Caught My Eye - A Scorpose fanfic

Mistletoe

Hope you guys like this chapter! It has been my favourite to write so far.

The Descendants of Olympus has finished now so there will plenty of time for me to focus on this story and The Seven and The Camcorder! If you haven't read the later go check it out.

Also I have plans for a sort of demigod talk show in the future.

Thanks for everything lovelies

Rose

 

She hurried through the courtyard, scarf wound tightly like a balaclava. Strands of red hair flew loose from her ponytail, and a stack of silvery papers were clasped to her chest. As she reached the other end she plastered one to a wall with spellotape. It had small snowflakes spiraling down the page and said in curly letters:

‘Fifth years and up are cordially invited to the Christmas Ball. It is to be held on the 24th of December from 8pm - Midnight. Bring a date and don’t be late!’

She stood back admiring it happily from a distance. Late last night she had finally figured out how to charm the snowflakes to move. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t counting down the days to Christmas Eve and when she could twirl around the Great Hall in a ball gown.

Scorpius and herself had managed to convince Professor Flitwick to let them have it.

 

Speaking of Scorpius, she had been pondering his confession of late. Why were the Death Eaters reforming? Who was their new leader? Was Voldemort back from the dead?She bit her lip with worry as she made her way around the castle sticking up posters, lost in thought.

 

She was so distracted she didn’t notice the ominous green leaved white flowered plant until she stepped under it. At once her feet were stuck to the floor. Her body froze as her mind caught up and she looked to the ceiling.

 

Mistletoe.

 

“IS THIS SOME KIND OF FUNNY JOKE?!” she yelled. “TRAPPING THE UNEXPECTING HEAD GIRL UNDER A BUNCH OF GREEN LEAVES. OH HOW FUNNY HOW CLEVER!”

 

By the time she had let all her anger out a significant crowd had gathered around her sniggering and laughing, clogging up the corridor.

 

“Rose?” a blonde haired girl made her way to the front, books spilling out of the satchel on her shoulder.

 

“Nique!” Rose sighed with relief. “Thank Merlin. I’ve got stuck under some mistletoe could you help me out? These people won’t.” She sent a venomous glare the way of the crowd.

 

Dominique held a hand to her mouth, obviously trying not to laugh. “I didn’t think it was true until now! There have been rumours for weeks but-”

 

“But what?!” Rose snapped getting impatient.

 

“Well a couple of seventh years have set up enchanted mistletoe around the school. You can only get out by kissing someone!” The Ravenclaw smiled awkwardly at her friend.

 

“Ugh! I am going to kill those twits!” She fumed, running her hands through her messy hair. “What can I do?!”

 

“Oh Rose!” Hugo, her younger brother had arrived too, it seemed with Tiffany at his side. They joined Dominique. “I’m sorry but you’re going to have to wait for someone to kiss you!”

 

She glanced into the crowd hopefully. But as soon as she met a boys eye he would look away. Then the bell rung and slowly the crowd trickled out until they were the only ones left in the corridor.

 

“I’ve got class to get to Rose” Tiffany smiled sympathetically at her. “Come on Hugo.” The pretty brunette dragged her boyfriend away.

 

“What do we have now Nique?” Rose asked. Her friend shrugged.

 

“Sorry we’re in different houses Rose - I wouldn’t have the slightest idea.”

 

Throwing up her hands up in frustration she then sunk down to the floor. “Why me? What guy would kiss me?”

 

At that moment Scorpius rounded the corner. A grin formed on his face as he took in the flower then Dominique then Rose.

 

“Oh dear look who’s got into a mess this time” he chuckled.

 

“Shut up” she groaned, folding her arms. “It could have been anyone.”

“But it was you” he answered, smug look on his face.

 

“I’m going to go to class” Nique decided, winking at Rose. “See ya later Posie!”

 

“Oh great.” Rose stood up again. “Unless you have any ideas I’m going to be here all week!”

 

“I do actually” Scorpius announced, stepping closer to her. There was slight apprehension in his brown eyes. Then he placed a hand on her shoulder.

 

Rose felt tingles up her spine. “What?”

 

He closed the gap between their lips. She felt as if she was rising. Which was probably true as her feet became unstuck. There was a slight mint smell on his breath that she adored.

 

It may or may not have been her first kiss.

 

Finally she broke it off. His cheeks had reddened and his palms were sweaty.

 

“Oh thanks.” Rose gave him a small tentative smile. He returned one. “So what do we have right now?”

“Nothing it’s a free period.”

Those were the words she needed to hear. They strolled off together as if nothing had happened.
