A/N: For the Slash/Femmslash BC (trouble) and If You Dare (Careful is My Middle Name). And, of course, for Paula.
Scorpius Malfoy is trouble.
"My dad warned me about him," Rose says. "Told me not to get too close."
"Will you?" Albus asks.
"No."
"Me neither."
OoOoO
It's a lie, of course. Albus gets close, so very close. They meet in darkness, exchanging kisses and whispered promises.
Scorpius Malfoy is dangerous. He's cold as ice and so above it all. Albus should run. He knows he should.
He doesn't.
OoOoO
Rose catches them. After Scorpius rushes away, all blushing cheeks and annoyed muttering, Rose confronts her cousin.
"You said you wouldn't, Al!"
"I lied."
"He's trouble."
Albus only shrugs because he can't deny it.
"Be careful, okay?"
Albus gives her a small, crooked grin. "Careful is my middle name."
