The Potter's Daughter

Giggling...

For the first time in my life, I woke up early. With no need of alarms or my mom shouting. I waited until Madame came and took the curtains around my bed so I could at least see through the window. The weather was perfect for many things. Perfect for a quidditch match, perfect for a picnic in the vast gardens of Hogwarts or simply a walk with my cousins and parents. I knew they couldn't stay here with me forever, I couldn't ask them that. I wondered what they might have been doing right at that moment. Maybe Rosie and Lysander managed to sneak out of Jamie's and Hugo's watch to stay a little bit together... Lucky them I thought, if I could get out of this bed the first thing I'd probably do would be to put on a prank, or talk to Peeves...I've been waiting to meet that awesome ghost/poltergeist since I was five!

Then Scorpius entered the room, bringing in his hands a big blue tray, with food on it, probably breakfast. "Hey!" he said, I bet someone obliged him to come..."I didn't know you were awake..." he spoke I as didn't answer, "No, as you can see, I'm still sleeping..." I said bitterly, I don't care what he thinks he's doing but we simply won't be friends, it just won't happen. I tried to cross my arms just like I always did when being as stubborn as my mom but obviously, I couldn't move my arms so I just managed to lift both them about ten inches up my bed until I remembered my situation. Then the weasel surprised me with a smirk. So, he comes here just to annoy me? Is it just because I can't move? Because if it is I swear on all the gods that when I'm cured I'd kill him willingly! "What is it?" I asked impatiently, "nothing...is just that," he had to stop talking as he tried to hide the smile, "Need any help to cross your arms, Potter?" then he cracked in laughter. Did I say already how much I hated him? "I wasn't going to cross my arms ok? And by the way, don't you have anything better to do than stay here annoying me?" I asked, "Yes, I do," he simply said and sat on my bed, I immediately frowned, what does he think he's doing? "Hungry?" he asked and put the tray over my legs. I could see pumpkin juice, apple pie, croissant, bread, eggs and...I couldn't believe, lemonade!

For some reason I always loved lemon, I would eat them alone with no sugar or anything...So when I saw this muggle thing at my uncle's house I fell in love with it. I wondered who made the tray for me. It might have been Rose, she knows that I love it and she has a special relationship with elves. Mainly house elves.

"Everything checked?" he asked, "Yeah," I said, "thanks for bringing it up here, you can go now," I said and moved my hands to grab a piece of apple pie. Obviously, my arms didn't move, I never felt so stupid and frustrated at the same time. He kept staring at me, this time with his arms crossed as if proving a point. "What?" I asked annoyed, "Sure you want me to go, sweetheart?" he said smirking, "Yes, I do, thanks, everything is under control here," I said, "Oh, I see" he spoke and raised his eyebrows, "That's why you're going to end up letting everything fall at your blankets, with all your moving abilities", "I bet I'll figure out something" I said, wouldn't he go back from where he came from? They shouldn't allow people that annoy the patients inside the hospital wing...

"Let me help you!" he said grabbing the fork. He had to be kidding me! "What? Am I a baby now?" I said completely irritated, "Well, considering you can't do anything by yourself, you always need someone to keep an eye on you and you have pretty much the size of a little kid...yes, I'd say that you're a baby", "Ok, you DO NOT have to keep a eye on me, I can do stuff by myself and for the thousandth time, I AM NOT LITTLE!" I literally shouted. He raised his arms in surrender, "Wow! Calm down...I was just kidding ok?" he sighed, "But you still need to eat! Let me help you...what's wrong with it?" he frowned and kept looking at me as I thought of what to answer, "is just that...It's embarrassing..." I said as I felt my face getting hotter. "No, it is not. Now, croissant or apple pie?" He asked. I couldn't not notice the way he blinked as if he was still a little kid with those big gray eyes staring as if begging his father to buy something. He raised one eyebrow, something I was never able to do, waiting for my answer. I sighed and said: "apple pie..."

It took him a few tentatives to learn how to deal with the pie and my mouth in general. I only noticed how hungry I was until I started eating and I figured out that the more silent we were more awkward the situation got so we kept chatting even though he did the most talking since I was most of the time with my mouth full. "So...When you heal...will you try for the quidditch team?" he asked, I raised a finger (apparently the only part but my head that I could actually move) as a sign for him to wait. I finished swallowing and answered, "Perhaps...But I'm afraid I won't be able to to the tests. They are in the next week right?" I asked, "Yeah if you want I can try talking to the captain maybe he'll let you do the test when you get better...", "ok...do you even know who is the captain this year?" I asked, "Yes, I know the guy. He's awesome..." I was getting more curious every time. "Who is him??" I asked, "It's me you silly!" he said laughing... "Seriously?" I asked, "I thought you barely made the team!" I said jokingly, "Ha-ha good joke Potter, but if I was you I wouldn't joke with the person who decides your future in the broom..." he said smirking. I rolled my eyes as he said: "ok, listen to this joke, what would happen if Voldemort went watch that thing of muggles...Cinema 3D?" I thought, the answer was obvious, wasn't it? "He would kill all the muggles??" I said, "No. the only thing that would happen if Voldemort went to the movies watch something 3D would be that his 3D glasses would keep sliding down...." he drowned in laughter, "cause...cause he doesn't have a nose!" and he kept laughing. "It is the stupidest joke I've ever heard..." But I couldn't control myself and started giggling.

He stopped laughing and started watching as I giggled. "What is is?" I said still smiling, "can't I laugh now?" I asked, he shook his head then said: "Of course you can, that's what jokes are for".

Even though all my retreats and bitterly answers he kept trying. He kept trying to make me speak, he kept making silly jokes to make me giggle and he kept helping me with everything...He even scratched my head once. By the end of the afternoon, I heard steps that seemed to be walking towards us, but suddenly they became quiet as if the person had changed idea and simply turned around. By then, I and Scorpius were laid one beside the other. I was almost asleep as he hummed songs, he had a pretty nice voice if you want to know... And above all, even though what I and Rose talked about last night we didn't get any near "relationships". At the end of the day, we were friends.
