The evening before Scorpius had been perplexed to find Jocelyn Mitchell apparently smitten with him. Though they'd always had an amiable relationship, they hadn't ever been great friends in Scorpius's mind. They ran in different circles, her a muggleborn and him a pureblood and, that aside, she appeared to be getting on quite well with Jamie Potter of late. Scorpius could only surmise the sorts of things said behind doors between the two but he guessed kind words about him were not one of them. So her interest struck him as not only rather odd but sudden. Apparently Potter had a thing for birds who had a thing for Scorpius.
As news spread around campus the truth became clear: a potion had been slipped to a handful of students who all appeared to be suffering the same effects. With this new light shed upon the situation Scorpius saw not an annoying turn of events but an opportunity. After all, those who obsessed over another usually did all they could to win that person's good graces. Instead of pushing Jocelyn away he decided to take advantage of the situation. And if Potter could see Scorpius walking around with his girl, all the better.
"I think an evening by the swimming hole is in order," Scorpius told the petite, dark-haired girl as he swung his bag over his shoulder. The weekend had started with colour-changing hair, involved a love potion, and ended with an unexpected call into work. Meanwhile Scorpius still had studies to take care of and runes to read. Time for some relaxation. "Carry these?" He handed two large tomes out to her.
