Once back at school Rose and Scorpius fell back into their own routes ending their days in the library
"Hey, are you going to the Library?" Scorpius asked as he caught up with Rose one day, a few weeks after the break.
"Yeah" she said looking up at him.
"Mind if I join you?" He asked .
"You know I don't." She said absentmindedly.
Scorpius nodded and followed her over to the library and to their usual table.
"So... I heard your thing with Lucas didn't work out..." Scorpius said as he wrote on his parchment.
Rose looked up at him, he barely ever talked when they were there. A little smirk appeared as she realized it must've been bothering him. "It was hardly a thing.." She said looking down at her book. "He asked me to help him with Transfiguration, spent the whole time flirting, and then kissed me out of the blue."
"You probably liked it." He said teasingly, "Though I hear he's not a very good kisser."
"What? Having the guy nod over what I said as he looked down my cleavage? Hardly" She said rolling her eyes. "And yeah no I wouldn't recommend him, Henry McGrath, now he is a good kisser. Too bad he's graduated..." She said teasingly.
Scorpius scoffed, "Please I am a much better kisser than him." He said not really thinking about what he said until after he said it.
"Are you? According to who?" She said her eyebrows raising. "The girls that giggle at all your bad jokes? I don't really trust their judgment" She said.
"You can ask several girls and they will tell you that I am." He said looking at her
"Right..." Rose said, she was mildly curious.
Word was around that he was a terrific snog but their sort-of-friendship was too complicated to add casual snog buddy to the mix.
"You don't believe me?" He asked half jokingly.
"Nope" She said battling her eyelashes at him with a small smirk.
"How could I make you believe me?" He asked with a small smirk.
Her little game was stopped right then.
Was she really asking him to kiss her? "I don't know" she shrugged looking away from him.
"Kiss me and I'll prove it." He said seeing her face.
"I've already kissed you and it was fairly ordinary." She said, her heartbeat racing slightly.
"That was hardly a kiss Rose" Scorpius' voice was slightly deeper. "I knew you'd chicken out" He had that stupid smug face she hated.
"I'm not chickening out, I just don't want to waste my time with your untalented lips" She said, not pleased at all about being called a chicken, as she rolled her eyes.
"Because you are so talented yourself" He scoffed, "If what you did under the mistletoe was kissing let me tell you you've been doing it all wrong Weasely, you're supposed to move...and breathe" He chuckled to himself.
"I am a very good kisser!" She protested. "I was just... not trying at all."
"Sure Rose" He snickered and Rose's lips pressed into a fine line.
"Fine, I'll kiss you." She said, her eyes narrowing. "but no one finds out." She stated making it very clear what would happen to him if someone did find out.
Scorpius' smirk grew wider. "Well let's go then." He said starting to stand up.
Rose hesitated a moment but followed him, she was not going to be beaten by Scorpius Malfoy. She could feel her heartbeat all the way to her ears. It's just a kiss, she told herself, it's not like it's the first time you kiss someone.
Once they were away from other students Scorpius backed her up against one of the bookshelves.
"You sure about this Weasely?" He asked, so close Rose could feel his warm breath over her skin.
"What? Having second thoughts Malfoy?" She asked with a small smirk.
"Hardly" He said his voice very deep before his lips met hers.
He was gentle at first, his lips just moving against hers, finding a pace, seizing her as his hand caressed the skin of her cheek softly on its way to the back of her neck.
Rose slid her hands over his chest softly until she reached the neck of his shirt. Oh he was good, he was very good. Rose pulled him closer by his shirt, making him stand with one of his legs between hers. She felt him inhale sharply at her sudden roughness and smirked against his lips. Rose slid one of her hands around his neck and ran her nails softly over his scalp before biting his lip playfully.
"I didn't expect you to like it rough Weasely." He murmured matching her smirk before pressing her harder to the bookshelf, almost painfully but not quite.
"Funny, I didn't expect you to find out but I was getting bored." She said and his only response where his lips onto hers. She could feel every inch of her body pressed to his, one of his strong arms around her waist. He was still kissing her slowly but he was not as gentle as he'd been before and it was driving Rose mad. He left her lips and started a hot trail down her jawline and into her neck until his lips found one sweet spot on her neck that made her arch her back towards him. He smirked against the skin and kissed her there again with a bit more force and Rose whimpered.
"Yeah I know... I'm that good" He whispered in her ear before slowly letting go of her, his triumphant look not leaving his face.
"That was... that was not fair." Rose said crossing her arms over her chest, not wanting to admit her defeat.
"Because you were clearly enjoying yourself?" He asked cocky.
"Like you weren't." She countered "Your body betrays you" She said crossing her arms over her chest and looking down pointedly for a moment.
He blushed slightly but his look didn't falter.
"I'm only a man" He shrugged.
"I can see." She teased and turned to leave, feeling heat rising in her chest the more she spent time alone with him.
He followed her, a smirk not leaving his face.
"What are you smirking so much about? You've never kissed a woman or what?" She said getting slightly annoyed as they picked up their stuff from the table.
"I made you moan Weaslebee." He said teasingly.
"Like it's so hard to make someone moan." She rolled her eyes but she knew she was just avoiding admitting that he was a really good kisser, especially because that would be admitting she wanted to smog him again.
"I could make you moan any time." She said, not thinking, as she finished packing and started to make her way out the library with him behind her.
"Do it then" He challenged her. "Admit it you only want to kiss me again."
She rolled her eyes.
"Right, it's not that you are a chicken and are afraid of falling in love with me Weaslebee" He said smug.
"Fine" She said now annoyed and took his forearm and pulled him into another hallway nearby and a secret passageway.
Rose wasted no time, gave herself no time to think or to consider if this was right or wrong, she just joined their lips and pressed her body to him. She kissed him deeply and buried one of her hands on his hair as the other went down the collar of his shirt, her nails running over the skin of his back. She rolled her hips rubbing him in all the right places indirectly.
Scorpious made a deep sound on the back of his throat and she smirked widely.
"There we go." She murmured before getting a step away from him feeling his hands drop from her waist, "I said anytime"
"Two can play this game Weasely" He said, his eyes dark.
"Anytime." She said and Rose's stomach fluttered as her mind went over the possible things he could be planning to do but she didn't back up.
"Anytime..." He repeated.
