The Trouble With Scorpius Malfoy

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Roses P.O.V.

I sat on my bed, legs crossed, biting the end of my quill. I was so tired, I could feel my eyes getting heavier and heavier. I can't believe I forgot something as important as a test! I never forget anything.

I eventually gave up. To tired to concentrate, I shoved my stuff into my draw and climbed into bed hoping Scorp will have remembered.

*************

"Rose! Wake up! You've missed breakfast and we have potions now!"

"What?! Why didn't you wake me up?"

"We tried c'mon."

I dressed in a rush then Alys grabbed my arm and we ran. Why did potions have to be in the dungeons?! We burst in and took our places as Professor Johnson came in from the back.

"Where have you been Rosie? I was looking for you during breakfast but you weren't there."

"I slept in Scorp. I was up all night worrying 'cos I forgot about the test."

"Well your in luck 'cos I remembered."

"Mr. Malfoy and Miss Weasley please stop talking and start concocting the potion."

Scorpius smirked at me and started crushing the horned slugs.

Half an hour later, we finished mixing all the ingredients and started to let it brew. (?) I caught Scorpius look behind me towards where Al was sat and cleared his throat quietly.

"Um Rose. I have a question for you."

"Okaay? Should I be worried?"

"No, it's just willyougoonadatewithme?"

"Slow down Scorp. I didn't hear any of that." He took a deep breath, obviously nervous.

"Would you like to go on a date to Hogsmeade with me?" I smiled, understanding now why he was so nervous.

"I'd love to Scorpius." I say, giving him a hug. "Now I think the potion has finished brewing. We need to hand it in." He smiled and agreed then turned to get a flask, but in the process he knocked over the potion all over Aroura Parkinson and Freddie Zambini. They both immediately starting sprouting warts.

"Professor, they just poured their potion on us!" Aroura screamed.

"Mr. Malfoy, Miss Weasley, I did not see what happened so what do you have to say for yourselves?" We looked at each other and said almost perfectly in sync,

"At least we know the potion works!" And promptly burst out laughing.

Scorpius P.O.V.

After we'd stopped laughing Professor Johnson had decided we weren't sorry and gave us detention for that night.

"Your detention will be with Hagrid and you will be helping put the nifflers in their hibernation boxes. 8 o'clock and I will ask him what time you get there."

"Sorry Ange- I mean Professor Johnson." Rose said.

******•••••******
"Okay. So what are you thinking? You have asked her haven't you?" Said Al.

"Yeah I have. Umm I was thinking The Three Broomsticks first, definitely not Madam Padifoots. That place is crap. And then maybe Weasley's Wizard Wheezes or Honeydukes. But I'm not sure." I replied.

"Right, Three Broomsticks definitely sometime during the day, but not first. You want that to bet he last place so you can go and warm up. Go to WWWs first, 'cos Rose has to go every time there's one anywhere near by. Plus I think she's already written to George to tell him she's coming. So WWWs then head towards The Shrieking Shack, apparently you get the best snow there, and initiate a snowball fight. Be prepared to get destroyed. Then Honeydukes, get me some Sherbet Lemons and get Rose White Mice. They're her favourite. And then go to The Three Broomsticks. Please no PDA as other people do go to Hogsmeade."

"Okay. I think I've got all that. Thanks Al. I'll tell you how it goes tomorrow."

"See you."

"See you."
******•••••******

Our detention was great! As soon as we got to Hagrid's he set us to work but it started raining almost immediately so he invited us into his hut for tea and rock cakes.

"Don't eat the cakes. They'll break your teeth." Rose whispered out the side of her mouth. I held in my snickers and pretended to cough.

"I'm 'fraid yer won't be able to put the nifflers in they're boxes tonight. I'll do it tomorrow."

"Thanks Hagrid. Can we go now?"

"Yeah course Rosie. Tell yer mum I said 'ello"

"Will do Hagrid. See you later."

We walked back up to school in silence and separated at the bottom of the stairs.

"I'll meet you down here tomorrow to go down to Hogsmeade. Bye." I say hugging her and then waving.

"Okay." She smiled and waved back. "Oh Scorp I need to get Christmas presents for Mum, Dad and Hugo tomorrow do you mind?"

"Nope. See you tomorrow then."
