„Mylady, come on in." Scorpius grinned and held the door open for Rose to enter the Room of Requirements.
"Thank you very much, Mylord. I organized the nourishments for our gathering." Rose giggled, kissed his cheek and flitted into the room, put down the food and bottles of firewhiskey.
"What are your plans? Three bottles? Rosie, this is insane."
"I am sad." She sighed and hugged the blonde. Gosh, he just smelled so amazing. It wasn't his shampoo, James didn't smell like that. It must be his own scent. Warm and comfortable and hot and close. "I really am sad that my relationship ended. Dimi was lovely and I really had such a huge crush on him. I might have been in love. Well… probably not. Not really in love. Just infatuated. It still hurts like hell, Cupcake. It does and I don't know why."
"Well, he was the first boy you slept with." Scorpius kissed her head and stroked her back to calm her down a bit. "You have been together for 7 months. That is an awfully long time. Especially for our young age. You are only sixteen and a heartbroken girl."
Scorpius was a bit surprised as Rose suddenly started crying. He drew her even closer and stroked her hair. "Rosie, Pumpkin Pie... there is no need to cry. Why are you crying?"
"Because you are right!", she sobbed, "you are so damn right! I am heartbroken! But I am not allowed to be!"
"Why should you not be allowed to be sad? Of course you are."
"No! Don't you get it? I am the one who ended the relationship. I should not be sad, because it was my decision."
"So what? Oh Rose, you can be sad even if you ended it. That does not mean you have to be cold and strong about it. You are not cold. You are strong, yes. But not when it comes to your feelings. You are such an amazing young woman, so full of love and live and laughter. You are allowed to be sad. It is okay."
Rose nodded softly and wiped away some tears. "Okay. You forgot to say that I am pretty."
"You are pretty. The prettiest girl in this room. Even the prettiest person in this room."
"That is not exactly a compliment." The red-head chuckled and kissed him on the nose. "But it is still very nice of you. I appreciate it and now I want to eat and drink some firewhiskey, pretty please."
"Well, sit down and I will get you something. And cry your heart out, if you feel the need to do so." He softly pushed her down on the pile of pillows and handed her a box of tissues.
Scorpius was really glad that Rose stopped crying rather quickly. They had sandwiches and a bottle of firewhiskey.
"Rose, you know what I always wondered?" Scorpius emptied the bottle and opened a new one. "Do you have a spell to stop your period? I mean, Muggles cannot do it. You poor girls have your menstruation every month. Do you witches have a spell for that?"
She frowned and shook her head. "You do have weird thoughts, my love. We don't have a spell, no. Are you a bit drunk, Cupcake?"
"A tiny bit. So no spell? But we have protection spells! That is great. No condoms, no pill. Easy."
"As long as you do them correctly. Imagine pronouncing it incorrectly and then boom! Pregnant. No good. So I prefer using condoms because I don't want to take hormones. You never know. Not with 16. Maybe when I am older and grown-up and live in my own flat. But the spells still are better than the pill."
"Is it weird that we talk about stuff like that?"
"Nah, not really." Rose giggled. "I talked about stuff like that with James and Al, so it's fine. We're friends, friends talk about everything! And I know, if I have a question about boys, I'll ask you. We should make an asking game! What do you think?"
"What sort of questions? We know everything about each other."
"Well, no. We hardly know any sexual stuff. What we like in the other sex, what physical appearance, you know."
"That sounds a bit childish. But why not. I am drunk enough for something like that but not too drunk to go down a road I would not want to go."
"Not yet." Rose beamed at him and kissed his forehead. "And for every question we don't want to answer, we have to take a sip from the bottle."
"Glad we do not need to take off our clothes." Scorp rolled his eyes but nodded. "Alright. You start."
"Yay! Awesome! Okay, let me think... Your favourite hair colour for girls?"
"I have a thing for brunettes."
"Really?" She giggled. The alcohol really made her girly and even more giggle-ish than she already was. "Brown hair? Like your mum!"
Scorpius made a grimace. "Do not say that, please. I do not want to hear that I have a thing for girls who look like my mum. That is creepy."
"A bit! Did you know, polar bears are all left-handed. I like left-hands. Hugo is left-handed. Left-handed people are more likely to be gay. But I don't think my brother's gay. Louis is, though. And Roxy. But she's bi, so not gay. Sorry! Misinformation!"
"It is okay!" Scorpius grinned. "And what about you? Which hair colour do you prefer?"
"Well, I really love blond. But a proper blond. Your blond. Not such a stupid ash blond. I really don't like that. But your blond is the most amazing blond I have ever seen. It is even more special than your father's. It has this... I don't know. I love it as much as I love Dom's hair."
"Does not surprise me. It is the Veela blood, you know?"
"Of course I know. Dom is quarter Veela. Vic and Louis, too. Their hair is amazing! I just don't get why... oh. Oh. You never told me! You are part Veela? That is awesome!"
"Well, my mum is half Veela. So yes, I am quarter Veela. Do not tell James, right? It is just so much fun to see him figuring out why my hair is more awesome than his although he does everything the way I do."
"But... yours wasn't like that at the beginning, was it?"
"No, because I did not want anyone to know. You know it sort of shines and glows in a very subtle way. That is why I had so much gel in it. To cover it up. I did not want to stand out."
"Well, I love your hair like it is now. You have really grown into your skin since I properly know you." Rose kissed his cheek. "It is so great and I love it."
"That is the reason why I leave it like this. Because James convinced me to try it and because you love it so much and I got a lot of positive feedback from all of your cousins and friends."
"That is great! So, what is the part you like best about your body? Not your personality, your body. Not your hair then, I guess."
"Not, not my hair. Honestly, I have no idea. I am not really comfortable with my body. I am a sixteen year old boy. Which sixteen year old is really confident? But if I have to pick a part, I would say my hands. I like how they look, because they are manly and still elegant. Weird?"
"Not at all."
"What part of my body do you like most?"
"I guess I have to say your eyes. I simply love them, they are drop-dead gorgeous. And I can read them like a book. I have never seen eyes like yours. They are amazing. Oh and I love your back. You in shorts, topless, from behind... it's a dream come true. Your back is like you described your hands: manly but still very elegant and lovely to look at."
"So my eyes, my hands and my back are amazing. Good to know."
"And don't forget your hair! What do you like best about me? About my whole me."
"Your voice. Your voice is adorable. I could listen to you all day every day. Simply amazing."
"Really? My voice? I like that. That is something else, something special." She smiled at him. "But we really have to start with the fun questions! Those were easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy."
"Oh, okay, if you want to. It is my turn, so... what was the best sex you have had so far?"
"Well, obviously with Dimi, because I've only had sex with him. We did it against a wall one time and that was great! On New Year's Eve. The other times were all missionary style. It is lovely and very good for me as a beginner. But I know I want to try out other things, too. What about you? Well, with how many girls did you even sleep?"
"You know that. With Melina, with the girl on New Year's Eve and with Carly."
"Who was the best?"
"I do not know. It was only twice with Melina, so I was very very uncomfortable and nervous. I did not really feel comfortable with Carly, either. Might have been the one at the party. But that is surely because I was really drunk and do not remember too much about it."
"Do you even know her name?"
"No... was it Amber? I like the name. Was it hers?"
"I think it was Ashley. But I have no idea, honestly." She laughed and hugged him. "What would you like to try? So, sexually seen."
"I think I am not that adventurous. Sex in the shower and in the bath tub. Against the wall sounds nice, too. And I really want to try it when I cannot see. Not with the light shut off but blindfolded. All the other senses become so much stronger when you cannot see and that must be amazing. But I think all of that has to wait until after graduation. Hogwarts is not the greatest place to have sex."
"Do you even know how many people had sex in the Shrieking Shack? Ginny and Harry for sure! Me and Dimi for sure! And I know that James had his first time there because poor Hugo accidentally surprised him as he wanted to show his friends the Shack in his first year."
"Poor little Hugo. It must have been quite of a shock for him!"
"Yeah, he wasn't really happy about it. Neither was James. So now the Weasleys and Potters and Ted usually use the Room of Requirements for it. You now, Scorp, we should make a deal. If neither of us is in a relationship at the evening of our graduation, we should sleep with each other. We are so close to each other and I actually think it wouldn't be awkward at all. I think it would be great and I would love to test the blindfolded sex."
Scorpius looked at her and tilted his head. "You are really serious about this? Because... your body is amazing and you are so adorable. And we already established in front of Al that we two will hook up at some point in time. Okay. We do it. It is a deal." He held out a hand and smiled at her as she took it.
"Deal!"
It might just be the firewhiskey talking but both Scorpius and Rose were very excited about the idea of sleeping with each other.
