A/N: Thanks HPfan29 for the reviews. Going to some slash in this chapter so if you don't want to read skip it out. You were warned! Updates may be a bit infrequent because I have all my end of year exams after half term and I have to revise! But I normally get bored and end up doing something else anyway…

Scorp's POV

The run had been pretty refreshing and I was about to enter the bath. I had plenty of time; I needed a bath after that run. I had just taken my shirt of when something strange happened. The door opened. But I had locked it; no one could get in not even prefects. I looked around to see Al red faced and panting. "Al?" I asked shocked, "How did you get in here?"

He walked towards me and just muttered "Never mind that." He was right up to my face, then putting his hands on my hips and pulling me close he moved in to kiss me. I didn't know why he was doing that but his lips on back on mine felt so good. I didn't have time to think what in Merlin's name he was doing as the feeling of electricity flew down my spine. He started nibbling my lower lip.

"Al, what are you doing? You don't have to do this, I know you're straight." I said pulling away. I wanted it to continue kissing him but there was my conscience telling me I was being selfish.

"Scorp you great idiot." He said pecking me quickly on the lips. "When you going to get it in your thick head," he pecked me again then pulled away and finished the sentence, "that I fancy you."

At these words I felt my heart flutter and my chest tighten, he'd just said what I'd been dreaming of him telling me for years. I looked into his eyes, his beautiful eyes saying, "I fancy you too Al."

"So then what are you waiting for?" Al asked breathing heavily. I put my hands in him thick hair and pulled him in closer for a kiss. Nothing was going to stop me, after having waited for a whole week for this moment. I opened my mouth to breath and before I had a chance he shoved his tongue into it, I let him move it around, putting my tongue in to his. It was heaven. It felt like all the birthdays and Christmases in the world had come early, I never wanted it to end. But Al moved his mouth from mine and started to bite my ears playfully. He moved his tongue to my bare shoulder, running it all over. I moaned as he moved it down licking my chest. His warmth against my body. "Al." I moaned.

He licked me back up happy but the groans and nipped by ears before seductively whispering, "Oh you like that don't you?" I just nodded flustered, the blood rushing to my cock. I groaned again.

"Al." I whispered. He got his hand and moved it down to my torso just at the top of my trousers. I shivered as he did. He looked so fit. I felt a hand touch my cock through my trousers and I groaned loudly. "Al." I hissed.

Al just gave me a look before removing his hand. "Don't want you to be having all the fun! Do we?" Al said. I breathed in deeply before removing Al's top. I liked his chest and it was his turn to moan. I felt his cock growing hard and stood up.

"I love you Al." I said to him. He pulled me closer and kissed me. He pushed me roughly over to the cold wall that was covered in condensation. His hands in my hair, he kissed me hard and desperately, our cocks touching and the pure pleasure of him pushing against me kissing. He moved our hips closer and started to grind on me. We were both groaning very loudly, I didn't care if anyone could hear. I could feel the hands move down to my hips and the zip of my trousers being undone. I loved having his warm hands around that area. He pulled them down so I was just in my boxers. He was about to take them off. But quickly I asked, "Al, I think we're going a bit too fast in everything. Can we slow down?" I didn't want to go so fast and have everything now. I wanted it all to be special. He'd just confessed his love to me five minutes ago. Though I was a bit scared of what Al's reaction would be.

"What?" Al asked looking hurt. It made me feel really bad. "Don't you want this Scorp? Don't you want me?"

"I do. It's just we're not even going out yer and I don't want it all to be rushed. I love you, of course I want you, it's just the fact I've been waiting so long to be with you." I said. I looked into his green eyes that were looking hurt and rejected.

"I love you too. I suppose we could slow it down." Al said quietly.

"Ok, the bath's ready now so…" I said hoping he'd pick up the gist. Al just put his shirt back on, gave me a quick peck on the check and left. As soon as he'd gone I went to the bath, turned off the taps, as the bath was about to flood and taking of my boxers walked in. My cock was still hard from the kissing so I put the Muffliato Charm around the bath and started stroking my cock, thinking of Al.

"Al." I moaned out repeatedly as I stroked faster. I just remembered his vibrant green eyes. His pale body. "AL!" I finally screamed out cumming into the bath. I couldn't think or relax so I just got out of the warm bath and then with the charm, dried myself. I put my clothes back in and walked to the library, yet Rose wasn't there. I decided to head up to the Ravenclaw tower. I had to talk to Rose. I didn't know what to do now that Al probably hated me.

I got to the Eagle Doorknocker and knocked. "For some I go fast for others I'm slow. To most people, I'm an obsession relying on me is a well practiced lesson. What am I?" the door knocker asked.

I was good at riddles and after a minute of contemplating I answered, "Time."

It opened and I walked across to try and find Rose. Everyone looked at me, Slytherins never went in but it wasn't illegal, or at least I hoped it wasn't. It was very quiet and most people were just reading the books from the massive book shelf on an alcove. The walls were white with deep blue drapes hanging, there was a statue of someone whom I didn't know and sofas dotted around the room. I found Rose sitting on her own reading a book called Treasure Island. "Rose!" I said.

"Scorp, what the hell are you doing here!" she hissed.

"I need to talk to you, in private." I said, Rose got up straight away and dragged me along.

When we were outside Rose said, "Ravenclaws don't tend to take kindly to outsiders in their Common Room, but any way what do you want?"

"Erm, I was thinking of somewhere a bit quieter." I said, irritating her more as she led me to the Room of Requirement. When I sat down I said to her, "I'm sorry Rose that I keep having to come to you for advice, I mean I know you probably don't want to hear my problems it's just I don't know what to do. You're good at these things because you're clever."

My manipulative compliment worked and she smiled at me saying, "It's ok Scorp, you can come to me any time so what's the problem?"

"Well I think Al is going a bit too fast. He's only just admitted his feelings for me today and he wants to you know. I told him and he looked really upset then he left. So do I just leave it then see if he's still ok with me or let him you know. It's just I'm worried he'll get bored then find another boyfriend and I'm not exactly comfortable with it yet." I explained, watching Rose attentively listen. It was kind of awkward, mainly because it was her cousin but also because she used to fancy me.

"Ok." Rose said, "I honestly don't know. Just don't let him force you into anything. You've got as much say as he has. See how it goes for a couple of days and if that doesn't work talk to him. Tell him what you just told me."

"Yeah, I will. Thanks for the advice. How's the OWLs preparation going then?" I asked trying to continue the conversation but also get of the subject.

"I can't believe they're only a week away. That reminds me I better go and start revising if I have any chance of passing!"

She got up so I did too, "You know Rose you don't even need to revise. You could pass them if we sat them right now." I said.

"The problem is I've not even started to revise. I'm usually sensible like mum but I don't always revise as much as I should." She said.

"Really, I started to revise about two months ago! Anyway, see you and good luck revising." As she went up to the Ravenclaw Tower and I went down to the Slytherin Dungeons, forgetting all my troubles with Al and worrying instead about the upcoming OWLs.
