Rose landed in the Magical Transportation Office at the Boston branch of MACUSA.
"Hello, you must be Rose Weasley. Welcome to Boston! Minister Granger-Weasley called earlier and said we should expect you," a tiny, raven haired girl rapidly spoke. "I'm Elena Martinez. How can I help?"
"Martinez?" Rose asked.
"Yeah," Elena rolled her eyes, "my mom is the President of MACUSA. I'm pretty much your American counterpart. Luckily, I work over here in Boston and she's in New York. I just fell in love with New England when I was at Ilvermorny. I didn't want to leave."
"Speaking of Ilvermorny, I'm not sure if my mum mentioned the reason for my arrival?" Rose prompted.
"She just said that you needed to track down one of your fellow Brits. Is the person in trouble? Do we need to get the Aurors involved?" Elena asked.
"Oh he might be in considerable trouble, but it's nothing magical security needs to be concerned about," Rose assured.
Elena smiled, "Fair enough. I'll escort you over to Ilvermorny. Do you mind side-along apparition?"
"Well I don't love it," Rose said thinking of the nauseous feeling that always accompanied side-along, "but it's a necessary evil".
"I think I'm going to like you, Rose," Elena grinned, "grab hold!" With that the pair of witches disappeared with a pop.
They landed on the grounds of Ilvermorny. The campus was hidden high in the Berkshires and was hidden away from prying muggle eyes by a layer of magical fog. Rose glanced around at the school. The giant stone buildings had ivy growing up the walls. She spied the quidditch pitch with the stands built into the sides of a valley.
Elena chuckled at Rose's awe, "I'd be happy to give you a tour if you'd like. Or I can bring you directly to your friend. Who is it that you're looking for anyway?"
"Scorpius Malfoy, he's here studying advanced healing," Rose replied.
"Oh Scorpius? He's yummy!" Elena said with a wink. Rose growled.
"You know him, do you?" Rose hoped that her new friend hadn't been one of Scorpius's American conquests.
"He mostly keeps to himself. He works in the dungeons of the research building over there," Elena pointed to a low, flat building in the distance. "He's been eye candy for all the older girls since he got here. Not that he ever gave any of us the time of day. Why the sudden visit?"
"We've got some things that we need to discuss. He's my best friend and we had a falling out," Rose sugar coated. "I need to see about repairing the damage".
"Men can be so thick at times," Elena commiserated. The witches continued their small talk as they walked briskly to the research building. When they reached the door, Elena tapped her wand on the door and a metallic voice rang out.
"Please state your business".
"Elena Martinez and guest here to see Scorpius Malfoy. Authorization code 9-109". Rose couldn't help but be impressed by the security system as the door clicked open. "We've got a lot of flights of stairs to descend, let's go," Elena said.
Finally, Rose and Elena arrived at the base of the staircase in the lowest level of the dungeons. Rose noticed an older wizard sitting at a desk at the end of the long sparsely lit hallway.
"Ah, Miss Weasley, I thought I'd never get the chance to meet you," he said with a friendly smile.
"You know who I am?" Rose asked.
"Of course. Scorpius rarely shuts up about you. I'm Professor Burroughs, his advisor".
Rose recognized the name from her correspondence with Scorpius over the years. "How do you do?" she held out her hand.
"You Brits and your formalities! Bring it in," Burroughs squished Rose into an awkward hug.
She laughed at his forwardness. "Is Scorpius here?"
"He arrived late last night. Hasn't left the lab yet. I'm suspecting that your presence here and his reemergence are related? Head on in and see him. But be careful, he's in a rage".
Rose knocked on the door to the lab. She heard glass smashing inside the room. "GO AWAY!" Scorpius roared. Rose bravely pushed the door open and stood in the frame. Scorpius was across the room looking like a wounded animal. His hair was standing on end from where he had been yanking at it. His hands were bleeding profusely. He wheeled around to face the door "BURROUGHS, I TOLD YOU NOT TO DISTURB … Rose?" Scorpius blinked as though convinced he was hallucinating. "What are you doing here? You can't be here!"
"We need to talk, Scorp," Rose said calmly. She was scared to send him over the edge.
"What's there to talk about? Huh? Everything is a FUCKING DISASTER!" Scorpius screamed and flipped a table upside down. Papers scattered across the room and glass vials and beakers shattered on the stone floor. Scorpius didn't even flinch when some of the glass shards imbedded themselves in his bare feet.
Rose drew her wand, aimed for his chest and said, "Stupefy". Scorpius froze in an instant and crashed to the ground. She called out to the hall, "Elena, Professor Burroughs can I get some help in here?"
Two heads popped around the corner of the door frame. Elena gasped at the ruins of the laboratory. Professor Burroughs chuckled, "What a mess! No matter now. I'll leave him to sort it out when he's back in his right mind." He levitated Scorpius's limp body. "Where to Miss Weasley?"
"Can we get him back to his place in Boston?" Rose asked.
"I've got a floo in my office that's connected. When he comes to, let him know that I expect him to stay away from the lab for a few days. I'm sure he'll have no objections now that you're here," Professor Burroughs said.
Hours later, Rose was puttering around Scorpius's townhouse. It was a lovely building in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston. Scorpius remained unconscious and was now bound to a chair in his sitting room. Rose wasn't going to take any chances this time of him avoiding a proper conversation. She hoped that he would be honest without the use of the Veritaserum, but she was prepared either way.
After healing Scorpius's wounds, Rose had called upon Elena for some assistance in navigating the city. She exchanged a handful of Galleons for US dollars and went for a walk around the Boston Commons. She marveled at the beauty of the city while she contemplated how to handle the impending conversation. Once she felt that she had steeled her heart enough, she returned to Scorpius.
His townhouse, though impeccably decorated, was devoid of many personal items. Rose supposed that he might have packed away everything when he moved back to England months ago, but for now the house felt very lonely.
Rose sat on the love seat on the opposite wall from Scorpius's seat. "Rennervate," she clearly stated.
Scorpius began to stir and blinked his eyes open. He stared at her, "Rose?" he whispered. "Are you really here?"
"It's me, Scorp. We need to talk. Are you willing to be rational?" she asked and observed him.
He fidgeted under her watchful eye and noticed that he was bound. He tugged against the invisible restraints, "Is this really necessary, Rose?"
"I didn't want to take any chances," Rose said. "We need to talk about last night".
"Please, love," he begged, "I know I hurt you. I let my body override my mind and I let things get too far. It was unforgivable."
"You're allowed to not want me, Scorp," Rose said sadly. "But you lied to me".
"No, Rose. You don't understand," he pleaded.
"Then make me understand. It's pretty clear to me that you lied to try to spare my feelings. I'm a big girl, Scorpius".
Scorpius groaned and slammed his head backwards into the chair. "Rose, I assure you that I am telling you the truth. I can't just have sex with you".
"What the hell does that mean?" Rose was so confused.
"You mean more to me than a quick fuck, OK Rose?" Scorpius said. "Please, I'm begging you. Let it go".
Rose was well versed in Scorpius's diversion tactics. 'Time for Plan V' she thought. She uttered, "Relashio," and released Scorpius from his restraints. "Alright Scorp. Have a cup of tea". She pushed a cup into his hands and picked up a second for herself and sipped.
He eyed the liquid suspiciously and reached out to exchange their cups. He took a large sip and cleared his throat, "Are we OK, Rose?"
"I don't know, Scorp. I need answers. Why did you pull away last night?" Rose asked.
Scorpius instantly replied, "I'm didn't want to hurt you, Rose. You might think you want me now, but you don't know what you're asking of me."
"It's pretty simple, Scorpius," Rose stated plainly, "I'm in love with you. I need to know if you could someday return my feelings or if I should move on. I won't dwell over you if there is no hope."
"I love you, too," Scorpius said, "I've loved you for years. It killed me to pull away from you last night. My body and soul called out for you. But, once I have you, I won't ever be able to let you go. It was better to turn away than hurt you later".
Rose's eyes dampened with unshed tears, "You won't hurt me, Scorp. I trust you. Why should we deny ourselves something we both want?"
"Just because you want it now, doesn't mean you'll want it later. It's a dead end to be with me, love. I don't want that for you," he said sadly and looked down.
"What do you mean?" Rose asked gently.
"I'm cursed, Rose," Scorpius admitted.
"Cursed? What happened to you, Scorp? Whatever it is, there must be a counter-curse?"
"That's just it, love. There is no counter-curse. There is no cure. It's what I've been working on. All my research has led to absolutely nothing".
"Who cursed you? Maybe they know how to reverse it. We can demand that they do that immediately," Rose was determined.
"I wasn't cursed. My great-great grandmother was. The curse is passed on to each new generation. As soon as you reproduce, the curse takes effect. It slowly turns your blood to acid until it consumes you from the inside out. You live for years in agony. I won't ever have children, Rose. I'll make sure that this curse dies with me. I won't doom you to my fate".
Rose was stunned. This was what he had been hiding from her? "Scorp," she said gently, "that doesn't matter to me".
"You say that now, love. But you're only twenty-two," Scorpius pleaded with her to understand. "Years from now, you are going to change your mind. You'll either resent me or leave me. I'm too selfish to let you go".
"You can't know the future, Scorpius," Rose appealed. "Let me make my own choices," she stood, walked toward his chairs, and leaned down until their faces were a hairsbreadth apart. "I love you. I want you. And I'm asking you if you want me too?
Scorpius looked conflicted for a moment and Rose prepared herself for him to push her away again. Instead she felt his lips ghost across hers. "You're cruel, love. But I'm too weak to resist you anymore". He pulled her down onto his lap in a smooth motion and cupped her cheek. He tilted her chin up and claimed her lips in a gentle kiss.
Lemon warning. Skip to the next line break if it bothers you.
Rose sighed and reveled in the sensations that the contact was creating. He slowly slid his tongue along her bottom lip and she granted permission by opening her mouth. Their tongues slowly danced together as their hands began to explore. Scorpius threaded his long fingers into Rose's fiery mane and tilted her head for better access to her mouth. Rose massaged the back of his neck as she held him in place.
"Oh, Rose," Scorpius whispered as he left her lips to trail kisses along her jaw. "You don't know how long I've wanted this". He took hold of her ear lobe between his teeth and nibbled. "Wanted you".
She moaned loudly. "You can have me, Scorp". She drew a hand down his chest to toy with the top button on his shirt. "Take me, Scorpius. I want you to fuck me."
Scorpius growled, "I told you before, I can't just fuck you," Rose felt disappointment begin to bubble up as he pushed her off of his lap. "But I will make love to you". He stood and scooped her up into his arms.
She laughed and hit him lightly on the chest. He carried her into his bedroom and carefully deposited her on the center of his large bed. She propped herself up on her elbows to watch him. "I've waited for this for years. Dreamed about seeing you right there," he said. "Now that you're finally here, I'm going to take my time and savor it".
"By all means," Rose smiled, "enjoy it".
Scorpius crawled on top of her and laid his body flush against hers. Rose groaned at the heat that poured off his body and set hers on fire. "Please, Scorpius," she begged.
He dragged her shirt over her head and she made quick work of the buttons on his shirt. He cupped her left breast through her bra. Like the previous night, Rose's body responded quickly as her nipple pebbled. He bent his head down to take her other lace covered bud into his mouth. She groaned at the sensation and gripped the back of his head. "More, Scorp," she pleaded. He obliged by nimbly removing her bra and casting it across the room. He returned his lips to her skin and suckled. She felt sparks flowing in a rapid stream from her chest down to her core. "Fuck!" she moaned as her hips involuntarily bucked up to meet his jeans covered hardness.
He chuckled, "Eager there, love?" and ground his crotch into hers. "Let me make this good for you." He trailed his lips down her chest until they reached her pants. He pulled away for long enough to divest her of her remaining clothing. She was now completely exposed beneath him and felt a blush begin to rise.
He looked at her in awe, "Beautiful. You're so beautiful, Rose," he murmured. His eyes danced across her entire form as though trying to memorize every detail. He focused in on the apex of her thighs, "You're bare?" he growled appreciatively. Rose silently thanked Roxie for subjecting her to the torture the day before for the reaction Scorpius was giving now.
He traced a finger along her hip bone. She shivered at the contrasting feelings of his heated touch and the cool air. Rose felt the bed shift and looked down to see Scorpius kneeling on the floor. He wrapped his hands around her thighs and dragged her body so that her bum rested on the edge of the bed. She realized what he intended to do when she felt his warm breath against her sensitive skin. "Scorpius, you don't have to do that". Daniel had hated going down on her and it never did anything for her.
"Yes I do, love. I want to worship your body. Please don't deny me this. If you don't like it, I'll stop immediately," Scorpius promised. Rose nodded her head and Scorpius raised his hand to softly caress her skin. He draped her legs over his shoulders and dragged a finger through the wetness that had pooled and brought the digit to his lips. Rose groaned when she saw his tongue peak out to taste her arousal off the digit. "I knew you'd be sweet, love," he whispered as he spread her lips with his fingers and dove in.
Rose threw her head back with a loud moan. He flattened his tongue to massage her enflamed skin. 'Oh fuck,' she thought as he reached her clit. He hardened his tongue to a point and circled the sensitive bundle of nerves. Rose was panting hard and reached down to yank at his hair.
"Easy, Rose," he nipped at her. "Don't make me bind your hands in place." She groaned as a sudden rush of wetness flowed from her body and released his blond locks. "Hmmm, interesting reaction. I never would have thought you would enjoy that, but I'll keep it in mind for another time." He returned his talented lips and tongue to her skin with renewed vigor. He plunged two fingers into her body and curled them forward so that they reached a place within that Rose had not known existed.
Rose was quickly ascending to peak. Her internal coil was wound up so tight that she felt like she might shatter if she crashed over the edge. Scorpius pulled away for a moment and Rose nearly cried at the loss. "Let go, love," he commanded, "you need to let yourself lose control. Fall and I'll catch you," Rose felt his lips wrap themselves around her clit while the tip of a tongue quickly flicked against the bud. With one last curl of his fingers, Rose spasmed. Her vision went dark for a moment while fire flared up through her veins to consume her entirely.
When Rose returned back to Earth, Scorpius eased away from her sensitive core. He stood and smiled down at her with pride. He laid down beside her and pulled her to his side. Rose enthusiastically crashed her lips to his; she found that she did not mind her own taste on his tongue.
She reached her hand down to palm his cock through his jeans but he immediately stilled her hand. She looked at him with confusion. "Please, love. If you do that, I'm going to lose it. I need to be inside you," Scorpius pleaded.
Rose nodded and unbuttoned his jeans. Scorpius shuffled them down his narrow hips and settled his long hard body between her legs once more. She could feel his harden length pressing against her entrance. "Are you sure, Rose? There is no going back for me after this". Scorpius stared into her eyes.
"Yes, Scorp. I love you." Rose said. She cast a wandless contraception charm over her abdomen. "Please make love with me".
Scorpius slowly pushed his hips forward as he sank into her warmth. When they were fully joined, the pair stilled for a moment to adjust to the overwhelming sensation. Rose felt deliciously stretched as her wetness welcomed him home. They began to rock together until they fell into a gentle rhythm.
Scorpius bathed Rose's face in soft kisses while she gripped at his strong shoulders. She wrapped her legs around his waist and encouraged him to pick up the pace. His hips started to move faster and she let out a groan with every one of his thrusts. Soon, his movements became erratic and he exclaimed "Rose, I'm close. I need you to come with me". He reached to touch her just above their adjoined bodies. His fingers rubbed furious circles on her exposed nub.
She wantonly moaned. "Fuck, Scorp. Fuck!" she screamed as her inner walls clenched. He relinquished control of his own body and emptied his seed into her. His head fell into the crook of her neck as his body stilled.
Minutes later, or perhaps hours as Rose had lost all sense of time, Scorpius withdrew from her heat. He rolled to the side and tucked her into his embrace. He pressed his lips against her forehead and she delighted in the feel. "I love you, Rose," he whispered.
Rose felt her eyes become heavy as her body gave into exhaustion. "I love you, too," she murmured as she allowed herself to fall into a peaceful sleep wrapped in his arms.
-AN My first full length lemon. I hope you liked it.
