I know you are all DIEING to know who Head Girl is so I will get right on with it. Don't get too excited about the chapter title. It's not what you think; well it might be as I'm not sure what you're thinking...
Sorry to keep you waiting. Please review. Thanks to those who have.
First bit is in Scorpius's POV, after the dotted line it changes to Rose's POV.
ENJOY!

"Lisa?" I repeated.
"Hey Scorp!" she said enthusiastically "How was your summer?"
"Um," I said. Still really confused. "It was okay. What about yours?"
"Oh it was good," she smiled.
"That's good. What are you doing here? Are you Head Girl?" I asked hurriedly.
"What? Gosh no! I came here to talk to you!" she said.
"Bummer." I groaned. "Do you know who is?"
"Yeah it's-"she started but we were interrupted by the compartment door sliding open.
Lisa didn't need to finish her sentence because it became quite clear who head girl was. She came in, curly red hair falling around her shoulders, brown eyes alight with excitement and already in her school robes, with a head girl badge pinned on them.
"Weasley." I sneered.
"Malfoy." She sneered back. She was getting quite good at that.
"So you were saying Lisa?" I said turning my back on Weasley.
.........................................................................................................................
He was such an arrogant jerk; goodness knows how he became head boy. I know I wouldn't appoint him head boy. Who would? Well Professor McGonagall obviously did.
Sitting down I glared up at Lisa Zabini and Malfoy as they had rudely excluded from their conversation. Hmph! Well I'll just get a book out and they will think I'm not interested in their conversation. WHICH I'M NOT! Okay so maybe I am. I grab out Hogwarts a History and pretend to read it while I actually listen to their conversation.
"Um yeah." Zabini is saying. "Well we have been friends for awhile and I realise this could be kind of awkward but..."
Oh just spit it out Zabini, I want to shout. You really like him, as in more than a friend so you were wondering if he wanted to out on a date sometime!
"I really like you, as in more than a friend so I was wondering if you wanted to go out on a date sometime?" she finished nervously.
Gosh people are predictable. I pity her taste, I really do. I mean who would want to go out with Scorpius Malfoy? It's not like he is attractive or anything? Pfff! He is arrogant, evil, he is snobbish, mean, a jerk, he is also materialistic, horrible, insulting, repulsive, plus he is obnoxious, irritating, selfish and worthless! That is 13 negatives! That is obviously a bad sign for him. Mind you girls are probably blinded by other stuff like his looks, charm, smartness, okay Rose stop! You shouldn't be listing the good points of Scorpius Malfoy (that is just wrong), you SHOULD be eavesdropping their conversation!
Malfoy hesitated for a second, probably wanting to keep her waiting, what a jerk! Probably doesn't want to break her heart since she is his friend and all.
"Sure. I mean yes, I'd love too." He said smoothly. A wave of emotion caught hold of me, anger? Maybe. Disgust? Definitely. Maybe it was both, I mean...well I don't know what I mean! I don't have to make sense all the time you know!
"Cool." She said breathlessly and left the compartment. I hated her. Every single bit of Lisa Zabini I suddenly hated, her stupid blonde hair (probably dyed), he stupid blue eyes, her stupid voice! I felt my ears go red, darn ears, they were so annoying. I held the book up to cover my face so that Malfoy wouldn't notice my ears.
"Shouldn't we get the schedules ready for the prefects?" I heard Malfoy say.
"Yes. We should." I said, rather pompously and we got to work.
About an hour later we returned to the compartment after telling the prefects what they had to do and when.
"Oh my gosh, I am so tired." Malfoy moaned and he sank down on one of the seats in the compartment.
"Don't care." I told him and I got out the Standard Book of Spells Grade 7 and started reading.
"Do you ever do anything else but read?" he asked in a tone of disgust.
"Yes Malfoy, I do." I said shortly.
"Like snog that boyfriend of yours." He said in what sounded like disgust.
"Like it's any of your business." I retorted. "Now if you'll excuse me for a moment I have to go and find my cousins." I left the compartment and practically slammed the door shut.
Walking along the train corridor I noticed that people were really noisy. Was it really necessary for people to be this loud? I didn't think so. About half way along the train I stopped outside a compartment that had Lily, Hugo and Al in it.
"Hey guys." I said as I opened the door.
"Hey Rose." Lily said happily as I came in and sat down.
"Yeah, hey Rose." Hugo mumbled as he continued doing some work.
"Didn't do your holiday homework then?" I laughed. He was so like Dad in his studying habits.
"If I tell you, you will give me detention Miss Head Girl." He mumbled and got back to his work.
"How's Malfoy?" Al asked me. "Has he driven you up the wall yet?"
"Same jerk as ever." I told him.
"Now are you saying that because you feel you have to or because you mean it?" Lily said with a glint in her eye.
"What? Of course I mean it." I said.
"Oh we're not sure you do Rosie." Al told me.
"What? And who's we?" I questioned.
"Well we, Lil and I, reckon that you like Malfoy and-"he started.
"WHAT!" Hugo shouted, clearly distracted from his homework. "Rosie couldn't like a Malfoy! That is absurd!"
"I agree with you little brother." I said darkly. "I do NOT like Scorpius Malfoy."
"Sure you don't." Lily said as her and Al shared an evil grin. Oh they had inherited that of their mother. They got their mother's evil grin, I got my father's red ears, and this is fair how?
"I don't!" I insisted.
"Whatever you say." Al said.
"You better not like him!" Hugo said threateningly, he really did share Dad's (and well my) passion for hating the Malfoys. It was like it was written into our blood. As Lily and Al didn't have our last name they obviously didn't have it in theirs. James did though. But maybe that was because he was like Uncle George in that situation.
"Well I don't so you are safe there Hugo."
"Good!" he said and went back to his homework.
"Okay, well I'm off." Al said.
"Where to?" Lily asked.
"Never you mind!" he told her.
"To go see Abby Winters." I said. "What?" I say at his angry face. "It's the truth, unlike what you said about Malfoy."
"I suppose to the first bit." He muttered.
"Okay, well I have to go back to my compartment so I'll see you guys later." And I moved past Al who was attempting to flatten his hair before he went to see Abby and into the corridor.
As I walked down the corridor I started to ponder what Al and Lily had said. They were being utterly ridiculous, I mean I know that Scorpius is good looking and everything and he's pretty smart, but to suggest that I like the guy? That is downright weird. And wrong because I, Rose Molly Weasley, do NOT like Scorpius Malfoy.
Walking into our (insert shudder here) compartment I noticed that Malfoy had fallen asleep. I sighed; well he did say he was tired. His tall body was leaning against the window, his blonde fringe still in place but slightly messier than usual. He looked oddly peaceful with his eyes closed. His mouth was slightly open so he could breath. He looked pretty amazing when he slept, stupid Malfoy. How dare he look good while he is sleeping? It is just so unfair; I mean I know I look a mess when I'm asleep.
The compartment door slid open as I took a seat on the opposite side of the compartment. It was Vincent Goyle.
"Scorp, I heard Lisa asked you—"he started before he realised his best mate was asleep. He looked at me expectantly.
"What?" I asked, rather rudely.
"How long has he been asleep? And did Lisa really ask him out?" he said as though he was being obvious.
"I have no idea; I only just got back into the compartment. Yes she did and he said yes." I said bitterly.
"Could you tell him that I was here when he wakes up?" he asked me.
"Sure, I guess." I said.
"Cool. Thanks Rose." He left and I was left to continue reading in peace. Well almost peace...
Malfoy had started this slow; heavy breathing that was quite loud. Gosh, he even annoys me in his sleep. But even as I thought this I knew the words were false. It was extremely cute, him lying against the window in his sleep, breathing heavily. His breath smelt like mint, in fact he smelt kind of like mint, a really nice mint. Snap out of it Rose, you have a boyfriend remember.
Oh yeah, I hadn't thought about Jack for ages, was that bad? I mean it had only been a couple of days...That's not to bad is it? No, I didn't think so.
I was left in silence to think about my boyfriend, but instead my thoughts were about the currently asleep, blonde haired, cute, arrogant boy in front of me.
Author's Note: Please don't hate me to much guys for having you on about Lisa being head girl. I mean of COURSE Rose would be head girl; she has the best grades in her year! I just liked Lisa being there to make Scorpius happy for a minute, and it gave her the opportunity to ask him out, with Rose there which meant we could capture the jealousy issue. Man, both Scorpius and Rose are clueless. If you have been noticing you will have noticed that Scorpius is the one that seems most open to his 'real feelings' not Rose and I did this for a reason, well obviously. I want Scorpius to be the one to like her first because that's just how I can see it happening in my mind. Also Scorpius is likely to skirt around the truth for longer, I have a feeling that if Rose knew she liked him she would just go up to him and say it. But Scorpius is the kind of guy that would probably keep it to himself. I know most of you are probably wondering why Scorpius said yes to Lisa, well that is in the next chapter so you will just have to wait. I am just assuring you that you will find out why.
So that is my explanation! Hope you really enjoyed the chapter, if you did then you can click the cute little button below and REVIEW! I would feel so loved and happy if you did!
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed.
