It was only the second day of school and they had tons of homework already. "Thank god we've all these free hours" Rose said to Alice during breakfast "I really hope we can get most of the homework done by dinner, I really don't feel like staying up late just for homework" Alice said. They walked to their next class when they suddenly heard "Rose! Wait up!" Rose turned around and saw Scorpius running to them. "Hey Rose, wanna make that positions essay this afternoon in the library?" He said "um yea sure see you then" "okay cool bye" and he rushed off again. Rose watched him until Alice pulled her away. "Looks like someone has a date" Alice said "shut up, and it not a date" Rose said "it's not!" She repeated after she saw Alice looking.
After lunch they had a free hour and Rose went to the library for her potions essay with Scorpius. When she got there she saw that there were only a few fifth and sixt years learning or making homework but no Scorpius. Rose decided to start with the essay while waiting for Scorpius.
-10 minutes later-
Suddenly Rose felt two hands on her shoulders "sorry I'm a little late" Scorpius whispered in her ear "a little?!" Rose responded fake-angry "a little? 10 minutes late Scorpius Malfoy, that's not a little" "I'm sorry Rosie" Scorpius said. Rose rolled his eyes at him. "Don't call me that" "dont call you what" Scorpius said innocent "Rosie, no one calls me that anymore" "well that's too bad for no one" he smiled. "So, are we gonna start or what?" "Um, yeah right. I'm gonna look for another book about dark potions, can you look for a document about R. Swoopstikes?" Rose asked "who?" Scorpius said "Swoopstikes! The inventor of the Draught of the living dead, if you would have read the book instead of letting me do all the work, you would've known" "sorry babe" Rose turned to him with her eyes wide open, did he seriously just said... "sorry?" Rose said to Scorpius "what?" He grinned. Rose rolled her eyes and walked to the bookcase with a smile on her face and cheeks almost the same colour as her hair. She knew she liked Scorpius, she knew it for a while now. She could deny it but it wouldn't change anything about her feelings for him. She kept thinking while she was looking for the right book when suddenly Scorpius was behind her. "Damnit Scor, you scared the crap out of me!" "Rose" he said seriously "I have to know this... do you like me, and I mean more than as friends" he stared at her eyes, Rose just stood there, shocked, was this seriously happening? How... why... she thought. She looked at him and said "wha... what? I mean yes, but... why?" "Because I like you too" he leaned forward and kissed her. She was surprised and backed up out of an impuls. Scorpius looked at her with sadness on his face. Rose realised what she did, "why did I do that" she thought. Scorpius tried to walk away but Rose grabbed his tie and smashed her lips on his. His hands were on her waist. her hand was on his neck while the other was in his hair. It was the best kiss of her life. (Not that she had much to compare to.) It was passionate and it just felt so good, so right. They stood there for two minutes, it felt like hours for Rose. After they broke the kiss they looked at each other and smiled. "Essay" Scorpius reminded them "eh yea right, the essay." after they found the books they needed they went back to work
-one hour later-
"God finally we're done" Scorpius sighted. They packed their things and went outside. When they were at the spot where they both had to go the other direction, they stopped to snog some more. After a while Scorpius said: "Maybe we should keep this quiet for a while, it's not that I don't want to be seen with you or something, but it's just..." "yeah, no you're totally right, I mean I'm a Gryffindor and you're a Slytherin..." "yeah, exactly." "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then" Rose said "yeah see you tomorrow. Sweet dreams princess" Scorpius said "goodnight" Rose giggled.
After one good night kiss Rose walked up the stairs. She climbed trough the portrait hole and saw Alice sitting by the fire. "Hey Alice" "o hey Rose, so... how was your date?" it was not a date! Stop calling it that" "then why is your face turning red?" Alice smirked. "Shut up!" she hid her cheeks behind her hands. "O my god, something did happened! Tell. Me. Everything" "okay fine we kissed, but promise me you won't tell anyone." Rose said. "Yes! O my god I'm so happy for you and I swear I won't tell anyone but o my gosh I'm so happy for you!" Alice said. She talked so fast it was funny. "So..." Alice said "so what?" "So, how was it!" "It was good" Rose said "good? Really? That's all? Well that sucks" "okay, it was perfect, he was truly amazing" "thank god! Never scare me like that again Rose."
