Sparks Fly (Harry Potter FanFiction)

Chapter 12

Rose woke that morning to the sun beaming through her window. She got up, noticing that Natalie wasn't in her bed. The three other girls were awake and greeted her with cheery good mornings.

"No sign of Natalie?" She asked the girls

"Nope." Ivy answered. "Haven't seen her since she stormed out last night."

Rose got ready whilst she talked to the girls then headed down to breakfast.

As she was eating her toast, Scorpius came and sat down next to her, getting several glares from Gryffindors nearby.

"Good morning!" he said, smiling at Rose. "You haven't forgotten about this afternoon have you?"

"How could I?" Rose said, smiling back at him. "Are you going to tell me what you have planned?"

He smiled knowingly at her. "That's for me to know and you to find out. See you after school." he got up and walked off, turning to wave at Rose.

After breakfast, Rose checked her timetable, disappointed to see she didn't have any classes with Scorpius that day. As she was walking down the hall, her brother ran up to her.

"ROSE!" he yelled at her.

"No need to scream at me!" she said back to him, ruffling his hair with her hand.

"I know." Hugo smiled up at Rose. "And stop doing that to my hair!" he said, pushing her hand away. Rose just laughed. "Anyway." Hugo continued. "A little owl told me you have a boyfriend." He said mockingly.

"So what if I do?" Rose scowled at him. "It's none of your business who I want to spend my time with!"

"So you do!" he said triumphantly, as if he'd just discovered a fantastic secret. "So who is it? It's not that stupid Thompson boy is it? It better not be a Slytherin. Dad would have a fit."

Rose ignored him and continued walking. Hugo kept following her, pestering Rose with questions about her boyfriend.

"Look." She said turning to him. "I'm not going to tell you, so stop trying to guess. You better keep quiet about this around Mum and Dad or you'll regret it."

"Fine!" he said, crossing his arms. "But you owe me. And I will find out who it is." With that, Hugo ran off down the hallway.

Rose knew her brother would find out about Scorpius, and she'd have to tell her parents at some point as well, but for now it was just between her and her closest friends.

She walked to her first class (Transfiguration) thinking about Scorpius and what he could have planned for that afternoon.
