Rose's eyes slowly opened, the light of the morning sun making her squint, the sleep in her eyes clogging her vision. She groaned quietly and snuggled into the warm mass beside her, still in her dreamy state Rose sighed. She could just stay like this forever, her mind still fuzzy from sleep and the warm of the sun spreading across her body warming her up. Paradise. Rose heard a sleepy yawn from the warm mass, she looked up just managing to open her eyes after blinking the sun away. Scorpius. OK, this was paradise.

"Hey there" she whispered, her vocal chords obviously hadn't realised they had to wake up. Scorpius made a noise and smiled down at her, he looked just as happy as she felt. "Wow, we slept right through." Rose coughed. She glanced around her, yep, they were in the Head's Common Room. He eyes landed on the clock. "It's 9:15, so I guess we also slept extra. Something must've tired us out." Rose chuckled softly to herself. She felt her necklace around her neck, the gorgeous blue stone in the beautiful silver rose. It still gave her chills when she thought about it.

"Rose" Scorpius suddenly said, he sounded a lot more awake.

"Yes" she said, her voice muffled as she snuggled closer to him.

"It's 9:15" There was silence, Rose stopped for a second and then bolted straight upright. Her brain was definitely no longer fuzzy and this definitely wasn't paradise.

"OH MY GOD! IT'S 9:15! WE'RE LATE! LATE LATE! REALLY LATE!" Rose had stood up and was running around the Common Room, trying to find things. What she was looking for she had no idea. "WE MISSED BREAKFAST! WE ARE LATE FOR POTIONS WITH TIBIT!"

"Hey, hey stop!" Scorpius was running after Rose trying to stop her, but she was not prepared to be stopped. She couldn't be late, not for Potions and not with Tibit. "Wait, did you say we have Potions with Tibit now?"

"YES!" She screeched turning to him. "HE WILL DANGLE US FROM THE ATRONOMY TOWER UPSIDE DOWN!"

"Crap."

"YES CRAP!" Rose could see Scorpius starting to panic as well, her rubbed his chin and glanced around him. Rose started to breath very fast and mutter to herself. Her mind was going into overdrive. OK, mental list, what do I need? All my books, clean clothes, a hairbrush because I probably look like a ginger sheep, quill, parchment and my wand. Right all those things are in my room. Without a second to spare Rose bolted straight up to her room, she ignored Scorpius's confused calls from downstairs. She launched into her room and grabbed her shoulder bag, swept her desk with her arm so all of her quills parchment and books fell into her bag. She probably didn't need half of it but right now Rose couldn't care less. All she could think about was her Head Girl badge being taken away from her by Tibit, with an evil scowl. She shivered, quickly regain herself and grabbed a hairbrush and tried to rake through her mass of hair but gave up and tied it in a messy bun on top of her head. She then went to her drawers and grabbed clean clothes. Then into Albus's Room and grabbed clean clothes. She rushed downstairs to see Scorpius sitting on the sofa reading one of Albus's Quiditch Weekly, Rose couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Scorpius!" She shouted, her quickly stood up and chucked the magazine down.

"Yes."

"Put these on." She chucked Albus's clothes over to him and he caught them with ease.

"Albus's uniform?"

"Yes." Rose quickly undid her blouse and chucked on a fresh, she turned to Scorpius who had gone very quiet and was currently staring at her almost white. "Oh don't be a perv! Now put that uniform on!"

"But it's Albus's." He said quietly, looking down at the clothes in his hands. That was it, Rose marched right up to him and pointed and finger in his face.

"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, if you don't put that uniform on so help me I will dangle you over the astronomy tower upside down, castrate you then feed the leftovers to the giants squid. Understand?" Rose said, in a deadly voice. Scorpius had gone even whiter and blinked, speechless. "Put it on!" Rose had never seen Scorpius move so fast, he was dressed in matter of seconds. Rose slung her bag over her shoulder, cast a quick cleaning charm on herself so at least she smelt nice. Then she did the same to Scorpius, who reached over and grabbed the hairbrush from her bag. But Rose stopped him. "No."

"What?" Suddenly Rose felt very embarrassed. The reason she had stopped him was because she liked his hair a bit messy, it looked good on him. She went red and tried to hide her embarrassed smile.

"I- I like your hair a bit messy." She turned away and started fumbling in her bag, checking everything was there. She could almost feel Scorpius's smirk from behind her, it made her cringe.

"Oh really, and what do you like about it?" She felt his arms circle her waist, she wanted to push him off but couldn't bring herself to do it. She smiled and continued to search through her bag for nothing in particular.

"Look, you're going to make us even later!" She said, hurriedly. He just chuckled and squeezed her tighter.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me."

"Are you getting some sort of perverted pleasure out of making me even later for potions and making me tell you what I like about your hair?" Rose turned in his arms and gave him her best teacher look.

"Well, actually-" she cut him of by hitting him on the side of the arm, hard.

"I can't believe you!" She scoffed in disbelief. "OK" she gave in when he made no move to leave. "I think it makes you look more... more..." she couldn't really find the word to describe it, or maybe she could it just embarrassed her. "Sexy." she said quietly and tore herself from Scorpius's grip, her face basically a tomato.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that." Scorpius said, she turned to him. She sighed.

"It makes you look sexy." She confessed, then she pulled his hand and pulled him out of the Common Room. "Now we are going to Potions, I don't care what you say." She heard Scorpius chuckle as she pulled him out of the Common Room. She took one last look at the clock, 9:30. Crap. "Come on!" Suddenly Scorpius started running, really running. Rose screamed as she was pulled along at an alarming rate. "SSSCCCOOORRRPPIIIUUUUSSSS!" Scorpius laughed and pulled her along even faster, while Rose flailed beside him. They both ran through the corridors, bounded down stairs and skidded around corners. Until they finally reached Dungeon five, both of them were gasping for breath and smiling. Rose tried to stop the laugh that burst forward, and had to cover her mouth.

"Well, you didn't want to be any later." Scorpius said, breathlessly.

"We better go in then." Rose said, trying to sort out her windswept hair. Which had fallen out of the bun she had put it in only minutes before. She looked nervously at Scorpius, who smiled.

"Don't worry, what the worst he can do?" Rose said nothing as they approached the door, she let out a breath. Scorpius pushed open the door and they both stepped in as casually as possible. Suddenly she felt every pair of eyes in the room on her. She froze. Rose could feel the heat in her cheeks. She felt a nudge in her back as Scorpius pushed her into the classroom, she staggered forward a few steps.

"Miss. Weasley, Mr. Malfoy how lovely of you to grace us with your presence." Rose suddenly saw Professor Tibit, walking down to them from the front of the class. She looked at him wide eyed, her fear growing with his every step. "Pray tell, what is the reason for your incredible timing?" His voice was rising with every word, Rose couldn't move a muscle.

"Well sir," Scorpius suddenly said from behind her. His voice was calm, casual and didn't show a hint of fear. "What happened was, last night we both sat at different tables for the feast so I had to talk to Frank for a bit before I went to find Rose. Then I get outside and Rachael" he pointed to Rachael who went very pale. "Questioned me about my girlfriend, so I was there for ages while she tried to kiss me and screeched at me." Rose then turn to Scorpius. She tried to KISS him? Rose turned to Rachael who was looking at her, Rose couldn't stop the almighty glare that she gave Rachael he hatred boiling over. "Then when I finally got back to the Head's Common Room to see Rose she wasn't there, she was talking to Michael" he pointed to Michael who looked away immediately. "Who was telling her stuff, so when we both got to see each other we were both so tired we fell asleep on the sofa and only woke up, oh lets see... forty five minutes ago." The whole class was silent, Tibit was staring at them looking completely baffled. Rose's head was spinning, she couldn't even get her head around that story. "And actually if you add up the facts, it's actually Michael and Rachael's fault that we're late." Tibit shook his head as if there were too many thoughts swimming around inside it.

"Just... Sit down both you." Tibit said, he turned back to walk to the chalk board. Rose slipped into the seat next to Monica, and she heard Scorpius sit next to Albus. "Right getting back to the lesson... please continue to brew your laughing potions..." Tibit sat in his chair and grabbed his forehead. "Crazy Kids" Rose heard him mumble under his breath. Steadily, the class began to settle and get back to there work. Rose looked at the purple potion in Monica's cauldron, oh dear, that was definitely not a laughing potion. Monica couldn't last a second without her.

"Monica I think-"

"Where the hell have you been?" Monica said grabbing her shoulders.

"Weren't you listening to Scorpius?" Rose laughed a little.

"That wasn't true though?"

"Every word!" Rose said, taking Monica's hands away from her shoulders. Monica just looked at her and shook her head.

"Oh my God!" Suddenly Rose yanked by the collar to Monica. Rose choked at little.

"Will you cut it out?"

"Where did you get that necklace?" Monica had the pendant in her hand and turned it over several times. "It's gorgeous!"

"Scorpius gave it to me." Rose blushed and looked away, knowing Scorpius was sat right behind them and word her every word they were saying.

"It's amazing" Monica whispered, as if in a trance.

"Are you wearing my clothes?" There was a sudden shout from behind them, and they both turned to see Albus looking at Scorpius and holding the arm of his jumper.

"I might be..."

"This is my Thursday jumper, it's Monday!" Albus looked as if he might blow a fuse. Rose just turned to Monica and they both looked at each other, Monica was holding her laughs in and seeing that face Rose just erupted. The whole ordeal this morning and the torture in front of the class, Rose just couldn't stop herself. Both of them were filling the room with there laughs. It was only after their laughter had wound down that they saw the whole class was looking there direction. Rose felt herself go beet red, and Tibit's look just made her want to faint.

"Not another peep out of any of you four or else" then he turned to the black board, Monica and Rose looked at each other in silence and physically agreed. We have to stop that or Tibit will eat us alive. "Right, now that we have everyone here" he paused, and Rose rolled her eyes. "Let's get down to business." He turned to face them all. "Well, page 169 in your books. Now!" They all brought out their books and looked at the title. Antidote to Uncommon Poisons. Rose raised her eye brows. This was hard. Rose loved potions but...

"Well..." Monica said, turning to Rose.

"There are way too many ways to blow up the room in this recipe."

"Agreed." Rose and Monica (reluctantly) set to work. Collecting ingredients and brewing like everyone else. About half way through the lesson, however Monica suddenly asks her something that she really didn't want to hear. "So have you thought about your decision yet?"

"Monica please!" Rose said, carefully sprinkling some Fire seeds into the unpredictable looking liquid currently bubbling in her cauldron. "I don't want to talk about this now, I'm kind of preoccupied on not blowing us all up!"

"But Rose you can't go on like this forever, don't act like you've forgotten what happened with your Dad. Just because we're back at Hogwarts doesn't mean you have to forget about it." The truth was she had been acting like it never happened, every time she did think about it, it made her want to throw up.

"Monica, seriously. I don't want to talk about it. And I don't have to make a decision about it, Dad will accept it. So will you drop it, already?"

"It didn't look like he would just drop it at the party." Rose let out a long breath, and closed her eyes. She composed herself and then turned to Monica.

"Look, I know you're my best friend and everything but I really don't need you on my back about this OK? When I'm ready I'll tell you what I'm doing but right now I'm still figuring it out." She turned back to her Potions and Monica didn't say anything. Rose thought she'd got the message. Rose suddenly felt a prickling on her neck like someone was watching her, she turned to see Scorpius. Of course. She smiled, he'd obviously heard what had just gone on between her and Monica. He smiled back, just. She sighed and carried on with her Potion. Rose hoped none of this would affect Scorpius' decision to be with her, she knew it wouldn't but still, it worried her.

"Scorp, we need some of that" Rose listened.

"Some of what?"

"That green stuff."

"And what's it called?"

"I don't know, just find it." Scorpius sighed and Rose heard him get up and she stared at his back as he started across the room. She could see the muscles ripple in his back through his shirt, she couldn't help smiling. Suddenly she caught sight of Rachael, and felt confused. She was holding her cauldron and also watching Scorpius. Oh God. It all happened at once. Scorpius walked passed Rachael and just as he did, Rachael got up and the potion went everywhere. Rachael looked at Rose and smirked.

"OH MY GOSH!" screeched Rachael, her hands flying into the air. " I'M SO SORRY!"

"MY CLOTHES!" Albus jumped up behind her, but Rose couldn't take her eyes off the scene in front of her. Scorpius jumped backwards and cursed.

"What is going on here? Malfoy, you again!" Tibit strode over.

"Scorpius, I'm so sorry!" Rachael stepped closer and began to try to rub, yes rub the potion off him. Rose was fuming, if she didn't get her hands off him soon she would make sure her hands never did anything ever again.

"Rachael please-"

"I've had it with all of you today!" Tibit exclaimed, flicking his robes behind him. "Malfoy, Zabini, detention tomorrow after dinner! 5 till 7!"

"What? SIR!" Scorpius shouted, Rose couldn't believe it.

"NO EXCUSES!" Rachael looked thoroughly pleased with herself. What was her sick twisted game?

"It's so unfair!" Rose said, as Scorpius and her sat in the courtyard on the wall. She stood between his legs while he looked up at her an exasperated look on his face. He held her hands tightly.

"I know. It so obvious she poured that potion on my on purpose, I don't know what she's up to but I don't like it." I spike of fear went through Rose, what was she doing? Could it really do anythign to their relationship. Rose bit her lip. "Hey!" Scorpius said, a worried tone to his voice. He pulled Rose onto his lap. "Don't worry about her, all I care about is being with you. Nothing else." He kissed her and she couldn't resist. When they finally split, Rose just sank into him.

"I'm sorry about Monica." She said. "She just doesn't seemed to understand."

"It's alright, I'm sorry about Rachael. I should've dealt with this." He sighed.

"You tried, she just doesn't know when no is no." She looked into his grey eyes, they were full of emotions. Just like hers, she expected. "I know this is a totally stupid thing to say but..."

"What?"

"Please don't let anything happen in that detention, it's obviously what she wants."

"Rose, stop being stupid. Or I may have to kiss you again." He chuckled.

"I'm sorry, that just came out."

"It's fine." They sat there in silence for a while feeling the light breeze flow around them. Rose felt him kiss her neck, she sighed and feel into him. "I love you." he whispered.

"Love you more."

"Impossible." He kissed her lips. He was like a drug, a very powerful one. All of Rose's worries flew out of her head. He was loyal to her, she knew that and everything else seemed silly now. Rose just needed to worry about him, and their happiness. No-one elses.

A/N: It's been a LLLLLOOOONNNGGGG time, I know. GCSE's and SO MUCH STUFF going in my life, but Rose and Scorpy are still there. Be expecting more soon, please keep with me!
