a/n: So warning. You might have noticed the change in rating for this story so if you have a problem with M-ish scenes do not read after the first break in text. I'm very very sorry if anyone has a problem with this.

"You're in?"

"Aunt Ginny makes a surprisingly good argument."

"Not that surprising," Scorpius said, his tone measured. "But we're playing this my way. No funny business."

"You've hired me to run your campaign," Lorcan said. "And I will attempt to do this to the best of my ability. So you have to listen to me. Otherwise there's no point of me being here."

"I'll listen to you," Scorpius said. "But at the end of the day this is my campaign. I have to run on what I believe is right."

Lorcan sighed. "I told Aunt Ginny you were a stick-in-the-mud. But as long as you listen to what I have to say I think we'll be fine."

"Its good to have you on board," Scorpius said, holding out his hand and allowing himself a smile.

"First we have to clean up your image," Lorcan said in a businesslike manner. "You can't accept public donations from anyone even remotely connected to the Death Eaters. If they want to give it to you privately, fine. But otherwise politely decline."

"I'm connected to the Death Eaters," Scorpius said, his eyebrow raised.

"That's why you can't afford to have any of them help you out," Lorcan said.

"Most of his childhood friends are well associated with-" Rose began.

"This is an absolute no," Lorcan said. "And Rose, you know I personally appreciate all your clothes but if you want any of the older, less open minded generation to vote for your boyfriend, your skirts are going to have to be way longer."

"Dick," Rose said, stung. "I don't think the way I dress has any impact of Scorpius' policies."

"But people don't vote for policies," Lorcan said. "They vote because they like the look of the candidate. It helps that you two are…well…attractive and young and vigourous looking."

"Vigourous?" Scorpius asked. "We're not running a marathon."

"Oh yes you are," Lorcan said. "You're running the marathon of your lives. And if you win you'll be running it for the next four years."

"I'm halfway through Healer training," Rose said. "Do I need to leave? If it can help-"

"No," Scorpius said firmly. "If you leave I'm dropping out."

"Rose is right," Lorcan said. "Right now you need her to be around all the time. She might need to leave."

"Rose has nothing to do with this," Scorpius said. "She is not making sacrifices."

"Rose has everything to do with this," Lorcan said. "She's the reason you can run. Your association with the Weasleys and by extension with the Potters is the reason people will take you seriously as a candidate. Otherwise they'd just think you wanted to bring Voldemort back from the dead and help him take over the Ministry."

"You're a massive dick," Rose said. "You know that right."

"I tell the truth," Lorcan said unapologetically. "You have a lot going for you Malfoy. You're young, sincere, and have the backing of the most famous wizarding family in history. Use it properly and we'll give the Minister a run for his money."

"I don't like him very much," Rose said after Lorcan had left. "His brother was weird but always nicer."

"He's right," Scorpius said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "The only reason I can run is because of you."

"So?" Rose said scornfully. "The reason you'll be great is because of you. Who cares if you need Uncle Harry or Mum's help to get there?"

"I do," he said with a sigh. "It just seems wrong on some level."

"Well then you're being stupid." Rose said. "Look about the Healer training, I can just do it later. After the campaign."

"You aren't quitting," Scorpius said, gently stroking her cheek. "While you're saving lives I'll just ask Al to be your replacement. He won't mind."

Scorpius kissed her and she felt a sudden surge of affection for him.

"As long as you don't do this with him," she said cheekily. "I guess we're fine."

"Speaking of training," he said. "Don't you have a double shift that started approximately ten minutes ago."

"I swapped it with Travers," she said. "Now I have two double shifts next week. I thought I should be here for this."

"Well I have a free evening too," he said. "How about have some normal people fun."

"I don't think ministerial candidates have normal people fun," she said. "Its scandalous."

"I wasn't suggesting we go out and get drunk," he said. "How about a date? Right here? I'll cook."

"Well that does sound appealing," Rose said with a smile.

"And," he said, his voice deepening a little. "There's absolutely no point in me cooking you a massive dinner if we don't work up a bit of an appetite is there?"

"I like the sound of that even more," Rose said, with a slightly breathy laugh, her eyes widening a little at the intensity in Scorpius' expression.

He pulled her towards him and suddenly she was straddling him on the sofa.

"I think this is the longest we've ever gone without sex," Rose said. "I mean the last time was what? A week ago? When you announced your candidacy."

"Shh," he said, cutting her off with a kiss.

"Don't you want to take this to the bedroom?" she asked as he moved his lips to her neck.

"I highly doubt we could make it there," he mumbled and briefly wondered how he had lived more than twenty years of his life without Rose. If she went away now he doubted he could survive more than a day.

She pulled her dress off over her head and Scorpius was quite happy to see that she had forgone a bra.

He gently brushed his fingers over her nipples, feeling them harden as she moaned.

He flipped her over so she was under him. "It's a good thing your couch is so big," she said breathlessly as Scorpius made his way down her body, kissing the inside of her thigh.

He slowly pulled down her underwear, but Rose decided that she had enough of him calling the shots. That's what had always made their sex absolutely mind blowing. It was both pleasure and a competition. She unbuttoned his shirt slowly tracing his pale skin with her hands. She moved her hips a little and could feel him stiffen under her. Pleased with his body's response, she let her hands move down to the waistband of his trousers.

"You're a tease you know that," he said, his ordinarily slivery eyes almost a dark grey with lust.

"Well it has been a while," she said. "Might as well do it right."

He let out something between a grunt and a growl as she pulled his pants down and moved her body even closer to his if that were even possible at this moment.

As she nuzzled his neck she felt him enter her. He started moving his hips and she could feel something building in the pit of her stomach. He moved faster and faster and as he picked up his pace she knew she was almost at breaking point. She gasped as she felt waves of pleasure crashing over her. Scorpius always had a remarkable ability to hold out and it was only after he gave her another incredible orgasm, did he finally come.

"Built up enough of an appetite yet?" she asked, absentmindedly stroking his hair. His head was on her chest and she felt incredible contented.

"I think so," he mumbled into her skin. "I was thinking lasagna. Then we can go for round two while it's in the oven."

"Lorcan was right," Rose said with a mischievous smile. Scorpius lifted his head up and looked at her enquiringly. "You are quite…vigourous."

a/n: So after a complete lack of Rose and Scorpius action in the last few chapters I thought you might like it. But I could be wrong too. Anyway tell me what you think of this. Its the first time I've actually written something that was so blatantly a sex scene and I hope I didn't mess it up too badly or use too many cliches. Its just its quite difficult to write a good sex scene isn't it? Anyway I hope you liked this and please do tell me what you think. Oh and what you think of Lorcan too. Because I quite like him tbh. :)
