Yay 126 reviews, feeling totally loved here. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed!
Aren't you all happy that Scorpius revealed his love, well like, for Rose? I am so excited. And relieved. I hope I didn't disappoint anyone, well as they say you can't please everyone so that is fine.
Yay, this chapter! Hope you all enjoy! Rose's POV BTW.
Disclaimer: I, dork-with-glasses, do NOT own Harry Potter. It is a bummer I know.
I truly hate Scorpius Malfoy, oh yes I do. He made me cry for over an hour. Do you know how humiliating that is? Well let me tell you that it is very humiliating. Lily kept saying that she knew he didn't mean it. I knew he did. He's a jerk. That's what he is, a jerk. And I hate him. Hate everything about him.
It is the morning after I sent those birds to attack Malfoy, the morning after he I called his family death eaters and the morning after he insulted my family. As I said before, I truly hate him. No one insults my family and gets away with it. I am going to have to get Lily to teach me the Bat Bogey Hex, or Aunty Ginny, either one of them would be fine. When I learn how to use it I am so going after Scorpius Malfoy and I am going to Bat Bogey hex him to oblivion.
You may think I'm over-reacting. You might think, what's one comment about someone's family? Well to me it is a big deal. It's not just Scorpius Malfoy insulting them; it is generations of Malfoys insulting them. It is the whole force of every single thing a Malfoy has done to a Weasley. Because once you bring my whole family into, you bring his whole family in it and suddenly, one comment is a big deal. That's just the way it is.
He didn't even apologise the arrogant git. Maybe if he had had the decency to apologise, then maybe I would have forgiven him, but since he didn't, and never will, I'm not going to. No sire, not going to be me. This is because I, Rose Molly Weasley, can hold a grudge. I take after my parents. Mum wouldn't speak to Dad for almost a year because he started going out with another girl, even though Mum and him had never dated. If you don't think that is a grudge then I don't know what is!
I wasn't going to be as forgiving as Mum was either, nope, I was not. It is amazing how someone you hate so much takes up so much of your thoughts. It is so weird because although I hate Scorpius Malfoy with every fibre of my body I always think about him. Even if it is a mean, angry, insulting way, I am almost always thinking about him. More than most people that I actually like. I thought you were supposed to think about the people you loved the most...what if this means that I love Malfoy? Na, it can't be. But wait, what did Rachel say about that fine line between love and hate? Oh gosh. Maybe I do like him. But that's absurd! It would be like Romeo and Juliet all over again, but I wouldn't kill myself over Scorpius. Romeo and Juliet were morons anyway; they had known each other for what, like 3 days. It is ridiculous. They never actually found out about each other's personality either, their relationship was based entirely on looks. How shallow! But I suppose it was true love and everything. Why am I even going on about a muggle play? This is what being angry does to me I tell you! Stupid Malfoy. LOOK! Just there, I thought of him again. I am going to have to control my thoughts because otherwise I am going to have to admit that I like him, which I don't.
Nope, I'll just think about Transfiguration, which I'm heading to now. Yeah Transfiguration will keep my mind off Malfoy. Transfiguration is so much more interesting than Malfoy anyway so I shouldn't have a problem. I wonder what we are doing today in Transfiguration, I bet I'll beat Malfoy anyway, Transfiguration is his worst subject. It's my best, I got an O in my OWL and Malfoy only got an E. Shame Malfoy.
"WEASLEY!" I hear a voice shout from behind me, I know that voice so I keep on walking, and walking fast. There is no way that I am going to stick around for a chat with the guy I'm not supposed to be thinking about. "WAIT UP WEASLEY!" I can hear him running to catch up now. I quicken my pace. "ROSE I'M TRYING TO TALK TO YOU!"
I spin around. He has never called me Rose before. Except yesterday, when he tried to get me to calm down. Why the heck is he calling me Rose? I mean I know it's my name but he has always called me Weasley, or Weasel, or some other 'funny' version of my last name. It is the weirdest thing ever to hear him call me by my first name.
"What do you want Malfoy?" I spat. He was not helping me trying to not think about him. Not that I was ever going to tell him that was what I was doing, well trying to do.
"Man you walk fast." He said as he reached me, panting slightly.
"Ever think you're just unfit?" I countered.
"Nope, not really." He told me.
"Which brings me back to my first question; what do you want Malfoy?" I snapped. "I'm in rather a hurry to get to class you know."
"Yeah I know, we are in the same class Weasley."
"So what did you want? Before I graduate please." I said impatiently.
"Funny, your cousin said exactly the same thing when she was talking to me." He said sounding amused. It looked like he was going to say something more but held his tongue, smart boy. He obviously knows not to insult my family now.
"Why were you talking to Lily? I got sidetracked.
"She was asking me about yesterday. And that's what I wanted to talk to you about."
"What did she say to you?" I asked, hoping that Lily didn't talk about me crying.
"She just asked why I said what I said, and could you please let me get to the point. Before I graduate please." He said.
"Witty Malfoy, very witty." I said sarcastically.
"Yeah well I wanted to say I'm sorry." He told me seriously.
I stood there stunned. Scorpius Malfoy, jerk extraordinaire, had just told me that he was sorry. Not just anyone, me.
"What?" I said, unable to believe what I had just heard.
"I'm sorry Rose, for what I said yesterday. It was way out of line and I truly mean it when I apologise." He said and I couldn't doubt his sincerity. I could hear it in every word.
"Um well," I said slightly taken aback (okay I'm lying, I was very taken aback), "thank you for saying sorry."
"Don't mention it." he said and he turned around and walked towards the Transfiguration classroom. "You better hurry Weasley or you'll be late." He called over his shoulder.
"Thanks for that one Mr Point Out The Obvious." I countered back.
As I walked towards Transfiguration I couldn't quite believe my ears. Scorpius Malfoy had just apologised to me. And I could tell that he meant it. He also said my name, twice. It was incredible.
Within 24 hours I had come to the conclusion that Scorpius Malfoy was a kind, caring, considerate, smart, handsome, good Quidditch player, apologetic person. It was truly remarkable.
Stupid thoughts, I'm back on Scorpius. This was exactly what I was trying to avoid.
If I think about him so much then maybe I do like him? Maybe.
Author's note: Thanks for all the reviews guys.
So what did you think of this chapter? I quite liked it. I know it was a bit monologish and that nothing really happened but I thought it explained a lot. Aw Scorpius apologised, how sweet. Also Rose has come to the conclusion that she MIGHT like Scorpius, maybe. I loved the bit when she is thinking of Transfiguration to keep her mind off Scorpius but she is actually thinking about Scorpius, man that was fun to write.
Sorry about the Romeo and Juliet comparison. They are very similar in ideas. Plus we are doing that in English and the moment so my thoughts are thinking of that quite a bit. I really like the play, even if it is un-realistic and they barely know each other. But Shakespeare had to fit it into a few hour play so he did a good job. Sorry about the rambling.
So please review. Thanks heaps. You guys are the best.
