Quiet Rose Weasley. My family would call me that with an endearing tone that I never liked. Why would they think I'd like to be thought of as someone who was scared of people and their reactions? Quiet Rose Weasley was what they called me. It wasn't until my last few months at Hogwarts that I finally lost that blasted nickname.
Rose sat on the edge of her seat like every other Gryffindor in the Quidditch stands waiting to see how much injury the Gryffindor Seeker had sustained. Scorpius Malfoy was the seeker. No one was really shocked any more that Malfoy was a Gryffindor.
Rose didn't like him, but it wasn't because he was a Malfoy. He was an arrogant son of a bitch. He always strutted around like he owned the damn place. He could get any girl that he wanted; oh and he got them. He wasn't top of the class, that position was still Rose's. But Malfoy was the first one to raise his hand, almost Hermione Granger like, but he somehow managed to not look like a nerd. Maybe, Rose admitted to herself, she was jealous of him. He wasn't afraid to just be himself. He wasn't afraid to stand up for something he cared about and he always said what he thought. Which Rose hated sometimes because they were mean, but they were also true.
"Oh my Merlin, oh my Merlin, oh my Merlin." Sarah McLaggen, sitting directly behind Rose, kept saying over and over. Rose wanted to say shut up, but she didn't. Sarah was Malfoy's latest girlfriend, but why he was dating her, Rose will never know. Sarah was the product of Lavender Brown and Cormac McLaggen.
It seemed the whole crowd had stood up to see what was happening. Malfoy had taken a bludger to the head and the stomach almost simultaneously. He fell off his broom and fell about one hundred feet before Albus and another beater managed to catch him. It was really bloody and Madame Pomfrey was now escorting him off the field.
It was dead silent. "Look!" Rose shouted, "Look! Malfoy's got the snitch!" Surprising herself with the sudden outburst.
Everyone sitting around her looked surprised that it was she who had spotted and yelled this. They all looked at her shocked, then the words seemed to sink in and there was a shout.
"Gryffindor has beaten Ravenclaw. It looks like Scorpius Malfoy grabbed that snitch before he was hit." Nick Jordon shouted over the loudspeaker. "Thanks for telling us Rose Weasley. Now, how about that date? Ouch. Proffessor. Yow that hurt. I didn't mean it okay"
A lot of people laughed and looked at Rose who was blushing furiously. And in the mass confusion and the celebrating and the worry, Sarah McLaggen managed to knock Rose over, giving her a bloody nose and lip and probably a black eye too. She may have twisted her ankle also, it was hard to tell, but it hurt. So off to the damn hospital wing she went.
