"Hold on, Malfoy." Rose said as Scorpius was turning around, heading towards his room. "I have a condition too."

Scorpius turned to face her once more. He looked at her, his eyebrows were slighty rising towards the girl. His curiosity level increased tremendously.

"What is it?"

Rose put on a devilish smirk. She had a look in her eye that made the suspense grow. She also paused for a few seconds, just too make it slightly more dramatic. She looked over at the boy. Scorpius had on a face that sort of looked like a two-year-old asking his mom for a new toy. She held in a small giggle.

"No playing around with other girls, whatsoever." She said, her evil smile growing as she spoke the words.

Scorpius's mouth opened, gaping at her. He looked horrified. No words could explain exactly how horrified he was. The words: No Girls just didn't click in his head. They just wouldn't go into his brain. Ever since he went through puberty and gained his teenage hormones, girls were around. Scorpius Malfoy without multiple girls was like Rose Weasley getting a detention. It just didn't work.

Scorpius's cold, grey eyes suddenly had a pleading look in them. "Weasley, come on."

Rose was a stubborn girl. She had to prove a point. Just giving in was something unheard of, completely against her usual character. "Fine then, deal's off."

Scorpius seemed to be arguing with himself. It was actually quite amusing, though Rose didn't want to say that out loud.

After a few minutes, Scorpius began to speak. "Fine, I'll agree, if I can have one more rule."

Rose cocked her head to the side, wondering what the rule could possibly be. "Depends on what it is."

"Since I'll be deprived of other girls, I'm allowed to kiss you." He said, his eyes turning slightly darker. He gained back his smug, signature, Malfoy smirk and stared down at the girl.

Rose's eyes widened as she thought of the horrid thought. It was absolutely revolting. Scorpius Malfoy kissing her?

She was getting slightly pink from frustration when she suddenly saw how close he had gotten to her face. She widened her eyes at the sight. His eyelashes were a few shades darker than his hair, giving them a more mysterious look. His gray eyes had small tints of blue, they looked almost… pretty. She stared at him, unable to look away.

Scorpius slowly got even nearer to her face. His lips met hers softly until he pulled away. It was not as horrible as either of them thought it would be. It was just a kiss, anyways. She was just a bit repulsed about the fact that she had allowed her worst enemy to kiss her. It was disgusting. His lips had been soft and the kiss was generally okay. She just deeply wished that the owner of the lips was not who she knew it was.

"There, I do believe the agreement is settled." He whispered, still pretty close to her face. His breath tickled her nose as he said the words.

Rose finally looked away and shoved him away from her.

He smirked once again. God, I wish he stopped doing that. Rose was never a fan of his smirk. He looked back once, before disappearing into his own room. "Good night, Love."

Rose twitched slightly at the word. She didn't know whether bang on his door and tell him she wanted out of the agreement, or if she should run towards the toilet and throw up because she was actually Scorpius Malfoy's girlfriend. Even though it was fake, it was just as equally nauseating.

She was still, whatever the circumstance, not one to back down.

Rose had woken up an hour before and was sitting on the olive-green couch in the common room. The couch was not only the most comfy, but also had a convenient spot next to the fireplace. Rose was always a fan of fire. It's crackling flames and it's irresistible warmth always dragged her towards it.

She was still in her nightdress and was slightly falling asleep while she was reading her book, The Magical World in its Darkest. It was a fascinating book, but Rose Weasley was never a good morning person. She loved books. That also contributed to the fact that she was top of every single class, but that was not the reason she loved them. They just always comforted her and helped her escape into a different world all together.

"Good morning, Love."

Rose turned around to see Scorpius walk towards her. Rose groaned and put her head slightly back onto one of the couch's cushions. She did not want to be reminded of their previous deal. She also didn't want to be reminded that she would actually have to be civil to the monster that stood about a meter away from her.

"May I ask why you seem to have the urge to but the word "love" with everything you say to me?" Rose asked. The word was getting on her nerves.

"Considering we're a couple now, I just thought that I shouldn't call you Weasley. I didn't necessarily want to call you Rose. It still sounds rather sickening on my tongue." Scorpius suddenly tilted his head to the side and looked at her, as if he was thinking about something deeply. "You know, you shouldn't call me Malfoy either, love."

This was true. She still had to fight back a gag in the back of her throat. The thought of her actually having to call him something other than Malfoy was rather appalling.

Rose gulped. This was going to be a rather difficult process for her. She didn't want to do any pet names, so she decided to just call him by his name.

"Sco-" Rose started. She tried to continue, but it wasn't working out for her. She crinkled her nose in frustration and looked towards the boy next to her. "I don't think I can do this. It's sound so, wrong."

"Come on, love, it's just a name." He said, rolling his eyes.

Rose replied to his comment with a Rose Weasley death glare special. Those glares could be rather prize-winning. It seemed to come so easy to him, calling her something so "nice". It was probably from tons of practice. Calling all his former girlfriends by separate names was probably difficult. Just thinking of pet names for all of them was probably the simplest solution.

Rose sighed with defeat. "Scorpius." She said softly. It sounded so foreign to her tongue. It was rather interesting. It was as if she were calling a completely separate person from the Malfoy she was used to.

She never realized exactly how intricate his first name was. It was actually her favorite constellation, though she would never admit it. Though the name had been the topic of many laughs in first year, it was an elegant name in a strange way. It tasted sweet on the tongue.

Scorpius looked up at the sound of his first name. Rose was avoiding his stare. It felt strange to finally hear his first name from Rose. It was almost, nice, even. He wanted to hear it more often, though he was more familiar with the usual "Malfoy", or even his second names, such as: arse, bastard, jerk.

He walked closer to Rose and bent his head slightly and whispered in her ear. "Good work, love." He pressed his lips lightly onto her forehead. If someone else had seen them, they would probably believe that they were a genuine couple. They looked quite alright together. On the inside, there was a different story. Rose was feeling rather nauseous. She felt her last meal coming up, due to her complete and utter disgust.

Once he pulled away from her, she made a immature face to show her displeasure. Scorpius saw this and chuckled. It actually looked extremely amusing.

"We have to go down to breakfast together."

Rose glared, but in the end, she nodded with agreement. "Fine, just don't expect me to hold your hand or anything."

Scorpius had a mischievous look on his face and she realized what he was doing. He slid an arm across her shoulders, pulling her even closer towards him. This is even worse! Rose glared daggers at the boy next to her. Scorpius could practically feel the furious look. He ignored them, though it was difficult to do so.

Rose wouldn't admit this, but Scorpius's hand was surprisingly warm. It made her feel almost protected. When you originally saw Scorpius's pale skin, you might imagine him cold (just like his personality), but he was a surprisingly warm person.

"Don't you dare do anything to give away are agreement." Scorpius said quietly.

"I won't. You don't do anything either." She said.

He nodded as they made their way into the Great Hall. They could already see numerous pairs of eyes glance towards their direction. A few nudged the people who sat next to them, and the chain went on and on until most of the lunchroom had already seen them. A soft wave of whispers carried themselves across the lunchroom. Do they think we have no eyes? Rose thought.

Before they parted for their different tables, Scorpius gave her a small kiss on the cheek. Rose inwardly cursed to herself. She walked towards the Gryffindor table, only to be greeted by the gaping mouths of most of her numerous relatives.

They all seemed to not know any words to say. The first to speak, however, was a boy with fiery red hair. His brown eyes looked up at Rose, furious and surprised.

"Are you serious, Rose? Dad'll kill you." The boy said.

"Hugo, mind your own business." Rose said, stealing an apple from his plate.

The next to speak, was her cousin. He looked remarkably like her uncle with the untamable dark hair and green eyes. "Rosie, I don't know what to say." Albus said, his eyes filled with emotions that were unknown.

"What do you mean, Al?" She said.

"I'm hurt. You didn't think to tell me, your favorite cousin?" Albus said, obviously joking around.

"Hey. I thought I was your favorite cousin." A chorus of different relatives said. They still had looks of shock on their faces.

Some of her family members, however, just looked at her with eyes of disapproval.

Albus suddenly bent down to whisper to Rose. "Don't worry, about them. They'll come around. I, personally think you have strange taste, but I don't exactly mind."

Rose managed to smile a weak smile at her cousin. She, however, did not really want to deal with her whole family at once at the time. She grumbled under her breath that she wasn't hungry and left the room. She earned a curious look from her "boyfriend" from across the hall.

She didn't want to show off her amazing acting skills at that moment, not that she had any anyway.

She left the hall, heading towards her sanctuary, the library. She didn't know she was followed until she heard the footsteps on the ground. She turned around to see one person she did not want to deal with at that certain moment.

"I can't believe you left me for Malfoy of all people." Lorcan said, his green eyes piercing at Rose.

"Just leave me alone, Lorcan. It's none of your business."

"Come on, Rosie, you don't even like him. You're too good for him anyways."

That just earned him another absolutely deadly glare from Rose.

"How would you know? You don't know anything about me or him. You never cared."

She continued to glare at the boy in front of her and turned away from him. It was true, she didn't like him. After all, you can't just stop hating someone after despising them for almost seven years of your life. The thing was, she wasn't better than Malfoy. Sure, he was an arse, but he was almost as smart as Rose. He was also Head Boy and Slytherin Quidditch Captain.

She shot him one last nasty look before stomping away towards the library one more time. That's when she suddenly felt a tug at her wrist. Lorcan was now annoying her a bit too much. She turned around and swiftly hit the person on the head.

"Ow, love, that hurt. Is that any way to treat your boyfriend?" Scorpius said, rubbing his head. "But honestly, that was a good hit."

"Sorry, I thought you were Lorcan."

"Don't confuse me with that scum."

Rose looked up at him, wondering if he had actually heard her conversation with Lorcan.

Scorpius started to walk away from her until he turned around and smirked (once again!). "Thanks for defending me by the way." He said, raising his eyebrows. His smug expression was irritating.

She just glared at him, "I don't know what you're talking about." She didn't exactly want to admit that she might've just defended him, even if she did.

"Glares speak louder than words. You do have a nasty way with words, too, however." He said.

Rose's cheeks flushed a shade of pink and her ears started to slightly turn red. Thanks for giving me this horrible Weasley trait, dad. Rose thought.

She didn't even realize that Scorpius had walked closer towards the girl. She suddenly felt a pair of lips on her forehead. This made her face turn redder, though she didn't know why. She didn't usually blush for anyone, might as well someone as horrible as Scorpius Malfoy.

"You look cute when you blush, love." He whispered into her ear. His words tickled her ear while his minty breath wafted slowly into her nose. Her eyes widened with embarrassment.

"I wasn't blushing, Malfoy." She said, not daring to look up at the boy and reveal her red cheeks. She did not want to blush for such a person.

"It's Scorpius, love, Scorpius." He said as he started to walk away. She had the feeling that he was expecting her to follow him. She did, catching up to him easily. If it was a date, she might as well play along with it.

It was just pretend, wasn't it?
