Dislcaimer:I own nothing in this story.
AN: Hola everyone! I'm just answering -Argentinita- because the whole thing with Rose's 'problem' isn't going to come up for a while, but it's still there. I don't want to say anything else, but i'm just lettingyou know i haven't completly forgotten about it! Oh, and I'd like to apologize to anyone who doesn't like OCs, I usually don't like them but i had to make Rose friends that she wasn't related to. Here's the next chapter.
Chapter Six
Scorpius woke up early the next morning, which was suprising, seeing as he had stayed up all night writing to Rose. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, made sure his hair was perfectly messy, and then got dressed. After wearing jeans for the majority of the summer, Scorpius loathed having to put on the black pleated dress pants requred for his uniform. Since it was warm out he'd only wear the vest with the Slytherin emblem and the tie he always wore loose. It's not like he'd get in trouble for it. He never did.
Scorpius charmed a couple of Albus's books into weights and lifted them while he waited for the other boy to wake up. Merlin, that boy snored loud. Albus's snoring was getting to Scorpius so he tossed the weights on the his bed. Albus woke up then, and he picked up one of the weights, his eyes squinted. "What is this?"
"Those are your books. I was going to wait for you but by the time you're all done we'll be late."
"This is my book?! Malfoy change it back!"
Scorpius laughed and headed down to the common room. When he got to the bottom of the stairs, he was immediatly attacked by a girl with black hair. "Violet, get off of me." he said, the girl, Violet Goyle, had wrapped her arms around his neck and now had it in the death grip.
"Oh Scorpy! Your hair is so short! What happened? And I think we should talk! I've been thinking about you all summer and-"
"Violet." he said, grabbing his ex's arms and pulling them from around him as gently as he could. Then he dropped them to her sides and took a step back. "What is there to talk about, really? We broke up last year, right before school let out. We're over."
"You know you still have feelings for me, Scorpius. And look at me! Look at you! We are the perfect couple!"
Albus came down the stairs, still holding the weights. When he looked at Scorpius he laughed.
"Albus!" he said, slipping around Violet to be by Albus. "Hey buddy!"
"Oh, don't let me interrupt! Just talk to your girlfriend, Scorpius!"
Scorpius lowered his voice. "Help me, and I'll charm your books back. Don't help me, and... I don't know, I'll make out with Rose or something, just help me."
Albus glared at him but stuck out the weights. Scorpius turned them back into books and Albus walked between him and Violet. "So Vi, how was your summer-"
Scorpius didn't wait any longer, he took off at a run towards the portrait hole and didn't stop running until he was on the Grand Staircase. From there he walked, looking over his shoulder, just in case. He looked up to one of the higher levels, and saw Rose and her two friends walking down to breakfast. The mixed girl with brown hair, Katie her name was, elbowed Rose and they all looked down at him. He waved, and they all waved back. Rose did the heart with her hands and he did it back at her. From the looks her friends gave her, she must have left that part out.
He smiled to himself and walked to the Great Hall. He sat the most crowded part of the Slytherin table so that Violet wouldn't be able to sit by him. Turns out he was surrounded by frightened looking first years. He looked at a boy next to him who was gaping at him. "Hey there little buddy." he said, patting the boy on his head. "I'm Scorpius what's your name?"
"Benjamin. But you can call me Benny if you want to. Are you Scorpius Malfoy?"
"Yup." the boy looked shocked, but Scorpius had no idea why. "So, Benny. Since we're friends now can you do something for me?"
Benny nodded. "If you see a girl with short, really straight black hair, could you tell me right away?"
Benny smiled. "Okay!"
Scorpius hurried up and ate a few pieces of toast, and about ten pieces of bacon, half a plate full of eggs, and two cups of pupmkin juice. He needed his protein. When he finished, he looked up at the clock and he had a few minutes to get to class. "Bugger." he said, jumping up from his seat. He pat Benny on the head and thanked him before running out of the Great Hall.
His first class was History of Magic, which bored him to no end. He considered it luck that he got such good grades in that class. He ran through the door with a minute to spare. He looked around for somewhere to sit, and he saw Rose with an empty seat next to her, her two friends in front of her. Scorpius walked over and sat down next to her. "This seat taken?"
"I was saving it for you, Scorpius." she said, smiling.
"Oh, well... I forgot."
He looked at her friends, who were both staring at him. "Morning Charlotte. Morning Katie."
The blonde one seemed to be having a heart attack and Katie seemed close to swooning. Or maybe it was just his ego. "Morning Scorpius." they said in unison.
He laughed and looked at Rose, who was rolling her eyes at the two. He grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Bonjour Rose."
"Morning." she said, resting her hand in her lap. Professor Binns walked.. well, he more or less floated into the room. All talking ceased, except for whispers here and there. Two people actively whispering were Charlotte and Katie. Rose was trying to pay attention to the Professor, but she kept glancing next to her at Scorpius. He didn't even try to pay attention.
"Rosie." he whispered. "You know that you don't really need to listen. All he's droning on about is class expectations and what we're going to be going over this term. He does this for about the first week."
"I know, but he might say something important..."
"He won't. Trust me. It's not like I'm some dunce, I'm tied with you for the smartest. So I must be doing somrthing right."
"Yeah." she said, dropping her quill. "I guess you're right."
"I'm always right, Rosie."
"Of course you are."
"I am."
"You were almost late today."
"I know." he said.
"Why?"
"I eat a lot. And I kept making sure my crazy ex wasn't around."
Rose looked down at the piece of parchment with only a few notes written on it. "She's still not over you?"
Scorpius shook his head and sighed. "I'm starting to consider setting her up with your cousin, just to get her off my back."
Rose laughed, and had to cover her mouth so no one would hear. She looked up and to the front of the class, where Violet was slepping."You should. That would be too funny. It'd be even better if they actually fell for eachother."
"Potter would be pissed if we put him on a blind date with her, though."
"Oh, who cares? He'll get over it."
"You're so evil, Rose. I like it."
"Do you, now?" Rose rolled her eyes and hit him on the arm.
Charlotte turned around in her seat, and put on a fake irritated face. "Could you two please stop flirting? Some of us are attempting to learn in here!"
"Charlotte!" Rose exclaimed, louder than she'd meant to. The whole class turned around to look and Rose turned red. She buried her head in her hands, and Charlotte and Katie were laughing.
"What's the matter back there?" Professor Binns asked.
"Nothing, Sir." Scorpius said, smirking, "Nothing at all."
AN: i wasn't going to do a chapter like this, with classes and whatnot, but... i kind of just had to.
