I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
-And I love Her- The Beatles
Chapter 22
Rose's POV
Why do all of our professors assign homework at the same time? I mean, seriously, I have 5 essays this weekend! All due on Monday! And they're all supposed to be longer than 4 feet! I truly believe the professors must hate us. This work is truly impossible. And this is coming from the daughter of Hermione Granger.
I'm pouring over about fifty books at my table at the library (yes, I have my own table—I'm the daughter of Hermione Granger!) when suddenly everything goes black. Well, my eyes are being covered by a pair of hands so it's not totally black…I can still see some light.
"Al?" I ask but I don't think it's Al who's preventing me from studying, the hands aren't calloused enough.
No answer.
"Z?" I ask again, but I know it's not Z she's way too impatient and would have taken her hands away already. Plus, her hands always smell like coconut and these were not coconut-smelling hands.
There's still no answer from my mysterious captor.
"Oh!" I start giggling "Liam! I should have known it was you!"
The hands stay where they are but his mouth grazes my ear and he whispers "That's not even funny, Rose" and then places a quick peck on my cheek, and removes his hands.
I beam at him, "Couldn't resist, Scor".
He rolls his eyes at me and I notice he's still standing.
"Sit down."
"Can't, sorry, I have to meet Lila-Anne so we can study."
I frown.
"Oh, well ok then."
"What? Can't a guy quickly talk to his girlfriend, just because he misses her?"
"Not unless he comes bearing presents and kisses!"
He looks at me, raises one eyebrow thoughtfully and sits down the seat next to mine.
He is just so damn attractive. Blonde hair that is long enough to reach the top of his eyebrows but not long enough to go into his beautiful grey eyes—the same grey eyes that are piercing me right now. Merlin, I just want to run my fingers through his hair, feel his hard abs, snog him senseless right here, right now.
It doesn't help that he's decided to put his hand on my thigh—the same hand that is slowly moving up to…I blush- the deep-red oh-my-merlin-everyone-in-this-freaking-library-knows-that-my-boyfriend-is-feeling-me-up-right-now blush.
"Scor!" I admonish. "We're in the library!."
He smirks at me and whispers in my ear
"We're sneaking into Hogsmead tonight; I'll pick you up at the bottom of the Girls' Dormitories at 7. Sharp." He looks at me pointedly.
I'd been late for our last two dates.
"But Scor! I have 5 essays to do, and only 3 of them barely started-mmpfh".
And then we were snogging. Oh my were we snogging and his lips felt so good against mine and then-
"I really have to met Lila Anne, I'm already 10 minutes late and she's going to kill me. For a third year she's very determined-almost as determined as you were." And then he winks at me and walks away.
Stupid Bastard. Making me forgo my studying plans because he thinks he's really important.
He is that important.
So that's why I'm descending the stairs now and I'm perfectly happy to see my godly hunk of a boyfriend waiting for me at the bottom.
"Come on, Al lent me the Invisibility Cloak"
He takes my hand and we throw the invisibility cloak over ourselves. But, as soon as we reach a deserted corridor, Scor grabs me by the waist, spins me around and backs me into a wall.
Just as our snogging starts heating up, I hear footsteps.
I quickly pull away from Scor and motion to him to be quiet so I can listen.
Now, we hear the whistling.
Uncle Neville!
But there's no time to me so we huddle under the Invisibility Cloak and press ourselves against the wall, hoping for Professor Longbottom to pass us.
He's humming as he walks by, but (luckily) he doesn't see us. Scor starts to move but I motion for him to stay quiet and not move, just until Professor Longbottom's footsteps faded.
"Come on," I whisper quickly "let's get out of here before another teacher comes along patrolling!"
We run quietly (well as quietly as one can when nearly sprinting) and soon we're on our way to Hogsmead.
"So, where are we going" I ask.
"Hogsmead…"
"Well, I know that! I mean where in Hogsmead are we going?"
"I was thinking Madame Puddifoots…."
"Haha. Hahahaha. No."
He smirks at me and wraps an arm around my waist.
"Well…I actually happen to have some Butterbeer with me…"
"I never say know to Butterbeer!
"And this blanket…"
I look up and him questioningly.
"Shrieking Shack?"
"Ok"
We spent the rest of the night out there, snogging and talking and everything in between.
Then, suddenly, the whole night changes.
"Rose?"
"Mhmm" I sigh, my head lying on his chest.
"I love you."
A/N: Ok, I officially suck. The chapter is late and it's not even that great! I just really wasn't feeling this chapter and it was really hard for me to write. Also, I think that this story is winding down. I just think that I've written enough about these characters at this stage in their life. BUT I already have plans for a sequel. Tell me what you think! (but I will probably post it anways, regardless)
