A little mystery to figure out

Rose walked down the pale yellow hallway from the sixth year girls' room towards the Hufflepuff common room. She had tossed and turned all night, waking after a light doze in a sweat. She had told herself that she and Scorpius were just friends; however that didn't prevent the thoughts of what it would be like if they weren't just friends to intrude. As a result she had gotten up a lot earlier than normal, time which she spent trying to make it appear that she was well rested (all the while thinking that her mother would be disappointed she didn't use the extra time to study. Rose found herself giggling a bit at the thought).

"Good morning Rose." Rose twirled around to see Scorpius leaning against the wall smiling at her. Part of her wondering why she had reacted so to his voice, knowing full well they always went to breakfast together. Her heart sped up at his grin. Wait, that wasn't right.

"Good morning Scorpius." Rose smiled at her friend with no visible trace of what was running through her mind.

"Did you sleep well?" He stood up from the wall and walked towards her, offering an arm. Rose smiled and took it.

"It wasn't the best of nights." She admitted as they turned to leave the room.

"Oh?" Scorpius looked at her with a concerned face as they made their way upstairs to the Great Hall.

"Just some thoughts that wouldn't leave me alone." Rose said her mind settling back on those confused thoughts. Scorpius looked at the brunette who was biting her lip. Was Rose going to tell him what these thoughts were finally? It must have to do with what was wrong last night. Scorpius waited, expecting. Rose looked up to see Scorpius glancing at her. The girl knew he was waiting for her to confide in him.

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing." Rose smiled as Scorpius' heart fell. She wasn't going to tell him. They had been friends for years, talking to each other about everything and anything and yet Rose was keeping secrets from him. She never did that, ever. Not even about how her father had jokingly said not to get too friendly with him. Of course Rose wasn't sure if Ron really was joking or just saying it in a joking tone. But the point was Rose had told him this even though most would have not said it to spare his feelings.

Both friends were so absorbed in thoughts; it took them both by surprise when they realized they had reached the breakfast table. Scorpius sat down next to Rose and loaded up his plate without looking at the girl. His hands were shaking with anger as he stuck his fork into some scrambled eggs.

"Scor?" He looked up at Rose who was looking at him with concern, her eyes widened and she recoiled as she saw the anger on her best friend's face. Scorpius dropped his fork and got up, stalking out of the Great Hall, leaving a very upset and confused Rose Weasley behind him. She got up and fled out of the Great Hall, a few of the other students wondering what was going on.

Rose sat in her dorm shaking as she wrapped her arms around her legs. She didn't care about missing class. Scorpius was mad at her and she had no idea why, not just mad, but furious. That look in his eyes that was directed at her, she had never seen anything like it. Sure they had had arguments in the past, but there was some communication and she knew what was going on. Today however, after walking to breakfast like normal she had looked at him and his eyes were filled with fury and he had then gotten up and stalked out. It came out of nowhere. It was a mystery that she would have to try to figure out if things were to go back to normal.

Scorpius sat in Potions by himself. Rose hadn't shown up for class. Not just Potions but, any of their classes, which was unlike her. Her mother had a lot of influence on how Rose treated school. Scorpius knew it was because of him. He breathed heavily, trying to calm himself down. He still felt nauseous as he thought of Rose. Normally she had some warning when he was mad at her, and usually she was just as mad right back at him. Of course normally she told him everything and didn't keep secrets. Scorpius jerked up as all the other students filed out past him. He hadn't even realized class was over. He gathered his stuff and made his way out slowly. His mind went over all the possibilities of what it was that Rose could possibly be keeping from him. None of them sat right. It was a complete mystery to him.

A.N. Thanks for reading and for the reviews, alerts etc. Now recently one of my stories when I posted the next to last chapter I made a comment about how I wanted to reach 100 reviews, meaning for that chapter and for the last one I've yet to post, thinking I'd get up to like 85 if I was lucky. I'm now up to 98 and it's very possible I'll reach 100 before I post the last chapter. So apparently all I have to do is give you a number and I'll reach it. (Ok I know I was just lucky but a girl can dream right?) So I would love to get up to 15 reviews (if not more) by next week. (I hope to post a chapter once a week for this story.) Just say hey I like this, or I think that, this could use some work, I'm not so sure of, I would love to see, etc. Seriously opening my email to see reviews makes my day if not week.

A.T. So there must be a thing as a male veela right? Cause Fleur is part veela, so in order to have a 'whole' veela, there's got to be a male. Unless veelas have some sort of alternative to producing other veelas.

As always thanks for reading, reviewing and feel free to respond with your thoughts on my thoughts (leave a little review on the story in there too please). Oh and to the Americans, Happy fourth!
