New Pastime

The next day went the same as every other day. Scorpius and Albus got detention from Headmistress McGonagall for disrupting the lesson. They would have to polish all of the Divination teacher's crystal balls without magic the coming Saturday evening.

That evening, the common room was pretty full, as it usually was on a Friday night. The students tended to stay up later, as they didn't have class the next morning. Albus was a bit irritated; he wanted to see if he could somehow get Scorpius to kiss him again, but he couldn't, with all those people around.

They had enough of a reputation for people to get out of their seats when they approached. Even though they were only thirteen (Scorpius almost fourteen), people respected the two trouble makers. Taking their places in their special sofa by the fireplace, they engaged in light, joking conversation with the people around them. They chatted for a while, mostly to each other, and occasionally to everyone else.

At about nine o' clock, Albus quietly asked Scorpius if he wanted to with him to Gryffindor Tower and hang out with James and Fred for a bit. They often did this on Fridays, seeing as James refused to come down to the dungeons.

The boys excused themselves and proceeded to Gryffindor tower, which was at the opposite end of the school. The walked the long way in companionable silence. They knew the shortest route (which was still pretty long) quite well by now. "Hey, Ally?" Scorpius spoke.

"Yeah?" Albus replied, passing a portrait of a ballerina doing a magical dance.

"Wanna snog again?" Scorpius asked, not a trace of shyness. Albus grinned.

"Sure" he said. Scorpius grinned back and held out his hand. Albus took it and followed Scorpius to a narrow, hidden passageway that was concealed behind a tapestry. They were closer to Gryffindor Tower than the dungeons now.

The passageway wasn't well lit and wasn't warm, but not really cold either. It was a neutral temperature. "This'll do fine" Scorpius assessed.

"Where does this even lead to?" Albus asked, squinting, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the lighting (or lack thereof).

"The corridor where Charms class is" Scorpius replied, turning to face his friend. The passageway was narrow and the boys were forced to be quite close together. Closing the short distance between them, Scorpius pushed his lips to Albus's firmly.

Knowing what to expect his time, Albus responded immediately, taking the initiative to place his arms around Scorpius's neck. He gently took a fistful of Scorpius's long, soft hair into his hand and maneuvered the blonde's head to make the kiss deeper.

Surprised by Albus's new fervor, Scorpius allowed him his way for a while, enjoying the movement of their lips together in a perfect rhythm. After a few minutes, however, he took control again and moved his hands from their position on Albus's waist to the wall behind Albus. He pushed Albus back so that he was pressed up against the wall, their bodies perfectly aligned.

Scorpius decided he wanted more, and pushed his tongue against Albus's now dark pink lips. Albus's eyes shot open in surprise, to find that he still couldn't see anything in the darkness. His pulse quickened and he closed his eyes again, relinquishing resistance and parting his lips. Scorpius pushed his tongue into Albus's mouth and began exploring it.

Albus was enjoying the feeling immensely. After a few moments of just enjoying the pleasure, he began copying Scorpius's movements inside his mouth. After a few more moments, the boys' tongues were battling for dominance. They made out for what could have been hours but felt like minutes.

Their breathing was becoming hard and uneven. Deciding he needed to breathe for a second, Scorpius pulled away slowly. Albus let his arms rest on Scorpius's shoulders, Scorpius leaning back to lean against the wall.

"Lumos". Scorpius's wand-tip ignited and cast light upon the boys. He saw that Albus's face was flushed and his lips darkened from extensive kissing.

The boys smiled at each other. Albus slunk to the floor, leaning on the wall. Scorpius followed suite and slunk down the opposite wall.

"We should get to the tower soon, before curfew" Scorpius commented lazily, after a few minutes of catching his breath.

"What time is it?" Albus enquired, ruffling his hair that was dampened slightly with perspiration. Scorpius cast a time spell. It was almost midnight. "Shit!" exclaimed Albus. Scorpius sniggered; he'd never heard Albus use profanity before.

"That was pretty intense, don't you think, Ally?" said Scorpius. Albus blushed.

"Not really, it just came out. . . There are worse swear words. . ." Albus trailed off sheepishly, trying to explain himself.

"Not that!" Scorpius laughed. "Us. Making out" Scorpius explained.

Albus blushed again. "No kidding. . ." his cheeks returned to their normal colour. "Hey, Scor? What. . . is. . . this?" he asked, not quite knowing how to phrase the question properly. But Scorpius always understood what he was trying to say.

"This is our new favourite pastime, my friend" Scorpius replied, grinning.

AN: What a messed up dynamic. I know I don't go around snogging my best friend. Anyways, 100 reviews, OMG!! haha. Thanks guys (or should I say ladies, since I'd be willing to wager that like 90% of the readers are female). Keep those reviews coming!!

Next Chapter: Undefined

It was Scorpius's turn to feel unexpectedly hurt. "You don't want to do this anymore?" he asked quietly.
