Rose pulled her skirt up slowly unsure what had just happened. What could possibly have possessed her to sleep with Jason of all people? She winced when she felt a hand trailing up her back.
"That was excellent baby," the smug voice of Jason whispered into her ear, the boy standing very close behind Rose. The girl remained silent buttoning up her shirt with shaky fingers swallowing hard not allowing herself to look at the teenager behind her. The hand on her back moved down lower, causing the girl to pull away. She whirled on Jason glaring.
"That never happened! And you will not touch me or acknowledge me in any way ever again!" With that Rose stomped off leaving a smirking Jason behind her. He had to give Madison credit; her plans were sure excellent, well at least for him. He wondered if she had managed to deflower the Malfoy kid yet. He shrugged. He really didn't care either way. He left the tower whistling.
Rose was determined to spend the rest of the day in her room. She and Scorpius weren't in a relationship, but sleeping with Jason, gave her an awful sick feeling in the pit of her stomach especially when she thought of Scorpius.
She was lying in her bed head pounding, and tears prickling the corners of her eyes when Lily entered flouncing into the room giggling, "Hey Rosie Posie," the Gryffindor girl greeted her cousin with a big grin on her face. She stopped when she saw the miserable expression on the older girl's face and her own grin faded.
"What's wrong?"
And with that one simple question, Rose spilled everything to her younger cousin, who sat down and listened with a maturity beyond her years.
Upon finishing Lily heaved a sigh, "Well Rosie Posie, perhaps you should come clean to Scorpius and let things happen as they will."
Rose looked at the fifth year, "I probably should talk to Scorpius," she admitted. She fell silent then turned to Lily, "why did you come here in the first place?"
Lily giggled, "I managed to play match maker with your brother, in just one day," Lily then went into the story of Hugo and his new girlfriend, Jade (okay so she wasn't his girlfriend quite yet, but according to Lily it would only be a matter of time after their date at Hogsmede) and how she was the best match maker ever. Rose managed a smile at her brother's expense. She could just imagine his reaction to Lily's interference.
Eventually Lily left, and Rose fell into a restless slumber, not noticing when Madison made her way into the dorm room and stood over her bed staring down at the unconscious redhead.
Scorpius lay in his bed staring at the ceiling. He was actively trying to ignore the fact that Jason was laying in a bed nearby. His fists gripped the sheets as hot white jealousy flashed through his body at the memory of seeing him and Rose tangled up together just that morning. To make it worse Jason had walked around all day in a cheerful mood, shooting Scorpius triumphant looks which he had done his best to ignore. Scorpius turned over in bed trying to force his mind to go blank.
Albus Severus Potter was in his bed, curtains drawn around, attempting to have wonderful thoughts about Chloe who had just agreed to go out with him next Hogsmede weekend. He grinned as Chloe's image popped into his head. She really was rather pretty.
However, his cousin Rose sprang to mind effectively ruining his daydreams (Never mind that it was night). Al knew there was something up with Jason and Scorpius, the former having kept shooting triumphant looks at the latter. That coupled with the fact that Lily had informed Al, that Rose was holed up in her room upset about something (Lily refusing to tell Al exactly what, saying something about some girl code, whatever she meant by that) the 17 year old knew there was something going on. And Albus would bet money that Madison Park was behind it. He sighed, tomorrow he would start investigating. Not for nothing was he the son of Harry J. Potter and Ginny W. Potter and brother to James S. Potter and Lily L. Potter. Sticking their noses into places and solving problems (or causing them in James' case) was in their blood.
Scorpius rolled out of bed reluctantly, head pounding as he stumbled around looking for his school uniform. It was time to start what would undoubtedly be an awful week. Pulling on his uniform, Scorpius made his way down for breakfast wondering how he would face Rose having witnessed what he had. The teenaged boy found a spot at the Hufflepuff table and piled food on his plate. He then sat there staring at the food not moving until someone sat down next to him.
"So Malfoy what exactly is going on?" Malfoy turned to see Albus Potter looking at him with a very serious (and slightly scary) look on his face. Malfoy shook his head.
"Not here," he said glancing around the hall packed with people.
The two 17 year olds found themselves back in their dorm room missing their morning classes as Scorpius told Albus about his almost relationship with Rose and what he had witnessed the previous morning. Al was pacing the room mulling over what his classmate told him as Scorpius sat on his unmade bed watching him starting to feel slightly dizzy as his eyes tracked Potter's movements.
"The thing is, Rose, as much as I love her, is not the perfect little angel everyone makes her out to be. She, being young and stupid, dated Jason back in fourth year until he cheated on her. After that she had what she called flings, she would become involved with these guys who in any other universe, she probably would have been in relationships with. None of them ever lasted very long. She also, up until recently was involved in a friends with benefits relationship with Devon Lawler. She ended it because of you. She wants to be in a relationship with you," Al took a deep breath after he finished confessing his cousin's life to Scorpius who was sitting staring at the brunette with a look of shock.
"But then why-" Scorpius was cut off by his roommate, "why was she having sex with Jason? I don't know. That's the thing, she hates Jason. Plus like I said she really seems to want to be in a relationship with you for some reason," Al said eyeing Scorpius as if to say he had no idea why his cousin was interested in him in the first place. Scorpius felt a bit hurt by this. He had never done anything to hurt Potter or any of his relatives; in fact, he had kept mostly to himself for the past six almost seven years so he wouldn't risk offending anyone. It's hard to get angry at someone if he doesn't interact with you.
"I still can't help thinking that Madison is behind this somehow," Al mused not noticing Scorpius wince at the mention of Madison. The boy kept pacing as what he knew came together in his head to form a hypothesis. He whirled around facing Scorpius.
"Eureka!" he shouted startling the blond.
"Eureka?" Scorpius repeated in a questioning tone confused. Al waved his hand in the air.
"My choice of wording is not important. The thing is, I think I know how it went down," the dark haired boy said. Malfoy stared at Albus Severus Potter. How it went down? Eureka? Just what was Potter on?
Rose was sitting in an abandoned corner of the Hogwarts library. She couldn't face going to classes today and seeing Scorpius. She knew she had to talk with him about what had happened between her and Jason, but she just couldn't force herself to do it. She wasn't a Gryffindor; she wasn't brave like most of her family. Her hand clenched the corner of the table she was sitting at as nausea surged up and hit her in the stomach. She took several deep breaths, swallowing hard trying to keep what little food she had eaten down, ignoring the pain shooting through her right hand from where she was holding onto the table extremely hard.
"Well isn't this a pretty picture," the amused voice of Madison reached Rose's ears. Rose looked up at the other girl who smirked as she let her eyes run over the girl seeing the tear tracks down the redhead's cheeks as well as the rat's nest Weasley referred to as hair piled on top of her head. "I don't know why you're so upset, Jason isn't good at much, but he is good in bed," Madison sat down in the seat next to Rose's.
"How did you…" Rose whispered not finishing her sentence as the answer hit her, "YOU!" Rose hurled herself at the other girl who lazily waved her wand, forcing Rose onto the cold, hard ground. She stared up at Madison, "what did you do?" she asked panting hard.
Madison smirked again, "One: my homework and two: your boyfriend," she laughed cruelly as she sauntered away not giving Rose time to respond.
Rose stared after her still sitting on the floor, "Scorpius," she whispered. She stared at the floor before moving so that she was curled up into a ball on it. The teenager put her arms around her head blocking out the light and began sobbing.
Lily Potter finished adjusting her hair and makeup in the girls' bathroom before exiting. She made her way over to the Hufflepuff table where Jason was sitting with a couple of his friends stuffing his face with food. She made eye contact with Al who was sitting with Scorpius just up the bench before focusing her gaze on the boy who was unaware of her gaze.
"Hey Jason," Lily said sliding her body into the space next to him. Jason looked at the youngest Potter in surprise.
"Potter," he nodded his head at her before turning back to his friends. Lily frowned before resting her petite hand just above Jason's knee. He swung around and looked at her eyes wide. She smirked at him, running her eyes up and down his body.
"Are you… busy?" she asked softly, peering up under her eyelashes.
"Ummmm," Jason let his eyes flicker over to Al who was deep in conversation with Scorpius. He turned back to the 15 year old.
"Not at the moment. Did you want to go somewhere… more private?" he asked his voice deepening as he grinned at the young girl.
"Let's go," Lily whispered into his ear, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the Great Hall. Jason shot one last look over his shoulder. Al and Scorpius were still deep in conversation, unaware that Al's little sister was leaving the hall with Jason. He shot a grin at his friends before turning back around.
