Rose made to slide off of the kitchen counter where she was perched. As her feet hit the floor two shapes appeared in front of her.
"So what was that then?" Fred asked adamantly.
Rose looked back and forth between James and Fred, willing the blush to dissipate from her cheeks. She felt like a child who had been caught with her hand in the proverbial cookie jar. These two had seen Scorpius nestled up nice and close to her a few minutes ago. Deciding that feigning ignorance was her best course of action she schooled her expression into one of frustration. "Oh hi Fred, hi James, never one to mince words and actually have a greeting for your cousin eh? And what was what? What are you talking about?"
Watching her face away from them as she poured herself another glass of firewhiskey, James spoke, "We saw Scorp over here and you and he looked mighty cozy."
Rose turned around to face them, "We were just talking. You do know that I'm friends with him and also roommates with him don't you?" Trying desperately to keep an innocent look on her face she looked from one of her nosey cousins to the other.
Fred crossed his arms, unimpressed, "That looked like it was much too close to just be between friends."
Refusing to back down, "Well it is loud in here, in case you haven't noticed there's a party going on with loud music!" She knew she was being unnecessarily snarky, but she still didn't know what it was that was really going on between her and her best mate, she didn't want to have to talk to James and Fred about it.
The two men looked at her skeptically but knew that when Rose didn't want to talk about something, she was definitely not going to talk about it. She stood looking defiantly up at both of them, challenging them to continue the interrogation and see what else she has for them. Fred gave up first, "Whatever you say Rosie, want to come dance?"
She shrugged but was pleased that they gave up their questions, "Why not, I promised Al I'd try to have fun." She began to walk behind Fred and James through the crowd of people in the small flat. James disappeared with a wink claiming he was going to go seek out the witch he had been chatting up earlier.
Scorpius leaned against the wall watching people dance. Or at least watching one specific person dance. After he made his hurried exit from the kitchen he had soon seen Fred drag Rose out onto the dance floor. Her stony exterior soon began to thaw and his bright and bubbly Rose started to make an appearance as her cousin twirled her around their now rearranged living room. Scorpius ran a hand harshly through his hair, he knew he didn't want to lose his chance with Rose, but what did he just do by blurting all of those things out to her in the kitchen. He hadn't even given her time to respond before he unceremoniously abandoned her. He let his head drop back and hit the wall behind him, closing his eyes and trying to will the past twenty minutes to have never happened, even if it felt oddly freeing to have told her the truth. When he opened his eyes again he was looking into a pair of curious green eyes paired with a mop of unruly black hair.
At least Al came with another drink in his hand for him, "What do you want Al?" He quietly took the glass from Al while willing himself to not try and seek out Rose with his eyes.
"In case you hadn't noticed mate, this is a party, you aren't supposed to be moping about next to the wall during a party." Al grinned at him and then turned to lean his back against the wall next to his friend.
Scorpius nodded absently, allowing himself to follow Rose's movements again. Fred passed her on to one of James' professional quidditch mates, they were dancing closer than what Scorpius wanted them to be. He wanted to grab Rose and drag her to his bedroom, demand that she tell him how she feels about him before having his way with her. Rose swayed and laughed in time to the music, she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The man she danced with had drawn her in closer still and swayed against her, Scorpius found a small comfort in the fact that Rose's cheeks didn't seem to color with that enticing blush like it did when he was close to her. He still didn't like the way the man's hands found the small of Rose's back. His hands clenched and his knuckles turned white against his glass.
"Mate, what on earth is the matter with you?" Al nudged him with an elbow, his face was flushed from the amount of whiskey he had already consumed.
"I don't want to talk about it Al," Scorpius removed his gaze from Rose and looked at his friend. "I'm glad you're out of St. Mungo's mate, I know you weren't there long but it's good to have you back."
"It's good to be back! Besides who knows what you and Rose would be up to if I wasn't around as a chaperone," He smirked at his friend who rolled his eyes in his direction. A broad smile erupted across the young Potter's face, "Speaking of Rose, I do believe that I need to go steal her away from Eric because I don't like him very much and she's not looking too thrilled about him either!" With that Al bounced away through the crowd making a swaying bee line for his cousin.
Scorpius watched Al move through the crowd, he was appreciative of his friend breaking up the close dancing of Rose and the man now known as Eric. He sipped at his drink and watched as Rose looked gratefully to her cousin leading her away with a smile on his face. The blonde continued to watch the two as they threaded through the crowd.
Rose leaned in to whisper something in Al's ear, something that he responded to with a huge smile and an emphatic nod of his head. Scorpius' curiosity piqued as he watched Al raise his wand and flick it to change the song. An old muggle duet song came across the speakers and a drunken Al and Rose clambered up onto the couch to stand at least a head taller than everyone else at the party. Scorpius had seen this routine before, a remnant of Al and Rose's childhood together, clinging to each other when the older siblings and cousins couldn't be bothered with them. The two sang loudly and off key to each other with several semi-coordinated dance moves thrown in, the rest of the party goers laughed and cheered them on. Their go-to karaoke routine always served to cheer Rose up no matter why she was in a foul mood.
As he watched his two roommates make complete fools of themselves, Scorpius stiffened as he was no longer the only one leaning against this stretch of the wall. James had walked over and was studying him closely, one shoulder propping himself up on the wall.
With a nod to the elder Potter, "James."
"Scorpius," James nodded curtly back. "What's going on between you and Rose?"
Blimey, jumping right to the point then! Scorpius schooled his expression into one of mild interest. "What makes you think there's anything going on between me and Rose?" Since when are all of the Potters so damn perceptive? Or am I that obvious?
"Come on Scorp, Fred and I saw you two in the kitchen," James smirked as a blush settled over Scorpius' face. "Take it from someone who flirts with women often, I know what I saw."
Scorpius desperately tried to think of something to say. Why do I have to fancy a witch who has so many nosey relatives? Firewhiskey clouding his thoughts, he chose to remain quiet, still watching Al and Rose sing off key.
James studied the younger man and smiled. "Listen, everyone in our family likes you, you've already been part of the family since Al brought you home that first summer from Hogwarts." At this Scorpius glanced over at him with a faint smile on his features. James continued, "Does Rose know that you fancy her? She can be a bit oblivious sometimes when it comes to romance." He smiled as he watched his brother and cousin goof around and sing.
The flush on Scorpius' face became more pronounced, "Yes she knows, that's actually what I was telling her in the kitchen when you saw us." At this James head jerked back to look at him.
"Well what did she say?!"
"I er, I sort of just told her to find me later but that I meant what I said." The blonde looked sheepish and stared into his firewhiskey glass, "I saw that you and Fred had noticed us and I guess I panicked a bit."
James let out a loud guffaw and continued to laugh, Scorpius grinned a bit as well. When James had finally calmed down enough to speak, "Well it's no wonder she was so flustered when Fred and I talked to her, she was pretty damn feisty right off the bat!"
"Yeah, that was sort of my doing." Scorpius laughed and let his eyes land on Rose again. The song had ended and Al had helped her climb down off the couch, it appeared he was being reprimanded for doing so, Scorpius could just imagine what was being said "Al I don't need your help getting off of our couch, you're the one that was in the hospital, not me!" Al threw an arm around her shoulder and pulled her in for a side hug, effectively quieting her down. Rose broke away from her cousin and made towards the kitchen, likely looking for more to drink. When Al spun around he caught sight of Scorpius and James and began to walk over.
"For the record though Scorpius," James was watching him intently again, "I think you'd be good for Rose." It was at that moment that Al made it over to them.
Looking up at his friend in surprise Al said, "You told James what's been going on?!"
With a groan Scorpius let his head fall backward to the wall, "He and Fred may have seen me flirting with Rose in the kitchen and telling her that I wanted her." He squeezed his eyes shut tightly and willed himself to disappear.
Al's jaw dropped open, "You what?! You told her?! What did she say?"
James started laughing once again, "He got scared Al, he saw me and Fred walking over and he just walked away from her and left her in the kitchen!"
"Ow! Bloody hell Al!" Scorpius rubbed the now tender spot on his arm where Al's fist had connected to it. His friend was glowering at him, "Listen I told her that I meant everything that I said and to find me later, so it's up to her now."
"So you meant what you said, but what all did you tell her?" James asked smirking.
Scorpius flushed under the brother's scrutiny, "I don't think you guys need to hear it." He took another sip of his whiskey as James and Al laughed. All three pairs of eyes widened as they heard a shout and a loud thud coming from their kitchen. They raced over to the doorway, Al and Scorpius had their wands drawn just in case.
After dancing with Al and admonishing him for helping her off the couch while he was still healing, Rose made her way towards the kitchen in search of another drink. Karaoke with Al had put her in a better mood, as usual she could always count on Al to cheer her up and distract her from her wildly spinning thoughts. Now without distraction she let herself think about everything that Scorpius had told her. The fire whiskey she drank to try to quiet her nerves was clouding her head, but parts of their conversation kept coming back to her. He seemed so earnest when he said what he said. He really wants me; he thinks I'm bloody sexy. She shook her head in disbelief and leaned against the counter as she poured herself another drink.
Two large hands came to rest on either side of her body on the counter, effectively trapping her in. These weren't Scorpius' hands. She stood as tall as she could and turned around to be face to face with Dylan MacMillan.
"MacMIllan."
"Hi Weasley." He slurred down at her. His face was flushed and he had obviously had quite a bit to drink already.
This was not the first time he had tried to corner Rose at any number of Al's party, but she really was not in the mood for his attempt at flirting tonight. "Can I help you with something MacMIllan?" She asked coldly, willing him to take the hint and leave her alone.
He stayed leaning against the counter trapping her in, not showing any signs of moving. "There are a few things you can help me with, but we'd have to go somewhere much more private for that." He leered down at her.
Rose tried to focus on what her best option was. He was too drunk to listen to a word she was saying, he was much bigger than she was and he was trained as an auror so he was strong. Her wand was in the pocket of her scrub pants so she could go for it if needed but with the way he was trapping her in against the counter she wouldn't have much room to draw it out easily. Sighing, "MacMillan I'm really not in the mood for your attempt at flirting tonight. Please leave me alone."
He looked angry for a moment, "Weasley why is it that you never give me even the time of day?" His words came out quickly and slurred and she watched as the muscles in his forearms rippled with his tensed hands. He was getting angry and Rose tensed up. "I could really show you a good time if you'd let me." With this he moved his hands and made to rest them on her hips, gripping much too tightly.
"MacMIllan, take your hands off me please. I said no, this isn't happening. Besides you're drunk, you don't even know what you're saying."
He simply gripped her hips harder and made to press himself against her, "Come on Weasley, how can you say no?"
Rose bristled, "I said no MacMIllan, let go." As he refused Rose lifted her right leg to wrap behind his left leg, hooking him at the knee before placing both hands on his chest and giving him a hard shove. He let out a muffled yell as he could not recover his balance and landed on the kitchen floor with a hard thud. "The next time a woman tells you know you listen to her MacMillan. You may think your merlin's gift to witches everywhere but you're not. You're lucky I couldn't reach my wand easily because this would have been much much worse for you." She had her hands on her hips and her face was flushed with anger. Looking up she saw James, Al and Scorpius standing in the doorway, Al and Scorpius had their wands drawn ready to respond to whatever was happening and all three men just looked at her with wide eyed admiration.
Al spoke first, "How did you manage to take down an auror without your wand?" He glanced down at MacMillan who was grumbling on the floor.
Rose was embarrassed at having the three of them witness one of the many interactions with Dylan MacMillan that she would rather pretend didn't happen. She spoke with more confidence than she was feeling at the moment, "You really think dad and Uncle Harry would have let me out in public without teaching me some hand to hand defensive skills?" She grabbed her drink off the counter and made to walk past the three in the doorway as they still watched her. Al and James looked proud and Scorpius looked surprised and impressed as his eyes had darkened with attraction for her. The three turned to watch her disappear into the crowd in the flat again.
Scorpius leaned against the wall still staring at where he last saw her, "Bloody hell, I'm a goner." James and Al laughed and clapped him on the back with sympathy.
MacMillan had finally pulled himself up to standing and was staring apprehensively at the three men in the doorway. It took them a moment to remember that he was even still there.
Al started in on him first, "Listen Dylan, I don't know what you said or did to Rose to make her lay you out flat like that, but I promise you if you ever even attempt anything with her again you'll have to answer to us." James and Scorpius nodded slightly, staring the man down. Al continued, "And after you've answered to us, we'll make sure that Rose has plenty of time to be as creative as she'd like to be with her curses, just stay away from her or you will sorely regret the consequences."
Trying to act with bravado born of too many drinks, MacMillan drew himself up to his full height, "Is that a threat Potter?"
Scorpius stepped forward and stepped right into his face, "It's a promise MacMillan, stay away from Rose."
MacMillan looked between the three. Deciding that a fight was not worth his time, he stumbled past them and out of the kitchen.
Rose left the kitchen as quickly as she could and wandered the party aimlessly for a while. She stuck towards the outskirts of the party, dancing a few times with some acquaintances but stuck inside her own head. No matter where she wandered to in the flat she felt a like there was a pair of grey eyes following her movements. She was on edge and jumpy and had probably had too much to drink.
The party started to wind down and she retreated to her room. She threw on a pair of shorts and an old Gryffindor quidditch shirt and collapsed backwards onto her bed. Scorpius told me to find him later, should I? What do I even say? She was frustrated in more ways than one, she roughly ran her hands through her hair that had long ago sprung free from her hair tie. She could hear the music turn off in the flat, and the last few people slurring their goodbyes. She knew there was a chance that there would be people sleeping in the living room, too drunk to apparate home safely. If she went to Scorpius' room there could be other people sleeping in there or they could see her walk over. She felt like she could still the ghost of his fingers where they drew circles on her thigh. She groaned and sat up on her bed.
Now she wasn't just frustrated, she was angry! How dare he do this to me! He told me all about his feelings and then just up and left! Who does that?! Why does he make me feel more confused than I've ever been about a guy before, it's just unfair! He teases and he gets close and then he professes feelings and leaves me sitting there on the counter. Temper flaring, Rose stood up and stomped over to her door. She took a steadying breath before opening it and walking the few short steps to his room. She didn't dare look down the hall for fear of making eye contact with someone and breaking her resolve. She rapped smartly on his door, probably harder than what was strictly necessary for this hour of night.
Scorpius opened the door still wearing his jeans and sweater. He looked hopeful at first when he saw it was Rose, but that look quickly turned to apprehension as he saw how angry she looked. Her hair was down and in a curling chaotic mess that seemed to crackle with the energy her temper was giving her. "Rose?"
"I'm coming in." With one glance up at his face she brushed past him into his room. She looked around quickly to make sure no one else was there and then looked at the bed. Memories of the night before flooded back to her quickly.
Scorpius watched her standing still in the middle of his room. He quietly shut the door behind her and turned to face her, he uttered a quick muffling charm, feeling wary and unsure of how this conversation might go, he definitely didn't want anyone listening in. "Rose?" He tried again.
Rose spun around to face him arms crossed tightly in front of her, green eyes blazing. "Scorpius Malfoy how dare you!"
His mouth dropped open in shock, What the hell did I do? he thought quickly to himself. He stayed where he was near the door watching the fuming redhead. He couldn't help but admit that she was extremely attractive when she was this wound up, green eyes on fire, hair seemingly alive, and the faint blush that colored the tops of her cheekbones. He'd be very turned on if he wasn't so confused and afraid of what she might do. Her temper was not one that anyone wanted to be on the receiving end of.
One hand moved to her hip as the other shot out in front of her to point an accusatory finger at him, "You get me all wound up earlier by drawing such infuriating circles on my thigh and leaning in close and whispering at me and saying you want to help cheer me up and just being so cheeky and forward. Then you tell me all those wonderful things like how you want to see me naked again and again and that you never want to have to let me go." She was blushing furiously now and barely took a breath in between sentences. "And then you just leave! You see my family and you leave!" She glared at him quietly.
Scorpius still wasn't sure why she was angry, surely she couldn't be this angry just because he walked away from her earlier. "Rose I –"
"I wasn't finished!" She jumped in angrily. "You left and you didn't give me a chance to say anything! And lately it's like you're finding excuses to get me into a situation to be close to you and be alone with you, and then last night I don't even know how we ended up in bed other than you just looking at me with your damn sex eyes!" He chuckled a bit at this but quieted instantly when she narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Knowing if he didn't jump in soon she could keep going with a full head of steam, "Rose why are you so angry about all of this?"
Rose spluttered and opened and closed her mouth in a way that would have been comical if the situation had been different. She quieted and wrapped her arms around herself tightly, it wasn't the same angry way she had done a few minutes ago, but it was like she was comforting herself as best she could. Thoughts racing through her head she looked up at him with wide eyes that looked scared and vulnerable, two emotions he rarely saw in her face. She turned to face away from him, still knotted around herself tightly.
Scorpius took several tentative steps forward, drawing as close as he dared. He was now close enough to reach out and touch her, with a deep breath his hands went to her upper arms to spin her to face him, "Rose please talk to me, why are you so angry with me? I don't want you to be upset."
She huffed a bit and her shoulders dropped in resignation, she refused to meet his eyes as she muttered, "I'm angry with you because you made me care about you and I don't want to lose you, you git."
Scorpius tried desperately to keep the broad smile off of his face, but inside he was overjoyed at this confession. Rose admits she cares about me! Confusion crossed his face for a moment, what's all this about losing me though? "Um Rose? What makes you think you're going to lose me?"
Rose hardly even breathed for a moment as she thought about her answer, she ran both hands through her wild hair and spun away from him, beginning to pace the room with a newfound energy. "Scorp, you realize how much I work right? I'm always at St. Mungo's or at the auror office, I'm rarely ever here much less I don't really have any true spare time." He sat on the edge of his bed as he sensed she was really winding herself up for a long speech. He watched her pace back and forth, getting the feeling that she wasn't really talking to him but simply thinking out loud near him. "You're an auror and that's a dangerous job in itself, our schedules are likely never going to sync up ever. Besides if I did want to pursue something romantic with you then what if you got tired of me? That's a friendship that's down the drain and I'd wind up hurt. And what would we do about Al, it's like he'd have to pick sides if we split up. And we don't even know if we'd be all that compatible, I mean sure we get along well enough and have for a while but we drive each other crazy and we used to fight a lot. But the sex was amazing and the day you kiss me against that wall I swear I saw stars, so that has to mean something right? But I don't want to get hurt, there's always too much pain at work I don't want it to happen here too and I'm sure you'd get sick of me eventually and then we'd just have to go around being awkward roommates and I'd pine after you like a lovesick school girl and it would just be terrible…"
A small smile had played on Scorpius' face ever since she started talking, it grew bigger at the mention of Al having to pick sides, like they would have split custody of their roommate. He was practically beaming by the time she rambled about how amazing the sex was and that she saw stars. This was his Rose, and he needed her to always be his Rose. He just needed to convince her that he wasn't going anywhere and no amount of her insecurity would ever get in the way, no amount of hours spent healing people would stop him from wanting her. He stood and walked into the path of her pacing causing her to stop short in the middle of her rambling. She stopped suddenly nearly running straight into his chest.
He grasped her upper arms, then moved one hand to her face, lifting her chin up so her wide green eyes met his warm grey ones. "Rose, please stop worrying."
"But-" She started.
"Rose, I have no plans to hurt you if I have my way. When I said that I want you, I meant it. I didn't mean for just a week or a month, I meant forever." Her eyes widened even more at this confession. He was already too far in to stop now though, he smiled down at her, "I know you work a lot and you care about your work. It will always come first and I have no issue with that. I'll wait as long as you need me to wait for you just to be able to spend time with you." He moved his hand and brushed a curl behind her ear, delighting in the blush that spread across her features as she still stared at him with rapt attention.
She moved slightly closer to him as he spoke to her, reveling in the warmth of his body. Some of his words sounded very reminiscent of what her Aunt Ginny had told her, the right guy will wait as long as necessary and won't expect more time than what she is able to give. A small smile started to spread across her face matching the one that he wore.
"And since we're apparently in the business of being honest today, I might as well tell you that it was bloody attractive that you could take down an auror on your own and I think you're dead sexy when you're angry!" He gave her a cheeky grin.
A laugh bubbled forth from her as she stared at him in amusement and she took another half step into the warmth of his body. "So what now?" She asked as his hand started drawing circles on her shoulder.
He coiled a copper curl around his finger, "Well it is getting late." He closed whatever distance remained between their bodies and pressed himself up against her small frame. "But you could stay here tonight?"
"But what if my family finds out I spent the night in here with you?" Rose started to lose herself in the darkening of his eyes and the way his hands just barely brushed against her.
He leaned down closer to her and spoke softly, "I don't think they would mind Rose, but that's a conversation for another time."
She hesitated for a moment, but realized that it didn't matter what any of her family might think, she wanted this, no she needed this! She pulled his mouth down to meet hers. As their lips moved softly against each other he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her flush against him. His hands gripped her body hungrily and soon traveled under her thin t shirt to find her soft skin. Rose gasped into his mouth at the feeling of his large warm hands splayed protectively across her back. He was lighting a fire within her and she desperately needed more. She had never been with someone who made her feel this alive in the throes of passion, it had always felt good before, but never this electric.
She pulled away from his lips, ignoring the sound of protest he made and focusing on the groan that he released as she teased her way down his neck with her lips. Her hands found the hem of his sweater and she began tugging it up, breaking contact with him long enough for him to pull it off over his head. Rose's lips met his again with increased urgency, her small hands rested on his hips as she began to walk him backwards to the bed and both of his hands fisted in her hair. She pushed him down to sit on the edge of the bed, standing between his long legs to continue to kiss him. She trailed her teeth along his bottom lip roughly and an animalistic growl was ripped from his throat. With surprising strength, he wrapped one arm around her hips and hooked his other hand behind her knee and the next thing she knew she was straddling his lap as he sat on the edge of the bed.
Scorpius almost couldn't take it any longer, he pulled Rose onto his lap and started to kiss roughly down her neck. He needed her like a drowning man needs air. She rolled her hips against his now growing erection and let out a small whimper. He pulled her shirt off over her head and let his mouth close over one of her nipples. She threw her head back and fisted her hands in his hair at the sensation as she continued to roll her hips against his, her breathing coming out more and more ragged by the minute. He teased her with his teeth until she roughly grabbed his head and brought his lips back up to meet hers in frenzied desperation. She ground harder against him and he clutched at her and held her as close as he physically could.
Suddenly Rose pulled back and looked at him with the most determination he had ever seen in her eyes, "Take off your pants now." She stood and shimmied out of her own shorts and stood before him completely naked. As his surprise wore off he stood to strip off his own pants and underwear only to be quickly pushed back to sit on the edge of the bed by Rose. She placed one knee on either side of him to straddle him again and slowly slid down onto his waiting erection, filling herself completely with him.
"Fuck Rose" He buried his head in the crook of her neck as she started to move against him, grinding in slow circles and moving to slid up and down on him. His hands went to her hips to hold her close and her hands fisted in his hair. She kissed him softly and then harder trying to display all the passion she felt for him in that moment. They were both panting and breathing harder as he started to thrust and meet her movements. Rose tried desperately to move faster as she moved closer and closer to the euphoria they were both chasing. Scorpius kissed her hard once more before pulling away and moving one hand from her hips to rest along the side of her face with is fingers buried in her hair. "Rose, look at me," he muttered as he continued to thrust up into her wet heat.
Rose's eyes snapped open, green sparkling eyes met pools of molten grey and she rocked her hips more erratically soon coming undone from the intense emotions written in his eyes. He followed her soon after with several more frantic thrusts. Groaning out her name he soon stilled with his forehead resting in the crook of her neck. Her arms were wrapped tightly around him as his arms wrapped tightly around her hips. Simply holding each other for several quiet moments.
Movements slowed with the sweet relaxation of sex, they made their way to lay on Scorpius' bed, Rose's head rested on his chest, listening to his now slow heartbeat. He wrapped an arm protectively around her, securing her to his side. As sleep threatened to overtake them, Rose stirred a bit. "Scorpius?"
"Yeah Rosie?" His sleepy voice answered.
"If I tell you something, will you promise not to make it a big deal?" She asked meekly, burying her face in his chest. "It's just something I think you should know."
He stroked her wild hair, that was now even wilder after his hands had been in it. "You can tell me anything Rose."
"I very well think I could fall for you completely Scorp." A small voice said, sounding wistful yet worried at the same time. "And I'm afraid that if you don't feel the same way, I could end up with a lot of pain."
He tightened his arm around her and leaned down to press a kiss on her head. "Rose I've already fallen for you, and I have no plans in leaving. In fact, if I get my way, you'll never hurt again."
She nodded against his chest and sighed happily, soon they both fell into a fitful sleep.
The next morning Rose jerked awake to the sound of banging on a door. It took her a moment to realize that she was not in her own bed, she turned and saw Scorpius behind her, wrapped around her completely, a morning erection slightly digging into her bum. Before she could enjoy the sensation too much there was more banging on the door, followed by a voice.
"Oi Scorp! Have you seen Rose? Did she have to go into work today?" Came the voice of Al Potter from outside.
Rose desperately elbowed Scorpius to wake him up. "What Rosie? Go back to sleep." He tried to pull her tighter against him and snuggle back in when she spoke harshly.
"Al is outside of your room and I'm afraid he will soon be inside it!"
Scorpius' eyes snapped open, "Oh shit."
Al finally decided he no longer wanted to observe social niceties and he tried the doorknob, unlocked! He threw the door open and took several blind steps into the room before freezing with a wide eyed stare. Rose was in bed next to his best mate and she was trying desperately to hold the blankets against her chest while she turned an impressive shade of red. Scorpius stared back at him in a panic and sat up in bed. When the shock started to wear off at what he walked into Al began to grin widely.
He let out a loud whoop and cried, "Well it's about damn time!"
