We pushed open the doors and entered the Great Hall. I guess the sorting had just gotten over because the First years were already seated at their respective house tables. As we entered, there was silence and all eyes were on us. This happened every year, except all the previous years I was the one looking at the Heads enter and now I am being looked at. This is what I always wanted. Since First year it was my dream to be the Head Girl one day and I've worked damn hard to achieve that goal.
"Ah! I was wondering when you two would get here, I was wondering whether one of you had killed the other and fled" said Mcgonagall, smiling that smile of hers.
"That could have been a huge possibility Headmistress" screamed Alex from the Gryffindor table and everyone started laughing, even Mcgonagall. I looked down at the floor, blushing and Malfoy just smirked and said, "We're here now Headmistress and as you can clearly see neither of us have been killed by the other, not yet anyway".
Everyone laughed again, bloody charmer.
"That's a good start then Mr. Malfoy, now let me introduce you all formally to the Head Girl and Head Boy of this academic year, Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy"
Everyone clapped and cheered. I smiled nervously at them while Malfoy, being the arse that he is took a grand bow and forced me curtsey. Idiot. He was such a show off.
"You can take your seats now Mr Malfoy, Ms. Weasley"
We did as we were told. I took a seat next to Alex and Malfoy sat next Al, right opposite me. Wait, why were we all sitting together again?
"Let the feast begin"
Immediately dishes magically appeared on the table in front of us and Alex and Al jumped in without a second thought and in seconds their plates were filled with food. Even with magic the plates wouldn't be able to carry anything else, I swear. Jenny and I shared a disgusted look. It had been five years and we still weren't used to Alex's humongous appetite and his lack of table etiquette. Al was the same; he loved food as much as he loved Quidditch. These boys, what do I do with them?
"Al, slow down. The food isn't going anywhere. I know that manners aren't really your priority at all but please show mercy to all of us and eat like a normal human being" said Malfoy with a very disgusted look on his face.
"Phsuck obf Malfhhoy" said Al with a mouth full of food.
"If any of you didn't get that, it was 'Fuck off, Malfoy', wasn't it Al?" said Malfoy.
"Wdfight yvoue asrre" said Al, again with a mouth full of food.
This was disgusting.
"And that was 'right you are' " said Malfoy.
"Whfadt toofk yvoue tso loonsgh?" questioned Al, looking at Malfoy and me. I took that as a question as he had a quizzical expression on his face, if it weren't for that I wouldn't be able to tell what he had said at all. Jen and I had made a deal with Alex, we would let him eat in peace without commenting on the way he ate or the amount he ate if he never opened his mouth when food was in it.
"What the hell did he just say?" Jen asked Scorpius.
"He said, ' what took you so long' " answered Malfoy. Al nodded at him appreciatively.
"How can you understand what he is saying, I can't make out even a single word" exclaimed Jen.
"He's been my best friend for the past six years, if I can't understand him who else will?" smirked Malfoy.
I instantly stiffened at his words. At a point of time I could understand what Al was saying without any difficulty too, he had been my best friend then. I was the translator then. Now, I don't even know him as well as I used to know him. He was almost a stranger. Malfoy knew him so much better than I did, now. I hadn't wanted this, Al was supposed to be my best friend, always. Malfoy took that away from me and I can't say whether I'll ever forgive him for that.
Jen noticed me stiffening and shot me a warning look instantly. I gave her a small nod. I had to control my feelings, I can't let all of it out, it'll ruin everything, unfortunately, Malfoy noticed me stiffening too and when I looked up at him he was already looking at me, eyebrows creased with curiosity. I raised my eyebrows at him and he looked away.
I hate him.
We finished with the food. It was delicious as always and had just finished making sure that the prefects were ushering the students back to the dormitories when Professor McGonagall approached us.
"Mr Malfoy, Ms Weasley if you will now follow me I'll lead you to the Head's dorm" she said.
Wait, what?
"Um Headmistress, Head's dorms? We've never had Head's dorms before." I said.
"Thank you Ms Weasley, I had no idea."
Woah, was she just sassy with me? Malfoy started laughing and when I glared at him, he started coughing, trying to cover it up. Prick.
"Anyway, the other professors and I decided that we would like you to have the privilege of having your own dorms." said McGonagall.
"Thank you Headmistress" said Malfoy.
"Yes, thank you Headmistress" I said.
We then followed her to the seventh floor and we reached a portrait of a mermaid sitting on a pile of rocks, her hair softly blowing against the wind. She was beautiful. Well, of course, she is a mermaid.
"Here we are children, all you have to do now is set a compatible password and you're good to go. I'll leave you two to it then" she said and with a swish of her robes she disappeared around the corridor corner.
"Okay, how about 'Hogwarts: A History'?" I suggested.
"How boring can you get Weaslette?"
"Can you come up with something better then, Malfoy?" I challenged.
"Of course: Scorpius Malfoy is a sexy beast" he smirked.
"I can't deny that" said the mermaid with a musical voice and a sultry wink at Malfoy.
"Don't be stupid, you prat" I snapped.
"How about 'Weasley is annoying and irritating'?"
I reached across and whacked him across his head.
"That's a no then?" he said.
I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Alright alright, don't get your knickers in a twist"
"How about ' Godric Gryffindor'?" I asked.
"No".
"Never tickle a sleeping dragon?"
"Nope"
"The Golden Trio?"
"No thanks, I'd rather not have to remember my parents' great achievements every time I need to get into my dorm" I said.
"Okay I've got one, 'Quidditch'?" He said.
"Perfect" I grinned.
So we set the password and got into our dorms, not before the mermaid shot another sultry wink at Malfoy. He smirked at her and blew her a kiss. Jesus, I have to live with this every day?
We went in and I stopped in my tracks at the sight in front of me. The whole place was gorgeous. One whole wall was covered with shelves after shelves of books while another wall was covered with huge curtains covering, what I hope is a bay window. Across the curtained wall were plush, maroon sofas and a couch which looked incredibly comfortable. In front of the sofas was a huge fireplace with a granite mantle with various magazines on top of it and a couple of candles, arranged with perfection. Beside the fireplace, there were two desks facing each other.
The remaining walls were a deep maroon with strips of gold in some places. It was perfect. So...Gryffindor.
I looked at Malfoy and he was gaping just like me.
"Ah! The perks of being a Head" he sighed. I couldn't help but agree with him.
There were two staircases, facing opposite directions which I assume would lead to our rooms. I ran up one and was faced a door with the words ' Head Boy' curved onto them. I ran back down and told Malfoy that that was his room. He started to go towards his staircase when he suddenly stopped.
"You know the charm that turns the stairs into a slide and prevents guys from entering the girls' dormitories? You reckon it works here too?" He asked.
I shrugged, "There's only one way to find out, I'll go get Alex or Al."
He glared me. "Don't question my masculinity Weasley"
He went up the other staircase and nothing happened. Damn it. He came back down with a triumphant look on his face.
"See, this is why I was questioning your masculinity Malfoy" I smirked.
"Oh yeah? Let me just show you how masculine I am" he said and with that he chased me around the whole place and I finally ran up my staircase praying for him to give up and go away. I opened the door and was just about to run inside and lock it when I heard a scream behind me.
"What the fuck?" said Malfoy. I came down the stairs to find him sprawled across the floor.
"It just turned into a slide!" He exclaimed.
"What? It hadn't the previous time, I saw you walk up the stairs!"
"You think I am lying? Watch." He said and walked up the stairs again, cautiously. Nothing happened.
"This thing is fucking with me" he frowned.
"I swear it turned into a slide and I slipped down" he said.
Wait. I think the stair turns into a slide only when I don't want guys to be able to access my room, otherwise it just remains as a staircase. The second time Malfoy walked up the stairs I was praying for him to go away, so the stairs changed into a slide to prevent him from coming into my room. Wow.
"Malfoy, why don't you climb up again?"
He did so and I kept repeating, ' don't let him into my room' in my head.
And immediately the stairs changed into a slide and Malfoy came crashing down and fell onto a floor with a thud. I started laughing and laughed until my stomach hurt, it was hilarious.
I looked up to see Malfoy glaring at me.
"What in the name of Merlin's left sock, is happening?" he yelled.
"Woah. The stairs "listen" to you don't they. You can choose whether you want to let a guy up them or not?" He asked.
"Give the boy an award! Bingo, Malfoy! That's exactly what they do." I grinned.
"Bloody hell" he said.
"Wait, maybe that happens with my stairs too. Care to give it a shot?" He asked.
I shrugged, sure.
I walked up his staircase and nothing happened. He asked me walk up again, this time he was "asking" the stairs not to let me into his room. I climbed up again and nothing happened. Ha!
"Fucking hell, that's not fair!" he exclaimed.
"Aw you poor baby, are you disappointed? It's okay Malfoy, don't get your knickers in a twist" I smirked.
"Shut it Weaslette" he said and stalked up his staircase.
"Whatever, Ferret" I called after him and went up my own staircase. My room was perfect. The bed was queen sized; I had my own bay window which over looked the grounds and the Black Lake. The closet was huge and the bathroom...had two doors. What the hell? I opened the other door and walked right into Malfoy's room. Shit. We have to share a bathroom? He yelled in alarm when he saw me and started whining about how he can't share a bathroom with me and how unfair life was.
"Get over it Malfoy, please try not to cry your eyes out" I snapped and went back into my room. I placed a charm on my door, thus blocking Malfoy's entry into my room. Oh by the way, the bathroom was just as gorgeous as the rest of the place. I could get used to all this.
I took off my sneakers and jumped onto my bed, Merlin, it was so bloody comfortable. I immediately fell asleep.
