SCORPIUS'S POV

I smirked as Rose stood grumbling besides me. We had just pulled her and Lorcan from the center of attention and reduced their anger to slight grumbles.

"Are you guys still grumbling about it? It's a fucking Valentine's day Ball for Christ's sake! What other colour did you expect? Burgundy?" Zoe exclaimed.

Rose grumbled something incoherent under her breath.

"Love, we can't make out a single word of what you're saying." I said laughing, not realising my mistake.

Everyone gasped. Those who knew, because I was fucking up, and those who didn't, for legit reasons. My eyes widened painfully.

"I-I m-meant uh"

I looked at Rose and gave her a subtle SOS look.
She blinked her eyes in understanding and gasped, turning everyone's attention to herself.

"Scorpius! What the hell! I thought I made the fact that we're over very clear! I spent the past few days avoiding you, getting over you, and you act like nothing ever changed between us?! How could you even do this? We are over dude! O to the V to the E to the R.
OVER! Have you completely forgotten how much you hurt me! Have you forgotten the reason behind our Break up?! Come man! I thought you were better than this! I thought we agreed we would be just friends! Do friends call each other Love?"
I internally applauded her acting skills.

Ali of course, being her best friend, saw right through her.

"Is there anything you guys want to tell me?" she looked at all of us.

Scarlett panicked. Turning to look at Ali, she suddenly spoke, "I once dyed my hair green for a dare!"

All of us turned to look at her,
We all blinked twice,
And started laughing.

"I remember that!"

"I'm imagining it!"

"What shade of green was it?"

"Sea green"

"Like Percy Jackson's eye colour?"

"Exactly like that."

"Percy is hot!"

"What?"

"What?"

Taking advantage of the confusion, I pulled Rose aside. Shushing her, I pulled the both of us into a broom closet. The broom closet, had been discovered by James, and as a part of the plan, we boys of the Wotter clan and Co., had taken up to decorating it. Of course the girls had been wary of letting us decorate the room, thinking us to be incapable to create a romantic environment. Though it was true, we had somehow transformed the dull, lifeless, useless broom closet, to a very small wooden cabin, with a table for two, which had been set with a candlelight dinner. The room was so small, the the two occupants had to sit down on the chairs. With the overhead draping and a door that can only be opened from outside, the room was complete.

"Woah" she gasped looking at the marvelously decorated, spacious room. I nodded, grinning at how she looked . "I still can't believe how you boys managed to do this so effortlessly and beautifully! Man I take what I said back. You guys aren't useless!" she gasped, running her hand over the table cloth.

"'Effortlessy'?"

*FLASHBACK*

"I SAID WOOD AS IN THE MATERIAL WE OBTAIN FROM TREES! NOT THE CAPTAIN OF THE GRYFFINDOR QUIDDITCH TEAM JAMES! STOP GLUING HIM TO THE WALLS!"
