The next day, I realized that Beckett and I had spent practically no time together over the last week, and Valentine's Day was tomorrow. Therefore, I told my boyfriend to meet me at the library, and we could have some romantic time before all the chaos of the Valentine's Day party ensued.

I began to make my way towards the library, a path I knew by heart, when I bumped into something familiar and stumbled, a pair of hands steadying me, "Malfoy, watch where you're going."

"I could say the same to you."

I narrowed my eyes as I realized his hands were still on my arms. He let go with one, but guided me over to the corner with another, "Listen Weasley, Adelaide Cooper is coming down the hallway and I need you to pretend to snog me."

"Excuse me?"

"You don't actually have to do it, just pretend. Now hurry, or I'll have to talk to that annoying 5th year."

"It's not my fault you got her hopes up by taking her to the dance."

He ignored me and backed me against the wall. Suddenly his face was very close to mine, and I immediately shut up, "Fine. But she'd better be gone quickly."

He acted quickly, his hands shot into my hair, he stepped so close that our feet were on the same plane, and he dipped his head as close to mine as possible.

He began breathing extremely deeply, and in my state of shock, he murmured, "Merlin Weasley, play along."

"Fine," I whispered then continued in a much different tone, "hmmmm. Oh my, ahh. Yes. Yes Scorpius. Yessss." I murmured incoherently, when suddenly Malfoy stopped, "Weasley what are you doing?" I stopped the charade, "You said to play along."

"Right. I… forgot."

I looked over his shoulder, "Crap."

Because there stood the only person that could ruin the plan to get Adelaide Cooper off of Malfoy's back.

But that's not the only thing that said person would ruin. My relationship would most certainly be in jeopardy if it wasn't over already.

I pushed Malfoy away quickly, "Beckett I swear it's not what it looks like, I was just helping him with-"

"I don't care Rose. I don't care."

"Beckett please, just listen. I can explain this." I gestured to Malfoy.

"Save it Rose. I came down here to meet with my girlfriend and find her snogging some other guy. I bet you can understand that I don't want to hear your excuses right now."

Malfoy chose that moment to interject, "You know she wasn't actually-"

"And YOU! I can't believe you have the audacity to do this?! I thought we were ok! I've never really cared for any of the Slytherins, but you're always polite so I figured we could be considered acquaintances. Well I never want to see your sodding face again Malfoy!"

"I'm just trying to help Rose explain to you that-"

"Just like she was helping you a moment ago?!"

I covered my eyes, "That's not it Beckett."

"I said shut up!"

I stopped.

And ran.
