AN: Sorry, I know it's been ages, like years but I've been super busy and I got out of the habit of writing. But I think I'm in the habit again so we'll see. I hope you like it :) Remember this is sort of a drabble fic just relationships, fun stuff nothing too heavy.
Previously: Rose and Scorpius have gotten together, and most of her family knows and is okay with it. They recently had a steamy make out session in the library.
That scene in the library had been too much. Rose was shocked at herself. She had been dating Scorpius for less than a week and she was sure that her hormones would probably have gotten her into a compromising situation if someone hadn't been coming. Not that she wasn't willing to do other things. She just needed to make it clear to Scorpius that she wasn't ready for anything like that yet. Rose jerked out of her thoughts as her book was snapped shut in front of her.
"Why are you blushing?" Klara stood in front of her, hands on hips, and eyebrows raised, "I haven't seen you blush like that since 5th year when Brad kissed you in front of the whole school."
Rose felt her blush deepen as that memory was added to the memory in the library. "It's nothing Klara," Rose said, looking pointedly at her cousins, who were all listening anxiously to the conversation. "Look I've got to go for my patrol, but you can come with me if you really want?"
Klara jumped at the opportunity, especially considering her and Rose had hardly talked in the past week, and there was so much to tell.
By the time they were out of the dormitory, Klara was nearly jumping from excitement, she knew Rose well enough to see that there was something that needed to be discussed. After a few moments, Rose told her about the library, and what might have happened. The awkward pause that followed made Rose feel uncomfortable. She looked at Klara anxiously; I mean sex was a big deal, especially for the first time. This was important.
"Rose, I know you're probably going crazy with sexual frustration and all, but promise me you'll wait a few months. I know you're 17 and all, but it's Malfoy. And I know he likes you, but still, you can't be too safe. So yeah, tell him that you want to wait, and if he really likes you then he'll wait. Besides, I don't think he wants to push you. Never mind the sex for now though, I'm more interested in the library!? I never would have imagined that you, good girl Rose, would be the type to snog in the back of the library, especially when it's full of people."
Rose sighed; it wasn't like she had planned on having sex soon, but she was glad to have Klara's opinion. No, it was the second art she was shocked about. She hadn't known everyone thought she was a good girl. I mean, she did well in school, and she studied hard, but that didn't make her a goody two shoes, did it?
Come to think of it, Brad had called her a suck up, and even told her she was a bit to uptight and prudish. Maybe not in those words exactly, but something to that effect.
Rose couldn't believe it. Did everyone really think she was a goody-two-shoes. Well, she would have to prove them wrong. Not that that meant she would start having sex and getting wasted, just maybe she should relax a bit more.
"Anyway, Rose….Rose? Earth to Rose?" Klara was poking her shoulder repetitively, "I need to ask you something?"
"Oh, right , yeah of course, Klara, what's up?"
"Well, I was wondering, see me and A-"
"Well hello there my dear flower, ready for patrol duty?" Scorpius swept Rose up in a hug before Klara could finish, and Rose found her feet dangling in the air. She squealed slightly before demanding to be putdown.
"Scorpius, I was in the middle of talking to Klara give me a second then you can get your hello." Rose smiled as she spoke, but really, she had hardly spoken to Klara in weeks.
"Oh, trouble in paradise already?" Klara gave Scorpius a sympathetic smile before turning back to Rose just in time to be interrupted.
"So, what did you want to ask me about this A thin-"
"I'll talk to you about it later Rose, this isn't the time." Klara looked pointedly at Scorpius before continuing, "Anyway, there's a party in the old charms classroom on the 5th floor tonight, I'll see you there." Before Rose had a chance to respond, Klara pulled her into a hug and then walked away.
"So, Rose, should we start the patrol or do I get a hug?"
"Sorry, Score, I know that was harsh, I just haven't really talked to Klara all week." She pulled him into a hug when she finished talking, wrapping her arms around his neck so that he could lift her up ever so slightly again. He put her down and she went on her tiptoes in an attempt to get a kiss, but Scorpius stopped her.
"We're in the middle of the hallway, you don't really want anyone to walk past and think we're slacking on duties do you? I mean you have a reputation right?"
Rose stood unmoving for several moments; he'd just called her a goody goody. No, she wasn't a goody goody, surely. I mean maybe a bit, but she didn't want to be. She liked having fun; she just wished people saw that more.
"Just give me a kiss, honestly I'm not too bothered about my 'goodie-two-shoes' reputation." And she went up on tiptoes again, pulling his head down to hers and feeling his smile against her lips as she kissed him fiercely.
"Now come on, the halls aren't going to patrol themselves."
The halls were mostly deserted, with the only exceptions being an abandoned classroom and a broom cupboard, both of which were occupied by couples that seemed to be intent on snogging the living daylights out of each other. Seriously, there were too many sexually frustrated teenagers in this school.
"Seriously though, you would think these couples would find somewhere better to go, I mean an empty classroom, don't they know that these halls are always patrolled?" Rose couldn't help but laugh as Scorpius spoke. On more than one occasion she had found him in an empty classroom, some girl sucking on his lips.
He caught her look out of the corner of his eye, "Oh you can't judge Miss Weasley, I'm sure you and Brad got yourself a classroom sometimes."
"We did not! He always complained about that actually, said I was too prudish and too much of a goody goody or something of that sort." Rose felt herself blush as she spoke, Scorpius didn't need to know all of that, especially that she was considered prudish.
"Wait, but, you dated him all of 5th and 6th years, how did you not do that? Or anything like that for that matter? You didn't do much with him did you?"
"Score, come on, don't ask please? I'm embarrassed enough as it is, I mean even my family thought I had sex with him…"
"But you didn't?"
"No, I didn't. I didn't trust him not to run bragging to his mates about it, or to dump me straight after. We hardly did more than make out." Rose couldn't look at him, she knew he wouldn't judge her, but still it was embarrassing.
"I'm sorry Rose," he took her hand quietly, "I shouldn't have asked."
She turned to look at him, feeling even more comfortable now that he had adopted this kind tone, "Really, don't worry about it Score. Just don't hold it against me. I do trust you, so much more than I trusted him, which makes no sense but anyway. And I would, well about sex…" she trailed off, getting nervous again.
"Don't worry about it Rose, you know I wouldn't pressure you into anything."
"Thanks. I already feel ready, which I know is crazy, so I just want to wait a while to be sure. I'll let you know though."
"Okay, Rose, but believe me, for now I'm just happy to be holding your hand and walking down the hall with you."
"Well me too, although now that we're done our patrols, I think I want to try something new, you know just so you know I'm not the same as I was with Brad." With a small smile she grabbed his hand and pulled him into an empty classroom, walking backwards until her legs hit a desk and she was able to slide onto it.
That done she pulled Scorpius towards her, wrapped her arms around his neck and began kissing him. Not the goody two shoes he might have expected.
AN: Hey, so once again soooooo sorry for the long wait!But here it is, it might leave you wondering, and originally I intended to have a bunch of other stuff in it, but that will go in the next chapters. Coming soon I promise! :)
Please review if you don't hate me for taking so long, or even if you do, just let me know what you think? It encourages me to write faster :) And more.. :)
