Scorpious immediately moved himself as to hide Rose behind him as best he could but she decided that if Albus was going to know he might as well hear it from both of them.

She crawled up behind Scorpious and wrapped her arms around his waist as she rested her chin on his shoulder.

"Albus…well… ummm….. Rosie and I…" Scorpious was muttering

"We have been sleeping together since the last day of school." Rose cut in. she was not one for beating around the bush. And either way she knew Albus, he wouldn't want to hear some lame half assed lie as to how they came to be in the situation that they were in now.

"We didn't want to tell anyone because, well… simply my dad. He would lock me in a dungeon before allowing me to be with a malfoy. And if he found out all of the things that a certain malfoy had done to me….wellll let's just say that Scorp here would no longer be among the living."

Albus had been steadily turning redder and redder as his Weasley temper flared up (although he was technically a potter, his mom was a Weasley) "You mean to tell me that my two best friends have been shagging without my knowledge for the last SIX MONTHS?!"

He took a deep breath as he tried to calm down a bit. "Please get dressed and meet me in the living room so we can talk about this properly." He said before he turned and walked out.

"That could have gone a lot worse" Rose said as she climbed off the bed and searched for her clothes.

"Yeah. He could have used an unforgiveable on us both but he didn't. so all is well right?" Scorpious said sarcastically.

"This is ALBUS we are talking about here. Be glad it was him not James or one of our fathers! Albus is our friend. He probably isn't even mad that we have been sleeping together, just that we didn't tell him. I mean when was the last time we didn't tell him something?"

"Never. We tell him everything."

"Exactly" Rose sighed as she tugged on her shirt and jeans. She noticed that Scorpious had not moved from his spot on the bed so she flicked her wand making his clothes fly at him. He glared at her when his pants hit him in his face, but he took the hint and got dressed.

Rose didn't wait for him to be finished before walking out into the other room. She looked at her cousin as she sat down beside him. She leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered "I am so sorry you found out like that. I'm sorry we didn't just tell you. We were scared you wouldn't approve…"

"does he make you happy Rosie?" he asked. Rose nodded. "Then why wouldn't I approve? I just found out that the two people I love most in the world have been lying to me for six months. That is why I'm mad at you."

"I know it's not any consolation but, you are the person I love most in the world."

"Even above Scorp?" he asked skeptically

"family trumps lovers." She answered causing him to chuckle. "I'm still mad at you. But thanks Rosie." He said kissing the top of her head.

Albus stood up as Scorpious walked into the room. Albus moved to where the two boys were standing just a couple feet apart. They stood there for a moment before Scorpious tried to speak "Al I-" He was cut off as Albus punched him square in the jaw. "That was for fucking my cousin." He said throwing a second punch "and that is for lying to me about it."

Scorpious stood stunned with his hand on his jaw. Rose could see a small trickle of blood from the left hand corner of his mouth and a bruise spreading over his left cheek.

"I think I said all that I needed to. I'll see you guys later." And with a second *POP* Albus was gone.

Rose walked over to Scorpious and gave him a hug. "He approves." She whispered causing him to snort in disbelief "What gave you that impression?" he said indicating his jaw.

"He told me. He asked me if you made me happy and I told him you did and he asked 'then why wouldn't I approve' which is the same as saying the words 'I approve'."

"Well you aren't the one that got punched. I'd say he isn't too happy about it." Rose chuckled at him and pulled his wand from his back pocket. She whispered the healing charm he had taught her and the bruise on his cheek went away. "better?" she asked

He leaned down and kissed her "much" was the last word he said before they were once again on their way to his bedroom with their clothes dropping all the way there.

They spent the rest of the night doing what they did best and before they knew it they were too exhausted to continue and they fell asleep cuddled against each other.
