwhelming I can't even put them into words. The first conversation we had, proper conversation, it's like I found a part of me that was missing, and emotions like these have never really occurred to me before, and I have never found the right person to want to have a proper relationship with, or even see myself with someone, until you, Red' Scorpius is currently drowning in a nervous sweat
I think about it, and the more I do, the more speechless I become to answer back, it's like the words are in my head, they are just having trouble coming out of my mouth. Am I ready to completely throw myself into a relationship? Am I fully prepared to share myself emotionally with another person? I would be lying if I said I didn't have feelings for Scorpius, but to just take a leap of faith into something so serious, is dangerous, and toying with emotions I don't think I fully understand yet.
'Scorpius, I would be lying, if I said I haven't developed feelings for you, because I have. I don't know where this is going, but it seems like, within this term, a lot of changes have been made, and our relationship as a whole has taken a huge jump, and I don't know if I have completely caught up with these changes' I say, staring at him directly, consciously worried that I may be standing in a pool of my own sweat.
'We can just take it slow, Rose. We can make this work, I do believe that. If I didn't have any faith, I wouldn't be standing here now, talking to you about this' Scorpius answers back to me, in a very serious tone, with his facial expression to match.
'I am giving this my all, please, don't make me regret it' I say, my lips trembling and my body shaking from overwhelming emotions of anxiety and excitement.
'I would never, Rose' he cups my face, and kisses me gently on the lips, and for the very first time in my life, everything felt right. He felt right.
