What girl can resist the Potter charm?

Chapter 6

Mel's pov.

"ring, ring, RING!" I open my eyes to see the harsh light of the sun seeping threw my window. I run my hands over my face and grab my wand from my night table. Flicking my wand and muttering the appropriate incantation, my alarm clock glows a bright orange and stops ringing. I look over to my right and see Rose's bed empty and unmade. Oh wait, the events of last night come flowing back and I remember everything. Theo grabbing me and fixing my fight with Lorcan. Looking for Al and them finding him. And I can't forget kissing him. After the kiss we had both blushed like crazy and Al had grinned stupidly at me the whole way as he walked me back to Gryffindor tower. And while we'd said goodnight he'd kissed me again. I remember stumbling into the common room and giggling all the way up to my dorm room. Rose had been there and right away she asked me where I'd been. Apparently she'd finished her study session with Scorpius and had come looking for me. When she hadn't found me she'd gone back to the common room hopping I'd be there. Witch I hadn't and she then began telling me all about how she'd been worried sick. After I'd apologized I told her all about finding Al in the little nook behind the book shelves. And what had transpired behind them. She was ecstatic of course, saying how we were the perfect couple. I was just happy she wasn't mad that I'd snogged her cousin.

I'm snapped out of my thought when I hear the water running. I guess one of my dorm mates are taking a shower. I get out of bed and look around for my fuzzy slippers I see them in front of my big dresser that has a big mirror on top. I bend down to put them on and when I straiten up I look at myself in the mirror. My dark green eyes still look sleepy and my hair is looking pretty wild. My pj's consist of a green pair of boy shorts and a white tank top with little snowflakes on it. I'd gotten them last Christmas. I turn around when the bathroom door opens and Rose comes out.

"Hey Albus Potters Girlfriend!" she calls happily. I roll my eyes at her and twirling a piece of my hair I say, " well I'm not sure if I'm his girlfriend yet. We didn't really talk about it."

"oh" she says, "well this morning when we go down to breakfast go sit with him and ask him."

"but- no buts," Rose interrupts " you know he's in love with you so don't sweat a thing."

"okay, fine. But at lease come with me?" I ask hopefully.

"I will, but just because you're my bets mate." she says with a wink.

"where is everyone?' I ask getting dressed.

"they're in the common room." Rose replies already dressed and putting her makeup on. I fix my hair and roll my skirt up like I always do. I put mascara on and some vanilla scented chap stick.

"c'mon." rose urges grabbing my hand and stepping down the stair to the common room two at a time.

"I can't wait to see this!"

Rose and I step threw the double doors of the great hall. She's holding my hand and practically dragging me to the Slytherin table. I see Al and Scorp sitting with a bunch of there friends. There s a big space in between Al and Scorp. They must be saving a spot for someone.

"oh look, Mel." Rose says enthusiastically. " they saved you a spot."

I swallowed hard "I have butterflies in my stomach."

"you'll get over it."

Scorpius notices us first and throws a wink my way.

"hey Al! look it's you're girlfriend." he says loud enough that anyone within hearing range looks around and stares at me. Al jumps out of his seat and turns around to face me.

"hey Mel. I saved you a spot… I thought you could eat breakfast with me." he asks hopefully giving me a sheepish grin.

"of course" I say grinning back. As I'm sitting down Rose taps Scorp on the shoulder and asks, " do you think there's room for one more?"

"always" he says nodding enthusiastically.

"you look beautiful, Mel." Al says, eyes shinning. He reaches out for my hand and I meet him halfway giving him my hand to hold.

"thanks." I blush and kiss his cheek. " Al, am I you're girlfriend?

"Merlin, I hope so." he replies caressing my cheek.

"ask me"

"will you be my girlfriend?" he looks nervous, witch makes him even cuter. Like I'd ever say no.

"yes." I say a grab his tie and start snogging him right there in the middle of the Slytherin table.

"cough, cough, cough." I pull away from Al long enough for see our friends all looking at us.

" where still here you know." Jordan says pretending to shield his eyes.

" you guys are so cute." Katie giggles making a heart with her hands.

"thanks Katie" I say leaning closer to Al as he casually throws his arm around my shoulders. I look around and see a lot of people looking at us.

"I'm sure everyone is going to be talking about this today." Kim says looking at us expectantly, " and I'll have the inside scoop." she squeals.

"c'mon, Kimie. You can interrogate Melanie on her way to class. Let her eat in peace." Jordan says chucking.

"Why do you look like you just got hit with a stunning spell, Al?" Scorp asked with amusement. His trademark smirk played on his lips. He was looking at his best friend across the table with laughter in his eyes.

"Well, Scorpius, my good man, I am simply stunned by my beautiful girlfriend of course," he answered airily as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Ah, yeah I should've figured," Scorp grinned.

"Even I could've told you that," Rose interjected.

"Do you think this Penelope Trimble was happy?" Scorp asks.

I pause, "Um... Well... She wrote a DADA textbook..."

"So that's a 'no', then?'

"yes that's a no." I snort and look back a the front of the classroom and try and pay attention to what Professor Wimbly, our DADA Professor is giving us a lecture on. It's our last class of the morning and I can't wait for lunch. I can hear my stomach growling and Scorp gives me a funny look. I hadn't been able to eat my breakfast in peace because after about 10 minutes a swarm of girls started to ambush our table a ask me questions about Albus. Witch is the funny thing, you'd think they'd know better then to go up to a girl and ask if her boyfriend is a good kisser? Or if you've met Mr. Potter yet? It was ridicules. But it's all worth it for Al. This morning I could tell he felt really bad, it was so cute watching him try and shoo the girls away and only make it worst. The bell rings and I grab all my book and put them in my bag. Rose, Jordan and Megan Chase, me and Rose's dorm mate who I hung out with a lot, all came to me and Scorp's table to meet up. My stomach grumbles again and I can't help but pout. Merlin, I'm hungry. I look up when I hear a soft chuckle right beside me. I know right away it's my boyfriend Al. he throws his arm around me and gives me an effortless smile.

"Love, you hungry?" he asks smirking.

"As you can hear," I reply kissing his cheek, " I am."

We all leave the DADA classroom and start walking towards the great hall.

''Hey, Albus, how many Slytherin's does it take to stir a cauldron?'' Meagan asks suddenly. I roll my eyes at her but Al's just grins.

''I honestly don't know how many Slytherin's it takes to stir a cauldron.'' I he admitted after a brief pause.

''Two,'' Meagan explained, ''One to blackmail a Hufflepuff to do it, and one to take the credit!'' she concludes smiling. We all laugh and after some more chitchat were in the great hall. We decide to all sit together at the Gryffindor table. Since you don't have to sit at your house table unless it's dinner. I sit down beside Meagan, Roxanne and Jake, on my left there's my amazing boyfriend Al, his brother James and his cousin Fred. Across from us there Caroline, Alice, Lorcan, my best mates Rose and Scorpius, Jordan and Anna. Right away I start stuffing my face and everyone digs in. the food is amazing and we all sit and chat nicely. Rose and Scropius both reached for the backed potato's and there hands brush each others, they look into each others eyes then quickly look away blushing.. We all shared a smile, it was obvious Rose and Scorpius liked each other but they were too tick to realise it, I felt a hand on mine and looked down and saw that it was Albus's, he was laughing and joking with James, I smiled to myself and squeezed his hand, he turned to me and grinned. This was going to be a good year, I could just feel it.

He grins up at me, his green eyes glowing. Then, without warning, his lips are on mine. It's at that moment that I become aware of many things all at once. His hair smells really, really good. The scent of it wipes all thoughts from my mind. His hands are smooth as they run through my hair. Finally we must come up for air. I look around Al's dorm room. I've only ever been in here a couple of times. The big canopy beds are green and silver. And on the walls there is a big Slytherin crest. After class's had finished, I'd found Al waiting for me outside my last class. We'd wanted so time alone, so he'd snuck me into the Slytherin common room and we'd gone up to his dorm room. We'd talked and laughed but inevitably we'd ended up snogging each other senseless. Well, that's what 3 years of bent up sexual tension can give you.

"What time is it?" I ask suddenly.

"4 I think. Why?" it's 4 already! That's not good.

"I have to go, Al.'

We hug goodbye, him holding me tightly. The warmth of his breath as it blows freshly against my ear sends shivers running up and down my spine.

"your cold." it's not a question." he gets up from the bed and start looking threw his dresser.

"I'm not really- nonsense. You'll just have to wear my Slytherin sweater." he interrupts me and throws me his sweater. It land on my head, he chuckles, looking down at me expectantly. I bring it close to me to inspect when that scent that is purely Al hits my nose. Perfect!

"it's perfect Al, thanks." I throw my arms around him and hop off his bed. I put on his sweater and all I can smell is him. I love it. We walk down to stairs to his common room. I see Scorp with a bunch of people in one corner, so I quickly kiss Al goodbye and leave the Slytherin common room.
