I woke up the next morning in Scorpius' arms, I remembered everything that had happened last night and I had no regrets. I know that he seduced me in my mind but he was right about it being consensual. I had had those dreams, even before I saw him on the train, and I guess without him.

What happened now?

My stomach turned at the question, I didn't want him to wake up. What if he admits that it was all a lie and this all was really just a big prank? Getting me to fall for him.

He shifted next to me.

"Good morning beautiful." He looked at me half asleep and cuddled into me. I felt my anxiety melt away.

"Good morning." I felt relief to hear his attitude was the same as last night.

"How are you feeling?"

"Great."

"Really? Well are you ready for round 2?" he said seductively

"Round 2?" I had misread the amount of room I had left on my bed and fell out onto the floor.

"Rose, are you okay?" He got up out of bed to help me. It was then that I realized we were both naked in the middle of my room.

"Don't look at me!" I grabbed the blanket and covered myself.

"Rose I've seen you naked before." he laughed

"Still. It's too bright in here" I went to go grab some clothes but he grabbed me by the waist and dragged me back to bed. I ended up falling right on top of him

"Oh no you don't." He clutched me on top of him, I settled on him and cuddled into his chest. "Should I be scared to ask what we are now?" He was looking straight into my eyes as if he was telling me to not break his heart.

"What would you like us to be?"

"What would you like us to be?" He retorted.

"I asked first."

"Well, I think my epic confession is proof enough that I would like to be more."

"That's true. Like you want to publicly be my boyfriend?"

"If you'll let me." his eye lit up.

This idea was completely crazy. How have we come this far already? I guess he's been waiting for this moment for much longer than me. But I don't think it's that simple.

"I think we should keep it to ourselves for a bit. Not that I don't want to eventually."

"I get it, you want this to be just for us. Without all the fucking judgment from the millions of family members you have."

"Honestly, your right." I couldn't argue my reasoning. We laid there holding each other for a while letting ourselves enjoy each other's company.

"I can't believe this is happening." He admitted

"I can't believe it took you so long to confess. Is that why you were so weird about Elijah." I asked

"Yea. Sorry about that. I've had quite a bit of jealous moments you didn't know about."

"Will I have to worry about your jealousy?"

"I would like to say I've matured since then, but I can't promise anything."

"Well try to contain yourself." I leaned in for a kiss.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Rose." I heard Al frantically whisper.

I jumped up out of bed and blocked the door so Albus wouldn't come in as Scorpius and I reached for any clothes we could find.

"Al?" I asked

"Yes, everyone is downstairs having breakfast, I covered for Scorp but you two need to hurry up so nothing is suspicious."

By the time he finished his rant, we were both dressed and I opened the door to let Al in. I pulled him in quickly.

"You cheeky bastard. I swear you both deserve lifetime achievement awards for your acting."

"Sorry Rosie, I knew you needed to get used to him before you finally admitted your feelings," Al admitted

"Fuck you."

"We can talk about this later. Did anyone see that I wasn't in your room?" Scorpius asked AL

"No, I said you were still asleep when I went to brush my teeth. Just come down with me and Rose come down much later."

"Okay. Good idea." I agreed

"I will give you 10 seconds to keep me away from my food, then I'll bust the door down." He said leaving us with a few moments. Al is a good friend.

"See you later, love," Scorpius said while grabbing my face and prolonging a kiss. We took so long that Al had to bang on the door to snap us out of it. With that, Scorp left with Al and I waited a few minutes to head to the bathroom before breakfast.

After I finished my business I headed downstairs to see everyone either finishing up breakfast or washing their dishes.

"Good morning everyone" I greeted the family. I headed to the table and sat next to Dominique and Roxanne, who were conversing in French like they usually do. As I ate my breakfast Alice came into the Burrow, she had left last night and would usually come back to have breakfast with us.

She stood at the end of the table next to me. As soon as I looked up and smiled at her, her eyes immediately lit up.

"I need to talk to you." She almost pulled my arm out of the socket dragging me outside.

"Is everything okay?" I asked as she pulled me far away from the house where we could have a private conversation.

"Is everything okay with your innocence?" She asked me

"What?"

"You clearly had sex last night!" She told me.

"What? How could you tell?"

"Contraceptive spell makes your boobs huge and your skin flawless, there is no way you could've healed all your pimples in a night."

"Oh shit. Is it obvious?" If Alice could see it so clearly, what if I ran into my mom or any other one of the hundreds of women that are in the house who would notice?

"It was to me."

"Fuck, I gotta go put on a hoodie and keep it on all break.

"So tell me everything."

"It was... remarkable."

"Are you sure it was your first time?" She looked at me like I was crazy.

I rolled my eyes. "Of course it was Alice, it was very good. There was some pain at first but he was able to make it go away."

"Lucky girl. I'm proud of you." She said bringing me in for a hug.

"That's not all... He told me he loves me."

"What?"

"He admitted to always liking me."

"What did you say?"

"Well...we both know I liked him. Look long story short, I have a boyfriend." I decided to stop dragging it out.

"Rose, oh my gosh!" She hugged me before pulling me off of her and looking at me with a serious face. "Your family is going to kill you, especially James."

"You won't tell him."

"Of course not."

"Then they will get over it... right?"

"Yea." She made an unsure face.

I'll really be in for it once I bring it up.

It was the last of the week of break and I was reading in my room at home. This was one of the first moments I had been alone all break and it was nice to have a moment to myself.

Before I knew it a quick flash of light had lit up one of the corners in my room.

It was then that I saw Scorpius standing there. He had come into my room via Apparation.

"Rose!" He came in panicked.

"Scorpius! It is Illegal for you to apparate." I scolded him

"They can only detect it through location not by person. Are your parents home?"

"Yes."

"Then the ministry will think it's one of them."

"Wow, that is very clever." I had to admit.

"I need you to come with me now." He grabbed me close and apparated us to Malfoy Manor.

"Scorpius! You're kidnapping me." We we got to his house all I could hear was the screams of a baby's crying.

"I'm sorry I need your help." He led me to the crib where his baby sister was bawling her head off. "My parents left me in charge of her and she has not stopped crying. I've done everything but she won't stop." He sounded extremely stressed out.

"Oh, Scorpius." I laughed at him as I picked up baby Gwen. "Did you feed her?"

"Yes I just did but she's still crying."

I rubbed her back and began to burp her on my shoulder.

"Can you get me a towel?" I asked him and he grabbed me one nearby. I put it on my shoulder and continued burping her. Eventually, she spat up a bit on the towel.

She began to calm down and stop crying. I heard her tiny breaths now that all that gas was removed.

"You did it!'

"She just needed to be burped. I can't believe you left her here alone." I put her down in her crib and made sure she was okay.

"It was only for a second."

"Still!"

"I'm sorry I've never done this before. You saw her at Christmas, she hates me."

"Don't be ridiculous, she doesn't hate you."

"She sure likes to act like it."

"As long as you don't torment or cover her in blood at any point in her life, you should be good. Then again that IS how you show love." I teased him while I set her down in her crib so that she could sleep.

"I'm sorry, and I was 11."

"I know. So want to give me a tour while she sleeps?" I said hugging him

"Of course m'lady. My bedroom is upstairs."

"Hold on there, tiger. Show me everything else first, I never thought I would be standing in Malfoy Manor."

"Well believe it baby." He smiled at me. "Well, this is the common room, nothing very special about it."

I looked around the room and was impressed, it wasn't as dark and dreary as I'd always assumed it would be but it still lacked color. But it didn't need it.

I looked up at the stained glass windows that were high above the living room, providing most of the light. It was broken up into three different windows. One with the shape of a snake, one with some sort of tree, and one with a sword. I had no idea what they all meant, but I didn't think about it too much.

"Would you like some tea?" Scorpius asked me leading me into another room. I had no choice but to follow him

"Yes, thank you."

We walked into his kitchen and I could see a small house elf walk up to him.

"Hello master," she said in a frail voice.

"Hello Honey, can you please get us a cup of tea," Scorpius asked his house elf kindly.

"Yes, Sir," she said as she walked away. As she was leaving I had a chance to take a look at Scorpius' kitchen, it was breathtaking. The walls and cabinets were matte black and the counters were white marble. I know Scorpius' mother had a hand in designing this, she looks like a woman with wonderful taste.

"Sit down." Scorpius led me to a stool at the counter while he went a grabbed some biscuits.

I was looking around in amazement, I don't think I've ever been in such a fancy house. I know my family does well for ourselves but my parents weren't the kind of people to live lavishly like the Malfoys.

"You like what you see?" he asked me putting the food in front of me.

"I knew you were spoiled but I didn't know you lived like this." I joked with him. he chuckled at my tiny jab.

"I can't complain," he said as his house elf walked up to us and handed up our tea.

"Thank you," I told her.

"You're welcome, miss," she replied to me

We were now left completely alone to slip on our tea.

"How's your break been." I asked him

"Terrible. I haven't seen you in a week.

"Don't worry we'll be at school soon."

"Speaking of which ...how long would you like to wait before telling people?

"I've been thinking about that myself. I don't know Scorpius, not for a long time but I just want to enjoy a few moments with you before I'm murdered by my whole family.

"Your so dramatic." he laughed

"Have you met James?"

"Am I that horrible?"

"It wouldn't be because of you. It's because of our relationship. We spend years hating each other only to turn around and for me to basically hand you my virginity."

"We don't have to mention that do we?"he asked.

"I prefer if we didn't."

"Gotcha, I know where you're coming from though, I'd like to see you before I am blinded by punches from each male in your family."

"I'm glad you understand." I grabbed his hand comfortingly.

"I'll do anything for you." he grabbed my hand with the hand I was touching and kissed it.

"Aren't you the little romantic?"

"I try to be." He said taking a drink

I took a sip of my tea and looked at the kitchen again. I noticed they had a huge bay window above the sink. Then on the other side of the room, I could see a random door leading to somewhere else. I believe Scorpius saw me because he quickly drank his tea and stood up.

"Come on."

"Where to now?" I asked standing up from my chair.

"The garden. Accio jackets." Then two winter coats appeared in front of us from the other room. I put on the random coat and braced myself for the snow. As we stepped outside, this lovely garden was full of vegetables, plants, and tiny creatures. I was in pure amazement.

"My mum's life's work has gone into this garden, pretty nice isn't it."

I walked around looking at all the different plants, but what caught my eyes were the mythical butterflies, I saw one sleeping on a pumpkin close to me and it had its wings out and everything. Its wings were like snowflakes, pure ice with empty patterns in the wings. It was a wonderful creature that only comes out in the winter. I looked around and noticed a lot of them fly around my head, they were beautiful.

" Oh Scorpius, this is all so beautiful, do tell your mother she's done a fantastic job." He smirked at me while I continued to look around.

"Want to see my favorite part?" He asked me, curious about what else could top this I happily agreed.

He grabbed my hand and led me to the side of the house outside of the garden gate. Next to the house was this tall shed meant for garden tools. He led me to the door and wiped his feet on the outside mat before turning to me.

"Trust me," he said before covering my eyes with his hands.

"Scorpius!" I wasn't prepared to be surprised.

"Don't peak, you'll ruin the surprise." He said as I heard him turn the knob of the door and quickly bring us both in.

"Are you ready?" He quietly whispered in my ear.

"Merlin, Scorp."

He took his hands away from my eyes and revealed the dark room we were both in. But it wasn't just a pitch black room, it was full of light creatures, a species of creatures with florescent lights as a characteristic of their external exterior. There were all kinds of creatures. Light flies surrounded a specific patch of flowers that lit up the room, they looked like sunflowers but gave off their own light. They even had my favorites, Lux jellies, the best way to explain it would be to imagine a muggle jellyfish but they light up in all different colors and floated around in the air as if they were swimming. They are the most fascinating creatures.

"Scorpius do you realize what you've been living with?" I told him excitedly

"I know they are very mesmerizing."

"More than mesmerizing."

"Your mesmerizing," he said cheekily, pulling me into him and kissing me sweetly. Call me corny but I like his moments of being cheesy.

Liking him was so familiar to me now, I thought things would be awkward for a bit, but they aren't. Everything feels so right with him. I feel like I've found this new happiness within me that I never had before, and it's all because of him.

"So where did you say your bedroom was?" I asked him and his face immediately lit up

I can't wait to go back to Hogwarts.
