Wow, chapter 12!

I hope you enjoy this chapter!

First of all it is in Scorpius's point of view, then after the dotted line I am going to do it in Albus's for a change. After the second dotted line it is going to be in Rose's POV.

This chapter is the same scene told three times in different ways. It is supposed to be repetitive.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and I am asking you to PLEASE review again!

You guys are the best!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (well only in my dreams).

Monday, first is Herbology, then Transfiguration, its cold and windy outside. That's one way to put a damper on the day.

I'm just not going to get up. No sirey, no one can make me, Scorpius Malfoy, get up on a cold, windy, Monday morning when first period is Herbology in the cold and then Transfiguration where I have to watch Rose Weasley get a trillion points for Gryffindor and put her stupid (if slightly cute) arm in the air. No way. I was not going to get up.

"UP YOU GET SCORP!" I heard Vincent yell. He was such a morning person, I hated him for it.

"No." I mumbled into my pillow "GO AWAY!"

"SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY!" He screamed "GET UP NOW OR I WILL GET LILY POTTER IN HERE TO PERFORM HER BAT BOGEY HEX ON YOU!"

"Potter can't get in here she's a Gryffindor like all her brothers, cousins, aunties, uncles, parents, grandparents, her whole FAMILY! She wouldn't come anyway." I groaned as I pulled the sheets over my head.

"Do you really think she won't relish the opportunity to perform the Bat Bogey hex on the guy that makes her cousin's and her brother's life hell?! I'd let her in!"

"Fine, fine. I'm getting up. But I can just tell that it is going to be a bad day." I moaned as I got up.

"You can't tell that it is going to be a bad day Scorp, you never took Divination." He laughed, stupid morning person.

"Haha, very funny." I said and I went off on a storm of muttering as I got ready.

"Don't you just love the wind?" Vincent said cheerfully as we walked down to the great hall. Now Vincent had always been a morning person and had always been a very cheery person (don't know why the guys a Slytherin to be honest) but since he got together with Bella he has become almost unbearable in the morning.

"Look Vincent, I know you're my best mate and everything but one more cheery word when all I feel like doing to falling asleep and it could be the end of you." I grumbled.

"Okay." He said, he knew when to shut up. Smart boy.

We sat down at the almost empty Slytherin table (Vincent insisted on getting up earlier than civilised people). I grabbed a piece of toast and put some strawberry jam on it. I really love strawberry jam. The texture, smell and basically all of it is amazingly delicious.

"Found anyone to top Weasley on the list?" Vincent asked me as he tucked into a plate of eggs and bacon (he always was a big eater).

"Nope. They've all left Hogwarts." I said. I was getting in a better mood now that I had some strawberry jam in me. "But I've come to the conclusion that beauty is only skin deep."

"HA!" he said triumphantly. "You said she was beautiful!"

"No I didn't." I said.

"Well you said that BEAUTY was only skin deep!"

"That would be implying it, not saying it." I corrected him.

"Whatever. HA!" he said as a thought struck him again, "You admitted you were implying it."

"I was implying it." I told him simply.

"HA!" he said, "Wait, what? You are admitting to me that you implied that Rose Weasley was beautiful."

"Yes." I said. I wasn't in the mood to lie, or skirt around the truth, so I added "She is beautiful."

"You my friend just admitted that the girl you hate, Rose WEASLEY, is beautiful." Vincent said smiling.

"Yes Vincent, I did. But for the record, beauty is only skin deep, as I stated before. She is still an annoying, irritating, know-it-all, sarcastic, Weasley."

"Keep making excuses mate, but I know that you like her." He said knowingly. I spat the pumpkin juice out that I was drinking.

"I WHAT?" I spluttered.

"I have come to the conclusion that you, Scorpius Hyperion-"

"I should never have told you my middle name; you use it all the time now."

"-Malfoy, like Rose Molly Weasley."

"How the heck do you know her middle name?" I asked. I didn't even know her middle name. Why should I though? I thought to myself. Maybe I do like her? No, that is absurd!

"I heard Potter talking to her and he used it."

"Oh. You are wrong though, I don't like—"

She walked in the great hall, her reddish hair falling around her face in perfect curls. Her eyes sparkling. She was absolutely gorgeous. Maybe that list knew what it was talking about.

"Scorp! Scorpo! Scorpius! EARTH TO SCORPIUS MALFOY!" my best mate was practically shouting from beside me.

"Sorry, gazed off." I muttered and grabbed another piece of toast.

"It's either that, OR you were looking at a very attractive Gryffindor prefect who just walked in." he grinned wickedly.

"The first one." I lied. So maybe I was staring at her. That doesn't mean I like her, does it? No, of course not. Imagine what my family would be like if it was! Man that would be hell.

But worth it, I thought as I watched her back as she sat down. WHOA! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE MALFOY! OMG, I did NOT just think that.

OH man, I did. Luckily for me, it was just in my mind. Oh I really hope no one around here knows legilimency. That would be awkward. Stupid, teenage, male hormones.

I continue to eat my breakfast in silence. A few minutes later Greg, Bella and Lisa arrive. I don't talk much, still totally embarrassed at what just went through my mind. Even though no one else knows.

A few minutes later Vincent and I walk out of the hall first and proceed to go to Herbology (Greg, Lisa and Bella don't take it). As we are walking I hear people talking in front of us. I recognise a mane of reddy hair. There is also the short black hair of Jack Thomas. We stay silent and listen to their conversation.

"So Rose," Thomas was saying. He has black hair; he is quite tall (about the same height as me) and has a traditional beaters body. He is the star beater for the Gryffindor team.

I generally hated his guts. Not as much as Potter's though, and no where near as much as Weasleys (what ever my hormones are trying to tell me). And he hated mine, though not as much as Potter did, and certainly not as much as Weasley did.

"Are you going out with anyone at the moment?" he asked tactfully. She might not know what he was going to do but I certainly did. A surge of anger shot through me.

"No, not at the moment." She said calmly. "Are you?" Man that girl was smart.

"Depends on what you say." he said smiling. "Would you like to go out with me?"

She paused for a moment. "Yes."

My anger was reaching boiling point. I wanted to tear Thomas limp from limp. I felt my face go red.

"Calm down mate." Vincent said, obviously noticing my red face.

"Sorry." I said and I tried to calm down.

It wasn't that easy.

Stupid, teenage, male, hormones.

…………………………………………………………………………

It was cold and windy outside. I really didn't want to get up.

"Up you get Potter!" I heard my mate Jack Thomas say from above me.

"Ok Thomas." I said and with that I got up.

Taking only a few minutes to get ready we (Jack and I) walked down to the great hall.

"Hey Al." he said.

"Yeah?"

"What would you say if I said I was going to ask your cousin out?" he asked me.

"I'd be totally cool with it as long as you don't break her heart, cheat on her, hurt her or whatever." I said automatically. I had had a feeling that he was going to do it. I wasn't going to stop him. As long as he didn't hurt her, break her heart; cheat on her or whatever it would be cool.

"Cool. Thanks mate. I'll ask her before Herbology." I could tell he had been planning this for awhile.

We walked into the great hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Rose was already there.

"Morning." She said as she read her daily prophet that she had just collected.

"Morning." We replied together.

After a breakfast of strawberry jam and toast Rose got up from the table.

"You guys coming to Herbology?" she asked.

"I'm coming." Jack said and he got up.

"You guys go ahead. I need to have another piece of toast."

"Okay." Rose said. And her and Jack left the hall.

After a hurried piece of toast (I always had to have 2 pieces of toast every morning, one with strawberry jam, one with raspberry jam) I almost ran out of the great hall. I really wanted to witness Jack's attempt at asking my cousin out.

I know you might consider this 'eavesdropping' but honestly I'm just looking out for my cousin.

Okay so maybe I'm eavesdropping.

When I got out of the entrance hall I spotted them ahead, walking towards the greenhouses. I also saw another pair of people walking a few metres behind them. Scorpius Malfoy and Vincent Goyle.

They had the prime spot so I just walked a few metres behind them.

"So Rose," Jack was saying. Yus! I thought, I hadn't missed it.

"Are you going out with anyone at the moment?" he asked her. I smiled at his approach.

"No, not at the moment." She said calmly. "Are you?" Good one Rose, two could obviously play at this game.

"Depends on what you say." he said smiling. "Would you like to go out with me?"

She paused for a moment. "Yes."

My small smile worked its way into a massive grin. This conversation seemed to be having the complete opposite affect on the guy in front of my though. I saw Malfoys body tense and I saw the back of his neck go a reddish colour that meant that his face must be red. That was so weird.

"Calm down mate." His mate Goyle was saying. He obviously noticed it too.

"Sorry." Malfoy said and he calmed down slightly.

That was weird. Why was Malfoy going red at the fact that Rose was going out with Jack?

He couldn't be jealous could he? No way! He's a Malfoy. They don't get jealous. He couldn't possibly like her could he? No way! That must be my imagination getting away from me.

Stupid, teenage, male imagination.

……………………………………………………………………………………

It was a lovely, cold, windy day. I loved the cold and the wind. It was so beautiful, the way nature can create all sorts of different types of grey. The world we live in is truly magical. And not the kind of magic we learn here.

None of my roommates were up yet so I quickly got dressed and walked down to the great hall.

I had finished my pondering from the previous night. Rachel was seriously wrong. I did NOT like Scorpius Malfoy, I was going to have to find some way to prove that to her.

I sat down at the breakfast table and got myself some toast with honey. I absolutely detest strawberry jam. Albus seems to love it though.

The post arrived just as I finished my toast. Untying the daily prophet from the delivery owl's leg and paying it, I noticed the main article on the front. It was about the current elections for Minister of Magic, I started to read.

"Morning." I said as Al and his friend Jack Thomas sat down.

"Morning." They said back.

"You guys coming to Herbology?" I asked the two boys a few minutes later as I got up from the table.

"I'm coming." Jack said and he got up.

"You guys go ahead. I need to have another piece of toast." Al said. Of course, he had only had his strawberry jam piece of toast. He needed two, one of strawberry jam, one of raspberry jam. He told me it was to make sure that no jam felt left out. I had said 'What about then other types of jam? Like blueberry, boysenberry etc.' He told me to be quiet and to leave him to his 'Potter logic' as he called it.

"Okay." I said and Jack and I left the hall.

We walked out into the breezy day and started talking about Quidditch (Jack was the beater of the Gryffindor team). When we finished that conversation we feel into a comfortable silence.

"So Rose," Jack broke the silence. "Are you going out with anyone at the moment?"

"No, not at the moment." I told him, I had a feeling about what he was going to ask me. I wasn't sure so I didn't say anything except "Are you?"

"Depends on what you say." He said as he smiled at me. I knew where this was going. "Would you like to go out with me?"

I thought about it for a moment. Jack was smart, a good Quidditch player, he was really nice and funny. What was there to lose?

"Yes." I said. I smiled but somehow it just didn't feel right.

My head was spinning, thinking strange things.

Stupid, teenage, female, mind.

Author's Note: Sorry about all the mentions of strawberry jam (if you read the one-shot I just wrote you will know that I mention it there as well). I haven't had some in ages and it just struck me as I was writing this and I decided to use it.

If I were you, I wouldn't worry about the Jack/Rose relationship too much. It'll prove for some interesting reading (I hope). And Jack isn't a jerk or anything so please don't hate him. He just genuinely likes Rose.

It's now Rachel and Vincent who think that Rose and Scorpius like each other. Even Al has started to notice something!

Just to be clear. I feel the same way as Rose on the whole cold, windy day thing. I love the cold and the rain. I don't really mind the wind (I live in a really windy city so I just deal with it).

I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. I loved writing it.

PLEASE REVIEW!

Thanks to everyone who has.

And please read my other story 'You bet it's a bet!' and review that too. Only if you want to though. It is another Rose/Scorpius fic. Just a one shot though.
