Scorpius wasn't sure what had just happened, or why it bothered him so much. Was it the fact that he didn't kiss her that bothered him? Isn't that what he wanted to do, was to win her in some way? And he had won, she was going to give into him, he knew that much. But then why did he feel unsatisfied?
He shook his head as he headed back to the Slytherin common room, hands tucked into his pockets.
He was so close. He could still smell her on his clothes, from where their bodies had rubbed together. A faint smile spread across his lips as he thought of it.
It was the chase, he tried to convince himself. That's what kept bringing him around her, trying to see how far he can push until she would break. The chase, that's all. Nothing more, nothing less.
And what would happen when he got what he wanted? Like he almost did tonight? Would he move onto the next challenge? Probably. Maybe not.
He really didn't know, and he really didn't like knowing.
Sodding hell. Now would be a good time to call on Anna, to relieve that stress and sexual frustration that he was feeling. But for some reason, he just wasn't feeling like it.
Sodding hell again. That Weasley girl really had him screwed up. He made a mental note to stay away from her for a few days. Maybe more. He just wouldn't talk to her during class - he'd sit there and mind his own business for once.
Yes. That's what he would do. Ignore the Weasley girl until he could figure out what the hell he really wanted from her, if anything.
Rose was fuming. How could she let Scorpius get that close to her? And how the crikey hell could she lose control like she did? Rose did not lose control, especially to Scorpius, of all people.
He was the absolute last person she ever wanted to lose control with. Ever.
She straightened her clothes and took a few much needed deep breaths before she left the Astronomy Tower, where all the events had just unfolded. Her mind kept trying to press rewind and play the horrid movie again. And she desperately did not want to relive that moment.
But the way Scorpius had made her feel. Merlins balls, that was crazy. And so real.
She vowed to never let him have that sort of control over her again - not unless it was on her terms. She absolutely could not give him the control.
She vowed to herself that she would stay away from Scorpius for the next few days, at least. That should do the trick until she figured out a way to gain control of the seemingly hopeless situation.
"Do you think I'm pretty, Albus?" Anna's voice snatched Albus from a daydream as they sat in Potions. Albus didn't realize it, but he was watching Veronica and he had a slight bit of drool pooling from the corner of his mouth.
"I - erm - what?" He wiped his face with the back of his hand and tried to pull himself back to reality. Did Veronica know he was staring? Sodding hell.
"I said, do you think I'm pretty?" Anna repeated again, sounding slightly frustrated.
"Well, yeah, I guess so. Why?" Albus replied as he pressed his eyebrows together. Girls are so strange, he thought to himself.
"I'm just wondering why you're wasting your time on Veronica Lacombe. You're way out of her league, you know." Anna waved her hand nonchalantly as she spoke.
"Yeah, I know she is - " Albus paused, thinking about what Anna just said, "Wait, you think I'm out of her league?"
"That's what I said, Albus." Anna reminded him playfully, "So if you think I'm pretty, then why don't you stare at me and drool like you do her?"
"Erm." Albus was turning an embarassing shade of red. Anna was pretty, sure, but she was no Veronica Lacombe. And she wasn't the one chosen for the dare between him and Rose. "I-I don't know, Anna, I really don't."
"I'm just playing around with you, love. No need to get all flushed and everything." Anna reached out and ran her thumb across the top of his hand reassuringly. "But really, you could have so many other girls in the school that would be perfect for you, and yet you choose Veronica. I just don't see why."
"There's nothing wrong with her. She's nice, and smart, and pretty, and..."
"And totally fake." Anna rolled her eyes. "You could be with me, you know."
"Didn't you date my brother last year?" Albus responded quickly, hoping to get himself away from this conversation.
"Hmm. Yes and no. Not really. But kind of." Anna wasn't sure how to describe her 'relationship' with James Potter the previous year. Complicated, to say the least.
"Right. Well, it's a brothers unspoken rule - you don't date past flames." Albus fidgeted in his seat and cut his eyes once again at Veronica, hoping she wasn't watching. But of course, she was. He knew that nobody could hear the conversation between he and Anna since they were whispering to each other. And everyone else was busy doing book work anyway; like he was supposed to be doing.
"We weren't exactly 'flames', Albus. I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Anna countered easily, backing Albus into a corner yet again.
"Erm. Right. I'll - I'll think about it I guess." Albus tried to go back to writing notes but Anna seemed to have other things in mind. She crossed her legs and rubbed her bare calf against his.
"You shouldn't have to think about it." Anna rested her chin in her hand as she gazed at the handsome boy. Albus looked like he was going to fall out of the chair and pass out. Her skin against his was making him have goosebumps and dirty thoughts, only one of which would have an effect on another part of his anatomy that he didn't want to be affected.
"I - erm, we're in class. I -" Albus gulped.
"Oh, relax." Anna pushed herself back to her seat with a wide grin and started to take notes. She had flustered him and she found that amusing. His cheeks were cherry red and his eyes were enlarged and darkened - both a sign that Anna knew too well.
Albus took one last peek at Veronica. She didn't look pleased as she glanced away quickly, allowing her hair to fall over her face so he could no longer see her profile. He turned back to his book quickly and tried to pretend that none of that happened.
Why were girls so bloody confusing?
Rose could cut the tension between her and Scorpius with a dull knife. They both sat at the desk, legs tucked away from each other, and faces staring only at their books. She wondered how he would react after last night, and she wasn't surprised that he chose to act the same exact way that she did.
Funny.
Rose heard someone clear their throat next to her, and she looked over to see Tyler squatting by the table at her side. She looked around for half a second before putting her quill down and turning to him.
"I was wondering if you'd like to meet up again tonight? I mean...if it's too soon..." Tyler whispered as he looked up at her with wide eyes. Rose thought he looked particularly innocent just then.
A soft hiss from Scorpius drew her attention away from Tyler, she looked over at Scorpius for a brief moment - long enough to see the clear distaste painted on his features. Though he tried to pretend like he wasn't paying attention to her. Rose knew otherwise.
"Um. Tyler, I don't know. We're supposed to be working right now..." Rose replied as she chewed her bottom lip.
"Just say 'yes', that's all." He tried to convince her. Rose wasn't sure if she wanted to lead the poor guy on - and besides, she needed the time to get her own thoughts straight.
"I don't think tonight is a good night. I have a lot of homework to do." She trailed off with an apologetic look in her eyes.
"It doesn't have to be for long - a few minutes is all I ask." Tyler pleaded. Rose remembered why she broke up with the guy - he was too smothering.
"Tyler..."
"She said sod off, alright?" Scorpius had leaned back and interrupted the conversation with a stern voice. Tyler looked past Rose and furrowed his brow at the blonde headed Malfoy.
"I don't remember asking you..." Tyler replied angrily and Rose held both of her hands up to motion for them both to shut up.
"Tyler - not tonight, maybe sometime this weeked, when I don't have so much work. Alright?" She ignored Scorpius still, though he was clearly watching them now. Tyler looked a little upset but he managed a smile nonetheless.
"Alright. Sounds good. See ya, then." Tyler stood and walked away, but not before sending Malfoy an eat-shit-and-die look. Rose too spun and gave Scorpius that same look.
"Stay out of my business, Malfoy." Rose said angrily before she returned to her notes. Malfoy was seething and he wasn't sure why.
"Don't think I did that for you, Weasley." Scorpius nearly spat, "I was tired of hearing your voice."
"Then stop talking to me." She finally looked up at the boy and met his eyes.
"Stop responding." He challenged as he set his steely eyes on hers. Both of them locked gazes for too long. Finally Rose looked away and shook her head.
"You're impossible."
"I'm a Malfoy."
"That doesn't mean you have to be a git." She responded, still looking away from him. He too was looking at his parchment pretending to write.
"Would you like me any other way?"
"I don't like you at all." She shrugged slightly.
"That's not the impression I got from you last night..." Scorpius looked smug.
"I was still thinking about Tyler."
"Like he could make you feel that way." Scorpius hissed, "It was me and you know it."
"Then what's your excuse? You were lusting after me quite a bit yourself, last night." Rose quipped causing Scorpius to pause.
"I wasn't thinking about you either, so don't fool yourself, Weasley." He spat, "You could never do it for me."
"Like I'd ever want to, Malfoy."
"Keep telling yourself that." Scorpius leaned back in his seat and let his blonde hair fall over his eyes. Rose glanced at him from the corner of her eye and immediately thought he was quite handsome. A deep scowl crossed her face at this thought.
"Let's just stay clear of each other from now on. Deal?" Rose forced her eyes to return to her parchment. Scorpius cut a sideways glance at the girl.
"Like you can stay away from me." Scorpius countered, sounding like he just challenged her. Rose shook her head.
"Don't fool yourself, Malfoy." She mocked, "You'll never do it for me, so I don't think it'll be a problem to stay away from you."
"Fine."
"Fine."
Silence. Rose was even more pissed off and Scorpius was seething, making the tension between them grow ever thicker. Scorpius cut one last glance at the girl and wondered if they could really avoid each other forever.
Probably not, he thought to himself.
And then he smiled.
"Albus!" A voice called down the hallway, causing Albus to spin around quickly. Veronica was dodging students as she hurried towards him. His heart fell into his feet and his cheeks immediately flushed. She stood before him with a wide smile. "I wanted to ask you something."
"Okay." Albus smiled sheepishly, suddenly caught up in her beauty. It must be the whole Veela thing, Albus forced himself to come back down to earth.
"Um. Are you and Anna...a couple?" Veronica nibbled her bottom lip adorably and once again, Albus got caught up. He was pretty sure he was drooling again, since Veronica was looking at him funny.
"I - what?" Albus shook his head, suddenly realizing what Veronica had asked, "Me and Anna?" He laughed, "No, never. Never, no."
"Oh. Well okay. That's good then." Veronica smiled wide and blushed lightly herself. Albus didn't fail to catch the blush on her cheeks, which only caused him to blush even more.
"Oh? How...how is that good, then?" Albus was hoping his charm would come back to him - he really wasn't this quiet when it came to girls. But Veronica...
He almost drooled again.
"I - um - Well I guess that means you're still single." She paused, digging her toe into the ground nervously, "You are single, right?"
"Yes!" Albus almost screamed at the poor girl. She blinked quickly, and Albus was pretty sure he spit on her again. Somehow. "I mean, yeah, I'm not seeing anyone. At the moment."
"Okay." Veronica giggled, "Good. My friend will be happy to hear that." Veronica turned to walk away.
"Wait, what?" Albus furrowed his brow together slightly. Did he just hear her right? Couldn't have.
"Oh, my friend thinks you're adorable." Veronica giggled again, "She wanted me to ask you about Anna. And see if you were single."
"Erm..." Albus' heart was definitely on the ground somewhere, probably scattering down the hall like a puppy with its' tail between its' legs.
"But don't worry, Albus." Veronica noticed his uneasiness, "I think you're adorable too." And with that, she flashed him a flirty glance before she turned and walked away, making sure to wiggle her hips more than usual. And once again, Albus was smiling.
And drooling.
