Chapter Four: Uh-Oh!

During the two weeks after their meeting at the clock tower. Rose and Scorpius wrote each other letters and received them every morning. They didn't talk much in pulic except in class; but they had to be careful of what they said as to not say something too revealing.

Exactly two weeks after their meeting they both tired of hardly being able to talk to each other. They decided to find someplace they could meet up.

Rose had overheard James and Albus talking about a place called the Room of Requirement and it sounded like the exact place that she and Scorpius had been looking for. So, the next Saturday they set off to find it where Albus had said it was.

They found it easily and entered through the door on the wall. Inside they found comfortable looking chairs and couches, a fire, lots of sweets, pumpkin juice and butterbear. They sat on a couch and curled up together.

"Rosie, I'm glad we gave this a chance," Scorpius said, kissing the top of her head then smiling down at her.

"Me too, Scorpy," said Rose, scooting down to lay her head on his lap. She smiled up at him. He lifted her up slightly so he could lay beside her. Now, close together, facing each other Scorpius kissed her sweetly on the lips. She smiled as she kissed him back. He shifted her so that she was laying on top of him. She pulled back nervously.

"Scorp--," she started, but Scorpius placed a finger on her lips.

"Rosie, I'm not trying anything, I was just making it easier for us as the couch isn't very wide," Scorpius explained.

"Oh," Rose said melting into him and kissing him fiercely. His tongue traced the outside of her lips begging entry. Rose parted her lips slightly then closed them again, teasing him. She smiled under the kiss.

"Rose," Scorpius moaned against her lips before tracing them again. This time she opened them enough that his tongue could make entry into her mouth.

They kissed like this for many minutes then Rose threw her head back and Scorpius started to kiss her neck then pulled her back down to kiss her mouth again. Then suddenly there was a rattle at the door.

Rose sat up immediately, "Crap," she whispered, "It's a good thing we locked the door, that could've been very bad if whoever is at the door walked in right then."

"I know," said Scorpius breathing heavily pulling her too him, "and we can't leave unless we know whoever it is, is gone."

"I wish there was a peephole on the door that we could see who it is," said Rose looking at the door. Then suddenly, as if it had been there all along, there was a peephole.

"Well, that's convenient," said Scorpius standing up to go look out it. Rose stood up and followed him.

"Oh, crap!" Scorpius whisper-yelled after seeing who was out there. Rose hurried forward to look out into the corridor.

"He can't see us," she said at once, "He'll tell Mum. Or worse, Dad," Rose added dramatically. Scorpius laughed making her giggle.

"I wonder what he needs in here for?" Scorpius inquired out loud.

"I dunno," said Rose, "and I can't very well ask him."

"But you can!" he exclaimed.

"What're you--" started Rose.

"No, think about it. If only one of us leaves the room he can't be suspicious. I wish there was another door for me to leave out of while Rose talks to James," he explained and another door appeared on the other side of the room, "Now, I'll go out that door and when I'm gone change what you needed in the room and go talk to James. Then write and tell me what happened."

"Okay," said Rose looking up at Scorpius expectantly. He bent down to kiss her and she threw her arms around his neck; his worked their way around her waist. He then lifted her up placing his hands on her butt as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Her fingers entangled in his hair holding him close to her.

They were so caught up in the moment that they didn't even hear the door open. They did however hear James yell, "WHAT THE HELL?!"

Scorpius dropped Rose quickly and backed away from James. Rose, however, took a step towards him.

"Hi, James. What brings you to the Room of Requirement?" she said conversationally.

"Hold up," James said, "I think I'll be the one asking the questions." Rose shrugged and started towards the couch grabbing Scorpius on the way. She pushed him down and snuggled up against him. She looked up at James who was staring at them confused.

"Okay, James, I'm comfy now. If you want to ask questions get to it," she motioned towards an armchair across from the couch and added, "but sit and make yourself comfy, too."

James walked to the armchair and eyed it nervously before sitting in it perched on the edge.

"James, just sit back and get comfortable, we're not going to try anything," Rose said as she looked at her cousin amused. James sat back carefully, crossing his arms across his chest.

"How long has this been going on?" James asked.

"Umm.... two weeks and two days," Rose answered easily, "Next question."

"Why him, Rose? You could do so much better," James said sneering at Scorpius. Scorpius, however, was too busy looking at Rose to watch James.

"Because, James," she said, "I love him and there's nothing you can do about it." She fought back the ridiculous urge to stick out her tongue.

"Rose!" James exclaimed, "He's a Malfoy! Did you hear me? A Malfoy!"

"Yes, James, I heard you!" Rose answered loudly, "And your point is?"

"Are you deliberatly trying to give Uncle Ron a heartattack?!" he said even louder.

"No," said Rose calmly, "Because he doesn't know," she is glaring at her cousin, "And he won't know until we decide to tell him," she added menacingly, taking out her wand in preperation to hex him.

"Okay, Rose, calm down," James said moving away from her, "You're scaring me."

"Good," she said icily, still glaring at him. Scorpius started rubbing her shoulders and back in an attempt to calm her down, "James, you will not tell anyone about this until we decide to tell people about it. Got it?"

"Yes," James replied obediantly.

"Good," Rose repeated standing up with Scorpius mimicking her, "We're going to leave now but I ask you to step outside to wait unless you want to witness another display like what you walked in on."

"Yeah, I think I'll wait outside," he said leaving the room.

Rose turned to Scorpius, "His word is only good for a week, two at the most. I think we need to start telling people and getting them on our side before we tell our parents."

Scorpius looked down at her and kissed her forehead, "Rosie, we'll be fine and whether or not our parents like it we'll be together." Rose smiled at him.

"I love you, Scorpius," she said embracing him.

"I love you, too, Rose," he replied, "Now where were we when James so rudely interrupted?" he said lifting her back up. She giggled and kissed him. She traced his lips this time moaning his name before he allowed her tongue entrance to his mouth.
