the next morning Rose was sitting at breakfast. she glanced at Scorpius from the other side of the room and smiled, he smiled back. Suddenly their moment got interrupted by an small owl, it was Pigwidgeon, the family owl of the Weasleys. It was holding a red letter.
"shit" Rose said
"what" Alice said without looking up from her breakfast
"It's a howler" Alice looked up "better be getting out of here before the entire school will hear it.
"Rose looked up at Scorpius who was staring at her. She ran away from the Great hall as far as she could get before the Howler burned down. Scorpius ran to her and the Howler started yelling:
"ROSE WEASLEY!" her dad's voice shouted out of the letter. "OUT OF ALL THE BOYS AT HOGWARTS YOU HAD TO PICK A MALFOY?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE YOUNG LADY! I WILL HAVE YOU HOME THIS HOLIDAYS EVEN IF I HAVE TO GET YOU HOME MYSELF! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU" and with a final explosion the letter burned down in flames.

"looks like your dad isn't very happy about me" Scorpius said quietly. Rose had, without realizing, crawled against Scorpius, he held her tight and caressed her. "hey, it's going to be okay, I know your dad doesn't like me and my family and I understand that there's not much to do about it, but we'll figure it out." "Do you think he hates me?" Rose said with a small voice "of course he doesn't hate you, don't say things like that" "okay" Rose said, but she still felt miserable. The bell rang and people started walking out of the Great hall "see you later Rosie" Scorpius said before gave her one last kiss and he walked to his fellow classmates. Alice walked up to Rose with Rose's bag "hey you left your books so I took them with me, here" she said, she gave the bag to Rose. "You okay Rose?" she asked "I'm fine enough" "okay" Alice understood she shouldn't ask further.

two hours later

Rose felt a little less terrible now she had some distraction with her classes and friends. But she soon got remembered of the letter because of her next class: transfiguration... From professor McGonagall... With the Slytherins...
As the hour passed Rose thought (and hoped) that McGonagall had forgotten about her and Scorpius skipping class, but the class wasn't over yet. "you can pack your books and leave for lunch; O but can miss Weasley and mister Malfoy get over here first" McGonagall said at the end of the class. Rose looked at Scorpius, he just stared back. They knew this would happen, but it still sucked to hear it. after everyone left, McGonagall started talking:
"I've noticed that the both of you were gone yesterday, I've heard, and I assume, that you two were together. Can one of you tell me where the two of you have been?"
Scorpius started stalking: "I'm very sorry professor, it was my fault, I dragged Rose with me she didn't do anything..." "but I assume miss Weasley had the choice to come with you, or you would've kidnapped her, that would change the story a bit." McGonagall interrupted him. "professor" Rose said "I've gone with Scorpius out of free will, that's true, but, I had a... really crappy morning and he was just trying to cheer me up. Really!"
McGonagall looked at the two of them. "listen, I believe you. And I know about... your situation. But I can't let this go unpunished. I do have to write your parents, yes mister Malfoy, yours too" she said when she saw Scorpius looking shocked. "and the both of you will have two hours detention this afternoon in my classroom. I can't let other students think it's okay to skip an entire day. You may now leave." McGonagall said.
Rose and Scorpius walked out of the classroom. The moment the door closed shut Scorpius started grumbling: "FUCK!" he yelled "thanks for trying to keep me out of trouble" Rose said "yeah and it almost worked if you didn't say it was your fault too" "O come on, it was a sweet story you told but she would never fall for it. but I really appreciate it" she said while she swung her arms around his neck "yeah sure" Scorpius smiled. He put his hands on her hips and kissed her.

that evening

Rose walked down the stairs to McGonagall's classroom. when she got there, Scorpius was already there. He knocked on the door and held it open for Rose. She giggled. "sit down" McGonagall said. "I have a view documents which need to be sorted in alphabetical order. good luck." she put a two 3 feet piles of files on the table. McGonagall sat down. Rose looked at the pile of files, she made a face and looked at Scorpius who was just as surprised as her. "We have to order the entire pile alphabetically?" He said. "yes" McGonagall said like it was the most natural thing in the world "and I should better get started if I were you." and with a final sight they started sorting the files.

after 40 minutes someone knocked at the door. "come in" McGonagall said. It was Professor Slughorn "Minerva, can you help me, it will only take 10 minutes or so" "I will give you ten minutes, not a second later." McGonagall walked out of the room, leaving Rose and Scorpius alone.
"god finally" Scorpius said "ugh, I cant look at all those words anymore" Rose said.
"hey Rose"
"what"
"McGonagall isn't going to be back for ten minutes..."
"and what are you trying to say with that?" she smiled
He stood up, Rose grabbed his hand and pulled herself on her feet too. Scorpius kissed her, he lifted her up and placed her on the table without breaking the kiss. A few files felt on the floor. His hand slid under her skirt to her tight as he sucked on the sweet spot on her neck. Rose gasped. Suddenly they heard McGonagall talking behind the door. They quickly went back to their work and cleaned up all the files that were spread on the floor. McGonagall walked in just when they both sat down. "the two of you better not had done 'stuff' while I was gone" she said while she walked to her desk. "what? how could you ever think that of us?" Scorpius said sarcastically.
