Today I woke up a bit later than usual and I knew it was Scorpius' fault. If he hadn't asked me to kiss him in return for my book I wouldn't have been thinking about it all night. It was a surprise to me that I had even gotten to sleep after that. The thing that got me to sleep was the fact that I told myself that it never happened even though it happened. But he didn't have to know that I was thinking about it and neither did anyone else.

In a rush to get to the Great Hall and not seem any different from yesterday, I rushed down the steps still buttoning my shirt.

As normal, instead of going straight to the Gryffindor table I went to the Slytherin's to say hi to Albus. My best friend and my favorite cousin. Don't tell Lily or James though. They each thought of their selves as the favorite anyway.

"Unless you're going for the sleazy look I suggest you button the rest of your shirt, Weasley."

Rolling my eyes I didn't even bother to pay attention to his sarcastic comment. Was it really anything new? No. I did however look to see that I had forgotten to button three buttons on my shirt in my rush to get down here. God, that's embarrassing. What was I thinking? I should have never rushed myself. Let this be a lesson to me from now on.

Blushing I buttoned them quickly before hugging Albus. I could tell that people had been watching me. I mean who doesn't watch you when you have your shirt half unbuttoned? They would probably start a rumor that I had been doing suggestive things with the person who entered the Great Hall before or after me. A bunch of Rita Skeeters they are.

"Hey, Rose. You seem pretty flustered today." I could see, as well as feel, his dark green eyes on me as he spoke. He was always looking out for me these days and I just shrugged as I shot Scorpius a glare. If he said one word about our kiss to Albus his new favorite subject would be Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Something on your mind, Weasley?" I heard Scorpius say from his side of the table. It was like he knew I was thinking about what happened yesterday. I wouldn't let him intimidate me though. I knew things about him that he wouldn't want his little girlfriend Violet to find out. Bribery at best I think.

"Actually, yes. I was just wondering if my shirt was still unbuttoned because you keep looking over here. See something you like?" I countered with a smile.

"Don't flatter yourself." He said before getting up and leaving the table. Everyone watched him while they still talked not wanting to seem to obvious. Scorpius Malfoy never leaves the Great Hall early because he hates going to class. And he certainly never leaves without his best friend Albus.

In no time Albus was facing me with a suspicious look on his face. He could go ahead and keep looking at me like that all day because I would never spill. I still hold secrets from first year; I can keep this one for just as long. Well, that is if Scorpius could keep his mouth closed, which was a particularly hard thing to do for him. In both snogging and talking terms.

"What happened between you two?"

"Nothing. Aren't we always like this? I don't see the difference in anything except for the fact that he left the Great Hall this time."

"Precisely." Albus said with a slight nod of his head. I could tell he was prying by now. He didn't usually care about me and Scorpius' relationship because by second year he had accepted the fact that we would never be friends. Now he was suddenly interested which could only mean that he was suspicious of something. And do you know what Potters do when they're suspicious of something. They get to the bottom of things and find out what they want. Good for me, right?

"Albie! How are things with you and the whore?" I mean since when wasn't a change of subject a good thing. Especially when things were zoning in on you.

"She's not a whore and I'm not going to keep telling you that."

And just like that he was gone too. Why was everyone leaving me these days? What did I do? So I called the girl he liked a whore, he should really stop being so defensive of her. It was rude though and I know I'll have to end up apologizing for it later but that'd have to wait. It wasn't really my fault anyway. He was prying and I needed a change of subject and that's what slipped out.

"Are you going to sit here all day because Weasleys don't belong at the Slytherin table? It's bad enough that you made Scorpius leave with your hideous looks. Do you want everyone else to leave to?"

True bitch, right? Just guess who it is. I'll give you a few moments to guess.

Well, if you guessed Violet Parkinson then you win. I guess I'll have to give you something in return. Okay, I know. If you guessed right I'll tell you one of my secrets. That's a privilege because I don't tell anyone these secrets except those they happened with.

"If I wanted to sit here all day I could. And if anything Scorpius left because of you." Okay I knew that wasn't exactly true but I'm hanging on the string here. I stood up from the table before adding, "If you've failed to hear the rumors around the school yet let me fill you in. I've heard he's getting tired of you. How that must hurt for you."

Guys, I must be on a roll today because that's when she got up from the table and left too. Who knew I was so good at making people leave? I'll be sure to write a letter home to my mum to see if she was as skilled at this as I am.

When I finally thought to move I realized that half the Slytherin table was looking at me. Boy they were probably pissed at me for making their friends leave. Or perhaps just curious. But then again I didn't make them leave. They left on their own. I just provoked them to?

Whatever. I needed to stop thinking things through so much. Sometimes I could think so much that my mom's brain probably hurt. That's one of the many prizes of being a Weasley. We always think too much. I know when I'm not wanted and it was definitely not then so I took my leave. Next stop: Potions class. Answering a few questions and getting praise should clear my mind right away. As long as I didn't have any distractions.
