Rose's POV

I sighed. He was late. I mean, Scorpius was always late, but I hadn't expected him to be this time. Alright, maybe I was expecting it. Alright, maybe I'm not upset either. But I am hungry. I know that for sure. I saw him round the corner and stood up, brushing off my skirt and straightening my hair before he noticed me. "Hey Scorp!"

"Hey Rosie."

"I thought I told you not to call me that."

"And I told you not to call me Scorp."

"Alright," I sighed, "You win."

He extended his hand and bowed, "Would you care to join me m'lady?"

"Oh I would enjoy nothing more, good sir."

Scorpius took both her hands and twirled down the street with her, causing them to fall down next to the lake in the process."

"Scorpius you've mussed up my hair!" I fake-groaned and reached to straighten it."

Scorpius swatted my hand away, "I don't care if your hair is messy Rosie."

"Well I do," I said as if he was annoying me. He just grinned.

Scorpius stood up and held out his arm, "Shall we?"

I took his hand, "We most certainly shall."

At Honeydukes, 5 minutes later

I pushed him away, laughing, "You're impossible!"

"And you're insane."

"Fair point."

He had just asked if I wanted to go to Hogsmeade next week as well. Well I don't know we haven't even started this date yet! But I guess maybe, UGH. Just tell him you'll think about it.

"Yeah, of course," I replied. Wait. That's not what I meant to say. Ugh!

"Fantastic," Scorpius grinned at me.

Well there's no way it can be terrible. I mean, it's Scorpius. We walked around the store, me buying multiple prank candies to use on my brother, Scorpius gladly helping choose them. After that we walked down to the Three Broomsticks and had a few butterbeers. Honestly, it wasn't anything special; we just talked. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was wonderful, but it was weird. It just felt like, I don't know. Like it wasn't abnormal. Just us, being together. It was nice.

At the castle, an hour earlier

Lily's POV

I was heading for Hogsmeade to meet my friends when I bumped into someone. "Oh gosh! I'm so sorry!" I bent down to help him pick up his books, then stood up and handed them to him. Oh. My. Gosh. He may or may not have been one of the most gorgeous human beings to ever exist.

"Nah, it's not your fault. I didn't expect to bump into someone so pretty," then he smirked at me. Like, on of those flirty, eyebrow-raised-eyes-staring-into-your-soul smirks.

I melted, "I-uh-um-yeah."

"I'm Hayden."

Being the amazing flirtatious queen that I am, I quickly composed myself, "I'm Lily. Nice to meet you Hayden." I smiled back.

Point, Lily. I looked him over. Tall, probably not in the same year as me, gorgeous green eyes, messy but adorable brown hair, blue tie, Ravenclaw, ooooo smart too! Did I mention gorgeous?

"Want to head down to Hogsmeade together?"

What? What?! YES! "Yeah, sure. I just have to stop by Honeydukes to tell my friends."

"Great."

Great.

Hogsmeade, The Three Broomsticks

We sat down at a table in the corner of the room and a waitress came over to take our order.

Hayden spoke first, "We'll have two butterbeers and a large steak."

The waitress looked at me, "And for you dear?"

Hayden spoke up before I could get a word in, "No, that's all."

I waved her back, "Um, no. That's not all. I'll have a salad with the dressing on the side please."

"Alright sweetie," the waitress replied, looking a bit confused but not questioning.

Hayden raised an eyebrow, "What was that?"

"I was ordering. That's usually what people do."

"But I ordered for you."

"You only ordered one meal."

"We were supposed to share."

"I don't eat steak."

"That's stupid."

"I don't really think that being a vegetarian is stupid, thanks." I stood up and handed the waitress a few galleons, "Here's the money for my meal, thank you."

I headed for the door, but before I left I turned around to Hayden, "Maybe next time you get a date you should be considerate enough to ask the person what they want instead of dominating all their choices."

Hayden stood up quickly and replied, "Sorry, I didn't realize you were such a feminist! I thought you actually liked men!"

My eyes narrowed, "Alright you educated swine, that is not feminism, for the record. It is, by definition, 'the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.' Look. It. Up." I headed for the door once more before spinning around, "You know, normally I wouldn't do this, but you're a special exception. I walked toward him calmly, bringing my face right in front of his. Then I stepped back and punched him, "Oops."

I walked back to the Gryffindor common room to vent about how annoying my date was when I ran into one of my friends from Slytherin, Ashton. "Hey Ash!"

He grinned at me, "Hey Lils"

I walked quicker to catch up with him and laced my arm through his, "So how's your day been goin'?"

"Meh. Had a test in Charms but other than that it was okay."

I sighed, "I agreed to go down to Hogsmeade with some 4th year and he was completely sexist and rude."

"That sucks. Well, was there anything good about your day?"

I thought for a moment. "Kinda."

"What was it?"

"I punched him."

Ashton stopped and turned to high five me, "Nice!"

I high fived him, but then just shrugged.

"I'm guessing it doesn't outweigh the bad stuff?"

"Nope."

He pulled me into the stairwell of the Divination tower and pulled my hand to encourage me to walk upstairs. I inquired, "Where are we going?"

"To the divination room."

I narrowed my eyes, "But why?"

Because I want to make your bad day better.

"Cryptic."

He just continued leading me up the stairs. When we reached the top he pulled me into the empty classroom and lead me to be leaning against the wall.

"Will you please tell me what we're doing here?"

"How 'bout I show you what we're doing here?"

My eyebrows raised, but before I could answer, his lips connected with mine. What the heck was THIS?! I thought we were just friends! But, I mean, it's definitely not bad.

Before I realized what I was doing I was kissing him back harder. His arms wrapped around me and I set my hands on his shoulders. It didn't last as long as I would have liked before Ash pulled away.

"Sorry uh—I I was just gonna, gosh you're a good kisser Lils."

I blushed and waited for him to finished his sentence.

"What I was trying to say was, I was just going to try to make you laugh and cheer you up but then you we're just there and," I interrupted him with another kiss, this time my hands traveled into his hair and thoroughly mussed it up. After a couple more minutes I was the one to pull away. All I could think was, I just snogged my best friend. What am I even doing? But ya know what? I. Don't. Care.

"You're great too Ash. Really great. But first order of business, what the heck was that?"

"I've just liked you for a while and…."

"Cool."

We both grinned like idiots. I spoke first after the silence, "Let's do that again sometime." I winked and strode away, hoping I looked way more composed than I felt.

Albus's POV

I was running down the hall to meet Scorpius in our common room when I bumped into Lily, noticing her mussed up hair/lipstick. I stopped dead in my tracks. "Bloody hell, who was it Lils?!"

She looked thoroughly confused, "What?"

I replied with my eyes still wide, "Who were you snogging?"

"Oooohhhh… Nobody."

I narrowed my eyes. "If you don't tell me I'll kill him."

It was Lily's turn to narrow her eyes, "You can't kill him if you don't know who he is."

"Dang. I'll just talk to Ashton. He's her best friend right? I guess."

A couple of minutes later, in the Slytherin Common Room

"Hey Ashton, do you know who my sister was snogging? I need to kill him."

Ashton's face went white. "Nope. No idea. Sorry."

I sighed, "Oh well."

Rose's POV

I was sitting in the library studying when I got a very pleasant surprise. It was thoroughly amazing. But let me start from the beginning. Forgive me if I rush, I'm still a bit excited.

I was in the library. I just picked out a book about transfiguration from the restricted section. (I have an all access pass from McGonagall because she figured she wouldn't be able to keep me out of there anyways.) So I opened my book, and started reading. I was about two chapters in when Peeves knocked a shelf of books over in front of me. After cussing very profusely for a couple of minutes since I had lost my book in the catastrophe I decided to give up and find another while the bookshelf was repaired. I walked down the aisles of books looking for something else to read when I bumped into someone. Thankfully, It was Scorpius. Not nearly as embarrassing as it would have been if he were a stranger.

He attempted to keep me from falling, but unfortunately we both ended up on the ground. I struggled to stand up but we were thoroughly entangled, so as soon as I moved I ended up falling again. Right on top of Scorpius.

No I don't think you understand. Right on top.

Let me paint you a picture. He was on his arse, legs apart and leaning up on his elbows. I was on top of him, with my knees in between his legs and my hands right next to his, our heads almost touching. No one saw any of this, because we were in the back corner of the library, but a few seconds after that I wasn't going to care anyways. Because, as my eyes widened and I started to move away to stand up, he grabbed my hand and pulled me back, kissing me. And bloody hell was it a good kiss.

Thank goodness no one managed to walk by when he pulled me onto his lap so I was straddling him. Thank goodness no one strode along when our hands went into each other's hair. Thank goodness no one took a stroll past us when he started kissing my neck.

Obviously, I'm a good girl. (Don't even try to argue with me) So we didn't do anything, you know, bad. But daaanngggg 10 out of 10 would snog again. Of course, the stupid curfew bell had to interrupt. If not, I'm positive someone would have caught us.

Narrator's POV

Gryffindor Common Room

Rose hurried up to her dorm to change into pajamas and make herself generally presentable and not as if she'd just snogged someone senseless a couple of minutes ago.

All the Gryffindors gathered in the common room. (Including Rose, James, Teddy, Lily, Dominique, and Fred II.) Everyone wanted to play a game, so Lily suggested something called "Bang, Bang." Everyone agreed so she started to explain the rules.

She spoke loudly so everyone could hear, "Basically, you spin around in a circle with your eyes closed. Whichever person you land on you either say "bang" or "would not bang" depending on whether or not you would, you know, bang them.

Fred piped up, "We should invite the other houses to come play!" So all of the others snuck down to the Gryffindor common room to participate. Lily decided to go first. She stood up in the middle of the circle and spun around, the first person she landed on was Albus. "EW! Definitely would-friggin-not bang!" Next she landed on Ashton. She easily said, "Bang." And Ashton earned plenty of stares from the Potters. Lily spun around one last time and landed on Rose. "Would Not Bang."

(AN: Leave suggestions for the Bang Bang game because I've literally got nuthin. Thank you all for reading once again and treat yourself to some chocolate cause you deserve it.)
