I was walking down the corridor at a brisk pace, wanting to get to the library before curfew. Little did I know that these plans would be swept to the side by Scorpius Malfoy. Even though Scorpius usually dashed these plans, I was still not used to it. Just then, said boy barged out of a presumably empty classroom, his hair mussed, lips swollen, and eyes burning.

"Get away from me! You are such a stalker!" He seemed more frightened than angry, but that was just my opinion. One usually trusted my opinion on Scorpius, seeing as we had known each other since birth. Just then, a coquettish blonde scampered through the doorway of the classroom, her blouse unbuttoned almost to her belly button.

"But, Scorpie! You- You love me, remember?" she said seductively, bending over just slightly so Scorpius got an eyeful of her purple lace bra and advancing slowly. She began tugging not-so-playfully at the collar of his shirt.

"Ugh! No, I do not love you! I don't even know you, and even if I did, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like you at all," Scorpius said disgustedly, backing up quickly and bumping into me. "Oh! Rosie!" he squeaked, turning around to face me, grasping the tops of my arms tightly, his fingers overlapping. He looked into my eyes pleadingly, and it was then that I realized his shirt was also unbuttoned, exposing his well toned stomach to my stupid hormonal eyes.

'Come on, Rosie. You know you don't think of him that way. You're best friends. You can't think of him that way," I thought vigorously to myself. I then buttoned the top button of his uniform, and told him with my eyes to finish what I'd started, and to let me handle the creep. "All right, you bitch. You heard him. He doesn't like you. And, in fact, he probably hates you now." I could sense Scorpius nodding his head violently behind me. It was a talent I had, feeling Scorpius. Not like that, you scum! I always knew what he was thinking, even if we were miles apart. I then shot a Banishing Hex at her, and she flew halfway down the corridor, landing without grace on her bum.

"Whatever, Scorpius!" she called, zipping her skirt and buttoning her blouse. "Have fun with your little whore!"

I clenched my fist around my wand, and Scorpius held me back while I shouted all sorts of obscenities at her retreating form. I finally collapsed on the ground after twenty minutes of screaming. Scorpius knelt down beside me. "Are you okay?" he said softly, still holding my head up from where he'd caught it as I'd fallen.

"Yes," I mumbled into his palm. "Just tired. Yeep!" I squeaked as he picked me up princess style and began to carry me down the hallway.

"Well, you said you were tired," he said, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh my, I seem to be slipping!" he said, feigning surprise and fear. "Oh, no! Just let me rearrange my hands!" he said mischievously, and started to grope up my skirt.

"Scorp!" I squealed, and slapped his face lightly.

"Oh dear, the lady seems not to appreciate my efforts to keep her in my arms! Ah, well. Deal with it, Miss Rosie!" he said haughtily, and hiked my skirt up a little higher.

"You're going to grow up alone and perverted," I said to Scorpius.

He smiled. "I'll have you," he said sweetly.

"Don't be so sure!" I said tauntingly, and hopped out his arms. I twirled down the corridor until I started feeling a bit dizzy. I stopped, but the corridor was already spinning around dizzyingly. I felt myself start to fall, and called out, "Scorp!" He was there to catch me. I knew he would be. He always was, and always would be. "Thanks Scorp," I said breathily, almost parallel to the floor, the only thing keeping me from falling, his right arm. He slowly pulled me up.

"Maybe I should carry you the rest of the way," he said worriedly. "Tired and dizzy does not seem to be the best combination for my clumsy Rosie," he whispered into my ear as he pulled me into his arms, back to kidding.

"Maybe so," I said drowsily, my eyes fluttering closed as soon as I was comfortably wrapped in his warm embrace.

"Rose? Rosie! Wake up! You'll be late for Potions!" I heard Scorpius's voice in my ear.

"Mmph," I mumbled. "Go away."

"I brought you breakfast!" he said enticingly, waving a piece of bacon over my nose tauntingly.

"I'm up!" I shouted, quickly grabbing the bacon out of his fingers with my teeth. "Hey, how did you get up here?"

"What do you mean?" he asked, a confused look upon his face. "Oh, you mean the dormitory. Well...about that...You fell asleep and I can't get up to the girls' dorms, so I- That's my bed. You aren't mad, are you?" he said in a rush, a cautious look in his eyes.

"Oh, Scorp!" I said laughingly. "You thought I'd be mad that you carried me up at least four flights of stairs and let me sleep in your bed just so you wouldn't have to wake me up? You're really thick sometimes, honestly! That was actually very sweet of you. Thanks," I said softly, before pulling myself up and giving him a peck on the cheek before I could change my mind. I felt his blush under my lips, and pulled away to face him.

"Er...D'you want to use the bathroom?" he asked, gesturing down at my wrinkled overlarge tee shirt and flushed cheeks.

"Yeah, thanks...Hey..." I said slowly. "I'm pretty sure I wasn't wearing this to the library last night, Scorp. Did you...?"

"Er, yeah. I wasn't going to at first," he said at my incredulous look. "But halfway through the night you practically pushed me off the bed, rolling around mumbling about your uniform, so I took you in the bathroom and attempted to change you with my eyes closed. I mean, I know we've been practically naked around each other as babies and stuff, but I didn't think you'd like the idea of me clothing you." He smiled sheepishly.

I got up and hugged him tightly. "You are the single most amazing person I've ever had the pleasure to know, Scorpius Malfoy," I said vehemently.

He pulled back, his arms still wrapped around me, and said, "Yes, we've established that, now go get dressed!" I turned around to look at him as I was closing the door, and saw him standing there, just smiling at me.

"Well, Rosie," I said to myself once I was in the shower. "I think it's time you admit to yourself..."

I was in love with Scorpius Malfoy.
