Okay – it's been a long time, but I have a plan for this story, I hope you like it!
(: Xx
Albus's perspective first – then Scorpius's
Scor and I were meeting in the bathroom, right before dinner – to, you know, turn into each other.
Personally I'm, well I'm over the moon actually, Pammy is so fine! I don't know why Scor hasn't grasped this opportunity! He pretty much never dates anyone, which is stupid because he's always getting asked out. I mean always!
But there's no need for me to be jealous any longer, because technically I will be getting the attention in about ten minutes.
Lucky me.
"Bloody Hell!"
I looked up to see the very guy I was talking about.
"What is it Scor?"
"I'm going to kill you!" he said, but I could tell he was joking.
"What now?" I asked rolling my eyes at the drama queen.
"Pamela – she winked at me. I only just escaped!"
I smacked my head. "Great – now I'm going to have to think of some excuse as to why I ran off!"
"No you're not." He said angrily. "You're going to tell her it's over between you two, and then we're never swapping again."
"What?" I asked. "That' hardly fair Scor I-" But I was interrupted by my own stomach rumbling.
I needed food.
"Look lets just get this over with shall we?" He asked grumpily, as I pulled out the Polyjuice potion, and we put our hair in it. /
By the time desert had come out nothing eventful had happened – except Zabini asking what was wrong with Scor (me) because he wasn't eating very much.
But then I saw Pamela heading towards us. Why did she have to be so pretty?
"Hello Scorpy." She said sliding onto the seat beside me – and the real Scorpius choked on his treacle tart.
She looked at him briefly frowning before turning her attention back to me.
"So when's our date going to be?" she asked leaning closer to me, "Cause your making me kind of desperate. . ."
"I-uh, I-" was all I managed to get out. I love this girl!
"We are not dating!" burst out Scorpius stupidly, and Pammy looked at me confused. Gah – I forgot about Scorpius's plan to bring me down. Well – technically not bring me down.
"Who is Potter talking to?" she asked.
"No-one-" I began rolling my eyes when he interrupted.
"I'm talking to-"
But thankfully a distraction came in the form of Rose, tapping him on the shoulder as he stopped talking.
"Come on Al - we better get going." She said and Scorpius stood up – giving me the evils as he followed Rose.
I smirked to myself. Yup – looking like Scorpius is having that effect on me.
"I was thinking that we should go to Hogsmeade this weekend." I began as she smiled and nodded. "Were would you like to go? Madam Puddifoots?"
Albus Potter was dead. Dead. And Weasley had chosen the opportune moment to whisk me away. Not.
"Where are we going We-Rose?"
She cast a strange sideways glance at me and I frowned.
"Where we always go?" she suggested waving her hand sporadically.
She made a sharp left and I ran slightly to keep up. How is she so fast?
Then I saw the St Barnabas tapestry and I knew were we were going – it made sense I guess since it was too late to go outside or anything.
A door appeared and I opened it letting her in first.
She frowned. "That was unexpected." She commented – and I looked around the room as I shut the door.
It looked like an ordinary lounge a couch – some arm chairs and a coffee table.
"Well sit down then Al!" she said sitting on the couch – I opted for the armchair closest to her.
She looked at me strangely.
"So – er – Rose," I said clapping my hands together. "How've you been?"
She took one glance at me and burst out laughing, "Are you okay Al?"
"Yeah – I'm fine." I say reassuringly.
"Er – okay then. Well I actually wanted to talk you about – uh-" she looked at me unsurely. "Promise you won't laugh Al?"
"Uh – I promise."
"Okay," she said smiling, "well its about this guy – Callum. He's my friend but I think he might like me."
I snorted.
She looked hurt, so thinking quickly I opened my mouth. "I was just laughing at the fact that you think he might like you. He obviously fancies the pants off you."
"How do you know?"
"I – uh – Scorpius told me."
"As if anything he says has any truth behind it."
"Hey! – ah, he's really good with that kind of stuff though Rose."
"Well that's not the problem. I just want to make him stop liking me – got any ideas?"
"Just be yourself."
"What?"
"I said – ruin all his stuff."
She sat back as I breathed I sigh of relief. This was just seriously awkward. There is no way I want to do this again. Too complicated.
"Well that's a stupid idea. What do you reckon I should get Hugo for his birthday?"
"Uhm - something to do with Quidditch?"
"Yeah – I figured that out for myself. I thought he told you what he wanted the other day?"
"Not ringing a bell." I said shrugging.
"How much time have you been spending with Malfoy lately? You sound just like him."
"Really? Thanks."
"Not a compliment," she said shaking her head before smiling. "I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages Al. We used to do this all the time! I only see you when there's a few hundred Weasley's present."
"Yeah." I said nodding hoping it was appropriate.
"Oh – crap! Is that the time? I promised Lily I'd help her with her Potions essay."
"Can't she do it herself?"
"You're one to talk." She said standing, "The only reason you passed your Charms O.W.L is because of me."
"Are you serious?" I bounded to my feet.
"Yeah? Remember, you couldn't quite manage a cheering charm?" she was smiling. "Well anyway Al – it was good to see you."
She walked towards me and I naturally took a step back.
"Don't freak out Al – I just wanted to hug you!"
"I – uh – yeah..." I managed to say as she wrapped her arms around me and held me tightly for a few seconds.
"Bye Al!" she said cheerily.
"Bye Rose . . ." I said leaving the Room of Requirement and heading for the Slytherin Common Room.
Suddenly the entire game had changed.
"Al!" I called out as soon as I made it into the Common Room.
"Talking to yourself out loud?" asked Zabini.
"What? Uh – yeah."
When was this stuff going to wear off?
Then I saw him – me – whatever.
"Now Scor-Al, before you say anything I just want you to know that my intentions with Pamela are entirely-"
"What does Hugo want for his birthday?" I interrupted.
"Why do you want to – ohh," he said his face dawning in recognition, "So you don't mind if I date Pamela?"
"Nope."
"Wait – what's in it for you?"
"Oh, you know – the lack of abuse, freaky stalkers and hugs from your cousin-"
"Wait? What was that last part?"
"I said being someone else is buzzing."
I smirked heading up to the dorm, leaving a very confused Al standing in the Common Room.
Oh yeah, this had changed everything. Not only was I going to get a whole lot of dirt on the Weasley/Potter family but I was also going to get close to Weasley.
Wait what? Did I just? Did I just. . .
This doesn't mean I like her. I just like a good hug. That's all.
End!
Woohoo – please review! If you can favourite, or alert it then you can review! I hope this chapters okay – got a good plan for this story! So stick around, and did I mention review? How long does it really take?
