Loving Rose (A Scorpose fanfic)

Chapter 17 --- Nigtmares

[Rose's POV]

Ever since "the world" knew it, I was given stares and loathsome looks. So as Scorpius, although some people smiled encouragingly.

Only 2 weeks is left, until the Christmas Holidays, and I am still hesitating whether I should invite Scorpius over or not.

The scene this morning still lingered in my mind, popping out at the most inappropriate times.

It was a long day, and I retreated back to the prefect dormitory. Surprisingly, Scorpius is already sitting on the couch, usually he is not that early, today, he even has a serious look on his face. Uh oh.

Scorpius said, "Sorry Rose, for what happened this morning." When I did not reply, he continued, "I lost control, I was ludicrous... Are you okay?" He asked when he saw my unease.

I shifted, and sat down next to him. I put my arm around his shoulder and buried my face in it.

"Am I forgiven?"

"Yes," I muffled.

"Good, I don't want to loose you, not ever, Rose..."

"Me too, Scorp, you are the best thing that happened in my life."

Scorpius's face lightened up and he smiled from ear to ear. It was soothing to see him smile again. A thought floated in my head, I asked, "Would you like to come over for Christmas at my home for maybe a day or two?"

"I would love to, but... What about the parents? You know how your father and my father is like..."

"I... Never thought about that..."

Scorpius chuckled lightly.

At that moment, two owls competed on a race, they were messenger owls, and I saw Aurora among them, our house owl. They were flying towards the open window, within seconds, both owls landed in the room, each holding a howler.

I heard Scorpius mutter something under his breath, word must have spreaded, and now even our parents knew about us. I didn't know what to do, but I witnessed what happened to a howler before, and I knew there was no other choice. I said, "Scorp, let me open mine first."

I reached for the letter gingerly, and opened the seal. The letter popped open immediately and roared,
"ROSE WEASELY, IS THIS TRUE? AND YOU TWO SHARE A ROOM? HOW COULD YOU! HOW GOOD IS THAT STUPID MALFOY BOY, HE MIGHT BE GOOD LOOKING, BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!" Then, the voice unexpectedly changed into my mum's voice, "Rose, I support you no matter what you choose, Ron is simply over reacting..." The letter then tore itself into pieces.

Without having to touch Scorpius's letter, it unfolded itself, a useful world of magic...

"SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? I NAMED YOU TO BE BOLD AND POWERFUL, NOW YOU ARE DEVOTING IT TO A MALFOY? IS THIS TRUE?" Just like my letter, the voice changed into a softer voice,

"Scorp, I am a little dissapointed, since Rose is not a pure blood, but I heard that is he is quite nice, is that so?"

Once again, the howler tore it self to pieces, leaving parchment scraps all over the floor.

Scorpius looked at me and said, "I'll go to your house, but I suppose my mum will insist that you come to mine as well... Are you fine with that?"

I nodded, "Let's write back a letter to them." The owls were still standing on the table, blinking innocently.
