This one was taken from An Artists Account's profile - I wasn't snooping, I swear! Someone told me about them, so I checked them out. Lol. I hope you, and everybody else, likes it!

Also, the next chapter may be from Scorpius' POV, instead of Rose's (but I'll let you know) as per alicenotinwonderland's suggestion! Thank you! Just when I was starting to worry that Scor was coming off as too good for Rose, BAM- you awesome people come up with a great idea!

Also, this one is for those of you who wanted a little more romance. :)

EDIT: Sorry if you get a double email about this anybody, I just had to fix a couple of mistakes I made (silly me! :D)


A friend will pick out a cute chick-flick to watch with you on a movie night,

A best friend will pick out "The Ring" for movie night then scare you both in the process.


The one thing I loved about the summer holidays was not the swimming, the endless hours of Quidditch, the ease with which I could stare at my best friends naked torso and drool unnoticed, or the lack of work.

The one thing I loved was movie nights.

Since Third Year all my cousins and I, and whichever of their friends were round at that time of the summer - because people were coming and going to The Burrow all summer - had begun the tradition of a movie night.

Lucy and I had started it off by watching Mean Girls in the living room when the adults had gone to Uncle Percy's who lived just on the other side of Ottery St. Catchpole. Lily, Roxanne and Victoire had soon joined us with popcorn, and even Fred (who claimed Roxanne had forced him into it, but she had done no such thing) sat with us.

Ever since then, every night of the summer - unless there was an unusual circumstance, like the time my dad accidentally cut off his finger and we had to rush him to A&E, or when we all went to see the opera (Uncle Harry slept practically the whole way through it, when he wasn't rolling his eyes at it).

It was nice - we got to spend some time together, curled up on the sofas, or the soft rug on the floor, or the window seat, or the armchairs, by the fire. We got to hang out and tease each other and catch up.

Today was the middle of summer - July the 19th - and the majority of us had spent it learning to surf on the lake at the bottom of the field adjacent to The Burrow. Scorpius had gone surfing in Australia over the Christmas Break (traditional, I know) and we'd all been dying to learn since then.

Needless to say, I was terrible.

At first.

I fell off constantly, and kept catching my feet on the board. But when Scorpius had gone inside to get some rest from the sun and write to his mum (he was such a mummy's boy), Dominique had taught me in simpler words, and it suddenly clicked.

She was the only one who had noticed, so when Scorpius came back I pretended I was just as hopeless as ever.

Cue two hours of having him bare-chested standing with his arms around me.

It was a good afternoon.

I shouldn't indulge myself in any sort of feelings for my best friend, I know, I know. But, I couldn't help it. I was never really one for self-control.

The only reason I didn't jump him was because my family were there, and because he was as clueless as anything. He didn't have a clue that I liked him, and I wasn't going to give him a heart attack telling him, was I?

Besides, it was a recent development. Since Christmas. That's when it had hit me like a tonne of bricks, and then everything had spiralled out of control since then.

So I just… tricked him a little.

I grinned to myself, and Dom, who was the only other person in our Nana's kitchen, on popcorn duty with me tonight, tutted and rolled her eyes at me.

I glared at her.

"You're thinking about him again," She told me bluntly.

"So?" I muttered back defensively.

"So you shouldn't," She pointed out. "Unless you plan to do something about it."

She tossed her long blonde hair over her shoulder and gave me a nod, reinforcing her point. I rolled my eyes.

"If you stop drooling after Seamus, I'll stop thinking about… him," I proposed, knowing she wouldn't agree.

She surveyed me for ten seconds, her expression completely blank. Then she sighed, grinned, and winked at me. "Touche."

"Thank you," I smirked as the microwave beeped.

We made our way into the living room, where sleeping bags, duvets, pillows, cushions, blankets, and more were strewn across the room around the 60 inch TV which we'd bought for Granddad Arthur last Christmas.

"What are we watching?" I asked as Fred, Al, James and Scorpius suddenly jumped out from behind the pillars either side of us. I jumped and let out a little shriek, embarrassingly, but Dom just remained motionless, completely unfazed, and rolled her eyes.

"Children," She muttered under her breath.

I giggled as Al and James bundled her onto the sofa, Lily making a save for the popcorn at the last minute, and Scorpius came to stand beside me. He stole a handful of popcorn out of the bowl I was carrying.

I gave him a disapproving look, but couldn't hold it for long before I smiled.

"Well, I wanted to watch The Proposal-" Lucy started.

"Boring!" Louis grimaced, shooting her a horrified look.

"-But it was the guys' turn to pick a film as we watched Avatar yesterday," Lucy finished. Roxanne and Fred high-fived like the twins they were, nodding in approval and achievement. SciFi nerds through and through, those two.

"So we let Scorpius pick," James grinned at me evilly. "Because he hasn't chosen one yet."

I was glad that it was him and not James, because James chose the worst films. Ever had to sit through The Human Centipede? Seriously, don't even google it. It's terrible. I think I almost threw up a couple of times. Nobody touched the popcorn that day.

I turned to my cheeky best friend, who was now bouncing up and down like a child on a sugar rush. I rolled my eyes as I plonked myself in the centre of the duvets on the floor, my back against the sofa. "Oh Merlin, do I even want to know what you picked?"

He grinned, "It's good."

"Is it?" I tried not to smirk as he landed on his knees beside me, almost toppling into me. "Is it really, Scorpius?"

He nodded eagerly. "The Ring."

"What, are you about to propose or something?" I joked.

He rolled his eyes, then moved to sit beside me, pulling a blanket across us as Lucy sat to his left and Fred sat to my right, wedging us in.

"It's a great film, you'll love it," He promised.

I didn't.

I wasn't anti-horror films as such, I just didn't really like this one.

Well, until about half-way through.

Here's something I forgot to mention: Scorpius and I like horror films, we're just hiders. You know, those people who hide behind a pillow, or their hand, or somebody else? Yep, that's us. Both of us.

I tease him about it a lot. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.

Because by the time we reached the mid-way point, he was snuggled up next to me, one arm over my shoulder, face half buried in the top of my head. I was peaking out from my position snuggled against his chest every now and then, but, to be honest, I hadn't been focusing on the film for a long time.

This main character would probably die - come on, she was a big name in a horror film; like Sarah Michelle Gellar in The Grudge or Rumer Willis in Sorority Row, they usually died, or had something terrible happen to them at least - so I didn't really mind.

By the end though, Scorpius and I were engrossed along with the others, but we were still tangled up together in case something made us jump. Which it did. A lot.

Fred, Roxanne, Alice Longbottom and Louis were shouters - calling irritated comments to the characters, exclaiming about stuff that was on screen, etc… So they didn't even notice us.

The others did though.

"Oh, Merlin, that was a good film!" Roxanne commented as soon as the credits started rolling. The others shuffled about, working movement back into their limbs now that they could.

Scorpius tried to look more macho, but failed.

We didn't move.

"I actually think I might never sleep again," I mumbled from his chest.

They laughed.

"That's okay," Roxanne replied in a teasing voice.

"I'm sure Scorpius will keep you company," Fred finished for her, making all my cousins laugh.

"Shut up," Scorpius and I snapped at the same time. Which was odd: I knew why I was touchy about that type of thing, but why was he?

Unless… he liked me?

No. That's absurd.

Is it?

Yes!

"You're just jealous that I have a beautiful girl in my arms whilst you haven't made a move on Alice yet," Scorpius pointed out, directing his words to Fred.

Fred gaped at him whilst Alice blushed. Roxanne laughed the loudest out of us all.

Or maybe it wasn't absurd… he did just call me beautiful, right?

"I'm going to get a drink," Lucy stood up meekly. "Sarah, Lily, James… come with me?"

James shook his head in disbelief at her. "Chicken."

"I don't know what you're saying, James," Lily warned her brother as the four of them left the room. "Cocky, pretty, loud-mouthed? If this was a horror film, you'll be the first to go."

I giggled at that, feeling Scorpius' chest shake with laughter too, as they disappeared into the kitchen.

Roxanne turned to Al, Fred and Louis. "Want to go scare the life out of Hugo and Molly? They just went upstairs to use the loo."

Grinning evilly, they all bolted up the stairs, trying not to laugh.

Dom, Alice, Scorpius and I shared an eye roll.

"I'm so glad I'm not Hugo or Molly," I mumbled.

"When you do manage to detach yourself from Scorpius," Dom warned, "They'll definitely get you."

"Then we'll just… become conjoined twins," I joked.

Dom smirked at me as I sat up a little, unnerved by her close observation. Scorpius grinned at me, completely clueless to Dom's suggestive lift of her eyebrow.

"Do you think we'd actually survive as conjoined twins?" He asked interestingly.

I gave him an 'are-you-seriously-asking-me-this?' smirk, then shrugged. "We could hack it."

"Brilliant," He agreed with a grin.

"How would you get round school?" Alice asked curiously. "You've got different timetables."

"McGonagall would have to switch them," I replied easily. "What else could she do…"

"What about Christmas holidays, or Easter?"

I exchanged a look with Scorpius.

"Typical married couple scenario," He replied. "We'd spend one here, and one with my parents."

We grinned. "We could totally be conjoined twins," I grinned.

Then Dom had to ruin it.

"What about taking a shower?"

I blushed a crimson red, but it was nothing compared to after Scorpius made his next comment, smirking like an idiot.

"Now that would be fun."

"Okaaaaay," Alice stood up abruptly. "I'm going to go find Fred."

Before Dom could tease her, there was a loud shriek from upstairs, followed by Molly's "I'm going to murder you in your sleep!" and Hugo shouting "Get back here, you tosspots!"

Dom got to her feet as I tried to stop myself from blushing under Scorpius' intense smirk.

"I think it just got about ten degrees hotter in here, so I'm going to make Lucy jump out of her skin."

And then she disappeared, leaving Scorpius and I alone.

I swallowed, and tried not to make the situation more awkward.

"So…"

"Conjoined twins would definitely not work," He pointed out.

"Yep."

"Cause then we'd be related."

"R…right," I glanced up at him, thoroughly confused. "That's wasn't exactly what I meant, Scorp, but, y'know…"

He rolled his eyes at me. "You're so infuriating sometimes, Rose."

Again, another apparent change in topic.

"Eh?"

He sighed, and then, in one quick movement, placed his hands either side of my face and kissed me abruptly. Not sweet or gentle or anything, just insistent and emotional.

"Oh," I breathed out when he pulled away, but kept my eyes closed, savouring the moment. "Oh."

"Please don't tell me I made the wrong decision," he gulped, and I finally opened my eyes.

"No," I hurried to tell him. "No… definitely not."

I couldn't help but lick my bottom lip, which caused him to jump me again.

We were becoming more demanding and fiery with our kisses when Dom interrupted us, Al, Fred, Hugo, Alice and Molly behind her.

"Finally!" She sighed, plonking herself down on the armchair.

Scorpius turned back to me as the others just stared at us, rooted to the spot. "I probably should have picked my moment better."

I nodded, agreeing. "Probably."

"I blame you," He teased.

"Me?" I exclaimed in mock-outrage.

"Yes, you. Wearing that stupid bikini and pretending you couldn't surf so I would teach you one-to-one all day."

I gaped at him. "How did you know about that?"

"Al's room has a window, Rose," He laughed.

"Ah…"

"Plus," He shot me a winning charm smile. "I'm your best friend - I can read you like a book. You should have jumped me on Valentine's Day, you know."

I just gawped at him some more.

How did he know about that?

Guess I hadn't been nearly as stealthy and secretive as I'd thought.

Oh well, you never really can be when it comes to best friends - they always know what you're thinking.


Firstly, I got to write about movies (which I love!), SciFi (which I love!), stick in a few subtle Castle references (which I love!), and make Fred/Roxanne twins. I liked writing this chapter! :D I put Alice with Fred because... well, becuase I thought it would be interesting. Hope you diehard Alice/Al shippers don't mind terribly for the one chapter - maybe there's an Al/Alice/Fred love-triangle...

Please review, you wonderful people! Review, tell me what you thought about this chapter, and what your favourite movie is! :D (Mine's The Mummy (1999, Brendan Fraser, baby!) or It's A Wonderful Life). :D
