A/N Sorry it's taken me so long to upload this! Firstly I was cheering on Bradley Wiggins in the Tour de France. And then I went on holiday plus, having some mega issues in my personal life and writing about a cute, happy relationship really didn't take my fancy too much. But, I've done it. Here is Chapter Eleven. However, unfortunately this might be my last chapter in a while, I'm going away for a month... gah, long time to be without Scorpius. But when I'm back, I'll try and write like mad to get another one up quickly.
Songs: Good Time - Carly Rae Jepson & Owl City

Chapter Eleven
Rose Weasley
The next morning I'm woken with a jolt as water is splashed over my face. I scream and I hear the laughter of my room mates. I look up to see Josie, Ria, Dom and Molly all looking down on me sniggering at my sopping face and hair.
"Eugh, you guys, that was so unnecessary." I moan at them.
"Yes, but this is our way of making you stay with us for breakfast this Friday. You spend far too much time in the kitchens with your mystery person." Josie says.
"I know who it is." Gloats Ria.
My head whips round to look at her. I think I may have just given myself whiplash.
"Who then?" I challenge her, narrowing my eyes…
"Obviously, its Abrams, that's why he has his hands all over you all the time, you're secretly dating." She says smugly.
I look up at her in complete shock.
"Abrams?" I say angrily. "Fuck no. He's a bloody freak. Don't even pretend to suggest that I would even consider him. Its not funny Ria. He's a creep, I wouldn't touch his with a ten foot barge pole. In fact if I could I'd never see him again." I snap getting out of bed grabbing my wand and casting a quick drying charm before walking out and slamming the door behind me leaving my friends in stunned silence.
I walk into the bathroom and switch one of the showers on high, tying up my hair to stop it getting wet. I step into the shower and soon the familiar scent of vanilla engulfs me, relaxing me. Ria's voice rings through my head.
Its Abrams, that's why he has his hands all over you all the time, you're secretly dating.
I shiver slightly at the thought that she thinks that I would ever touch Abrams. My encounters with him are getting more frequent. He's everywhere I go, all the time, trying to corner me. It makes me sick.
I sigh slightly and turn off the shower. I will not let this boy get to me anymore.
I cautiously open the door to the dormitory but it's empty. They definitely made a good choice not staying and waiting. I get changed into my robes and walk to the common room. As I walk past the notice bored I see a big purple sign has been put up announcing that as the weather is going to get much worse by the end of term, the next and last Hogsmeade trip will be tomorrow, instead of in a few weeks time. I sigh, and walk down to the kitchens, I'm not really sure I can be bothered with Hogsmeade; I'd rather just sleep – if I can that is. I would go and eat in the Hall on a Friday, but I'm pretty sure the girls will be telling everyone what they witnessed, and I'd rather deal with that later.
I reach the portrait of the bowl of fruit and tickle the pear, which giggles and the door swings open in front of me. I heave a sigh of relief as my eyes fall upon a shock of blond hair.
"What's wrong?" Scorpius asks instantly. Merlin, he can already read me like a book. He looks up at me from where he's sitting, a bowl of cereal perched on his lap.
"The girls think I'm seeing Abrams down here." I say shaking my head slightly at him and sitting down.
He laughs. "That's ridiculous, everyone knows the guys a creep. You would never touch him."
"I know, I just don't even like the idea of it. It's horrible." I mutter.
"I know." He sighs and strokes my hair gently. "Plus you're mine anyway."
I smile begrudgingly. "Am I now?" I ask him, leaning into his shoulder.
He puts his arm round me. "Yes." He whispers into my ear.
I smile, "I'll bare that in mind."
Twinky comes rushing over. "Miss Rose, what would you like?"
"Nothing today Twinky, I'm not very hungry." I say smiling at her.
She looks shocked, and shakes her head, her big ears flapping.
"But Miss must eat." She says.
"Really, I'm just not very hungry." I say smiling at her.
"Okay Miss." She says and goes back to help the rest of the elves.
Scorpius looks down at me, a small frown creases his forehead.
"What's this new not eating thing?" He demands.
"I do eat, I'm just not hungry now." I say reproachfully.
"No. You haven't eaten properly in days. I'm worried."
"Seriously Scorp. I'm fine."
He huffs at me but stops his attack and goes back to attacking his cereal instead. I can tell he's thinking hard. After a few minutes of silence he finishes and looks at me.
"Promise?"
"I promise." I say smiling and running my hands through his hair.
"Good. Now about that date, how about tomorrow? Last Hogsmeade?" He asks.
I smile, this is worth it. "Sure, sounds good."
"Okay, meet me outside the Hogs Head at eleven?" He says grinning wider than is seemingly possible.
"I'll be there." I say, kissing him quickly on the lips.
"Good." He replies, pressing his forehead to mine.
We sit for what is too short a time, but it's Friday and we have lessons to go to. I unwillingly drag myself off to class. By the time I get to Defence my last lesson of the day, I think I may be ready to kill myself, after interrogations from at least three of my friends about being tetchy and rude to Ria. Lorcan had a go for not eating at lunch. I could've slapped him.
Clearly I'm just a horrific friend who doesn't deserve any of them.
"Rose, you coming?" Josie asks, waiting for me by the door at the end of class.
"I'll be there in a second, go without me." I tell her.
She looks at me doubtfully and I smile in what I hope is a reassuring way.
I finish packing up my things and walk out of the class alone.
Suddenly I'm spun round and I hit someone's chest. When I look up though, it's not a familiar sight of blond hair. But rather black, matched with black eyes.
"Fuck off Jake. This is so not what I need right now." I say pushing him away.
"But Rosie." He smirks. "We haven't had any alone time in a while and I think I need to remind you, how you're not meant to be with anyone else."
"I'm not Jake, not that you're going to stop me if I was."
"Like I said before Rosie. I know you. I watch you. So don't you dare lie to me." He snarls.
I glare at him; he still hasn't let go of me.
"I know about Scorpius Malfoy, and your meetings in the kitchen, whatever you tell your little friends." He says scowling at me.
"So? Fuck you. I can do what I like." I say trying to pull away.
"Oh but you can't. You do what I like. Remember?" He says pulling me away from the Great Hall where everyone else headed off to and down towards the dungeons. He pulls me into a classroom that looks like it hasn't been used in years and shoves me down on a desk holding my body down with his, I try to wiggle out from under him, but he's to heavy for me to move more than an inch.
"Don't move Rose. You'll enjoy this, I promise." He whispers in my ear. Not in the nice way Scorpius does it. In a creepy way, like he's going to eat me.
He pushes his lips to mine. Attacking my mouth with his. I don't give in. I hold my mouth tight shut. I think I'm going to be sick.
"Rose please." He moans.
He pushes his tongue into my mouth I bite down hard and he pulls back wincing.
"How dare you? You little bitch." He hisses at me. He runs his hands up my legs under my skirt pushing my pants aside. I try to knee him in the balls but his legs hold me down.
"No you don't." He growls. I open my mouth to scream but he clamps his lips over mine again biting my tongue so I can't open my mouth. His fingers push their way into me. Burning.
"That hurts." I whimper at him.
"Good." He snarls, his voice full of venom.
He curls his fingers into me. If I had my voice, I would scream in pain this time rather than panic. He forces his hands deeper inside me and I ache in pain. All I can think about is when he tries to push, something else inside me. I try to move away again but he leans against me. I pound my hands into his chest but he just laughs. Pushing down on my chest. He pulls off his trousers and removes his boxers keeping his fingers pounding painfully into me.
When he finishes, he looks disdainfully down at me as I curl up in a ball in agony.
"I'll see you around Rose." He says walking out of the door. As soon as he leaves I break down and cry. I've cheated; I'm going to have hurt him. I can't tell him, he'll be so disappointed. What am I going to do?
Slowly I sit up. I know what to do. I carry on. The same as always. I will carry on.
I will carry on. I will carry on. I will carry on. I will carry on.
I repeat in my head as I slowly rearrange myself. I dry my eyes and pull my skirt down. My fingers run over my thighs. I wince, as I feel bruises where his fingers attacked my skin. No - I remind myself I will carry on. I will not let him affect me. I pull my mind together and pull my cloak tight around me. I walk upstairs past the common room. As I go past, the door swings open and I get a glimpse inside. My friends sit with their heads together, muttering about something. I walk past and head back down to the kitchen where I appear to be spending far too much of my time at the moment.
I sit down by my oven. House elves come scurrying over, but I don't see Twinky, she must be on cleaning duty tonight.
"What can we gets for you Miss?" One asks.
"Just some…" I think for a moment. "Hot chocolate please?"
"Of course Miss."
I smile sadly at their retreating backs.
I hug my knees, pulling them right up to my chin.
As abruptly as they had disappeared they returned carrying a large mug.
"Hot chocolate for you Miss."
"Thank you." I say taking the mug. I hold it between my knees. Warming my hands on it, I didn't realise how cold I was. I take a sip, and the warmth of the liquid fills me up.
Tomorrow, tomorrow I go on my date with Scorpius. Guilt racks through me. Why didn't I push him away?
No. I can't think that. I tried. I tried. The bruises show where he hurt me, show that I didn't want it.
I shake my head slightly. I'm going crazy. This is making me crazy.
I sit, silently, sipping my drink. The activity in the kitchen gets less and less. The house elves change shifts. But still I do not move.
I look at my watch - midnight. I sigh gently and decide to go to sleep. I give my mug to an elf and head upstairs. I give the password to the Fat Lady and step into the common room. I walk past the armchairs towards the spiral staircase, as I reach them a voice calls across the seemingly empty room.
"Where've you been Rose?"
I turn round and face my cousin.
"Working in the library Al." I lie smoothly.
"No, don't lie to me, we checked there." He says angrily. "Where were you Rose? Don't lie to me. Scorp was beside himself. Where were you? We've all been worried."
"I was in the library Al." I say, trying not to cry. I can't speak about it. Not yet. "You must not have looked properly, I was right in the back."
Albus Potter sighs at me.
"Fine Rose. Don't tell me. But if you want to. We're all here for you."
He then turns round and heads up to bed.
"I know, Al, I know." I whisper as he turns the corner.
I fall up the stairs and pull off my clothes. I get into the bed and pull the cold covers around me. It cools my skin, soothing me.
I fall asleep within minutes my mind screaming in pain over the events of the evening.
XX
I wake screaming.
"Rose, Rose… are you okay?" Josie leans over me.
I feel sweat dripping down my face and I look round taking in the surroundings. Dom, Ria and Molly are sitting up in their beds while Josie leans over me.
"I'm fine… fine." I tell them. "Just a nightmare." I smile. "Go back to sleep."
They look at me concernedly, before the three in bed roll over but Josie does not move, she looks down anxiously.
"You sure?" She asks.
"Yeah." I say smiling up at my best friend.
She looks at me for a moment longer before turning round and getting back into her own bed.
I curl up in the blankets again. But this time, I can't sleep. I lie awake, until light peeps into the window and I can hear the birds calling to each other.

When I reach the Great Hall the next morning, it's deserted aside from a few people. I sit down and grab some orange juice. I'm looking forward to today a ridiculous amount. I even dressed for the occasion, wearing low-slung skinny jeans and a pair off boots along with a green vest top and a cream cardigan. I pulled a jacket over the top for warmth due to the ridiculous cold in this place. I grab an apple and bite into it.
"Hungry at last." Scorpius says as he sits down beside me.
I smirk.
"I'm always hungry." I reply tiredly. "You looking forward to later?" I ask.
"Which bit?"
"Your party?"
"Yes. But I'm looking forward to you more, Rosie." He says, placing his hand on my thigh.
I giggle most uncharacteristically. Trying not to wince as his hand grazes a bruise.
"You should be." I whisper seductively in his ear.
"Where were you last night Rose?" He asks. "I know you lied to Al. You weren't in the library. I checked."
"I was busy. Okay? Please just leave it." I say.
He looks at me appraisingly.
"Okay Rosie." He replies quietly.
"Thank you." We sit in silence for a while as Scorpius eats.
"Shall we go then? Rather than waiting till later." He asks.
"Yeah." I say smiling at him. He takes my hand under his cloak where no one can see. We sign out and head into Hogsmeade. I shiver slightly as the cold November wind hits me.
"Remind me again why we go to school here? Where it's the coldest place in the world." I ask jokily.
"Cold then?" He looks amusedly down at me.
"Yes! I'm only small, that means larger surface area to volume ratio and therefore I let more heat out." I say sticking my nose up at him.
He chuckles.
"Its true." I add. "Don't laugh." I pout and he kisses my lips.
"You look cute when you pout." He states.
I humph, pretending to be disgruntled, he chuckles again.
"Where are we going then?" I ask.
"You'll see." Is all I get for an answer.
I shrug and we continue down into Hogsmeade huddled together against the biting cold. All the shop fronts are covered in a thick layer of frost and the doors are shut tightly, those few people around hurry in and out of the buildings with huge amounts of haste so they are in the cold for the shortest amount of time that they can manage. I follow Scorpius to the Hogs Head where we stop.
"What now?" I ask.
"Close your eyes." He says.
"What?"
"Trust me?"
"Always." I agree shutting my eyes.
"Good." He takes my hand and leads me.
"Keep them shut." He says.
We walk for a few minutes; I cling onto his hand for dear life. Suddenly we stop and I feel his hands cover my eyes. His long fingers caress my cheeks.
"Right when I move my hands you can open your eyes."
He runs his fingers over my skin and removes his hands. I open my eyes. And look around me. We're standing on top of a hill, below me, is a tiny little building. In the distance I can see the start of snow that's fallen away from the small amout of heat the village provides.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"The lesser known part of Hogsmeade." He says.
"What's the building?"
"It's a café. But there's a muggle side, it's quite the experience."
He takes my hand and leads me down the hill. We slip and slide on the icy patches. When we reach the bottom he stops and I slide into his hard chest.
"Someone's keen." He says whispering in my ear.
"You wish." I reply.
"Mmm, you know me so well." He smirks.
We walk together down to the building, Scorpius opens the little red door and we go inside. There are only a few people who I don't recognize sitting at the small tables. All talking intimately. Theres no noise like in the Three Broomsticks.
As I step into the room the warmth hits me. I shrug off my coat and Scorpius hangs it on a wooden coat rack by the door. He then takes me over to a small table in the back corner of the room with a candle flickering in the middle of it.
"Scorpius m'love, what can I do for you today?" A woman says walking over smiling at him. "And who's this lovely young lady you have with you?"
"Rhonda this is Rose."
"And what can I get for you sweetie?" She asks me.
"Just hot chocolate thanks." I say.
"Me too Rhonda." Adds Scorpius.
"Of course my dears." She says and bustles off.
"What do you think?" Scorpius asks.
"Its perfect. I never knew it was here." I say happily.
"I thought it might be a place to escape. No one comes here from the school. So we can do whatever we want."
"Why does no one come here?" I ask astonished.
"Because, it's a walk and half of them don't know about it."
He takes my hand over the table and strokes my fingers.
"Rosie, you sure you're okay?"
"I promise, I'm fine, just not sleeping well again." I say leaning across the table towards him.
"We can in the room again for a while. You don't have nightmares there right?" He says kissing me.
"No, but it's cause your there... It helps you know, having someone there."
"Plus you have the party to look forward to, that'll tire you out." He winks suggestively.
"Will it now. You gonna make eyes at me again? Like last time?" I ask, running a finger down his arm.
"I'm gonna do more than that." He smirks at me.
"I'll bare that in mind." I say, smirking back at him.
"Here's your drinks m'darlings." Rhonda says coming over. "Watch the magic okay. Muggles are coming."
"Course." Scorpius says.
I watch as a pair of Muggle backpackers wonder in, rubbing their hands together to warm them up.
I laugh. "They're so cute."
"I know."
"Who'd have thought, a Malfoy thinking muggles were cute." I whisper at him across the table.
"I know right." He replies sarcastically.
I sip my hot chocolate and my mind flicks back to drinking it last night, in the kitchen. I hold myself from shaking.
I watch the Muggles sit down and order. They look around curiously, like they're out of their natural habitat.
I look round too. The delicate wooden frame of the building, twisting and turning around the roof, is like a climbing frame. I tilt my chin up and rest my head on my hand.
"What are you thinking?" Scorpius asks me.
"That I want a house like this. The wood is so warming and the fire…" I point at the glistening fire in the corner of the room. "Makes it so cosy. I love it."
"I thought you would. It's very you."
"Really?" I ask. "I'm cosy?"
"No, you're comforting, and this." He gestures around the room. "Is comforting."
I smile. He's so cute when he's romantic.
"So, what's happening tonight?" I ask.
"What?"… "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. But that's for me to know, and you to look forward to." He says.
"Oh I see." I reply smarmily. "I'll just wait and see then."
We talk for what seems like hours. When I look at my watch its almost three.
"Shit, we should eat." Says Scorpius looking at my watch too. He catches Rhonda's eye and she comes over.
"Food m'dears?" She asks.
"The usual please." Says Scorpius.
I have no idea what that is. In fact, I have no idea what is on the menu.
"The same please." I say. I have no idea what I just ordered. But never mind.
"Copycat." Scorpius whispers nudging me slightly with his foot under the table as Rhonda walks away.
"What did I just order?" I ask him.
"You'll see." Is all he says.
"What's with being so cryptic all the time?"
"I enjoy it. It's very satisfying." He replies.
"Here you go loves." Rhonda says bringing two plates. She places one in front of me. I look down, my mouth waters. Mashed potatoes with mushy peas and bacon covers the space in front of me. Holy mother of Merlin. What more could a girl want? I swear this is all my favourite foods on a plate. I look at Scorpius' plate and he's got something completely different.
"How… how did you know?" I stutter at Rhonda.
"Know what my sweetie pie?" She says with a wink at Scorpius before going back to the kitchen.
"How?" I demand of Scorpius.
"I owled ahead." He says nonchalantly, looking down at his plate and starting to eat.
I shake my head slightly in disbelief.
"I didn't know you knew what I liked?"
"I know everything darling, I am all knowing and incredible. You should know that by now." He says sticking his head up and putting on a posh voice.
I laugh.
"Yes dear, whatever you say."
"Precisely. Now eat."
When we finish it's beginning to get late.
"We should get going." Scorpius announces. "I have to go and prepare and you want to get ready with the girls right?" I shrug.
"How much do I owe you?" I ask.
"Nothing. End of story." He adds as I open my mouth to protest.
I smile slightly and put my money back in my pocket.
As we get up I catch him eyeing my body appreciatively. I mile smugly to myself. I go and put my coat on and he follows saying a quick goodbye to Rhonda.
He takes my hand and we walk back to Hogsmeade, everyone seems to have gone back now. It's pretty empty, clearly no one could bare the cold for a prolonged period of time. Scorpius doesn't let go of my hand. Frankly we're too bundled up in cloaks and jackets for anyone to recognize us. Or that's what I like to think. As I look through the cracks between the buildings, I see a dark figure between Honeydukes and the Post Office. I pull myself closer to Scorpius who puts his arm round me. I swear, that person, the dark lone figure is stalking me. I duck my head and hope with all my heart that Jake Abrams doesn't notice me.

I listen at the door to the dormitory. Squeals and laughter reach me through the wood panelling. I sigh. This is not going to be fun. I open the door.
"Hey guys." I say and silence falls.
"Um hey Rose." Ria says cautiously.
"You getting ready?" I ask.
"Yeah, you wanna join?" Asks Molly.
I start to speak but Ria interrupts me.
"Listen, I'm sorry about the other day. I didn't mean to make you mad. I promise, we just want you back." She hurries to get her words out.
"I know, I'm sorry too guys. Don't worry about it." I say smiling gently at them.
"Good." Josie says forcefully. "Now, what are you wearing?"
And then it's as if I've never been arguing with them.
Josie does my makeup and Dom chooses something for me to wear.
I end up in a black dress that's very short. Too short for my liking. It has a plunging back with a high front and row of decoration around my waist.
"Rose, any man will be throwing himself at you in that. Hell I'm holding myself off." Josie says eyeing me up.
"Seriously Josie, now is not the time. I don't want everyone knowing about our relationship just yet." I say whispering sarcastically. They all laugh.
"Rose, what's that?" Moly asks pointing to my thigh breaking our amusement.
"My leg." I reply jokingly.
But when I look down I see what she's pointing at. There's a purple bruise just visible below the hem of my dress. I pull the thing down to cover it.
"Nothing." I say sharply.
They all look at me curiously but don't say anything.
"Shall we go then?" Asks Dom.
I look at my watch. Eight twenty.
"Yeah, let's go."
We tumble out of our dormitory and run into Max, James, Fred and Will as well as a couple of other guys from Gryffindor who have been invited. We creep out of the common room and along the corridor. Luckily for us we're on the same floor as the room of requirement. When we get there the door appears and opens. Al is standing there with the Marauders Map.
"Hey, come on in." He half slurs at us, clearly trying to keep his voice straight. As I walk in, I can see why Scorpius wanted this to be a surprise. Everywhere there are balls of lightly glowing light. They light the whole room up whilst also making sure some areas are shrouded in darkness. As I move around the room I see that the walls are covered in little alcoves with sofas and each alcove has a table with a different potion on top. The music bangs out from everywhere, the sea of dancing bodies in the middle of the room jump with the beat.
"You want a drink?" Ria asks.
"Please." I say as she walks over to the bar.
"You like it?" A voice says from behind me.
I spin round and look up into silvery grey eyes.
"Its amazing. When did you do all this?"
"Some today, some yesterday." He says.
Ria comes back with my drink and when I step away from Scorpius I see what he's wearing. A black t-shirt with black skinny jeans. Not jet black, just light black. It contrasts brilliantly with his hair.
"I see you went for the colourful look." I joke.
"You don't like?" He asks looking down at himself.
"No, I love it. You look mighty fine." I say smirking at him.
Ria looks between the two of us confused then walks away. I sip my drink; there is definitely vodka in it. I can feel it burn.
"Come dance?" Scorpius asks.
I swallow the rest of my drink, feeling it burn as it seers down my throat.
"Sure."
I put down the cup and he drags me over to the dance floor, pulling me right into the middle of the crowd so I'm pressed right up against him. He takes my hips and we start to move in time with everyone else.
"Muggle music?"
"Yeah. I prefer it to all the wizarding rubbish." He says, running his hands over me.
The music moves through me. The lyrics bouncing through my head.
Good morning and good night.
I wake up at twilight,
It's gonna be alright.
We don't even have to try,
It's always a good time.
It makes me feel impulsive. I put my hands up and pull Scorpius down to me. He looks shocked at first but then knowing what I want presses his lips to mine. Crashing our bodies together. I feel people moving away a circle forming around us. I pull back and look into his eyes.
"You ready for this?" He whispers.
"Always." I reply and pull him back to me.
Suddenly I feel a hand on my back and I push myself closer to the man I'm kissing.
"Rose Weasely, what in hells name do you think you're doing?"
I turn round to face my cousin Fred. I look and see a sea of red hair behind him. I press my back against Scorpius who wraps his arms round me.
"Well Freddie, what does it look like I'm doing?" I say.
"Dad is going to kill you." Hugo gloats.
"And if you tell him. I'm going to kill you." I stare at my little brother. "Anyway, you owe me Hugo." He looks frustrated because he knows he does.
The rest of the troops, look from me to Scorpius in disbelief.
"I don't believe it. I cannot believe this. Its crazy." James shakes his head, his hair falling about like a floppy wet dog.
"Well maybe you just can believe and then we can all get on with our lives." I say to him. They all shrug and turn away. Dom comes running up.
"I'm so happy." She whispers excitedly in my ear. I can tell I'm going to have to carry her back later. She pulls away from me and runs off somewhere else. I turn back to Scorpius.
"Now that's over, shall we continue?" I ask.
He smiles slightly and leans down. Just before I close my eyes I see a pair of black eyes staring me down. But as Scorpius pulls me into our kiss I wash the thought from my mind.
"Come on, let's go and sit." Scorpius mutters to me after a while.
He pulls me into one of the alcoves and sits me down.
"Wait here, I'll go and get you another drink." He says.
"Make sure you don't get mobbed by any of my relatives." I say.
"Eugh, why do you have so much family?" He asks.
"Because apparently Weasley's all have to have as many children as possible. We're like rabbits." I joke.
He laughs
"I'll be right back." He says and strides off into the crowd.
"I told you not to Rose. I said no." I tear my gaze from Scorpius' retreating figure and my eyes land on what is frankly a disgusting excuse for a human being.
"I said you shouldn't and you did. You'll be sorry."
"No actually, I don't think I will be Abrams." I tell him.
He looks shocked at my defiance. But then grins, his eyes flashing.
"I wouldn't be so sure."
"Abrams, what the fuck are you doing here?"
Thank Merlin. Scorpius stands behind Jake with two glasses in his hands.
"Get out. Now." He demands.
Jake glowers at him and the stalks from the room.
"He wasn't bothering you was he?"
"No, just being an undeniable creep as always." I say smiling.
Scorpius sits down and hands me one of the glasses. He places a hand on my bared back and lies back on the sofa.
"You've no idea how long I've wanted to hold you in public." He says, sighing happily. I giggle turning round to face him.
"You look beautiful." He says leaning into my neck and kissing it. "But I'm not going to lie, this dress would look better on the floor." He continues.
I laugh. "I am glad you're not just with me for my body." I say winking.
"Don't be ridiculous." He says.
"I love this song." I say as a slower song begins to play.
"Come on then." He says laughing and pulling me up.
"Wait let me finish my drink." I say downing the rest.
He pulls me to the middle of the room. I wrap my arms around his neck. Not having to stand on tiptoes for once because of my ridiculous heels. Scorpius drops his head down so his mouth is next to my ear.
Well I'm not sure what this going to be
He sings along in my ear.
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you're moving in,

"Never." I reply.
