"Watching you, one would think you were the Ravenclaw,", Albus' said, lazily drawing on Scorpius' naked back with his fingers and making trails of fire on his skin. It's too warm out, so they had decided to study for the O.W.L.S on the supposedly cooler Slytherin dorm, but it's still too warm to concentrate properly. Albus and Scorpius had took off their shirts to try and see if it got any cooler, but alas.
"Yeah, Rosie, relax,", Scorpius drawled, splayed around, having quitted studying for the moment, watching Albus' shirtless form through the reflex on the glass. He thanked Merlin the lake was dark coloured.
Rose, who was wearing a short summer dress, huffed, eyes fixed on the pages in front of her.
"Well, sorry I have to study, you two pricks,", she hissed, closing the books and laying on top of Scorpius, her weight familiar and comfortable. "Why it's so hot..."
"Global warming?", Albus suggested, his fingers leaving Scorpius' skin to doodle on Rose's arm, and the thin dress wasn't enough to make Scorpius not feel like it would be to touch her skin. Rose shot Albus a murderous look.
"Do you even know what global warming is, stupid?", she asked, rising up a little, and Albus shrugged, putting the quill Rose had let go behind his ear. She laid back again, and Scorpius sighed as Albus laid on top of Rose. "Let go, you're too hot!"
"Thanks, you too,", Albus replied, Scorpius watching as Rose blushed, and Scorpius laughed until Albus' eyes turned to him. "You too, Scorp, don't be jealous."
That shut him up, the warm shade of blue coming from Albus' mouth shocking him. Was he... Reciprocated? Merlin, that was just like in his romance novels. He tried to ask himself what would Leo do, but came up with nothing.
"Aww, you made Scorpius short-circuit,", Rose pouted, making Scorpius blush. "It's kind of cute, really."
"You never call me cute, Rose,", Albus pouted, and she giggled, her laugh reverberating through him.
"You're both cute.", she decided.
The three of them fell into comfortable silence, only noticing when they fell asleep when Lily and Persie woke them up screaming, throwing water balloons at them, and the trio scrambled to move away, soaking wet.
"Persephone Malfoy, what is this?!", Scorpius hissed, at the same time Albus asked Lily the same question, noticing Hugo behind them, holding a bucket filled with balloons. Rose simply glared at her little brother.
Persie sniffed, faking worry, and Scorpius kept staring at her.
"I saw a half naked cuddle pile, big brother, and I called Lils and Hugo to check out if my brother's purity was still intact."
"I'm half worried you entered the male dorm and half tempted to send a letter to our parents,", he decided, frowning, feeling the water trickle down his back. Persie looked at him with a glare in her dark eyes, and he knew nothing good was coming out of her mouth from that point onwards.
"You do that, and I tell dad exactly what about the books you ordered were about. And yes, I'm talking about the trashy romance novels,", Persie declared, crossing her arms.
"You wouldn't dare."
"I, too, thought the way Leo touched Azalea - ", she started, way too loud, attracting the rest of the group's attention, and Scorpius clamped Persie's mouth shut, hissing he wouldn't send any letters about this.
The problem trio leaves the older trio in the dorm soaking wet, laughing like nothing happened. Albus sighs, passing a hand through his wet hair, and Scorpius does his best to not stare at both, Rose drying their books with spell after spell, gold in her mouth bright and shiny like the sun.
"How did even they get balloons…?", Albus muttered, worried blue, and the two of them joined her, their colours mixing, forming greens and purples and oranges and blacks, all of varying hues to the point Scorpius' head swam. Their colours make prettier colours together, and that's enough for now.
