Ten: Scorpius/Rose
Prompts: none of your beeswax ; black stockings.
That holiday, he stays at Al's place for a fortnight or so. Rose is there too, and he's all happy-happy until one night that he remembers very well.
He'd knocked on Rosie's door, and she's told him to enter. The moment he goes in, though, his mouth opens in an O-shape at the sight.
The room is in a mess, and he sees dresses strewn all around, dresses that probably belong to Lily. All of them are in dark colours, and Scorpius hasn't seen the worst of it yet. Rose.
She looks more different than he's ever seen her, and that is a big deal since he's been her best friend for six years now.
Rosie's face is blathered with dark, heavy makeup that hardly even suits her. She's in black from head to toe, he notices. Even her normally blue eyes seem dark.
She's playing with her own black stockings and sitting on the bed, wearing clothes more revealing than Scorpius has ever seen her wear.
"What-what happened, Rosie?" he asks, shocked but slightly afraid to ask.
"Scorp-" she begins, but then her tone changes and it is as if a devil has taken over, "None of your beeswax."
Scorpius can't help feel that Rose is losing her innocence, though dare not tell any of her brothers.
