The "Enemy"…
Stacks of books surrounded Rose as she sat near the back of the library. The smell of the musty pages were intoxicating to her senses. Being a prefect gave her the opportunity to come here late at night and be alone. Alone time was a hard won commodity in the Weasley family.
She pushed back her unruly red curls as she sat studying for her potions exam. Professor Slughorn expected a lot out of her because of who her parents were. It wasn't easy being the daughter of two people who helped end Lord Voldemort's horrific reign of terror on the wizarding world. Trying to live up to the legacy of Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley left little time for socializing.
The sound of footsteps startled Rose since the library was rarely visited this late at night. From around the corner appeared none other than Scorpius Malfoy. She knew little about the blonde haired boy except that her father hated his father. His family had several former death eaters in its midst, which made him persona non grata at Hogwarts.
Scorpius seemed surprised to find someone else in the library this late in the eve.
"Sorry… I didn't mean to interrupt… I could leave." he stated in a silky voice.
Rose nervously smiled up at him.
"No that's quite alright. There's plenty of room for both of us.", she whispered.
Scorpius sat down next to her. She could smell the musky scent of his cologne and his close proximity made her feel giddy. What would her parents say if they knew she was in the library late at night with only a Malfoy for company.
They sat in silence, both working studiously side by side. Suddenly they both got up. As they reached up to the stacks for the same book, their fingers brushed against one another.
The air grew heady around them. The electricity shocking them both. The same electrical current was like a magnet, drawing their lips together. His hands tangled in her curls and Rose felt her own grasping at his muscular shoulders.
The kiss ended as abruptly as it happened. Leaving them both breathless and in shock. Scorpius was the first to speak. "I wonder what our parents would think of this."
His eyes were full of mischief and his lips beheld an equally naughty smirk. Rose just grinned back as she let her lips again meet those of her "enemy".
