What girl can resist the Potter charm?
Chapter 2
Scorpius's pov.
"Scrop! Are you even listening to Magonagall's speech?" Al frowned, " that isn't like you, is everything ok?"
"yes everything's fine." I said shaking my head, "it's just, after 5 years of listening to the same speech… it's gets boring."
Al nodded his head, " true." he agreed.
"enjoy the feast!" Magonagall's voice rang out. And food appeared in front of everyone.
"finally! I'm staving." Jordan Wood, a fellow dorm mate exclaimed. Only to have his girlfriend Kim Zabini whack him in the head.
"have some manners!" she yelled at him.
"relax, Kim. He's just being a guy." Her friend Katie Smith told her sternly. "have you seem James Potter, this year?" she continued.
"yeah." Kim giggled, " I don't understand how that boy can get any hotter."
"Hey!" Jordan interrupted, " boyfriend sitting right here!"
While Katie laughed Kim lightly kiss Jordan on the cheek.
"don't worry, babe. He's not my type."
"that's disgusting! He's my brother." Al said.
" James is so hot" I imitated a 4th year girls voice. Everyone laughed and Al whacked me in the head.
"shut up Scorp!" he lowered his voice " don't want my cousin to hear you think James is attractive, that would send the wrong message. Wouldn't it?"
That shut me up.
"very funny" I said threw clenched teeth
"what do you think there talking about over there?"
"I don't know, Al." I said looking at the back of Rose's heads at the Gryffindor table. She was facing opposite me. So I could only see the back of her head. She was sitting beside Alice longbottom and speak of the devil, James Potter. Across from her was Mel, who was sitting beside Anna Roberts and Loran Scamander. Oh no….
"why does she have to sit next to Scamander?" Al said putting his head in his hands.
"I'm sure it's nothing." I tell him, patting his back.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Jordan whispers to Al, looking back in forth from Kim to Katie making sure they were still deep in conversation.
"it's no secret Scamander fancies her." he begins calmly, " I'd start making my move if I were you."
" on the train, I passed by his compartment." he continued, " and it looks like he's going to ask her to be his girlfriend soon."
"how soon." Al asks.
"Very soon."
"Al, it's okay. I have a plan" I say .
"Really what?" Al asks.
"easy, I just have to interrogate Rose. Since there best mates, they must know who the other fancies."
"good plan" Jordan adds.
"yeah, okay that just might work" Al concludes.
We finished eating the feast and Jordan, Kim and I head to the common room. While both Al and Katie, both prefects must take care of the first years.
"Scorpius!" I look around the common room for whoever had called my name. in the corner sitting on one of the black leather couches was Selena Goyle. Great …
"bye guys." I say to Kim and Jordan who I'm sure are happy to see me leave so they can have some time alone.
"hi Scorpy." she says when I make my way over to her.
"hi Selena." god I hate it when she calls me that. Selena takes a piece of her dirty blonde hair and twirls it around her finger.
"how was your summer? Did you miss me?"
"huh….. I played quidditch, a lot, with Al. That's it." hopefully by not asking about her vacation she can see that I don't want to talk to her.
" how is Albus? She says while giggling.
"good'
"oh look there he is." she makes to get up, but I stop her.
" sorry Selena, but me and Al have to do something in our dorm. Bye" I walk away form her quickly and make my way to Al.
"you didn't mean to, but you just saved me." he laughs and asks, "Selena just as clingy as last year?"
"YES!" Were in are dorm room by now. I sit on my bed and so does Al. looking around I see all my stuff already but away.
"How was prefect duty?' I ask.
"Great" he sighs " I ran into Mel and Rose."
"Oh really?"
"yeah, Rose got prefect, no surprise there."
I laugh " yeah no surprise" I look at the time. 7:30 pm, I take of my robe and start undressing.
"You mind if I take a shower?" I ask Al.
"Nope, go ahead."
"wait. Why was Melanie with Rose? She didn't get prefect two, did she?"
" No" Al sighs again and flops on his bed. " she wanted to say goodnight to me." he says in a lovey dovey voice.
" I can't wait to see her tomorrow." he adds, looking at the picture of the four of us in his desk.
" you're hopeless, Al."
