Okay so we apologise for the length of this chapter and for the wait but we hope that the content makes up for it.

Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter.

I stayed laid in bed as Lysander moved to sit at the foot of his bed, dressed only in a pair of his boxers.

"We should really get to class." he smiled down at me.

I grinned back up at him and raised my eyebrow in challenge. "What's the matter, Scamander? Scared of getting caught for ditching class?" I teased him. Without getting out of bed, I groped his bedroom floor until I felt the material of his school shirt. I picked it up and pulled it on under the covers.

"You can go to class if you like." I got out of his bed and stretched a little and ran a hand through my now crazy hair. "But I'm staying here." I smirked at him as I walked to his bathroom.

"Oh what? Yeah because I'm gonna be able to pay attention to what Hagrid's harping on about with the image of you in my bed in my head." Lysander called after me.

I just sent another wink over my shoulder as I headed into the bathroom.

Lysander and I finally left his dorm room just as dinner was starting. After skipping classes from just after lunch and being in his bed all afternoon the two of us were pretty hungry.

"People are staring." I stage whispered as we walked down the marble staircase. From the moment we entered the Ravenclaw common room his housemates stared, then when we entered the corridors of the castle everyone else stared.

"Then let's give them something to stare at." Lysander growled when we reached the entrance hall. Without giving me warning he grabbed my waist and pushed me against the wall directly opposite the door way to the Great Hall. He kissed me forcefully and trailed his tongue over my lips for access which I eagerly gave him.

"Weasley! Scamander!"

I ignored the looks that people were giving me and just walked with my head held high, my shoulders straight and my face turned into a fierce scowl; keeping everybody away from me. I made my way to my usual table at the library, ignoring the looks and whispers that followed me. Ever since Lysander and I officially became a couple two days ago, a lot of people stared at me. Teachers included; apparently they were concerned about the pairing of two of the biggest trouble makers in school.

Halfway through my essay for Transfiguration I heard the chair opposite me scrape across the floor. I didn't need to look up to see who it was.

"Hello mother." I flipped a page in my text book.

"Good afternoon Rose, you're in good mood." Mum noted; I glanced up and saw her getting her own work out of her bag. I pulled some of my books closer so she would have room to spread her work out.

"I've said two words to you." I looked up fully from my essay and frowned at her.

Mum just smiled at me. "Exactly. Normally you don't even say that."

Ivy and I looked up from the magazine we were looking at when we heard Vinnie shouting Lily's name. The two of us were waiting in the Gryffindor common room for Vinnie; I had been spending a few hours with James in his dormitory, pulling him out of the common room while Lenny Longbottom and Ivy snogged in the corner. Vinnie always walked Lily to her common room just before her curfew so we just decided to wait and walk back to our common room with him.

"Lily, wait up!" Vinnie yelled, climbing through the portrait hole.

Lily just ignored him and stormed past everybody, pushing some first years out of her way as she did. Before Vinnie could do more than yell her name she had ran up the stairs to where he couldn't reach her.

"The hell did you do to my sister, Goyle?" Albus demanded; I watched as Roxanne and Dominique hurried up the stairs after her.

"I didn't do anything!" Vinnie glared at Albus. He and James were getting along for not only Lily's sake but for mine too, but Vinnie and Albus detested each other and probably always would. "We were kissing in a corridor, just sitting on a windowsill and my Astronomy teacher called me into her room to discuss my latest essay and when I came out these two girls were walking away from Lily and she was crying!" Vinnie insisted.

"Who?" I demanded, moving to stand in front of Vinnie, with Ivy and James on either side of me.

"I don't know, I only saw the backs of their heads. Two blondes." Vinnie shrugged a shoulder and looked up to where there was a small balcony, showing the doors that led to the girls dormitories. "Rose, she prefers you to Foxy and Blondie, can't you just go and see if she's alright?"

I sighed and looked at my watch; no doubt I'd be late after curfew. . .but not knowing if my cousin was alright or not would probably play on my mind all night and Vinnie is one of my best friends.

"Alright; you two go back to the common room, I'll meet you there." I waved them and Vinnie's thank you's away and turned to the staircase.

"Whoa, a Slytherin in our common room is bad enough but a Slytherin in our dormitories? Not a chance!" Amy Wilson hissed and glared at me.

"Amy, move out of her way!" James snapped at her. "My little sister is more important than you and your pathetic insecurities over her."

I smirked and made a mental note to ask James what he meant by that later and then just simply stepped around her.

"Third years are fourth on the right." I heard Molly shout from behind me.

I made my way up the stairs and tried not to focus on how I'd know where Lily would be if this is where the sorting hat had sorted me in this house. I pushed that thought to the back of my mind and just opened the fourth door on the right open. Lily was lying across her bed, her face smashed into her pillow and Roxanne and Dominique sitting on either side of her. Dominique was running a hand through her hair and Roxanne was trying to soothe her down.

I went over to her bed and sat myself down beside her feet.

"Lucy or Molly just go away!" Lily moaned into her pillow.

I nipped at a piece of skin just above her knee, causing her to yelp and flip herself over and sit up.

"I do not look like either of those idiots!" I glared at her. "I have a much bigger chest, a much smaller mouth and my hair isn't as ginger as either of theirs!"

Lily smiled and laughed a little behind her tears but then narrowed her eyes at me. "Why are you here? You're not a Gryffindor."

"No but I am your cousin and your friend before that. Who upset you?" I got straight to the point and looked at her for the classic traits a Potter did when they were lying.

Lily sighed and bit her lip for half a second before she tapped her knee twice.

"Nobody -"

"Liar."

"Fuck!" Lily groaned and scowled at me. "Forgot about you." she sighed and shook her head.

"Do you have any make up removal?" I got up from her bed and walked over to her open trunk at the foot of her bed. "You have major panda eyes." I told her.

I looked around in her trunk until I found her makeup bag and pulled out a bottle of makeup remover and some cotton pads. I moved back to her bed and gently poured some out onto one of the pads and then proceeded to carefully remove her makeup streaks from her cheeks.

Dominique grabbed a comb from her bedside table and began to comb her hair out of the curls. Roxanne got up and left the room, knowing that just like when we were younger, Dominique and I had an emotional Lily under control. If it was Lucy who was upset, then Molly and Roxanne know what to do, not Dominique and I.

"Millie Pratt and Heidi Hutchinson. . .they - you guys are gonna think I'm so dumb." Lily sniffed.

I exchanged a quick look with Dominique but continued to wipe away Lily's make up as Dominique now gently braided Lily's long red hair.

"I just, you know when you have those days where you feel really bad about yourself?" Lily muttered. When Dominique and I both nodded at her she continued. "Well today I felt like that and then when they cornered me and just told me how useless and fat and ugly I am. . .it touched a nerve. Normally I would laugh it off but then when they said how Vinnie tells them I'm not attractive it -"

"Whoa, Goyle said what?" Dominique cut across and glared at me.

"He hasn't actually said anything to me!" Lily defended him. "But he's been distant and quiet lately and I couldn't help but wonder if . . . and then Heidi told me about how they're gonna corner him and. . .you know, together -"

"Enough." I finished wiping her makeup off of her face and looked her square in the eye. "Vinnie is crazy about you. He's been distant and quiet because his mother's birthday is in a few weeks and Ivy's been on self-destruct mode lately." I looked at Dominique for a second as I said that last bit. No doubt the two of them know how worried people are about Dominique.

Vinnie would confide in Lily and James already told me Dominique knows about him and Ivy.

"Lily, when Vinnie gets worried he gets quiet and distant. Then he gets angry - in a couple of days he'll probably start a fight with some guy." I told her honestly. "He wouldn't ever cheat on you."

"Are you sure?" Lily asked me in a small voice that I wouldn't have placed with her; not with the new Lily that I was getting to know. The Lily I know now is, well. . .hard. She's a lot like her mother, tough and ready.

The Lily who asked me that question looked her age. "I'm positive, Little One." I pushed a loose strand of her that Dominique had left out, behind her ear and tapped her on the nose once; just like Victoire used to do when she watched us when we were younger and used the nickname I started calling her shortly before I came to school.

"He wouldn't dare!" Dominique teased. "With Rose and I being your best friends? Psht!" Dominique hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. "Go to sleep, Lil. Things will look better in the morning."

"Promise?" Lily frowned and looked at the two of us.

Dominique and I looked at each other and then back at her before we answered.

"Promise."

Dominique and I left Lily to go to bed and headed down into the common room; James was standing at the bottom of the staircase waiting for us.

"Well?" he asked, looking like the worried protective brother I knew him to be.

"She'll be fine." Dominique told him breezily. "Goyle didn't do anything."

"Then why was she crying?" Albus asked from his position on a sofa with Amy in his arms.

Dominique and I looked at each other again before I spoke.

"For Christ's sake Albie she's on her period!" I lied and made Albus turn bright red and look away. "Come on Jay, you can walk me to my common room."

"Wait, what?" Vinnie spluttered when I told him and Ivy and Scorpius what had happened with Lily. "Surely she knows I wouldn't cheat on her - you did tell her that, didn't you?" Vinnie stopped pacing and looked at me.

James dropped me off at the common room after I lied and promised him Lily's crying was purely due to her hormones. As soon as he left I told Ivy, Vinnie and Scorpius the truth; the last thing Lily needed was for her brother, her over-protective brothers, to know she was worried her older boyfriend would leave her for someone prettier and willing to have sex.

"Yeah, don't worry. So, what are you gonna do about it?" I asked Vinnie, moving to sit on the couch with Ivy.

Vinnie sat on the arm of the chair Scorpius was in and sighed deeply. "I'll sneak her out of the castle tomorrow, treat her like a princess and tell her how much she means to me." he nodded as he spoke.

"What about Pratt and Hutchinson?" Scorpius asked quietly. He told us that the two fourth years were in Ravenclaw and apparently friends of Lucy's who was close with Roxanne so he knew them to point them out to us.

"Well if it was guys I'd have beat them up but they're girls so I can't." Vinnie rolled his eyes. "Will you two?" he looked at Ivy and me.

I looked at Ivy who nodded her head slowly. "Sure, we'll do it tomorrow while you're out at Hogsmeade." I told him.

Ivy and I sat at the Gryffindor table, looking up and down the Ravenclaw table for the two girls at dinner the next day. Vinnie sneaked Lily out of the castle and Scorpius pointed the two out to Ivy and I at lunch; now we just needed a few people to see the three of us leave the table so if Millie and Heidi reported us as being the ones to beat them up, plenty of people could say we were on our way to the Slytherin common room with Scorpius. Then actual Slytherin's would lie for us if needed.

"Go." Ivy coughed and spoke at the same time when Millie and Heidi got up from their table.

"Come on guys, we can go and do that potions essay." Scorpius lied and stood up from the table. Ivy and I followed him.

"Rose -"

"Later, Jay." I waved whatever he was gonna say off and walked away but I could have sworn I heard Dominique mutter "hit her from me too," as I past her but I didn't dare stop to ask her what she said in case we lost the two of them.

"Perfect." Ivy grinned when we saw the two of them head towards the dungeons and basement.

The three of us followed them and then when we were in an empty damp corridor that I knew was a short cut to the Hufflepuff common room, Ivy and I nudged Scorpius forwards. We two stepped into the shadows and pulled our hoods up so they wouldn't see us.

"Hey girls, going somewhere?" Scorpius called out huskily.

"Oh. . .hey Scorpius." Millie and Heidi turned round; I clenched my fists when I heard Millie flirt with Scorpius. "We're just going to see my sister in her common room. . .but she can wait if you want to do something."

Scorpius chuckled and put an arm around both of the girls. "Well now you mention it. . .there is an empty classroom just behind us." he hinted heavily.

"Aren't you dating Roxanne Weasley?" Heidi smirked up at him.

Scorpius grinned back down at her and shrugged a shoulder. "Well I don't see her around, do you?"

The two girls giggled and allowed Scorpius to lead them into a classroom. Ivy and I allowed them about twenty seconds into the room alone with him before we silently opened the door.

They didn't even hear the door open or close and lock behind us; they just focused on giggling as Scorpius sat on a desk in front of them and looked from one to the other.

"Now. . .how are we gonna do this?" Scorpius smiled and looked from one girl to another. "Do you girls have a preference?" he asked.

"Well what are our options?" Millie asked flirtatiously and slipped her robe off.

I scoffed to myself at her totally laid back attitude.

"Well it could be at the same time or one could watch while the other. . ." Scorpius trailed off and shrugged a shoulder.

The two girls looked at each other and I saw them both smirk slightly and then nod their heads.

"At the same time is good." they said at the same time.

Ivy and I stepped forwards.

"Well that's good." I said loudly, surprising the two of them.

"Because we'd hate to ruin the surprise." Ivy looked from one to the other as she took her own robe off and rolled her sleeves up.

"What surprise?" Heidi demanded.

I took off my robe and pushed my sleeves up to my elbows too. "Well, I wouldn't want Millie to watch as Ivy beat you up. She'd know what to expect from me." I told her.

"But. . . but -"

"Did you really think we'd let you get away with speaking to my brothers girlfriend like you did?" Ivy laughed. "No. You upset her, you upset him. You upset him, you upset me. You upset me and I get very fucking angry."

"Lily's my cousin. You upset her, I get very upset." I looked at Millie as I spoke; she gulped and looked back at Scorpius who just smirked and shook his head.

"As if you two whores thought I'd have a threesome right here with you." he scoffed and jumped down from the table. "I'll bang on the door if a teacher or a non-Slytherin prefect comes." he told the two of us before he slipped out of the classroom.

Ivy and I closed the classroom door behind us and smiled at Scorpius who was sitting against the far wall looking bored.

"Done?" he asked as he stood up and wiped the dust off of him.

"Yup. They won't talk trash to Lily now." Ivy assured him. "Did you see Heidi cry? Like literally cry?" Ivy looked at me as she licked the sleeve of her jumper and gently rubbed the dry blood from her knuckles away.

"Yeah."

"I thought that was hilarious." Ivy snickered.

"I thought you might." I told her dryly.

She just winked at me and stopped walking. "I forgot I was supposed to meet Declan Collins in the Hufflepuff common room twenty minutes ago!" she gasped when she put her watch and rings back on. "I've gotta go!"

"Collins? Collins?" Scorpius groaned at the mention of Declan Collins, a creepy seventh year Hufflepuff guy.

"Yeah, he's a virgin." Ivy shrugged as she pulled her hair up in a hair bobble. "I agreed to do it with him for the next terms History of Magic homework."

Scorpius and I looked at each other and then watched as Ivy turned on her heel and walked towards a shortcut that led to the Hufflepuff's basement common room. I shook my head as I watched her leave; before we jumped Heidi and Millie she was kissing Lenny and now she's gone off to have sex with Declan.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" Scorpius murmured.

I turned to face Scorpius and had a sarcastic retort ready to reply with when it dawned on me that for the first time in nearly a month, Scorpius and I were alone together and we had seemingly forgotten that we weren't speaking.

As I remembered all of that, my laughing smile turned into a frown and my eyes narrowed into slits as I glared at him. "Ask her." I hissed at him and quickly walked away from him, in the opposite direction Ivy went in.

I heard him follow me.

"Don't you think we should talk?" Scorpius asked me as we made our way around the dark, damp corridors of the dungeons easily. After five years of skipping class and hiding from teachers and prefects in the corners of the dark shadows we knew where to go without watching where we were going.

"I think if we needed to talk you would have let me talk last month." I told him without looking over my shoulder.

"You just wanted to trash talk Roxanne last month! I had enough on my plate -"

"I wanted to tell you how much you meant to me!" I hissed, turning round to face him. "I wanted you to kiss me! I wanted you to break up with my idiot of a cousin! I wanted to be yours!"

Scorpius stopped walking and just looked at me through wide eyes. The two of us simply stood in the corridor watching one another silently; I felt my chest rise and fall quickly as I caught my breath. My eyes were narrowed at him as I watched him comprehend what I had just said.

"You wanted me to?" he asked me in a low voice, stepping closer to me.

I didn't trust myself to be in this close proximity with him so I took a hasty step backwards; then I cursed myself for stepping directly up against the wall.

"Yeah," I licked my lips when I struggled to speak. "I wanted you to –"

"What about now?" Scorpius asked in a growl, moving to place a hand on either side of my head, just above my shoulders; his long arms emitting a relatively respectable distance between the two of us.

"Now?"

"Now."

"Now. . . now I want. . .I want –"

"I know what you want."

And then he kissed me. He stepped closer, bending his arms and closing the previously relatively respectable distance between the two of us and pressing his lips against mine. His lips nipped at mine until I opened my mouth, allowing his tongue to sweep past them and take control of the kiss. His hands moved from the wall to my hips; one trailed up my shirt as the other danced along my skirt line, his fingers dipping underneath to the elastic of my panties and pulling them back so they slapped against my skin with a quiet slap.

I felt my body arch against his; my leg made its way around his legs, pulling him closer into me; apparently I must have grown a few inches because our groins were practically at the same height and I felt his growing erection dig into me seductively.

His lips moved from my mouth to my neck as the hand up my shirt moved to the bottom of my skirt and trailed up it slowly.

I gasped slightly when I felt his thumb trace over the silk of my panties, directly over my most sensitive part.

"You're wet." He murmured against my neck. Before I could do or say anything, Scorpius began to gently rub his thumb in slow, small circle motions around the panty area, making my breath hitch and come out in small pants erratically.

"Scorpius. . . I. . .I –"

"Ssh." Scorpius hushed me, moving his lips back over to mine as his fingers replaced his thumb.

Obviously Scorpius and I have had sex, and Lysander and I have had sex once; but nobody has ever done this to me before. Not even in the very intense make-out sessions Lysander and I or Scorpius and I have had. I had been touched down there before . . . but not like this.

My hands moved from his shoulders to his hair, where I gripped it in tight fists as his fingers sped up; I pulled out of the kiss and rested my head on his shoulders as I felt him re-position his hand once more. His entire hand slid under my pantie line, his bare thumb began to caress the sensitive flesh there and his first two fingers actually went inside of me, building up a fast pumping rhythm.

I felt the usual pull of my body and braced myself for what was coming.

"I'm gonna . . . oh!" I bit Scorpius' shoulder, over his clothes and pulled on his hair as I felt myself cum against his fingers.

My head lagged against his broad shoulder as he pulled his fingers out of me and gently pulled my panties straight again, he left the hand under my skirt though, stroking the damp material.

"See?" Scorpius whispered, using his other hand to push some hair out of my face and behind my ear. "I know what you want Princess."

He tilted my head up with the hand that tucked the hair behind my ear and made me watch as he pulled his hand out of my skirt so it was in the gap between our faces. I watched through nervous eyes as he kissed his first two fingers and then pressed his lips against mine, putting the taste of me to my mouth.

"Scorpius," I whispered when he pulled away, not far enough that I couldn't rest my head against his forehead though. "We need to stop this."

"Why?" he gave me another peck on the lips. "Why do we need to stop? You like it, I like it -"

"Maybe because you're fucking my cousin and I'm with Lysander!" I pointed out.

"I haven't had sex with Roxanne."

I snapped my head back to look at him through wide eyes. "What? I thought you two had . . . but you always made us think -!"

"To shut the guys up about my sex life. She said she's not ready." he closed the already miniscule gap between us so there was no space at all; so my boobs were pressed up against his chest; so I was pressed tight against the wall. "I'm only ready for you." and with that he gently thrust his hips closer to mine, making me aware of how ready for me he was.

"Scorpius"

"Tell me you don't want me." he demanded. "Tell me you don't want me right now, right here." he smirked down at me.

He knew my answer; that's why he kissed me again and that's why he used both hands to pick me up and then pin me to the wall, holding me there by his torso as his hands roamed my body. His right hand went to my blouse, flicking open the buttons easily. His left hand went to his belt buckle and as he kissed me I heard the clink and clank of the metal becoming undone followed by the sound of his zipper and the rustle of fabric.

I pulled away from the kiss and pushed him away slightly to look down at him; like last time the sight of Scorpius and his length intimidated me a little . . . but then when I looked at him and saw that smirk on his face I grinned a little and moved one hand to his shirt to open that and my other hand took over his.

As I flicked open the shirt I fisted my hand around him and slowly and teasingly began to pump him; smirking when I felt his breath hitch; as I pumped him I realised that I was probably more experienced than Scorpius right now.

"Rose!" Scorpius hissed and put a hand over mine; I looked into his face and saw him biting his lip hard. Smirking I tightened my grip slightly and directed him towards me. I used my thumb to move my panties over again and positioned him against the entrance.

I put both hands on his shoulders and closed my eyes as I felt him slowly move into me. I felt his fingers dig into my hips hard, gripping the skin so hard I almost felt the bruises form.

Scorpius settled me on my feet and stepped away from me as we both struggled to catch our breath. He fastened his trousers as I smoothed my skirt down and quickly buttoned my shirt back up.

"The prefects will be doing their rounds tonight." Scorpius muttered as he fastened his own shirt up. "Come on, we should go let your cousins know what happened."

I looked at Scorpius who was now smoothing down his hair and wiping my lip gloss from over his mouth.

"Rosie? Are you alright?" he asked me as he fastened his tie loosely around his neck.

"I'm fine." I muttered. I picked my bag up from where it dropped on the floor and led the way out of the shadows.

We walked in silence, both of us no doubt contemplating what we had just done. Sex. We had both just had sex, with each other - again. This time it's not just him cheating, but me too. I've just had sex behind my boyfriends back.

Thoughts?
