Chapter 7

The not so best days of my life

Rose POV

Dreams do come true, Angels do exist and Miracles do happen, I still could not believe my Mortal enemy Scorpius Malfoy had become my slave for '7 Golden days'. The look on his face was incredible when I ordered him to polish my shoes in the morning and then he appeared more than shocked when I asked him to address me as 'Your Highness' for the entire time period he was my slave. I just can't recall any other time in my life when I had so much fun. My life was fab and I definitely was on cloud nine. There was no doubt that the next 7 days were going to be the best days of my life.

"Rose – Ah Sorry 'Your Highness' now if you are over with your day dreaming we just start with our practice, I've simply wasted lot of hours", said Scorpius. "Well Scorpius I think you have mistaken here. You are supposed to be my slave and not the other way round – do you get that", I replied.

''Ï definitely do, but your cousin Roxanne does not. She and her partner David Wood want a combined practice for all four of us" he said-" So if your highness is not so busy doing nothing I will kindly request you do give us the honour to see you dance" he added sarcastically.

Oh Merlin!- What was I supposed to do now? –

I was so much into making Malfoy's life hell that I actually forgot that even my own doom was not so far. Damn Lily! Damn her idea!. "Rose" he said moving his hand in front of my face, "Are you alive?"

"Look Scorpius I don't think I will be able to practice today. You know I have a severe backache." I lied.

"Bloody Hell, I have wasted four hours for nothing – If you weren't that well you should have informed me – do you realize I had to come all the way from 'Malfoy Manor', - But no why will 'Your highness' Rose Weasley do that – Why would she miss the pleasure of having a wizard disguised as a house elf at her service all day. You are wicked Rose– you are wicked," He shouted angrily.

I was slightly taken aback by his sudden outburst. Why was he shouting – weren't he aware of the fact that he was actually my house elf for a week. I had every right to check him then and there but there was something in his voice that stopped me. His voice was full of anger, disgust and defeat which suddenly made me a feel a bit uneasy. Whatever the reason was but in reality I hadn't won the competition at all. In fact I had not even performed. He on the other hand was actually good even though his competition was with a professional. And as far as the insult thing was concerned he had already been punished for it – Mind you he also apologised. So for the next 5 minutes I forgot the entire situation and could only see the pang of frustration on his face.

"OK Scorpius – Lets go – my backache is not a big deal" I said.

At this he gave the first genuine smile ever and it made my lips twitch too. . We smiled at each other for few moments before he said

"Fine I'll just call Roxie and David" and with that he left the room.

I continued smiling for a moment or two before realizing – Oh Damn! Bloody hell!l –Good Merlin! – What had I gotten myself into. The entire effort of Lily and mine was going to become a total waste in just a few minutes. My mind had stopped working and just then the three people whom I wished to see the least at that moment entered the room.

"Hi Rose! We've heard that miracles do happen – so finally our bookworm is going to dance" said Roxanne with a big smile on her face.

"Come on Rose, let's get started" said Scorpius.

My legs felt numb, my body felt heavy, my eyes started to burn and my head went all dizzy. I lifted my gaze to the 3 monsters beaming at me and it was so clear that other than their smiles that mouth also supported thousands of nasty words which were soon going to attack me.

Did I actually think these were going to be the best days of my life, I doubted for a second.

Even If I did these heavenly thoughts would no longer stay in my mind. These were definitely the 'not so best days of my life'.
