The sun shone brightly through the windows in the third year Ravenclaw boys dorm. Unfortunately for Scorpius Malfoy, he wasn't awoken by the pleasant chirping of the birds, or the light say of sun light falling over his perfect face. No, he was awoken by Albus Severus Potter hitting him with a stack of work in the chest.
"Here. I did my part of the deal, now you do yours." Albus told him.
"You did? When? What did she say?" Scorpius asked, suddenly wide awake.
"Calm down, Scorp. Enough with the questions. I didn't get a definite answer from her. Don't get discouraged, though, because she was actually half asleep when I asked her. I think my words were kind of rushed too. I think your name also sounded a lot like 'Scamander' to her, and you know how much Rosie hates those guys." Al reassured him. Scorpius wasn't listening, though. He lifted himself out of bed and got ready for the long weekend. It was christmas break after all! What was so good about christmas break, you may ask. Well, it just so happens that both Scorpius and Rose were staying at Hogwarts for Christmas this break. Scorp's parents always went to France to visit Astoria's mother, and Rosie's parents were busy at work, so Rosie and little Hugh would've been bored anyway.
"You do realize that if I know my cousin, which I do, she's probably asleep, and will be asleep for the next four hours? It's only seven in the morning! Albus shouted from the dorm. It was too late, Scorp already had on his shirt and pants and was running down the steps as Al called down to him.
Rosie woke up to her cousin Dominique poking her in the forehead. "Rosie. Rosie. Rosie. Rosie. Rosie. Rosie." Dom said over and over. Finally, Rose opened her eyes and punched her cousin straight in the arm. "Ouch! Isn't someone being a bit Slythering today..." Dominique muttered under her breath.
The news that Albus told her last night was fresh in her mind, she'd thought about it all night. One of the Scamander jerks fancied her. Which was beyond perfect. Not. It wasn't that they weren't cute, they were, but Rosie fancied someone else. Some other blonde haired, grey eyed Ravenclaw with dimples and amazing muscles from playing Quidditch had her eye at the moment.
"Hey Rosie." A sleepy Hugo greeted her, coming into the Ravenclaw common room from the Hufflepuff one.
"Hey Hugh." Rosie said. She gave her brother a little hug and Hugh turned to leave.
"Oh, Rosie, I forgot. On my way here I ran into... actually they told me not to say. But anyway, they want you to meet them in the Quidditch field. Don't forget to wear something warm." Hugh told her.
Who could want to meet her in the Quidditch field? It could only be one of two people. It was probably either Lorcan or Lysander Scamander. Or, if she was really unlucky, it was both. She watched as Hugo trudged down the hallway back to his common room. She probably should go to the Quidditch field. If she didn't show up, they might think that Hugo didn't give her the message. It was probably better to go tell them that she wasn't interested anyway.
"Okay, Al. So she's going to come through this way. That's the way Rosie always comes to Quidditch practice." Scorpius told his best friend.
"...How do you know the way my cousin comes to Quidditch practice?" Al asks, creeped out a bit.
"I'm a Ravenclaw, and so is she. I have a habit of noticing things and she has a habit of making a schedule." He tells Al. Al rolls his eyes ans get's into his position.
Rosie was going to walk on to the Quidditch field by the storage shed, where she keeps her broom. Then, she's going to go into the shed to make sure her broom is still okay, out of habit, of course. That's when Al will jump out from behind the shed while Rosie's in there and lock her in. Then Scorp's going to swoop in and save the day. Although, it probably would've been easier to just talk to her about it, he was sure this plan was going to work.
Things started going wrong from the start in Scorpius Malfoy's plan. First, Rosie didn't come in from the way Scorpius intended her to. Then, thinking that Rosie went into the shed, Al closed it, exposing himself to Rose. That's when Al's face got really red and he started stuttering. Then Rose started asking tons of questions and Scorpius finally gave up.
"I'm just gonna... yeah." Al stammered, turning away and running back into the school. The ground was still icy from the first snow, so he slipped a couple of times.
"Okay... So? Why am I here?" Rose asked. "I thought I was supposed to be meeting one of the Scamander twins. Or worse, both." Rosie joked.
"Scamander twins?" Scorpius asked. Had Rose agreed to meet Lorcan or Lysander here instead of him?
"Yeah, Al told me a Scamander fancied me last night when I was half asleep. Then this morning Hugh told me a 'mysterious stranger' asked me to meet them out here... on the Quidditch field." She gestured to the snow-covered field.
"Scamander twins... No... Rosie Al told you last night that... that I fancied you. I told your little brother this morning to have you meet me out here, but not to give my name away." he confessed.
"So... it was you, then?" Rosie asked, a smile spreading across her face.
"Yeah. It was." He admitted.
"Good. It was just what I was hoping for." Rosie said, enveloping him in a hug.
How was it? Review for meeeeeeeeeeee!
