Chapter Four: Scorpius' PoV

The lingering question kept me up, 2 a.m., who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say
It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew


I started on my way home not long after Rose left, there was no one for me to talk to anyway, nothing for me to do, I waved to Lorcan and Lysander and told them I had a enchantingly great time, and they just smirked at me. Drat, did they notice me talking to Rose? Oh, that can't be good. Right as I was about to walk out the door, my mind on Rose again, one of them, Lysander I believe, tapped my shoulder. I turned around, had I forgotten something?

“Scorp, did you know that your blushing like a school girl?” He was laughing hysterically, I just glared at him and punched his arm, before continuing on my way home.

I stared at the sky and was whistling softly to myself as I walked home, the stars were sparkling brightly, and I had to admit, I probably was blushing like an idiot, not a school girl though, that's just a stupid idea, and impossible.

I was completely wonder-struck by Rose, and her beauty. I entered my house, smiling widely, both my parents noticed but refrained from saying something, thaaaaaankfully. And then I sat down on the couch and my face fell, I just realized that things couldn't ever work between Rose and I, I liked her, and she clearly didn't like me.

“Scorpius honey, it's way past your bedtime, get some sleep.” Astoria looked up realizing it was 2 am, she noticed that I was sitting on the couch, staring off into space and looking slightly frustrated, I had been like this ever since I had come back from the Scamander's party. “Scorpius, are you listening to me?”

“Yea, bed, I know,” I mumbled, still dazed, getting up I headed to my room, but I just couldn't fall asleep. I was so confused, a girl as pretty as Rose, HAD to be romantically involved with somebody. I was so frustrated, but who in the world could she be with? It had to some really crappy guy, if he wasn't there to spend time with her. Unless he had a job and a life, and was working on making a foundation for their family. But who was it? Was it like, some professional quidditch player? The handsomest bachelor of the year that wasn't related to her?

Who ever it was, I had to admit, I was insanely jealous of him. Wait, did I just, WAIT! I'm a Malfoy, she's a Weasley this won't, no can't work, but I don't care, I love her. I stopped in dead, not noticing that I was pacing. Did I just say that I love Rose Weasley, no way, but yea way, I was, oh gosh, this is bad, but it's insanely good at the same time. I just wish she was at the door of my house at this moment, so I could tell her how enchanting it was to meet her, and all I knew was that I was enchanted to meet HER.

That's insanely cheesy and makes me want to die, and I'm back to pacing back and forth, still wanting to know who the heck she loved, because it certainly wasn't me. Finally I lay down on my bed again, I was just to tired to stay awake any longer. After what felt like ages, I fell asleep with Rose still on my mind.

When I woke up I was still incredibly tired and I was still thinking about Rose, yup, that pretty much proved that I was in love with her, I've never been able to think about the same girl for longer then one hour. But just one question for myself, why did I have to fall in love with the most beautiful girl in the world and one of the smartest girls, who I am forbidden to talk to, and most likely has an amazing boyfriend that she'll never ever leave. Yea, I've got severe problems with my choice of girls.

I went down for breakfast, still smiling despite all my worries about Rose, and that is when my parents finally couldn't contain themselves anymore, I was expecting them to break anytime.

“Scorpius, what is wrong with you, you've been smiling like a teenage girl ever since you got home from that, and I quote 'horribly, stupid, boring party' is there something I need to know about?” Draco snapped at me, Astoria gave me a worried glance before turning to reprimand my father.

“There's nothing wrong with him sweetie, nothing wrong with smiling, right Scorp?” Astoria didn't even sound like she believed herself.

“Um, nothing you need to know about and I'm not acting like a teenage girl.” Why was everyone using that line against me? “I only met a girl there.”

“A girl, when can I meet her, what's her name, is she pretty?” Thanks mum, I began to blush a little bit at the last question. My dad just spewed his orange juice all over the place, looking freaked out.

“Who is she?” He finally managed to ask.

“Um, just some girl at the party.” It wasn't like I was going to tell them I'd fallen for the girl they (they meaning dad) said I could never talk to or interact with ever.

“It can't be 'just some girl' if your acting like this!” Astoria persisted, and I wanted to disappear, why did I mention that I met a girl?

“Uhhh, I'm going to get ready for whatever I have to do today.” And with that I left the room.
