Loving Rose (A Scorpose fanfic)

Chapter 8---Fury

[Scorpius's POV]

It is my fourth year at Hogwarts, time passes quick. The first years lined up nervously in a straight line, peeking their heads out while being sorted into houses. It was another interesting year, especially when there will be a Christmas party for the year fours.

------After a few weeks

I was walking towards the dungeon for potions class, when I saw a flash of red hair turning the corner. I knew it is Rose.

I had been quite busy last year, so my mind was not on her, although I dream about her in my dreams. I turned around the corner, expecting to see Rose hugging her pile of books.

But then, I saw a sight, horrible enough to schock me. My mouth hung open, and I saw Rose snogging August at the other end of the corridor. Rose was leaning against the wall, but I could see that she wanted to escape. She struggled, but August was too strong, his hands wrapped around her waist, and they slid down slowly, now lingering just slightly above her butt.

I shouted, at the top of my lungs, "August Rider!" He pulled away from Rose and looked at me with annoyed eyes. Stomping over, I punched him in the face before he could defend, hard. I heard Rose gasp, I don't know if that was in shock or out of breath.

"You wanna fight?" August provoked.

"I warned you, you didn't listen." I grabbed him by his hand and twisted it, but he used his leg to kick me at the side. I heard rumours that he studied combat when he was going. Perhaps that is true.

I was holding him by the collar and him pulling my shirt.

"Stop it! Please stop it. Both of you." Rose pleaded. I saw in her eyes that she was about to break down. "August, could you go to class first? I will catch up with you later." August mumbled something under his breath and sloped away.

"Scorpius... Thanks." Rose whispered shyly, looking at the ground. She sniffled, I could tell she wanted to cry.

"Rose, you all right?"
She nodded silently, sobbing.
"Look at me,"
When she looked up, I saw the corners of her eyes filled with water, then, her tears burst out, incapable of keeping them back.

"Scorpius, he... He tried to..."
"I know." I stepped closer to her and hugged her close to me. After lingering there for a dew moments, Rose pulled away, wiping tears from her eyes, she asked, "Do I look like I cried?"

"Not at all, you look beautiful."
"Let's go then..." Rose replied, her cheeks blushing madly. I smiled.
