Two notes:
twilightlover212: Scorpius and Avery didn't break up. She was threatening to break up with him because he was ignoring her and he was just annoyed with her in general but all in all just a 'lover's' spat and they are still together...for now :)
Also, I saw Maroon 5 on Monday, and while driving to see them, I was listening to their CD Hands All Over (hence the title...) and I realized that the songs on that album pertain to this story...a lot. So aside from it being a good CD, you should listen to it for the story :) I'll make the title of the chapter the same as the song that I think goes along with the chapter. Yeppppp.
All right, now read on!
Rose was shaken from a peaceful dream. She heard her name being called through the fog of her mind and reluctantly opened her eyes to slits. She saw a pair of grey eyes staring back at her and then realized it was still pitch black out and rolled away from Scorpius. It was the first time she was allowing him to hang out with her since Sunday, and she had to admit, seeing him again made her heart thump wildly.
"No, Rose, get up." Scorpius whispered, trying not to wake anyone up, especially Avery.
"How'd you even get up here Scorp? Boys can't get in." Rose muttered into her pillow.
"Hello, Head Boy, can basically do whatever the fuck I want. Now get up Rose!"
"It's my birthday." She stated, pulling the covers up closer around her, willing him to go away.
"Yes I know that Rose. Now get up or you will force me to wake you up."
"Oh I'm so afraid." She yawned, glancing at the clock next to her bed. It was 4:45 AM. The exact time of her birth. She was going to kill that boy.
"You leave me no choice Rose." He sighed, ripping the covers away from her and climbing into her bed. Rose felt his arms wrap around her waist and she tried to ignore him. When his hands started kneading into her ribs making her laugh hysterically. That was her weak spot. She fell out of her bed, landing with a deafening sound. Avery began to stir next to her.
"Rose…" She murmured.
"It's alright Ave, go back to sleep, just fell out of my bed." She watched Avery nod and roll away from her. Rose jumped up and smacked Scorpius who was laughing to himself.
"I hate you sometimes." Rose glared at him and he rolled his eyes approaching to door.
"Now get dressed, birthday surprise, let's go." He shouted whispered as he left the room. "If you aren't down in ten minutes, I'll be back up with something worse than my hand." He warned, leaving the room. Rose glared at the spot where he had last been and grumbled to herself as she pulled a pair of jeans, a black tee, a blue hoodie and a pair of flats on to her weary body, muscles still tight from the Quidditch practice the day before. She clunked down the stairs to where Scorpius was waiting, in an outfit almost mirroring her, but in different colors. How did he look so damn good this early in the morning? "Change your shoes Rose, you'll get blisters with those."
"No." She replied stubbornly and he shrugged, his eyes saying "suit yourself" as he turned around, beckoning her to come with him. She followed, grumbling to herself once again. It was her birthday, she should be allowed to sleep until when she wanted and wear what she wanted. However, she was excited for her surprise. Scorpius led her out onto the grounds and she began to search the skies. He chuckled next to her.
"No Rose, I don't do repeats. Come on, we're leaving the grounds for the day. Don't worry, McGonagall approved." He stated as Rose gave him a questioning look. Saturday's were usually the day that the Heads and Prefects had to patrol the grounds the most. However, apparently everyone knew it was Rose's birthday and wanted to give her a break.
"So where are we going?" Rose asked, finally registering the backpack on Scorpius's back. It was huge.
"Don't worry about it." He smirked. They reached Hogsmeade and Scorpius held out his arm to Rose. She grabbed it and felt the familiar sensation of her navel being pulled in front of her as she stumbled out of the Apparition in the middle of a woody area.
"You know…I am seventeen! I can Apparate all on my own now! Well after I pass my test but still!" She shouted angrily at Scorpius. "You could have at least warned me. I thought you just wanted to hold my hand!" She muttered the last part and began to look around her. "Where are we Scorp?" She asked, trying to look around. The stars were still shining in the sky even though it was 5:15 AM. Rose felt a hand close around hers and saw Scorpius standing on her left, his hair almost illuminating the darkness. She watched as his almost opalescent eyes looked at her.
"Lumos. Come on Rose, you can use magic now." He stated, dragging her along. She cast Lumos as well and followed him.
"Are we going to be walking for long?" She asked, now wishing she had worn tennies.
"I told you to choose a better choice of footwear." Scorpius smirked as the ground slowly began to incline. She scoffed at him and pointed at her shoes, transfiguring them into a more comfortable pair. She would just have to remember to change them back later. As the sun rose, it brought the heat of the day. Luckily they were shaded by trees almost the entire way. Rose wasn't one for long, extensive journeys of which she had no clue where she was headed. She began to grow irritated as she still grasped Scorpius's hand.
"Where are we going Scorp?"
"What part of surprise don't you understand?"
"Why didn't we just Apparate all the way there?"
"What's the fun in that?"
"Scorpius, I'm tired."
"Sucks to be you."
"How much longer?"
"Very much so."
"I hate you so much sometimes do you know that?"
"The feeling is mutual."
"Can I at least have some water?"
"No."
"It's my birthday!"
"Double no." Rose let go of his hand and stopped at this point, glaring at him. She felt like a child, not like a girl who had just come of age, but she didn't care. Scorpius turned around with a sigh. "You do realize that if you stop, we will never get there. Come on Rose." She didn't move and he shook his head, turning around. A minute later, he was knocked to the ground. Rose had leaped onto his back, pulling out the bottle of water she had wanted. She sat on his flailing body as she drank it, hopping up when she was done. He was glaring at her angrily as he got up, covered in dirt and leaves. There was a branch stuck in his hair and dirt smeared across his nose. He began to brush himself off, before snatching the bottle back from her. He seemed to be turning to start walking again, which relaxed Rose, but she was soon lifted from her feet, hanging upside down off of Scorpius's shoulder. She began to squirm, but he just smacked her in the ass. She pulled a bag of almonds she saw peeking out of the backpack out and began munching on them.
"Do you ever stop eating Rose?"
"Have you ever noticed my last name?"
"Fair enough." She stuffed a few more in her mouth and waved the bag in front of Scorpius's face.
"No thanks."
"You haven't eaten yet…"
"Not that you know of." He responded and continued to walk with Rose over his shoulder. The blood soon began to rush to her head and when Scorpius set her down, she became lightheaded, almost falling over but Scorpius was there to catch her. She looked up into his eyes and smiled, grabbing his hand and began to walk more. The sun was streaming through the trees, making strange patterns on the floor of the forest. Rose looked at her watch. It was 10:30, they had been on the move for about five hours. She had to wonder where they were going that took such a long time to reach and why Scorpius had made her walk for this long. She had begun to make a bouquet of flowers as they were walking along, her free hand was almost full now.
"Are we almost-"
"We're here." Scorpius smiled, pushing aside a clump of leaves to reveal a beautiful hill top meadow. A giant tree was rustling in the wind and there were flowers everywhere. Rose walked out and took her hoodie off, letting the sun bake into her skin. She laughed and began to twirl and then promptly fell to the ground. She felt more in tuned with her child self at the age of seventeen than ever before in her life. Scorpius was pulling things out of the backpack, things fit to make a picnic. As soon as the blanket hit the ground, Rose sat on it, facing the outlook of the hill.
"Scorpius, it's beautiful up here."
"I know, Happy Birthday Rose." He smiled, kissing her on the cheek. Heat rose to her face immediately as she looked out at what else he had pulled out of the backpack. They were all of her favorite foods. Strawberries, ham sandwiches, treacle tart, cheese and blackberries. And champagne. She looked up at Scorpius and smiled.
"Scorp, it's all beautiful and wonderful."
"Well eat, I didn't sneak down to the kitchens and go through all of this hard labor to get this food, had to fight a couple of house elves didn't I?" Rose rolled her eyes.
"Oh please, fighting house elves?" She laughed and grabbed a strawberry and bit into it. They ate everything in silence, not needing words, just enjoying the fact that the other one was there. Scorpius poured her a glass of champagne and held it up in a toast.
"To another great year at Hogwarts and another year of friendship." He stated, Rose hearing some hint of sadness in his voice. She sipped it, feeling the bubbles tickle her throat and then realized a black box was in front of her eyes.
"Scorpius, this is enough." She muttered, not grabbing the box and not looking in his eyes which she could feel staring into her.
"Rose please, without you, I honestly don't think I'd be who I am today. I'd probably be a giant prick or something." He smirked at her as she rolled her eyes and opened the box to find a silver necklace, with a rose at the end made of pink diamonds and sterling silver. A silver S accompanied it. It was absolutely beautiful. She pulled it out and handed it over to Scorpius who put it around her neck. She could feel his fingers fumbling against the back of her neck. She kissed him on the cheek and stood up, staring at him for a moment, and then ran towards the tree laughing.
Rose began to climb up into the depths of the tree, letting them shade her face from the now blazing sun. She reached up and found a shiny red apple and bit into it, letting the juices run down her face. Scorpius could only spot her purple shoe hanging out from a branch and he laughed before pulling out his book and began reading again. Rose looked down at him, watched him read as she finished the apple.
He was doing that more often, reading. It wasn't that he wasn't studious, no, that part had just seemed to die in him whenever he became older, more attractive and popular. Rose finished the apple, throwing its core to the ground and pulled the now wilting flowers out of her pocket. She began to tie them together, creating a crown, and placed it on her head. After a while, Rose clambered back out of the tree and took the crown off of her head, placing it on Scorpius's blond hair as she sat next to him. He placed the book down and looked over at her.
She was radiant in the sun, her auburn hair glistening, making it look like it was a fire burning in the wind. Her hazel eyes looked more green today and her lips a soft pink. Scorpius had to will himself to not do anything stupid, anything to mess up their friendship…again. He ran a hand through his hair, knocking the crown off.
"Oh, uh, sorry Rose." He muttered picking the flowers back up. She shrugged and then the ground began to shake. Rose's eyes widened in fear as she moved closer to him. Scorpius smiled, for he knew what was happening. A small pond appeared in the ground a few feet away from them. It sparkled in the sun as the tremors dissipated.
"What is that…" Rose asked, pointing over at the spring.
"A magical pond quite obviously Rose. Don't you use your eyes?" Rose chucked Scorpius in the shoulder and got up to get a closer look. "Why don't you get in Rose?" He asked, leaning back on his hands.
"It is the middle of November. November 12th to be exact. It will be freezing." She stated, looking at Scorpius incredulously.
"I think you should get in." He stated, waving her on. She looked back at him, glaring. It had to be a trick. She pulled her shirt up and hesitated when she was Scorpius blatantly staring at her like she was a stripper.
"Turn around Scorpius." She said, holding onto the edge of her shirt.
"It's nothing I haven't seen before Rose." He stated, not moving. She became flustered and he smiled.
"I was marred by sheets and it was dark, ergo, you have not seen it before, turn around. Also, if I die of hypothermia, it is all your fault and I will haunt you forever." She threatened as Scorpius reluctantly turned to face a different direction. Rose pulled her clothes off and quickly dove into the water before Scorpius could turn back around. She was pleasantly surprised as she hit the water. It was extremely warm, engulfing her entire body. When she resurfaced, she let out a sigh of happiness, only to find Scorpius undressing in front of her, sending her deftly back under the water. It was dark in the water, even with the sun shining above her. It was as if the water knew what kind of atmosphere she wanted to be in. She resurfaced only when she felt a disturbance in the water. When she came back up, arms were wrapped around her waist and a head was in the crook of her neck. Rose began to flail around and pushed away from Scorpius who was laughing.
"We used to do this all of the time Rose. What are you so paranoid about?" He laughed, watching her intently.
"We were younger Scorpius and we weren't naked! And now this and that and ugh!" She flew her hands up, only to cover her chest up again.
"And here I thought you were eloquent with your words Rose. Relax, it's your birthday after all. Anyway, we are just friends right?" He asked, circling her.
"Right, alright, you are right. Just…don't touch me." She muttered. She knew the minute he touched her, she would fall under his spell and wouldn't be able to stop him and every thing would lose control. Scorpius shrugged, still swimming laps around her. "Would you stop circling me!" She shouted as he laughed even more. Rose went under the water and swam straight to his feet, pulling him under with her. She resurfaced after he began to squirm only to find him coughing up water.
"Oh, so you can touch me and take me under, but I can't touch you? We'll see about that." The rest of their time in the water was spent with Scorpius chasing Rose around and around until he clambered out of the water as the sun began to fall slowly from the sky. Rose turned around and he laughed. "I don't care if you see me without clothes on Rose." She peeked back around and watched as he threw his clothing back on, admiring how the setting sun bounced off of his back.
"Well, I do care. Please turn around." She muttered as she swam to the edge of the lake. He obliged and she jumped out, casting a spell to dry herself off and then putting her clothes on. She joined Scorpius back on the blanket and he wrapped his jacket around her; she hadn't even noticed that she was shivering. His hand wrapped around hers and he looked over at her. Now is as good a time as any Scorp...
"Rose, I meant what I said on Sunday…" He started.
"What do you mean?" She asked, not meeting his gaze. Of course she knew what he meant.
"You bloody well know what I mean Rose." He cupped her head, forcing her to look at him. "I'm in love with you Rose. I should have told you sooner but I'm going to right this. I'm going to drop Avery. You know this, this is meant to happen." It wasn't the speech he had planned, this seemed too crude, but he got his point across. Without bothering to hear what she was about to say, his lips crashed on hers, kissing her ferociously. He could feel her resistance and pulled away to find tears streaming down her face.
"You aren't drunk." She muttered, wiping her tears away.
"No, last time I checked I wasn't." He murmured in her ear.
"So you mean it. You love me." She gulped. This would change everything.
"Of course I do. I've meant it every time. You know, they say when you are drunk, you are more truthful because you can't keep anything in."
"Oh shut up." Rose muttered pulling his lips back to hers. He loved her! There was nothing more important in the world at that point. Rose felt like everything else had disappeared except for herself and Scorpius. She relaxed and he clambered on top of her, grabbing her hips as her hands wove through his hair. She could feel him against her as she went to tug his shirt off. He stopped kissing her for a moment to throw it off and then attacked her again, making her moan against his mouth.
This was right, this was so right. Rose didn't care anymore, she wanted Scorpius and only Scorpius and he said he was going to drop Avery and she was ecstatic as his mouth trailed kisses down her body, throwing her clothes off in the process until she was just in her underthings. She reached for his belt and he smacked her hand away, pulling it off himself until he was as naked as she was.
"Rose, do you love me?" He whispered, climbing back onto her, kissing her neck. Was there anyway not to love him? He was the boy she had grown up with, the boy who had been there for her always, the boy who was now a man, the man who she was madly in love with.
"I've always loved you." She admitted, pulling his mouth back to hers. She felt his hands drift down her body, pulling the rest of her clothes off, leaving her only dressed in the necklace he had given her hours before. Scorpius began feeling every crevice of her body, making her shudder with every touch. Her hands crept towards the waste band of his boxers and as she crooked her finger around them, he smacked her away again. She looked up into his eyes which were boring into hers. She reached down again and he didn't stop her but kissed her wildly, pressing his entire body into hers. She ran her tongue over his bottom lip and he pulled away from her again, nestling his head into the crook of her neck.
"We don't have to if you don't want to Rose. It is your birthday after all." He murmured, causing her to laugh melodically, sending his heart into overdrive. He had never felt this way about anyone before. He had been with more women than he cared to mention, but never before was there anyone like Rose. It had always been her.
"Scorpius, do you honestly think I would have let you get this far if I didn't want you to?"
"No, I suppose not." He thought about mentioning Jack; Rose had seemed happy with him, but Scorpius was feeling selfish and wanted her and mentioning Jack would screw everything up. God, he wanted her. So pushing his voice of reason out of his head, he laughed at the smirk on her face, kissed the corner of her mouth and began kissing every inch of her until she dragged his face back up to hers. He kissed her softly at first, until she pulled him closer to him and when he decided to finally enter her, her lips released his and her eyes widened.
They rhythmically writhed against each other, each ones breath labored and hearts pounding faster than ever. Then when Rose thought it couldn't get any better, she reached her peak and cried out in ecstasy as Scorpius buried his head into her neck, softly biting her. She felt him tense up and release with a cry not unlike her own and they froze one on top of the other, Scorpius still lightly kissing her neck as she regulated her breath. After a while, he reached for his wand and extended the blanket they were on and then rolled off of her, pulling the loose end of the blanket around the two of them like a cocoon. Rose snuggled into his body, nuzzling his chest.
"Can we stay here forever?" She muttered into his chest. She knew what she had just done…she had cheated on Jack…yet again. However, how could something so wrong feel so right? Not just sex, but being with Scorpius. How could she have missed out for so long? Scorpius laughed, the vibrations shaking her to her core. They were silent for a while, watching the last rays of the sun disappear behind the valley below. Rose began to shiver, the night air finishing off the heat that was still radiating from her body, prompting Scorpius to pull her even closer. "So…you are going to break it off with Avery right?"
"Oh, you see, I was thinking, maybe she could be my pet and you would just be my one true love. Need to switch it up every once in a while you know?" Rose punched him lightly in the gut and he laughed. "You do know you have to release Jack as well." Rose suddenly felt very guilty.
"Yeah…I know. Ah, well, let's go back to more of this and less of talking." She said pulling his lips to hers again. She was in heaven. She felt bad about leaving Jack. He was really nice to her and she was beginning to like him a lot, but true love was beckoning, something she couldn't pass up. Who would have thought Scorpius Malfoy, the boy her father told her to stay away from, would make her feel like this. She clambered back on top of him, their kissing growing heavy again until Rose saw a streak of silver light. She screamed and toppled off of Scorpius who was laughing now, harder than before. Rose realized it was Professor McGonagall's patronus and screamed again, covering herself up further and distancing herself from Scorpius. Bloody hell…I hope she can't see us through that Patronus…can she? The patronus cat opened its mouth and Professor McGonagall's voice erupted in the silence.
"Return immediately. There has been a grave accident."
Ooooo. I don't know how I feel about this chapter...or more so the next one. So it may take me a while to revise it. Sort of on a contradictory note to that, I start my first year of college Wednesday (eep!) so I may not update as frequently, but I would like to update as much as possible before then! I have a lot written (73 pages!), so it shouldn't be hard. Just some revising.
Anyway, leave me comments lovelies! I love them, seeing the email letting me know that I have a new comment makes me so happy!
