Ogling Man Flesh by Luvscharlie
"Honestly Malfoy, how many of these books are you going to make me look through before we can just complete the damn essay?" Rose whinged.
"As many as it takes until we get what we need," Scorpius retorted, his patience stretched.
"Fine. You know that you're absolutely no fun at all, right?"
"So you tell me every chance you get." Scorpius flipped another page, and Rose headed back towards the library shelves to retrieve yet another book. About the time she stood, Allie Longbottom approached.
"Have you heard, Rosie?"
"Heard what?"
"That they're having Quidditch try-outs this afternoon. Like NOW."
Rose gathered up her cloak and commenced giggling. Scorpius' already tested patience snapped. "Are you really Hermione Granger's daughter? According to my father, your mother was quite studious. And you—well, you're just not."
Rose leaned down and put her face near his. "And I've been told your father was an egotistical, moronic arse hat. Are you?"
Scorpius glared. She had a point, and oh, how he hated it when she bested him.
"I guess we aren't all like our parents, are we now, Malfoy? Or perhaps some of us are."
Scorpius added snarling to his glare.
"Godric, the rippling muscles, the sweaty hair, the—"
"Calm down before you need a moment with yourself," Allie said, and Scorpius turned red in the face.
Rose grinned at her friend, then turned to Scorpius. "Now, you finish our project, while I go off to ogle some firm, muscular man flesh."

Author's Note: This was originally written for the 2009 next_gen_ldws on livejournal where our character was Rose Weasley and our prompt was a stack of books and the drabble had to be 250 words or less. I actually like making Rose the complete opposite of her mother, but this one did not make it through. This was my last week competing. It was truly a treat to write with such wonderful writers.
