Thanks for the reviews guys. I love hearing people's comments and questions, it just makes me feel so loved! Thanks a bunch guys!
Wow chapter 11! Isn't that just fantabulous?
NB: first bit is in Scorpius's POV (because Rose's has been first for the last couple of chapters so I thought it was Scorpius's turn) and then after the dotted line it changes to Rose's POV.
So this next chapter is going to be cool. Well I hope it is.
Disclaimer: However much I wish I owned Harry Potter, it just doesn't come true.
Of course it's Rose bloody Weasley who is named 'the hottest girl not in Slytherin' on the annual 'Hottest girls not in Slytherin list" Who even made that list anyway? I'll need to have a word with them!
Probably confusing you aren't I? I'll explain that for you shall I?
WELL! Every year a few guys from Slytherin get together and make a 'Hottest girls not in Slytherin list.' They also have a hottest girl in Slytherin list (current champion is Rebecca Palace, 7th year) but they decided they couldn't make a list with Slytherins and not Slytherins combined because what if someone not from Slytherin was the hottest? Us Slytherins would never admit to something like that happening so hence the 'Hottest girls not in Slytherin list.'
This year a couple of 7th year Slytherins (Harold Perkins and Jack Clyde) made the list. It was just put up on the notice board a few hours ago. I'll show you.
Annual HOTTEST GIRLS (not in Slytherin) LIST
1. Rose Weasley (Gryffindor, 6th year)
2. Amelia Bones (Hufflepuff, 7th year)
3. Katie Palace (Ravenclaw, 7th year, Rebecca Palace's twin)
4. Jane Webber (Ravenclaw, 7th year)
5. Jackie Grace (Hufflepuff, 7th year)
6. Pansy Goyle (Ravenclaw, 7th year)
7. Nancy Sullivan (Ravenclaw, 7th year)
8. Bella Liven (Ravenclaw, 7th year)
As you can see by this list (Pansy Goyle is Vincent's cousin by the way) Rose is the only Gryffindor and the only 6th year. It just makes my blood boil!
I mean I know she's attractive and all. Heck, I'm admitting it. Mr Scorpius –I hate Rose Weasleys guts- Malfoy is admitting it! BUT naming her the hottest girl not in Slytherin is going a bit too far, especially as she is the ONLY Gryffindor and the ONLY 6th year. Sure, she's rather attractive, her brown eyes have amazing depth, her hair has this amazing bounce to it and looks unbelievably good curly. Also her red hair doesn't look bad on her like most of the rest of the Weasley family. Her body is pretty fabulous too. Her face is gorgeous too, all her features just fit with her. BUT this doesn't mean she should be named the hottest girl not in Slytherin (which basically means the hottest girl at Hogwarts, Slytherins just don't want to admit that someone from another house is hotter than them. Rebecca Palace is hot and all but she is no Rose Weasley).
There are heaps of people that are hotter than Rose- I mean Weasley.
Like………., then there's…............, plus there is……………………………
Okay, just because I can't think of anyone right now doesn't mean that the list is right. Who in their right mind would vote Rose –know it all- Weasley to the top of the hottest girl list? Not me that's for sure.
So here I am, just standing there, in the Slytherin Common room, glaring at the notice board which the list had been put up on it.
"Can't think of anyone to top her, can you?" My best mate Vincent says from beside me.
'Nope." I grumbled. "And it majorly sucks my 'You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen Weasley. No guy will ever find you attractive' insult isn't going to work anymore'."
"I bet that sucks man, I bet it does."
…………………………………………………………………………………
Every year the 7th year girls of Gryffindor house make a list. Not a regular list, a "Hottest guy" list. Well they have a "Hottest guy in Gryffindor list" and a "Hottest guy not in Gryffindor list".
I personally think it is dumb and shallow, but that doesn't stop me getting excited about seeing it.
Especially the "Hottest guy not in Gryffindor" because usually it is the hottest guy in school. Gryffindors just have too much pride to admit that someone might be hotter than them.
A seventh year Ravenclaw made the top of the list last year. He was head boy, Quidditch captain and had pretty much every girl in the school in love with him. Since he's left I am very curious to see who it is. James was the top of the Gryffindor list last year. He strutted around the common room for days afterwards until Al pulled a massive prank on him, with a bit of help from me. This did seem to bring down his ego a bit, well that and the fact his girlfriend got really angry.
"Rose?" My friend Harriet Creevy said as she came into our dormitory.
"What?" I asked curiously, looking up from my Potions homework. It was due in a few weeks but I just had to get started on it.
"The lists for 'Hottest guys' are up." She told me, sounding terrified.
"Ok. Harriet, why are you sounding terrified?" I asked curiously.
"Um. Well, I just have this teensy, weensy feeling that you won't be exactly happy with who came top." And with that she rushed out of the room. What is wrong with that girl? She is very jumpy and nervous all the time but there was nothing to be scared of at the moment. Maybe she suspects I'll get angry. Who could be top of the list to make me so mad?
Puzzled I get up from my bed and make my way down to the common room. I saw a group of girls (and a few boys) crowding around the Gryffindor notice board. Figuring out that that must be the place where the lists were up, I walked over.
I gently pushed my way through the group of girls and stared at the list.
My eyes flicked to the Gryffindor list first. Some 7th year was first with Al 2nd. Al's friend Jack Thomas was 3rd. The rest of the list was all 7th years that I barely knew.
Why would that make me mad? I wondered. It must be the other list. My head flicked to the list to the right.
My body froze.
Annual HOTTEST GUYS (not in Gryffindor) LIST
1. Scorpius Malfoy (6th year, Slytherin)
To tell you the truth, I didn't read anything after that. Scorpius –poster boy for jerk of the year- Malfoy won the Annual Hottest Guys (not in Gryffindor) list.
That was it. The world had stopped spinning. The earth had crashed. IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD!
Now you may think I'm being a bit dramatic here, but trust me, I'M NOT! If you had ever meet Scorpius Malfoy, you would understand what I'm talking about.
I spun around and stormed back up to the girls dormitories.
"Rose!" Rachel sang happily as she skipped into the room (she was so like her mother).
"Humph." I grunted in reply.
"Well SOMEONE'S being a bit moody today." She smiled.
"Not in the mood Rach." I grumbled back.
"Look Rose, I'm your friend." She said seriously. "You have to tell me what's bothering you!"
"Humph." I grunted again.
"Well actually I don't need your cooperation because I already know what's bothering you!"
"Legilimens now are we?" I smirked.
"No Rose. Either I'm just perceptive, OR you are so bleeding obvious!" She smirked back.
"I am not obvious!" I protested.
"Yeah Rose, and I'm the Minister for Magic." Rachel said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I'm not!"
"I'll admit, usually you are not that obvious but today you were." She reasoned.
"How so?" I asked.
"One look at the 'Hottest Guy' List and then you storm off. Yeah Rose, real subtle."
"Fine, maybe I was a bit obvious." I mumbled.
"I'm gonna go straight in and say it; why does Scorpius Malfoy being on the top of the Hottest Guy list make you mad?" she questioned.
"Well, he's obnoxious, arrogant, rude, mean, insulting, jerk....." I started.
"I have two theories." She said over the top of my rant.
I looked up at her puzzled.
"One; you think Scorpius is a jerk and you think that should stop him being on the Hottest Guy list, even though being a jerk has nothing to do with a person's hotness."
"It should have something to do with it." I mumbled. She cut across me again.
"Two; you like him and are jealous that other girls think of him in that way." She finished.
I looked at my slightly mad friend for a second, shock on my face. Then I started laughing, there was no way that my very good friend, Rachel Lovegood, thought that I, Rose- I hate everything to do with Scorpius Malfoy- Weasley, could like Scorpius! It had to be a joke.
Rachel waited for me to stop laughing and then she said seriously; "I'm being absolutely serious Rose."
"You mean to tell me, that you think that I, Rose-I hate Scorpius Malfoys guts-Weasley, like Sco-I mean –Malfoy."
"Yes Rose. And I do believe that I am correct." She said simply.
"You're crazy. I hate Scorpius Malfoy with a passion." I told her.
"With passion huh?" she smirked again, one eyebrow raised.
"You know what I mean!" I said.
"Sure thing Rose," she said sounding unconvinced.
"IT'S TRUE! I do HATE him!" I protested, sounding a bit like a toddler.
"Just remember that there is a fine line between love and hate!" she said and then she skipped from the room.
Pondering, that's what I was doing. In my dormitory I was left to ponder the words of my insane friend.
Clearly she didn't know that Weasleys and Malfoys just don't mix.
Author's note: What'd ya think? I liked it. I find it pretty funny that they have hottest lists, it is pretty shallow.
That Rachel is one smart kid. She sees it before anyone else does. Kind of like Hermione does with Harry and Ginny. Now I know that Luna doesn't have a daughter but I needed someone like her in the story so I thought I'd just put her in, I'm sorry if anyone takes offence at me not being faithful to the book, well not the book, more JK Rowling's idea. It's just for the purposes of this story.
I am just wondering if you picked up on them using the others first names. Just something subtle I put in, I think it shows the growth in their relationship.
JEALOUSY NEXT CHAPTER!! Whoot whoot!
