Two weeks later and Rose was very happy with where her life was. She had just finished Quidditch tryouts and was extremely happy with where her team's talent stood. She had continued dating CJ and although Scorpius could usually been found lurking within the vicinity; he had stayed out of her way. Her grades stood head and shoulders above everyone else's, making her the clear valedictorian. She was currently getting ready for a Hufflepuff party, something she normally wouldn't attend but CJ had begged her to go. She slipped into a pair of low black wedges that made her legs look endless and went to wait for CJ in the Gryffindor common room.
"Where are you going like that, Rose?" remarked Albus, disentangling himself from his flavor of the week.
"CJ is taking me to that Hufflepuff party, why? Is this too much? I never go to these things. Oh Merlin he's going to think I'm trying too hard." Rose rambled.
"No, no. You look fine just a little more...flashy than usual." Rose let out a sigh of relief. Then there was a knock on the common room entrance and Rose turned to leave. "Hey Rose, you make him mind his manners, ok?"
Rose nodded, "Thanks Albie." she gave her cousin a quick peck on the cheek and left the tower.
Scorpius was sitting in a chair watching the door intently and ignoring all the floozies shoving their goods in his face. He saw Rose enter with Maclaggen and made sure he kept an eye on her from his seat. Scorpius was still trying to stay clean and sober and was avoiding parties where the booze was flowing and drugs abundant but he still didn't trust Maclaggen and felt it was his duty to protect Rose.
An hour had passed and Scorpius saw CJ whisper in Rose's ear and leave the common room. Scorpius cast a quick disillusionment charm and followed CJ up to his common room. He rooted around in his nightstand drawer before taking a yellow pill out of a packet, pocketing it, and turning to leave.
Scorpius was furious. He knew exactly what that pill was, and what it did to girls. How dare he even consider doing that to Rose! Scorpius bolted back to the common room. He knew what Maclaggen was going to do and was quickly formulating a plan to protect Rose. He said a quick finite incantateum and pushed his way over to Rose.
"Well lookie here! Little Miss Rose Weasley all dressed up at a party with alcohol!"
"Malfoy." she spat. "Here I thought my prayers had been answered and you were finally going to leave me alone."
"I was a bit wrapped up in studying but I will always make time for my Rosie."
"Is he bothering you Rose?" Maclaggen said with a drink in each hand. Scorpius pointed his wand at each drink and whispered a quick spell his father had taught him to dissipate any poisons in a drink while Rose responded.
"I was just saying hello but I can tell I'm not wanted so I'll move along. Ta-ta Rosie." ideally Scorpius wouldn't want to leave Rose's side the rest of the night but that wouldn't go over well, so he settled from watching the couples every move at a relatively close distance. He was prepared for anything and knew what to keep his eye on. About a half an hour later he saw Maclaggen leading Rose towards the door, Scorpius pushed his way through the throng of students and followed the couple into the hallway. He kept his distance but followed the couple through the corridors until a hand grabbed him into a closet. Scorpius tried to pry out of his captors arms until he heard a very familiar whiny voice,"Scorpy why are you fighting me?" whined Roxie.
"DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT MACLAGGEN DID TO YOU ROXIE?" Roxie gasped at the horrific memory, she had tried to push it to the back of her head. "HE IS TRYING TO DO IT TO ANOTHER GIRL RIGHT NOW. SO OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW OR I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS." Roxie tearfully opened the door handle and Scorpius bolted out. He ran towards where he believed the couple was and tried every door in the hallway until he heard a shrill scream.
Rose couldn't believe what was happening. She was cowering in a corner of an abandoned classroom and CJ had just punched her. He was mumbling "Of course it wouldn't work on her, damn golden trio blood." Rose was whimpering blood trickling down her chin as CJ approached her again. He crouched down to her level and grabbed her face in his hand and spat, "Now listen hear you filthy blood traitor spawn. You are going to be very quiet and do as I say or you will never see the light of day again." Just then they heard someone shout "ROSE" from the hallway. "Not a word." reiterated Maclaggen jabbing his wand into her neck. "Now how about you spread these pretty little legs?" rose shook her head frantically. "No matter," Maclaggen said with a smirk and using strips he had ripped off the bottom of her dress tied her ankles to the legs. Rose had just started to weep when the door burst open.
Scorpius tried a variety of hexes to unlock the door, but Maclaggen had warded it well. Scorpius grew frustrated very quickly and decided to just blast the door open. After the splinters and dust had cleared away he saw Rose tied in the corner, mascara down her face, and Maclaggen standing over her.
"Get lost Malfoy," Maclaggen spit out.
Scorpius raised his wand, "Only if Rose leaves with me."
"Why do you care about a filthy blood traitor like her? Life would be so much better without this filth clogging up our world."
"Maclaggen, that's a bunch of horse shit and we both know it. So just lower your wand and let Rose go."
"Oh, she's not going anywhere." And Maclaggen began to turn towards Rose, his wand still raised. Scorpius took advantage of Maclaggen turning away and shouted "STUPEFY," and watched the red beam of light shoot out of his wand and hit the Hufflepuff square in the chest. Maclaggen crumpled to the floor and Scorpius did a quick incarcerous to make sure that even when he did wake up, he would be unable to move. Scorpius rushed over to the corner where Rose lay whimpering, he untied her and held her close to his chest as sobs wracked through her body. Scorpius just sat there until her tears turned into deep breaths, after checking to make sure she was asleep, Scorpius picked her up bridal style, and levitating Maclaggen's still unconscious form behind them, went to the Gryffindor common rooms.
