Dominique is beautiful, he decides. Of course she's beautiful - she has veela blood. It's great, because she's positively fascinating and she doesn't want any strings attached either.
She pushes him into a potions closet and it's obvious that they're equals in this relationship from the way that they kiss.
They're just mindless fucks to each other - Merlin knows it's what both they need, but Dominique has something - someone to go back to. Scorpius doesn't – everyone is a mindless fuck to him.
He has no one. He doesn't want anyone.
Well, he does, but he'll never ever admit it.
