Thicker Than Blood

Five years later, Rose Weasley was running down the corridors to her Charms class. She had never learned her lesson about staying up so late at night. She blew her auburn bangs from her face as she continued to run. Rose skidded around the corner and saw Scorpius Malfoy and his cronies standing outside History of Magic. Inwardly, Rose groaned and slowed her pace down, waiting for Malfoy's snide comments about her family being ''blood traitors'' and she being a "Half-Blood."

"Well hello, Red......" Scorpius blocked her path to Charms. "Running later again?" He tisked at her, and then smirked. Scorpius bent his head to her and and whispered "Was I too rough for you?" He pulled back with a satisfied smirk as his crnies laughed at his comment to Rose.

Rose lifted her chin highly, her golden eyes smoldering with sparks of fire in then. She was angery at his comment, but Rose refused to let him get the best of her today. How dare he! Rose thought as she started for her wand, and decided against it after the Howler her mother sent her after the last dule Rose had in the corridors. She shuddered at the thought of her mother's screeching voice booming from the red letter.

She smirked as she decided to turn the tables on Scorpius. Rose pressed her palm against his chest, "That was just child's play...." Rose retorted and let her voice drop down into a seductive tone, "You don't know what rough is, Malfoy." She whispered in his ear and then shouldered past him.

The tension in the hall was so thick that Rose could feel it caressing her freckled skin. She turned back to see Scorpius gaping at her and she called back, "But if you really want me to show you a good time, you know where to find me." Rose winked before slipping into Charms as Prof. Flitwick shut the door.

"Nice of you to join us Miss Weasley." The short elfish Flitwick squeaked.

Rose's cheeks flushed as Flitwick chatsied her infront of the whole class, "Sorry, Prof." She muttered her apology on her way to her seat. Rose flopped down in the empty seat next to her cousin Albus Potter.

Albus looked up at her and smirked, "So whats your excuse this time? Nargles eat your socks?" He asked while he watched her unpack her quil, ink, and parchement to take notes with.

Rose sighed, "What do you think? One word..... Malfoy." She dipped her quil into the ink and started to write the day's date on her paper: November 11th.

"Are you ever going to learn to ignore him, Rose?" Albus nagged at her for falling into Scorpius' traps. "You know he does it to rouse you...." He added.

"And I told him nicely how he needed to practice more often to rouse me," She said boldly, dipping her quil into the ink again. Albus froze and gaped at her. Rose giggled, "You know he gave me that same look," She smiled. "You're doing a perfect replay of it too..." Rose teased Albus as he stook his head to clear his mind.

"Rose!" Albus hissed at her, "You really didn't say that to him..... did you?" He asked skeptically.

"Oh, but my dear cousin I did," She responded while jotting notes down as Flitwick squeaked out the incantation for a new spell. "He deserved it after the comment he said to me..." Rose started recalling her encounter with Scorpius. Albus listened to her stunned by the banter both Rose and Scorpius threw at each other.

Scorpius' blodd was boiling because of Rose Weasley, and no it wasn't the pleasurable kind either. Not that he would min.... Malfoy shook his head and refused to think how attractive Rose looked and how he'd love to rouse her like he refered to earlier.

Jia appeared into Scorpius' view and tossed her back her lucious blond hair as she tugged playfully on his tie, "You know Scorp, that Weasley girl doesn't know what she's missing." She rose onto her tip toes and nipped his ear, "I personally find you very satisfying..." Jia pulled back with a seductive smile, beconing Scorpius.

Scorpius was so frustrated with Rose and his attraction to her, that he wanted nothing more than to take Jia into an abandoned classroom and show her how aggressive he really was, but he wasn't like his rogueish father. He refused to take advantage of a girl like this, "You drive a hard bargin, Jia." Scorpius sighed refusing her as he stepped back, "But were not dating anymore, and class is about to begin..." He said, stepping around the shell shocked Jia and into the History of Magic classroom, still thinking about the firey Weasley....Rose.

"Whats got your knickers in a bunch?" Axel asked Scorpius when he sat down.

"Nothing, its none of your buisness, Zabini." Malfoy snapped while taking out his History of Magic book and flipping it to the page instructed on the blackboard.

Zabini smirked, "I heard the little Weasley put you in your place just before class.... I doesn't have anything to do with that does it?" He pressed on.

Scorpius growled and turned to his best mate, "Look I told you its none of your bloody buisness!" He snapped at Axel.

"Fine suit yourself, but in my oppinion I think you two have the hots for each other, but you guys wont do a damn thing about it because you are a Malfoy and she is a Weasley." Axel pointed out with a grin. "And sadly thats a shame because who wouldn't want Rose underneath them..." He waggled his brows suggestively.

Me." Malfoy gritted through his teeth.

Axel chuckled, "You're in denial buddy, and don't say you're not.... You've got it bad for Rose Wealsey." He teased, "Ever since the first time you ran into her in her first year."
