Enchanted

When One Of My So Many OTPs Happened.

SCORPIUS'S POV

I was talking to Ross and Jake about the House cup finals that were soon about to take place , (and how Slytherin was going to slay this time), when Rose's group got of the train, since Al had left our compartment, I had plainly assumed that he had gone to theirs. And there he was, but their were two of them missing.
I immediately turned to look back at the train, Rose and Ali weren't visible anywhere.

"Hey buds, I'm going to head towards these fellows okay? Grab a seat for me in the hall." I told Jake and Ross. Waving at me, the two continued walking forwards towards the carriages.

As I made my way across a the group, I immediately knew something was seriously wrong. Despite Rose and Ali's Mysterious disappearance, Zoe was crying, and the rest looked noticeably subdued.

Before I could ask what had happened, Lysander pulled me aside.
"Aiden cheated on Zoe. Don't say anything to make it worse."

"Oh shit! That's messed up." I exclaimed. Who could do something like this to someone like Zoe?
He shrugged.
" Where're Rose and Ali?" I asked him.

"They ran out of the train in a hurry, I haven't seen them ever ever since." He shrugged and went back to putting his arm over Zoe's shoulder.

I held her hand and rubbed small circles into it, a small sign on my face twisting into a comforting smile. I had never been through tough break ups, so I didn't really know what to do.

We all pilled up into Carriage and rode up to the school.
Where the hell were they?

***

Fifteen minutes later found all is Hogwarts students sitting at our respective house tables, yet, no sign of Rose Granger Weasley or Alice Longbottom.
Al and I glanced anxiously at the door which was wide open, still awaiting the arrival of the headmistress.
McGonagall strolled in smiling at all of us, followed by Professor Longbottom and the other members of the staff.
After McGonagall's welcome back speech, when we all had started pilling up our plates with food, The doors opened yet again, to reveal, a disheveled looking Alice Longbottom. Al gasped and dropped his fork on the plate at what came next.
Rose, walked in next with droplets of blood on her robes, and her right hand bandaged.
I grimaced at the sight of the pair, who were proceeding to sit beside their group.
Rose looked up to me and tried to smile, well it came out as more of a hey-I don't-want-to-smile-but-I-have-to-because-of-basic-courtesy-smile.
'meet me after dinner' I mouthed to her as she sat down next to a red Zoë. She nodded and started eating her food.
Sometimes, I think she loves food more than she loves me.

I leaned against the pillar outside the great hall and waited for Rosie to come. She did finally, with Lorcan scowling at her shaking his head. They made their way towards me,
"She's bonkers this one. Tell her that. Wrackspurts are meddling with your sanity Rose." And he walked away.

"Should I even bother asking you what the hell a wrackspurt is?" I asked Rose, quite sure it was one of Luna Lovegood's imaginary creatures.

She grinned and shook her head.
"So..." I straightened up. "Where were you and Ali then?"

She sighed and began, "That ass Aiden cheated on Zoë."

I nodded solemnly,"I got to know..."

And she told me, how they went and kicked ass. My only regret? I wasn't there with a camera and popcorn.

"And that's how you got this." I concluded and gestured towards her bandaged hand and her bloody collar.

Ro nodded.
"And have you visited madam Longbottom yet?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Well... There wasn't enough time you see, so I just used ferula."

"Perfect! Let's go there then shall we?"
"Where?"
"Off to the infirmary."
And I pulled her across the hallways.

We were almost there when the sounds of two voices made us stop short.

Zoë and James.

ROSE'S POV

I whipped my head towards Scorp who quickly pulled me behind a pillar.

"You want me to stick a cane down his throat?" Came James's voice.

Zoe gave a subtle hint of a smile.
"Nah. Rosie took care of him, broke his nose from what I heard." I smiled smugly and patted myself on the back while Scorp rolled his eyes.

"Cool! Who knew that wimp could throw a punch?" James exclaimed.

I narrowed my eyes and huffed as my oh-so-pleasant boyfriend laughed gleefully.
I could throw a punch at you right now you Jackass.

Zoë punched James's shoulder. Attagirl!
James laughed.

"At least you don't have to worry about telling him that we kissed on New Years eh?" James asked Zoë.
My mouth fell open.
Those sly Assh**es.

Zoë looked up at James.
"But I thought you told me it wasn't a big deal. Our kiss I mean."

"Well, it wasn't. You were in a relationship, and besides it was the heat of the moment. "
I face-palmed.
Stupid male ego.
Just friggin admit you like her already!

"Oh. I thought it was a big deal. Never mind, I do seem to think of the impossible these days. A nice relationship with Aiden, a perfect holiday, James Potter. I guess I should head to bed. It's been an emotionally draining day. Good night James." Zoe turned around.

"No... Don't let her go... Tell her... Tell her!!!!" Scorp whispered.

"Get the girl James! This is the perfect moment!!!" I whispered biting my lip. Zoë was almost at the end of the hallway when James yelled.
"Zoë! I, uh, I need to talk to you."

She cocked up an eyebrow. "Isn't that what we were just doing?"

"Zoe.. Listen, I have never been the one who thinks about anything more than once, everything I do is in the heat of the moment. I just do it and move on forwards, same with girls. I'm the fuck'em and leave'em kind of a guy. I spend time with them and the next morning, I don't even remember their names. But with you, Zoe I couldn't even try to forget you. The effect you have on me is, different. I may have been a huge idiot in the past, with the biggest ego ever,.. but I think I'm falling for you. So, yes. It was a pretty big deal for me. The kiss was one of the best things I've ever done in my life. And if it isn't too soon for you, I would give anything for you to be my girlfriend. So will you be my girlfriend?"

Zoe stood there shell-shocked. " James, that was beautiful!"

James gave her a side smile, still nervously anticipating her answer. Zoe ran towards James and latched herself onto him. "Yes."

I would have started squeeling if Scorpius wouldn't have dragged me away from there.

One OTP down, one more to go.
