A/N: This is a bit of a spin off my usual Rose and Scorpius one-shots. In this one, Scorpius is Slytherin, Rose is Gryffindor, and they aren't dating. Just so you don't get confused. This one stands alone and it's a bit angst-y. I don't like this chapter much, I wrote it a little out of character and it's heaps weird.
Please Don't Go – Barcelona
The cool water splashed over Rose's cheeks, and she tried to breathe evenly. She'd locked herself in the dormitory bathroom, and she hoped that Alice wouldn't come looking for her with a homework question.
"I'm a fool," she said aloud. The words made her take a slow, shaky breath.
What she needed was some bad-in-a-good-way Muggle television or maybe a challenging piece of literature to drown herself in. She needed a good box of chocolates and a heating pad and a long nap. She wanted a rainy day and for Quidditch practice to be canceled, because it was hard to concentrate on sports and the upcoming game when your heart was slowly being ripped apart by a member of the opposing team.
This was so typical of her. Excel in everything she did – schoolwork, Quidditch, social life, family – and then fall in love.
With a Malfoy.
Rose hated thinking of the superficial things – what would her family think? – but it was hard not to. Her entire family had a serious grudge going against the Malfoys. Only Andromeda Tonks had been able to establish something like a relationship with her younger sister, Narcissa. She would be disowned and shunned from the people she loved fiercely with all of her heart.
She couldn't let that ever happen. It wasn't worth it, to lose them. Scorpius wasn't worth it.
But there had been today, in the Great Hall, when he had caught her eye across from the Slytherin table, when he'd smiled and winked at her. He'd smiled, and it had been a secret, private smile meant only for her. And when he'd found her after Charms last week and made her late to her class because he just had to get that spell right, and she'd been the only one to succeed.
Rose shook her head repeatedly like a dog and dried her face with her wand. Then, she vowed to bottle up the secret and keep it next to her heart, where no one could take it from her.
She got ready for pain to take her heart's place.
And now she needed to watch some Gossip Girl.
I wrote this totally random chapter tonight because I just looked at the review count, and it's at 104!! That's SO amazing, I never thought I'd get that many reviews! So be sure to review again (and again and again, haha), I accept reviews from people who aren't members of , so please do that.
Oh, Gossip Girl. My guilty pleasure show. I love it, in a hate way. My mom doesn't like me watching it, she thinks I'm going to get ideas. :facepalm:
Anyways! Thanks for reading, and I think another chapter will be up… soon!
