A/N: Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated, I really feel terrible. I'm just distraught because 1D is in Australia and I don't have tickets AND when they come back to do a proper tour I'll be on an exchange in another country *sigh*

Enough with me though, if you have any ideas for this story please feel free to shout them out because I only really have another 4 chapters of ideas left...

CHAPTER 15 - THURSDAY

"Montrose will win," Lily said.

"Please," Hugo scoffed "we all know that Kenmare will win."

"Who is Kenmare again?" Rose whispered to Louis.

Louis laughed and then whispered, "They're an Irish team. The ones in the emerald green robes with the two yellow K's back to back. They were founded in 1291."

"Right," Rose said nodding "and what does the other K stand for?"

"Kestrels," Louis replied.

"And who is most likely to win?"

"Montrose," Louis snorted "your brother is delusional."

"It's true," James said, sitting down in the stands next to them, joining the conversation "the day Kenmare win is the day when you will finally admit you like Scorp, otherwise known as never because you're stubborn."

Louis chuckled and Rose whacked James over the head. Luckily for James he still had a Chaser's skill and ducked just in time. "I don't...it is not even worth it," Rose huffed.

"Exactly," James agreed "because you know I'm right cuz."

Rose rolled her eyes but couldn't help but look over at Scorpius. He sat wordlessly with Albus as they watched the players set up. The thing about the two boys was that out of them, Teddy, James, Victoire and Hugo, they were the analysers. They watched the game, the layout and the players intently, trying to think ahead and predict.

"Fuck," Scorpius suddenly hissed.

Albus turned his head and looked at him, "I know."

"What? What do you know? Spit it out! Work your Quidditch-Seer magic." Victoire demanded.

"Kenmare is going to win," Scorpius said, shaking his head angrily "damn it, I tipped Montrose."

"So did I," Albus said, his lips pursed together, subtly showing his annoyance.

"Are you shitting me?" Victoire gaped "Kenmare is not going to win!"

"They will," Scorpius and Albus said at the same time.

"Told you," Hugo smirked.

"Oh shut it Weasley," Lily retorted "it is not possible for Kenmare to win. The day they win will be when stubborn 1 and stubborn 2 shack up."

"Told you," James grinned at Rose. Luckily, Scorpius was absorbed in a conversation with Albus and didn't hear Lily. Rose glared at her.

Suddenly the crowd roared; the game had begun. Dominique frowned; she was not one for loud audiences. It was quite amusing the way that they all seemed to move unconsciously into groups. Louis huddled next to Rose and Dominique as to keep them up to speed with the match, Albus and Scorpius stood together looking very absorbed and fixed, and James, Teddy, Victoire, Hugo and Lily all stood together screaming, shouting and groaning together.

It was also amusing how either Albus or Scorpius would comment on something that hadn't happened yet, then the fanatic group would make a sound of defeat and then Louis clarify what was going on.

"Don't pass it right," Scorpius muttered "Roren in will intercept." Albus buried his head in his hands.

Ten seconds later Roren did intercept and scored a goal. "What the fuck was that?" Victoire cried.

"You complete idiot!" Lily exclaimed.

"Good goal," Hugo clapped. Lily hit him on the head.

"See, now that was a bad move because..." Louis explained to his sister and Rose.

"Why in the hell would you put Lochisano as Beater? He's played three games in his entire career!" Victoire exclaimed. "That is stupid!"

"Vic," James sighed "we need to get a team together. Albus as seeker, Teddy, Lily and me as Chasers, you as Beater and Hugo as Keeper."

"You're missing a Beater, genius." Victoire pointed out.

"Scorpius is a Seeker though," James said "I suppose we could train him up as a Beater."

"Okay," Victoire snorted "the kid needs some more meat on his bones for that."

"We should do it Vic," James pressed "just for fun though. Join a local Quidditch club."

"You know, it's actually not a bad id– What in Merlin's name was that?" she shrieked. The entire stadium seemed to groan as Kenmare scored another ten points. "You absolute retard! Where did you learn how to play Quidditch?"

"Where is the team work?" Lily shouted "Where are the strategies? How about something simpler, like where are your brains?"

"I can't watch," Victoire said "I'm going to kill someone."

"What are they doing?" Teddy groaned "Come one Montrose, get it together. Yes that's it, to Holton...then to– good...now to Kli– no!"

"Kill me!" Victoire exclaimed "Kill me now! Seeing as Lochisano does not know how to use a bat why doesn't he give it to me so I can teach him how to use it...by beating some sense into him."

Scorpius stood up. "I'm going to get some food, do you want anything Al?"

"No thank you," Albus replied, his eyes not leaving the match.

Scorpius walked over to where James' group was. "Do any of you wa–"

"NO!" they all snapped and then turned back to the game.

"No need to behave like animals," Scorpius mumbled. He walked over to Dominique, Louis and Rose. "I'm going to buy some food; did any of you want anything?"

"A butterbeer for the three of us?" Louis asked the two girls. They nodded.

"Rose you go with Scorpius, Louis cannot have both of us leave." Dominique said to Rose.

Rose nodded, "Alright." she stood up and went with Scorpius.

"Trés bien," Louis noted to his sister as Scorpius and Rose walked off. Dominique smiled quietly. While she may have been reserved she was nonetheless aware or clever.

"So..." Scorpius said awkwardly as they both stood in line "how are you finding the match?"

"Interesting," Rose replied.

Scorpius laughed. "You don't understand one bit of it do you?"

"Not really, no." Rose smiled.

"So you always came to watch Al and I play but you never fell in love with Quidditch? I don't think we did our job properly then." Scorpius said.

'I didn't fall in love with the game, no.' Rose thought 'something else though...'

"Well in seeing that you won all of your games I believe you did your job rather well," Rose replied. Scorpius smiled and Rose blushed, he pretended not to notice. He changed the subject.

"So what are you doing tomorrow?" he asked, even though it would be a week day and there would only be one answer.

"Working," she said with a shrug "you?"

"Same," he said "but I start early, it's a Friday thing." Rose gave him a sympathetic look. "Actually," he added "I'm going to see Charlotte tomorrow in the evening."

"Charlotte?"

"Zabini," Scorpius clarified "she was in our year at Hogwarts."

"No I remember her," Rose said. She looked somewhere else, hoping to Merlin that Scorpius wouldn't notice her change of demeanour. She sighed soundlessly, it was her own fault. She should have asked him out when she had had the chance.

"Four butterbeers please," Scorpius said to the man serving them at the counter.

She felt so disappointed and...sad. Her continuingly telling herself to keep it together was the only thing stopping her eyes from watering up.

She didn't know that Scorpius had been interested Charlotte Zabini. Had he told Albus? The three of them talked about everything. Rose couldn't think of a thing that she hadn't told them both...save her feelings for Scorpius. But that was because she would have been telling Scorpius himself so that didn't count. So why hadn't he said anything?

"Rose?" Scorpius called "Grab those two and let's head back up?"

Rose picked up the two butterbeers and nodded, "Yeah, okay."
