So, here we go again with another Chapter :) I'd just like to thank my friend Lisaw for reading this through for me before I posted it, she's a lush friend like that ;) This one's a bit longer because once I started typing my hands took over and wrote the rest, I hope y'all like it, I do and I know Lisaw does too =D
Read, Reveiw, Enjoy!
Disclaimer, Okay, we all know don't own Harry Potter by now, I'd like to point out in this chapterthat the song although pretty amazing, doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the awesome Mcfly
One For The Radio - McFly
So here's another song for the radio
and here's another line from the heart
so don't pretend you hate us when we sing our songs
'Cause we all look the same in the dark
Well here I am sitting in the head common room on the first Christmas holiday I'm spending at school. I'm only staying here as it's the Yule ball this year. It's not the Triwizard tournament, something my Uncle Harry told me about. The Yule ball is just a ball that the teachers asked us to organise; I personally thought it was a great idea. That was until I found out that instead of going with my best mate and cousin for a fun night out, I have to go to the ball with the head boy. Whilst most girls in my position would have been tripping over their feet and giggling like a hyena at the fact that they got to go to the ball with none other than Scorpius Malfoy, but not me. My best friend and cousin that I mentioned before, Albus Severus Potter, doesn't understand my aversion that certain Slytherin when I have a few other Slytherin friends, him being one of them. I suppose it's just my dad for you. When your father is Ronald Weasley and the other person's father is Draco Malfoy you're always going to have a hatred that has been formed since birth. Albus only gets on with him as Uncle Harry and Mr Malfoy have a sort of bond that was formed when my uncle saved his life.
Suddenly one of my favourite songs came on through the WWN it was old by one of my dad's favourite bands but that didn't bother me, it was still cool. So I was just mess about dancing around the common room when he entered, I didn't hear the door open but I felt his presence. I didn't know why I was so attuned to him; I assume it's all the hate I have built up in me for him... it can't be anything else. I mean, I'm Rose Weasley and he's Scorpius Malfoy, we hate each other, and that's that.
But when I turned to face him, a glare fixed on my face my heart skipped a beat. Scorpius Malfoy was stood in the doorway I assumed he had just been flying as he had a broom in his hand and his shirt was half undone to stop him from overheating. But what surprised me most about Scorpius' appearance was the look on his face. He was looking like he was struck dumb staring right at me. A few seconds passed and he became himself again, his usual smirk appearing on his face and a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
"Nice song, Weasley." He said, his tone practically dripping with sarcasm.
"Thanks, Malfoy" I said as I turned to walk away when I got to the top of the staircase to the dorm rooms I heard him sing the chorus. Right then I knew he liked that song, no way could he know it so well else. I ran back downstairs fuming.
"Malfoy, there's a line from a muggle band my mother introduced me to that you might like. It goes, 'Don't pretend to hate us when you sing along'. I heard you singing" I replied my own evil smirk on my face, Albus always said I could pass for a Slytherin.
"Why should I care about some muggle band that your muggle-born mother listens to?" his reply was right there, damn this boy was fast.
"It's not about the band and it's not about my mother. It's about you being an idiot, what's the point in pretending to hate a band I like? And so what my mother's a muggle-born, I'm not bothered! Another good line is 'cause we all look the same in the dark, meaning that we're all the same really." Throughout this rant I had approached him, and now we were stood so close that our toes were touching and our breath was mingling. I'd never been this close to him without anger fully pulsing through my veins and right at this moment I wasn't angry, and although I knew I should be, I wasn't afraid. Suddenly, Scorpius was leaning down, his face getting dangerously close to mine, and at that moment I knew. I didn't hate Scorpius Malfoy, he got seriously on my nerves sometimes, but our fights were caused by the tension of how much we were fighting the impossible. For the strangest of reasons, Scorpius Malfoy and I had been meant for each other. And so, as Scorpius' face was slowly getting closer to mine, I lifted mine up and our lips connected. I felt a jolt of electricity pass through my lips and go all the way round my body, to my lips and around again. I pulled back and saw that not only had I closed my eyes in the moment so had he.
"How long?" I asked him as our foreheads rested against each other and I realised his arms were around my waist as mine were around his neck.
"How long what?" he asked smiling a genuine smile
"How long have you known that we were mixing up hate and something else?" I was wary to say the word love, but I could see it in his eyes it was love for him.
"You mean, how long have I known that I love you?" he asked, smirking at my astonished expression before going on, "Do you remember the massive fight we had just after the Easter holidays in Fifth year?" I nodded, completely amazed, you mean to tell me that he's been waiting for me to realise for 2 years, he hasn't tried anything, as I thought I realised he hadn't had a girlfriend since about a week after that. "I realised during that argument how beautiful you really are, and since then I have been admiring you from afar, and talking to Albus about you quite a lot."
"So that's why Albus is always trying to get me to be friends with you, well, it appears I have to apologise, I shouldn't have kept you waiting so long Malfoy." I said with a smirk
"I don't mind, I knew you would find out eventually, I liked picking fights with you just to hear your voice or to see if you would realise. So I too should apologise, I shouldn't have made so many fights, maybe then you would have figured out sooner." He replied, shocking me again with his honesty about everything. "Also, thank-you Rose," my name sent shockwaves throughout me, "You might not have noticed as I have tried to stay as fifth year as possible, but you've changed me. As you might of noticed your mother is a muggle-born rather than a mudblood, and so is everybody else, and I resent my grandfather for telling me all these things about mudbloods and bloodtraitors and everything else, thank-you for helping me to see clearly."
I couldn't think of a reply to that so I did all I could think to do, I pulled his face down to mine and kissed him with a passion I didn't know I had within me, my fingers twisting in his ice-blonde hair.
Okay, so here I am again sat on the sofa in the heads common room, only quite a few things have changed in the last couple of hours, I have a boyfriend, he's a Slytherin, and he's been my enemy for nearly seven years, it's strange sometimes how things plan out. Scorpius has gone off somewhere, probably to go tell that darkish cousin of mine that he finally got the girl. Another thing strange, my cousin, my best friend, was also his, how could I have not noticed it before? Oh well, looks like it's time for another golden trio to be walking the hall of Hogwarts, even if it is for two terms now. I must write to mum too, she would want to know. Plus, she'd be able to talk some sense into dad, she might even tell him what I told Scorpius earlier about us all looking the same in the dark, maybe I'll suggest it. Another thing that had changed was my plans for the Yule Ball, I was now looking forward to it, every second of it, I would be dancing with Scorpius or messing around with Albus, Alice Zabini and Scorpius. Scorpius walks in again and I don't hear him as I'm deep in thought but once again sense him, but now I know why. He comes and sits next to me and I lean into him and kiss him and wish I could stay here forever.
