Rose and Scorpius, A True Love

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

"Come on Rosie... No need to be so scared..." He whispered in my ear. "Don't touch me." I said in a shaky voice. He laughed coldly, "I can hear your fear. I can smell it... It's an attractive trait about you, Rosie..." I felt him slide his hand up and down my arm. I wanted to run, but I couldn't. "You act so brave, but I know your scared. I know your fears..." "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" I screamed before waking up. I looked around the room, breathing heavily. I was in the common room. It was a dream. He isn't here, Jake could never get back here. Just a dream. Just a nightmare... I looked at my watch and saw it was only 5:00 AM. I wouldn't have to start getting ready until 7:00! Might as well, wouldn't be able to go back to sleep anyways... Not after that... I slowly walked to the bathroom and turned on the light. "Woah..." Is all I could say. There was a huge tub, well, more like a pool. Almost as big as the prefects bathroom! Except this one is just for me? Not true, it's his too. I shook my head to rid my thoughts of him... There was a large shower head at the top of the huge tub, and it looked like if I pressed the button, water would shoot out. Probably works just like the prefects bathroom. I closed and locked the door, and then I saw the mirror. It was huge, floor to ceiling, and my reflection looks awful. My dark red hair was tangled and bushy, and it was past my waist now. I had dark circles under my dark blue eyes. And something seemed different about my reflection... Something seemed changed. I began to brush my hair, but as I did so, A thought popped into my head. No... But- maybe? I mean- it wouldn't be the end of the world would it? I set my brush down and gazed at my reflection, my mind was made up. And nothing was going to stop me. I picked up my wand and grabbed a lock of hair. I took one last look at my lengthy hair before I waved my wand and sliced five inches off. The lock of hair now flowed maybe three inches below my shoulder. I considered this to be a reasonable length and began to hack the rest off the same length. Thirty minutes later my hair was all the same length and a few inches below the shoulders. "What. Have. I. Done." I whispered as I looked into my reflection. It didn't look bad at all, but the thought of all my hair, what I had spent just about seventeen years growing out, now gone, shocked me. But at the same time I couldn't help but admire the hair cut... It shaped my face better, seemed thicker, and it felt nice to cut the past off honestly. But a big part of me kept thinking what Scorpius would think when he saw it. What if he hates it? Why should you care! He broke your heart! But I still love him... Your such a fool! I decided I would judge my new look more after I had a shower. I undressed, turned the water on, and tried to breath as I washed my hair. It's so short compared to what it just was. Every time my hand ran through my hair, my heart would skip a little when I realized it didn't have much to run through. Once I was finished I wrapped the soft white towel around my body and I began to dry my hair with my wand. It took so much less time, only twenty minutes, and I was starting to like this hair cut more and more. When I finished, my hair was soft and flowed elegantly past my shoulders. And I couldn't help but get a little excited, is it weird this was distracting me from Scorpius? I brushed my teeth and checked the time. It was now 6:30 in the morning, I began to look around the bathroom for clothes until I realized I didn't bother bringing my uniform and robes from my bedroom upstairs. "Shit." Is all I could say. Okay, this is simple. You just need to pretend to be a ninja assassin and sneak your way upstairs without being seen, he should still be asleep right? Okay, be the ninja, be the ninja- oh what the hell am I doing? I rolled my eyes at myself as I slowly opened the door and peaked through the small opening. I took a deep breath and quickly ran out of the bathroom as fast as I could, holding my towel tightly around my body. But as I got to the staircase my heart dropped. "Rose?" I heard someone whisper. I tried to hide my blush and tried to look as nonchalant as possible. I turned around slowly to see Scorpius standing in the doorway that led to his staircase, he was only a silhouette, as it was still dark outside and no light was being brought into the common room, and I was so grateful he couldn't see me. Or at least I was until the idiot turned on the room light, showing I was in nothing but a towel. His eyes widened and he gaped at me with his mouth open. "I forgot my robes, okay?" I said aggravated and embarrassed all at once. But what came next kind of surprised me, "what did you do to your hair?" He asked quietly. I rolled my eyes and looked to the floor, "I dyed it blue, what do you think I did?" I said breathlessly. I looked back up to see him watching me with narrowed eyes, as if he was thinking. "It's different." He said softly. I felt my chest constrict in anger once again, "yea, like your one to talk Rapunzel." I snapped, trying to make a point about his absently long hair. But it's not like it was really an insult, he looked just as gorgeous with it this long. And I secretly liked it this way. "It's-" he began to say, but he closed his eyes and shut his mouth. "Nevermind." He mumbled before going to the bathroom and slamming the door shut. I ran upstairs and found I already had a four poster bed with scarlet blanket and sheets, with a dresser and my trunk in the room. I quickly put on my robes and threw myself on my soft bed. It was only 6:50, and school didn't start till 8:00. All I could think about was what he might have said. Did he hate it? Did he actually like it? I just don't know anymore... I looked into the one mirror in the room and saw my reflection. I looked so different... I was now 5'7, with medium length dark red hair, sapphire eyes, and I still had those damned freckles at the bridge of my nose. But other than that, I looked like an average seventeen year old girl. But why did I not feel normal. I felt so- so- empty. Scorpius was the one person I told everything to. I told Harley everything as well, but Scorpius would just hold me and I loved it when I could be his rock, and when he could lean on me. He made me feel special, and important. His life was- is- so difficult. And he just smiles... But I loved when he would lower a wall or two and just trust me. It made me feel like I was actually needed in this damned world. And he just knows so much... He was always there for me! He saved me. And now he's just ruined me... I wiped away the single tear that fell, and walked downstairs. Scorpius was still in the bathroom. Deciding id rather not have another run in with him, I left and made my way down to the great hall. It was nearly empty and I was surprised by how relieved I was. I sat at the Gryffindor table, and stared at the empty plate that I should be filling with food, as I haven't eaten anything since the night before yesterday. But all I could do was stare. Do I need to eat? I'm not even hungry... I was about to stand and leave for the owlery when a loud smack on the table startled me and made me look up. The sight made me groan inwardly, you have got to be kidding me. There was little Miss banshee herself, standing in front of me with an ugly smirk on her spoiled little face. "So... Is it true then?" She said loudly. Damn her voice got so loud! "What? That your an idiotic bimbo with no brain cells or decency to think for yourself? Yes, so glad you finally see that." I said with raised eyebrows. Her face went red but she kept that strained, ugly smile on her face. "No... That you and Scorpius had a thing for a little while?" She said just as loud as before. "It would be none of your business if we did." I muttered. I stood up and began to walk out of the great hall, so not going to have this conversation with her. But she began to skip next to me as I walked fast down the corridor. "So it is true!" She squealed, making me rub my forehead in annoyance. I didn't answer her, but kept walking straight ahead. "Haha! So did the little Rose flower get- DEflowered?" She began to giggle hysterically as if what she had said was amusing. "Once again, none of your business, but no." I said firmly. She began to giggle again. "Yea right, Scorpius doesn't just date any girl without- expecting something in return. So I guess the golden child of the world isn't so golden, huh?" She laughed again. I took a deep breath and clenched my fists, calm down, calm down. "You must not have been very good if he dumped you. I mean, we had done it many times in fifth year. But we had a little- disagreement." She said casually, and I spun around and glared so fiercely into her eyes that she closed her mouth and had finally shut up. "Listen up for once in your life, you pathetic, annoying, little rodent! I don't give a damn what you two use to do. And I refuse to join in on your creepy little fan club that follows Scorpius around. It's none of your business what happened between us, nor will it ever be. So stop attempting to brag like you had something special, cause you were just as easy as the rest of the little tramps." I whispered. Her face lit up in anger and her mouth fell open in shock. I smirked and turned on my heel, ready to walk away. "Clearly your just as big of a tramp as me because you still let him inside you!" I heard her yell behind me as if she had won the argument. That's so funny. WHAM!

"Hole. Lee. Shit." I heard someone whisper behind me. I had turned around and swung at Daisy. She was on the floor, her nose bleeding, and she was crying. "You filthy half breed! How dare you hit me!" she wailed as her nose continued to bleed. I cracked my knuckles and took a deep breath. Damn did that feel good. "Rose, what was that about!?" I turned around when I saw Harley, and about five other students who had seen the whole thing. "Shit." I whispered. "Coming through! Out of the way!" My heart stopped when I saw the Headmistress bustle past the crowd and arrive to the sobbing banshee and the so fucked head girl. The headmistress took one look at Daisy and clasped her chest, "Dear Heavens! What happened!?" She asked breathlessly. "This monster, punched me in the face!" Daisy screeched, causing many people to rub their ears in pain. MaGonagall to one look at me and her mouth dropped open. "Is this true Miss Weasley!?" She gasped. I opened and closed my mouth, speechless. "Daisy called her a tramp!" Harley said allowed, clearly trying to save my ass. "And a few other things." She added weakly, looking confused and worried. The headmistress looked beside herself, "A fight on the first day of school? This is unacceptable! Both of you shall receive detention! Fifty points taken from both of your houses, and Miss Weasley. This is your one and only warning, if something like this happens again, I'll be forced to take away your badge and privileges." She yelled angrily, her mouth a thin line. I didn't know whether to be relieved or mortified. I had never lost so many house points before in one day! "You need to see Madam Pomfrey, go on." She snapped at Daisy, who tried to hide her broken nose from everyone with her blood stained hands. The headmistress looked around at everyone, "Well? Go on! Get to class!" She barked before marching down the hall. Everyone scurried into the great hall, except Harley. She had crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, shit. Time to fess up.
