A/N: I'm so excited for this story! This first chapter is a prologue and basically sets up the story so you have a general idea of Scorpius' life. At this point, I'm going to say that this story will mostly be from Scorpius' POV (apologies in advance if it's too girly sometimes) although maybe down the line I will include some Rose POVs. I'm going to be honest that some bits of the story may take some imagination on you're part. That being said, if you have any questions regarding the chapters, let me know, I'll try to answer all your questions; without giving away too much of course. Let me know your opinions, criticisms, etc- I read all reviews.

As always, Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling. Image belongs to burdge-bug, check her out, she does amazing artwork!

Chapter 1- Prologue

1 Year Earlier

Scorpius was going to be damned if he failed for the word failed was not in his vocabulary. With as much gusto he could muster up, he sauntered toward the blonde sitting at the table in the corner. His gaze never left the girl before his eyes finally connected with hers. And the moment that happened, he knew he had her wrapped around his fingers. Dare to make a bet against me getting this girl? Pfft, pathetic; who did they think they were talking to, Scorpius thought.

"You're looking a bit lonely tonight," Scorpius said in charming voice while smiling at the girl.

He watched as she tried to hold her composure upon seeing him. She was wiggling in the seat at an abnormal rate. "Maybe I am," she responded in an overly rehearsed sex voice. Scorpius mentally made a note to make sure he did most of the talking for the night.

"Let me buy you a drink," Scorpius said suavely before taking a seat next to her. He immediately laid his arm over her shoulders and kicked one leg up to rest on the other. Effortlessly, he waved at the bartender and ordered a drink for the two of them.

When the waitress bought over the drinks, he made sure to throw her a wink before she took off. Even after making her way back to the bar, he could hear her giggles; they were quite annoying if he was honest but he made sure to keep a straight face. "I thought I was keeping you company," the blonde whined. Turn the tables and make her think you were the one who needed company- check.

Scorpius just smirked before taking a sip of his drink. It seem like it was going to be easier than he thought. She would be at his beckoning before long. For the next five minutes, his fingers glided on her shoulders, making her shudder underneath him. This was it, just in time to seal the deal as he finished his drink.

He turned to look her in the eyes, making sure the lights captured his cool grey eyes perfectly. And than he leaned in as if to make a motion to kiss her, only to go to her ears, whispering in the perfect combination of sexy and charm, "Let's go."

The girl eagerly nodded before grabbing her jacket. Being the gentleman he was, he held out his arm for her to take (not that she was lady-like, if he had to guess, she was probably another slag looking for a lay). The blonde let the way out the door and Scorpius took one last glance at his friends and threw them a smug look. "You owe me ten galleons," he mouthed to the group.

Present

At seven sharp, Scorpius got up like clockwork. He entered the shower, making sure to rid himself of yesterday's dirty work. After leaving the showers, he pulled on a pair of boxers. The next routine took the longest, his hair. Yes, his hair was his most recognizable possession; it was the lightning scar to his Harry Potter. Every strand was meticulously placed, especially if it was for a client. He made sure the hairs were slicked back uniformly before applying some potion to make the platinum hue shine even more exceptionally. If he found himself with a free day however, he usually left it sticking whichever way it went; but he had learned a long time ago that girls tended to like the more well put together look.

Soon after, Scorpius entered his enormous closet, which was kept in an impeccable order. He reminded himself of what was written in the dossier, likes blue, and quickly picked out a blue shirt and tie to pair with his black robes. Normally, he would wear his black shoes; but today, he was feeling a little risky so he went with the mahogany ones instead. And upon reaching his desk, he placed the leather watch on his wrist. Taking one last look in the mirror, he straightened out his cuffs and smirked. Time to get to work.

"Hi, I'm looking for a Ms. Chambers," Scorpius said to the receptionist.

Without looking up, the receptionist told him in a bored tone that Ms. Chambers was in a meeting and for him to wait. The old tosser was probably used to the mundane task of telling people to wait, but not Scorpius. It was time to turn on the charm. He cleared his throat as to signify that he was still standing there.

"I said, Ms. Chambers is…" the receptionist started but never finished.

"Ever been told you look like Celestina Warbeck?" Scorpius started before taking a peek at her name tag, "Gladys?"

The old woman blushed before mumbling something along the lines of "Well when I was younger…" but Scorpius didn't give two hoots about what she said afterwards. The only thing that mattered was that within two minutes, he was let in to meet Ms. Chambers without having to wait for the meeting to finish.

Scorpius knocked on the door where the name Jane Chambers was written across it. After three knocks, the person behind the door mentioned for him to enter. Scorpius rolled his neck from side to side; he really hoped this girl was at least nice to look at if he was going to spend the next week or so hanging around her.

Much to Scorpius' delight, the woman was not only decent looking; she was gorgeous. Well this sure makes things a lot more interesting, he thought. She stood up to greet him and offered a small smile before shaking his hand and sitting down again. "Nice to meet you Mr. Malfoy, I was made aware that you were interested in filling our vacant spot."

"Yes, I'm very well interested in working for the transportation department," Scorpius responded smoothly.

Jane nodded, "Good, well can you tell me a little about yourself and why you would be a good fit for the job?"

After fifteen minutes, Scorpius walked out of the office not only landing the job but also found out what she did after work, her favorite food, favorite books, all the way down to the magazines she had subscribed to. As he left the building, he made sure to wink at Gladys; albeit a weak one, he didn't need the old woman having a heart attack, he was going to need her later.

Scorpius rounded the corner and made his way toward the bistro to meet his client. He spotted the man immediately at the bar and took a seat next to him. "I'm in," Scorpius said in a deadpan voice.

"Good, just make sure she's broken up with him by next week," the man replied.

Scorpius nodded. "That will come in handy later," the man supplied as he handed a small package to Scorpius.

He nodded again before taking the package the man handed him and slipped it into his breast pocket. "I'll keep you posted," he said and without another word, he walked out of the bistro and into an alley. With a pop, Scorpius apparated away.

The next three days were harder than he had suspected. Jane Chambers was a moral woman and it would seem that breaking up her relationship was going to take more than the usual charms. But Scorpius was better and he knew it. By the fourth day at work, she had cracked and accepted his lunch invitation. They flirted shamelessly in the restaurant and Scorpius made sure Gladys was aware of their dates.

"Hey, do you want to go to dinner with the rest of us?" Jane offered on the sixth night.

Scorpius threw an anxious look at her. "I don't know Jane, I still have a ton of things to do, and I don't want to get behind on my first week," he said hesitantly, making sure to drag each word out.

Jane waved him off, "It's fine; I'll just tell the director that someone messed up the paperwork before it got to you."

"You sure?" Scorpius asked.

Jane thought for a second before she nodded confidently, "Yeah don't worry about it, come have dinner with us." Bingo, the dinner date. Scorpius was close to breaking her; it was time to put the plan in motion.

"Okay sure, but I just need to send off one letter, do you mind waiting downstairs for me?" Scorpius asked.

"Not a problem, I'll see you downstairs," Jane replied sweetly.

Aw poor girl, and he was really starting to like her...Scorpius chuckled, who was he kidding. He couldn't wait to get out of this hellhole. Scorpius took out the piece of paper that belonged to Jane that he had coaxed Gladys to giving him. With precision, he mimicked her handwriting onto a clean parchment and sent his letter off with an office owl.

Scorpius sat next to her at the table while the rest of the colleagues chattered about random gossip. Sometime along the dinner, most of the workers left and only Scorpius and Jane were left at the table. "You wouldn't happen to be seeing anyone would you?" Scorpius had managed to work into their conversation.

It took a few minutes to for her to respond, Scorpius could see she was torn. Who wouldn't be when they were sitting next to a handsome chap like him. Finally, she responded with a quiet no, and it was then that Scorpius put himself to work. After ordering her a few drinks, she couldn't keep her hands off of him.

"Why on earth is a guy like you single?" Jane slurred as she put one hand on his chest and breathed into his ear.

Scorpius chuckled before pulling her away so they could look at each other, "Am I?" He arched his brow at her and waited for her to piece together what he was insinuating.

She giggled before kissing his neck, "Hmm, maybe not."

He allowed her to have her way with him for a few more minutes just to make sure that when the time came, he had the evidence he needed to back him. Scorpius checked his watch once more before leaning into her ear, "You want to go?"

Jane giggled once more and nodded enthusiastically. When they finally left, he had managed to convince her to return to her place. Getting her to fall asleep was quite an easy feat since he made sure she had been thoroughly drunk before they left the restaurant. When he was sure she had fallen asleep, he apparated back to his flat; if there was one thing Scorpius didn't do was mix business with pleasure; Rule 2- no sex on the job.

With timed precision, Scorpius apparated back to Jane's flat the next morning before she woke up. He made sure not to do his morning routine to make it look like he had slept with her the whole night. "Morning babe," Scorpius pretended in a groggy voice while still managing to smile.

Jane smiled back and threw her arms around him, "I'm surprise you stuck around."

"What do you mean?" Scorpius chuckled.

Jane leaned into his chest and hummed, "Nothing, just took you for the guy who would leave before the girl woke up."

Scorpius smirked; everything was going according to plan. Apparently she'd believed that the two of them had slept together last night. "Well, I have to get back to my flat to get ready," Scorpius faked in a sad voice.

"Do you have to?" Jane whined. "Who could do it again," she offered.

Ah, so she finally shows her slaggy side; no one could resist his charm. "We shouldn't," Scorpius said in a reasonable tone.

After a few more unnecessary bouts between them, Scorpius finally managed to leave the bed but not before making sure to peck her on the lips. "I'll see you in the office," he winked. As he left the room, he glanced down on the floor at the blue tie lying there before walking out the door.

Scorpius waited around the corner before he spotted the man enter the flat. He followed soon afterwards. When he made it outside her door, he could hear the distinct sound of an argument occurring on the other side of the door.

"I get a letter from you saying that you needed to see me and then I come home to find a random tie on the floor. What the hell should I think about this Jane?" the man yelled.

"What? I never sent you any mail!" Jane cried.

The man laughed in mad hysterics, "Who the fuck cares Jane, the point is that you're cheating on me!"

"No, I swear I'm not Rick," Jane pleaded.

Scorpius smirked before reaching into his breast pocket and pulled out the package. A brass key slipped out from it and he inserted it into the hole. When it clicked, he smiled.

"Oh I'm sorry babe, I left my tie here," Scorpius feigned innocence of just having walked in on an argument between the couple.

The man stared angrily between him and Jane, "What do you call that!"

Scorpius watched as Jane broke down in tears before he took his cue, "Jane? What is this? You told me you weren't seeing anyone," Scorpius said in a hurt voice. He took in her scared look and without another word, he slammed the door.

Scorpius arrived at the office smiling but turned on the act again once he spotted Jane entering the office. The moment she saw him, she asked to speak privately with him. But he made sure to gather as much attention from the others as he could before allowing her to take him to her office.

The whole conversation consisted of how could you's from Scorpius and a bunch of sorry's from Jane. "Please Scorpius, I broke up with him for you. You're the one I want to be with," she pleaded.

"You mean, he dumped you when he found out you were cheating. You're pathetic," Scorpius mumbled as he opened the office door, looking defeated. When he noticed the sudden rush of chairs, he mentally smiled to himself; everyone in the office had heard it.

"By the way Jane, I quit," Scorpius said in a stony voice.

As he left the building once and for all, he saw the sympathetic looks that were thrown his way, particularly Gladys. Mission accomplished.

Once again Scorpius met with the man in the bistro at the bar. "Job's complete," Scorpius stated in a business like tone.

"Glad to hear," the man responded before handing Scorpius an envelope.

"Pleasure doing business with you," Scorpius said as he took the envelope and without another word, left.
