Chapter Nine:
When I woke up in the morning it was still dark. I woke up, because I heard something crash. I sat up and pointed my wand into the dark.
"Lumos." I whispered, the wand lit up. I blinked, an owl was sitting on the edge of my bed. It's eyes stared at me. It hooted. I looked at it's leg, a letter was tied to it.
"Thanks." I said and took the letter in my hand. The owl hooted and took off again.
I stared at the letter. There was only one person this could be from at this time of day. And to be truthful, I had no desire to talk to him.
I opened the letter anyway.
ROSE! Please, please don't throw this away!
I looked at the letter you threw at me.
I didn't write that! Mary did, well I wrote the words, she used a spell and moved them around to look like that.
I'm so sorry!
Please, please forgive me Rosie.
I still love you. I understand why you did what you did.
If you forgive me, please meet me in the Room of Requirement right after Runes.
-S.M.
I stared, could Scorpius be telling the truth?
"NO! Of course not! He has lied before why trust him now, you'll walk into the Room of Requirement to find him snogging Mary!"
"That's not true! He said he still loved you!"
"Liar!"
"NOT!"
"Then go! And have your heart break more! And even if you got back together, what are you going to do? Secret date? That is getting old, what are you going to do when your out of Hogwarts? Secret marry Scorpius? Uh huh."
I bit my lip, this was hard. What if Scorpius was telling the truth and I didn't show up? He think that I hated him! But if he was lying I was walking right into a trap.
"Ugh!" I moaned.
This wasn't going well for me.
Soon the sun rose, and I stared getting dressed. The whole time the thought of Scorpius was eating away at my insides.
Was he being truthful or not, was my main thought.
"BOYS!" I hissed, as I headed down to the Gryffindor common room.
"Morning Rose!" Hugo said.
"Hey Hugo." I said ruffling his hair.
"ROSE!" He complained.
I laughed and turned to Lily, "Hey Lil, you want to go get some breakfast with me?"
Lily shut the book she was holding and stood up. "Sure."
"Hey! Can I come too." Albus said.
"Sure, whatever." I said.
So together, Albus, Lily, and I went down to the Great Hall.
"You heard James is having us do double practice tonight right?" Albus asked.
"What? That's crazy, we are really good." I moaned.
"I know I tried to tell him that and he said you guys need help riding your new brooms." Albus said.
I rolled my eyes, "That broom moves to my thoughts, as long as I don't think CRASH I think I'll be ok!"
"Yeah, but James is insane." Lily said.
Albus and I nodded.
As we entered the Great Hall, I glanced over at the Slytherin table. Scorpius was sitting there, his arms crossed over his chest. Mary was beside him, saying something and throwing her hands into the air. Scorpius was shaking his head.
"What are you looking at?" Lily asked.
"Nothing." I said, as I sat down.
"Hi Rose!" A voice chimed to my left, I turned.
Elliot's face was right in front of mine.
"Hello Elliot." I said, gripping my hands together on my lap. I really didn't want to deal with him right now.
"Good morning!" Elliot smiled.
I turned to my bowl. "What's so good about?" I muttered.
Elliot laughed, "Oh Rose your so funny."
Elliot then turned to Albus. I rolled my eyes.
After breakfast, I headed to Potions. All Potions I couldn't focus. At all. I could feel Scorpius' eyes burning into the back of my head.
"Rose, are you ok?" Albus asked.
"What? Oh yeah, I'm fine." I said sliding lower in my seat.
"Are you hiding from someone?"
"Nope." I said, and that was the truth Scorpius knew I was sitting there.
After class, I jumped up like I was on fire. I ran, hoping Scorpius couldn't catch up.
He didn't. I sighed as I slid into my next class, but after this and lunch was Runes!
I was so afraid, I had to decide.
"What if he breaks you heart more?"
"You'll die."
"What if he is telling the truth?"
"You can have your boyfriend! Your DREAM boyfriend!"
Why was life so complex? I slammed my head on the desk and sighed.
