Ace Of Hearts | Chap -12

"I-They were Slytherin third years on the quidditch team". James said.

"They're sooooooooo going to pay for this." Astrid spat.

"Don't get any ideas, Astrid," James sighed.

She opened her mouth to retaliate but James beat her to it.

"Just, please...Astrid... don't get involved." He said in a quiet voice throwing the cloak over her.

"I don't think Madam Pomfrey will be awake right now...The best thing to do would be to go to bed and visit her first thing tomorrow morning." Astrid said when they reached the Gryffindor tower.

"Yeah...Good night..."

"I can't believe you-" Rose stopped lost for words to describe their 'bad behavior'.
Astrid rolled her eyes for what seemed like the 100th time since today morning, not that she could contradict Rose. 

They had after all broken quite a few school rules and narrowly missed detention. 

Asher ran a hand through his hair and sighed. " James buddy, you ok?", he asked glancing at the bruises. 

"I'm fine," James replied shortly and stalked off. 
They watched him leave. As soon as he was out of sight, Asher looked at them and said, "You all know what to do right?"

"Um...." Rose said. "What do we have to do?"

Asher and Astrid smirked.

"Teach them a lesson", They replied in unison.

"What- Hell no. Are you both actually serious, do you know how dangerous this could be?"

"You don't have to join in if you don't wanna, Rose," Asher said. "But I'm not going to hold back this time."

"Yeah don't expect us to sit back when our best friend has been treated like this," Astrid said.

"Look, I care for him too but-"

"Then help us," Astrid said simply

  Rose sighed. "Alright, what's the plan?"

An owl flew in through the open window of the library where Rose sat completing her homework basking in the afternoon sunlight that fell through the window. She took the note it was holding between its beak and opened it.

Did you forget we had to work on our project?? Meet me at a quarter to five in the library.
-Scorpius 

Rose slapped her head, groaning. She had been so caught up the last few days she had totally forgotten that they had the charms assignment to work on. Writing a quick 'ok' on the back of the note she tied it to the owl's foot and got up collecting her things and made her way to the Gryffindor tower to collect her stuff.

Five minutes later she was sitting in one of the armchairs in the common room with Astrid and Asher with their heads together apparently discussing their 'great plans' to overthrow the Slytherins and 'avenge' James. 

"What you don't understand, Asher is that we have to think of something big. Something innovative." Astrid said waving her hands around her.

"And god forbid just who is going to think of this?" Rose said exasperatedly. 
"Well, you of course!"

"No way! Hold on, I never agreed to this! Rose scoffed.
"But you said you would help us!

"Help you, yes but not this shit!"
"Well, we can't do anything until we figure out a plan obviously!" 

Rose rolled her eyes. Damn, why did she agree to this? "Look, I'll try and think of something but please don't rely on me, I can't do this sort of stuff ok. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do", She said springing off the armchair and walking towards the portrait hole.
"Yeah yeah, whatever.." Asher said.

"Didn't think the day would come when you would be late Weasely", Scorpius smirked leaning on one of the tables in the library.
Rose scoffed. "I'm a human too, in case you didn't notice."

"Yeah right, you always act so perfect, I'm starting to think you might be inhuman."
"I'm going to take that as a compliment."
"Sure, sure, whatever," Scorpius said.

"So," Rose said as they sat down on one of the tables and took out their notes and assignments, "Did you do your part of the assignment."

"What do you think?" Scorpius said, folding his hands.
"Um..no?" Rose replied skeptically.

 He smirked, turned around, and took his bag, then as slowly as he could, he opened one of the zips. 

Rose clicked her tongue in impatience. "Could you please hurry up, I don't have all day you know".
"Patience Weasely, patience."

He took out his charms textbook and removed a thick wad of papers and threw it on the desk with a smug expression.
He leaned across the table with his hands in his pockets and whispered into Rose's ear, "Did I prove you wrong hm?"
