Sometimes in life you get those feelings where you think this has to be a dream. Your head starts to spin so fast, that you can't even pin down a single thought. You can't remember anything, not even how to breathe properly let alone how you are supposed to be reacting.
I was in one of those moments.
I stared at Scorpius for what was probably only a couple seconds, but felt like an eternity. My head was whirling, but I was pretty confident that Scorpius just said he wanted to kiss me again.
"Are you drunk?" I choked out softly. It wasn't an insult, I seriously thought that it had to be the only explanation.
Scorpius gave a weak smile, and took another step towards me. "Nope. Well, I've had a bit to drink, but not enough to not know what I'm saying."
He stared at me intensely, waiting to see my reaction. And I wasn't even for sure how I was going to react.
I had hated Scorpius for so long. He had always been annoying and rude and picked on me. I had once loathed him with every ounce of my being. But lately that had sort of gone away. Something had happened along the way, perhaps when we were at the lake, or maybe even before that when he had carried me to the hospital wing. But I didn't hate him as much anymore. Actually I really didn't hate him at all.
"Don't over think it, Rose." Scorpius said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I could see a hint of sadness in his eyes, as he started to turn away from me.
Before I could mull over it anymore, I reached out, grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. Before he had any time to react, I was pulling him towards me. I had to stand on my the tips of my toes so I could crash my lips on his.
At first he stood still, but after getting over the initial shock, relaxed and deepened the kiss. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me even closer to him. I put my arms around his neck, and couldn't help but sigh in content. This must of awakened something in him, for he started to kiss me harder, lacing his fingers in my hair.
I hadn't realized at how much my feet were aching from standing on my toes until he pulled away and whispered "Let's get out of the middle of the room."
He grabbed my hand and led me over to a wall. I was vaguely aware that people were staring, but in that moment I didn't care. All I cared about was kissing Scorpius again. Because what just happened was incredible.
I leaned my back against the cold stone wall, and Scorpius braced himself on either side of me.
"And what do you desire at this moment Rose Weasley?" he said smirking.
I rolled my eyes and reached back up to wrap my hands around his neck again. This time his lips met mine in the middle.
...
It felt like we were there for hours. Scorpius holding me close to him up against the wall. Me running my fingers across his back and through his hair. I never wanted to move on from that moment. Never wanted for his strong arms to let go of me. Never wanted for us to part.
Unfortunately my best friend and cousin had to ruin that moment.
"Eh hem."
Scorpius pulled away and dropped his arms from around my waist. I looked over to see Sarah and Albus staring at us. Sarah's was smiling, her eyes lit up with amusement. Albus looked very uncomfortable.
"Uhh Scorp, they need you over there. The captains of all the teams are going to do some challenges against each other," Albus said.
"And I was thinking about heading back Rose, before it gets to crazy and was wondering if you wanted to come too..." said Sarah, looking between Scorpius and me.
I nodded. "Yeah that sounds like a good idea."
I turned to Scorpius, not really knowing what to say, but I didn't have to because the Slytherin captain came and drunkenly grabbed Scorpius's arm. "There you are Malfoy, we are starting," and pulled him away. Albus gave Sarah quick kiss goodnight, and followed them.
Sarah gave me a giant smirk, but I ignored her and started heading to the door. All the way up the stairs she wouldn't stop smiling.
"Sarah, could you stop you're creeping me out."
That just made Sarah laugh. "Come on Rosie, you know you want to talk about it!"
I groaned. "Maybe later, when we are not out of bed after curfew."
"Alright, but as soon as we get back, you are going to give me all the details!"
...
"Rose snogged Malfoy!"
I threw my head back in frustration. We had literally just walked in the room when Sarah announced it to my other roommates.
Dom and Nicola both shot up from where they were sitting.
"Yes! " Dom shrieked and turned to Nicola, "You owe me a Fizzing Whisbee!"
Nicola's mouth was agape. "No way! I was for sure it wasn't going to happen until next week!"
I stared at them incredulously. "What are you talking about? And could you keep it down, normal people are sleeping."
Dom patted her bed, and I went and sat on it. Nicola and Sarah both climbed up too, ready to hear about my night.
"Nicola and I had a bet whether or not you and Scorp would finally realize that you had the hots for each other tonight," Dom explained.
"I thought you guy would be dancing around this for at least another month. I mean it's taken years just to have a normal conversation with the guy."
Appalled, I looked at Sarah. She threw her hands up and said, "Hey I didn't bet on it!"
"So you mean you all thought that Scorpius and I were going to make out at some point?"
"Of course," chirped Dom, "You guys are like the definition of sexual tension."
"But enough about that," said Nicola, "Tell us the details. "How was it?"
"It was good..." I said, then I closed my eyes remembering how it felt when I was pressed up against wall... "Actually, it was bloody incredible."
The girls all laughed. "I'll say," Sarah piped up, "You guys were kissing like it was the last day on Earth."
I smacked her with a pillow, even though I knew she wasn't wrong.
"So what did he say afterwards?" Dom asked, leaning forward a tiny bit.
"Nothing actually. Albus and Sarah interrupted us-"
This admitted glares from the other two, and Sarah shouted, "It wasn't my fault! Albus needed him!"
"-anyways then Daniel Tommens grabbed Scorp away from me and that was that."
"You should of said something!" said Dom.
I covered my face in my hands. "Like what? Thanks for the snog, see you Monday!"
Nicola rolled her eyes. "You could of said something sexy, like whispered in his ear, 'Meet me tomorrow in empty classroom, third floor, first on the right'."
"I think you've watched to many movies, Nic, " I said, "Now I'm exhausted, do you mind if I go get some sleep now?"
The girls wanted me to go into deeper detail, but I insisted I was too tired. Finally they gave up and allowed me to change into my pajamas and crawl into my bed.
My brain was still spinning, even an hour after it had happened. And I was really nervous what was going to happen next.
...
By morning, gossip was flying about last night's Quidditch party. The Hufflepuff captain had ran across the school lawn stark naked. A Gryffinndor beater had cheated on his girlfriend. Someone's date had thrown up in front of Slughorn's office after drinking too much fire whiskey. The party was shut down at two in the morning by the headmistress herself.
And Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy were snogging in the corner.
It seemed as if the entire school including the professors knew this.
When I sat down at breakfast the next morning with Sarah, I got curious glances from most of the Gryffinndor table but nobody actually made a comment. Most people were more concerned with the fact that Layla Tricket was crying softly at the Ravenclaw table, because her now ex-boyfriend was caught making out with some fourth year.
"Poor girl," said Sarah, "I wish we could comfort her somehow..." I agreed.
James and Fred came stalking up to the table and sat across from us.
"What were you thinking Rose! You can't snog the enemy!" James shouted.
"They aren't the enemy James, besides it was probably just a onetime thing. Maybe. I don't know."
"Besides," said Sarah, "I'm kissed Albus, who is also the enemy."
"That's different," huffed James, "If he wasn't my brother I would be yelling at you too."
I stole a glance over my shoulder at the Slytherin table while the two were arguing. I spotted Malfoy's white-blond hair in an instant. As subtle I was trying to be, Malfoy saw me looking at him. His face broke out into a smile and winked at me. I couldn't help ut give a slight smile in response, before turning back towards Sarah.
Oh my gosh I read and reread this chapter like five times trying to get it perfect, so please review how I did! One thing I would like to say, reviewer .Literatur, you recommended the song "Savior" by Rise Against a long time ago and I forgot to say that I listened to it like 20 times.
Also if you want to start up a conversation with me, you can find me on tumblr at .com
Thanks for the lovely comments, love you all 3
