CHAPTER 2

The next morning Scorpius found a letter on his side table that just simple read 'Good Luck'. He smiled and got dressed it was Saturday so no one had classes and he had all weekend to get a hold on Anita without worrying over what the students and teachers would think about their absence. Of course knowing Anita and how stubborn she was he knew it would take longer than two days to mend what had been broken.

Anita got up early and decided to take a walk around the school. It was silent and Anita enjoyed being the only one walking in the corridors. Anita headed to the 7th floor she knew no one would come across her here so she would be able to think without interruption. Anita wanted nothing more than to be on her own and for it to be her choice whether she married Scorpius. Before the incident in their third year Anita would have gladly married him.

Anita glanced at the large door that had appeared suddenly, she knew there shouldn't be a door there. With hesitation Anita opened the door and found a beautiful living room with a fireplace and large couch. On the couch sat a very naked Scorpius Malfoy.

"Get dressed you idiot!"

"You know you like it Anita"

"No I don't now get dressed!"

Scorpius took his time getting dressed attempting to tease Anita. He knew he shouldn't have done what he did but he couldn't have given up the chance to see Anita blushing and angry at the same time.

"Where did the door go Scorpius?"

"It's gone and won't appear again until we've made up"

"Then we'll die in here because I won't forgive you for what you did!"

"I didn't do it to hurt you, the 7th years in my house made me! Said they would do it if I didn't, and I didn't do it did I?"

Anita looked away she knew he was right that he had stopped before he hurt her. Still she wouldn't be able to forgive him.

"They put a potion in my drink and yours. They told me to take you up to your room and lock the door, get you comfortable and wait for the potions to kick in. You remember don't you no matter how much you try to forget"

Anita felt the tears well up at the memory. It was when she felt her heart shatter and knew she wouldn't ever feel again.

"I remember Scorpius, it's all too clear"

Scorpius took a few steps towards Anita and tried to wrap his arms around the now crying girl. She jerked away not wanting to feel his touch. Anita backed away from Scorpius and went to the bathroom. She needed to compose herself and get this grimy feeling off her body. She felt like she had done something wrong. She cut the water on and stripped then stepped in the tub pulling the sheer curtain closed and let the hot water beat on her shoulders.

Scorpius took a deep breath and began to strip. He knew what he wanted but he also knew what he needed to do. What Anita needed so that they could leave this place and go on with their lives and be together. He loved her and had kept the distance because he was afraid of how hurt she had been. He could tell it would be hard to get her to trust after what he had done and after he had whored around for the past 4 years.

Anita heard the door to the bathroom open but kept her eyes shut she didn't want to see Scorpius. She didn't want to even think about him right now.

"Let me join you."

Anita couldn't get out a single word before a naked Scorpius opened the curtain and stepped in the tub with her. He was at least 6'2'' and she was only 5'5''. His chest was broad and tan his muscles defined. His hair was wet now and hanging in his eyes. He pulled Anita into his arms and let her body mold to fit his not making any moves to touch her further.

"This is how I wanted it to be Anita, I wanted it to always be our choice"

"Scorpius. Get out"

Scorpius didn't argue he just did as she said and left her alone to her thoughts. Anita leaned against the wall and took deep breaths. She knew she would have to take charge or else she'd loose herself to him. She would lose all reserve and fall just like she had 4 years ago and she was determined to not let that happen.
