Chapter 2


Lorcan had been surprised to see Emma Wood approach him, especially after weeks of him attempting to talk to her, and failing.

She approached with a tender smile on her face, causing him to blush deeply. He returned her smile, although he knew he probably looked like a grinning fool.

"Hi Lorcan, how's the fresh snow treating you?" Emma asked smiling and straightening her white ear muffs and twisting the tips of her long brown hair.

"Great, winter has always been my favourite season," Lorcan replied awkwardly and Emma nodded.

"Rose said you wanted to talk to me, what's up?"

Lorcan made a confused look unconsciously and thought he hadn't heard right. He couldn't help scratching his head, something he often did when he was nervous, "I, um."

"I got your note by the way, it was really nice of you, and sugar quills are my favourite, how did you know?" Emma interjected, Lorcan smiled.

"You were telling me on the train that you liked them, and when I went to Honeydukes the other day, I saw them and thought of you."

He saw a lopsided smile spread across her face, her smile. She stepped slightly closer to him, and standing on her toes kissed his cheek, stepping back still smiling, and noticing Lorcan had reddened substantially more.

"Do you want to walk me back to Gryffindor tower?" she asked grinning at him, Lorcan just nodded still shocked at the previous closeness.

They turned in the general direction of the castle and their shoulders brushed as they began to make their way back up to the castle, making small talk as they went.

Once Lorcan had dropped Emma off outside the Gryffindor common room, he could just about contain his joy. She had agreed to have a Butterbeer with him during the next Hogsmeade weekend next week.

As he made his way up the spiral staircase to Ravenclaw tower he heard banging and frustrated harrumphing. Once Lorcan had reached the top he saw Albus standing at the door, kicking it. His hair still bright pink, Lorcan contained a laugh as he stepped onto the landing.

"Albus, you really shouldn't be doing that, if a teacher catches you, they won't be happy, or worse still, if Rose catches you." Albus quickly turned, he looked very angry.

"Can you please open the door, so I can murder that cousin of mine." Albus grunted and tried pulling on the eagle-shaped knocker.

"You know I can't have you killing my best friend Albus, and I don't think your family would be very happy if you killed Rose." Lorcan said trying to create a calm atmosphere.

"I'm still going to talk to her, just answer the question please." Albus said looking behind Lorcan and crossing his arms. Breathing noisily through his nose.

Lorcan smirked, "patience is a virtue Albus, so what is the question?" He started to take off his gloves and placed them in his pocket, waiting for Albus.

Albus huffed, "does a Boggart have a clearly defined form in its own company?"

"Well does it?" Lorcan asked, and Albus replied with a glare.

"You are just as bad as Rose, just answer the question Lorcan." He said, obviously trying to keep his voice low.

Albus had always just about managed to tolerate Lorcan, he was nearly as bad as Rose. Albus preferred Lysander, but everything was either about Victoire, Wrackspurts or 'your annoying cousin Molly'.

Lorcan smirked and walked closer to the door, "it only takes some logic Albus, it's not very hard," Lorcan cleared his throat and spoke clearly, "if a tree falls in the forbidden forest and no one is around to hear it, it still makes a sound. Therefore a Boggart which is yet to replicate a persons' fear must still take a form as it is still in existence."

"Good observation," the knocker said and the door swung open.

Lorcan couldn't help turning back to Albus and smirking, guiding him into the huge, circular common room with his arm in a sweeping motion. "You're welcome."

He received an eye roll in reply and Albus pushed past and entered the common room.

Rose was laid out on one of the chaise longues', reading through 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' humming away to a pop song.

"Rose!" Albus shouted, she turned her head and smirked at his still bright pink hair, Lorcan sat in an armchair waiting to see what would unfold.

"Hello Albus, still can't think of the charm to get rid of your new hair colour?" Rose asked, getting into a sitting position.

"Come on Rose, just change it back please, it's embarrassing enough, and it was only a joke before. I would have reversed the spell, but you had already gotten rid of it by the time I looked back. Plus you were with Scorpius." He pleaded.

"I don't know Albus, it wasn't very nice of you," Rose said sighing and looking at the starry ceiling.

"Please Rose, I'm your cousin, don't you love me? And I will forgive you and Scorpius for going against me."

Rose just about stifled a laugh, and shaking her head she took out her wand and turned his hair back to its natural colour.

"Are you sure you don't want some highlights? They are in right now," she suggested smiling.

Albus shook his head and sat on the end of the seat and looked around the room.

"It's very blue in here," he said simply, twiddling his thumbs.

"Well done Albus, you know your primary colours." Rose said sighing, putting the book on a nearby table.

"Well Rosie, I think it's about time I went back to my own common room, see you at dinner. And Lorcan, I forgive you for taking Emma."

Lorcan blushed and Rose started to laugh, Albus jumped up and exited the common room, leaving Rose and Lorcan the only people left in the Ravenclaw common room.

"What exactly did he mean by you being with Scorpius? Hmm Rosie? Pray tell." Lorcan asked leaning into his arm chair and removing his scarf.

She glared at him and threw one of the pillows at him. "If you keep using that name, you will pay for it."

He smiled, "just tell me what you were doing with Scorpius, something interesting I hope? Did you turn him bald by any chance?" Lorcan rubbed his hands together and leaned forward, waiting for a good story.

"Well I decided to be friends with Scorpius." Rose said plainly, crossing her legs and leaning against the chaise longue, showing only three quarters of her face to Lorcan.

"What?" he shouted in reply, clearly very confused. "You said you hated him, and you said you were always right."

"I wouldn't say that Lorcan," Rose said turning back to him and folding her feet under her.

"You are unbelievable Rose Weasley, so why did you come to this decision may I ask?"

"Well seeing as you have got yourself a new girlfriend, I thought that it would be wise to find myself someone else to hang out with while you are off with Emma." She folded her hands into her lap and sent a smile Lorcans way.

"And out of everyone you chose Scorpius Malfoy?" Lorcan asked leaning further forward, trying to catch something in Rose's eye that would show she was joking.

"I know it seems quite strange Lorcan, but he isn't as bad as you think, he knows quite a bit about Muggle things, and he is quite smart."

Lorcan at this point remembering that his best friend was insane began to laugh.

"Rose, you are the one who thought he was bad! And I know you are just trying to make yourself seem right. You are so deceptive; sometimes I wonder if you should be in Slytherin."

Rose looked away from him but couldn't help smiling, she would never admit she was wrong, but that didn't mean she did not want to keep the pretence up.

"Come on Lorie, let's go to the Owlery, you can tell me about the development between yourself and Miss Wood, and I can send a letter to my mother." Rose stated, standing up and sending a smile towards Lorcan.

He sighed and followed after her, she picked up a couple of her books and opened the door. This would surely be a long year, he thought as he closed the door behind him.
