Chapter 6 – She is Jealous of me

"Rose", came a call in the corridor. I turned around, expecting it to be one of my friends, but I see Tom Fino looking at me.

"Hi" I say, confused to why he was talking to me.

"Hi, um… the thing is…" He started, when suddenly his friends from Gryffindor called him over. "Sorry" he muttered before walking away to see what his friends wanted.

I walked in the opposite directions, even more confused. I wished I could talk to lily, she knew so much about this sort of thing. As I walked, I literally bumped into Lucy.

"Hi Rose, are you ok?"She asked smiling at me.

"Yeah I am fine thanks, I have to go, I will see you in practice tonight, bye" I say leaving her looking bewildered.

I ran as fast as I could past everybody before summoning my broomstick and jumping on it, it twisted and turned through the air and I felt calm before landing on the ground quite far away on Hogwarts grounds in the middle of the forbidden forest. This part of the forest is my thinking place, nobody knows about it, but I keep it lovely and tidy, on mowed grass, it is a clearing with a few daisies's growing up. I jumped off my broomstick and pulled out my wand from the inside of my knee-length boots. I lay down on the grass and turned a few twigs and leaves into food. A spell my mother had made.

After the great war at Hogwarts my mother had set to work creating spells to make food because she, dad and uncle Harry had spent a while camping and not having food, so she set to work making spells like that as she couldn't cope with dad ever being hungry as he is apparently grumpy.

Most people think my life is perfect, I am good at magic, can ride a broomstick and I am good looking, you can be all that but still be miserable because all that is good, but I would give it all up to have my friends back, like Ellie, Lily, and their friends, now all I have been seeing is them hanging out with this girl who I have no idea who she is.

I sighed and picked up the tomato, cheese and bread I had just turned the leaves into and used another spell to turn it into a sandwich. I ate slowly before letting out a breath and flying back to my dorm window which was open so I flew right through it.

I went quickly down the stairs of the Ravenclaw tower, as I walked fast in my cute boots skinny jeans and top I knew what I had to do, though Jack and I were close, especially since Ellie and him had stopped being friends, though I feel he wants to go further than I do, we are just friends – simple as.

I crashed into him suddenly I get nervous, what am I going to say?

"Look Jack, we need to talk" I start, he nods, and smiles, oh no. "We are just friends, right?" I ask, he nods and smiles some more, "and we going out or anything" he takes in a deep breath, oh this is going to hurt him, "will never happen, it will be too weird and completely unnecessary. Ok?" I ask and it is my turn to plaster a fake smile on my face, oh I feel terrible.

I walk away slowly and sit down to read a book.

"Rose" Belle calls, I look up and smile.

"Yes Belle, what's up?" She smiles and comes and sits down on the opposite armchair. Her little followers sit around her, they follow her every move, and oh I would hate to be them.

"Good with hitting it hard with Jack, Ruby here is after him," Belle sniggers nudging a blushing Ruby.

"I didn't mean to," I say, oh Merlin, I am mean.

"Don't be silly Rose, you are really turning into one of us," she grins.

"No offence Belle, but I don't want to be one of you guys, you seem very mean to guys and only caring about makeup and hair products, I love you Belle, you know that, but I would rather be me, then you, or your follower." I smile, seeing their faces drop.

"Well, Rose!" starts Lucy, but Belle stops her.

"I'm proud of you Rose, see you at dinner" Said Belle, she gets up, with her little followers and walks out of the room, with all the guys eyes on her. I smile; I do love Belle a lot.

I look around my common room, it is big and has changed a lot since Belle and her friends re-decorated it. They have made look more like a disco, with a 'chill-out' area and a big dance floor, music, that can be only heard by those dancing and their voices being silence to those studying or just relaxing by the fire, I am sitting on one of the big blue couches by the gorgeous roaring fire.

I smile and read my book for a bit, I get very engrossed in the book and didn't realise it was dinner time. A small first year woke me up from the book, by tugging on my sleeve of my gorgeous pink top, I smile at the small child and began to hurry down the steps, sending the book up to my bedroom.

I walk down the few steps that led down to the Hall and walked to my table. I sit with Ellie, she loved my new look and I had told her everything about the Tom situation, me and Ellie's Tom are friends now and we began to chat about random stuff. When I saw Ellie glaring at something behind me, I turn round to see Lily, the idiot who hurt me – ha, me and Scorpius! I put on my best evil eyes as she sat down, she looked flustered and angry her hair looking not very nice, like she has been stressed, come to think of it, she has been getting bad grades, probably due to her not cheating off my page!

"Hi," Lily said, forcing a smile, yes Lily, get taken down by my glare…

"Do you hear something, Rose? I don't," said Ellie glaring at her, I chuckled under my breath.

"I get it. I acted like a jerk – no, I was a jerk. I didn't listen to you guys because I didn't want to believe that Scorpius was right and that was wrong. I guess I knew Hugo was wrong all along," I began. "I just wanted to believe Hugo because he's family. I stick by my family even when they're wrong but I should have listened to the truth. And so for that, I'm… I'm sorry."

Wow, Merlin knows she is sorry, I really have never seen Lily get off her high horse to say sorry, not properly, anyway.

"I forgive you." I say, as she closes her eyes.

"What?" She opened her gorgeous eyes.

"I forgive you too, I suppose." Ellie said with a sigh.

"I hate arguing with you," I say, and I hug her, she is sorry and I love her, simple as, if you love someone you forgive them, unless they are guys of course!

"I'm sorry too," Ellie said looking down. "I didn't listen to Hugo's side of the story like you didn't listen to Scorpius'. Me and Lily smile.

"We're idiots aren't we?" Lily exclaimed grinning.

"Well, everyone can be a bit of an idiot sometimes," I said, smiling happily.

"I talked to Scorpius about it and –"

"You talked to Scorpius?" What? Lily, talk to Scorpius!

"Well if you two are going to be friends I've got to be able to stay in the same room as him without arguing." She looks sheepish and I smile the biggest smile I could manage.

"I don't know about you guys but I'm so sleepy, all this arguing makes me tired. I'll see you tomorrow." She muttered.

"Goodnight," Me and Ellie say, I grab a biscuit from the table and walk back to my dorm, I missed Lily so much and now, I am happy!

That morning I woke up normal time, but I couldn't get up, I was too tired, so I got up later – with everyone else. It felt good, but I won't do it again, I didn't get time to practice Quidditch early in the morning. As I walk into the Great Hall, I'm pulled aside by none-other than Scorpius Malfoy, I hope no one can see us; I look around, all clear.

"Don't worry about it" He whispers.

"Why are we whispering?" I reply.

"Because, I was wondering, whether you would go out with me this Saturday…" My first reaction was Merlin, he is being delusional, and next I thought maybe he was making fun of me, but then I saw his eyes, and I knew, I knew he meant it.

"Sure" I whisper, he smiled, and kissed my hand goodbye, before walking towards the library. I smile to myself, ooh, I have a date this Saturday, and I haven't been on a date for a while…well ever!

_X_

"And then he just asked me, and at first I didn't think he was being honest but then I looked in his eyes and I knew, so I said yes" I finish my story to Ellie, Lily, Belle and the other girls.

"Ooooh, that is just so romantic" Belle squealed, her friends around her squealed too. I roll my eyes and start to eat.

"I don't mind Rose, I guess you are better than Hannah" I look behind Ellie, at a girl with tears rolling out of her eyes, Merlin she is so pathetic.

"What about you Lily, what do you think?" Lily though, was in another world, she looked stressed out, like I used to look when I was revising so hard on Potions. "Lily?" I say again, touching her hand which was she was resting her chin on.

"Yeah" She said looking startled.

"What do you think of me and Scorpius going on a date?"I repeat.

"Oh, um good, yeah good" she said before drifting off again, I roll my eyes before getting up.

"Bye Guys" The others wave and I walk to my common room. I could tell something about lily, I think she was jealous, maybe jealous of me getting a date, and she hadn't been on one in a while, this is a first though, all I know is that she is jealous of me.
