There were twenty minutes before the Charms exam was supposed to start, and Rose had assumed that she would be the first one to arrive. However, as soon as she got there, Scorpius was already sitting on the bench outside the classroom, almost as though he was waiting for her to arrive.
She frowned, and sat down next to him. "I hate you."
He didn't seem to notice that she had said anything at all, and instead began examining his nails.
"I hate you for getting here first."
Nothing.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" she finally asked after a few moments of silence.
"…Because you seem to be perfectly capable of having a conversation all on your own, you really don't seem like you need me to interrupt," Scorpius said dryly.
Sometimes she really did hate him.
