Do you believe in love at first sight?
Chapter 5
Rose felt like she'd been hit with a jelly-legs jinx, she had just tried to stand up and her legs gave way causing her to back to the ground giggling. Scorpius wrapped his arms around her, holding her up and kissing her again.
She had done it, they had done it, she hadn't had an orgasm it far too uncomfortable for that. But she had done it, lost her virginity to this handsome, lovely man who made her feel so comfortable, so content. Her face was plastered with dry saliva and her lips were twice their normal size, but Rose had never been happier in her entire life.
"Can we do that again tomorrow?" Rose put a hand round Scorpius' waist and they started walking back.
"Yeah, then the day after?" Scorpius threw a hand round her shoulders.
"Then, you can come to my place in Somerset."
"…And you can come to mine in Salisbury."
"Ooh and I've always wanted to do it in Salisbury." Rosie giggled giving Scorpius' waist a squeeze.
"You do know that when I said 'I think I was falling for you' I meant it, don't you? It wasn't because of what we were doing or what I thought you wanted to hear."
"You mean it."
"Totally, completely!" They kissed again, Rose thought about her years at Hogwarts of loneliness and isolation, all those years of existing without being and making do. She was leaving that sad little girl behind, Scorpius was telling her he loved her, the rawness of her lost virginity still burning between her legs, the old Rose was just an obscure blob on the horizon.
They arrived back at their tents, it was deserted, the grass was littered with empty bottles. Scorpius walked her right up to the door, they kissed and whispered many good nights.
"See you tomorrow."
"Good night." Rose kissed him once more then disappeared inside.
Rose arrived back inside and felt the strange atmosphere immediately, her parents were still up as were most of the adults, who were talking in whispers. They noticed Rose and their conversation ceased.
"What's going on?" Rose looked from her mother to her father.
"Oh nothing, nothing." Her mother replied briskly, "Did you have a good night?"
This question surprised Rose, she was expecting the old auror interrogation trick, instead no one batted an eye lid to her return at two in the morning, something was wrong, something had happened.
"What's happened? Something is wrong here."
"Nothings wrong, everyone had too much to drink and there was some…bad behavior." Looking from Ron to Harry to George and Bill, who all looked sheepish.
"The others are upstairs packing, we've decided to head back tonight."
"What, no! You go I'm staying!" she looked at Ginny for support.
"Harry and your dad would have to leave tomorrow anyway to get back for work, so we all thought it was best, to get back now while the port key station is quiet." Ginny soothed. Rosie wanted to cry, wanted to scream like a small child bang her fists against the floor, instead she stormed off slamming the door behind her.
She burst into her bedroom to see two very miserable looking cousins,
"What happened?" Rose demanded.
"They didn't tell you…?" Lily questioned
"No, WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED HERE TONIGHT!"
Scorpius awoke to an empty room, he dressed in silence excited about what the day would bring. A day whole with Rose! He looked out the window, it had rained over night the grass shone with dewy drops of water, Scorpius stepped outside to get Rose, the ground made a crumpled noise under foot – a piece of parchment, the ink had run making it completely illegible, the was also a big muddy foot print through it. Scorpius scrutinized it for a while trying to make out what it said, he could make out his name, and no matter what angle he looked at it or how he squinted, only three other words could be deciphered-
'I'm so humiliated.'
