Against the odds

Chapter 5

POV Scorpius

DETENTION WAS A LIVING HELL!

It all started when I was running to detention. (I was late)

When I was running, I saw that dumbwit called Alex. He was running too and hit himself with the door of the Transfiguration classroom. "Idiot" Someone shouted while laughing. Then I realized it was Rose.

At first I wanted to say hello, but then I remembered that she is the reason why Albus was upset the rest of the day.

So, that makes her...

THE ENEMY!

Nevertheless, she is not a bad person. Also, she is quite funny, but apparently, she doesn't think the same about me.

Maybe I should ignore her the rest of the year. As my father taught me. If you want to end Hogwarts without a SCRATCH, you should not mess up with a Weasley or a Granger or they will punch in the face or jinx you. (So, in this case Rose is a danger for my handsome face)

Maybe I'm scared of Rose!

But today I decided that if I want to survive detention I should start to hang out with her. Besides I want to see Wood being a jerk as always.

"At least we share the same thoughts" I said while I started walking towards her. When she turned around to see me her smile vanished.

"Hello Malfoy" She looked like she was being polite, not that she cared. Deep in my conscience I know that she sees me like an IDIOT. (Or in her own words, stupid little ferret!)

After that, she left giving me a poisoned look and leaving Alex Wood in the floor.

I bet I'm smarter than her, the fact that I'm a Malfoy doesn't make me an idiot. (My father always had good grades). I'm a PUREBLOOD, I'm SMART, and perhaps she hasn't know I'm quite HANDSOME.

Maybe it sounds a little cocky, but my purpose this year is to make that weasel change her mind about Albus and about me.

.........

"Are you okay?" I asked Wood

"Do you care?" Wood replied

"Perhaps, you just slammed your face on the door. You should go with Madame Pomfrey. Let me help you" I said

"Look at that, the death eater's son is a kind and weak fluffy bunny" He said mocking

"At least I'm an educated person and not a jerk like you" I said stormed away.

I entered the trophies room, And I started doing my job. The trophies should be clean by 10:00 o'clock.

Mrs Norris's ghost watched us for 10 minutes and then she started chasing nearly-Headless Nick and disappear.

Then Alex came in, looking as an idiot as always he looked at me and walked towards Rose, Rose looked like she was in her own world because she didn't even realize I was here.

"Let's start ok?" She said loud enough for me to hear

Wood looked at her with a weird face that wasn't his usual face weird face but with a weird-different-face.

"Ummmm.... NO!" He shouted, (so loud I was surprised Mrs Norris wasn't back) he put music and started dancing.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing

Shake it off by Taylor Swift!

I don't even know why I know the name but I do...

I was in shock for 2 minutes, but I snapped out of it and went directly to ipod

I didn't really know how to use it so I clicked every button, but at last it stopped.

"Why did you do that?" Rose said with an angry voice.

"You two are mad, and I'm not planning to spend another week cleaning trophies because of your stupid music!" I said frankly a little irritated.

"You are such a SPOILSPORT!" Alex said.

"Say what you want Wood, because the only reason why I'm here is because your friend has ANGER ISSUES!" I said."And as for you Weasley. I thought you were a responsible person, but I was wrong!"

I was a bit disappointed

I gave Alex's IPod to Rose and went back to work.

Suddenly it was 10 o'clock

"Time's over" I said to no one as I left.

.......

When I arrived at my common room I saw Mia waiting for me as always I don't know why she's always following me around but I have to admit I am BEAUTIFUL.

"Hi Scorpii...."She said with her annoying voice

"Uuhhhh, hi...." I didn't know what to say, I don't even know her

"I can't sleeeep" she said, but it obviously a lie you could see the sleep in her eyes

"Go wonder about the immortality of crabs" I said.

"Wait, what? Are crabs immortal?"

"Exactly"

I walked towards my room, I remember my mom used to tell me that when I couldn't sleep.

I walked straight towards my bed without putting pyjamas and lay there thinking about nothing in particular...

I am Scorpius Malfoy, and this is a chapter of my life.
