Chapter 6

Rose and Scorpius were sat, leaning against the Beech tree, Scorpius had his arm around Rose and she was huddled into his side.

"God, I've wanted this since Third year," Scorpius whispered, bending his head down to kiss her already thoroughly kissed cupid bow shaped lips.

"Really?" Rose asked, backing away from Scorpius kisses to look him in the eye.

"Well, yeah." He shifted uncomfortably, moving his gaze from hers.

"Why didn't you say anything?" She asked, totally bewildered.

Scorpius looked very uncomfortable, his jaw had tightened and so had the arm draped over her shoulders. Rose had the feeling that she had just stepped into a land mine field, and one wrong step would cause it to explode.

"Scorp?"

"Why didn't you?" he hit back, removing his arm.

"What are you talking about?" Rose asked, folding her arms in a defiant pose.

"You obviously like me, yeah? Otherwise you wouldn't have kissed me back."

…Damn him.

"I was with Adrian. It wouldn't have been fair on him."

"So you paraded him in front of me? Rose, what is wrong with you?" He asked, standing up and striding towards the castle just as a light drizzle started to fall.

Rose was left there looking absolutely confused and bewildered about what had just happened between them.

So much for making this work.

Damn it, Rosie! Scorpius thought, kicking at all the dead leaves in his way. Why did I do that?

Scorpius now felt like kicking himself as he replayed the conversation in his head. She had only asked a simple question and he blew up in her face, accusing her of using Adrian to make him jealous, which he knows she didn't do at all. God, he was being so stupid!

"Malfoy!" The name cut through him like a knife, she hadn't called him that since First year when he threw her into the lake. He turned and saw her red hair bouncing along behind her and she ran to him, the now fast falling rain making it difficult to see anything else. "What is your problem?" She screamed at him, coming up close and personal.

"You!" he replied with the same tone of venom. No, Rosie, it's not true, don't listen, don't do it!

"My, God! Do you know how pathetic you are right now?"

Yes, I'm totally aware, I'm a jerk, I wouldn't be surprised if you hate me…

"I'm pathetic? Hey, I didn't go out with some loser just too…"

He was cut off when Rose grabbed the front of his robes and pulled him into a ferocious kiss. The rain was pelting down on them and they were getting thoroughly soaked, but neither seemed to care. Scorpius wound one hand around her waist, pulling her to him while the other cradled the back of her head, feeling her red, rain soaked locks slipping through his fingers.

He lifted her up and linked his arms together behind her back, holding her securely to him as he walked towards the entrance of the castle. Once they reached the stone steps he let her slide down his body before he broke the kiss.

"Annoy me." He finished, bewildered, looking down on her.

She pulled away from him and started to walk away, wiping the sleeves of her robes on her face as she went.

"Wait, were are you going?" He asked after her, running to catch up with her. He grabbed her arm and whirled her around so that she faced him. "Not even a good night?"

"Do you wanna make this work?" She asked him.

"Of course I do, Rosie, I love you." It went silent, so silent that it would have unnerved the dead.

"No, you don't mean that." She was shaking her head slightly.

"Yes, I actually do." He responded, pulling her closer to him.

"Then you have to stop drawing up all these wrong conclusions, and please stop going of the rails. I wanna be with you, and I want to make this work, but dude, it's a two way street. You have to put the effort in to." She told him, pushing his platinum blonde hair out of his eyes.

"I will. I swear." He whispered, leaning his head down to meet hers.

"Cause next time you walk away, I might not come running for you." Before their lips met again.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing with my sister?!"

A/N: Right, its finished! God, it feels so weird to be done now…

Thanks for reading my story!
