Pairing: Scorpius/Rose
Chapter Six
The week before the first Quidditch match of the year was full of excitement. The entire school was buzzing about the Gryffindor and Slytherin match that coming Sunday, well, the entire school except Rose Weasley. Rose was feeling a bit sick about the whole thing. She couldn’t stop thinking about what Scorpius was going to do to her if his team managed to beat the Gryffindor Team.
The Gryffindor team captain that year was Roxanne Weasley, Rose’s cousin who was also in her seventh year and played Beater. Other cousin’s on the team included Lily Potter, Seeker, and Lucy Weasley, Chaser. In addition to cousin’s, Rose’s brother Hugo was also on the team as a Chaser. There were only three people on the Gryffindor team Rose wasn’t related to and they happened to be Alice’s little brother Frank, the other half of the Gryffindor Beater team, her ex-boyfriend’s brother Reagan Wood, Keeper, and Patrick Finnigan, a fifth year Chaser.
On the Slytherin side of things, Rose had her cousin and best friend Albus Potter, who was obviously Slytherin team captain and a seeker and Scorpius Malfoy who was her friend now apparently, as well as someone she enjoyed pinning her against the wall, and was also keeper. Darius and Euan were both on their team as Beaters, and their Chasers were Evelyn and Raelyn Cross, and Benjamin Forrest.
There was an incredible amount of talent on both teams and Rose wasn’t really sure what she was hoping would happen on Sunday. Scorpius meanwhile hadn’t mentioned the bet since they had made it and had been even busier than normal. Albus added a third practice to the team for just that week and Scorpius had not quit only because Al insisted they would go back to two a weeks after the match. Part of Rose hoped that Scorpius had been joking or forgotten about it and a very small part of her, which she refused to acknowledge, hoped that he had not. She found herself falling into bed each night, exhausted, only to lay awake and think about what it would feel like to have him down there … with his tongue. Even in the dark of her room with no one to see her or hear her thoughts she would blush and cover her face.
By Friday, Rose didn't care what he did to her, she just wanted time with him. She needed to be snogged properly and he hadn't snogged her at all since before their Hogsmeade visit. Part of her thought he had decided to move on, but she had caught him staring at her as if she was something he wanted to eat during Transfiguration on Thursday and assumed that probably wasn't the case. This was why on Friday, Rose decided that she was done with waiting. She slipped up to the owlery before breakfast and attached a bit of parchment to her owl and asked him to deliver it to Scorpius.
She then went down to breakfast and sat next to Alice to eat. “Where were you?” Alice asked as Rose grabbed toast.
“Sending a letter.” Alice eyed her suspiciously but didn't say anything else. They hadn't talked about Scorpius again since Hogsmeade. The four of them had ended up having several butterbeers before Albus and Alice decided to brave the shops again. Scorpius had walked Rose back up to the school and she had laid in bed the rest of the day trying to stay warm and read one of her just for fun books.
Rose was grateful that their backs were to the Slytherin table when the post came and also that she got a letter from her Mum that caused enough of a ruckus that Alice wouldn't have noticed her own owl delivering a letter to Scorpius anyway. It took everything Rose had not to turn around to watch him open it, see his reaction to her words.
Instead, she opened the letter from her Mum and read about how she and her dad were doing. Her thoughts about Rose’s changes to several potions that she had sent her mother after working with Scorpius on them and also a small note at the bottom that she was glad they were “finally getting along.”
After breakfast, they had Charms. Rose tried really hard to care about the lesson but her mind was so focused elsewhere that the words kept floating around in her head and mostly just fading away without being recognized. Luckily it was a lecture day and not a practical lesson, because she surely would have blown something up. She could feel Scorpius behind her, his eyes boring into the back of her head and she wished she could read his thoughts. As she was dying to turn around, she looked down at her parchment instead and saw a short note scrawled there that she hadn't written. ‘I’ll be there.’ It said and she couldn't help but smile.
After Charms, Rose made her excuses to her friends. “I need to go back to my room to get my Herbology book. I left it this morning.” She shook her head as if she couldn't believe her carelessness and they all offered to come with her to get it. “There is no reason. Just head to the library and I'll catch up with you.” Rose did catch up with them, but not before she had snuck off to her room to grab a few things, none of which was her herbology book which she had definitely not forgotten.
She spent her break in the library working on Arithmancy and then they all went to lunch together, followed by Herbology. Every moment seemed slow and every second seemed to last a lifetime. Professor Longbottom, who Rose loved, seemed to be more long-winded than normal and also seemed to have picked that day for the most uninteresting lesson of the year. Rose kept staring at the clock, waiting for class to dismiss as she stared at Scorpius without looking directly at him. He kept fidgeting, reaching out his legs, adjusting his sleeves, messing with his quill. He was anxious. Finally, when it seemed like they had been in herbology for a week, class ended. Alice left to go to Astronomy and Rose told Poppy and Tamsyn that she was going to her room to get some work done in her library.
In reality, Rose snuck to the Prefect's bathroom and entered. She dropped her bag and dug through it quickly for her bikini. She disappeared behind a screen and changed quickly, knowing that Scorpius would be anxious to get there. Once dressed, she turned the taps, filling the pool with sweet smelling water and bubbles. When the tub was full, she turned the taps off and sat to wait.
It was a good ten minutes later, about five minutes after she had decided she might be getting stood up, that Scorpius entered the back room. He turned back to the entrance, tapped it with his wand and said “Clauditis” to keep any unsuspecting prefects in search of an afternoon bath away.
Rose waited for him at the side of the tub, her legs dangling into the water. She watched as he dropped his bag and unbuttoned his shirt. He was staring at her, a small grin on his lips as he pulled the shirt off his arms and moved on to his trousers. They came down quickly as well, revealing his bathing suit which he had obviously gone to his room to put on.
Scorpius walked over and sat down next to her. “Lavender soap.” He smiled and pulled a lock of her fiery, lavender scented hair.
Rose leaned in and smiled as she snogged him. She pulled him closer with a hand behind his neck and his arms were soon around her waist. “Fuck “ He told her, pressing his lips against hers again. “I needed that.” His voice was heavy as he rested his head against hers. “This week has been awful.”
“You didn't snog me a single time.” Rose said with a little extra indignation.
“Believe me, that was not easy.” Scorpius pulled her closer still, forcing her to move onto his lap. She moved her legs out of the water and wrapped them around him and her hands rested on his chest.
“I almost gave you up as a bad job and snogged Colin instead.”
Scorpius growled and pulled her into him to snog her. She moved her arms up around his neck and tried to scoot even closer into him. Through the thin fabric of their bathing suits, Rose could feel him harden against her. She moaned and rubbed against him, delighting in the sensation the small movement sent up her body. “It's not nice to tease, Rose Weasley.”
“It's not nice to leave me unsnogged, Scorpius Malfoy.”
“I'll make up for it today …” He moved his lips, trailing small kisses along her jaw until he reached her ear. “And tomorrow after we beat Gryffindor, I'll do more than make up for it.” Rose’s body rocked again, trying to rub against him and find some small relief there. “You want it.” He bit at her neck softly and she shivered.
“I want you.” She mumbled softly, hearing the terrible desperation in her own voice.
“And I think it's pretty clear that I want you.” Scorpius rocked his hips forward, pushing against her. She moaned into his mouth as he claimed her lips again, kissing her hard. He pulled one hand up from her waist, trailing his fingers over her side and stomach before rested one hand on her breast. He sighed contentedly into her mouth as he felt the weight of her breast come free of her bikini top and into his hand with a simple push on the cloth. His lips left hers a moment later and she leaned back to allow him to take her nipple into his mouth.
“Bloody … unh …” His hot mouth on her cold nipple and his hard cock pressed against her was driving her crazy. Every cell in her body was screaming at her to just shag him already, but she couldn't. As much as she wanted to, the image of Rowan drunk on her parents couch kept Rose from telling Scorpius to bury himself inside of her. “Scor … let's … fuck … go for a swim.”
He released her nipple and looked at her sadly. “I don't want to go for a swim. I want to enjoy you and these perfect breasts.”
“Scor … I need a small break or I'm going to do something really stupid that I'll regret.”
“Just let me help you.” He moved his hand back down her body and she whimpered as his fingers touched her swollen lips.
“Fuck.” She cried softly into his shoulder and he slid the fabric aside to touch her.
“You're always so damn wet, Rose.” She could barely breath and she could feel the change in his own breathing with her chest so close to his.
“I promise it's your fault.” She told him. He moved two fingers, burying them inside of her and she wanted to cry at the sensation. She had to resist the urge to push his hand away, pull his cock out, and bury him inside of her. This was insane. She was insane. Never with Rowan had she ever wanted him like this. She had love his hands on her, loved touching him in return, loved feeling close to him, but she had never had to fight with herself to keep her body from betraying her until she had been ready after the Graduation party.
“It better be.” Scorpius’s thumb found her clit and his face moved back down. She leaned back again slightly to let him take her nipple. With one hand she freed the other side and began to knead it with her own hand.
She felt that now familiar fire blazing inside of her, building from the place where his thumb touched her and spreading throughout her body. As her breathing grew heavier and her body rocked against him, Rose felt herself move closer and closer to the edge. She moaned as he moved from one breast to the other, the cold air on her wet nipple causing it to harden even more. She rolled it between her fingers, pushing her hips harder against his hand.
After a few minutes, Scorpius moved his lips back to her ear. “Red … you feel amazing.”
She whimpered into his neck, feeling the coming orgasm as it began with a jolt, crashing down into her. Scorpius carried her through it, not releasing his hold on her until she had stopped crying out his name and was limp against him, nibbling on his neck.
As she started to lift her head, Scorpius brought his fingers up to his lips and tasted her. “You are delicious, Red. I can't wait for tomorrow.” She blushed, mortified, but Scorpius pulled her in to kiss him and when she tasted herself on his lips, she only felt even more turned on.
“Are we going to use this tub you filled?” He asked her and she shook her head.
“Not just yet.” She told him as she grinned wickedly. “It's my turn.”

That next day, Scorpius and Rose both ended up staying in the Great Hall after lunch where a chess tournament was being played. Students from all four houses were sitting around the Hall, eating snacks the House Elves had sent up and chatting. Professor Vector was sitting at one end of the hall, reading from a large book, but she seemed to be pleased by the impromptu event. Rose had played a few rounds and then ended up losing to her own brother. Hugo was wicked good at chess. It was the one time he really allowed other people to see that Rose wasn't the only Weasley that had inherited Hermione Granger’s brain.
Most of the time, Hugo and Rose didn't cross paths very often at Hogwarts. They were two years apart and they had been sorted into different houses. Neither one of them was really good about making time for the other, so they just kind of took time when it came up. After her loss, Rose sat next to him at the Slytherin table to watch him take on Penelope Carter, the Seventh Year Slytherin girl Prefect.
Alice and Albus sat next to her which meant that Scorpius was watching with them as well. Even with his sitting across the table next to Albus, Rose found herself distracted by his very presence, especially after yesterday. It had been amazing to have him all to herself for two whole hours, locked in the Prefects Bathroom. They had both left very satisfied and very reluctantly. She could still feel the way his body had felt pressed against hers in the tub. She already wanted to feel that again, to be alone with him and no one else. But she knew that wasn't possible. He had his Quidditch Game tomorrow so he needed to finish his homework today and they were both taking this much needed time with their friends now, so she knew he would be working that night.
She chanced a look at him and saw that he was also looking at her out of the corner of his eye. She looked back at Hugo and couldn't hold back a small smile. She knew he was thinking about her too, which meant he was thinking about the same thing she was thinking about and she loved that. She loved that he wanted her just as badly as she wanted him. It made her feel a little less crazy that her crazy teenage hormones were not alone in their insanity.
Hugo bit his bottom lip and reached forward, moving a knight. To the untrained eye, Hugo always looked nervous during chess, and Quidditch, but Rose knew better. Hugo was brilliant at both and it was all an act. As Penelope picked up a castle and moved it, Rose felt a foot touch her leg.
She twitched in surprise and Alice touched her shoulder. “Are you okay?”
The foot began to move up her leg and Rose smiled at Alice. “I'm fine. Sorry.”
Albus reached across the table and grabbed a small ham sandwich from in front of Rose. “They keep sending food. Why don't we do this every weekend?” He asked as he chewed a bite of his sandwich and Alice looked at him disgusted.
“Because some of us don't need to eat all day like cattle.” She told him.
“You know you think I'm sexy.” He winked at her and she shook her head, but grinned.
Hugo moved again. “Pass me some crisps, Rosie.” He asked and Rose crossed her arms.
“Seriously, Dad?”
“Pass me some crisps, ROSE.” He corrected. “Pleassssseeeee.”
Rose laughed at him and handed him a bowl. He dumped some on his plate and handed them back. “I'm with Al.” He told them. “We should sit in here every weekend and eat and play chess.” He reached over to the other side of his game with Penelope and grabbed a chocolate frog. He opened the package and ate the frog in one bite. “Ugh. It's Mum again. I've got like 20 of her.” He rolled his eyes and put the card down next to his plate.
Penelope shook her head. “You know, you should be a little more excited to see your Mum on a chocolate frog card considering what she had to do to get on there.”
“Oh, Merlin.” Albus rolled his eyes and Rose laughed, while Hugo stared at Penelope, unimpressed.
“She's my Mum.” He said flatly.
“She's part of the reason I'm even allowed to be here.” Penelope told him. “I'm a Half Blood. If your Mum hadn't helped this idiot’s,” she motioned at Albus, “Dad defeat Voldemort, I never would have been allowed in here.”
“She makes me clean my room and nags me about my grades.”
“I don't care if she makes you wash your knickers.” Penelope took her turn. “She's amazing. I follow all of her work. I can only hope to be a third as incredible as she is. She decided to come back to school and finish her 7th year even though she didn't have to. She had real power after the war and she's used it to propel so many amazing things forward. I really admire her.” Rose could see that she was passionate about what she was saying and it made her wonder, was she as proud of her Mum as this girl who had never met her? She loved her parents, but sometimes it didn't seem real that they could be the people on the chocolate frog cards. Rose had heard her mother, father, and Harry all speak at the 25th anniversary memorial for the fallen of the War that past summer and she had felt like she was listening to strangers.
When her parents were her age they were hiding from someone who wanted to murder them. They were hunting down horcruxes and saving the world. All Rose had done this year was snog Scorpius, play Quidditch, and gone to class. When she compared her life to theirs she felt insignificant, almost like nothing she did really mattered.
Penelope words were so true. Her mother was incredible. There was nothing Rose could do to measure up to Hermione Granger Weasley. She had already led the magical world in a civil rights movement for House Elves and now worked at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement where she was doing work that landed her in the Daily Prophet even more than Rose’s uncle, Harry Potter.
“She's my Mum.” Hugo said again, dumbly.
“She's a war hero, mate.” Scorpius told Hugo and Hugo rolled his eyes.
“Hugo, she's more than just Mum.”
“Well of course she is, but all my life she's wanted me to see her as Mum and not Hermione Granger and I'm not about to start going all doe eyed that she saved the world now. She's my Mum.” Hugo moved. “I'm not saying she isn't bloody awesome, she is, but I'm not going to wax poetic about her every time I open a chocolate frog card with her face on it. She wouldn't want that.”
Rose frowned and ate a crisp off his plate. “You're an idiot.”
“Yea, well, you lost to me, so what does that make you?” He smirked at her.

That night, Rose and Scorpius had regular rounds together and then their Heads rounds. They had talked mostly about the chess games they had watched. Scorpius shared with her how impressed he had been by Hugo’s victory overall and Rose had shrugged and smiled in reply.
“We play a lot at home. The night … when I found out about Rowan … my parents and Hugo just got out the chess sets and the junk food and we stayed up all night playing.”
“That's pretty awesome.”
“It was. Especially considering that my parents had just found out I slept with him at the same time.”
“Ouch.”
“Yea. They took it pretty well. I think they knew … that it …”
“That you were already punished enough?”
“Yea.” She sighed. “It's crazy how fast life can change. If someone had told me six months ago that I would be doing whatever this is with you …” She shook her head.
Scorpius laughed. “I don't know what you mean, Red. We were such good friends before.” Rose slowed down and then stopped walking and looked over at him. It was the first time he had called her Red when they weren't messing around since they had started this … whatever.
“Oh, yea, best friends.”
He stopped with her and leaned back against the stone wall next to him. “You were just so damn jealous of me.” He shook his head and Rose shrugged.
“I think you're probably right.” She looked down the hall as if she was watching something and then looked back at him. “I wanted to be like my Mum.” She told him. “She was always the best in her year and I wanted to be too.”
“You are not your Mum.”
“I know.”
“Your Mum couldn't do half the things you do on your broom.”
Rose actually laughed out loud at that one. “My Mum can barely fly a broom.”
“See?” He smiled at her. “You aren't the same person and no one expects you to be.”
“That isn't true. People expect us both to be just like them. Me like Hermione Granger and you like Draco Malfoy.”
Scorpius reached his arm out and caught hers, pulling her into him. “Do you think Hermione and Draco ever snogged in the halls?” He raised an eyebrow as he moved one hand into her hair and pressed his lips against hers, snogging her. He pulled her tighter to him and turned their bodies so he was pushing her against the wall. “Do you think they ever did the things I've done to you?” He whispered against her mouth before claiming it against, moving his tongue between her lips. She moaned and gripped his shirt in her fists. Scorpius moved his mouth to her ear and breathed hot air against it. “Do you think he ever needed her the way I need you.” His hand was pushing her skirt up, rubbing against the soft skin at the top of her leg, making her breath hitch.
“No.” Rose forced out, not even really thinking about their parents anymore, lost in the circles his thumb was rubbing against her thigh.
“Then let's stop comparing ourselves to them.” He told her and he bit her neck. “Gods, we’re going to destroy Gryffindor tomorrow if it kills me.”

Sunday morning, Rose walked down to the Great Hall with Alice, who was wearing one of Albus’ old Slytherin jerseys. “You realize we have to best them also?” Rose had asked her when she saw it.
“Yes, but not today. Today I'm just a supportive girlfriend.” Alice had blushed when she said girlfriend and Rose had smiled at her. She wondered if Scorpius had asked her to wear his jersey if she would have liked that. She never would have done it in a million years, but …
“I hope they win.” Alice said as they made their way to the Ravenclaw table. “Al has been pushing them so hard. The team will probably revolt if it doesn't pay off.”
“Scorpius has been exhausted.” Rose said without thinking and then she bit her lip as Alice looked at her with a frown.
“Rose …”
“Leave it. Alice.”
Alice sighed and found a seat. Rose sat next to her, and started adding bacon to her plate.
“You two don't make any bloody sense.” Alice grumbled as she scooped eggs onto her own.
“Are you going to sit in the Slytherin stands today?” Rose asked, ignoring her.
“Are you?”
“Of course not.” Rose told her. “Why would I?”
“Because the boy you can't keep your hands off of is their keeper.” Alice told her in a low voice and Rose elbowed her.
“I only root for Ravenclaw.”
“Mmhmmm.” Alice nodded with wide unbelieving eyes. Rose stared at her plate and took a bite of her bacon. She knew she was lying just as well as Alice did. She was really, really, really rooting for Slytherin to win. She wanted to feel Scorpius touching her again and after last night she didn't care if it was with his tongue in a way that she never thought she would want, she just needed him.
A few minutes later, Tamsyn and Poppy sat down across from them. “Are you seriously wearing that?” Poppy asked Alice, glaring at her jersey. “Aren’t you on our house team?”
“She's a traitor.” Rose told their friends, shaking her head sadly. “Snog her a couple times and she'll bring down the whole Ravenclaw operation from within.”
Alice rolled her eyes and snorted. “That is definitely the plan.”
Tamsyn was staring at her sweater in a more serious way. “Are you two really serious?” She asked Alice, who blushed immediately.
“I … maybe.”
“Hmmm.” Tamsyn put eggs and bacon on her own plate.
“How serious?” Poppy asked, narrowing her eyes now.
“Uh … we talked about maybe getting a place together. Once we both have jobs.”
“What?” Rose asked, surprised. “You never said.”
“Well, it just happened this weekend.”
“What will your parents think?” Tamsyn asked.
“What will his parents think?” Poppy added.
“Good luck with Ginny!” Rose snorted and Alice looked at her with sad eyes.
“Do you think she won't like me anymore?”
“Oh no!” Rose rushed to reassure her friend. “She just won't want you stealing her baby away from her.”
“Al said they practically are shoving James out the door.”
“Yea, but Al is different. She's kind of weird about him.”
“Grrrrreat.” Alice mumbled, tossing a half eaten piece of bacon back on her plate.
“I'm sure it will be fine. You guys will figure it out.”
“Maybe.” Alice looked sad still, so Rose wrapped her arm around her back and hugged her tightly.
“Alice, you're amazing and they love you already and your parents. It will be fine. Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny are really sweet.”
Alice gave her a small smile. “I know. I'm just nervous. He wants to have dinner with them and my parents over Christmas Break. I'm not really looking forward to it.”
“I wouldn't stress about it. Albus is perfectly capable of handling his mum's crazy.” Rose grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
“Anyway …” Poppy said.with an exaggerated sigh. “I guess that leave the three of us getting a flat together and living the single life.”
“Uh, what?” Tamsyn asked with a laugh.
“Oh come on girls! It will be fun. We've already made it through six and a half years without killing each other. I'm sure we can make it through a few more.”
Rose stared at her, open mouthed. “You want to live with us?” It wasn't a crazy idea now that Rose thought about it, but she had never really thought about it.
“Well, Yea. We’ll all have to get jobs eventually and I don't think any of us are keen on living with our parents much longer and it would be familiar.”
“I’ll think about it. I think I like the idea.” Rose said and Alice pouted.
“I'm crashing your apartment all the time if this happens.” She told them and Tamsyn rolled her eyes.
“You're going to have access to Albus Potter’s body seven days a week. I don't feel bad for you at all.” Tamsyn stared appreciatively over at the Slytherin table where Albus was finishing breakfast with his friends.
“Ewwww!” Rose told her laughing.
“Also, I'm totally in! This gets me away from my crazy family and my loving but overbearing father.” As Tamsyn spoke, the Gryffindor team passed them on their way out of the Great Hall.
“Good Luck!” Rose told her brother and her cousins, only feeling a small twinge of betrayal that she really wished luck was against them today.
“Good Luck, Frank!” Alice echoed, and her brother nodded in acknowledgement as he followed Hugo down the Hall.

Oliver Wood leaned down and freed the bludger and the snitch and then threw the the Quaffles into the air with a blow of his whistle. As the match started with a shake of hands between Roxanne and Albus, Scorpius flew up in front of the posts and waited. Albus flew up into the air and out of the way without a thought and Roxanne hoisted her bat off of her lap and did the same.
“Gryffindor takes possession.” Scorpius heard as he saw Hugo Weasley barreling forward towards him with the Quaffle. It looked like his intent was to knock right into Scorpius, but at the last moment he passed to Lucy Weasley. Scorpius flipped up, arm outstretched and stopped the goal to a roar of cheers and boos. He hadn't been able to actually catch the Quaffle but luckily Raelyn Cross was flying near him and she caught it, causing the action to zoom to the other side of the pitch.
Rae took a Bludger to the arm, but she was able to pass to Benjamin Forrest before she cradled her arm against her stomach and winced. Ben continued down the pitch, feigned left and threw right. Reagan Wood missed it by a hair and it swooped into the post.
“Ten Points to Slytherin!”
Scorpius chanced a glance at the Ravenclaw stands. He knew exactly where Rose was sitting and he saw her clapping and smiling with Alice. It made his heart race even more than the adrenaline of the game. She wanted him to win. Scorpius then glanced up at Albus and Lily, both circling above the stadium. “Come on, Al.” He muttered before turning his attention back to the restarted match.
There was a battle for Possession going on. Scorpius kept hearing names spit out as fast as the announcer could say them.
“Lucy Weasley, no Evelyn Cross, no Ben Forrest, now it's Hugo Weasley, now OW that's a nasty hit by Euan Nott to Hugo, now Slytherin in possession, Forrest with the Quaffle and he … is blocked by Reagan Wood in a deep dive!”
Scorpius groaned and watched as Gryffindor took possession and headed back his way. The three Gryffindor chasers were passing the Quaffle as they flew, keeping it out of the Slytherin hands and making it harder for the Beaters to target any one of them. As they reached him, Lucy threw the Quaffle at a post and Scorpius dived, “THE SNITCH HAS BEEN SIGHTED!” He heard boom through the stadium. He was only distracted for half a second but it was too late, the Quaffle soared past him and through the hoop.
He roared angrily and watched as Ben grabbed the Quaffle and threw it to Evelyn who had shot off with it down the stadium as Scorpius searched the pitch for Albus and Lily. They were both laying flat on their brooms, zooming towards the Hufflepuff stands. He let his eyes flickered back and forth between the Quaffle and Al, watching as the brother and sister grew closer to the tiny golden ball he couldn't see. Lily was a hair ahead of Al, but he was gaining on her and Scorpius knew his arms were longer. Scorpius had his eyes on the Quaffle, still heading away from him, as the crowd erupted.

Rose exploded with the other fans as her cousin and best friend, Albus closed his fist around the the snitch. She was jumping up and down with Alice, who had been standing and leaning forward against the edge of the stands as her boyfriend reached out towards the tiny golden ball, when Albus flew right in front of them. He reached out his hand to Alice, who climbed over the wall keeping them from falling the long way down to the ground, and sat on his broom, facing towards him and snogged him as he wrapped his arms around her. The stands broke into another round of louder applause for the Slytherin Seeker and the Ravenclaw Chaser. “Have this.” Rose saw him tell her and he handed her the tiny snitch, which she took happily before climbing back in the stands next to Rose so that Albus could go celebrate the victory with his team.
When he got to the ground, Rose saw Scorpius practically tackle him in a hug and she smirked, thinking about the celebration they would be having later that night with just the two of them. “Come on!” Alice told her excitedly and grabbed Rose by the hand, pulling her behind her to the stairs.
When they reached the pitch, the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams were shaking hands. Lily was looking rather somber as she congratulated her brother. “Oh, Lils,” Rose heard a familiar voice behind her over the noise and looked back to see her Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny walking towards their children. “Be a good sport.” Her father finished patting the young red head on the shoulder. “You have two years left to destroy Slytherin.”
“Dad!” Al hugged his father and then kissed his mother on the cheek. “Mum!”
“What are you doing here?” Lily asked as she followed Albus in greeting her parents.
“We came for your game.” Harry told them.
“Neville invited us. I dare say he didn't expect the ending to be quite so … exciting.” Ginny let her eyes fall on Alice. “Hello, Alice, dear.”
“Uh …” Albus walked over to Alice then and put his hand in hers. “So … I guess I should tell you …”
“I think we figured it out ourselves, Al.” Harry laughed and Alice blushed.
“We were going to tell you over Christmas and hopefully have dinner with Alice’s Mum and Dad.”
“You mean the Headmaster you nearly gave a heart attack just now?” Ginny joked and waved at Neville and Hannah who were walking across the pitch towards the group.
Alice turned an even brighter shade of pink, but Al just smiled. “Yea … well … caught up in the moment …”
“Speaking of the moment, you never gave me a snitch.” Ginny told Harry with indignation, crossing her arms.
“Well, I … snogged you in front of everyone after you won the match for me in my sixth year.” He wrapped a hand around her waist.
“I suppose you did.” She kissed his cheek and Lily groaned.
“Oh Gods, Get a room.”
“Well, that was an exciting match.” Neville said, coming up behind Harry, with Hannah beside him.
“Uh … Dad …”
“I was aware the two of you were seeing each other, but I was under the impression it had just started.” He looked crossly at Albus and Alice, and Hannah laughed at him.
“Oh Neville, don’t tease the poor children.” Hannah went right up to Albus and hugged him.
“Congratulations, Albus. That was a great catch.” She kissed Alice on the head and told her, “Your father and I are delighted.”
“I was … uh … hoping we could all have dinner at Christmas.” Albus said again. Scorpius hit him on the back this time.
“Is that all you can say now? I think everyone knows your Christmas plans. Forget all this and sneak Alice into the dorm for the party.” Scorpius winked at Neville who winked back.
“I won’t tell a soul.”
“Am I not invited to the party?” Rose crossed her arms and Scorpius was reminded very much of her Aunt.
“Oh, Red, It’s not a party without you.” Scorpius winked at her also, and she shook her head at him.
“Guess I have a party to be getting to.” Albus told her parents, and he hugged them each. “Sorry the game wasn’t longer.”
“Oh don’t be.” Ginny told him, hugging him tightly. “The Longbottoms are going to have lunch with us in Hogsmeade.”
“It was a good catch.” Harry told him. “Lily do you want to come to lunch with us?” They heard him ask as the four seventh years started to walk away, moving towards the castle.
“Are you kidding me?” Lily huffed. “How embarrassing!”
