I actually intend to make this as humorous as possible.
And, Vidisha, if you see this, I really love you a lot. Thanks for being my friend.:)
CHAPTER 1: what happened in Vegas, part 1
It was past midnight. They had finally been successful in catching J.J, a dark wizard after whom all the auror departments of the wizarding world was after. It was Rose and Scorpius who had cracked the case, which had brought them to Las Vegas. J.J was hiding in some muggle shack, which they soon found out, with their superior auror skills.
Everybody thought that Rose and Scorpius was an item. But they strongly denied any feelings for each other. They hated each other in school, and the only reason they spoke to each other as humanely possible was because of Albus.
Rose thought him to be very proud, and very egoistic. But she did respect him, as he did have a lot of brains. Also, he was a smart guy.
Scorpius, on the other hand, found Rose to be immature. She was, indeed, VERY intelligent, but when it came to practical things, she was lost which made her highly amusing.
For celebrating their success in catching J.J, Scorpius suggested that they should try going to the local casinos ,as that was all Vegas was about. And after months of brain-racking on J.J, he said that they needed fun. And after a lot of convincing, Rose agreed.
During the mission, they had been staying at the Montecito, a famous nine-star hotel in Vegas. The President Of Operations, Danny McCoy, was a friend of Scorpius, who had insisted them to stay at his hotel. Though he was a muggle, he knew that Scorpius and Rose were secret agents from Britain, and had come to catch a high-security-vault breaking thief.
Scorpius did not understand much about card games. He actually had no clue about what they were about. So they decided to go to the lounge bar, Opus.
Scorpius ordered some drinks for himself and Rose followed suit. There was a long silence between them, and Rose could not bear it. So she decided to break the ice.
"So…..hmmm…..what is this drink that you ordered? I mean, what is it called ?"
Scorpius shrugged and said, "Vodka, with lime juice. Dad ordered it once when we had gone out with some muggle neighbors. That's how I remembered the name….Why…you don't like it?"
"No!Of Course not…it isn't like firewhisky, though…I miss it back home…when are we going back?",she asked, with a little smile on her face.
" Maybe day after tomorrow…I don't know….a lot of work has to be done before we leave.", he replied , staring at his legs.
"What's wrong, Scorpius? Why do you seem so uncomfortable? You don't like it here? We can go back to the room..if you wish..", she asked, showing a lot of concern .
"No…..I want to stay here….it just seems a bit awkard…", he looked up at her.
"What's awkard? I think I want to take more of this drink..it's nice..." she turned towards the bartender and said.. "two scotches, please…the best you have."
"Hey! I thought you had no clue about muggle drinks!", he said, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Oh Scorpius, the things you don't know about me could fill a book. I had once gone out with Derek Thomas, to some local muggle pub in London. He taught me some names…and made me have most of them.." she said, with a little colour rising her cheeks.
"You dated Derek Thomas? He is such a jerk. Why would you even do that?
" For your information, he is very sweet, but he turned out to be gay. Actually, bisexual, since he was dating me and Lysander at the same time." She replied, laughing very loudly, though her cheeks were becoming red, as she inherited the famous weasley gene.
"For Merlin's sake, you turned a man bisexual! That's worse than turning him gay!", he laughed.
" You ,of all people, should not talk about dating the wrong people. You dated Scarlett Zabini. She is such a…..WHORE.", she said, giggling.
" Atleast she sleeps with men. Now the number does not fall under this. Derek got so bored with you that he dated Lysander..hah!",he replied , with a smirk on his face.
"Whatever. So…you liked anybody in Hogwarts? I mean…you never showed the feelings to her, but liked her immensely?" She asked, trying to change the topic.
"Well… I did like someone, at a point of time, but she never took notice in me…." He said, while looking down at his drink. "You do have a better choice of drinks than me…tell some more names..I want to try all of them..", he pleaded.
"Scorpius! How can say such things? You do realize that if you drink all the drinks I know of, well, you won't have any clue about what's going on. But we can have a little…of each."
" Did I ever call you ROSALINE? Then why, do you call me SCORPIUS? please, call me don't call me anything. Scorpius sounds .."
"Weird. And creepy. Fine , I'll call you .", adding different expressions at every syllable of his name."
AFTER SOMETIME….
They were laughing and giggling together, as if they were friends for a long time and met after ages, and nobody took notice that the different types of drinks that Rose ordered after every fifteen minutes had a great contribution to it.
"You do have a lot of knowledge about muggle drinks, Rose…I'm impressed…", he said…
"Oh please, stop it..you're making me feel….."she started laughing before she could complete the sentence.
"Feel what?"he said, in a way that made her giggle.
"I don't know…."
"But I know. You're so beautiful, you know that?"
"Oh Scorp….I'm beautiful? Well, you're hot. You know that?"
" Well, many girls before you told me that. But coming from you…it's something…", and he smiled.
"Are you blushing? .God. Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy is blushing! Well,, that was not expected…", she teased him, with a sparkle in her eye.
"So tell me more about yourself", he said, as he gulped down a shot.
"Tell you what?" she asked.
"Tell me about the Weasley family tree, Albus tried to teach me that long-time back, but he got confused in the middle and never completed it. Tell me from your grandfather's time."
'Well, my Granddad and Nana had seven children, and my father was the sixth child….and Aunt Ginny was the youngest of all….." but before she could say more, Scorpius held her face in his palms and said. "You're so cute when you speak hurriedly, you know that?"
"I have no words…I'm speechless…..", Rose said.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time." He said, as he tried to search something in the chocolate-brown eyes that were looking back at his.
"Do what?", she stared back at his silver-grey eyes.
"This.", And he kissed her deeply that it took her breath away.
She returned his kiss with intensity equal to that of his.
The night that followed was a blur, for both Rose and Scorpius.
