I am so pleased that you enjoyed last chapter, and my impression of the Malfoy family, I hope you all love them as much as I do. Anyways I would like to ask you all a question; how long do you think it will take before Rose and Scorpius confession their feelings for each other? Do you think they will do it all on their own or will be forced to? Tell me what you believe will happen. Leave me your guesses in the reviews, I am super interested to see what you all think. But in the meantime… enjoy!
Molly Weasley I thought of herself as a simple woman. She like simple things, and lived a simple life. This was probably the reason why the witch felt such joy from such a simple thing; a family dinner. The witch smiled from her spot in between her husband and eldest son as she looked around the table and watched everyone. The incredible lady had managed to get her entire family together one last time before the young ones went back to school the following day. All twenty seven members of the Weasley, Potter, Lupin clan had gathered on that Saturday, and the cheer and fun was in full force.
"I'd like to make a toast," James said loudly, grabbing everyone's attention as he stood from his chair with a glass in hand. "To my ever so lovely cousin," the dark haired man looked to Rose with his glasses slipping down his nose, a lopsided grin on his face. "Congrats, Rosie, I'm so proud of you, I always knew you were the smartest witch in all of history, cheers!" The table cheered and clapped loudly, clinking their drinks as they all congratulated Rose on a job well done.
A deep blushed formed on the girl's cheeks, as she had always hated being the center of attention. Mariah and Whitney handed Rose a picture then, a sweet drawing they had made when they found out the news. "Oh, thanks you, girls. It's wonderful," Rose said, causing the twins to giggle and smile at her. The Ravenclaw managed to keep all attention off of her for a long time… that was until young Molly spoke up.
Rose always had a very good relationship will all of her cousins, that was, except for Molly II. The witch had always envied Rose for many reasons; her popularity, her smarts, her beauty, her charming and sweet personality, and it killed Molly even more to know Rose didn't try for any of it. Molly had always been the center of attention, that was until her cousin came along six years later. The Ravenclaw never understood why her cousin disliked her so much, and even the adults had noticed it, but they all told her to ignore it.
So, though Rose was stunned when Molly spoke up, she wasn't truly surprised she would do such a wicked thing. The older witch with bright red hair had a smirk on her face as she raised her voice up high, and yelled to her cousin across the table. "So, Rose, rumor is you got yourself a boyfriend. Is it true, has little miss perfect finally found someone compatible for her?" Molly ignored her father when he scolded her for being rude, but it was far too late, the entire table had heard.
Rose, along with all the other seven who knew about her boyfriend, immediately froze. "That's ridiculous," Albus scoffed as he shoved another spoonful of food onto his plate. "Rosie doesn't have a boyfriend." Dread and fear quickly filled Rose's stomach, as she began to panic thinking about how she wasn't ready to tell her everyone.
"You're sure," Molly asked in a tantalizing voice, smirking as she had finally found a flaw in her dear cousin.
Albus quickly snapped, never having been too fond of his older cousin. "Of course I'm sure, if she had a boyfriend I'd know about it-" the wizard's words slowly cut off as he turned to look at Rose and saw her with an entirely too guilty look on her face. The whole table was quiet, all eyes on the younger couple who sat next to each other, as they always did. "What is she talking about, Rosie? Is she telling the truth?"
Rose kept her eyes glued to the table as she slowly nodded her head, shocking most everyone at the table. The girl felt like she was about to cry as a hard pain settled in her throat, feeling like she was displayed for the world to see. "What?!" The small girl flinched when Albus' loud voice shouted in anger, her tiny hands grabbing onto her dress under the table to keep from shaking. "Well who is it, then," Albus stared down at the person he considered his best friend, shocked she had hid something so big from him.
A few seats away, Teddy spoke up, telling her how it was alright, how she shouldn't be ashamed. Rose found the courage inside of her to look up, finding every pair of eyes glued to her face. She took a deep breath before speaking, "I'm dating Scorpius Malfoy." That was the moment the uproar started.
The entire large family began speaking all at once, each person reacting differently, but most were of appall and disgust. Rose felt her heart swell when Roxanne, along with Dominique and Lily, gave her a smile, showing her they were alright with it. The noise got louder and louder with every second, and soon the room was full of voices, only being stopped when Albus yelled over all. "This is a joke, right? Rosie, please tell me this is some sort of sick, twisted joke." Rose looked up to her standing cousin, and she slowly shook her head, a tear falling down her face as she watched him explode and flee from the room.
"Albus, wait," Rose shouted after him, only to hear the tell tale crack of disapparating. Tears now freely fell from the girl's face, and she openly sobbed as she stared at the spot her cousin had just disappeared to.
The upset which looked to her mean cousin, her cheeks wet as tears flowed down them. "Why," Rose asked in a hushed voice. "What have I ever done to you," the small girl asked desperately, and everyone's at the table felt their hearts break as the girl let out a sob when she quickly fled the room.
"Oh my, poor little dear," Molly said as she watched her granddaughter leave the room in a sobbing mess, Hermione rushing after her. Percy and Audrey turned to their grown daughter, and the witch frowned as she began getting reprimanded, not only by her parents but her entire family too.
Seconds later Rose and her mother arrived in their home, and Hermione followed her daughter as she ran up to her room. The small witch crawled into her bed, feeling thankful when her mother was by her side a second after, collecting her into an embrace. Rose openly sobbed into her mother's arms, until Hermione successfully managed to coo her to sleep.
The older witch stroked her sleeping daughter's hair as she dreamt away, unaware that miles away the entire Weasley family was listening to Ron and Hugo talked about how much they truly liked the Malfoy boy, convincing them that he was nothing like his family.
Rose was shocked the following morning when she found a stack of letters from her family, and she smiled as she read the supportive words and well wishes.
A loud whistle blew, and the train lurched forward, causing a certain clumsy witch to trip forward. A long arm reached out and grabbed her, pulling Rose to her feet before she managed to fall onto the floor. "Thanks, Hugh," the Ravenclaw said, blushing as her brother made sure she was settled on her feet. "You know," she said, her blue eyes looking to the closed compartment door, "perhaps it's best I just find somewhere else to sit this time. Give him some time to vent and let his anger simmer away."
Hugo looked down to his short sister, "you're sure, Rosie? I don't you alone the whole time." The four family members had boarded the train five minutes ago, and Albus had refused to speak to Rose as he glared and shoved past her, causing Lily to yell at him.
Her slightly curly hair bounced around her as she nodded, sighing when she looked one last time to the place she had sat the past eleven years, "I'm sure, it's only for the best. I'll see if I can go find Elliot and Robert. But just do me a favor and keep an eye on Al, make sure he doesn't do anything irrational."
"You mean go and beat the living hell out of Malfoy," Hugo supplied, causing Rose to glare at him, though he knew that was what she meant. "No problem, Rosie-Rue." The girl thanked him one last time before she walked away, feeling completely strange and out of sorts. Rose wandered for some time, not knowing where to go, and fifteen minutes later she jumped when someone called her name from behind.
A huge grin appeared on Rose's face when she spotted Scorpius just a few feet away from her. She immediately and made her way to him, standing on her tippy toes so she could peck him on the lips. Scorpius chuckled when a couple of fourth-years gasped as they passed by, looks of amazement on their faces. The blonde man leaned his head down and whispered, "I'll give it ten minute before this entire train knows about that little kiss."
Rose giggled and agreed, though sadness immediately set into her as thoughts of Albus came to her mind. The wizard had no trouble spotting the upset look on Rose's pretty face, and he grabbed her hand as he opened up the closest compartment to them, and shut the door when she was in. Scorpius sat on the seat, pulling Rose down so she was posed on his lap, her hands straightaway going to rest on his chest. "What's wrong," his voice was laced with concern, and his hand came up to stroke down the side of her soft face.
Her sweet breath blew across his face when she sighed, moving her fingers to play with the collar of his shirt. "My entire family found out about us last night," Rose revealed, surprising Scorpius. She shook her head when he asked her if it had gone badly. "Well, at first everyone was astounded and maybe a little upset, but they all gave me their blessings and told me that they trust my opinion. Aside from Albus… he completely freaked out. I don't know what hurt him more; the fact that I didn't tell him I was dating someone, or that fact that the someone is you."
She moved on to explain how her evil cousin was the one to throw her under the bus, and how Albus had moved onto utterly ignoring her. "I'm sorry, doll. If you want I could try talking to him-"
Scorpius bit back a laugh when Rose's eyes doubled in size. "No, no! I'm sure that would only upset him further. Right now I think giving him space is the best thing I can do, I know he'll come around eventually." The wizard nodded, releasing his hold on her as Rose stood up.
Grey eyes watched her as she moved to stand in front of the window, seeing the land whip past them in a blur. After a moment Scorpius too stood, moving so his chest pressed against her back as one of his strong arms went to wrap around her waist. His other hand moved up and brushed her long hair from her shoulder, and Rose gasped loudly when she felt his hot lips against her neck. "Mm," her lips vibrated as her tongue came out and wet them, her hands moving up to grasp at his arm around her middle.
Scorpius smirked as Rose's head lolled to the side, exposing more skin for him to kiss. A cry escaped Rose when he gently bit down and sucked near her pulse, his tongue coming out to calm the skin that would soon be bruised. Heat filled Rose and she felt as if her skin was on fire, with Scorpius' touch as the only thing that could take the burn away. The pit of her stomach dropped when he licked from the bottom of her neck to the top, and Rose squeezed her thighs together when she felt a wetness seep onto her knickers.
Turning in his arms, the aroused witch attacked Scorpius this time, her hands moving behind his neck to pull his lips down to her. They kissed deeply and passionately, one of his hands tangled in her hair, as the other stroked from the top of her shoulder to the bottom of her pert bum. Rose groaned when she felt herself only grow more heated, as the spot between her thighs began to pulse with the need to be soothed.
The short girl pressed herself flush against Scorpius, slightly pressing her breasts against his chest in the hope of release. Rose pushed one of her hands between their bodies, her fingers moving to grab one of Scorpius' belt loops and pull him forward. Though, because they had such a large height difference, the front of his pants pressed against her stomach and not where she wanted it to.
Scorpius wizard gasped as her lips left his, and she kissed her way down his face and neck, stopping to kiss and suck when she got to just above his collar bone. A groan escaped Scorpius when he felt her pay certain attention to his throat, and at the same moment a cry of frustration left Rose. When the witch pressed her legs together and started rubbing them, Scorpius knew she needed friction, and though he desperately wanted to give it to her, he also didn't want to scare her.
Their lips met again, and they kissed each other roughly and fervently. Rose pulled back as frustration filled her, and she mumbled against Scorpius' lips, "more." Scorpius moved so his forehead rested against hers, as their breaths blew in each other's face. "Scorpius, I need more," Rose whined.
Scorpius nodded, feeling the same way she did. "I know, baby," Rose felt more heat pool between her legs when she heard him whisper the pet name. "I know what you need, and I'll give it to you soon, I promise. Just not here, not now." The witch nodded against him, knowing their location would be a completely foolish place to do anything.
The wizard moved back to his seat, pulling Rose so she sat next to him with her legs splayed across his lap, her head on his shoulder. The two of them spoke quietly to each other the rest of the journey, and soon enough they arrived at the glowing castle.
Just when they were about to leave their compartment Rose looked to the ground shyly, grabbing Scorpius' hand. "Do you think you could stay with me during dinner? I'm sure everyone has heard a rumor by now, and I don't want to face all the questions alone." The blonde man took a step towards his witch, nodding as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Of course, but don't worry, little one. Everything will be fine, people will be surprised but they'll get over themselves. And if they don't, I'll be right by your side to curse their sorry arse. Alright?" Rose smiled at Scorpius, wondering how he constantly knew the perfect thing to say. The small girl clutched one of his large pale hands in both of her tiny ones, biting into her lip as they left.
Not a single person was able to hold back from starting when they saw a Weasley and Malfoy walking side by side, their hands clasped together. Rose had a very difficult time ignoring all of the strange looks they received, feeling like a bug under a telescope when people began whispering as they passed by. But all of her insecurities melted away when Scorpius squeezed her hand and gave her an encouraging smile.
They couple grabbed an empty carriage to the castle, and they weren't surprised when no one dared get into it with them. The witch sighed, happy to be temporarily away from everyone as she leaned in close to her boyfriend. Scorpius leaned down and kissed the top of her head, "you're doing phenomenally."
When the carriage arrived at the castle Scorpius got out first, helping Rose out and wrapping his arm around her slim waist as they made their way down the path to the castle. Rose felt her heart skip a beat when a flurry past her, looking up to see Albus rushing forward with a scowl on his face. "It'll be alright," Scorpius mumbled to her, hating to see the look of despair on her pretty face.
"Oi!" someone shouted loudly when the couple was almost to the front steps of the castle. Turning back they spotted Luciano and Zoee with large smirks on their faces, as they rushed up to meet them. "Finally letting everyone know about you two," asked Zoee as she parted from Luciano to stand by Rose's side. The tall girl smiled when the Ravenclaw nodded, "good for you, you both deserve it."
Rose smiled at the friendly girl, taken aback when she linked their arms together and winked at her. Zoee quickly noticed all the staring, and she glared at all the people giving dirty looks as she reassured Rose, "don't worry about everyone. They'll find something more interesting to fawn over in a couple of days, they are all just bored little twits."
The four of them made their way into the castle, entering the Great Hall for the traditional feast, Zoee and Luciano smiling at Rose as they left. The couple managed to stun even the professors as they walked in, though they were a bit more tactful about the staring. Scorpius hugged his witch to him as they walked through the hall, all eyes on them as heavy whispers followed. Rose smiled at Scorpius when he walked with her to the Ravenclaw table, instead of going to his own, sitting himself on the bench next to her.
Robert and Elliot were slightly surprised when the Slytherin sat himself next to their mate, though they were friendly as Rose introduce them to Scorpius. The blonde wizard chatted merrily with the two Ravenclaws, and the three of them found out they got along rather well, much to Rose's approval. Dinner passed painfully slow for the little witch, and Scorpius rubbed his hand against hers every time she looked glum. Once through the meal Rose caught eyes with her brother, and smiled back at Hugo when he gave her a shy grin and a thumbs up.
And though Rose felt incredibly uncomfortable with all the attention she had, she couldn't help but smile as she thought of how she could now be free with Scorpius.
