Ch 17
After first years were placed into houses and when everyone was full, they headed to dormitories for good night sleep to be able to face next day full of classes. Rose and Scorpius waited for Headmaster to guided them where they will be sleeping. It was no secret that Heads had their own extra common room and separate rooms as a privilege. It was located at the back of prefects common room. Heads could choose if they want to sleep were they used to or to have peace and quiet. Rose was more than happy that she was going to have her own room. She could even say it finally happened. She always feel like a Gryffindor, but after being raised in such huge family she wanted a break. A peaceful morning was all she asked for. Scorpius on the other hand, tried to adjust to Hogwarts crowd but living in Malfoy Manor was like living in solitary in cave. The castle was enormous but Slytherin dungeons were not.
They entered their new common room.
"Damn it" Scorpius said.
"What?" Rose asked while admiring selfeves filled with books and slowly taking tour around several armchairs and couches.
"I was starting to enjoying living alone, but then…"
Rose cut in: "You remembered that you are not going to live absolutely alone"
"You like interrupting when I speak, don't you" at that comment she only shrugged. Then she yawned loudly. "Tomorrow, we will set up rules. Now, I want to go sleep"
Scorpius only nodded and headed to his room and he almost forgot to say: "Good night, asshead"
"Night, arsehole" she replied and she closed doors, while stretching, after her.
Rose woke up early. She wanted to have her morning tea in peace. Singing soft melody she wait for water to boil. She chose armchair and settled herself comfortable. She know that Malfoy would came out of his room eventually but she thought that if they were going to spend this year in such small area he should get used to seeing her in her pyjamas. Why should she hide her morning glory?
She poured herself a cup of tea and took first sip when door to bathroom opened. Immediately she caught and spat the liquid everywhere around her. Scorpius was standing wearing only towel on his hips, clearly he'd just got out of the shower. She opened and closed her mouth several times trying to find appropriate words but nothing came out. She eyed him up and down. She was studying his body automatically. She was there when they were working out for quidditch and it left a nice bonus. When she reached his face she found him smirking.
"Enjoying the view?" he questioned and moved his body into better position.
She then did something that make him put on cheshire grin and show all of his teeth. She unconsciously licked her lips. After second she came to realisation what that meant in his perspective. She covered her mouth with her hand.
"I understand that after admitting that I am handsome, you don't mind me walking around like that"
Rose after first shock found her voice: "Put on robes! Now!" she shouted, took closest cushion and throw it at him.
"Easy, sweetheart. I didn't planed it. I thought you would still be sleeping. But you could just watch. It's for free" the smirk still didn't leaved his face.
"oh, no, no. Let's start creating basic rules: number one- we wear clothes on" she pointed his finger at him.
"If you insist. But admit it, you like what you saw. Zero-one for me" he said and closed doors when second cushion hit the wood closing after him.
Rose put back her cup ferociously, and she managed to break it.
