Thanks to everyone for the reviews! You guys rock! I just feel totally loved. Virtual hugs to EVERYONE!

Well here is my next chapter. Please enjoy!

First bit is in Rose's POV and after the dotted line it changes to Scorpius's POV. After the second dotted line it goes back to Rose's.

People who are rooting for Scorpius's break up with Lisa could be happy with this chapter, but then again; maybe not (I don't want to give it away). Review anyway!

Disclaimer: I do NOT, however much I wish I did, own Harry Potter.

I thought breaking up with your boyfriend was supposed to leave you heartbroken for weeks on end. I thought you were supposed to drown in this great lake of depression. I thought you were supposed to feel as though nothing would ever be right again.

It is funny how none of these things seem to apply to me.

I am not heartbroken; in fact I am quite relieved at the end of the relationship, more of a heart mended than broken. I was not drowning in a great lake of depression, more like floating on a great lake of happiness. I didn't feel as though nothing would ever be right again, I felt as though everything was perfect and would continue to be so.

It was not just me that was surprised by my reactions. Al was constantly asking if I was okay and was always looking as though I was about to burst into tears, even though I hadn't shed one tear for Jack. We were on better terms than when we were dating, why should I cry over that?

Lily was also surprised but her surprise was more of a happy surprise. She was surprised that I wasn't the one to break up with Jack and she was surprised that I was really happy about not having a boyfriend. She kept trying to make me admit that I liked someone else, even though I don't.

Hugo was surprised and I think he was annoyed that I wasn't heartbroken because he didn't have an excuse to hex Jack. I think he wanted to play the protective younger brother. Too bad there was nothing to protect me from. I'll call him in for my next broken heart. He did have quite a few hexes up his sleeve, Dad would be impressed.

It was the start of a brighter time in my opinion. It was quite refreshing to be single, it made you feel like an individual, your own person rather than 'insert BF's name here's girlfriend'. I was really enjoying myself. So was Jack. I think he quite liked not having the responsibility of being a 'caring' boyfriend and being there for me all the time. I equalled liked not having to listen to all his 'guy' talk and have to pretend to be interested in it. Talking about Quidditch was fine for awhile but trust me, after awhile it gets seriously boring.

No, I was truly happy and was NOT looking back.

That was until I walked into an 'empty' corridor to find Malfoy and Zabini making out.

Anger swelled through my body. I literally wanted to rip them apart and start screaming. I wanted to hex Zabini into oblivion. Running away was the safest option of course. And that's what I did; I turned on my heel and ran. I ran and ran and ran and ran, ran until I couldn't run anymore. I ran up seven flights of stairs to the Gryffindor common room.

"Whomping Willow." I shouted at the portrait of the fat lady. It swung open and I ran up to my dormitory before anyone could notice I was there. When I got there I pulled the hangings around my four-poster bed and flopped down on it.

Tears started leaking out of my eyes and I had no idea why. A small, rather truthful, part of my brain told me it was jealousy. But I didn't listen to it; no I was much happy to listen to the larger, lying, part of my brain told me it was my hormones. It was a much simpler explanation. I stayed like this, lying on my bed with silent tears falling down my face for at least an hour when my eyes seemed to have been all teared out. I rolled over and fell instantly asleep, still fully clothed.

................................................................................................................

It was Tuesday when I was walking in an empty corridor, just thinking of the best way to break up with her. I told myself I would do it the next time I saw her because I just couldn't keep holding it off. I had to do it and do it fast. Just like those muggle band-aid things that they use when they cut themselves because they can't heal the skin straight away. Stupid muggles, but anyway apparently it hurts when you pull them off so you have to pull them off fast to limit the pain, sure it'll hurt more but it will be quicker. So that's what I'm going to do. Break up with Lisa using the band-aid method. In other words I am going to do it quickly, even though it might hurt more.

I really hope Lisa and I can still be friends after this, I don't want to lose a lifelong friendship over one relationship. Mind you, if this doesn't work I am sure I could use a time turner to fix things. I would go back to the day on the Hogwarts express at say no. Too bad I don't have a time turner. If I did I would have gone back and not taken potions in 6th year, but I've already explained that.

"Scorpius?" I hear a curious voice from behind me. I turn around and mentally prepare myself. It's now or never right? I don't want to end up married to her.

"Um Lisa, there is something I need to talk to you about." I told her, looking down at my shoes. Thomas was so right about that, it made everything much less intimidating.

But just then I felt my face being jerked upwards and suddenly I felt Lisa lips on mine. The more I tried to pull away, the more she tried to hold on. We stood there for a minute or two and then I heard someone enter the corridor, stand there for a second and then turn around and run. As I finally pulled away from Lisa I saw a streak of curly red hair leave the corridor. I looked at the place Rose Weasleys had been for several seconds but then Lisa started speaking.

"Sorry, that was way out of line." She apologised.

"That's ok. Well no it's not. But I understand, I think." I said, totally confused.

"I'm truly sorry but I had to get one more kiss in before you dumped me." She said. She sounded to upfront about it.

"I wouldn't call it 'dump'" I said. She raised her eyebrows.

"What would you call it then?" she smirked.

"Breaking up with?" I tried.

"Nice one Scorp but its fine. Can I ask why?"

"Um well you have been really clingy and it is really weird. I don't even know why I agreed to go out with you in the first place. I guess I was scared of losing you as a friend. You are smart, beautiful and amazing but when we started going out you got clingy, needy and desperate. I just don't think we were meant to go out. I would still love to be friends because you are honestly one of my best friends ever and I would hate to lose you but I totally understand if you don't want to talk to me again and that is totally cool. Well obviously I would prefer it if you would continue to be friends with me but I understand if you don't. Sorry I'm rambling." I said and then looked back down at my shoes, like the coward I am.

"Oh." She said. "I'm really sorry about all that clingy stuff. I just noticed the way girls looked at you and I guess I was scared of losing you."

"That's fine. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you upfront." I admitted and looked up at her. She looked really upset but like she understood at the same time.

"That's okay. I'm kind of glad you didn't. It was pretty cool going out with the Head Boy for a bit." She smiled; a sad smile and I smiled back, a smile filled with sorry.

This was going to be a dent in our friendship but I knew we were going to be alright in the end.

.....................................................................................................................................

When I woke up the next morning my eyes were slightly red and puffy from crying. I was still in my clothes from yesterday. It wasn't the best look. My hair was a mess.

The good thing about having just broken up with your boyfriend is that no one expects you to look your best because apparently you spend all your time crying. Hopefully no one will ask too many questions about my questionable appearance, I wouldn't know how to answer them if I did. It was so weird, I saw Zabini and Malfoy snogging and then I got really angry and ran away and started crying. If I didn't know any better I would say I was jealous, but I do know better so obviously I'm not jealous. Well maybe I was a teensy bit but that was normal right? Maybe not but I'll blame it on stress anyways, we have N.E.W.T's this year after all.

Lily was in the common room when I went down.

"Hello cousin!" she greeted my cheerfully.

"Hello." I said, rather half-heartedly.

"What's up?" she asked.

"I don't know. But let's just leave it at that."

"Ok then." She said and I was thankful, we walked down to the great hall in silence.

The thing was that when we got to the Gryffindor table I couldn't help but look over at the Slytherin table.

A weird site meets my eyes. Lisa Zabini was sitting with a group of friends, talking but she looked quite upset, Malfoy was sitting a few seats down talking to Vincent Goyle. He looked a bit relieved. This was really weird because usually Zabini couldn't keep away from Malfoy, especially when they were around other people. It made me feel a bit happier at the fact that they weren't sitting together. It was really strange. Maybe I don't hate Malfoy as much as I thought?

"What's up with you?" Al said as he sat down in front of me.

"Nothing." I said as I un-focused my gaze from the Head Boy.

"Looking at a certain Slytherin, that's what." Lily smirked from beside me. Al smirked too.

"Already in love with him are you?" he grinned.

"What? Pff...No!" I said and started looking at my plate. It sounded to me like I was in denial. But in denial of what? It's not like I like Malfoy or anything? He has NO good qualities apart from being good looking, smart and good at Quidditch. He's not caring, kind or anything like that.

Na uh! I definitely do NOT like Scorpius Malfoy.

Author's note: What do you guys think about this chapter? I quite like the start but I feel it went downhill a bit. Especially for Rose's POV at the end. It just needed to put it in so I am sorry.

I feel that Lisa is ultimately a good person; she is just a horrible girlfriend to Scorpius. And I think if you knew as a person you would understand. As Scorpius is one of the most handsome guys in Hogwarts, he is definitely the smartest, he is good at Quidditch and he is head boy. All of this got to Lisa and she really didn't want to lose him so this lead to her being really clingy. It was an unfortunate thing to happen to a good character. You may wonder why I made her clingy if I liked the character, well the answer to that is that I really needed a good reason for Scorpius to dump her. I couldn't have them 'falling apart' like Jack and Rose because that would be the same and VERY boring for the reader. She will probably go back to normal now, well she will be a bit jealous and won't be as friendly but she probably won't pose any threat to the future Rose/Scorpius relationship so DON'T worry.

As you will have noticed, Rose is now starting to notice her feelings and more of that is to come. I have a really sweet chapter coming up next. Rose gets to see a really sweet /caring side of Scorpius which is going to be great to write and will just make me love him more. He is just so cool.

Anyway, please review with any questions, comments or whatever. I really value your opinion so have fun reviewing. I will try and upload the next chapter tomorrow (well tomorrow where I am, I guess it depends on where you live).
