Wow my story is getting long. I hope you guys don't mind. I still have quite a bit to go. 96 REVIEWS!!! Wow I feel loved.
GossipGirlHere mentioned that she would have liked to see Scorpius's post break up feelings. I wasn't originally going to put them in but they can fit in with this chapter so I will put them in. I hope you like them.
Thanks to EVERYONE for the reviews. You guys rock. I would love reviews for this chapter to so please review if you like it.
First bit is in Scorpius's POV, after the dotted line it changes to Rose's. After the next dotted line it is back to Scorpius's and after the next dotted line it is back to Rose's. This will probably be quite a short chapter so sorry about that.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I'm kind of getting bored of saying it.
This week has been great. As in fabulous, fantastic, marvellous, happy, grand, positive, amazing, beautiful, delightful, excellent, wonderful, joyful, brilliant, outstanding, superb, awesome, sensational, exceptional, in other words it was one of the best weeks ever!
It was the complete opposite to my worst day ever. Sigh, I remember that day well.
You may wonder why my week was so fabulous, fantastic, marvellous.... All of it was down to me breaking up with Lisa, it was a relief. As I was sitting at the Slytherin table on Wednesday morning with Vincent all I could feel was relief. I was just so happy that it was over and that I had possibly not ruined our friendship completely. It truly was a great day.
"What are you so happy about?" the unusually gloomy Vincent said to me at breakfast. He had been like this for about a week.
"I broke up with Lisa and I may not have screwed up our whole friendship. But that's not important. What's got you down mate? You are un-characteristically gloomy. You are never gloomy!" I said. It was true, Vincent was the happiest person I knew, it is part of the reason he is Quidditch captain. He just has all this enthusiasm.
"I walked in on Bella kissing Harry Finch-Fletchley last week." He prodded a bit of bacon with unnecessary bit of venom. I knew that Vincent still loved Bella even though they broke up; I was under the impression that she still loved him, until I found out about her kissing Finch-Fletchley.
"That's harsh Vince. You just have to get over it. You have to tell her how you feel, using the band-aid theory of course."
He grunted.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! VINCENT GREGORY GOYLE!" I shouted at him, hoping that this would do something.
He grunted again.
"You're acting all Bella from Twilight on me Vince and I demand it stops now or I will go up to Bella and tell her myself why you are acting weird."
"You wouldn't!" he said sounding shocked.
"Oh yes I would!" I glared at him. "And you are going to tell Bella how you feel by the end of this week or forever hold your piece and you have to move on!"
"Fine!" he said and went back to his bacon.
Shaking my head, it turned towards the Gryffindor table, Rose Weasley was looking mighty upset. It was really weird, her normally beautiful brown eyes were red and puffy, and her normally perfectly curled hair was a bit frizzy. What was wrong with her? No one else seemed to be noticing it. Was it just me? Weird.
"What do we have first?" I asked Vincent.
"Free period."
"Awesome!" I said and we got up from the Slytherin table and walked down towards the common room.
"What homework do you want to get started on? That essay for Nott looks really interesting, so should I do it first to do something fun or save it till last so I don't procrastinate with the others." He said, almost cheerfully. It was a start.
"I think we should start that Charms one, it is due the soonest." I said, always practical of course.
"Good idea." Vincent said and we started.
It had been about 20 minutes when I had realised I needed to get a book out from the library to finish it.
"I just need to go to the library; I will be back in 15 minutes." I told Vincent and I got up.
"Mmm." Vincent said, not really listening as he was absorbed in his essay.
I left the Slytherin Common room and proceeded up the 4 floors to the library. I really hoped that Weasley hadn't already taken out the book 'Everything you need to know about N.E.W.T Charming'; it would be a major bummer if she had.
I was on the second floor when I head sniffling from down the corridor. It sounded like someone crying. I stopped walking and looked down the corridor. A small blonde boy was standing in the middle of the corridor, looking lost, tears streaming down his face.
"You ok buddy?" I asked the small boy as I walked down the corridor up to him and I handed him a tissue.
The little boy took the tissue and shook his head, he looked about 11. "No. I'm lost." He sniffed.
"Well we can't have that can we?" I said to him and I held out a hand. "I'm Scorpius. Would you like me to help you find your way to class?"
He shook my hand.
"I'm James Kettle. Yes please."
"Well hi James, so do you know what class you have now?" I asked him.
"Charms with Professor Flitwick." He said, sounding nervous.
"Well you nearly made it." I said kindly. "It's just round this corner here. Come on, I'll show you."
"Thank you." He said and we walked off.
..........................................................................................................
I turned around in shock. That was the most kind and caring thing I have ever seen Scorpius do in his whole life; helping out a lost first year. It looked and sounded like he was being totally genuine about it, not like he had to do it. It was more like he wanted to.
It was really sweet. And Malfoy and sweet aren't usually words I put in the same sentence, the only times I have used it was when I had the words 'is not' in the middle.
You must be wondering where I am? No? Well I'm going to tell you anyway. I am standing on the second floor corridor, just around the corner from where Scorpius Malfoy helped a first year find his way to class.
It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. A stuck-up, arrogant Slytherin HELPING a small, innocent, first year Hufflepuff. You know how I said yesterday that Scorpius Malfoy wasn't caring, well I'm going to have to take that back. Not because I want to or anything, but because it is the truth. It is standing right in front of me. Scorpius Malfoy just proved he IS a kind, caring, handsome, good Quidditch playing, smart person.
And it is the hardest thing I have ever had to admit. Well apart from the fact he bet me in our Defence Against the Dark Arts OWL.
"What are you doing here Weasley?" I heard an arrogant male voice (just because I have just admitted that Malfoy is a kind, caring person doesn't mean that his voice isn't still arrogant) from behind me.
"I could ask you the same thing Malfoy." I smirked. "I was just in the library getting out this book." I showed him the book in my arms 'Everything you need to know about N.E.W.T charming'.
..................................................................................................................
I hadn't even got to the library and she already had that book. How annoying was that?
Well it was VERY annoying.
"And you think that book is going to help you pass charms?" I smirked back at her. "You wish Weasley."
"Well that is saying something from the guy I bet in charms by 12% last year." She glared at me.
"That was last year Weasel, this is this year."
"Doesn't make a difference what year it is Malfoy, I've bet you in every Charms test since 1st year. What makes you think this year will be any different?" she told me in that annoying know-it-all voice. The one that had bet me in every charms test since 1st year.
"Except 5th year Weasel. We both got O's that year." I told her.
"That was only because there were only 6 possible grades. If it had been in percentage grades like it usually is then I would be prepared to bet all the money that my family owns that I would have bet you."
"Wow, a whole 2 galleons you are willing to bet!" I smirked. I instantly felt bad about saying that as I watched her ears go red (that always meant she was really mad). I really shouldn't have insulted her family; I know that is a danger zone.
.............................................................................................................
Anger boiled up inside me for the second time in two days because of this boy. No one makes fun of the amount of money my family has and gets away with it. It has been years (since before I was born) since the Weasley family didn't have a lot of money. And because of this I do NOT take these insults lightly.
"At least they're not death eaters like yours Malfoy, but you are so dead Malfoy! NO ONE insults my family." I breathed, absolutely livid.
"Um calm down Weasley." He said, sounding scared. He had reason to be. He started backing away. "Um Rose? Please calm down."
"Avis." I said and several birds flew out of my wand. "OPPUGNO!" I screeched and the birds flew at Malfoy and started attacking him. I ran back to the Gryffindor common room.
Serves him right! The 'caring' Slytherin. Guess that caring is only reserved for people that aren't me.
I let out sob as I crashed into someone on the 7th floor corridor, sending us both to the floor.
Author's note: So who did Rose crash into? Hmmmmm. And how cute was Scorpius when helping James Kettle. I just thought it was a way to show Rose that Scorpius is a caring guy. Sorry if you guys don't think it's sweet but I really do. It makes him seem really nice.
Anyone notice Scorpius used Rose's name when he was speaking to her? Interesting!
Sorry if no one likes the bit about Vincent and Bella, but I think it makes sense because when you are best friends with someone it's not always about you. You have to give and take. It's a two way street after all. It would be horrible to have a best friend where all you talked about was them. So that is why I put the stuff about Bella and Vincent in. Plus I love Vincent; he is the sweetest thing ever (along with Al and Scorpius. I just love them so much).
So I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed.
