We Waited So Long <<Scorose>>

Chapter 4

Rose
"Rose!" James called out running up to me. I smile widely but my smile falls quickly.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" He screamed at me. "SCORPIUS MALFOY?"

I shrink back and scream internally, did he have to do this here? In the great hall of all places. "James," I say quietly, "can we talk about this somewhere quieter."

"NO ROSE," He shouted drawing even more attention. "WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS HERE AND NOW."

I step back looking around at all the people staring at us.

"WHY HIM OF ALL PEOPLE?" James towers over me and I muster courage as he says that.

"BECAUSE I THINK I LOVE HIM." I scream, glaring up at him.

"Rose," a soft deep unmistakable voice sounds behind me. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I sigh turning back to James. "It doesn't matter what you think, me and Scorpius are together and there's nothing you can do to break us up."

"You had better treat my cousin right." James glares at Scorpius and I feel Scorpius' arms wrap around me and I sink into them.

"Don't worry," he smiles, "I have no intention of hurting the love of my life." He takes my hand and we walk out of the great hall.

"Did you mean what you said?" I ask when we get outside into the school grounds.

"Every word." He smiles looking down at me and presses his lips to mine. My heart melts as I feel his lips on mine. I know our relationship won't be easy. They'll be more of my family who don't approve my dad as the main one. But I don't care, as long as I have Scorpius.

As he breaks away I look up to see James climbing a tree nearby.

"Let me," Scorpius smiles to me, kissing me lightly. "I'll see you in the library soon okay."

"Okay," I nod and walk back in and into the library.

James
What was she thinking? He's a Malfoy! He might be a good friend to her and Al, but what happens when he gets her in danger. He'll pressure her I just know it. All I want is for her to be safe. She's too young for dating, especially him. I storm out of the great hall and out into the school grounds to cool off. I throw my bag on the floor and swing myself up into to the branches of a tree.

"Hey," a voice calls out and I look down to see Scorpius Malfoy swinging up beside me.

"What do you want?" I grumble, sitting on the thick branches.

"I would never hurt her you know," he loosens his tie and sits down.

"Maybe not intentionally," I run my hand through my shaggy hair. "But you will at some point. You'll pressure her and force her into things she's not ready for."

"Never." He shakes his head standing up and hoisting himself up onto the branch above. "I love her."

I look up at him and see the sincerity in his eyes. "Fine. but you are so dead if you hurt her."

"I know." He grins swinging further up the tree.
