"How was yesterday?" Alice greeted Rose at breakfast.
"Well good morning to you to." Rose said, looking at her best friend as she sat down beside her.
"Oh come on. You can't expect me to say 'good morning' when there are much more important matters at hand, such as your date with Scorpius. So, how was it?"
"Good. We sat at The Three Broomsticks, went to Honeydukes and had a snowball fight."
"So are you officially boyfriend and girlfriend now?"
"I guess so. He didn't exactly say that we were, but we held hands on the way back."
"Nice. We've got and Defense Against the Dark Arts together second class, so you can tell me more then."
She walked away before Rose could say another word.
She had Charms first with Ivy and Chelsea, and also Scorpius. She walked in with Ivy, taking a seat on the desk with Chelsea who waved them over. A moment later, Scorpius walked in. He winked and smiled at Rose, making her blush and hide behind her books. Despite being his girlfriend, she hadn't really gotten used to it. Could she ever get used to it?
The lesson went by quickly. Rose tried her best to ignore Scorpius and stay focussed on the lesson, but she couldn't help but glance over a few times, watching him attempt to cast the spell they were practicing. She noticed how his brow furrowed and the tip of his tongue poked out from the corner of his mouth as he concentrated on casting the spell. At one point he looked over to her, and noticing her gaze, smile at her. Knowing he'd already seen her staring, she smiled back at him before looking away.
In the hallway after Charms, Rose heard someone calling her name. Turning, she saw Scorpius pushing through the crowd of students. Reaching her, he said, "Can you meet me at the beech tree by the lake after school.""I can't. I have Quidditch trials." She replied.
"Ok then. Tomorrow?"
"Sure sounds good."
"See you then." he said, then walked off in the opposite direction.
In Defense Against the Dark Arts, Alice whispered questions to Rose for the full lesson. Not even Professor Forsvar's glares, which were a frightening sight, could make her stop. Rose refused to answer many of the questions, telling her friend to be quiet. Even though Rose adored Alice as her closest friend, there were some things she just didn't want to talk about whilst trying to concentrate on the effects of the Imperius Forsvar finally had enough of Alice's chatter and stormed over. "Miss Edgecomb!" She practically yelled. "10 points from Hufflepuff and see me today after school. I have made it very clear I do not want you chatting in my lessons yet you have continued to do so."
Alice dropped her head, staring at the wooden desk rather than dare to look the Professor in the eye. Professor Forsvar was generally lenient when it came to minor rule breakers, but if someone pushed her too far, like Alice had done, you didn't want to be around.
After berating Alice, the Professor instantly returned to the lesson, her anger disappearing immediately. Alice was quiet for the rest of the lesson, staring down at her textbook to avoid meeting the Professor's eyes.
