The Lion and The Gazelle
Scorpius POV
"Did you hear? Rose Weasley has a boyfriend named Quinn."
"I know! Finally! After 7 years of not having a boyfriend."
"Righttt! Little Miss Princess finally has a man. She's so stuck up. Walking around like she owns the place or something."
"I heard he's from Durmstrang because she won't settle for anything less. Her mom dated a guy from Durmstrang too. Guess it runs in the family."
"How weird. I heard he was from Beauxbatons. It would make sense if he was from Durmstrang. All the guys there are stuck up too." Both girls started laughing.
Scorpius rolled his eyes. Girls and their incessant gossip. Have they nothing better to do with their time? He accidentally overheard them while grabbing a book from the back of the library. The only reason why he listened was because he heard Weasley's name.
He was starting to wonder why she wasn't flirting back with him. Usually by his second, or sometimes third, advance girls would be swooning over him. Rose was the exception though. She wasn't swooning over him like all the other girls did. It was starting to drive him a bit crazy at this point. Even if she did have a boyfriend, she should have still been swooning by his flirtations. He decided to step his game up and steal her from this 'Quinn' guy.
What did he have that Scorpius didn't? Was he smarter? Doubt it. Was he as built as Scorpius? Probably. But there is such a thing as having too much muscle. Scorpius had just enough muscle, he liked to believe. Did he have nicer hair? Doubt it. To the naked eye, Scorpius's hair looked dull and flat. When girls touch it though, they told him it felt soft as silk. As for his eyes, Scorpius knew he had better eyes. He had steel grey eyes. He liked his eye color, it differentiated him from every other guy at Hogwarts. Scorpius sat back down with his two best friends, Albus and Azalea.
"Why are we always hanging out in the library? Can't we sit outside near the lake or something?" Albus asked.
"No" Scorpius and Azalea answered at the same time.
Albus put his face in his hands in frustration. "This is so boring."
"Well go sit out by the lakeside. We're not holding you back." Azalea said in a scathing tone.
"Who am I gonna sit with?"
"You're a Potter. Everybody will probably want to sit with you."
"But I want to sit with my best friends."
"Then shut up and do your homework."
Albus made a face at Azalea and mumbled something.
"What was that?"
"Nothing…"
"Yeah that's what I thought."
"That's Azalea for you. Always having the last word."
"Do you have a problem with that? Do something about it or just shut up."
"You're so annoying sometimes."
"Oh I'm annoying?" Azalea deepened her voice. "Let's go sit outside and be like everyone else. Let's be something society wants us to be…"
"Will you two be quiet? You're going to get us kicked out of the library." Azalea was about to say something but Scorpius cut her off. "Again."
Scorpius was the only one Azalea couldn't win against. Mostly because he was more stubborn than her. The way he looked at it, someone needed to keep her in line. All three have been best friends since the end of second year. When they first got to Hogwarts, Scorpius and Azalea mostly kept to themselves. People kept giving them 'Oh look, death eater spawns' looks.
Ever since they started Hogwarts, Azalea got more stubborn. It was understandable though. A lot of kids thought they could push around Scorpius and Azalea because of who their parent's were. Scorpius didn't care, he didn't bother to retaliate. Azalea was always the one who fought back. She wasn't afraid to get physical when it came to fighting. She also had a way with her words, making people cower by verbal abuse. Sometimes she tended to get out of hand though, that's where Scorpius came in. What are best friends for after all?
They grew up together, their fathers being friends. At one point or another, their fathers tried to tell them they were going to be married to each other. Azalea wouldn't stand for it. She argued with her dad for weeks, telling him he's old fashioned and stupid and that no one cares about pure bloods anymore. After her father finally gave up, she started on his dad. Azalea was a force to be reckoned with if ever crossed. Scorpius let her have a row with his father because he didn't believe in arranged marriages either. He wanted to find his own girlfriend to fall in love with. Not someone who was already picked out for him like robots in an assembly line.
It took him 7 years just to notice Rose. He was wondering why he hadn't noticed her before. She was different than other girls. When she was with her friends, it was like they were in their own little world. They didn't seem to care about the rumor mill of Hogwarts. They just have fun, laugh, and be themselves. Ever since Rose's mother became Minister of Magic, she was put on a pedestal and judged by everyone. It appeared that Rose didn't let it bother her though.
What he liked about her the most was that she called him handsome. He's heard it all; hot, yummy, gorgeous, etc. Handsome was new to him though. It made him feel kind of special. Feeling special is what had him remembering Quinn. "Albus, do you know if Rose is dating a guy named Quinn?"
Azalea gave him an odd look but he ignored her and focused on Albus.
"Couldn't tell ya. Ever since we started Hogwarts she always had her own agenda, our family wasn't on that agenda. I always thought we'd stick together, ya know. I haven't heard from any of the other family about her dating a new guy. Why do you ask?"
"Just curious." Scorpius was more than 'just' curious though.
Rose POV
Rose was currently sitting on the ledge of the window looking out into the night. The party in the common room was in just a few hours. Kianna and Mimi were having a shower. It gave Rose a little time to think to herself.
She had thanksgiving on her mind. It was coming up fast. She was not looking forward to it. Ever since her mom became Minister of Magic, she always tried to act like her family was so perfect. Rose wished her mom would just tell people they aren't perfect, that they are like every other family with problems. From her mom telling everyone they were perfect, they were watched that much more closely. People were waiting for them to fall from grace. To Rose, it felt like everyone was watching her more than the others in her family. She didn't want to voice her thoughts though because then people would say she's conceited and worrying about nothing.
She was grateful for having her two friends. If not for them, she would drive herself crazy with her thoughts. With them, it was easy to be herself. She could tell them her world was falling apart and they would keep it to themselves. If she told just one of her cousins, the whole family would find out. That was why in first year she decided not to stick to her family and forge her own path. She wanted to make her own mistakes without her family's judgement or worrying about her wellbeing. She considered herself very fortunate to have two girls like Kianna and Mimi in her life. She didn't know where she would be right now if not for them. It brought tears to her eyes whenever she thought of her two best friends and how they are there for her through anything and everything. Before her friends got out of the shower, she wiped her eyes. It was going to be a fun evening and she didn't want to ruin it by crying.
"What's wrong Rosie?"
Too late. Damn that Mimi for being quick and efficient in the shower.
"I was just thinking of how my life is right now and how fortunate I am to have you both as friends. I don't know what I would do without you two."
"Oh you would just shrivel up and blew away in the wind my dear." Kianna said as she walked out of the bathroom. She winked at Rose. "Now go have a shower so we can get this night started."
Rose nodded and smiled.
She chose black jeans and a dark blue tank top to wear for the party. After dressing, she exited the bathroom to see her friends dancing to music.
"Come dance with us Rose. We all need to just dance away our worries and stress." Rose gave her friend Mimi a huge grin and joined them.
They danced to one song and went about getting ready for the night. Rose blow dried her hair and starting straightening it. Kianna was styling her hair and Mimi was putting make-up on. As Rose was straightening her hair she noticed Kianna's new haircut. "You actually did it? You actually cut your hair like Rihanna's in her umbrella video?"
"Uhh yeah like before school started. You just noticed?"
"Oh my god, I've been so distracted lately. I'm sorry I'm only noticing it now."
"It's fine Rose. As long as you noticed it, I'm happy."
"It looks good on you."
"Thank you" Kianna had a smug smile on her face as she went back to getting ready.
An hour and a half later they were all ready and started walking down the stairs to the common room. It was already packed for the night. There was no music yet, it was mostly just groups of people talking amongst themselves at first. Lily Potter was always the DJ because she was good at picking songs to keep them dancing all night. They decided to grab a drink and blend in with the crowd.
"I just want to get drunk and have fun tonight." Rose shared with her friends.
"Well yeah, it's a party. What are we going to do? Watch everyone else drink and hope we feel drunk along with them?" Kianna replied.
Rose only made a face at Kianna in reply. She mixed some orange juice and vodka, her favorite
"All right everyone we're going to-" Lily stopped because she realized no one was listening to her. She pointed her wand to her throat and said "Sonorus. SHUT THE FUCK UP! Now that I have your attention, we're going to get this night started with a little something from me." Lily graced everyone with a smile, waiting for an applause. When no one clapped, she rolled her eyes and cleared her throat.
"I am a female Weasley, this shit is easy, I wear that new-new, bitch you're so easy, yeah my flow sick, yeah yeah my flow queasy, ha ha they were sleeping on me, Z Z Z Z-Z, this pussy clean this pussy squeaky, that pussy old that pussy creaky, when I'm in the hallway, wizards be like Leely, hi how are you? Yes it's nice to meet me, damn billboards, ha ha! I mean I'm winning but I'm still bored! Yeah I shine, gold cluster, as for your reputation? DEAD ghost buster. That's why you mad, that's why you why you mad mad, that's why you mad, that's why you why mad mad!"
The room erupted in cheers and wolf whistles. "Let's get this fuckin' party STARTEDDDDDD! We're gonna get this party started with a little song from Kesha. This song is for all the people that go all out and don't give a fuck because there's a chance we could…" Lily paused for dramatic effect. "DIE YOUNG!" More cheers and wolf whistles. The middle of the room immediately flooded with writhing and grinding bodies.
Kianna tried to start walking to the dance floor but Rose grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "Yeah, no. I'm not drunk enough yet. Tonight I want you, me and Mimi to dance, just the three of us. It's a best friend's only kind of night."
"Fine…" Kianna whined.
"I don't want to dance." Mimi said quietly.
"You're dancing even if you just stand in the middle of me and Kianna and not move." Mimi sighed and took a drink of her alcohol. "That's my girl." Rose said with a smile.
"Oh look who showed up." Kianna pointed to the doorway. Albus, Azalea and Scorpius just walked into the common room.
"Ugh, seriously?"
"Don't sound so excited, Rose." Kianna gave Rose a your-crush-is-here grin.
Rose only raised her eyebrows in reply.
An hour and a half into the party is when Rose finally felt confident enough, or drunk enough, to dance.
"All right fuckers, this next song I want all the girls to…" Another dramatic pause. "GET IT LOW!"
let me see you
get it low get it low get it low
to the floor
"Oh my god I love this song!" Rose screamed and dragged her friends to the dance floor.
"Oh no…" Mimi moaned.
"Oh yes!" Kianna rebutted.
They missed the first part of the song, so they just danced normal. When the hook came on, Rose went to stand in the back of Mimi while Kianna stayed in the front. As the hook started Rose and Kianna both knelt low to the floor and back up again. They kept going up and down until the hook was over. Mimi only moved a little bit and had a this-is-so-embarrassing look on her face. When the next verse came on, both Kianna and Rose sang along to the one part that said, "Boobs up and my ass out." The hook came on again and they repeated what they did earlier.
"Come on Meemers, you practiced this dance with us. Do the same thing we do on the last chorus."
"No, we practiced while no one was watching, I don't want to do this!"
"Please Meemers, it'd mean a lot to meeee."
"Okay!"
"Yes!"
The last hook came on and all three girls danced. As the hook and the song was coming to an end, the three girls moved off of the dance floor.
"That was so fun! I have to pee." Rose said.
Mimi burst out in giggles.
"You're both drunk already? I only have a buzz!"
"Come with me to go bathroom in our dorm." Rose told her friends.
"Why do girls always go to the bathroom together?" Scorpius asked.
"Uh because her mom went to the bathroom alone one time and got attacked by a troll. Duh!" Mimi answered.
All three friends started laughing and walked away from Scorpius. Rose looked back to see Scorpius checking her out. She blew him a kiss before they ascended the stairs to their dorm.
While Rose went to the bathroom, Mimi and Kianna checked their make-up in the mirror.
"Did you see the way he was looking at you, Rose?" Kianna asked.
"Like you were a gazelle and him a lion." Mimi added.
"I know! He needs to stop looking at me like that. I already said I don't have time for that kind of stuff. It's our last year, I have to focus on my studies. I can't be all, 'I love him!' Ugh. Disgusting."
"It's kind of cute though." Mimi giggled.
"Seriously Mimi? You of all people think it's cute? What would your mom think?"
"Oh shut up. She's not here, is she?"
"Don't jinx yourself. What if they asked her to be a substitute if one of the teachers got sick?"
Mimi got a horrified look on her face. "Don't say that!"
"Hey, it could happen." Rose shrugged her shoulders and bumped Kianna over so she could wash her hands.
They left the bathroom and started descending the stairs to the common room with Rose leading the way. Rose turned her head to look at her friends and started to say, "I'm gonna have a talk wi-"
She didn't get a chance to finish though as she stepped too far forward on a step. She screamed as she started falling face first to the ground but tucked her head in just in time to roll instead. She landed on her butt at the bottom of the stairs, holding her cup high in the air. Everyone in the common room heard her scream and turned to look at her.
The first thing she did was look in her cup. "I saved my drink!" She started giggling.
"That's all you were trying to save?" Kianna said as she helped Rose stand up.
"Uh huh!"
Kianna shook her head.
"What's everyone staring at? Let's fucking partyyyyy!" Everyone cheered and went back to what they were doing before they were distracted.
"All right everyone. This song is for the bartender! What do I want everyone to tell him?" Lily held a hand to her ear.
"Ooh I know! I know!" Rose raised her hand.
"This isn't class, Rose. You can just say it." Kianna said as she put her face down and shook her head again.
"Oh. Awkward. Heh. Buttttt…" Like Lily, she paused for dramatic effect. "TELL THAT BARTENDER MAKE THAT MOTHERFUCKER STRONGER! I WANNA GO ALL NIGHT LONGER!"
"Yes! Rose got it!" She started the song and everyone put their drinks in the air and cheered.
Rose climbed on a lounge chair and started dancing. "Oh my god, what is she doing?" Mimi asked Kianna. "She's wasted" was Kianna's reply.
When the hook started, Rose would raise her drink in the air and sing along.
Tell that bartender make that motherfucker stronger
I wanna go all night longer
A couple rounds going down like water
I wanna go all night longer
Cause I do this every night
"I don't think she's gonna remember this tomorrow." Kianna opined.
"Hey!" Kianna and Mimi jumped, not expecting Rose to say that.
Before they knew it, Rose was walking over to Scorpius.
"Oh shit. This isn't going to be good. She's drunk! We need to stop her before she says something she's going to regret." Mimi said quietly to Kianna.
"Too late."
Rose reached Scorpius and poked him in the chest. "You need to stop with all the looks."
"What are you talking about?" Scorpius asked innocently.
"Oh don't give me that. You've been checking me out and looking at me like I'm some kind of gazelle waiting to be eaten."
Some random person in the crowd said "Giggity."
Kianna and Mimi tried to stifle their laugh in their hands.
"I'm not doing anything of the sort." Scorpius replied.
"Really?" Rose deadpanned. "Then why do I feel like I need a shower?"
At this point, both girls burst out laughing and each hooked an elbow through Rose's arms and pulled her away.
"Excuse me, I am trying to have a conversation with Scorpius."
"You can finish it tomorrow." Mimi said.
"We're going to bed before something else happens that we're gonna regret." Kianna added.
"I'm not tired though." Rose whined.
"Uh huh." Was the only thing her friends said while still dragging her up to the dorm.
Contrary to what she said, Rose passed out as soon as she hit the bed. Mimi pulled off Rose's heels while Kianna positioned her so she wouldn't fall off of the bed in the middle of the night. Mimi put the blanket on her and followed Kianna into the bathroom so they could wash their make-up off and brush their teeth.
