Scorpius POV
By the time classes have finished for the day and we go to dinner in the great hall I have decided to tell Albus about my feelings for Rose, he needs to know he is my best friend and Roses cousin.

I'm one of the first people to arrive in the great hall for dinner so I go to me and Albus' normal spot and sit down and wait patiently for Albus to arrive. My leg is bouncing up and down and the palms of my hand are sweating. Why am I so nervous? Rose walks in and I can't help but stare at her. She sees me and waves and smiles, I return the gesture. Then Albus walks in and walks to me.

"Hey mate" Albus greets as he sits down.

"Hey" I say simply.

"Right, what's wrong??" Al asks.

"Nothing" I say, still bouncing my leg.

"Common Scorpius, I can tell you're nervous, you're bouncing your leg and it's annoying" Albus says "spill. Now."

"Hello students!" Headmistress McGonagall says "just a quick announcement before we start. We have decided to put on a ball!" Murmurs erupt the hall, curious students whispering to each other "now now quieten down. It will be a Christmas ball and shall be held just before the Christmas break, only 4th years and above can attend, and that is all. Enjoy" the headmistress waves her hands and brilliant food appears right in front of us and I immediately pile food on to my plate.

"Calm down Scorp, you're just like Rose!" Al laughs, just the mention of Rose makes me more anxious "so why are you so nervous?"

"Right Al please don't freak out when I tell you this" I say as Al turns to face me and gives a nod before I continue "I like Rose."

"What!" He shouts causing a few Slytherins around us to look at us.

"Now don't freak out even more when I say this, but I think I love her"

"WHAT!" Al shouts even louder causing the whole great hall to look at him.

"AL!" I shout, but not as loud as him.

"You LOVE her!" The great hall is still quite quiet and people hear him.

"Just ignore him!" I say "he's acting very weird today"

"What are you on about?" He asks looking confused and shocked at the same time. The great hall resumes its normal volume. "You think your in love with Rose?" This time he whispers to me.

"Yes, are you mad at me??" I ask.

"No, just a little shocked"

"A little" I say.

"When did you know or find out" Al asks.

"Today in Potions, the love potion. I smelt the love potion and I could smell vanilla, then Rose hugged me and I smelt the vanilla on Rose!" I explain.

"Oh my, Scorp. What are you going to do? Are you going to talk to her?" Al asks.

"I don't know Al, I'm very confused. What if she doesn't like me back?"

"I think she does"

"What makes you think that?" I ask.

"She's always happy around you, and I see you guys flirting all the time?" Now it's my turn to shout and get everyone's attention.

"Sorry" I say.

"Mr Malfoy" McGonagall says " would you like to share your conversation with Mr Potter with the rest of us?"

"No thank you Professor" I say.

"Well why not, you two seem to be very loud and keen to talk" she says.

"We're alright professor, thank you" Al says.

"Alright then, but I shall need to see you two at the end of dinner" the headmistress tells us.

"Okay professor" me and Al say together.

"Since when do me and Rose flirt??" I ask.

"Since forever" Al says.

"No we haven't"

"Yes you have!"

"No"

"Yes"

"Fine whatever, Al"

"I win" Al does a little dance by waving his arms about.

"Mr Potter!" McGonagall says.

"Sorry Professor" Al says shyly.

After everyone has left the great hall, me and Al make our way over to McGonagall.

"Hello boys" she greets.

"Hello professor" we say together.

"Now I'm very keen to know about your conversation that was extremely loud earlier during dinner" she begins.

"Do we have to?" I ask.

"Well you see Mr Malfoy I'm a very nosy old lady, if it's a secret I won't tell" she laughs.

"Fine, we were talking about Rose" I admit.

"Rose Weasley? Why are you talking about Miss Weasley?" She asks.

"Scorpius is in looovvveee" Al says in a mocking dreamy tone.

"Al I'm not in looooovvvveee" I mock back.

"Yes you are, you could smell Rose in the love potion" Al says with a smirk on his face.

"Ahh well Mr Malfoy your secret is safe with me" McGonagall laughs "Miss Weasley eh. I saw it coming"

"You did?" I ask, shocked.

"Ohh yes, you two remind me of her parents" she begins " them two were always bickering and fighting, and not to mention secretly flirting with each other, slowly and slowly falling for each other. Yes I see it now, you as Miss Weasley you will definitely make a beautiful couple!"

"Thank you?" I say as me and Al leave.

"Good luck Mr Malfoy, you'll need it" McGonagall says as we walk out of the hall and up to our dorm.
