Talking Strategy (Scorp)

[Deleted]

October 2021 (4th Year)

Dom stalked across the grounds, eyes scanning for a specific someone. Scorpius Malfoy. She didn't know the guy super well, but he was in her year, and they'd be paired together occasionally in Herbology. He was studious enough that she didn't have to worry about being forced to do all the work on her own, which Dom appreciated, but apart from random assignments she'd never spent much time with the guy. Not because she had anything against him, Dom was just a busy girl. 

However, today she was on a mission to find him. Yesterday they had a match Ravenclaw vs. Slythering with Quidditch and he'd totally dodged her bludger with some sort of a really cool move ... and Dom wanted to find out how he did that. Was it just a fluke or was it something he'd practiced? She wasn't entirely sure, but she was determined to find out, and since today was Saturday and she didn't have anything else planned she was going to try and find him. 

The only problem was, Dom wasn't exactly sure where to look. She checked the Great Hall and the Library and now she was headed outside. Maybe he'd be on the Quidditch Pitch or something? She started making her way there when she saw a familiar head of blonde hair and smirked to herself. "Hey, stop!" she called, jogging to try and catch up with him. She didn't call his name because she hated it when people called her Weasley, but she wasn't sure if he'd be okay with her calling him Scorpius yet. "I need to talk to you if you're not super busy." Dom said cheerfully, giving a hopeful shrug of her shoulders and smiling to try and make sure he wouldn't think she was mad at him or something. That would not be the best way to start her conversation.

Fourth year couldn’t have been better - so far - for Scorpius. Not only had he made one of the most impressive moves in Quidditch the day before, he’d been to a party at the Common Room that earned him a long time making out with one of the Slytherin ‘princesses’. He did find out she had a boorish, foolish talk, which fueled the decision to not really speak much. One way or another, the boy had been treated like a hero for the past twenty-or-so hours, and it was difficult not to let it go up to his head; not that he worried about such thing, rather enjoying the newfound ‘influence’.

“Dad taught me! I thought I couldn’t do it but the bludger was this close to hitting me and-” Voice died on his lips, stopping his movements altogether. One of his closest friends, whose interest in quidditch laid on theory and not the practical aspect of it, was called by somebody else… to the Malfoy’s dismay, since he couldn’t retell the story once again. It would have been sad to remain so lonely for minutes, if a cheerful, loud red-haired hadn’t stopped him. Dominique… Weasley… coming up to him, as well? The bludger must have returned and hit his head, he just didn’t remember! They’d been enemies in the field for as long as he could remember and though their “annoyance” wasn’t taken outside of it, it’d never occurred to him they might congratulate each other outside of games.

Perhaps he had acted cold the past few years. “I’m…” He glanced around them, curious as to if anybody else might be going his direction. He’d spent so many hours with somebody’s company, it was weird to be left alone like this. Though he was a lot more familiar with remaining reserved and somewhat solitary (he had friends, but didn’t need their constant company). “not” Fully turned around to see her, the beginning of a smile drawn on the line of his lips. “I’m going back to the castle. What is it?” Spoken with a shrug, trying to pass that he, as well, didn’t mean to be rude. It was only a bit harder for Scorpius to make conversation with somebody he hadn’t talked to much beforehand.

Honestly, Dom didn’t even notice that the Slytherin boy had been with a friend a moment before. She didn’t notice him walking away, or anyone else that was around really. Dom was too focused on the fact that she wanted to find out how Scorpius did that. He definitely seemed surprised as she approached him, but the fact that he didn’t instantly walk away or call to someone else encouraged Dom, even before he answered her question.

He slowly, very hesitantly, said that he wasn’t busy and Dom couldn’t help the smirk that grew on her face. Was he nervous to have her talking to him? He didn’t seem nervous, but there was something off about him, she thought. Not that it would stop her. Dom could be quite determined when she wanted to be and right now? She definitely wanted to have this conversation. He turned to face her as he expounded a little and Dom nodded, smiling a little wider when he asked what she wanted.

”How did you avoid my bludger?” she demanded, the corners of her lips twisting into a smile. She wasn’t mad, she just wanted to know. ”I aimed it right for you, saw it going right where I wanted to, and then it missed! What did you do?” Dom was definitely impressed, though she wasn’t going to say that yet. She wanted an explanation first.

There had never been a time in his life Scorpius wanted to talk about himself as much as that day. He was a reserved boy, who’d rather keep things to himself and let his teachers perceive his good reputation. Bragging only ever made enemies. And yet, the power he had felt with bringing victory to his team suddenly was up to his head; after all, without his action during the game they might as well have handled victory on a golden plate. Scorpius was proud and pride had always been something dangerous to play with. He knew better than to keep this mindset for too long, but for now, the young man didn’t see too much trouble.

“You saw what I did.” Spoken with the fiercest of grins, as Scorpius suddenly had another rush of…. adrenaline? confidence? He couldn’t put it to words but he welcomed it. After all, he was a confident person as a whole, but the boost felt good. “I was fast, it’s all. It all comes to sloths, see? I was forced to visit a muggle zoo and it gave me a great idea. All I had to do was hold tight on the broom and trust I wouldn’t fall to the grass once I made that twist… and I didn’t!” It… didn’t sound at all like him. He would be happy being this extrovert, proud Scorpius, and go back to his usual self later on, he was sure of it.

“I didn’t think it would hit the keeper, and to the point they’d fall? He must have not seen it coming.” At last his grin diminished, this time more playful. “You should have taught him how to better take a hit. Or it never crossed your mind it might happen?” The words escaped past his lips but he regretted them; it really wasn’t him… something on the back of his mind kept bothered, no matter how happy. Perhaps it was his mother’s education, or basic decency. Who would know? "But- you guys played well. It was a fair game."

Dom shook her head when Scorpius insisted that she saw what he did. ”I didn’t! Not to sound arrogant or anything, but I’m really good at getting bludgers to go where I want them to. I don’t watch after I hit one, I look around for the other.” She was about to ask him again to please explain what he did, but he was grinning at her and telling the story before she got the words out.

Dom listened carefully as he explained that he was fast and did a sloth roll. He described it a little and Dom could almost see the move in her mind ... but she wanted to actually see it happen. She watched him thoughtfully as he continued, talking about not meaning for the bludger to hit the keeper. She flinched, still feeling a little guilty about that one. He should’ve been paying better attention, but the rest of her team knew how good she was with a bludger. They trusted her not to hit them.

She shrugged at his questions, not phased by them at all. ”Well, first of all I’m not the captain, so I’m not teaching the keeper how to do anything. Secondly, no it didn’t cross my mind that you’d dodge. It was so close I didn’t think you had the time. Apparently he didn’t think you did either.” It wasn’t a good excuse for ignoring the bludger, but it was the only logical explanation she could think of.

She lifted an eyebrow when he racked on that her team did well and it was a fair game, then chuckled and smiled. ”We didn’t do well enough, apparently,” she answered good-naturedly. ”But that’s all right. You guys worked hard for that win.” There was no denying that.

Dom looked up at him, eyes lit up with challenge as she smiled sweetly. ”Soooo ... d’you think you could pull off that move again? I kind of want to see it now ...” Maybe he wouldn’t want to show it to her, but it wasn’t like it was a secret. He did it in front of the whole school. Now she just wanted to see it herself.

She wasn’t sounding arrogant. See, the thing about Scorpius was, even at a young age, he understood pride better than most people. Having grown up on the Malfoy Manor, there was a lot of pride. A lot of shame, too, which is why they had to hold on to the things they were happy with. While most of the house was redecorated, somewhere left - the places no evil person ever walked into, for starters. So he did understand. He also knew what it’s like to be proud of one’s achievement, and ability, so the boy had a much easier time not mistaking everything for arrogance; as some people were prone to.

Not that he made much out of it - loudly -, however, set on explaining what she wanted to hear. Scorpius wasn’t sure how it felt for her, having failed her team this badly, especially because in some measure it was an act of luck, but he wasn’t about to give into this. A little bit of luck or so, he had noticed the bludger, dodged with a fantastic movement and, thanks to how close he’d put himself to the keeper, finalized with what would later on lead to victory. In other words, he’d never quite felt this amazing when it came to quidditch; the actual hero, praised by everybody at slytherin, from first years who barely understood the meaning of quidditch to seventh, almost-adults, even then eager to meet him. Suffice to say things seemed to be going well with the girls, too, but that was another topic. Plus, he very much enjoyed keeping his facade of distant, aloof person.

“I guess you could work better next time?” Again, he didn’t know what to say. His manners were set on charisma and charm since birth, of course, but now taken by pride, he seemed to have forgotten some of the lessons. “It’s not the end of the world. You still have a chance against the Hufflepuffs, and I’ve heard their main chaser was hurt during practice.” Most people had heart it at the slytherin common room because rumors were, it had been one of their people to somehow set whatever happened that hurt the student. Not that it made any sense. Unless… personal vendetta or something? Either way, he hadn’t spend time thinking about this and wouldn’t, even then.

Her next words, on the other hand, caught him by surprise. That, and brought some of the grin back to his face; good spirit and all. “Yeah, sure! I don’t think there’s anybody there right now, so… let’s go.” He set off then, waiting for seconds so they’d be walking together (he was still a gentleman, at some level). “At least this next game, if they try copying what I did, you’ll be ready for it.” He went silent…. for seconds. Something was on his mind, and even as they got closer to the field, he opened his mouth to say it. Not the best choice, but still. “We respect you at the Common Room. Usually, when a player from another house makes a huge mistake, people laugh at it, but… I think they know nobody saw it coming, as well.” He thought for a second, before adding. “At least the reasonable people.”

Dom rolled her eyes when he said that she could work better next time. She did a wonderful job, actually. In her mind, she was definitely one of the better beaters. She was just taken by surprise this time. It wouldn't happen again. Not that she was really one for grudges (who was she kidding, Dom totally was, though she wasn't upset about this enough to hold a grudge for it), Dom just wanted to hit him next time. He was definitely making himself into a target for her with that kind of attitude, but Dom didn't let on, simply quirking an eyebrow at him. "I guess you're right about that," she answered after a moment, feeling like some sort of answer was required. She shrugged when he said it wasn't the end of the world. She knew her team would do well against the Slytherins, not because one of them was injured, but because there were better players on their team. She and Ethan, for a start. "I know we're not out of it. We've still got a shot, you guys just made it harder." Dom chuckled, releasing some of her annoyance as she did so. She didn't come here to get mad at the guy. 

With the kind of attitude he seemed to have, however, Dom was more than a little surprised when he was so into the idea of showing her the move. For a moment there she thought he'd want to try and keep it a secret. Her smile became more real. "Sounds great!" She walked with him, nodding as he commented that them practicing would help her be ready for her next game if they tried to imitate him. "That's the goal," Dom answered with a bit of a laugh. They walked in silence for a bit, but she didn't think it was an uncomfortable silence. At his next words, Dom turned to face Scorpius, a definite look of surprise on her face. She smiled, trying to play it off, but also wanting him to expand a little. "You all respect me for missing you?" Or did they respect her for trying to hit him, or because she was a good player. Honestly, she never thought any Slytherins thought anything about her playing, unless it kept them from winning, which was her goal. "Thanks," she added after a moment, wanting to be polite. Dom chuckled, "I'm pretty sure you already know the whole school is impressed by your move yesterday. Even the Ravenclaws." They could be quite disparaging to other houses sometimes, but everyone she knew was impressed by Scorpius, though also a bit annoyed he did it against them.

“Watch and learn, right?” Scorpius replied soon as they reached the Quidditch field, smirk still playing on his lips though he was excited to show her how he’d done it. Truth be told, every team would find out how eventually, and soon, so he wasn’t scared by the prospect of making this process even faster. He’d never imagined the red-haired Weasley would go as far as asking him about it, and he figured it didn’t bother him as much as it sent another boost to his ego, which lately he could only help but feed into it. “I didn’t think I’d do it, it just… happened. If you want to know, dad is obsessed about quidditch. He’s got these old books with mum, too, and we get to read a lot about how the players invented new things or made their team win even with all stakes against it. It’s… fun. I suppose it’s a regretful thing that some of his techniques have sunk into oblivious.” He usually wouldn’t speak so much about his parents, especially to as Weasley, but the more he grew up, the more he found it didn’t matter.

Three minutes later, they’d headed into the field and got to the middle of it. His broom was laying next to him, and the Malfoy realized there was no need for actual bludgers to show the movement. Sure, he could have gotten it once more to see if it worked and show off a little, but the chance of a metal ball running into his head outside a game wasn’t so welcoming. “Up!” To the broom, seconds later, and he stared at her.

“So, it’s all a matter of speed and making sure you’re confident with your moves, so you won’t fall from the broom. Usually we hold it here when we’re flying, right? And feet like this.” He hopped above the transport, but barely moved; the broom floated a bit, and he had to look down to fully see her, but they were close still. “Instead of using a tighter grip, I just- let my hand slide, like this, and had my feet do it. Look.” He barely took a breath for matters of confidence and much like his hand, had feet sliding to the side, slowly. “Just make sure you’re still holding the broom, and when you’re almost done flipping… hold tight with your hands too.”

A few meters above, a bit of a run, and he’d concluded the movement. Then went back to - normal - sitting on the broom and descended. “See? It’s a matter of confidence. Not so hard but, uh- it might give you motion sickness.” He was good, so far… thank Merlin. It wouldn’t be a nice sight, him vomiting or something. Definitely not something he wanted Dominique - or anybody, for that matter - seeing.

Well, talking to this guy definitely wasn't hard. Dom really hadn't tried much before today, but he was in a very talkative mood. Maybe that was due to Quidditch, she wasn't really sure. Dom didn't mind though. Other people talking meant that she didn't have to fill the silence. It made things easier most of the time. He commented that she could watch and learn and Dom nodded, "Yeah, that's the plan. Watch how you do it and then do it myself." Hopefully she could get it quickly. She didn't quite expect the Slytherin boy to make fun of her if she couldn't, but Dom wanted to impress him, interesting as that way. She wanted to show him that she could pick up things quickly, which normally she could. She'd have to see with this trick. 

As they walked, he explained how he read about this move in a book with his parents. Apparently his parents were huge Quidditch fans too, which wasn't a big surprise to Dom. Most wizarding families in the UK were obsessed with Quidditch in one way or another. For some it was playing, for others watching. Most of them had a specific team they cheered on too. She chuckled as he finished explaining that it was a shame so many good moves got lost over time. "Wow, you're actually making me want to find old Quidditch books and study them," she teased, though it was partly true. If there were moves that got lost over time, Dom would love to be able to revive them, like he did with this move. 

He mounted his broom and then looked to Dom as he started to explain how to do the move. Dom stepped a little closer, listening and nodding her head as he explained. He showed her how to hold the broom and let his hands slide as he flipped around the bottom of it. Honestly, the move didn't look too difficult, though she wouldn't be surprised if it was harder than it looked. Most tricks like that were. It didn't stop her from wanting to try. He explained how it was all about confidence, then warned it might make her a little sick and Dom laughed, "I don't normally get sick, but I guess we'll have to see." She flicked her wand, summoning her broom so she could give it a shot. 

Once her broom arrived, she mounted it and went over next to Scorpius. "Okay, so I hold it like this, like normal. Then I just ..." Dom trailed off as she let her hands slide. It was definitely an uncomfortable feeling, sliding over the side like this. It felt like something she wasn't supposed to do, but Dom went with the movement, flinging herself back around and laughing once she was sitting upright again. "Merlin, that was weird," she said with a laugh. Then she looked to Scorpius. "Did I do it right? Or is there something I should change?" He was the one who knew the move. Even if she felt like she did it right, she wanted him to confirm it for her.

Scorpius knew she had meant it as a joke - the passing comment on searching for old books -, but his smile in response wasn’t all that honest. He would rather be in a world people knew better than to forget or minimize great sources of knowledge. It was a shame, after all, some books had been forgotten. He was sure she could turn into an even better player if she’d take her time to learn from old, incredible masters of the field. However he thought, people - most especially kids - didn’t have the time or curiosity to search for such books inside libraries, but to him this was nothing but loss. If they could only benefit from something, why not?

Soon enough he was forced to stop thinking about it, both because of her words and due to sensible headache from redoing the move. With a small tap to the back of his head and mind set on searching for water soon as they left, he imagined it’d be soon gone, so it didn’t bother the young man too much. When she started copying his moves, he’d give small nods to show her the actions were correct; it felt too weird saying these out loud as if he were a professional on guiding quidditch players.

Plus, he wasn’t entirely focused on how correct her movements were, though he should have; it was as if half of his brain had shut off suddenly and the other half was split between keeping his promise and paying attention to other things - still unsure of when paying attention to her became interesting, but… he’d reckon she had turned into a friend, and this is why he got agitated from seeing her succeed, right? Certainly, the best explanation a young man could find.

“I- I think so.” A moment to breathe, if only because he had to erase the idiotic smile on his lips - that was in no way different than the previous ones he’d shown, if only for the motive. Erased, too, the sound of her laughter from the back of his mind, and made himself the favor to try and forget whatever other sounds were made on the background that belonged to neither nature nor themselves. “That was impressive. It took me three times just so I wouldn’t fall with my head on the grass.” Why he’d said this out loud was beyond him, but there it was. “I guess you should teach me something too. As, hm- favor exchange.”

Dom felt giddy after trying Scorpius' move. Granted, she wasn't one hundred percent sure she'd done it right, which was why she asked him what he thought. Still, it felt the way she thought it should and it was smooth. So even if it wasn't exactly perfect, she knew it wasn't a disaster either. Dom considered it a success, she just wanted to know what Scorpius thought. 

She beamed when he said he thought she did it right. He was smiling at her, and complimenting her, so Dom was definitely pleased. She shrugged like it was no big deal when he told her that what she did was impressive. "Well ... how old were you when you learned the move?" she asked curiously. She was already impressed that he found the move in the first place. Then she smirked, lifting an eyebrow when he suggested she should teach him something too. She knew he probably meant she should teach him something about Quidditch, but this was just too good of an opportunity and Dom couldn't help herself. She took a step closer to him, reaching up to play with the collar of his robes as she looked up at him flirtatiously. "What kind of favor would you like?" she asked softly, eyes twinkling. She was just teasing him, but at the same time Scorp was cute ... she definitely wouldn't mind kissing him or something. Especially if it was a joke. She leaned closer, glancing up to his eyes and hoping he'd go along with her. This could be so much fun, if he was willing.

“Thirteen.” An automatic answer to a simple question, that’s what it was. Only Scorpius didn’t do automatic answers, for his brain worked faster than most his peers, and he’d always pushed himself to not appear weak or less than elegant. Words got stuck in his tongue by the time she turned around, if only because he was... confused. Telling her about exchanging favors was easy. He grew up among Slytherins, even if the Sorting Hat meant to take him somewhere else, and knew better than to spare his time for nothing; however, he’d come to consider her a sort-of friend with the years, so the young man wasn’t really thinking about gaining something beyond possibly more knowledge on quidditch.

He certainly didn’t miss her suggestion.

It’d happened a few times since his moment at the field, but these were random girls or classmates whom he’d never shared more than small-talk with. They didn’t like quidditch, but they liked him. He wasn’t interested in them for more than hours, but hormones pushed him further to the edge. It made sense. However, Dominique? Scorpius couldn’t help eyebrows from shooting upwards, beginning of a smirk once more though this time it was discreet, barely visible. His face seemed even bonier for a second, as he’d gotten serious - nerve-endings happily connected to the points of skin where her hands had brushed past its way to his collar. She was pretty. Prettier than more girls he’d cared to pay attention to. And smart; it made her nervous, somehow, as if he’d get more from her than a lot of other people, and the thought rang true inside his mind.

“What are you willing to give?” Barely messing with the distance, he’d take more time than necessary. This was a game and he knew how to play them, even if - he’d find - he might not turn into a fan. “I could play this game all day, Nikki.” He hoped it didn’t please her. He would have liked seeing that small flame of anger with the nickname, tantalized by his calling only so he could get closer. However her reaction, he closed distance in the spam of a second; intent written across his stare before he could close his eyes fully, chin pushed forward into the negative space. He would be willing to see where this might go and more than up for some playing.

Dom nodded when he said he was thirteen. Okay, so he'd been doing it for about a year now. She was still proud of herself for having done it right her first try. That, of course, didn't mean she'd always get it right, but she knew it was impressive, and she suddenly wanted to impress him right now. Not that she'd ever really paid a lot of attention to Scorpius before right now, but this conversation was fun. He was fun. And Dom was having a good time. 

She smirked further when his eyebrows shot up at her suggestion, pleased with herself by taking him at least a little by surprise. She was having far too much fun flirting with him, but that wasn't a bad thing. Flirting wasn't bad, it was fun. He wasn't Ethan, but he was her age, and he was handsome, and he was entirely focused on her right now. 

She quirked an eyebrow at him at his teasing question, "I guess you're just going to have to see," she muttered in a soft voice, teasing him yet again. He answered back, adding on a terrible nickname, one that Dom had never heard of before. Her nose scrunched instantly and she pushed his shoulders for a second, though not hard enough that he'd have to step away or anything. She just wanted his attention. "Not a good nickname. You'll have to come up with a different one," she informed him, moments before he leaned closer to her. Dom smiled and closed her own eyes, her lips meeting his easily as her heart-rate started to accelerate and her grip on his shoulders tightened. Yup. This was definitely fun.

Scorpius would have to congratulate himself by the end of the day for making something so seemingly impossible happen. Though, to be honest, he'd spend most of the minutes he could be celebrating wondering to himself just how it came to be - him and Dominique Weasley, kissing, of all two people at Hogwarts. So far he hadn't had too much experience with kissing, but he liked to think of himself as a better-than-the average at it, at least when it came to the students his age. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it so much these last few weeks, right? Gossip spread through the hallways of school like lightening and all it took was one insult to ruin a guy's reputation.

Nonetheless, he'd thought of none of this when his lips touched hers. They had a different taste than most other girls, but he enjoyed it. There was a quick moment of uncertainty before his hands searched for the curve of her waist, tentatively caressing the area he'd noticed was just one other difference between blokes and ladies. He'd dived into her mouth, wanting, seeking, but it was gentle - savoring the texture. "How so?" An intake of breath, rush of adrenaline making his head go dizzy though he barely pulled back, lips still brushing against hers. He'd get away only another centimeter or so, fighting the urge to grin while hands continued its exploring, searching. "Meeka?" Provoking her - he needed to know if she meant to continue this, whatever it was, because he did. And he had no trouble not thinking too much.

Dom liked kissing. Of course, she wasn't the type of girl who just went around kissing everyone, but she had discovered (somewhat recently), that when you were kissing specific people it could be quite fun. Scorpius Malfoy was one of those people. His kiss was soft at first, which was sweet, but then he was kissing her more intensely and passionately, which Dom liked even more. Dom squealed a tiny bit at the change, kissing him back fervently as her hands went from his shoulders to wrapping around his neck as she pulled herself closer to him. Okay, maybe they were snogging more than just kissing, but she found in that moment that she didn't really care. He pulled back to tease her, asking a question and Dom leaned forward to kiss him that time, before mumbling against his lips, "Stop talking, you." She was only fourteen, all she wanted to do was have a good time and kiss him, since he was so good at it, but he seemed determined to tease her. There was a time for playful banter, but this was not it. He came up with another stupid nickname and Dom shook her head, pulling a bit further away from him this time. She glanced up at his eyes. "Strike two," Dom mumbled before her gaze dropped to his lips. Then she was kissing him again, enjoying the exchange, enjoying the "favor". She was having a blast.
