Chapter 2:
Rose's P.O.V:
A week had gone by and our Hogsmeade weekend was tomorrow. I was getting worried because Sadie was getting suspicious as she hadn't heard or seen Scorpius asking Lily to the next Hogsmeade weekend.
FLASHBACK:
"Hey Rose, I haven't seen Scorpius asking Lily to Hogsmeade yet. Unless you told me that because you don't want me to go with him. I could understand that." Sadie said as she walked up to me.
"No that's not want I meant last week." I said.
"Or do you want to go with him. Because you secretly like him? It that what's it?" Sadie said to me.
I turned around. "Yes Sadie that is what it is, I am madly in love with him."
The look on Sadie's face was priceless.
"I'm joking, now I'm going to walk away now as I will be late for Potions." I said as I started to walk away.
END FLASHBACK:
I walked into Potions class at the start of the day dreading the lesson. But at least my partner was Scorpius so I was fine. "Malfoy." I said as I took my seat next to him.
"Weasel." He said back to me.
Professor Slughorn walked into the class. "Today class you will be making draught of the living death with your partner next to you. Weasley, Malfoy behave I don't want you blowing up another potion." Professor Slughorn said.
"What are you waiting for Malfoy?" I asked as I stood up to go get the ingredients. The ingredients we needed are wormwood, asphodel, valerian roots, Sloth brain, and the juice of a sopophorous bean which we could find in the cupboard. I grabbed all the ingredients and brought them back to the table and set them down.
"Well let's begin." I said.
We were up to step 2 when I decided to tell Scorpius. "Pst Scorpius." I whispered. He looked up from the cauldron.
"I have something I need to tell you and you not going to like it." I started.
"You're not pregnant right?" He whispered to me.
"What, no!" I said to screamed to him. I thought for a moment. "Wait, are you really that stupid?" I asked him.
He looked at me confused.
"Okay, moving on. I may have told Sadie Brown that you can't ask her to the next Hogsmeade weekend because you are going to ask Lily Potter." I finished.
Scorpius was obviously holding something as something fallen to the floor smashing in to tiny little pieces.
"Mr Malfoy you will pick that mess up immediately, no magic." Professor Slughorn said.
Scorpius bent down to retrieve the glass he has just broken. I bent down with him to help him. "What do you mean? I don't want a date with your cousin that would just be wrong." Scorpius said to me.
"Well it's either her or Sadie Brown, the girl that's been stalking you for the past three months, choose wisely I hear Sadie comes with a free backrub." I said to him raising my eyebrows slightly and smirking.
"Fine I'll ask your cousin, but if she says no I'm going with no one." Scorpius said. "Or," He began.
"No, don't even think about it." I yelled at him.
LATER THAT DAY
I was walking to Defence Against the Dark Arts later that day when I heard a voice come from around the corner. I slowed down a bit and moved my head around the corner. I saw Scorpius and Lily and they seemed to be talking to each other. I saw Lily's head nod up and down and she gave of a little cry for, joy? They both stood up and Lily jumped on to Scorpius and hugged him. She let go of him and started to walk away around the corner I was staying behind.
I turned around and felt someone bump into me.
"Oh sorry, Rose?" I turned around and realised that Lily had just bumped into me.
I smiled at her and started walking away.
"Rose. Wait, I have the best news to tell you." She yelled from behind me.
I turned around and walked back to where she was standing. "What is it?" I asked her coldly. She noticed and glared at me.
"Well, I thought you'd be happy to know that someone has asked me out. And it was Scorpius Malfoy." She said as she started to walk away. She turned around, "And I said yes." She said before storming off to the Gryffindor Common Room.
I looked down and checked my watch; I was now late for Defence against the Dark Arts. It ended in me SPRINTING to class and opened the door of the classroom in a huff and everyone turned around to look at me. "Sorry Professor." I apologised.
I looked around the classroom to see that my seat was now vacant by Sadie. I looked around to find another seat and saw the only one left was next to Aiden. I sighed in annoyance and went and sat next to him. I got out my quill and parchment and started to write down what the professor was saying. I could feel eyes on me and turned around to see Aiden's eyes weren't on the teacher and the he was looking at me very intensely. "Quit starring, it's rude." I whispered quickly before turning back around to listen to the lesson.
"Okay class now we will pair up and practise the spell, the stunning spell. Which can also be known as?" Professor Lupin asked.
Before I had time to raise my hand he continued.
"Stupefy. I know you guys have already learnt this but we need to spend the first few lessons revising old spells Now be careful, you will be paired with the person sitting next to you. You may begin." Professor Lupin said.
The tables disappeared and there was a big place for us to practise. Aiden and I moved over to a section that nobody was standing at.
Professor Lupin was actually known as Teddy Lupin. When Teddy was in his last year at Hogwarts he didn't really want to leave. He got an 'O' and he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and became the Defence Against the Darks Arts Teacher. He has for the last 5 years.
"Rose are you going to go first or shall I?" Aiden asked.
"Uh you can." I said.
"Okay so I'm going to go now, just make sure you deflected it as..." I stopped listening to what Aiden said after a while. I really need to figure out when I'm going to finish my Ancient Runes essay.
"Rose, Rose, are you listening to me?" Aiden said, it sounded far away. I gave a small nod to him and continued thinking. "Stupefy." I was thrown against the wall and hit my head. I instantly blacked out.
Now that I think about it, I should have been paying attention I'm smarter than that; I could have deflected the spell. But I didn't.
I remember a story my mum once told me about her using that spell on dad when they were in fifth year. They were in a secret club called Dumbledore's Army. It helped them practise for the Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.L. exam. She and dad were practising duelling and she was too fast and stunned him. She kept on laughing as she told the story as dad was sitting next to her scowling.
I slowly opened my eyes and tried to determine my surroundings. I was in the hospital wing. I looked to my left to see Scorpius beside me. "Hey Scorp." I smiled. He nudged his head like he was trying to say something. I looked over to my right to see Aiden sitting there. I immediately jumped off the bed and unfortunately landed on Scorpius' lap.
"Rose I cannot start to tell you how sorry I am." Aiden said. "You must be really afraid of me because you're choosing Scorpius to protect you. Not going to help you with his scrawny little arms." Aiden joked.
Aiden and Scorpius were best friends as well as Albus being in there group. Despite Aiden's dad hating Scorpius' dad they were still best friends, their father's feud made their friendship stronger.
"Hey I beg to differ. I have abs. I am a beater." Scorpius rebutted.
"Yeah, he doesn't seem to have chicken arms." I said while feeling his arms. Scorpius started to stare at me weirdly. "I mean, well, he could have chicken arms, but I wouldn't know." I said quickly.
"Wait a second. Are you two dating?" Aiden said.
I have to hand it to him Aiden is smarter than I thought. Think of something Rose. "No we aren't. I hate Malfoy." I said.
Nice save. My head said.
Well it's better than nothing. I said back.
"Then why are you still sitting in his lap?" Aiden said.
"Because… he has something in his hair." I said while brushing my hand through his hair which was surprisingly really soft. I kept my hand in his hair for a second longer before pulling it away I really didn't want to move from his lap, maybe if I just stayed for a minute longer.
Madame Chang came bursting through the doors with my parents at toe. I rolled my eyes. Figures even if I got a tiny cut on my leg they would be here in the matter of seconds.
"Is this the boy that did this to you?" Dad exclaimed while pointing to Scorpius. "Because I can arrest you I'm an Auror. Why are you on his lap?" Dad continued.
"Uh," I scrambled off his lap and back onto the bed. "Dad, he didn't do this to me. Aiden did." I started. "But it was my fault as I wasn't paying attention." I finished.
"Aiden did this to you, merlin. Are you trying to stick up for the spawn of Malfoy? Has he hypnotized you?" My dad said.
"Dad he did no such thing. He may be mean but he wouldn't put anyone in critical danger; Or in my instance, danger." I retorted. "Dad I'm fine. Can you guys just go?" I asked.
"If it makes you feel any better I can keep her here for the rest of the day." Madame Chang said.
My dad slowly nodded and took hold of mums hand and left the room.
"Mr Wood and Mr Malfoy if you want to be able to make it to your next class on time I would kindly recommend leaving now. As Miss Weasley needs her sleep. You can come here at 7:00 to collect her as she still will be a little unsteady as of her concussion, so which one of you wants to come back for her?" Madame Chang said. I shook my head at Scorpius.
"I would like for Aiden to. As he was the one who did this to me." I said.
I looked over to Aiden who was smiling widely and nodding his head. "Okay now you two bugger off while I get some sleep." I said.
"Miss Weasley, watch that language of yours." Madame Chang said.
"Sorry." I said while I rolled onto my side and fell into a deep sleep.
-
I was shaken awake by Aiden. I opened my eyes and got out of bed. When I got up I was dizzy and not steady and fell just to be caught by Aiden's quick keeper instincts. I grabbed his arm for support. He steadied me and held onto my waist while we walked to the Great Hall. I couldn't help but notice that he had muscles in his arms that were bigger than Scorpius. When we entered the Great Hall everyone stopped to look at us.
Suddenly a first year stood up. "Rose Weasley and Aiden Wood are dating!" He screamed. I looked around and everyone started to murmur. Aiden suddenly let go to me.
"Yes, the rumours are true." Aiden shouted.
That sick twisted guy! I looked over at the Slytherin table where I could see Scorpius nodding in agreement. Great. Now I had to pretend to date Aiden.
Aiden then took my hand and we walked over to the Ravenclaw table together. He helped me into my seat next to Alice, who was on my right and he sat next to me on my left.
I turned around to Alice. She knew that Scorpius and I were secretly dating. As she had once burst into a classroom Scorpius and I kissing in once.
FLASHBACK:
"No we're gonna get caught in here." I said as Scorpius started kissing my neck. We were in the potions classroom me backed up against the wall.
"No we're not. We will be fine." Scorpius said while kissing my neck between each word. "I haven't seen you for a week." He continued.
"Oh, okay then I'll stop being paranoid." I said defensively.
Scorpius moved his mouth back to mine and we started snogging again.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" We both sprung apart instantly. We both turned our heads to see my best friend Alice standing in front of me. Let's just say that she didn't take the news well as she fainted. But she learnt that he was a nice guy and became the only person besides Scorpius and I to know that we were secretly dating.
END FLASHBACK:
Now that I think of it we really should lock the door when we snog. Hm, thought noted.
I leant in closer to her. "I'm sorry Alice. It just that Scorpius asked me to pretend to go out with Aiden as Aiden thinks that I'm going out with Scorpius and we can't make him think that." I whispered.
Alice nodded and went back to eating. I turned around to look at my plate of food and decided I didn't want anything as I wasn't hungry.
"I think I'm going to go to the library." I said to Aiden. I stood up, Aiden grabbed onto my arm suddenly.
"I'll come with you." He said as he stood up himself and guided me out the Great Hall. Usually I would obligate, but I am so dizzy that I'm not sure I could even walk a couple of metres before falling flat on my face.
We walked to the library silently. When we got there we went to my favourite place at the back of the library and sat down.
"That was a conversation starter." Aiden said a he started laughing.
"You idiot." I said as I punched him in the arm. "Now my cousins are going to kill you. And we're not even going out." I continued.
Aiden looked around sheepishly. "I was getting to the next part." He grabbed my hands in his. "Miss Rose Weasley, will you do the honour of escorting me to the Hogsmeade weekend tomorrow, as my date." Aiden finished.
My face was blank with no expression, what was I meant to say? Well Scorpius was going with Lily and she would try to kiss him damn Lily's cuteness.
What I was about to say next I was surprised even came out of my mouth. "Yes. I would love to." I said as I smiled. Aiden smiled himself and leaned in to me. I started to panic. I didn't want to kiss him! I put my hand up to his lips to stop him. "Sorry, I don't kiss before a first date." I said as I got up quickly and lost my footing and feel straight onto Aiden's lap.
We both laughed awkwardly before I got off his lap and he guided me out of the library and up to the Ravenclaw common room. We got to the bottom of the girls stairs where we parted out own ways. I walked up the girl's staircase and looked behind me to see Aiden walking up to the boy's staircase. Was it wrong to say yes to going to Hogsmeade with him? I walked the rest of the way up the staircase and when I got up stairs went straight to bed.
