Stars Hold Our Fate (SCOROSE) ~ Editing ~

Marrying Birds

A/N
I'm sorry, but I had say this. I just realised that on the cover of this book, Rose and Scorpius are in the exact same position as Hazel and Gus from the Fault in Our Stars. Stars Hold Our Fate, The Fault In Our Stars.
SERIOUSLY!!!!! When I named his book I didn't even realise that until like 2 seconds ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who just noticed??!!!
Okay, okay. Sorry for interrupting. Btw, the picture above is where I'll be getting all the spells for the rest of the book.
Enjoy!

Scorpius's POV

Unfortunately, there were still a few people in the common room, that including the neighbourhood idiot — Karl Flint.

"Karl, help!" Charles called, breathless, jumping over the couch and scurrying behind him.

"Calm down!" Karl snapped irritably.

I wasted no time in jumping on Charles.  Sadly, Karl was in the way so he went down too.

"Scorpius!" Karl scolded, staring at my wet clothes. He looked back and forth between me and Charles, his expression morphing into a puzzled frown. "What happened to you?"

"Rose Weasley! That's what happened to him!" Charles said. "She did an Aguamenti charm."

"The mudblood did Aguamenti on you?" Karl said in disbelief.

"Which mudblood?"

We turned around to see pretty dark haired girl walk into the common room. I grinned wickedly when I heard Charles groan. Finally. Merlin is on my side again.

Abigail Nott moved gracefully over and sat in the snakeskin armchair. She flashed Charles an alluring smile, "Hi Charles," to which he grimaced and looked away.

"Mudblood Weasley," Karl answered with a snarl.

     Something rippled through me at his words. Something that almost grew into a growl. I snapped to look at Karl, and I must have looked angry, because his expression immediately shifted.

     "Don't call her that," I told him steadily, in a dangerously calm voice. Karl did nothing but stare dumbly at me, and after a moment, I relaxed again.

     Suddenly, Charles's eyes widened. He watched me expectedly, and as soon as I realised what he was thinking, I cursed myself.

     "What?" I demanded, but there was no use denying it now.

     "It's her, isn't it?" Charles asked. "It's Weasley."

I was right. There was no hope for me, really. I might as well bury myself alive at this point.

"What's Weasley?" Abigail said, desperately trying to join the conversation.

     "Would someone like to back me up on what we're talking about?" Karl asked.

     "Charles. Dorm. Now," I said flatly standing up and walking out of the common room.

     "Wait, Charles!" I heard Abigail call in dismay.

I walked back into the dorm, doing a quick drying spell while waiting.

     After Charles closed the door behind him, I spilled to him everything that had happened in the past few weeks.  At some parts he laughed, at others he was eerily quiet.

     "So you like Weasley," he said after I'd finished.

I nodded, realising it was true.
