Hello! My name is Jocelynn. I had been contemplating on whether or not I should post this ff, but I decided to give it a shot. I would have loved to own the wonderful world of Harry Potter, but let's be honest. No one does it better than JK Rowling. The plot and a few characters are mine. The rest are hers.
*******************
Chapter One.
I remember the first time I showed signs of magical ability. I had gotten this beautiful long dress that I absolutely loved, and Hugo(being the spoiler that he is) had to ruin the moment and made fun of me. He said the unicorns on it were way too fat and ugly, and that’s exactly what I looked like in the dress. A fat and ugly unicorn with bright red hair. So I did the logical thing. I chased him with my toy broom. All around the house and up and down the stairs. My dad was becoming a bit irked to the point that his face turned the same color as his hair.
“Hugo, Rose, please stop, you’re giving me a headache.” He said. More running. “Rose, Hugo, what’s the problem?” He asked as I was gaining on him full speed.
“Hugo called me a fat unicorn!” I shouted.
“Rose is trying to kill me!” Hugo shrieked. My dad’s face was crimson, and it’s kind of funny to think about it now, but before, it was really quite….gross. And my parents never bought me anything that had to do with unicorns after that. No, they’d be crazy to after they spent an hour looking for Hugo, only to realize I locked him in the cupboard. Petrified. Ahh, good times.
So if I were to look at my life now, I’d know I had some pretty good memories. I only wish I’d known how much time I had left. No one ever really knows. And I sat on the train, my best friend right beside me, dazed. I heard her shout in my ear, and I jumped while she laughed.
“Oh my gosh, Rose, you should have seen the look on your face. That face was far from attractive.” Said Elena. Her face was tanned with slight freckles on her nose. She had a wide smile and her cheeks were almost always rosy, as if she’d been running a mile or if she was very fond of blush. I glared at her but ended up smiling either way.
“Are you kidding? That‘s my sexy face. It get‘s guys every time.” I told her jokingly.
“Really, Weasley? That face is supposed to be cute? I don‘t see it.” I hear a voice say. And almost immediately my mood diminishes. Why, of all people, must it be him? I turn my head to look at him, you know, all dramatic in stuff like in the movies.
“Malfoy, what do you want?” I asked him, cutting to the chase.
“I’m wondering what type of guys are stupid enough to find that face cute. Whether surprised or not.” He said, his signature smirk plastered on his face.
“Oh really, let’s be honest. You only want what you can’t have. Don’t be jealous though. I‘m sure you‘ll find someone. And hopefully they‘ll be as decent as you are.” I said. All the while in my head I can hear an audience of people yelling “BURN”. And I grin widely when I see the smirk gone. Mission accomplished.
“How can you come to school with your head up high like that? Hang your head in shame, there’s nothing to be proud of. All you Weasley’s will never amount to anything.” He says. And I can feel the blood rush to my cheeks. Elena stands up to hold me back.
“Really? Quite funny, because look at all my uncles, and aunts, and my own parents. They’re perfect for proving you wrong.” I say through clenched teeth. He walks up to me, and we are only inches apart. Only then do I notice his eyes. Stormy grey, but yet I’m unable to read anything.
“Your parents amount to nothing compared to mine. I think we’re all clear on that.” He says. And for a second, it barely registers what he says to me. I’m just trying to look at his eyes. Trying to read them. Trying to break through a stone barrier. Trying to get to him. Unsuccessfully. And when he notices what I’m trying to do, he quickly looks away and storms out. And I just stand there, dazed. All the Malfoys are the same I guess. Instead of their eyes being the window to their souls, they create a stone barrier, so no one can see who they truly are.
Elena is the one to snap me out of it. She looks at, confused.
“Would you mind explaining to me what just happened? You were doing just until…” She trails off. I look at her, a small smile on my lips..
“Have you ever noticed his eyes?” I asked her.
“What?” She says, putting her hands on her hips. “He‘s telling you off and all you do is look at his eyes?” She says in exasperation. Okay, maybe I do sound a bit crazy.
“It wasn’t like that at all. It was like….he’s hiding something. And I need to know what that is. I need to know what makes him tick.” I say, trying to cover of the fact that in truth, I found his eyes intriguing. I wanted to see them again. But Elena unfortunately saw right through me.
“Oh, Rose, no! You know there’s more to that. Oh you’re so gross.” Elena says in disbelief.
“Wait, what are you thinking?”
“Well for starters, you’re blushing like crazy right now. And second of all, you just stood there. Got that?
Stood there. You didn’t say anything. You let him insult you as soon as you guys got closer. And then you obsess over his eyes. I’m no idiot. You have this crazy disgusting school girl crush over a git.” She says me in that know it all manner. I’m scared that this school year she’ll be less like Elena and more like
Mom. I roll my eyes at her.
“Please Elena, how could suggest such a thing? I don’t like him. He’s not even remotely cute to me. Stop reading love stories get out of your little fantasy world. Me and Scoripus, that’s laughable.

Scorpius’ s POV.
Did you know that when someone finds someone else attractive, their pupils dilate? It’s something you have to watch for. For that split second that you look at them, watch for their eyes. Not in that creepy way, I mean, don’t just stare. Look, be subtle if you have to. But when it happens you know. And when I looked at Weasley’s eyes, the same way she looked at mine, I saw them dilate. You really have to watch for hers, because her eyes are chocolate brown, which it’d be harder to tell compared to mine. But you know what the funny and absurd thing is?
I think mines dilated too.
