Scorpius tapped his pencil onto the paper. "Come on, Scorpius. Think, think," he muttered to himself. "Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain, so who's your villain?"
His office door opened, interrupting his train of thought, and he looked up, his breath catching at the sight of the woman who entered his sanctuary.
Her hair was a striking red and when she smiled at him, a delightful shiver ran down his spine. "Hello. You're Scorpius Malfoy, the playwright, right?"
Scorpius nodded dumbly and when she stopped in front of his desk, the the scent of peach blossoms reached his nose. That, combined with her beautiful voice, and even more beautiful face, completely enchanted Scorpius.
He swallowed and tried to catch his breath. It had to be dangerous to feel so lightheaded so quickly.
Her eyes twinkled, as if she could see and understand his struggle to breathe normally.
Thankfully, she didn't tease him about it and continued to talk about why she was there. "My name is Rose Weasley and I'm an inspiring playwright. As I'm a fan of yours, I was hoping to pick your brain a bit so I might be able to get some ideas of my own."
He regained some of his confidence after hearing she's a fan. "Really? I'm more than happy to help such a pretty admirer. Tell me. Are you just here for my expertise in playwriting or maybe you want something a little more as well?" he asked, suggestively wagging his eyebrows.
She rolled her eyes. "You are spectacularly ignorant."
Scorpius glared. "Oh! You meant "Spectacularly ignorant" in a nice way."
Rose smirked. "Don't talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street."
Scorpius grained. "I like you. You're feisty and I can already see how brainy you are."
Rose shrugged. "Brainy's the new sexy."
"I definitely find you sexy," he murmured, gaze moving up and down her body appreciatively. He was thrilled to see the slight blush.
"Are you going to help me with my playwriting or not?" she asked.
"I will, but only if you go on a date with me."
"You drive up a hard bargain, but..."
"But?" Scorpius encouraged.
"Yes, I'll go out with you."
Scorpius grinned and jumped up from his desk. "Great! So, now about your writing..."
