A/N: Thankyou to Kristiepits, Electraa, Decoding Blue, Paperback28 & Izzy., and anon., for the reviews on the last chapter. And to everybody that put this on their favourites and alerts.

So this chapter should be fairly happy - well as happy as I can make it because I don't think these two have been through enough yet.

Summary: You can occupy my every sigh; you can rent the space inside my mind.

Red Flags & Long Nights

Scorpius Malfoy wasn't happy.

"Dude," his friend, Kenny Davis said as he poked him in the ribs. "What's up with you?"

Scorpius shot him a dirty look before setting his gaze on the front of the classroom, not wanting to look at anyone or anything else but the Professor that was teaching.

"I heard the Weasley girl's friends talking about you," he persisted. "They didn't seem too pleased with you…or with her."

Scorpius frowned. He hadn't expected Rose to tell her friends that quickly, he still hadn't told his best friend about what happened a week earlier. He wanted to tell his friends, but really didn't like the idea of all the taunting and teasing he would receive because of it.

"Oh," said Scorpius, trying to feign innocence. "And why would that be?"

Kenny shrugged. "No clue. Maybe it had to do with you running out after her, again, a few nights ago. You really need to stop doing that."

"You really need to shut up," Scorpius retorted as the Professor dismissed the class. He watched as the vibrant red head breezed past him easily, her green eyed cousin by her side and a few whispering friends trailing along behind.

She wouldn't say yes to him would she?

No, Rose it much smarter than that.

You never know though, she's very secretive.

But she told us about him didn't she?

Scorpius rolled his eyes and followed the gossiping girls out of the classroom door as they headed towards Defence Against the Dark Arts. He hadn't been expecting Rose to tell her friends about them, he hadn't even expected her to tell her family for the matter. Hadn't she been the one that was embarrassed and worried about what everybody would think? He shook his head and continued to follow behind the giggling girls, Albus Potter and Rose with Kenny by his side.

As he entered the Defence classroom he ran into Albus. "Watch it Potter," Scorpius sneered, not really in the mood to try and charm Rose's family.

The Potter boy stood his ground, arms crossed over his chest and glaring daggers at Scorpius. Kenny shoved him lightly. "He said to watch it," Kenny echoed, pushing past Albus. "Are you deaf of something?"

"Not as blind as what you are, Davis," Albus retorted. "Plus, I only want to have a nice, civil conversation with dear Scorpius here."

Kenny shot Scorpius a do-you-want-me-to-handle-this-look, but Scorpius raised his hand, signalling for his friend to carry on inside. "You heard Albus," he told Kenny calmly. "He only wants to have a civil talk."

The dark haired boy hesitantly went into the classroom leaving Scorpius and Albus outside alone. "Does Rose know your talking to me?" He asked, wondering if the red head had put her cousin up to this.

"Yes," Albus replied coolly. "But it was my idea, not hers. Rose seems to be against us talking at the moment."

"So then why are you talking to me?" He asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Albus took a step closer to him. "Because she's my cousin and you're a Malfoy."

"Point taken," Scorpius said sarcastically, trying to step around him. "I'll remember that next time I see her."

"Look," Albus said taking on a new tone. "I just want what's best for Rose and at the moment she seems to think that you are the best. I have no problem with you being around Rose, with you dating Rose. What I have a problem with is you breaking her heart, because I know how much she cares for you."

"Look Pot-" he took a deep breath, "Albus. I like Rose. A lot. There's nothing that can change that. We're only teenagers; we might as well have some fun while we still can."

Albus snorted. "Well I'm telling you in advance that she's going to give you your answer today." He began to walk into the classroom. "Oh and good luck with her friends," he laughed. "They can be quite the gossiping handful."

Scorpius rolled his eyes and entered the classroom after Albus. He was met with surprised faces, the only one that didn't seem surprised with Rose's. "What's with everybody?" he asked Kenny as he sat down.

Kenny glanced around the room. "Everybody thought that there'd be screaming, yelling and one of you would end up in the Hospital Wing dead," he informed Scorpius, patting him on the back. "Good to see you alive though."

Scorpius shook his head in disbelief and slouched down in his seat, preparing to listen to another boring Defence lesson. The only thing that seemed to make it good was that he could stare at the back of Rose's head without anybody noticing, since he sat in the back corner of the room with the girl he liked right in front of him.

A note landed on his desk, startling him out of his thoughts. He looked at Kenny who just laughed silently and shook his head. Rose hand turned around to look at him, before she quickly looked back towards the front of the classroom.

Like looking at the back of my head?

Scorpius laughed lightly and scribbled a reply.

Yeah, almost as much as your giggling, gossiping friends.

He flung the note into one of her friend's hair. The blonde gave him a death glare before handing the note to Rose who gave him a look of disapproval.

You could be a little nicer to them you know. So how did your 'talk' with Albus go?

Better then you could have imagined.

He was about to send it back to her when Albus words echoed in his ears, 'she's going to give you your answer today.'

So, will you go out with me?

Scorpius sent it quickly to her, immediately regretting it. He should have waited until later to ask her, he should have asked her in person. He watched as her head tilted to the side and he could see her shocked face in his mind. She turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows. Scorpius shrugged in return, not really knowing what to do or say.

He spent the rest of the lesson tapping his pen and other various objects against the wood of the desk, much to Kenny's annoyance. "What's got you so worked up?" He asked when the class was dismissed.

"Nothing," Scorpius replied getting up slowly. "You go to lunch; I need to talk to somebody."

Kenny walked away mumbling something about Rose that he really didn't want to hear. Her friends pasted him, giggling again. He sighed in frustration. How he hated giggling girls. Albus passed him and gave him an encouraging smile. He smiled back hesitantly, why was Potter supporting him anyway?

Rose came up to him slowly. Her red hair tamed back in a ponytail and dark blue eyes sparkling. She kissed him quickly on the cheek. "So fabulous boyfriend of mine," she said grinning. "Shall we go to lunch?"

Scorpius gaped at her, giving the impression of a fish. She giggled, something that made him cringe. Rose slapped her hand over her mouth. "Sorry," she apologised. "I know how much you hate giggling."

Scorpius grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly. "You kept me waiting a week with your reply," he joked looking into her eyes. "I think I can put up with your giggles."

She gave him a breathtaking smile as Scorpius pulled her out of the classroom.

I had to put Albus in there. Had to hear from Albus, and the giggling girlfriends.

And I need you opinion, should I write more or leave it as a three shot? You tell me.

Review please, because I did this instead of my Geography assessment that's due in tomorrow.

Oh, and i've written some Rose/Scorpius drabbles that will be updated soon, from Rose's point of view. Check them out!
