Hey guys! So it's the day after Christmas here in Australia so I'm in a giving mood and decided to post this chapter!

We are finally getting to the parts of this story I always wanted to write! I hope I do the characters and the story justice! This may seem like a shorter chapter but it's still and important one.

ALSO: This is pretty much an M-rated chapter, as there's some pretty mature stuff going on. Just in case you're too young for that… How am I to stop you anyway?

Scorp's POV:

[Take my hand and my,
Heart and soul, I will,
Only have these eyes for you.]

It was April. It has been two whole months since Rose used her counter-curse to successfully put my life back on track, and hers as well. While I'd love to say things were completely perfect, they weren't - however, they were pretty close. There were still moments, for both of us, in which the darkness of those moments returned, but none of which couldn't be solved with kisses. Now that there was less fighting than ever, Rose and I had plenty of time for kisses, and if it were possible, I'd say we'd both improved our "kissing game".

After numerous visits to Madame Major - who still wasn't all convinced that I had recovered so perfectly without side-effects from the spell - I'd finally been let go, and I was feeling better than ever. I was stronger, fitter and overall happier than before, whether or not it was Rose's spell or even Rose in general I couldn't be sure. Rose had become healthier again as well. Her appetite was back, she was eating and sleeping and living like the Rose I fell in love with, and our love was getting greater everyday.

I was lounging on the couch in our common room, attempting to study for our upcoming NEWTs that were in just a month's time, when a now heavily pregnant Sandy raced in. She was only meant to stay at school for another week, spending the last two months of her pregnancy at home to prepare, but stubborn Sandra Longbottom had firm plans to complete her NEWTs before she went anywhere.

"Scorpius!" she started, "Where's Al?"

I tore my eyes away from my book again to respond, and I took in her appearance. Boy, pregnancy was not treating her well, no offence to Sandy. At seven months pregnant her stomach was already bulging excessively, looking ready to burst. I mean, sure she's got a baby inside her, of course she's going to get big blah blah blah… but this baby was bloody huge! "I haven't seen him Sand', what's the matter?"

"We've got another ultrasound today, he has a lot of stud I know, but he's not allowed to miss this, he promised," she sighed, her hands supporting her back while she stood.

"He wouldn't miss it Sand', it's Al. Why do you have so many damn ultrasounds anyway?"

She rolled her eyes and took a seat on the armchair next to me. "So," she prodded, completely ignoring my question, "How are things going with Rose now that we're all back to normal?"

"How are things with Al now that you're all hormonal?" I shot back humorously.

"Touche. They're great, once these bloody exams are done we are up out of here and ready for a life of poo, spew and sleepless nights of screaming we don't find pleasure in."

I cringed, "Sounds like such fun."

"But come one Scorp', what are you and Rose up to?"

"We're taking things slow," I said honestly, "We love each other again, that's the main thing again."

Sandy let out a laugh, "I don't think you two really ever stopped loving each other, honestly."

She couldn't have been more right.

Thankfully, the conversation was cut short when Al entered the room. He was looking fresh and ready to pretend he was a responsible adult for the next hour, and looked surprisingly calm despite the very noticeable bump of stress that was jumping out of Sandy's stomach. "Ready for another peek at our gorgeous kid?"

"Am I ever," Sandy smiled before turning back to me, "And don't think I'm done with you, mister!"

I laughed and rolled my eyes as they made their way off for the hospital. With peace and quiet restored, I continued on with my study. I wasn't too fussed, if I'm being honest. I'd always had a knack for doing well, especially under pressure, which seemed to be the weakness of so many others. Despite the perfect study conditions, I couldn't help but let a certain gorgeous figure distract my mind.

As though I had had my wish granted, Rose walked through the common room shortly afterwards, giving me a small peck on the cheek before heading into her room. I heard the shower running. Great, another 30 minutes before I was seeing her again. I decided this was my prime chance to focus on school. I now had a time limit, and that always made me work harder.

Once again my attempts were foiled as Dave trailed into the common room with Becky in tow. It felt like I'd spent less and less time with these two as the year had gone on. The constant drama in my life was probably to blame.

"Mate, you ready for quidditch tomorrow? I'm gonna crush you!" Dave boomed.

"Hardly mate, Ravenclaw has got this one in the bag!"

"You better work pretty hard if you guys think you'll make it to the finals."

Becky rolled her eyes, "Look, I know I'm gonna sound biased here, but enough of the quidditch rivalry! Hufflepuff is taking the cup for sure!"

We all laughed at the obviously sarcastic comment. Sure, Hufflepuff had its moments, but it was no where close to the quality and consistency of Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, or even Slytherin, honestly. Hufflepuff weren't really that great of a quidditch team at all.

"How's Rose going?" Becky prodded.

"Good, she's just in the shower now."

Dave spoke up, "Like, is she better now? I feel like I haven't spoken to her - properly, that is - in ages." "Yeah Scorp, we're just worried that she's still not better- enough yet."

"Guys," I started, closing my book and looking towards them, "Rose is actually fine! I swear, things are great. She's eating properly, healthy as ever, she's happy, I'm happy with her, we love each other, what else is missing?"

"Okay, sorry Scorp," Becky fumbled with her robes, "I just know she was in a dark place for such a long time, it seems kind of strange that she jumped out of that mood so quickly,that's all."

"I'm here for her, Beck, we all are. If Rose starts to slip back into any dark thoughts, I know all of us can pull her right back up again."

Dave nodded, "Will she be out any time soon?"

I looked at the clock, I knew exactly how long she'd be, "Still 20 minutes guys, you wanna stay and wait for her?"

"Ah, maybe I'll just come back in the morning, I do have quidditch training soon."

"Fair enough, what about you Becky?"

"I might just come back with Dave, let her know we dropped in?"

I smiled and nodded while they both good up and went to leave. Becky, however, quickly turned back around with wide eyes. "Oh Scorp! I have some gossip!"

She quickly raced back to the couch and sat down, crossing her legs, "You'll never guess who little miss Bree Smith is dating now!"

I laughed at the range of options to guess from, "Oh god, who?"

Becky paused for a while in suspense as Dave laughed, "Oh come on Beck, just tell him!"

"You ever heard of the fifth year boy Francis McNay?"

I knew Francis well. He was a skinny, smarmy looking kids with slick black hair and the bushiest eyebrows I'd seen - besides on Hagrid. I tried hard to hold back a laugh but let it slip anyway. "Really? I know it's Bree and all, but surely she hasn't burnt down all her options in our year, surely not?"

"At least she's not our problem anymore, good luck to Francis, that kid is going to be mauled by her!" Dave roared.

"As long as she's far away from me, I don't care. But man, poor Francis, that dweeb needed a warning," I smirked.

"And that's not all I've found out," Becky the investigator smiled, "Tyler Thomas, been taken off the school grounds."

"What?" I yelled, "What for?"

"Longbottom heard that he had been giving Rose a lot of grief over the year, and since it got so serious, he suggested Tyler go through some out-of-grounds rehabilitation to change his ways and learn the consequences of bullying, before he be allowed back in the school."

I was dumbfounded, "Merlin, that's crazy." I hadn't seen Tyler for months, thankfully, but I had no idea he had been made to leave the school. I guess it all came back to bite him in the ass in the end.

"Man, aren't you glad we've got Becky filling us in with all the news?" Dave smiled at his girlfriend.

"I feel so out of the loop! Where would I be without you Beck?" I laughed.

She stood up and joined Dave to leave, "Let me fill Rose in on those details, by the way, I need to see her face when she hears!"

"No worries, see you guys tomorrow!"

After almost exactly 20 minutes since I last checked, as I suspected, I heard the shower stop running and Rose was quickly out in the common room, her hair still wet, wearing her pink pig pyjamas.

"Why do these damn exams have to be so stressful?" she groaned, taking a seat next to me on the couch.

"Because the Ministry wants us to all burn in hell for being kids."

Rose laughed, "You'd think with half my family being linked into the Ministry that they'd have toned it down by now, aye?"

"Maybe it's all part of their plans to keep us out of trouble?"

"Well it hasn't stopped us yet, right?"

I nodded and pretended to do my study while Rose opened her own books. I stared at my page blankly, absorbing nothing, while Rose scribbled down notes and flicked through the pages with care. How was she so good at focusing.

After 20 minutes of this, I'd had enough. I reached over and played with a strand of her wet hair, twisting it around my fingers. "Scorp you're being a distraction to my learning."

"Sorry, I can stop."

Rose turned to look at me, her hair falling out of my fingers, "It's okay, I think I need a break anyway."

With this permission I kept playing with her hair. It was soft and smooth while wet, admittedly I preferred this to her frizzier dry hair. She closed her books and piled them back on top of each other before edging herself closer to me.

"Hey Rose, are you happy?" I said cautiously.

Rose glanced up at me, looking slightly worried, "Of course, Scorp, why?"

I felt guilty, "I just want to make sure that you're okay, I love you so much, I just like knowing you're okay."

Rose placed her hand across my mouth, "Shh, I am great Scorpius, honestly. I haven't felt this great in a long time. I'm so happy with you, we're finally past all that bullshit. Don't you worry baby. I love you."

I nodded weakly, feeling embarrassed for bringing it up to her, but relieved at her answer. I let her revisit her books and continue studying. She quickly grew frustrated again and slammed her books back down on top of each other.

"Man I'm so sick of all this study!" she growled as she cracked her neck, "study, study, study- it's all we seem to do these days! What happened to the start of the year when we just got drunk and partied heaps?"

"We don't have to always study, we could go down to Hogsmeade this weekend if you want?" I offered, "break it up a bit?"
Rose smiled like you would at clumsy puppy. I watched as her smile turned into something more playful, and she said "Scorp, kiss me."

There was something in Rose's eyes that was new, more passion maybe? Whatever it was, it was burning a hole into my shirt and I felt very warm under her gaze. I wasn't complaining, so I leant in and give her a rough kiss, locking onto her mouth easily.

I broke the kiss to ask Rose, "What are doing?"

Rose laughed delicately, "Something new and exciting maybe?"

I rose one of my eyebrows, "Hmm and what might that be?"

Rose shrugged honestly, "I don't know yet."

I leant in and continued our heavy kissing session. I had a million things running through my mind, all of which revolved around Rose. If there was one thing I was sure of, it was that Rose Weasley was a very clever and obviously frustrated girl.

Rose's POV:

['Cause you can hear it in the silence

You can feel it on the way home

You can see it with the lights out

You are in love, true love

You're in love]

I don't know what had come over me, I'm assuming just a huge bout of unconditional love and teenage hormones. I felt so hungry for something new, something exciting to push away from our recent dark past and replacing it with something new. I wasn't sure of much in this moment, but I knew I needed more from Scorp than just the hot kisses I was getting.

"Scorp'" I panted, pushing myself away slightly. He grabbed my chin and pulled me in for another feverish kiss. I moaned into it easily. "Scorp, I love you, you bastard."

"I love you too Rose," he breathed softly, working his kisses around my neck and collarbone. His kisses were light and slow, and they are tickling me furiously. Giggling like a little girl I pulled him for a few quick pecks on the lips, while he pulled me closer.

The truth is, Scorp's comment that doubted whether or not I was happy made me want to prove him how honestly happy I was. It was true, things were just working like they should suddenly. It was like I had finally clicked, and thrown out all my negative thoughts.

I plucked up enough courage to move my hand in-between Scorp's legs, feeling his penis carefully through his pants. It felt dangerous, and yet so thrilling. I watched his eyebrows draw together in frustration and pleasure as I continued. "Rose I-"

"-Scorp I want this," I whispered into his ear, "I want us."

His beautiful blue eyes stared deeply into mine and he smiled softly, "I want us too, baby."

"You did know what I meant by 'I want this' right?" I started, "like, I want it Scorp. You know, the "it" we've been holding out on all this time."

He nodded, rolling his eyes and smirking, "I knew what you meant baby. I want "it" too. I'm ready."

"Should we go to the bedroom?"

"Mine or yours?" he asked.

"Yours?"

With that we both stood up and ran to Scorp's room, as if it weren't obvious enough how eager we already were. We lied down on the bed - his bed - and continued kissing for a record-breaking while before we realised neither of us had worked on making another move. I sat up and stared down at him with a smirk on my face.

I watch him swallow, "I just… uh… I'm not sure what to do, exactly."

At first I giggled before realising I was in a similar boat, "Me neither," I shrugged.

"So… What do we start with?" He stared up at me while his fingers played with my hair.

"Maybe we should focus on taking off some clothes, I've heard they're pretty useless in this kind of activity."

I slowly pulled Scorp's t-shirt over his head and tossed it to the floor. He reciprocated by removing my singlet, revealing my ever-so-dorky pink and blue spotted bra. At least I had the bottoms to match. As though it were a game of chasey, we took it in turns to get each other, removing items of clothing; shoes, socks, pants, leaving us both cuddling in our underwear nervously. We were such virgins.

We both rubbed each others' parts outside our underwear awkwardly for a while before laughing and giving up. I sat up on top of him as he lied on the bed. Scorp wrapped his hands around my waist and let out a frustrated groan, "This is impossible, are you enjoying this?"

I muffled my laugh, "Just relax, let our bodies figure it all out."

Scorp quickly brought me in for a passionate kiss, dancing his tongue around my mouth. I moaned slightly into his mouth as his hands started moving with more confidence. He ran his fingers up and down my back before he finally plucked up the confidence to attempt to remove my bra. Fidgeting for longer than acceptable, I let out another giggle.

"Shhh, this thing is Satanic!" he growled, before he finally mastered the movement, "A hah!"

I consciously replaced my bra with my arm, hiding my boobs with a hint of embarrassment. Scorp reached for my hand softly, our eyes meeting. His eyes were full of passion and desire, though mine weren't much different. I had never wanted someone like I wanted Scorpius Malfoy now. "Rose, it's me."

With his words of comfort, I nodded and left him take my hand away, giving him a proper view of my boobs. This was a definitely a new situation for me. I could feel him getting very hard and I felt a wave of excitement and nervousness I hadn't felt before. I was going to have sex. Sex with Scorpius Malfoy. Sex for the first time. I was ready. It was going to happen.

With a large, anticipating gulp, I went for it. I slipped my hand gingerly into his boxers, grabbing his penis delicately and moving it out into full view. It was a lot bigger than I expected… How did girls handle these things invading them? We all deserved so much more credit. I held it easily, and it grew harder and bigger as I played.

My silly mouth couldn't help itself and I found it speaking my thoughts aloud, "So this is what an actual penis looks like."

Scorpius covered his eyes with his hands, gasping for air as he laughed, "That's all you have to say? This new, exciting moment for both of us and you let that out! My god I love you."

I cringed with a tinge of embarrassment, but shrugged and continued playing. I was definitely ready. Quickly, I remembered there was still one important step I needed to do. I reached over for my wand. Despite the respect I had for Sandy and Al given their situation, I did NOT want to end up like them.

"What are you doing?" Scorp whispered.

Without responding, I produced the contraceptive spell over us both. I then whispered back, "Protection."

"You clever girl."

"I know."

I eagerly removed my underwear and prepared for the moment I'd been waiting so long for. Scorp took in my naked body as I hovered above him, getting my positioning right. I wondered if I looked good, hovering naked above him. Was my body sexy enough for him? It must have been, considering his penis seemed to get even bigger at the sight of me.

All I had to do was lower my body and he would finally be inside me. This moment had gone so fast, I decided to slow it down in this moment, taking in his gorgeous chest and body. He really was a sexy guy, I was so lucky to have this moment with him. He ran his hand through my hair and we once again shared an intense staring session. His jaw was clenched tight, ready for the green light.

"You'll be gentle?"

"Of course baby."

With those words, Scorpius and I begun. I'm not going to sugar coat it, it hurt like a bitch. It wasn't exactly going in the way I expected. I could tell Scorp was a bit let down as well, as he tried carefully to squeeze himself in. For the first few thrusts, I could help but feel disappointed. This wasn't exactly romantic or fun.

"Am I not wet enough or something?" I muttered, frustratedly. Scorpius' fingers delicately made contact with my vagina, slipping up and down gently. I couldn't help but push my hips towards his hand at the feeling of it on me. If the other parts of our bodies weren't going to work together, his hand would definitely be enough for me.

"You feel pretty good to me, but I don't know what it's meant to feel like, honestly."

"Let's try it again, hang on," I quickly lined myself up again while on top of him, and lowered my body once again.

We quickly figured out that it my positioning that was less than ideal, and that my hips would be the culprit of our awkwardness. A quick tilt of my pelvis seemed to sort us all out. Finally, Scorp could enter with ease.

"Oh there we go!" Scorp smiled into my shoulder as our bodies finally cooperated.

Besides my embarrassing beginning, the rest of it was pure bliss. Scorpius held my body close to his as he slowly moved in and out, sending shivers up and down my spine, and covering my body in goosebumps. Every so often, his fumbling hand would reach for one of my boobs, massaging it gently in sync with each movement of our bodies. I almost felt like crying - tears of joy of course - because of how satisfying and perfect the moment was.

We stayed in the same position, I think we were both too overwhelmed to change it up anyway. I stayed on top, letting Scorp guide the pace of the event with his arms. The feeling of his breath on my neck was soothing, relieving the slight pain still lingering between my legs. Was I going to be able to walk properly after this? It sure didn't seem like it, but it would definitely be worth it.

"Am I hurting you baby?" Scorp whispered in between his slow thrusts.

"No, it's different, but it feels amazing," I breathed, not wanting him to stop for anything, "keep going baby, I love this."

It lasted a lot longer than I had anticipated. I don't know where I got this idea from - too many shady fictional novels perhaps - but I was expecting a two minute performance that left us satisfied yet hungry for more. Instead, after 15 minutes of euphoria, I could feel Scorp's body moving faster, getting close to the end result.

"Fuck," Scorp muttered under his breath and I moaned in agreement. Fuck, we did indeed.

We didn't orgasm together, not like all those raunchy novels portrayed it, but I can thankfully say that Scorp made sure I was satisfied before he met me at the finish line. I collapsed on top of him, but quickly regained my strength to let him continue. He started getting rougher, more passionate as he reached his climax. His grip on my hips grew tighter, and I almost felt like I could come again.

"Oh Merlin," Scorp growled as he finally came.

His thrusts slowed down quickly and I could feel a warm and unpleasantly sticky pool between my legs. I kept my legs closed to avoid more of a mess, but this attempt seemed futile. Again I flopped on top of him, this time too worn out to pull myself back up, our sweaty bodies slipping on each other. Despite how gross the aftermath was, I was too happy to move, so I instead laid there, hugging Scorp for the remainder of the night.

It's hard to describe the wave of emotions that followed this moment. It was as though a million fireworks had exploded inside me, I felt fuzzy and warm and safe and new. It felt like I had electricity running through my veins, keeping me alive. I had been left so satisfied and so proud of what I'd just accomplished. I just lost my virginity, to Scorpius Malfoy, to my best friend. It felt fantastic.

"So this is what we've been missing out on?"

I hummed, tracing circles on his chest, "We should've tried this a lot sooner, that was bloody amazing."

"You know I love you, right?"

"Yeah, you've only told me like a hundred times!" I smirked, "I love you too, you twat."

"Rose and Scorp; virgins no more."

"I couldn't have asked for a better first time baby."

"Me neither, that was definitely worth the wait."

And with that, we both huddled together under we drifted to sleep.

I found it fitting to keep the sex scene innocent and delicate, as expected for their first time, compared to rough and highly detailed. If that's a piece of writing you want to read in the future of this story, let me know, I'm sure I could work a "sexy" sex scene into it.

Anyway, are you happy with this chapter? This scene has been a long time coming, I hope I did it justice! Please review, follow and favourite if you believe it's worthy of it! I'll be posting as quickly as possible!
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year xx

Love, Alicia.
