Chapter 12 - Before Christmas Break
Rose and Scorpius were hanging out, without Albus and Alaine, in the Room of Requirement early in December, they were on a casual date, nothing formal, just sitting on a Ravenclaw blue loveseat the room had created, talking quietly. Rose was leaning on Scorp's shoulder a contented smile on her face, and their joined hands lay in his lap.
Rose was pondering the upcoming Christmas Break, she hadn't forgotten that her mother had extended an invitation to the Malfoy's to join them for the holiday, but Rose wasn't sure what her father's reaction would be to that. But, she also didn't know what her boyfriend's family did for the holiday, so she asked, "What do you guys normally do for Christmas?"
Scorpius shrugged, "Honestly, not much. We mostly celebrate by ourselves, just the 3 of us. Some of the best parts of the hoiday is when I go to visit Al, and owls from you, and when you all gather at the Burrow when I'm visiting."
Rose grinned, "Well, this holiday promises to be better for you. When my mum owled me when we started dating, she mentioned an invite for you and your family to spend it with us."
His gray eyes brightened to a silvery color, "Really? That'd be amazing! And we wouldn't have to be apart for those long weeks!"
She nodded excitedly, ""I know! If you owl your parents to ask, I'll comfirm the offer still stands with my mum."
It was his turn to nod, "I'll do it before classes tomorrow, for sure", he couldn't control himself as a wide smile, filled with white teeth, stretched across his face, "This is going to be the best holiday I've ever had, being with you."
She blushed faintly at the way he said that last statement, "Oh, it'll be my best too. Though I have to warn you, it gets a bit crazy at my place around Christmas, and my father promises to be moody with you and your dad there... I don't know why he can't grow up.", she grumbled.
Scorpius shrugged, "I know that he never forgave my father for being on Voldemort's side during the war, but he didn't want to. He was protecting his family, just like your dad was protecting his."
She nodded, " I know Scorp... Trust me, I know. For ever anti-Malfoy rant I've ever heard, I've heard 5 'be yourself'' lectures from my mum," she shook her head with a sigh, "Can we talk about something else, please? We're on a date I don't want to talk about my childish dad or my mum.
Scorpius chuckled at his girlfriend, "Of course we can talk about something different, love. Anything you want to talk about in particular?"
She smiled at his laugh, content from where she leaned on him, kissing his cheek softly with a faint blush, "No, not really," she admitted, "I have no clue what to talk about."
Scorpius laughed again, "I figured as much. How about we talk about our progress on the animagus transformation?"
She nodded and the next half an hour they talked about their progress, before it came close to curfew and Scorpius lead her to Ravenclaw Tower. Instead of the normal hug and kiss to the cheek he would have normally given her as a way of saying goodnight, he locked his eyes on her lips and slowly neared them, pausing for just a moment, silently asking permission.
Rose's heart leapt at the feeling of his lips, just a breath away from her own. In response to his silent question, she crossed the miniscule gap between their lips and kissed him.
The kiss was soft and slow, gentle and the prefect first kiss. It conveyed with a word the love they felt for each other, though they had not said the words aloud yet. After a few endless moments they broke apart, staring into each others' eyes as they whispered their hushed goodnights. Rose headed up to her bed, and Scorpius down to the Slytherin dungeons to his own dorm, and as both feel asleep that night, a replay of that kiss was a main feature in her dreams.
A/N: Was that a okay first kiss? I honestly wouldn't have any idea, as I've never kissed anybody. XD Review with your thoughts on this small, but somewhat important chapter! Hope you enjoyed!
