Seventh Year-November 17th 7:45pm, Head's Suite

It had been several weeks into the new term and Scorpius and Rose were learning to live with each other. They had worked out a bathroom signal, they had figured out each other's pet peeves, and they made strategies to work around it. For instance, Rose hated that Scorpius would leave his filthy Quidditch gear in the middle of the common area, and Scorpius hated that Rose would whine about it. So they agreed to leave all quidditch stuff in the tunnel foyer by the entrance. Scorpius hated that Rose would leave the library disorganized after one of her crazed study sessions, so they figured out an organization system they could both deal with. By the mid fall, they were pretty much coasting. The best part was that they were so busy with duties, NEWTS, and Quidditch that they barely had time to be left alone long enough to get into 'trouble.' Their relationship had gone back to normal, best enemies.

That is, until mid November.

Rose had come in from a particularly slimy quidditch practice, where she had almost been struck by lightening twice. She sloshed into the foyer, took off her equipment kicked off her boots, and dragged herself, exhausted, into the common area. She looked forward to this weekend. She was ahead on her work, the schedule dictated no rounds, for the first time since she got back to Hogwarts, she could relax. Her plan: Do absolutely nothing. Hang out in the common area with a nice big fire and a blanket, finish that ridiculous Twilight book, and DO NOTHING. She headed up to the bathroom, no one there, took a long hot shower, and changed into pajama shorts and a tank. She grabbed the throw blanket off her bed that gram had made her and headed down to the common room. Unfortunately, Scorpius had arrived and he brought his latest bimbo. Chadra or Chandy or …something. She sighed hard.

Scorpius looked up the staircase and noticed Weasley coming down the stairs. All he could see was long legs.

He coughed. "Sorry Weasley, I need the common tonight."

Rose sighed angrily. "Bugger off Malfoy, you know the rules, you have to give notice if you're bringing a guest."

"Gods Weasley, don't be such a prat! It's just this one time!" Malfoy replied.

"Oh, this one time?" Rose said, looking at Chandra…Chandy…whatever. "You hear that? Looks like you're a one off, sorry."

"WHAT is your problem?" Scorpius said, flying off the couch.

"YOU'RE my problem! This is the ONE weekend I have. If you want to be a pervert DO IT IN YOUR ROOM!" Rose said, jutting her hip out and crossing her arms defiantly.

Scorpius had one rule. Never let a bird in your bed. 1) They'll try to sleep there. 2) Those sheets are WAY too expensive to have someone else's stink on them. "Weasley! Can you just be cool THIS ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE?"

Rose cocked her head to the side. "No."

Suddenly, Scorpius's date was walking towards the door. Scorpius grabbed her arm, "Where you going, love?"

"Um…not tonight Scorpy." She said, throwing a nervous glance at the head girl, who also happened to be a Weasley. She bolted.

Scorpius let out a long, low groan. Rose plopped down on the couch and dragged her throw over her legs.

Scorpius turned and looked at her. She seemed uninterested in his predicament. "Ok, Weasley. JUST because no one is lining up to plug you, DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO SCREW EVERYONE OVER."

Rose chuckled. "Well, it looks like no one is screwing ANYONE tonight."

Scorpius dragged his hands down his face. He hadn't shagged in months. Then, just when he felt like his old self again, this SHE BEAST had to show up and muck it all up. "Ok…tell me Weasley, why are you such a frigid bitch?"

"Excuse me?" Rose started, putting down her book and slowly standing.

Scorpius started walking slowly. "Why. Are. You. SUCH A FRIGID BITCH!?"

"You watch your mouth, you walking bag of Chlamydia."

Scorpius was bristling. "Oh…I apologize. What I meant to say was, why are you such a COLOSSAL FRIGID BITCH?!"

Rose laughed. "Gods Malfoy, you are such a fucking child! If you can't bust your nut, YOU THROW A TANTRUM!"

He walked up to her and pressed himself against her. Rose gasped as she felt his hardness. "SOMEONE is going to take care of this tonight."

Rose spluttered and pushed him away from her. "Then I suggest you go find the little skank." She sat back on the couch, grabbing her book.

"Oh fuck you Rose." Scorpius said, giving up and plopping down on the couch next to her, laying his head against the back of it.

"Well see. That, right there, is exactly your problem Malfoy. You can't fuck me." Rose replied, smirking as she opened her book.

"Gods, I don't want to shag you, you harpy." Scorpius muttered.

"Could've fooled me." Rose muttered.

Scorpius sat up, which was a bit painful with the blue balls he was developing. "WHAT?"

Rose closed her book and looked at Malfoy like he was a child. She arched an eyebrow, throwing part of the blanket she was using over him to cover his erection. "Fine, I know you would rather we pretend it never happened, because you are a blistering child, but I'm just gonna put it out there: You tried to kiss me in my room last summer." Rose cocked her head to the side as if daring him to deny it.

Scorpius's eyes widened, he spluttered.

"And before you try to deny it, I KNOW you had a raging erection as well." Rose said, quite matter of factly.

"Hormones." Scorpius muttered.

"Be that as it may, that doesn't mean you didn't want me. You WANT me, Malfoy." Rose said, turning back to her book with a smug grin.

Scorpius was shaking. "YOU WANTED ME TO KISS YOU! YOU DIDN'T TRY TO STOP ME! YOUR PSYCHO FATHER STOPPED US!" Scorpius was almost screaming now.

"Immaterial." Rose said, staring down at her book.

"Bullocks!" Scorpius replied. "Don't try to make me look like I've been pining over you!"

Rose looked him dead in the eye. "Vivian Vane said that she tried to hook up with you, the first day back and you couldn't get it up. Word is, you haven't tried to shag anyone IN AGES."

Scorpius was shaking. "VIVAN'S A COW! I'VE GOT IT UP RIGHT NOW DON'T I?!

Rose smirked. "Exactly. This whole time we've been arguing, you maintained a full erection." Rose inched her face closer to his. "You WANT me."

Scorpius got up from the couch, trying to figure out something really spiteful to say, when Rose pointed her finger at his now throbbing erection and said mockingly, "See?"

Scorpius stomped out of the room, going upstairs and slamming the door, and from down below Rose heard him yell "FUCK!" at the top of his lungs and smiled.
