The first day went as expect. Busy, noisy and messy. Both Albus and Rose were exhausted! Al was still a little disturbed with what Rose told him some hour before. "Why Malfoy!? She can do much better!" Not that Al wasn't Scorpious's friend but like his uncle Ron he was very protective around Rose and he wouldn't trust anyone to touch her without his permission. The Ravenclaw girl on her side was trying to remember the cure for the hippogriffs' sickness gazing one spot on the ground, miles away from what Al was picturing on his mind.
"Hey do you know where is Pamy?" Rose and Al turned around to face the Slytherin's most known boy after Albus, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, his blonde messy hair, his grey eyes and his tall figure standing right in front of them
"Pamy? From Griffindor? I think I saw her on the corridor next to her common room" Rose answered trying not to blush
"thanks Rose. um... see you later guys" He left to the Griffindor's common room direction not running but rushed.
"uh... is everything okay Al? You seem... worried and mad"
"I'm just... okay so Rosie we have no secrets right? That's our policy"
"Exactly, no secrets!" Rose smiled at her cousin
"Then if you were in love with Scorpious you would tell me right?"
"Of course! But I'm not Al, really!With him or anyone!" She smiled again and he sighed in relief. They entered on the prefects' dormitory, both heading to the boys' side and sitting on his bed.
"So how is quidditch? I heard we're playing against each other on Wednesday, and.. you're going down newbie!" Rose laughed at her cousin
"Al please! I'm the best keeper ever! Just try to get a quaffle in!"
"I won't I'm a seeker!" Both laughed and kept chatting until someone knocked on the door
"Hi" Scorpious again? Al tough showing a week fake smile and a wave
"Hi Scorp" Rose waved as well yawning and resting her head on Albus's chest. Scorpious waved them and sat on his bed looking awkwardly at the ground
"so... you were talking about quidditch? I couldn't help listening it... sorry." Rose smiled at his blushed skin
"That's fine, did you know we're playing against Ravenclaw soon?" Albus asked. Yes, Scorpious wans't just handsome and nice, he was also the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, and a chaser
"Yeah I heard so. Finally right?" The Ravenclaw and the Slytherin teams hadn't play together in half year on the 6th grade Because the Ravenclaw team lost one of the chasers and the sneaker not findind anyone to replace them but this now, a 2nd year girl called Summely does the job of being a sneaker and Louis Weasley is the chaser.
About half of hour later, Rose decides it's time for her to go to bed, she hugs Al goodnight and waves at Scorpious leaving the room with her mind full of thoughs.
Weird thing Al asked me if I like Scorp... He's just a friend nothing else... I think. It's true I might have just a little crush on him but I'm not quite sure... He's nice and handsome and he plays Quidditch and he's smart... maybe... I don't know! Rose thought to herself while heading to her room.
And during the whole night, Rose crumbled and turned in bed, Scorpious though about the girl of his dreams and on how close and yet so far away she was from him and Al felt asleep in a click, not even bothering to brush his teeth.
