Chapter 9
Easter holidays
After the Valentin's day dance Rose and Scorpius were both trying to hide the fact the liked each other. They knew that their parents and friends would disapprove of them being together. However no matter what they did they couldn't stop thinking about each other.
"Ok this is impossible" Rose stated one afternoon at the frozen black lake.
"What's impossible" Scorpius asked.
"Trying to ignore the fact that we like each other" Rose responded.
"What are saying?"
"I'm saying maybe we should forget what the others would think and try this out."
"You mean we go on a date and see if there's a chance we could make a relationship work?"
"Yes, so what do you think?"
"Ok, but let me make the plans" Scorpius agreed.
They walked back to the castle soon after that. Although it wasn't attentional they ended up holding hands until they reached the castle. They then went their separate ways, Rose caught up with Victorie and Dominique, and Scorpius caught with one of this friends from slytherin house.
The next day in class Scorpius passed Rose a piece of parchment under the table. Rose unfolded it and read what was on it. It was the plans for their date: shirking shack, 8:00 tonight. Rose nodded and folded the paper when Albus tried to read it over her shoulder.
That night Rose dressed up and met Scorpius at the whomping willow. They calmed down the tree and entered the shirking shack. Inside in one of the rooms was a table for two with a lighten candle. They seated themselves at the table and a house elf came along with their food. Scorpius had arranged for them to have lasagna.
Supper was eaten in silence and afterwards the house elf turned on some music. Just like at the dance they were slow dancing. Caught up in the moment they started to kiss again losing awareness to all their surroundings. Suddenly the chatter of a bunch of people stopped them dead in their tracks.
"Where is that music coming from" Jane's voice sounded.
"Sounds like it's coming from in there" Sunny's voice said.
There was no time to hide or run, they just quickly stepped away from each other as the door opened. James, Kate, Olivia, Jane, Sunny, Albus, Victorie and Abby were standing in the door way staring at them. Rose and Scorpius thought of excuses they could use in this situation.
"Are you two on a date" Victorie asked in a teasing sort of tone.
"No of course not, where just trying out for the school play" Rose lied.
"We don't have school plays at Hogwarts, they were banned in 1912, and its 2016 so there hasn't been a school play in 104 years" James stated.
"Ok fine yes we're on a date, until you crashed it" Rose admitted knowing there was no way out.
"Ha, I knew you two would end up together" Victorie teased.
"Just wait until aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron find out" Albus stated.
"No don't tell them" Scorpius pleaded.
"Well you better tell them soon, they'll find out anyways" James stated.
Easter holidays soon arrived and everyone boarded the train. During the entire train ride Victorie and Albus were making Rose and Scorpius kiss until they agreed to tell their parents. Of course kissing each other was bringing them joy not temptation to give in.
They finally agreed to tell their parents it started to become annoying. They set up a supper at a restaurant, with their parents under the impression it was just a supper for friends. Once they had received their meal it was time to break the news.
"So Please don't freak out, Scorpius and I have something to tell you" Rose stated feeling the sweat of her palms.
"Rose and I have been dating for the last month" Scorpius revealed.
"WHAT!" Ron and Draco said standing up.
"Ron calm down" Hermione stated and pulled him down.
"Ok Now let's talk about this" Hermione stated calmly but freaking out on the inside.
"NO THERE'S NO NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT HERMIONE, ROSE YOU ARE NOT DATING THIS BOY" Ron put his foot down.
"AND SCORPUIS YOU'RE NOT DATING A WEASLEY, YOU TWO BREAK UP NOW" Draco stated.
"RON, THIS IS YOUR DAUGHTER, PUT ASIDE YOUR STUPID ACCENT FAMILY FIUED GRUDGE" Hermione shouted causing all eyes to fall on them.
"Mum dad stop" Rose stated.
"I'm on Rose' side" Hugo stated but his comment was ignored.
"We're going home right now young lady" Ron stated and rabbet Rose by her arm.
"Ok Ron she didn't do anything wrong, no need for the young lady and arm grab" Hermione stated as she passed Hugo his coat.
There was no talking their parents into letting them date. So on the train ride back to Hogwarts after the Easter holidays Rose and Scorpius decided to continued dating but pretend they were broken up around their parents. The entire train ride they practiced insulting each other, which was amusing to Albus Victorie and Dominique.
A few days later they were heading to the great hall for supper. They had started their conversation friendly but it took an ugly turn. Rose stated something she should of avoided saying.
"You're parents are so unreasonable, I almost go through to my dad."
"Hey your dad was just as stubborn as my dad was" Scorpius argued.
"Don't talk about my dad like that" Rose stated.
"Me? You started it by talking bad about my dad" Scorpius said.
"Fine if you must win every argument, you can sit by yourself at the Slytherin table, and I'll be with my friends at the good table" Rose stated and marched into the great hall.
Rose and Scorpius didn't talk or make eye contact all through breakfast, class and lunch. After lunch they made up and went for a walk down by the lake. The plan was to study together for their potions quiz.
"Ok so the quiz will be on…why you didn't bring your book" Scorpius asked.
"Opps I guess we'll have to share yours" Rose said and coted closer to him.
"Anyways let's start with…" Scorpius started to say but was interrupted when Rose kissed him.
"What are you doing?"
"What? THE WHOLE IDEA OF COMING DOWN TO THE LAKE WAS SO WE COULD BE ALONE AND KISS" Rose snapped then marched off towards the castle like a drama queen.
"Wait that was the plan? I thought we're actually going to steady" Scorpius shouted but was ignored.
For the next week things didn't improve in their relationship. They were getting into the stupidest arguments. Rose was starting to feel like her parents were right. So one day after dinner she met up with Scorpius by the lake.
"Look things are not going well between us, I think our parents were right" Rose stated.
"I've been thinking the same thing, maybe we just rushed into it too fast" Scorpius suggested.
"Maybe, so should we break up?"
"I think that would be best."
They shook hands then walked back to the castle sad. Rose wasn't talkative over the next few days and kept to herself. Whereas Scorpius spent as much time as possible with his friends to keep his find off her. Hermione was glad it was over but didn't mention it when comforting Rose.
When Ron and Draco found out they got into a huge argument. They both accused the other's kid for breaking their kid's heart. Even though they hadn't approved of the relationship they hated seeing their kids hurt.
"It's all your sons fault, messing with my daughter's feelings" Ron shouted.
"No it's your daughters fault, it was her idea to start a relationship, that's what Scorpius told me" Draco snapped.
"I bet he lied right to your face, you Malfoys are nothing but rubbish and pathetic excuses for wizards" Ron declared.
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK WEASLEY" Draco screamed.
"I WILL NOT MALFOY, KEEP YOUR BLODDY SON AWAY FROM DAUGHTER" Ron screamed back.
"WILL YOU TWO STOP IT, PEOPLE ARE STARING" Harry yelled reminding Ron he was at the park with Harry, Hugo and Lily.
