Potions would have been boring had Scorpius decided to sit next to Al.
Much to Rose's surprise Scorpius had plonked his bag down next to her and shot her a lazy smile, she stared back blankly, no one ever sat next to her in potions, they said she went a little crazy as she either demanded they do nothing or the amount of pressure she put on them was unbearable that half way in to the lesson they moved away. He stared back at her a little confused.
"Rose? Rosie? You there? Hello? You want me to leave?" Scorpius asked waving one of his pale hands in front of her face. She blinked, and then blushed.
"Don't you normally sit with Al?" she asked quietly whist sitting down.
"Umm, yeh, but I felt like a change" he answered a little shocked at Rose's reaction "I'll leave now if you want" His voice was small and sounded a little hurt, he grabbed his bag and started towards Al's desk.
"No! Wait I meant….umm…Merlin, sorry it's just no one ever sits with me in potions" Rose exclaimed but her words became soft "thanks, I would really like it if you stayed". She looked down and blushed even more, damn she thought he keeps making me blush.
Scorpius laughed at her, then patted her head patronisingly and said
"Ahh, poor Rose. I am here now so you're not so lonely" She glared at him, then turned to the front of the room as Professor Brookes introduced the potion they would be making in pairs that lesson.
The potions room was almost full of students when Scorpius walked in with Albus, he hated it down here, it always smelled weird and you couldn't see the sun down here either. He sighed and not for the first time wished the Slytherin common room was up in one of the towers.
"Scor, you coming sit with us?" Al asked as he placed his bag down on a desk next to two girls both with long bottle blonde hair and enough makeup on their face to start their own pharmacy shop. These kinds of girls always followed him and Al around like puppies, and though it was always a boost for his confidence, it was kind of annoying.
"Umm" he muttered whilst looking around franticly for somewhere else to sit, his eyes settled on Rose in the far corner, no one sat next to her potions, they all said she was bit crazy and stuck up. Man he thought these kids are mean; Rose is okay if you get to know her. "I think I'll sit next to Rose today thanks, have a little change, and leave both of these lovely ladies with you Al" He winked at the girls who giggled, then turned to Al to whisper "Have fun with the plastic raptors"
Scorpius dodged the grasp of another girl and ignored them when they invited him to join their group, and walked behind Rose's desk. She didn't see him at first, so he plonked his bag down loudly.
"Uh" Rose breathed, and then snapped her head around, she looked shocked probably because no one ever sat next to her he thought. Part of his mind that was there to point out possible candidates to be his girlfriend, suddenly kicked in to life, and planted a small thought into his brain. She looks so cute when she's shocked, her eyes go wide and you can practically see her soul in those blue depths. He blinked and realised she hadn't moved yet, this thought confused him, but he pushed it aside and tried to forget what had happened.
Rose came out of Potions happier than she had ever been after the lesson before, Scorpius had proved to be a good partner though a little distant, and he hadn't made her angry except once when he put some of the ingredients in her hair, but she had got him back, and now he was sporting a very fetching shade of purple on his right eyebrow.
She was still happy when she climbed into bed that night.
