Current mood:

pensive

Scorpius definitely wasn't one to dwell on things, never. He rarely ever thought about something twice. He didn't care, remember? But this time, with Rose, it was different.

Seeing her face, vulnerable, as he stopped Polaris from attacking her cut to his heart in a way he most certainly didn't appreciate. He wasn't allowed to fall for Rose Weasley, not after he had told his brother that he wasn't allowed to date Lily Potter. He wasn't allowed to think that her eyes were particularly pretty, or that her hair was so very red against the white backdrop of Hogsmeade, or that she smelled nice. Or that her hands were soft when he healed her fingers.

He wasn't usually one to take walks in the cold, either, but he was thinking. And the cold helped him think. He stopped on the bridge, drawing his cloak tightly around him and adjusting his scarf and hat. He needed to cut Rose out of his life before he began to actually develop real feelings for her, because real Malfoys don't fall in love. (Polaris doesn't count.) They fall in convenience, and if love comes, it's always bought, not earned.

	"Still won't help you," he retorted, raising his eyebrows at her. "Are you mad at me for stopping Polaris now?" The thought had crossed his mind since they had been there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What?" Rose had never thought of it, either. She sat straight up and looked at Scorpius, neck bent upwards to see him. On instinct, she pulled her once-injured hand close to her. "No. Why would I be mad?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, you weren't looking at me," he said, sounding a bit put-off by the fact that she wasn't looking at him. "And it's normally hard for people not to look at me."

He watched her cradle her hand and couldn't help but be reminded of how her fingers had felt against his hand as he healed them, as they sat on the bench in Hogsmeade. The fact that Rose was out here when he was supposed to be thinking about everything but Rose was counterproductive to his plans.

	Rose looked away and shook her head. "Your ego doesn't work on me. You're not as wonderful as you think you are." Why was she fighting? She should be thanking him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I suppose it's because your ego is twice the size as mine," he replied, smirking, the amusement in his voice apparent--because he didn't want to offend her. "And thinking doesn't really work for me too well lately, now that you mention it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His eyes connected with hers, making eye contact for the first time in their whole conversation. "Here I try to tell you something sincere and you come back with something snarky, as usual." Scorpius wasn't surprised, just.. pensive. He wondered if Rose was worth thinking about all this much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Right," he replied disbelievingly, frowning as she looked away. "Well, then, I'll stop bothering you so you can go back to... thinking." In all reality, Scorpius didn't want to stop bothering her--in fact, bothering her gave him a sense of enjoyment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's happening," he told her, eyes fixated on a tree near Hagrid's hut in the distance. "With this, I mean." By this, he meant between himself and Rose. But he wouldn't come right out and say it. Not unless she physically forced him to, or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Whatever is happening between you and I," he said, still not looking at her. That tree was really interesting. He wondered if it was good for wand harvesting.

"I shouldn't be concerned, really, I should be thinking about Pellyn, or what's going on in the world in general, and I can't help but think this is turning into something more than random snogs." He couldn't believe he had just admitted it. "I shouldn't care, not with everything else that is happening."

	In classic Rose fashion, she completely misunderstood whatever it was he was saying to her. "If you want to stop snogging, just say so," she told him. She hoped she sound nonchalant when really, her stomach was getting tight and painful. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"See, that's the thing," he said, turning back to her; he looked electrified as he spoke, frantic almost. "I don't want to stop snogging you, Rose. I want to snog you more but I can't. I can't, because of a million different reasons." He looked almost pained at having revealed this to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Roses's brows furrowed a little, but she pulled herself off the floor of the bridge and stood in front of Scorpius. "You can snog me all you want. As long as I want you to, that is." The tugging in the corner of her mouth wouldn't go away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius noticed the corners of her mouth twitching and it only managed to infuriate him. "You don't get it, Rose," he said, overcoming the urge to grab her by the shoulders and shake her. "And it drives me insane."

He grabbed her around the waist roughly and pulled her to him, not hesitating to take her lips with his, a kiss with as much passion as he had been speaking with. A kiss with which he was trying to portray every feeling he had in his mind--lust, confusion, anger, and a hint of those stupid butterflies in his stomach.

She opened her mouth to continue the conversation, but instead he had grabbed her. The kiss was unlike any they had shared before, and Rose felt warm from head to toe, which had nothing to do with her charmed cloak. Immediately her hands reached up and cupped the sides of his face gently, rather than possessively like in the past. Rose softly groaned into the kiss, forgetting for the time being about Derek and whatever else was going wrong.

At the moment, Scorpius wouldn't care if his father, brother, and the entire Weasley clan promenaded across the bridge and saw what was happening now. It wouldn't matter to him--because secretly, that is what he wanted. If Polaris could have it, why couldn't he?

Her touch on his face made him calm down a bit, and instead of being rough, he kissed her deeply, one of his hands tangling in her hair while the other rested on the small of her back to keep her pressed against him. Her groan sent a wave of warmth through his body. Hearing Rose make sounds like that did not put innocent thoughts into his head. On the contrary, it made him want to be somewhere, inside, where no one could find them. He bit on her lower lip softly, dragging it through his teeth as his hand that was in her hair went to her waist.

	As Scorpius's hands wandered, Rose put her arms around Scorpius's neck and settled against him, finding an odd comfort with him holding her. Still feeling curious, she gently pulled away, and while on her toes to reach him, she asked, "So what do you actually want?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
