Next Chapter already! (: Felt like I owed you, you know? But you better review! Haha. Anyway, this is part two.

You're too loud, I'm so hyper
On paper we're a disaster
And I'm driving you crazy
It's my little game

I push you, and you push back
Two opposites so alike that
Everyday's a roller coaster
I'm a bump you'll never get over

This love (love)-hate (hate) relationship
You say you can't handle it
But there's no way to stop this now
So Shut Up and Kiss Me

Kick (kick), scream (scream) call it quits
But your just (just) so (so) full of it
Cuz it's too late, to close your mouth
Shut up and kiss me

So that's my inspiration for the chapter, haha, obviously. Hope you enjoy! Xoxo.

Chapter dedicated to: CatrinaBoFi *coughs* Caitlin and Juicy Carton –ehm- JOSIE –ehm- XOXO.

No I didn't write Harry Potter. (jaw drops open in shock.)

I was overwhelmed with reviews! Thanks so much :) To the following people: LittleMissGiggles'94', Roselyn Weasley, Mrs. Rose Malfoy, callmedaynuhh, Arianna Elizabeth Jackson, Avanell, AmeliaPondiswow, lforever4, and Marciabarcia.

Tom – 10:00pm

After fixing my nose in the bathroom, I return to the ball, looking for a girl, any girl.

Good-looking though – obviously!

I have a plan. Bloody Malfoy, and Weasley - for that matter will pay!

Though I must say, she's a good kisser.

Aha, hot little blonde at three O'clock. Time to turn on the charm.

"Hey Beautiful."

The girl looks up from her drink, surprised. Her surrounding friends begin to giggle.

"What's say you and me go some place else, hmm?"

She smiles genuinely. She must be a sixth year. Oh well, age is just a number!

"I'd love to." She says, raising her eyebrows at me. The girls got game!

"I know just the place!" I say as she takes my arm. Two hours left of the Ball, so why would anyone be going to the Heads Common Room? I'm so glad Weasley already told me the password.

Albus – 10:30pm

I had made it back into the Hall and was heading to my seat. To apologise to Alice, obviously.

I had been scanning the room for a while now, trying to find her, only to find she wasn't alone. She was also heading back to her seat, holding hands with none other than my cousin, Hugo Weasley.

I began to laugh. Yes laugh. In the middle of the dancefloor, in front of countless people.

But I didn't care.

That is such a relief. At least something worked out good. Now all I have to do is figure out exactly how to fix things with Caitlin, and everything will be okay.

I should go tell Rose! That everything is fine with Hugo. . . And then maybe she'll tell Caitlin, and Caitlin will be slightly less hating of me?

I glance back at Hugo and Alice one last time.

I'm just glad they're happy.

Lucky buggers.

Caitlin – 11:00pm

"Have you guys seen Rose anywhere?" I asked the table in general as Fred and I sat down. I was so worn out from dancing.

I heard a chorus of 'no's'. I just really hoped she wasn't off somewhere snogging Davies. I genuinely hated the prick.

In fact I couldn't help but notice a few people were actually missing, like Scorpius and . . . Albus.

"You won't believe what happened between these two, Caitlin." Said Josie, who was practically sitting on Bailey's lap and pointing at Mariah and Josh in a state of laughter.

"What?" I ask, mildly interested.

"They kissed!"

I spat out my butterbeer – oh so lady-like I know!

"No way!" I say, shocked.

They nod.

"It was so awkward," says Mariah, practically rolling with laughter.

"I don't know about you guys," said Josie. "But I'm keen for some more dancing!" She said, pulling me to my feet. I grabbed Fred and she grabbed Bailey.

"I think I'm gonna go get the after Ball stuff ready!" Called Mariah, and Josh signalled that he was too.

But I was gonna keep dancing till the last song. Its my last Ball, my last year. I have to make the most of it! Even if I will be dancing with the wrong guy.

Albus – 11:15pm

"Where the hell is she?" I muttered to myself. I'd been outside on the balcony, and all around the Hall at least five times. Rose was nowhere to be seen. I had to tell her about Hugo, and check she was okay. Scorp isn't exactly the most sensitive guy around, and she had just had an . . . interesting experience.

Then it hit me. Obviously they'd be in the Common Room!

Rounding the corner I went up two flights of stairs, being Scor's best friend, naturally I knew where it was.

I reached the portrait.

Bugger, what was the password?

Crap! Last time I remember it was 'Wingardium Leviosa'. But I doubt it's that now.

What would Rose do? What would Scorp even do?

I felt around in my pocket, and hastily pulled out my wand.

Hmm, well I guess I could just try Alohomora or something . . . That'd unlock it I guess. Otherwise I'll just stand here looking cool till the others come at midnight. 'Cool' being said in a sarcastic tone . . .

Feeling kinda stupid I pointed my wand at the painting, ignoring the weird look I was getting from the short old man in the picture. I shut my eyes slightly, what if it backfired or something?

"Alohomora." I said, opening my eyes hesitantly. And then smiling in shock as it swung open.

"Yer could have just said it laddie, there were no wand a'needed." Said the man in the picture.

"Er, thanks." I say back to the portrait, that was kinda creepy, before Hurrying in.

"Rose?"

I heard a noise like a plunger being pulled from a plug hole. And turned to the couch. Rose's favourite couch, to see Davies and some sixth year girl, making out. Ew!

"What the Hell are you doing here Davies?"

"I think that's rather obvious Potter." He smirked at Sarah, "I got an invite to this event. More than I can say for you of course."

"Listen to me Davies, I don't know what's wrong exactly with than thick skull of yours. But I'm more welcome here then you are any day."

He merely pulled a face at me. "What you gonna do about it?"

"I think you should leave before you have to find out."

He stood to his feet and rolled his eyes.

"Sarah, I think you should leave." Said Tom, rolling up his sleeves. She nodded timidly, making a quick escape. Poor girl.

"Listen mate, I don't want a fight." I say, mainly because he's well, a bit bigger than me, and because I want to give him a good talking to first.

"What do you want then Potter?"

"I-um," I gestured that we sit down, and he shrugged and sat back down on the couch. I swallowed. "You shouldn't treat girls that way Davies. You had no bloody right to do that to my cousin. She just wanted a date to the ball and you clearly abused the privilege of taking her. I'm sure even you know what the word 'stop' means."

"Oh I see what this is. Ickle Rosie's cousin Albie wants to protect her pride and purity."

"Not only Rose's!" I said. The bloody cheek of this guy. "You need to sort yourself out, cause one day," I cleared my throat trying to sound more serious . . . more angry . . . "One day you'll be all alone with no-one-"

He snorted. "That's generally what alone means."

"You'll be all alone!" I continued louder, "and then you'll remember this little conversation we had. When I warned you not to treat girls that way. Then you'll be sorry." I finish my spiel, sounding very serious, and if I may say so wise yet intimidating.

He looked very deep in thought.

"I think you should leave now." I said, continuing my clever yet scary speech. He was right freaked out, I could tell.

Then right on cue I heard the portrait swing open. Somebody who would be able to back me up!

Josh – 11:30pm

"Alohomora." Said Mariah to the portrait and it swung open.

"So we'll get the drinks and nibbles ready, maybe get the fire going, and you can sort the-" Mariah stopped mid sentence.

Albus and Davies were sitting down.

"Oh, hi." Said Mariah, sounding surprised. Then she saw Tom, and smiled. Why did girls fall down at his feet? Can't they see through his ridiculous . . . ridiculousness?

"Albus . . . . Davies." I said, muttering the second half of that sentence and nodding at them awkwardly. Why the hell were they here?

"Josh!" Said Albus looking more pleased to see me then I've ever seen before. "I was just telling Davies here-" But he stopped mid sentence. Nursing an injured leg. Had Davies just kicked him under the coffee table?

"I'll get the music sorted." Said Davies, swanning off in a hurry like the git he is. I looked at Albus. He clearly wasn't happy.

"I'll get the drinks." Said Mariah, leaving the room, slightly confused.

"Josh!" Whispered Albus frantically, beckoning me over to the couch.

What the hell? I made my way through the sea of chairs that were positioned haphazardly around the coffee table. We have a lot of friends, what can I say.

"Er, yeah?" I ask, sitting on the edge of the couch awkwardly. Since Al is in Slytherin, he was kinda the only Weasley/Potter I didn't click with instantly. He's nice, but he's Slytherin. We're polite. So this kind of behaviour is just weird.

"It's Davies." He said sounding really pissed off. "He's a bigger dickhead then I realised. Scor and I followed him and Rose out to the balcony."

I sat up straighter, I didn't like where this was going.

"Anyway you don't need to know the details, but Scorp punched him in the face and-"

"He what?"

"He punched Davies. But mate, listen, we have to get rid of him! Before he turns on the charm with Mariah!"

Oh crap. Was I feeling gratitude towards Malfoy?

I looked around, thankfully Davies was still 'sorting out the music' across the room from us – still in sight.

"What are we gonna do?" I ask. We need to get rid of this Physco.

"Well, I already gave him a talking to."

I snorted, as a nice a guy that Al is, I'm sure Davies paid no attention to that.

"Right," I say. Grabbing my wand. Maybe I could just stun him?

Just as I'm about to do it, I hear somebody coming through the door, and hastily hide it away.

Damn it!

Josie – 12:00am

"We're here!" I say as Bailey, James, Lisa and I make our entrance into the common room.

"Hey!" Said Mariah, bringing out some fizzy drinks of some kind.

But Albus and Josh only nodded awkwardly, come on people! It's a party.

"Great Ball!" I say sitting down, Bailey right next to me.

Albus and Josh are looking at Tom kinda weirdly. It kinda feels like there's some weird tension going on in the room – I swear I saw his wand out, but oh well.

I had the most amazing time with Bailey. Well, we didn't dance as much as I would've liked, and he did seem a bit distant. But it was still an amazing time. Like more than I could've imagined. Yeah, it was really really fun.

"Where's Rose?" I ask suddenly, interrupting some strange hand signals Albus is doing, and a conversation between Mariah and Bailey.

Josh goes to say something, but everyone whips their heads around when we hear laughter. Scorpius and Rose walking into the Common Room laughing. That's like, so weird, cause they so hate each other.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Say both Rose and Scorpius at the same time.

Super weird, I know.

I think Scorpius is talking to Tom, and Rose to . . . Albus?

"Al! You have to get out of here, before Caitlin comes!" Said Rose, in a whiney tone. Honestly, the poor guy. I doubt Caitlin would kick him out tonight of all nights.

"But I've fixed it!" Said Al, jumping up out of his seat to explain it further to Rose.

"Alice and Hugo are a thing now!"

"Al, mate, you should probally just go. Do it for Caitlin." Said Scorpius.

Al shrugged at Scorpius' words and headed for the door, I feel sorry for the guy.

Tom slid into his empty seat, next to Josh.

"You! You don't get away that easy!" Said Scorpius, more angry then I'd seen him. Then again, the only time I've seen him angry is with Rose, which is a different bowl of fish. Or is it kettle of fish?

Tom held his hands up in mock surrender.

"Alright Malfoy. Don't get your knickers in a twist." He stood up to his full height, just a little shorter than Scorpius.

"You have no business being here Davies! I want you to get the hell out before you say goodbye to your facial structure the way it is!"

Tom just laughs, "I'm going Malfoy, I'm going," He paused right before reaching the door. So now I'm like, understanding the tension that was in the room. "Oh and Malfoy?"

"Yes?"

"Don't bother trying anything with Weasley, you're more likely to get action with the Giant Squid."

What a twit! I can't believe he just said that! He's gone down from a ten out of ten to more of an eight . . . in a half . . . He's hot okay?

With that Scorpius launched himself at Tom, having to be held back by James, Bailey and Josh. They let him go as soon as Tom was out of sight. He took a few deep breaths, before turning to us all.

"Everyone have a good time?" He asked, smirking. Even Rose cracked a smile at him.

I'm like, so confused.

Fred – 12:30am

Caitlin and I were actually the last people to leave the Ball. Crazy, right? She sure knows how to dance. Albus is a lucky guy, that's all I have to say.

We finally made it to the Common Room, avoiding Tom Davies who was making a quick exit. Caitlin looked at me questioningly.

Ah well, I didn't mind if he left. He's a twat if I ever saw one.

"What did we miss?" Said Caitlin, as we walked into the room. Saying 'Hi' to everyone, and sitting on two chairs that were a part of the circle around the coffee table.

"Long story." Said Rose, and everyone laughed.

I smiled, she was sitting next to Scorpius. I bloody well knew it! I winked at James, and he raised his eyebrows.

"So like, congratulations on such a good Ball, guys." Said Josie to Rose and Scorp.

"The balcony and outdoor bit was my fave." She continued.

With that Scorpius and Rose burst into a fit of laughter. A little inside joke perhaps? Romance, romance, romance.

Caitlin stifled a yawn beside me, and I saw Lisa whisper something to James. I looked at my watch. James and I actually better get going soon.

"Rose, honey."

"Yeah?" Said Rose, looking to Lisa.

"Its been an . . . eventful night. I'm just going to head off to bed now. And James has to go as well."

"Me too!" I say. And I hear Caitlin mumble an agreement. No wonder she's tired, the amount of dancing we did!

We all stand up to make an exit, Mariah and Josh as well. Rose sees us to the door. We wave and hug, and I shake Scorp's hand.

Then finally we leave.

Honestly, I think I miss Hogwarts too much.

Rose – 12:45am

It's just me, Malfoy, Bailey and Josie left now.

Kind of an awkward group of people.

"What did you think about Amy's dress, Rose? The yellow just made her look like a canary if you ask me. Ugh, and did you see her boyfriend? What's his name. . . Oh, Buggins? I swear he has a bung eye, it's kinda creepy, you never know which way he's looking. And-"

"Ehm." Bailey cleared his throat, thankfully.

I've had a long night, and despite how much I love Josie, I think she's had too much sugar or something.

"Josie, sweetie-"

"Shhh, Bailey. We're talking Ball dresses!"

Malfoy and Bailey shared a look, and went back to their 'Quidditch talk' whilst I heard more about poor Amy Maninn's dress.

"Uhm, Josie." I say, cutting her rant short.

"Yes Rose?"

"I'm really tired, so I think I'll be going to sleep now."

I nod at Malfoy, who follows my lead.

"Me too." He said yawning.

"Oh, well, I suppose we should leave now. Come on Bailey!" She said, pulling him up to his feet. "You really shouldn't talk so much honey, you probally bored poor Scorpius to death."

I tried not to laugh, and Bailey rolled his eyes. They linked arms and finally left.

Leaving Malfoy and I sitting on the couch. In an awkward silence.

"I'll go get us some drinks." He said, probally just to get away from the awkwardness.

When he returned I had got the fire going once again. He handed me a hot chocolate and sat next to me again on the couch. Quite close as well I noticed. I opened my mouth to say something, and naturally spurt out all my thoughts.

"Why are you being so nice to me? And defensive? You don't care about me."

Malfoy just looks at me genuinely and honestly. And I was just expecting an insult in return. A frown appears on his perfect clear skin, I swear he was glowing.

"But, I-I do." He says simply, and slowly. Not breaking eye contact either.

What? He cares about me? Since when?

"What? W-why?"

"You heard me. I do care about you." He says, once again in utter sincerity.

I tilt my head, frowning.

"Why, Malfoy? Why?"

"Because." He states simply, taking a deep breath. Oh, here comes the insult.

"I bloody love you Rose Weasley. It broke my heart when you ignored me after we kissed. I thought you didn't feel the same way and I had stuffed it up, so you acted like it never happened."

I felt my jaw drop open. No. I must have been . . . No, he can't feel the same. He can't. I feel a blush tingle on my cheeks, and my heart begins to accelerate. He cannot have just said he loved me!

"But no! I thought it was a dream." I say, attempting to explain exactly why I had ignored him.

"What?" He says, a frown beginning to appear.

"I thought us kissing was . . . you know, a dream."

"You are such a Physco."

I laugh and look down at my hands, then back up at his warm gray eyes. They were twinkling at me.

"And you're a prat!" I say about to whack his arm, but he grabs my hand affectionately. My breathing hitches. He has such a strange effect on me . . .

"And then I knew you didn't like me when you decided to have that little challenge!"

I never said I didn't like you Malfoy! Think Rose, think!

"But you took Tamlyn!"

He shook his head, "You have no idea how hard it was for me to find someone, someone who would let me win the bet, when I knew the ideal candidate for me to take would be you."

"But! I thought you didn't like me! You've been a, well horrible to me, ever since I can remember!"

"But that only let me get closer to you, Rose-"

He called me Rose, no Weasley involved. He said he loves me.

"Think about it. I know how to really annoy you, what really bugs you! No-one can call you Rosie except Al or your Dad. I know that you hate climbing things, no problem with heights, just getting up there – that's why you have no trouble playing Quidditch. I know that your favourite colour is pink, but you'll never admit it, in case all your male cousins would think you were too girly so you say its blue, which is really stupid if you ask me, there's nothing wrong with being girly. I know you hate tomatoes, but could eat cheesecake everyday and not get sick of it. I know that you're really good at wizard's chess and could cane anyone including your Dad. "

I just looked at him, with my mouth open. How could he know that much about me? That's really quite cute. . .Maybe he's telling the truth?

"How do you know this?"

"There's more, you want to know?"

I nod weakly.

"Albus is your favourite cousin, mainly because of the closeness in your age, but also because he never doubts you. You're hair changed colour in fourth year, and you're freckles faded, now you only have about seven across your nose. You were smart enough to be in Ravenclaw, but you care too much about everyone else and your hearts too big for you to be in that house. You care about House elf rights as well, but thankfully not as much as your mother did. If I ever dated any of your friends, you ignored them until we broke up-"

"Hey! That ones not true!"

I only just realised that he was right. I must've done that subliminally. Damn it! He smirked.

"You always told your Dad you were a cannon's fan, but secretly you support the Holyhead Harpies. You always draw eyes in the corner of your parchment, despite how much it annoys the professors, and you secretly like your hair better curly and wild."

I sat there in shock. He knew me so well. Too well!

"But you hate me!"

"I've never hated you Rose, don't you see? You were different, you fascinated me. If I was nice to you, I would've never interested you, I would've never caught your attention! You were so different and interesting, and what was I? A boring loser Malfoy. We're in different houses, so you would never have noticed me. . .Think about it."

His pale hand was still upon mine. Everything around me was out of focus, except for him.

"That still doesn't explain anything! You were still such a prat to me. I mean lately you've just ignored me all the time!"

"Well I thought the kiss stuffed things up! I thought that you hated me … and wanted to pretend it never happened! It seemed like you to liked to hate me, and if hating me made you happy, then I wanted you to hate me… and it was all because of that kiss…stupid kiss!"

"Remind me of how it went again?" I ask, shyly, moving a little closer.

"Well, I thought it was really good, but you mustn't have, it clearly stuffed it up cause you 'thought it was a dream'. Anyway, we had been fighting, and you were crying then I took your hand and I-"

Scorpius – 1:00am

I had just spilled my heart out to Weasley, and she hadn't killed me yet. It was going well.

"Well, I thought it was really good, but you mustn't have, it clearly stuffed it up cause you 'thought it was a dream'. Anyway, we had been fighting, and you were crying then I took your hand and I-"

"Shut-up and kiss me." Said Rose, her eyes flicking up to meet mine. Her lips were a pretty pink colour, and a few ringlets of her hair had fallen out of the fancy bun and plait thingy.

"I-what?"

"I said," she moved her hand away from mine and brought them both to the side of my face. I blinked several times. "Shut up and kiss me."

Her lips were upon mine, one of her hands threading through my hair. I suddenly found use for my own hands, and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me. Unfortunately we had to breathe, and I pulled away slightly, kissing her cheek, then pressing our foreheads together.

I leaned in to kiss her again, but she put her finger to my mouth, and steadied her breathing.

"You hate confined spaces, and public speaking, despite the fact that its hard to shut you up normally. No-one is allowed to call you Scorpy, ever and once when Violet Parkinson called you that, you dumped her. You hate pumpkin juice, and have a major weakness for Chocolate Mousse."

I moved to kiss her again.

"Wait!" She said, a frown beginning to emerge. "You're favourite colour is actually blue, despite the fact that everything you own is generally black. You asked the sorting hat to put you in Slytherin, because you were worried your father would disown you if you weren't. You're a Cannons fan through and through, despite the fact that they are the most rubbish team to ever walk the earth."

"Rose, I-"

"Hang on! Albus is your favourite Potter/Weasley, and you secretly admire my Uncle Harry. In Fifth Year you had a growth spurt, making you grow exactly a foot taller than me. You never take notes in class but still pass tests. And you try to make your hair look messy like Al's because you've always liked it."

Wow, she really knew me. I smiled not smirked, smiled and so did she.

"Now you know how it feels." She said, her eyelids fluttering down, as she giggled slightly at me.

"How what feels?" I ask confused. I was looking at her lips. I just really wanted to kiss her again. . .

"How it feels to have someone love you back."

"Are you saying that. . ."

"I love you Scorpius Malfoy. Despite the fact that you are the most arrogant prat I've ever met."

I twisted one of the loose tendrils of her hair around my finger. She loves me. She bloody loves me back! I looked at her properly, she looked happy. The happiest I'd seen her in a long time. My heart was still thudding incomprehensibly loud.

"You can kiss me now." She said, and I obliged, leaning back in slightly to recapture her lips again. I would never ever get tired of doing this.

I smiled against her skin, and she began to laugh.

"What is it?" I asked her, slightly confused.

"Promise to tell me the truth?"

"Ah, yes." What more did I have to admit to? I just told her how I felt

"Did you name the Ball after me?"

I shifted on my seat uncomfortably.

"Yes." I mumble, so she wouldn't hear.

"What was that, Scorpius?"

My heart practically stopped. Scorpius.

"Yes Rose. I named it because of you."

"Thank-you." She said leaning closer to me. My arms wrapped around her tighter.

"Your welcome." I said, kissing her forehead.

"What are our families going to say?" She asked.

Her head was on my chest now, we were lying on the couch. I couldn't help but smile. Things have a way of working out.

"I really don't care."

"Yeah." She said shrugging. "Thank God you're a Cannon's fan."

"Right." I say laughing slightly and snuggling against her on the couch.

I love that couch.

END! Omg! I can't believe it, they are finally admitting it all! And I can't believe I took 18 chapters to do it :) haha. And theres only two or so more chapters left after this one! So You better review ! xoxo
