13. Spicy as Firewhiskey (part 2)

I wondered what my father would have had said if he found out that I had just saved Scorpius Malfoy from being hexed. Don't look at me like that. I didn't regret it, I just wondered what my fathers reaction would be. I would never regret that I stood up for the only one who thought that I was good, the only one who saw the one person I wanted to be. I didn't really talk about Scorpius at home but Lily Luna Potter seemed to talk about everything to her mother, Ginny Weasley, who talked to both my father and mother daily. So even if I didn't say anything to my parent they already knew everything that was going on in my life. It was a bit annoying. The fact that he knew that Scorpius was interested in me. The way he thought that he already knew Scorpius just because he wasn't on good terms with his father.

It sucked, if I was allowed to be honest. The Malfoy my father painted up before me wasn't the one I knew. It was so I understood that people aren't their parents. You could never compare a child to his or her parents. Of course the DNA reminded of each other but it was the individual you had to look at. It was in that moment I also understood that my mothers brains wasn't mine and my fathers Quidditch playing wasn't mine either. I had to build up my talent on my own and that talent was mine only.

"Rose!" I turned around. Hadn't my exit line been good enough for him? I sighed. I was just a few steps from the great hall and I knew that a warm meal waited for me there. The Quidditch training had really burned out my energy and the incident with the Hufflepuff were using my spare. Scorpius took a few step towards me. He looked at handsome as ever. He was so tall and well build even if he had just started playing Quidditch. The garment fit him perfectly and you could almost see the muscles that was hiding under that Slytherin uniform. The blonde hair were wild and shined with a silver glow when the sun from the windows hit it. The kind grey-green eyes looked at me with a determination he rarely showed. How could a human-being be so beautiful? Humans were the worst thing that happened to the earth.

"I... I really need to know." Really needed to know what exactly? My eyes studied him. I have heard the tales of Harry Potter, my mom and for as long as I can remember. Especially that one with them saving Scorpius father from the Room of Requirement, when someone lit it on fire. I had come to another conclusion while hearing them. My father didn't want to save Scorpius father. He had only thought that a man with bad actions could only be bad. That was the evidence that humans were evil, even the good ones who were observed as heroes. Humans only thought about their own gains.

"Know what?" I couldn't help but smile a bit to him. This boy... no... I meant man. Scorpius was a boy before but now? He attracted attention everywhere he went. He stood by his opinions and he fought for what he thought was right. Only a man did that. He fighting something right now, what was I soon about to find out. He opened his lips.

"What do you think of me?" I were about to drop my broom I held in my hand but he didn't seem to notice it. He looked straight into my eyes. I couldn't look away. I was stuck. He... asked me about what I thought about him? It was easier ask then to say.
"You're..." What would I say? I tried to stay calm but the only thing that was calm was my face. I were panicking inside. Did he really want to know what I really thought? Could I say that I admired his ambitions and that he was the kindest man I had ever met? Could I say that I had found him childish but then realized that the only this that was childish was the way I didn't accept that about him?

"Nice." Wow, 10 points to Gryffindor for the lamest answer in the history. Wasn't Gryffidors supposed to be brave and say exactly what they thought without thinking about the consequences?
"Nice? You serious?" I weren't sure that was the word to say. Okay, it wasn't the word to say but it was the only word that came to mind. No... I wasn't honest. It wasn't the only word that came to mind but it was the only word I could say, to describe him out loud was a step I hadn't taken yet. I hadn't started to know what he really meant for me.

"Yes?" My voice became a bit weaker. Scorpius looked around a bit, annoyed that everyone was watching us, but didn't really care enough to stop this interrogation. He thought that this answer was worth getting humiliated for. For a man who had never wanted attention this was a great step. I was wrong again. He wasn't humiliated, he was adored for being brave to ask. He was adored for defying the taboo of two persons from Gryffindor and Slytherin to interact.
"You're not very honest." He found confidence in my weakness. He knew he could play on that or had to play on that. If I hadn't been tired and hungry he wouldn't had this opportunity. The Scorpius from a few years ago wouldn't had said anything like this. He wouldn't even had understood that this was an opportunity but stumbled in like a fool in middle of a class and tried to confess. This Scorpius was smarter but still the same as always with his lines. The thing was however... he was my favorite weakness. He looked at me and was just about to say something but then he lost his words.

"Please say something... anything." He talked like he was in despair. My heart stopped beating for a short while. I couldn't stand his despair. He wasn't worth it. Was this the feeling he had every time I tried to walk around the questions? It had to be the way he looked at me because my brain almost exploded for thinking to much. I let go of everything only to let him have enough to let go of that despair.

"I think you are the kindest person I have ever met! I don't understand how you can be so nice to everyone, people who don't even done anything to you! People who have been mean to you behind your back... you treat them like it wasn't their fault! You never hurt anyone. You are always honest and so naive. You just... pure! I like that about you. I like you!" Everyone in the hall gasped for air. I was almost out of breath, breathing loudly. Shit. Shit. Shit. What had I just said?! My face couldn't hide my feelings now. My face turned red like a tomato and I hurried to walk towards the great hall. He couldn't.. I couldn't let him say anything more. I had to escape now ore it would be to late. The students that had gathered around us were like a barrier but I pushed myself though. I would say something even more embarrassing if I stopped.

"You do?" I got to the door to the great hall. Before I walked inside I looked back at Scorpius. I shouldn't had done that but I was just used to have the last word. I wanted to see what his reaction was, even if I wanted to hide my own. I hadn't the time to say anything. I was so surprised. He had hurried after me, his cheeks were slightly pink. I had never understood how his skin could be so pale. His eyes were glowing with an overwhelming warm feeling. I was in trance. He reached for my hand, pulled me towards him and then with a hand on the back of my neck he made our lips met.

Scorpius was kissing me and Merlin should know that I kissed him back. His lips were so soft and kissed me so passionate that I felt like I was about to drown. My knees got weak and he was the only thing that held me up, him and my desire to kiss him. I didn't know I had this in me, that I wanted this at least as much as he did. He held me closer with his big arms. My chest were pused against his. I hadn't felt anything like it before. To be this close was intoxicating. His perfume drove me almost insane. Why hadn't I done this before? Why had I been so stubborn? Why hadn't I understood that this was what I wanted all along? He tasted like lemon cheesecake, my favorite.

The time stood still as he kissed me, over and over. His tongue were slowly inviting itself into my mouth. It was an exceptional feeling. It was exciting. My body started to shiver without me knowing it. I held a tight grip around him. It felt so good.. it felt too good. I had to push him back a little to let myself breathe but as soon as I let him go a bit I wanted to go back. His arms felt so safe, like nothing in the world could stop him. The students around us were applauding and whistling but for the first time I didn't care about what everyone else was thinking. I couldn't even really hear them.

"Shit, I have so many pick up lines for a time like this but you are so pretty that you made me forget them."
