Chapter 15- Proving it
*Note the M rating!*
Ruby picked up her wand and ran to Mrs Malfoy's room, Scorpius met her at the doorway, looking frantic.
"Where's Kyle?" He asked as they entered the room.
"On break, run and get him I'll start the spell." Ruby lifted her wand but before she could utter the spell Lucius Malfoy had disarmed her.
"NO WAY AM I LETTING A WEASLEY NEAR HER!" He roared. Scorpius looked horrified and picked up Ruby's wand.
"For Merlin's sake, if Ruby doesn't do the spell she'll die!"
"You do it then?" Lucius said, looking at his grandson.
"I can't I haven't got the power yet, Ruby can do it."
"Mr Malfoy if I don't do the spell she will die," Ruby said firmly, holding out her hand for her wand.
"And tell your horrible little family how you killed a Malfoy I bet!"
"FOR FUCK'S SAKE FATHER, MOM SAVED ELIZA POTTER'S LIFE, HER DAUGHTER ISN'T LIKELY TO KILL HER!"
Lucius looked angry but didn't reply so Scorpius passed Ruby her wand back and she started the spell, the red beam of light hit Mrs Malfoy in the chest and Ruby focussed all her energy on the spell, hoping it would have a different outcome than last time.
"Where's Kyle, Ruby?" Scorpius asked.
"I think he went to the canteen, he also mentioned the Potion department though." Scorpius left the room and Ruby was alone in a room of Malfoys, one of which would clearly love to kill her, the other one was being kept alive by Ruby's magic and the final one was an unknown entity.
"If she dies…"
"Shut up, father!"
There was silence in the room, except for the alarm which was as loud and unpleasant as ever. It seemed like forever until she heard the sounds of hurried footsteps and Scorpius and Kyle entered the room.
"How long?" Kyle asked, looking at Ruby.
"Twenty minutes, sir." Ruby replied, looking at the clock on the wall.
"Healer, I demand you take over the spell!" Lucius shouted, looking at Kyle and then Ruby.
"No, it is too dangerous now and Miss Weasley is more than capable of doing the spell." After another tense few minutes Ruby felt her wand flick up and the spell was broken as Mrs Malfoy started breathing again. Ruby tumbled backwards and would have fallen if Scorpius's father hadn't caught her.
"Umm…" He began, looking very unsure. Scorpius came to help her up, explaining the situation to his father, and Kyle moved over to Mrs Malfoy and started performing spells.
"I'll take her back to the office, sir." Scorpius said and he pulled Ruby to her feet, keeping a steady grip of her waist.
"Yes, take an hour or two Weasley, good work."
"Thank you, sir." She said quietly as they walked towards the door.
"Thank you, Miss Weasley." Scorpius's father said as he got back to his feet and moved towards his mother.
"You're welcome, Mr Malfoy." Ruby replied as they walked out of the room. They did not say a word until they reached the office. Scorpius moved Ruby over to the bed and eased her down onto it.
"Alright?" He asked, as she lay back and he helped to lift her feet onto the bed and held on to her hand tightly.
"Yeah, not as bad as last time, wasn't as long. Better outcome."
"That's for sure, thanks Ruby." He said softly, sitting on the bed beside her.
"Don't mention it." She replied, closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
She woke an hour and a half later and sat up, stretching out her arms and legs and then moved over to the kettle.
Kyle was not in his office so Ruby made herself a drink and then sat at her desk and started filling in paperwork.
When she finished she placed the papers on Kyle's desk and was just moving back to her desk when Kyle and Scorpius walked in.
"How's Mrs Malfoy?" She asked.
"Ah you're awake, excellent, I've transferred her to a ward she should be fine but we've put her in an induced coma for a few days. You can go now Ruby, good work today, I hope that don't see you tomorrow but I probably will." Kyle said, disappearing into his office.
"Thanks, sir." She said, glancing at her watch; it was half five. She picked up her bag, pulled off her robes, and was about to say goodbye to Scorpius when he spoke first.
"Can I buy you dinner? As a thank you." He said, blushing slightly.
"Oh… I would but I'm eating later." Ruby thought it would be insensitive to say that she was eating at her grandparents.
"Tea then? Cocoa? There's a muggle coffee shop around the corner."
"Sure but… don't you need to be here?"
"Induced coma mean anything to you, Weasley? My dad and grandfather have gone back to the Manor but I have no desire to join them yet. After what my grandfather said to you I can imagine it's going to be a delightful Christmas." He said, smirking slightly.
"Okay, sure."
He let her walk out of the office first and they walked through the empty waiting room and out onto the street, there was a Starbucks a couple of shops away but as they arrived it closed.
"Just my bloody luck." Scorpius muttered as the staff member locked up the door.
"We could go to my flat?" Ruby said, making a quick decision, "Alice is at her parents and I've got tea and hot chocolate."
"Yeah okay, doesn't really count as me treating you, though."
"I can store that favour for a future date… I mean time." She said, blushing.
"Leave it at date, Weasley, I like the sound of that. Is it far or should we apparate?" He said, smiling.
"It's not too far but it's bloody freezing, I'll side-long you." Scorpius took her arm and she felt her heart quicken instantly, this was ridiculous! How could him taking her arm, through her coat elicit such a reaction from her, she wasn't a fifteen year old girl, she wasn't Annabel! She turned and disapparated. They arrived, to her horror, in her bedroom. Scorpius laughed as she dragged him into the living room.
"I was a few feet off, shut up!" She said, pointing her wand at the kettle and moving to open the cupboards.
"Depends on what you were hoping…"
"Tea or hot chocolate?" She asked, blushing.
"Do you have marshmallows?" He asked, looking suddenly quite serious.
"What are you, ten?" She asked, looking through the cupboards.
"What's wrong with marshmallows? Okay, I give you the fact that most of them are pink but you can't have Cocoa without them!"
"Cocoa? Seriously… found some, they're Alice's but I don't think she'll mind. 'Cocoa' then?"
"Yes please" He replied, pulling off his coat and looking around at the flat with apparent interest.
"You can sit down if you want." She said, spooning the powder into the mugs. Scorpius sat down on the sofa and pointed his wand at the fireplace causing it so spring into life.
"Nice place, been here long?"
"Just since September, you looking forward to moving out?"
"Yeah, it's not that bad though, my parents are usually away on business or working."
"You don't live at the Manor then?" She asked.
"Not a bloody chance! As you saw my grandfather is truly delightful. We live in a townhouse in Bath, my dad brought it after the war. Where's home for you?"
"North Wales, my dad brought it for my mom during the war, they've had to add rooms over the years but it's a great place, amazing views and a good place to run."
"You run? Wondered how you kept in such great shape considering you don't place Quidditch." Ruby kept her back to him an ignored the compliment about her shape.
"Do you still play Quidditch then?" She asked as she brought the drinks over.
"Thanks, yeah just Sunday league with Hamish, Potter comes occasionally."
"Oh yeah, Al mentioned it a few times, somewhere in Worcestershire?"
"Yeah that's the place, just for fun but it keeps me fit." He said as he took a sip of his drink. Ruby couldn't help but let her eyes drift over his physique; he was in good shape. Thankfully he didn't appear to notice.
"Can't believe what happened to grandmamma." He said, putting his drink back on the table and sitting back with a sigh.
"I'm sorry Scorpius, she's lucky though, it could have been worse."
"I know, I told her to lay off rich food but she wouldn't listen, always knows best."
"She's proud of you, you know? She told me when she came round."
"Really?"
"Yeah, she said you were a good boy." Ruby said, looking at his face.
"Could have been the potions."
"True, but maybe it wasn't." She said, taking a sip of her own drink.
"So you having a big family Christmas?" He asked.
"Yeah, all meeting up at the Burrow. It's always bloody mental! I bet I'll get called in just before pudding."
"Sweet tooth?" He asked, picking up one of the marshmallows and sucking on it seductively, her eyes dropped to his lips and he licked them with a cheeky smile.
"I like waffles." She said before secretly cursing herself, 'I like waffles' what the hell is wrong with me? She thought, looking back at her own drink.
"Waffles, eh?"
"Yeah, with chocolate sauce and cinnamon, it's been my favourite since I was about two so grandma always makes sure there's some there."
"I'll keep it in mind for our date." He said. Ruby looked back at him; he looked a bit nervous.
"Scorpius… what are we doing?" She asked, sighing and leaning back on the sofa. He put his arm around her.
"Drinking cocoa." He said, taking a slurp of his own drink and then looking down at her with his grey-blue eyes.
"You know what I mean, hasn't today given you an inkling about how our families feel about…"
"Don't listen to a word that old bastard says, I mean it Ruby!" He said, looking quite angry all of a sudden.
"But… I don't know if this…" she indicated between herself and Scorpius, "is…"
"Is what? Is worth trying? I thought you were a Gryffindor."
"I am a Gryffindor!" She said defensively. He moved suddenly so that his lips were an inch from hers and then stopped.
"Prove it." He whispered, stroking her cheek and locking eyes with her, she closed the distance and they were kissing again, this time there was no one to interrupt them.
She pulled away and he moved to kiss her neck.
"How do I know I can trust you?" She asked, after all with Henry she hadn't exactly been on the ball, Scorpius stopped and looked at her again.
"You don't, but if you're that unsure Ruby ask Potter, I'm not like… James who wanted to bed every house before he graduated, there was Lauren and that was it, I'm not a player Rubes." Hearing him use her nickname again made her kiss him and his tongue ran along her bottom lip causing her to groan and open her mouth, their tongues battled for domination and her hand found itself in his thick blond hair.
He moaned and moved to kiss her neck and sucked gently on her pulse point, his hand drifted up and skimmed the bottom of her T-shirt, she shivered at his touch. His hand dipped underneath the fabric and moved up to grace her breast.
"You're so beautiful, Ruby." He said softly, she saw the truth in his eyes and she smiled. He moved so that she was lying underneath him, she could feel him pressing into her thigh and he groaned as her hand snaked around him and pulled his bum, increasing the tension.
His hand wound around her back and she lifted slightly so that he could un-do her bra, the fabric loosened and he lifted up her T-shirt and took her hardened nipple into his mouth and sucked, hard.
"Scorpius…" She gasped and he ground into her harder, moving his pelvis up so that when he moved his shaft graced her centre, they both moaned loudly.
"Please Rubes…" He whispered, moving his head and kissing her lips again, pulling on her bottom lip.
"What do you want, Scorpius?" She asked, grinning.
"You, all of you." He said, his left hand moving down and brushing against the front of her jeans, she closed her eyes quickly and his hand drifted back, hovering and caressing her through the denim.
"Tell me Rubes, what do you want?" He whispered, removing his hand making her mourn the loss and then breathing the words into her ear.
"You Scorpius, I want you, now." She said, kissing his neck.
"Thank fuck." He cursed, he sat up, straddling her and removed his light jumper.
Ruby grabbed her wand and cast the contraceptive and protection charms and Scorpius leaned forwards again and removed her T-shirt and helped her out of her bra, he looked at her hungrily and then leaned down to kiss her again.
Her hand were on his chest and he moaned at her touch and he gasped slightly as her hands drifted down to his jeans and she glided her hand over the waistband.
"Perhaps we should move to the bedroom." She said and he nodded and stood up, she picked up her clothes and took a steadying breath as they walked into her room. She closed the door behind her and then he was on her again, pushing her up against the bedroom door and kissing her fiercely.
She wrapped her legs around his waist and he carried her over to the double bed and lowered her onto it before undoing his jeans and kicking them off leaving just his boxers, which barely concealed his erection. He climbed onto her and kissed her again, his right hand supporting him and his left hand squeezing her breast, she groaned and he moved his mouth to her right breast and his hand moved down to her jeans, he undid the button as his teeth grazed her nipple.
Her slid down the zip and moved to slip the jeans off her.
"Fuck…" He muttered as he saw her green-lacy underwear, he kissed his way back up from her feet and when he reached her thighs he looked up at her grinning.
"Very Slytherin." He said, touching the underwear lightly.
"My bra was red." She breathed, gasping as his finger dipped under the fabric and drew small circles on her hip.
"Green suits you better." He said, "But I think it will look better on the floor." He said, sliding the fabric down painfully slowly, her centre was aching to be touched and she knew that he was aware.
This time he moved back up quickly and Ruby almost laughed but then he passed her centre and kissed her on the mouth again. Her right hand moved to his back and she pulled him closer, her nails almost leaving marks on his pale skin. Her left hand drifted down to his boxers.
"Chudley Cannons, really, Scorpius?" She asked, grinning at the orange boxers, he smiled into her mouth and was clearly about to retort when she spoke.
"Now, I'm a Cannon's fan but don't you think these would be better with my underwear?"
"Green and Orange do have a certain appeal." He replied but before she could remove them he moved back down to her waist, smiling, "But I want you to be completely ready for me." He said, Ruby smiled and quirked an eyebrow.
"And you don't think I am?" She asked, he laughed.
"Let's see shall we?" He asked and before she could reply he ran his finger through her wet folds and she gasped. Her legs parted without her being aware of it and then his mouth was on her. She grabbed the bed sheets with one fist as his tongue entered her, thrusting in and out.
"Oh…" She gasped, he moved up and sucked on her centre as his finger entered her, deeper than his tongue could penetrate, he sucked and within minutes her walls were clamping around his fingers and she screamed his name as she came. He moved back up her as her heart relaxed slightly.
"So," she breathed, he was sucking on her neck again, "do you think I'm ready now?" She asked.
"I'd say so." He went to stand up but she caught him and flipped so that she was straddling him.
"I think as you took mine off, it's only fair if I take yours off." She said and his eyes widened in apparent pleasure.
"Very fair of you, sure you're not a Hufflepuff?" He asked, she didn't reply, instead moving down his body and pulling down his orange boxers, he kicked them off his feet and she moved back up to his face, kissing him. He groaned into her and she gripped onto his manhood, he was big, she moved away from his mouth and down to his erection.
"What do you want, Scorpius?" She asked, licking her lips and blowing lightly onto his dripping head.
"Fuck, Rubes, please…" He begged, closing his eyes. She smiled and blew again. He opened his mouth to beg again but she moved forwards and took him in her mouth and instead of begging her he moaned her name. She teased him with her tongue and then tickled his balls with her fingers.
Suddenly he moved her off him and flipped her around so that he was lying on her. He kissed her again and thrust his tongue into her mouth, she opened her legs and he shuffled position so that he was lying in between then, his penis leaving a wet trail on her stomach.
"Now, Scorpius, now!" She begged, he nodded and used his hand to guide himself into her.
"Merlin, fuck that's…" Scorpius breathed as Ruby cried out in satisfaction. He began to thrust into her and it was amazing, he kissed her and moved his tongue in rhythm with the rest of him, the movements sped up and then he spilled into her and they both collapsed, side by side, completely sated.
"That was…" Ruby tried to catch her breath and think of a suitable superlative because she had never experienced anything like that. She had only been with two guys, Henry and a boy in her final year at Hogwarts, but neither of them had been anything like Scorpius.
"Incredible," Scorpius said, panting heavily and Ruby nodded.
They lay in silence for a few minutes before Ruby turned to look at her alarm clock; it was seven.
"Fuck!" She exclaimed, sitting up quickly.
"What?" Scorpius asked, looking concerned.
"It's seven, I'm supposed to be at the Burrow like, now!" She opened her wardrobe and started looking for a suitable outfit when Scorpius moved and stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her.
"You should probably have a shower." He breathed, kissing her neck, she was about to say that she didn't have time when she felt a twitch towards her lower back, she smiled and turned around.
"Seriously?" She asked, looking down at him; he was already rising again.
"What can I say?" He said, kissing her.
"I guess I could send a patronus, tell them I've been held up?" She said.
"Good idea, trainee Healer Weasley, tell them you're recharging after a hard day saving people's lives."
"Recharging, I think that's you not me, Malfoy" She grinned, looking down between their bodies. She went into the living room and picked up her wand and cast a Patronus; a Red Squirrel, to let them know that she would be half an hour and then walked back into the bedroom where Scorpius was waiting, she pointed her wand towards the shower in her bathroom and he walked towards her, grinning.
A/N So things are finally moving between our two lovebirds, any thoughts?
