"Rose, Tellyphone!" Ron called out the night after that.

"Getting close dad!" she giggled picking up the phone in her room.

"Hello?"

"Hi Rose."

"Oh...hi Scorpius."

"I'm sorry."

"You should be."

"I know."

"So..."

"I was just trying to prove something to Ben."

"What were you trying to prove?"

"Nothing."

"Scorpius...tell me."

"No."

"Oh, Merlin not this again!" Rose exclaimed slapping her forehead. Scorpius laughed.

"Seriously, what were you trying to prove to Ben?"

"That I could get you to do stuff for me." Rose was silent for a moment.

"I'm not going to yell..."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you-"

"Scorpius shut up!" she could almost see his smirk grin.

"Told you so."

"Anyway, what the heck was wrong with you yesterday?"

"I was kind of buzzed."

"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy!"

"It's not like I do it on a regular basis..."

"I don't care, if you ever do that again..."

"Ok, MUM, calm down." Rose took a deep breath and shut her eyes.

"You called me love you know."

"Yeah...that's embarrassing."

"Gee thanks."

"Well...it's just...you're like my best friend." Rose sighed, great...she was stuck in the friend zone.

"Oh and do I even WANT to know what you were doing when you started making noises?"

"What noises?"

"Scorpius, you know what I'm talking about."

"No I don't...make them for me." Rose blushed.

"No. No way."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"That's not a reason."

"It was like when you moaned."

"I don't recall...show me?"

"No!"

"Fine then."

"I swear to Merlin if you ignore me again..."

"Did I say I was going to ignore you?"

"No."

"Exactly."

"So we're cool?"

"Yeah. We're cool."

"Good."

"Good."

"So...what now?"

"Rose?"

"Yes?"

"Can I tell you something?"

"Sure."

"I...IthinkIfancymybestfriend. Ok Bye!" the line went dead and Rose groaned leaning back against the sofa she was sitting on. When would that boy ever stop being so...wait a minute...he had just called her his best friend and then said-

Merlin.
