As if Rose had not been having enough trouble getting the Slytherin off her mind before... now that the two had both admitted their feelings for one another, Rose really couldn't take her mind of of Scorpius Malfoy. She loved him. He loved her. It almost felt like a dream... like it wasn't real. The two had started actually acknowleding one another in the hallway after that accident, but only in fleeting glances. School hadn't really been the picture of perfect happiness since the day they had declared their love for one another. In fact, it had been quite the opposite. Students had been kidnapped by a group of "Death Eaters" or something of the like, and many were left shell shocked and worried. But now that the students had returned and were safe, things were going back to normal as the end of the year drew nearer.
Rose was assigned Prefect duties just at the entrance to the moving staircases, where she and another Prefect would be stationed to usher students along out of the Great Hall and back up to their dormitories. Through the small, now dwindling crowd, Rose searched for that familiar head of blond hair and wondered where he might be. She had yet to really speak to him since they had been trapped in that cupboard together... and since then had found herself wishing she could rewind to that night and live through it all again. But the more she thought about it, the more odd she actually felt... could they actually work together? Could she and Scorpius defy the odds and actually be together, despite their family history?
The Ravenclaw wasn't sure but she was damn willing to try.

Scorpius hadn't spoken to Rose one on one since April first in that closet. He had almost decided some ghost was playing an April fools day joke on him and had taken over Rose's body and made her say the things she had said. But, sadly, the logical brain of his new that wasn't possible and that she had meant every word. And worse, so had he. They had acknowledged each other these last few weeks, that much was certain, but they hadn't really spoken. He caught himself smiling at her as she passed him and even stopping to watch her walk by. Every time he'd shake it off and keep moving. He had to focus on school. But that was getting harder every second that he sat in a class where she sat only a few seats away from him. Or, in one case, she sat right beside him. His brain was ceasing to function and for someone like Scorp that was the worst possible thing that could happen. He was told to hang back in the Great Hall and let all the other students be led out first. He was among the last to leave and as he made his way toward the door, he saw Rose standing there, staring right at him. He took in a deep breath and walked toward her, stopping just in front of her. "Hey, Weasley," he said, his tone level and unemotional. Rozalina Antonina Nightshade

When Rose spotted Scorpius, she almost smiled but something about the look on his face stopped her from doing so. She took a moment to consider that maybe it was because of everything that had been going on, or perhaps it was classes that were having him a little more stressed than usual. Whatever it was, he didn't look particularly thrilled to see her and for some reason Rose mirrored that look and enthusiasm he seemed to show. She wasn't sure why... because she was happy to see him. Why was it that she had no clue how to act properly around Scorpius Malfoy?
Then he spoke, and Rose felt her breath hitch quietly as he said her name. Her last name. She had to admit, after the moment they had shared in the cupboard and said all of those things... hearing him saying her voice like that, so monotone... it stung. Rose was upset now, and when Rose Weasley was upset... she fought fire with fire. The Ravenclaw folded her arms across her chest and lifted her chin up in the air. "Malfoy," she nodded once in return. She didn't like calling him that now... not after saying his first name so many times in such happy moments. She looked away from him and around the emptying hall. "Are you stationed here, then?" She asked, nodding once to gesture where they now stood. Before when the two performed Prefect duties together, they would either ignore one another or try to outshine the other as they always did... but Rose was hoping after they had confessed their... feelings for one another, that all would have changed. She wasn't sure how to feel about this exchange that was unfolding between them.

Even though he had started it, the coldness in her saying his surname stung him as well. He almost visibly flinched, but he clenched his fists at his side in order to prevent that from happening. Then she asked if he was stationed there and he shook his head. "Erh-no. Everyone's almost gone," he reminded her, gesturing to the emptying Great Hall behind him. He caught sight of his hand and noticed that it was shaking slightly. He dropped it again, letting his gaze follow his hand for a moment so as to give his eyes a break from hers. Then he looked back up at her, lifting his chin a little too high. "We'll probably be excused soon," he said, somehow making even that sound like a snarky comment. What was he doing? Why couldn't he talk to her? Rozalina Antonina Nightshade

Rose watched Scorpius as she awaited a reply, her eyes slightly more wide than normal but she tried hard not to give away how anxious she was. "Oh right," she responded quickly and awkwardly, looking around anywhere but at him as the hall quickly continued to empty. At his next comment, Rose's eyes snapped to his almost immediately. What was with his tone? Had she done something to upset him? Her lips formed a tight seam and her brow furrowed at him, her mood now setting in her face.
The Ravenclaw stared at the Slytherin for a moment. Finally, they were the last two in the Great Hall and there was no one else around to see them put on a show. "Is everything alright?" She asked casually, her tone not hinting at any sort of careness at all but rather more harsh than the tone of someone who was checking on the one they loved. But for some reason, the way they had greeted one another really set the tone for the rest of the conversation.

Ugh, he had upset her. He wasn't surprised, considering the way he was talking. Then she asked if everything was all right and he felt his hand reached forward on it's own according and catch her wrist, but then his eyes shifted to the other prefect standing nearby and he released her. He took a step closer, lowering his voice. "It's not," but that was all he managed to get out. Then Masin and Casey were coming over to them and telling them that they were off duty until their patrols that night and left them be. Rose's fellow prefect glanced at her and then moved on. During all this Scorp held perfectly still, his face void of any emotion. Once they were practically alone in the doorway of the Great Hall, he finally took a glance back at Rose. He let out a breath, "I don't want to fight you."Rozalina Antonina Nightshade

When Scorpius reached for her hand, Rose's breath hitched as she took that brief moment to look down at their hands then up at him... Then she was aware once more of her fellow Ravenclaw nearby and accepted Scorpius's pulling away accordingly. She faced Masin and Casey like nothing was wrong and when the two of them were once again alone, Rose let her face fall as she looked up at the blonde Slytherin... The boy she loved.
Confusion flashed across her face as he said he didn't' want to fight her. Were they fighting? Why were they fighting? Rose had no clue what exactly was going on but she wasn't going to take it sitting down. "Then we don't have to fight," she said, shaking her head at him as she, too, took a step closer to him. "What's wrong?"

He was grateful that she didn't shut him down, especially since he had been such a tool only moments ago. Then she asked what was wrong and moved closer to him and he felt the overwhelming desire to reach out to her again. This time he didn't, though, but instead clasped his hands in front of him and chewed on his lip for a moment. He shook his head, "I don't know what to do about this," he said in all honesty, "I don't know what to do about us anymore. I mean, if we're not fighting then what are we supposed to do?" he was smiling now, realizing how ridiculous he sounded. Rozalina Antonina Nightshade

Being this close to Scorpius reminded her Rose how only days ago, they had been in one another's arms smiling and snogging. A part of her silently hoped that he didn't just say that stuff because he thought they were goingo die... Rose had finally come to terms with her feelings toward the Malfoy and when he returned them... Well, everything felt right in the world. She really wanted to go back to the cupboard now.
When Scorpius spoke, Rose felt her heart fall a little bit at his words but when he smiled she could not help but return it. It was kind of funny actually... The two of them had always argued so she supposed she couldn't blame him for feeling that way. "Well," she said, looking down at both of their feet for a moment. "I'm not sure what to do either... But I know that I want to... Be with you." She confessed, looking up at him again. "I'm sure the two of us will still find loads to argue about though." She grinned at him.

He watched her with that little smile as she looked down at her feet and confessed that she also wasn't sure, but that she wanted to be with him. Then she looked up at him and he was taken aback again by those eyes. He was already stepping in closer when she said that she was still sure the two of them would find loads to argue about, still. "Oh thank God," he breathed, closing the gap between them and clasping a hand behind her back to pull her body close to his and to kiss her. He made it quick, because mid kiss he realized they still might not be alone. He pulled back and glanced at the empty Hall. He breathed a sigh of relief and then turned back to her. 'The question is, do we want other people to know that you want to be with me?" he started, then his eyes widened as he realized how that sounded. "And that I want to be with you too. Obviously. Did I not say that?" he grinned again/ Rozalina Antonina Nightshade(bahha surry not surry)

Scorp quickly bridged the gap between them and Rose let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. It was so uplifting to be that close to him again. It sent a chill throughout her whole body when he quickly kissed her, and she welcomed it warmly. When they pulled apart, she was biting her lip but grinning at him. She had almost forgotten what it was like to kiss him. Like there was nothing else going on in the world... even if they had only kissed for a brief moment. It was the best moment.
Rose's grin widened as Scorpius added on to his words. She loved how he always seemed to stumble over himself to correct the things he said, even if Rose knew what he meant the first time. Rose then pressed her lips together to form a tight line as she took a moment to think about this. She looked around the hall as she thought before turning back to Scorpius with a serious look in her eyes. "I don't know..." she said quietly, giving him an uncertain look. "Because of... you know..." she shrugged as she sort of looked down at the ground, thoughts of her blond cousin coming to mind...

The look on her face after he pulled away, that mischievous little bite of her lip and that grin, he just wanted to go back for more, but he controlled himself. Then after he spoke her lips formed into that familiar tight line and he caught his breath. She was right, of course. He also didn't know because of you know. "I'm not ashamed," he started, "but maybe... for a little while... we should just keep this quiet," he suggested. He reached a hand up to catch her chin in an attempt to lift her gaze back up to his face "Maybe we need to think this through. Logically," they were both good at that, right? "We have the whole summer to think without seeing each other every day," he felt a short pang in his stomach at that. "Does... does that make sense?"Rozalina Antonina Nightshade

As much as it hurt to hear those words leave his mouth, Rose knew Scorpius was right. They both had so many things to consider before coming out publicly as a couple. Rose wasn't even sure how she was going to cross those bridges when she got there yet. When he placed his hand on her chin and lifted it up, she looked into his eyes and for some reason she felt reassured. She wasn't quite sure why, but she felt as if taking some time to think would actually do them both good.
Then there was the fact that Hugo had had that vision... As much as Rose didn't want to believe it was true, she trusted her brother more than anything. Something about the path they were on was not right and they needed to fix it. Perhaps spending some time away from him would do the trick.
Rose was quiet a moment longer before finally nodding once. "Yes," she said, looking up at him and not looking away. "It makes perfect sense." She spoke, simply. She then had a brief moment in which she thought she may have sounded to serious or harsh but she did think it made sense. Rose needed time to think about how she was possibly going to tell her father she was in love with a Malfoy...

He let out a long breath of relief as she said that it was all right, looking back at him. He lifted a hand to gently tuck some hair behind her ear before pulling his hand back again and straightening up. ”It’s a deal then. But for now… got any plans?” his grin was mischievous as he didn’t wait for her to finish before stepping out of the hall and leading the way to some abandoned room down the hallway. Actually, it was more like a closet. If she followed, great! They’d have a good twenty minute or so snogging session. If she didn’t, well, he’d have to just go back to studying or something boring like that. Wait, wait, wait. Did Scorpius Malfoy just refering to studying as boring!?
