Scorpius arrived at the Room of Requirement's supposed location about half an hour before the party was set to start, although he doubted the people he wanted to hang out would arrive before 10 pm he wanted to give the Hufflepuffs (who would show up at 8:45), the Ravenclaws (who would show up at 9:00 precisely), and the Gryffindors (who would show up when they pleased, but probably not before 9:30) a chance to loosen up a little with the presents he was bringing with him.

Not only did he bring Butterbeer and Firewhiskey, but he also brought along some of the harder Muggle alcohols and some Muggle drugs (that he probably wouldn't share at this first party, he didn't want Rose to forbid him from coming to parties, he didn't know how much of a stickler she was about drugs and such. Scorpius only used them recreationally of course).

So there Scorpius was standing outside of what he thought was the Room of Requirement, but still looked to him like a blank wall with bags of substances that a student was not supposed to have when suddenly he heard a voice from behind him. "Well, are you going to go in or not?"

He whipped his head around to see Sean Finnegan standing behind him, giving him what Scorpius thought to be quite a mean glare. "I would if I could see the door," Scorpius gave him a sneer. He knew this guy was Rose's boyfriend, but just because he was helping Rose didn't mean he had to be nice to everyone she was friends with. Hell, it didn't even mean he had to be nice to her!

"The door is right in front of you, you numbskull," Sean said and walked to the blank wall Scorpius was staring at. "Did you read your invitation?"

He put his hand on the wall and pressed his thumb down like he was pressing a latch. Scorpius stood in awe as the wall seemingly opened itself for Sean, but still looked like a solid wall to him. Sean disappeared through the wall. Scorpius glared at the blank wall, waiting for someone to emerge so he could be let him.

He blinked a few times, and then suddenly the door appeared. Scorpius went up to the door and knocked with his foot, as his hand were completely full. It was a few seconds later before Rose opened the door. "Oh Malfoy," she said, "why did you knock?"

"Can you not see that my hands are a little full?" Scorpius snapped at her.

"No need to be rude, Malfoy," Albus Potter sneered as he walked closer to Rose.

"Potter, I wasn't being rude I was just pointing out the obvious. Now could someone tell me where to put this alcohol, or it's going to be all over the floor," Scorpius responded quickly.

Rose reached out to take one of the bags Scorpius was carrying and he followed her to a table centered in the middle of the room.

"I was thinking we could put all the drinks here, in a central location," she said. "Does that work?" Scorpius couldn't figure out why she was asking for his approval, maybe she thought he was an expert of sorts. He shrugged as a response.

He looked around the room, "Is all this decorating really necessary?" He sneered at the streamers hanging from the ceiling and walls. It was a little to girly for his tastes. "And this room needs more closets and seating. Thought you wanted to play some party games like in those Muggle 'chick flicks,' you know, things like Seven Minutes in Heaven?"

Scorpius's mum loved those Muggle movies although she was a pureblood, she just found the stories so intriguing because they didn't involve magic.

"You know Seven Minutes in Heaven?" Rose smirked at Scorpius.

"Yeah, so what of it?" Scorpius sneered right back at her. Albus and Sean joined the two at the center table.

"What are you talking about?" Sean asked.

"Malfoy was just saying this place needs more closets and couches," as soon as Rose spoke the room gained two more closets and five more couches. "That's better," she said with a grin.

"Now we wait," Albus said.

"Waiting is so boring," Rose whined. "Why are we here so early?"

Scorpius smirked, "To be a host is to be early and consume the largest amount of alcohol." He took a glass from the table and poured himself a glass of whiskey, the Muggle kind, not Firewhiskey.

The Gryffindors all stared at him as he took a sip. "What are you all waiting for?" I've enchanted these things to refill themselves. We shouldn't run out."

Each Gryffindor poured themselves their choice of alcohol and took a sip. Rose cringed as the vodka burned her throat. "Merlin that's awful," she said.

"Ah yes, the vodka. It's a mouthful to swallow, but it sure does warm up your insides," Scorpius said.

Rose glared at him and then turned to Sean. "Let's go sit on the couch," they left and Scorpius and Albus stood awkwardly near each other.

Albus broke the silence, "Thanks," he muttered.

"Excuse me?" Scorpius said, although he had heard the Potter boy correctly.

"Thank you," Albus said and walked away. Scorpius smiled to himself. This was sure going to be an interesting night.

At 10:30 the party was in full swing. All of the 7th years of every house was there, including some 6th years who tagged along as guests. Everyone seemed to be on the drunker side of tipsy. The music was blaring and Scorpius was hoping the silencing charms Weasley had cast on the room were working to their full extent.

Girls were getting less clothed and dancing very close to the boys who were enjoying it a little too much. Scorpius smiled, this was perfect.

"Scorrrrrrpius," he heard a slurring voice come from his left. "Can you get me another drink?" Gretchen's voice was unusually unbearable when she was in this state.

"Yeah," Scorpius said. "Here love," he Agumenti'd her glass and handed her the water.

"Thanks babe," she went to kiss him on the lips.

"Gretchen," Scorpius said. He was not interested in this tonight. And to be fair, he was hardly ever interested in her. "Not tonight," but somehow, every time Scorpius told her that he just wasn't that into her she never took the hint. And also, sometimes Scorpius did enjoy her company in a certain way.

"Fuck off!" Gretchen stomped her foot and dragged a Hufflepuff that was too scared to say no to her to a close-by couch and started kissing him.

It was then that Scorpius saw Rose Weasley standing on the center table, holding her drink high in the air. "Excuse me!" she shouted.

The music suddenly cut out and everyone looked at her.

"I just wanted to say thank you for coming to this party!" The crowd shouted with excitement and gratitude for her hosting the party. "There will be another one every month so everyone better be there!" Again the crowd shouted their appreciation. "If you want to play Spin the Bottle come sit around the center table. If you don't want to kiss someone you have to take a shot!"

Some of the crowd continued dancing, but more of it crowded around the table. Scorpius went over to join the excitement. He wasn't going to pass on a chance he might kiss a pretty girl, and Gretchen out of his hair for the night so he was a free man.

He sat down next to a red head, probably another Weasley or Potter. "Watcher Malfoy," she said. Yes, definitely a Potter or a Weasley.

The table they were gathered around magically moved itself out of the way and a bottle appeared on the ground. Scorpius couldn't help but marvel at the room, it was practically a mind reader.

"Lily!" Rose said for her spot next to Sean. She was leaning on him just a little too much for her to be considered anywhere close to sober. "You go first!"

The red head sitting next to Malfoy got up and spun the bottle. So she was Lily Potter, Albus's younger sister, a 6th year, he thought. Who had she shown up with? He looked to his right and saw a boy in the spot next to the space Lily had been, must be her date.

Everyone in the crowd gasped and Scorpius guessed the bottle had stopped rotating. They all looked to see who it had landed on… Sean Finnegan. "Kiss him!" Someone shouted from the circle.

Lily shrugged and walked over to her cousin's boyfriend and kissed him firmly… a little too firmly, Scorpius thought. They continued to kiss and Scorpius watched as Rose became increasingly uncomfortable.

"Okay, you guys, that's enough," she giggled and took a sip of her alcoholic beverage. The two broke apart and Sean wiped his mouth in embarrassment. He was a little too drunk too, Scorpius thought.

"I'm taking your turn!" Rose said and spun the bottle before Sean could have the chance.

It landed on Scorpius. No, Scorpius thought. No, Rose thought. It wasn't that they hated each other, it just was an uncomfortable situation for the two of them. As would any kiss between two practical strangers.

"Kiss him!" said the random voice from the circle again.

"Shit shit shit shit," Scorpius heard Rose saying under her breath as she walked toward him.

"Scared?" he said as she approached closer.

"You wish," Rose composed herself and kissed him. Hard.

Scorpius couldn't believe it, but when she kissed him he wanted to kiss her back. She had talent, he thought. It wasn't so often girls could intrigue him in this way, he had high standards for kissing. He was intrigued by Rose.

She pulled away before he could assess the situation entirely, but it was definitely something that would have to be re-examined, purely for research purposes of course. Scorpius stood and spun the bottle.

"Like that Weasley?" he said to her when she sat back down. He watched the bottle closely and when it stopped he smirked. "Because it's not over yet."

A/N: Sorry this is only half the party! But there will be more and it'll be from Rose's perspective.

I have a hard time writing Scorpius, but I think it turned out alright. I want more Rose/Scorpius interaction, and what is going on with Sean? And we need more Albus and more swearing and kissing and drinks and more partying, right? All to come.
