"I think that does it." rose said to herself as she finished the last bit of makeup on her face even if it was just a thin line of eyeliner, concealer, and mascara.
She picked up her school bag off of her bed as she walked quickly towards the door and down the stairs.
She began to hum a tune to herself as she descended the wooden flight of stairs. It was a simple tune that her mother always hummed when she was busy in the kitchen during Roses' summer months.
"That's a lovely tune." a masculine voice said behind her making her jump.
"And why would you care Malfoy? As far as I am concerned you have no care in your mind for anything that I do." she snapped as she whirled around and stood face to face with him. No more than an inch separated their faces. her face flushed and she turned around stomping out of the common room and toward her first class. When she had excited the door she took off at a sprint and slowed down when she was far enough away.
Damn him. Damn his intoxicating smell. Damn his gray eyes.She didn't know how much longer she was going to be able to ignore him, she knew exactly why Professor McGonagall had paired them up. Not only where the scholar students, but they had strong chemistry.
As she stormed off to her first class, Charms, she had time to cool down and enter the room with a cheerful smile. "Good Morning Mrs. Potter" it took everything in her will to not run over to her Aunt and hug her. Ginevera "Ginny" Molly Potter had seen them off the train yesterday and spent the evening with Harry after attending the start of term banquet, before apparating to Hogwarts early that morning for classes. She was pleased to see her Aunt still teaching charms, it made thing much more enjoyable when she was able to come to her Aunt to talk. Uncle harry occasionally popped into Defense Against the Dark Arts on the request of Professor Thomas.
While Rose took her seat in her normal spot, in the middle of the center row. while students filed in she noticed no one chose to sit with her, all her friends from Ravenclaw took Potions first with Professor Zabini.
Everyone else around her felt that sitting with the head Girl would make them look like they are trying to suck up so that they don't get points off if they would get caught by her. Rose groaned and hit her head on her desk a little too hard which caused her Aunt to come over to her.
"Is everything alright Rose?" she asked as she put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Rose looked up and gave a small smile "Everything is swell Professor, but maybe I will come and talk to you during lunch please?" she asked whispering the last part to her aunt so no one else could hear.
"Of course my dear, my door is always open for a relative." she said before returning to her front of the class to begin her lesson for the day.
At the last moment the door opened and closed and Rose turned to look to see who it was and saw Scorpious walk in. His eyes looking around the room for an empty seat when his eyes landed on Rose and the empty seat at her desk. "No no no no no." she whispered to herself as he walked towards her.
He sat down and Rose looked straight at the front of the classroom not even looking his direction. This was definitely going to be a very, very long year.
***
The rest of classes went very quickly she only had to sit with Scorpious in Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Potions.
She quickly made it to to common room and up her stairs to the confines of her room. She made sure one of the chairs was in front of the damn adjoining door and she began on some of the already assigned homework.
When she finished her assignments from Charms, which consisted of a five paragraph paper on her favorite charm and why, her Runes work of decoding the assignment and then writing it out. She leaned back and noticed that she had been sitting there for so long that she hadn't even noticed that dinner had come and gone. She sighed and walked across her room.
Just before she got to the door a knock came from the other side and she slowly opened the door to see a flush Scorpious carrying some sort of tray with food on it. "McGonagall noticed you weren't at dinner and she had a house elf bring up dinner for you and he gave to to me and I'm giving it to you."
As he finished his sentence he shoved the tray into Roses hands and turned around obviously still peeved at Roses silent treatment. "Uhh, Scorpious." she said which cause him to stop and freeze hearing his name roll off her lips so effortlessly "Thanks." she said with a smile before she closed the door and left him standing there.
While on her side she had sunk to the floor against the door and placed the tray next to her, she couldn't touch the food but her stomach said otherwise and she whispered a few spells that would detect any poisoning before she ate it. When her stomach was finally satiated she placed the tray outside her door before taking another shower and sinking into her bed and falling asleep letting the days events roll around in her mind.
