Chapter 6: Melting Muggle Brains.
After the mayhem of Al and Jordie I felt exhausted. I needed a pick me up. "I am going to get a Drink would anyone like anything?"
"Yes!" Al and Jordie said in unison. They then proceeded to glare at each other as if mad they answered at the same time. Real mature guys!
"Do you want anything to drink, Scorpius?" I look over at him.
"Pumpkin Juice, if you don't mind." He answered.
I made my way back to the kitchen and Scorpius followed behind. He obviously didn't want to stay in the same room as them. I went in the fridge to get the drinks when it hit me; we were supposed to be Muggles, that is what the whole project was about and as far as I know Muggles didn't drink Pumpkin Juice. "Scorpius, if we are going to be Muggle teens we have to eat like Muggle teens. How would you like a soda?"
"What's soda?" He asked wryly.
"You have never had a coke?" I couldn't believe it. He had never had one before. This was simply unacceptable.
"Nope. I grew up in a very strict Pureblood family. If it weren't for class, I would not know about half he things in your house."
"Really? Really? Oh you have to try this." I reached in the fridge and grabbed an ice cold can of coke. I handed it to him and he looked at it suspicious. "Just try it. For me?"
"Alright. Well, how do I open this bloody thing?" He held the can upside down and looked all around the can for a way to open.
I grabbed on to his hands to hold the can upright. "Pull the tab up here." I pointed to the tab on top of the can. "It will give you an opening to drink out of. But careful-" He pulled the tab and soda came flying out to his face.
"This soda has been bewitched. IT SPIT ALL OVER ME!" He said angrily.
"No, it has not been bewitched. You shook the can too much, it makes the carbonation expanded thus causing the soda too...spit at you." I told him in-between a fit of giggles.
"Oh, stop." He was red with embarrassment. "I still think the carbo-nation is bewitched."
I laughed some more while handing him a towel to clean up with. "It's carbonation, not carbo nation. This is not America we are talking about."
He cleaned his face as well as he could. But couldn't get it off his shirt. "What is it anyways? Is it going to kill me?" He asked acting worried.
"No, silly, it is just the bubbles. It is in butterbeer as well." His perfectly pink mouth made a perfect 'O.'
"Guys seriously what is taking so long?" Jordie bust into the kitchen with Al trailing at her feet. I am guessing Al didn't want to be left out.
Scorpius and myself had not realized we were leaning into each other and snap apart when they came in. "Scorpius had never had a coke before so, I was showing him." I told them and they both eyed us suspiciously.
"Did you like it mate?" Al asked.
"Haven't tried it yet. It exploded on me before I could even taste it." He told us with a slight bit of bitterness.
"Go on then." Jordie motioned towards the can.
"Here goes nothing then." Scorpius picked up the can and took a giant swig. He scrunched up his face and shook his head as the bubbles made their way to his nose. He opened his watering eyes, "Wow, that shit is strong. You swear there is no alcohol?"
"None." Al clamped his hand on his back. Scorpius let out a loud burp. "Gett'er out son." Al said in a horribly fake American accent.
"What was that?" He looked scared at his own stomach.
"Haven't you ever burped before?" I asked surprised by his reaction.
"Malfoys never burp!" Scorpius said and Jordie mocked behind him.
"Right..." Al and I said together. The whole room erupted into laughter. Thank Merlin we did, our laughter seemed to cut most of the tension.
After the laughter calmed down. We made our way into the living room with Muggle snacks, junk food and drinks. We all sat around the coffee table on the floor, eating while I looked up our first assignment of the project.
"Alright, so it would seem today's assignment is watch TV. We must watch at least one cartoon, one movie, a sitcom, a game show, a reality show and some Music Television."
"How are we going to watch music?" Scorpius asked while be grabbed a handful of Chez-Itz.
"There are these things called Music Videos. It's like a really short movie with no other sound but a song." Al explained.
"I don't get the point."
" There is not point, Scorpius. It's Muggles." Jordie pointed out.
"True." Al agreed.
"So, after we are done with TV. We must write our own summary of the shows we watched and how what we saw can affect the mind sets of Muggles. Also, we need to explain the powerful effect of Muggle commercials and how they can quote put Muggles under a spell UN-quote. Then, based on what we saw we need to come up with our own Muggle activity to do tomorrow."
"It all sounds simple enough." Al agreed.
"All but the writing. I HATE writing." Jordie complained.
"Well good for you we only need to submit on copy for tonight's assignment." I explained.
"Oh, thank Merlin!"
"So, whats first?" Al asked.
"Best we just go down the line." I answered getting up to get the remote on the couch and turning on the TV. I tuned into the first child station I could find. The beginning credits were still on the screen, so the show had just started. I sat on the couch and tried to concentrate.
This really was a mindless television show, it served no educational value at all. Really, how would a pineapple stay at the bottom of the sea and not decay? Why would a sponge choose to live in it? The sponge isn't even the kind of sponge found at the bottom of the ocean, it is one used to clean with. This is the epitome of stupid. Why the hell is the pet snail meowing like a cat? Shouldn't said snail be talking like the rest of the animals? Or is said snail being held prisoner by dish sponge? So many questions were running through my head, I had to write them down. I grabbed the note book given us and just started jotting my thoughts on the sheer stupidity of this show. I am sincerely surprised the Muggle children's brains have not melted away...
When the show was over, I looked over at Jordie and Albus who had dazed expressions on their faces with their mouths slightly agape. "Well that was um..." I looked over at Scorpius who was trying to find the right word for what we had just witnessed.
"Try, stupid." I answered.
"Yep. Stupid. That is the word." Scorpius clapped his hand together loudly.
This snapped Al and Jordie out of their daze. "Huh?" Al way the first to speak pushing his glasses far up his nose.
"We were just saying how stupid we found this show." I informed him.
"I rather enjoyed it." Al said.
"Yeah, sure it was not the most accurate but it was entertaining to say the least." Jords pipped in. Scorpius and I just rolled our eyes. Was that a moment? Did I just have a moment SHM(SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY... too long to keep thinking his full beautiful name out. Anyways, did I just have a moment with SHM? I think I did. HELL FUCKING YES!
"Rose, Rose" Aww shit I tuned out again. Great Just fucking great "ROSE." Aww there I go again.
"Yes?" Scorpius went to open his mouth but I beat him to it, "I know, my mind jumped ship again," I smiled. "What's up?"
"We need to put a movie on." I changed the channel to the first movie channel I could find. A dark movie was on. Everything looked blue tinted.
"You're impossibly fast, and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change color, and sometimes you speak like-like you're from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don't go out in the sunlight. ... How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"How long have you been seventeen?"
"A while."
"I know what you are."
"Say it. Out loud. Say it!"
"Vampire. ("Oh, he is going to kill her...suck that blood right up!" Al said rubbing his hands together.)"Are you afraid?
"No." ("You should be!")
"Then ask me the most basic question: what do we eat?" ("Blood! Duh!" Al has always talked through movies. )
"You won't hurt me. ( "Oh how wrong you are!" He takes her arm and leads her, walking fast! She really should be scared for her life.) Where are we going?"
"Up the mountain. Out of the cloud bank. You need to know what I look like in the sunlight."
(They fly. Sort of. It is more of strange run. His legs are moving but his head is still. Not very good graphics at all. "Why would he take her to the sun. He is going to burn!" Scorpius ask.)
"This is why we don't show ourselves in the sunlight. People would know that we're different. This is what I am."
(Edward walks into a sunbeam and he ... sparkles? "What the fuck is this shit? Al and Scorpius start yelling absurdities at the tv. )
"It's like diamonds. You're beautiful." ("He is isn't he?" Jordie was drooling at him. "Don't you think he kinda looks like that kid that died in Triwizard Cup when our parents were in school? What was his name...Cedric?" No one answered me. )
"Beautiful? This is the skin of a killer, Bella. I'm a killer."
"I don't believe that." ("Well you should. He is going to suck your blood!" Albus was getting frustrated with the girl on TV)
"It's because you believe a lie. A camouflage. I'm the world's most dangerous predator. Everything about me invites you in. My voice, my face, even my smell. As if I would need any of that. As if you could out run me. As if you could fight me off. (He shows off his powers, of running fast, breaking and throwing trees. The boys seem to enjoy this bit at least.) I'm designed to kill."
"I don't care." ("Stupid girl! He is going to kill you!" Al was now yelling at the TV.)
"I've killed people before." (Let's get to killing her!")
"It doesn't matter." "I wanted to kill you. I've never wanted a human's blood so much in my life." ("KILL HER!")
"I trust you."
"Don't".
"I'm here. I trust you."("KILL HER!")
"My family, we're different than others of our kind. We only hunt animals. We've learned to control our thirst. It's you. Your scent. It's like a drug to me. Like my own personal brand of heroin." ("Aww that is so swe-" Jordie started "KILL HER!" but was interrupted by Al.)
"Why did you hate me so much when we met?"
"I did. Only for making me want you so badly. I still don't know if I can control myself."("Why am I not your own brand of heroin?" Jordie asked Al. "Because, I am not a fag!" Al replied.)
"I know you can."
"I can't read your mind. You have to tell me what you're thinking." (Since when do vampires read minds?)
"Now I'm afraid."
"Good."
"I'm not afraid of you, I'm only afraid of losing you. I feel like you're going to disappear."
"You don't know how long I've waited for you. And so the lion fell in love with the lamb."("This is so dumb." Scorpius drawled lazily.)
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
(They proceed to lie in a meadow and they stare at each other. "This is so romantic." Jordie gushed. "This is vomit worthy" Al added. )
"About three things I was absolutely positive: first, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn't know how dominant that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."
"We need to changed this shit!" Scorpius yelled.
"I'll do it!" Al got up and grabbed the remote before I could protest. "Okay then, time to pick something good." He sat on the bigger couch in the room, opposite of the love seat I was residing on. "Oh yes, perfect movie." Al selected the movie and got comfortable. I didn't read the title.
"My back is hurting. Rose, do you mind if I join you on the sofa?" Scorpius asked with pleading eyes. Cha, like I would mind.
Play it cool, Rose. Play it cool, "Of course not Scorpius." I moved over to the other side to give him some room. He sat and felt the couch give a little where his perfect butt rested.
It seemed to be an older film, the fade age of the colors. The scene is somewhere in the middle east. Probably Iraq or something. There is a priest at an archeological dig. He is talking to some people about the dig. Then looks over at two dogs fighting. He stands in between two statues representing good and evil.
The movies progressed slowly but quickly picked up. It turned out to be a about a little girl possessed by the devil himself. During a particularly awful scene Jordie crawled in the shelter of Al legs. At one point I would have done that. Al has always protected me. But he didn't look to be in the mood to be protecting I guess. He worn a hard expression on his face as Jordiehid under his legs. But he didn't push her off. For that I give him credit. Now, if only I could go crawl up to Scorpius. I bet that would make me feel loads better. But can I? No, no I can not! What do I have to protect me? I have a stupid arse throw pillow that's what I have. Man, I wish I could have though big strong Quidditch arms wrapped around me protecting from the awfully scary little girl. I don't think I want a daughter now. Oh, but I bet Scorpius and I would make such a cute little girl. As long as she is not possessed by a demon or anything. She would look just like Scorpius I hope. Now, I want to have kid with him. But not soon. But we could practice making them...right now that would be good so I don't have to watch her carve a cross in her cookie (read:Vagina...Mum always called it a cookie). I hid under the pillow and tried thinking of something other than this movie. My mind went to all the things I would like Scorpius to do to my cookie. I think I really have problem here. I just may like Scorpius a tad to much. It be becoming an obsession. Eek!
At this point I pretty sure I am not leaving the safety of behind the pillow. Whatever is going on in that movie does not need to be seen by my eyes. I feel something grab and I almost let out a scream. I turned to see Scorpius pulling my body on top of his. My first instinct was to pull away but thought better of it. If he is offering, I am taking. Truth be told!
I snuggled into his chest relishing in our closeness. I had never been so close to him before and felt intoxicated by his scent. I breathed in deep, his smell filled my nose. I loved it.
He bushed his slender fingers against my face pushing hair back. He leaned into my ear whispering softly, "You can look up, now" The feeling of his breath sent shivers down my spine, making my Weasley Red burn bright on my face. It took me a while to realize what he had said. I registered it as my cue to move. I sat up making my way over to the arm rest and grab my pillow when he caught my me to bring back towards his chest. I thought I was going to die. At least I would die the happiest I could. When he motioned for me to lay on him my face burned even hotter. I couldn't believe that he wanted me to lay with him. I was on cloud nine. I laid back down and he smiled at me. I smiled back making myself cozy in his embrace. He ran his fingers through my hair making everything feel wonderful. I hadn't felt so safe since I was little girl looking toward my father for protection.
The movie was over far too soon and there was longer a reason to hold on to Scorpius. We all sat up and stretched after being sat for far too long. As Scorpius did I could see his slightly hairy belly pop out of the bottom of his shirt. I sure I need a new pair of underwear now. "Rose, is their a restroom I could use?" He asked.
Surprisingly, I heard him the first time, but did not get to answer as Al beat me to it. "Yea, mate, I'll take you too it." The boys disappeared to the back of the house where the bathrooms were located.
"That was the worst movie EVER!" I told Jordie sitting back down on the couch.
"Agreed." Jordie said shaking her hair out of her braid letting her pink cascade down her back. "But you are Scorp looked rather cozy."
"He was being a gentlemen because I was scared." I argued.
"Mmhm." She folded her lips in so they were barley visible.
"It's true. He was just being nice." I tried to reason with her.
"Whatever, Rose stay in denial." She said right as the boys walked in.
"What is Rose in denial of?" Al asked sitting back down on the couch but further way from Jordie.
I gave her a look telling not to say anything. "Oh, nothing for you guys to worry about." They both shrugged.
"Oh, so Rose. Hugo said he was taking off to my house. Lily and him are going to do potions assignments." Al told me.
"Alright." I smiled at him. Scorpius sat down next to me. I felt my Weasley Red creeping up at the closeness again.
"So, what is next to watch?" Al said grabbing a handful of Jelly Babies.
"It looks like a sitcom is next." I said going over the assignment.
"What is a sitcom?" Scorpius asked.
"It is a situational comedy. Muggles have short ½ an hour TV shows, where the whole thing is based on the comedy of awkward situations." I explained.
" So its supposed to be funny, right?"
"Exactly." Al said looking for a show. "Oh here. This is a great show. Aunt Monie used to show us this one remember."
"Al, I think you broke the TV. All the color is gone." Jordie said.
"No, its was made in black and white. It's I Love Lucy. I love, I Love Lucy!" I squealed.
The show started and we were all in stitches by the end. It was the one where Lucy and Ethel tried saving the chickens from getting sold. They had the bright idea of buying eggs at the market. But unbeknownst to them Ricky had come home early to rehearse the dance. In a rush Lucy and Ethel stuffed their clothes with the bought eggs, and Lucy danced. At the end of the dance Ricky had on smashed all the eggs on Lucy. I had never seen Scorpius laugh so hard. I guess even wizards like slap stick. In the end the chickens end up laying the eggs.
"Isn't that always the case?" Al said changing the channel. "At the end, everything always works out."
"I think that is the point," Jordie pointed out. "It's to leave you feeling good."
"I agree." Scorpius said, still breathing heavy from the laughter.
"God, I am getting tried. How do Muggles watch so much TV?" I said.
"Why don't you lay down?" Scorpius asked. "I don't mind. You can put your head on my lap."
I didn't even think it completely through when I laid down. I relaxed almost instantly, until I realized how close I was to his manhood. Now all my thoughts are lost his junk and not what was going on around me. I was lost in thoughts of all the things I wanted to do to him and his little friend. Before I knew it I was being shaken wake. "Rosie, wake up."
"Mmm, Scor." I moaned. I registered what I had said and snapped up covering my mouth. I can't believe I just moaned his name. I open my eyes and let my vision clear, to see Scorpius looking shocked.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, sorry Scorpius. I was just startled." Holy fuck, I cannot hide my embarrassment.
"Why do you call me Scorpius?" He asked with head tilted to side in the most adorable way.
"What do you mean? It is your name." I asked confused.
"Yes, but no one calls me by my first name. Only my Mum."
"I am sorry," I told him, afraid I had upset him. "If you want I can start calling you Scorp."
"I don't know I think I like you calling me Scorpius." He told me. I swoon.
"Then I shall continue to call you that." I smile at him.
"Good." He smiled back.
My cheeks burn. I looked around for Al and Jordie. "Where have the other two gone?"
"They went home about an hour ago. They got into a another scuttle and stormed away. I didn't want to wake you, looked so peaceful, so I watched TV to let you rest. Quite addicting."
"An hour ago? I should not have kept you that long. I am so sorry."
"It's fine, Rosie. But I better be going soon. It's going to six and I assume you father will be home soon and I don't think he take to much to a Malfoy on his couch."
"Sadly, you are probably right." We got up and walked towards the kitchen fire place. "Well I guess this is good bye."
"Yeah, I'll send you one of thoughs text things tonight to go over the essays." He gave a one armed hug- The best hug of my life. And like that he was engulfed in green flames.
I went back down the couch we and laid my head back down where we sat. The pillow that had been at his side still smelt of his cologne. I hugged it close to me. His seat was still warm from his butt. I closed my eyes to finish my dreams of all the things I wanted to do to Scorpius and his fine arse.
A/N:
Finished another Chapter on my lunch at work! Please Review!
Now then, I have no idea what television shows are on in the UK shown. So I picked some American ones that might be shown.
The first one I described was Spongebob Squarepants. As you might be able to tell... and you also might be able to tell that I don't like the show.
The first Movie I did was Twilight. Now I love Twilight, but I also love to make fun it as well. Plus, don't you think that in the Potter verse that Twilight type vampires would be kind of a joke?
Next, I did the Exorcist. I have never seen this movie and I never intended to. I am a real chicken. As to how I knew about the movie. I googled it. Simple as that.
Lastly, I did I Love Lucy. THE GREATEST SHOW EVER. Enough said.
As always please review.
Much Love,
Harlow.
