Enchanted

Lorcan?!

ROSE'S POV

" Lorcan Scammander!! Get your arse up right now!!! "

We had reached Hogwarts but this one boy seemed in no mood to move.

" what's wrong with you Lorc?" I asked starting to get worried.

" iduhwunnabiaprefectanmore"

"what? I'm sorry I didn't quite get you.. "
" I don't wanna be a prefect any more. " he stated with a sigh.
" is it because of Skye Zabini? "
He gave me a duh look.

" Lorc.... Look it's just one day of each week! You'll be fine. "

" no I won't. She is so annoying Rosie. I've noticed her! All she does is paint her nails, insult other houses, dress up, insult other houses, treat people like shit, insult other houses, oh and did I mention... INSULT OTHER
HOUSES!!! "

I was about to reasure him, when the train started moving.

" Lorc!!! Shit!!! Get up the train's moving!!! We have to get out!! "

" oh damn!! "

He took my hand and pulled me out of the compartment. Since our trunks had already been taken care of, all we had to do was get of the train. He pulled the doors open and took a dangerous step close to the end.
" ARE YOU MAD WHAT'RE YOU DOING LORC!!! "

" Rosie, we gotta jump. "
" no. There's no way I'm jumping off a moving train."
"We have to Rose don't you see!? It's the only way. Please Rose."

I shook my head it's suicide!!!

"OK let's think of it this way. Who is the person you would trust your life with? Someone not your family. "

I tried to think but the answer came to me before that.

" Scorpius. "

He looked shocked. That obviously wasn't what he expected to hear.

" do you trust me? " He said anyways.

I nodded.

" take my hand."

I took it and at once, his arms were around me and we jumped.

After a long walk back from Hogsmeade, we finally made it back to the castle. We were let in by a very worried Neville Longbottom.
As soon as he saw us he ran forwards and embraced us.

Then he looked us up and down his face filled with worry.

"where were you two?! "

When we had told him the entire story, he shook his head and led us inside.

" you missed the sorting but the feast is half way through. I wouldn't have noticed if Scorpius, Albus and Ali hadn't come up to me all frantic. Scorpius wanted to come and get you (he nodded at me) himself, not that I allowed him to of course. "

I smiled as my heart filled with warmth at the thought of Scorp getting worried about me. I was still smiling when Lorc took my hand and led me inside the Great Hall. My smile however dropped immediately as all heads turned towards us and professor Longbottom. I blushed at the sudden attention and it was only when Lorcan took me towards the Ravenclaw table I realized that it wasn't only us coming in late that caused all the attention, it was also our connected hands.
I quickly dropped my hand as I sat down next to Ali gesturing to her that I'll tell her about it later.
My eyes scanned the hall till it landed on the two people I wanted to see
The two Slytherins were looking at me with different expressions.
One with worry and confusion.
And the other, with worry, confusion and anger.
I smiled at them gave him a thumbs up to show them I was OK. Al nodded and turned away while Scorpius looked at me and then at Lorcan. A question in his eyes . I raised my eyebrows and he shook his head and tried to look away.

I ate some food, (read: a lot). And gulped down some desert. Then Lorcan and I stood up to lead the way for the first years.

As we exited the halls shoulder to shoulder I sensed someone looking at me. I turned around to catch Scorpius Malfoy looking at someone close to me with utmost loathing. When I caught his eyes, his eyes drained from all the jealousy. He smiled at and winked at me. And I grinned in response. As I walked away trying to figure out whom he was staring at, Lorcan cracked a joke that made the first years laugh. And it hit me.

Scorpius Malfoy was glaring at Lorcan Scammander. He had never been fond of him.... But now it hit me.....

Scorp likes me....
And I like him....

Damn.
