"So? What happened?" Albus asked. He knew that Rose was reading her case, over and over again, just to show him she'd a legit reason to ignore him.

"What do you mean?" Rose asked, turning the page of her case. She didn't really pay attention to him, while he just rolled his eyes.

"Really Rose? Are you going to try that one on me? You do know I know Scorpius my entire life and thereby know a little bit too well what is sex-smirk is? You look thereby if you have had a rough night and for a fact I know for sure it isn't because of your case," Albus said. He grinned from ear to ear and could see her blush spreading to cover her entire face and quite a bit of her neck. If it hadn't been obvious before, it now was sure of hell.

"And how's your love-life? Have you told your parents yet?" Rose asked. She gave him a dark smile, when she changed the subject. Albus's smile immediately faded away. She defeated him, again.

"No, I haven't, actually," he answered, blushing too. Rose groaned and this time it was her time to roll her eyes.

"Albus!" She shouted. Frustrated, she threw her arms in the air.

"Have you told your parents yet?" Albus asked. It was his attempt to change the subject and the second he'd said that, he knew he failed desperately.

"Told my parents what exactly?" She asked, giving the 'what' some extra attention.

"Told them that you and Scorpius are dating, of course!" Albus laughed again. Rose looked up and sighted lightly. Working on her case wouldn't be possible for at least some hours, Albus was beginning with distracting her from her case.

"There wouldn't be much to tell as we aren't dating. I'm just curious why you would think that," Rose answered. She cleared her case up, took a sip of her glass of water and hoped for the best. Perhaps if she gave him some flat answers, he would just drop it.

"I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose, but I was looking for you and heard the last bit of your conversation, before smelling the sex inside your bedroom. Also: you could've just given him the kiss he obviously wanted," Albus continued. He was always like that. Like it was completely logical to discuss her sex-life with him, her very male cousin. Of course they talked about everything, but these were the things Rose preferably talked about with Helga. Not so much with Albus, because she found it rather awkward. Perhaps it was because of Scorpius that made him even more open about everything.

"I've not...I'm not...I didn't..." Rose rambled, not knowing what to say. She sighted and thought about what she would tell Helga if it was her sitting there instead of Albus.

"Really Al?" she asked eventually. Her face went down and she felt hurt. Why did Al have to do that.

"We don't date, okay? I said no. Which you should've known if you say you eavesdropped — accidentally — on us," Rose answered when she finally had an answered that satisfied her. But did it really satisfy her? The minute she'd said that, she realized she was disappointed of her own statement. Albus was even more shocked than she was. He spitted his drink all over her desk. Rose groaned "Albus!" but he didn't even bother to listen.

"You said no?" he asked. His mouth fell open and he almost drooled. Of course he knew that one of the only thing Scorpius and Rose had in common — according to themselves — was that they were both his best friend and thereby always fought, but Albus had seen so many similarities. It was probably why he was able to be best friends with both of them. They fit that well together, that Albus couldn't even think about protesting that his best friends had done the deed together. Hadn't he shipped them since forever?
