The Snake and the Rose

She smirks, "Don't push you or what baby bunny?" She said, almost a predatory growl as what was happening dawns on her. She shook her head and backed off a bit, just as Albus walks in. "What is going on he- MALFOY! What are you doing to my cousin?!! Why are you a rabbit....are you trying to SEDUCE MY cousin?" Rose smiled a bit, "Albus....Albus....Albus *slaps upside thie head* Listen to me, NOT a WORD about this to ANYONE. Or I swear to you Albus Potter, your crush on Lavina is out in the open." Rose said in a deceptively sweet tone, like poisoned chocolate. Albus's eyes widened ashe turned cherry red and he stuttered over his response. "Good boy, now run a long. I'll be up to the tower soon." She said smiling. He nodded and abruptly backed up, still glaring at Scorpius....who was still kind of bound by his robes. He left and she grinned. "Have fun baby bunny." She released his robes from the back quickly kissed his cheek. "See you in class tomorrow."

Scorpious scowled at her. "You..." he said pointing a finger at her. "You've made this a war now you realize." he threatened half jokingly.

She smiled and winked at him, then blew him a kiss. She walked to the Gryffindor tower and went to bed, grinning. Asshe closed her eyes, she said, "Bring it Malfoy."

The next morning she woke up got dressed and headed to breakfast. She saw Albus on the wayand he waved nervously. She grinned and then reverted backto her normal self. She squeaked by people and walked looking at the floor. She sat in her normal spot and nibbled on an apple and drank some milk. She fed Akuma some sausage. She scribbled a letter to the Weasley's asking how they were doing and sent Akuma off.

"Ms. Weasley~" A silky sweet voice cooed behind her, slamming a flyer down in front of her. "You're invited, my dear." Scorpious smiled at her, an almost Cheshire like grin sprawled across his lips. "Brave enough to accept?" he challenged.

You could almost see the horns holding up the halo as he spoke.

A few other Griffindors stopped eating to watch the odd exchange curiously.

Around the rest of the Great Hall, Scorpious had gotten other Slytherins to hand out flyers. He planned on having as many people present as possable.

'DARE, OR DOUBLE DARE
Sponcered by Professor Blackwell
WHERE: Great Hall
WHEN: Tuesday Evening; after supper
Show your gutts! House points will be on the line.'

She looked at him and smirked, "Oh am I? You really think I'd miss this? You don't scare me *in a really quiet voice* baby bunny." She smirked, "I'll see you then...too bad there will be too many people. Nothing too fun for me to do." she said with a mock pout in her voice. "I'll be there." She smirked and went back to her food. Something TOLD her to not go, but it was a challenge...and then a challenge accepted.

"You're a good sport." He smiled, messing up her hair. "See you then." he repeated, handing out a few more flyers to the surrounding students before walking off.

".... Um... Rose? What was that about?" Lilly asked, blinking.

Rose looked to Lilly, "What was what about?" She smiled sweetly. "It's just alittle friendly invite." ^.^She then headed off to Transfiguration class. Today they were turning animals into different ones. Childs play.

>>FF>>

At dinnerTuesday nightRose was excited and scared all at once, but eagerly waited for the game. She packed an apple in her robes as well as a juice box....just in case. She sat there and waited, shaking in excitement.

As the food faded from the tables, baskets with numbers appeared in their place.

The Headmistress rose at the staff table and the hall fell silent.

"For nayone not wishing to participate in tonight's event, please, return to your dormitories." she announced. "For those willing to partake, I invite you to stand up and mix! Sit with someone you do not recognize."

About 1/3 of the hall emptied out, while the remaining 2/3 shuffled their seats eagerly.

"I will now turn over, our first annul Dare or Double Dare even to Professor Blackwell." she announced, sitting down as the students erupted in applause.

The potions master stood up and waited for the cheering to die down before speaking, her wand pointed to her thought to amplify her voice. "Welcome!" she called. "In front of you are tickers, all numbered. Please, everyone pull one ticket out from the basket nearest to you." she read off instructions written by none other than Scorpious Malfoy himself.

Rose sat at the Ravenclaw table. There was afifthyear girl, giggling and whispering to a friend nextto her something about whathappened between her and some other guy last week. Then therewas a guy who was silent and just glaring at the table, he had black hair and he kinda looked weird in an awkward manner. Before he changed and suddenly said, "Hi I am Cael. I hope there are som ejuicy dares." She looked at him funny and shrugged, "It's a Slytherin driven event, I'm sure it'll ave tons." She drewa ticket, 22, and then she looked around in general, theGreat Hall loooked so different now. She was bouncing with fear and excitement. "When can we start?" She whispered to herself.

After everyone had a ticket, the baskets vanished and Blackwell called Scorpious forward.

"Tonight was Scorpious Malfoys idea. As such, we will give him the honor of being the first one dared." she announced.

Scoprious put his hands in his pockets, spotting Rose among the Ravenclaw table, fairly close to the staff table. he wiggled his nose at her with a grin.

"Alright, Scorpious. You have the choice of taking the dare I pull form this hat," sheheld up the sorting har, "Or taking a secondary dare- either a spell or potion you must take, delt by the last person to be dared. Since you are the first, I'll serve as the last person. Do you understand?"

Scorpious nodded, waiting.

"Dare: Sing a song from beginning to end, loud enough for us to hear." she read off. "Or, you can choose a potion or a spell." she gestured to the staff table currently covered in potions, with one large basket with shredded paper in it, a spell written on each slip.

"A potion." Scorpious decided.

"Alright." The professor tossed the dare back into the hat. "You may pick one potion and must drink it before leaving the stage."

A few people murmured, confused as to what might happen. Scorpious walked over to the table, looking over the viles before grabbing a light blue one, tossing his head back and swallowing the contents in one great gulp.

For a moment, nothing happened and the students began to complain-- though it was quickly replaced by laughter and applause, mixed with the 'awww's of a few girls.

Scorpious simply waved, grinning, long eared and bushy tailed- nearly a half a foot shorter as well.

"Alright, now you pull a number." Blackwell offered him the hat.

Scorpious pulled the number and looked down. "934." he called out.

Ravina stepped forward and stepped onto the stage. "Yes Scorpius?" She asked with a sweet tone. "Grab...... Grab the ass of the opposing player." Scorpius gave Ravina the most hateful warning look that quickly made her say, "Potion." She said. She picked a red potion and chugged after plugging her nose. She gagged a bit and she began to transform. She whimpered and shebegan to change into the guy who looks like Marcus Flint. She wailed and dashed out of the room, runningawkwardly andtripping over someone's leg and continuing to cry as everyone laughed at her. Blackwell: " Well then, Mr. Malfoy, choose again I suppose?" Malfoy drew a number "80."

A first year student from Huffelpuff got up from the far end of the room and hurried to the front, climbing up onto the stage with Scorpious' help. She made the blond jump with a slight yelp, grabbing his tail. "Worth it." she said happily.

Scorpious stared. "... Right...." Scorpious gave the girl an off look, taking a half step away from her as he held the hat out to her.

"Kiss a blast ended Skrewt?" she read off. She looked over to Hagrid and shook her head. "Um.... Um.... Potion!" she said.

Scorpious pointed to the table and watched as the girl grabbed a vile filled with murkey green liquid. She chuged it And blinked. "Well?" she asked. The girl jumped and let out a startled cry. Her hair has turned into many tiny snakes.

"Your turn to pull a number." Scorpious said, holding his pants on with one hand, offering her the hat with the other. After she pulled out number 143, he made his way back down to the tables, sittin beside Rose with a grin. "Enjoying yourself yet?" he asked.

She looked over to Malfoy and grabbed his tail sneakily, "Now I am :3" she said as she watched a Fourth year boy walk up. He pulled out a dare and he turned pale, "Do a dance that is at least two minutes and curtsy like a ballerina at the end." He promptly went and chose a spell. "PArtial Tranfiguration....what's that?" He looked at Blackwell who was grinning sheepishly, "Well here you are deary. She waved her wand around in the air around him in a spiralling circle. The blue light emitting from him was soft, he grew goat horns out of his head, hooves on his hands and a goat snout and tail. He bleated playfully as he laughed and then drew a number. "22" He said outloud.

Rose walked up after lightly flicking Malfoy's bunny ear and then drew a dare. OxO; "Point at a random person and they decide how many articles of clothing you take off." O//x//O;. She looked at the table of potions, then the hat of spells..... sigh. "Fine." Sheclosed her eyesand began to spin in a circle pointing her finger.

Scorpious raised an eyebrow, resting his head in his hand. Oh this would be good.

He didn't expect her to stop and point at him.

He blinked and looked around. "Oh.... Um.... Four?" he tossed out a number, smacking the handaway of a girl who attempted to play with his ears.

She glared at him and made a weird face. She took off her robes, her socks and shoes, and her outer shirt, leaving her in her skirt and sports bra. Her stomach tensed as the colder brezze hit her midsection and it showed off her abs. She pulled a number, and called out, "366." A girl walked upand pulled out a dare. "Hop around the room and say IT"S PARTY TIME BOYS, while pretending to twirl a lasso." She turned bright red and rapidly pulled out a spell. "Petrify." Blackwell muttered "petrificus totalus." And the girl froze completely. Someone tookher back to her seat and Rosedrew anothernumber. 34. Cael came up and he grinned and he pulled a dare, "Kiss the opposing player for five seconds." Rose couldn't even move away before Cael grabbed her, dipped her, holding her tight against him so she couldn't escape, and he kissed her hard, trying to get his tongue in before the five seconds was up, he failed. Rose walked back to her seat after gathering herclothes and wiped her mouth and ate her apple.

Scorpious' bunny ears were pin straight out on either side of his head, his face void of emotion. "... So." Scorpious had shrunk an additional two inches or so while sitting. "Both our cloths are half off anyway." he said wiggling his eyebrows when she looked at him, some how keeping the rest of his face as stoic as slate.

"Bring it bunny boy." She crossed her arms covering herself as much as shecould. "Don't test me, you might regret it. I have no shame at the moment."

One of Scorpious' bunny ears perked up slightly. "None?" he asked skeptically.

He rested his forehead against the back of her bare shoulder, letting his breath crawl down her spine. "You sure about that?" he asked, in the dark Great Hall able to get away with nipping her shoulder playfully with no one really noticing.

She smirked and watched the progression of people and theirdares. She very sneakily put her hand on his upper thigh and clawed lightly. She got close enough to scare and taunt him, but without touching anything other than his thigh, "Don't push your luck bunny boy."

Scorpious grinned, shifting slightly on the bench closer to her. "What if I do?" he asked coyly, "Haven't you ever heard of a lucky rabbits foot?" he challenced, tapping his toes beside hers.

She grabbed his crotch through his pants and rubbed teasingly before letting go. "That's more than a foot." she nipped one of his rabbit ears and continued watching.

Scorpious' ears ended straight up like TV antenna. He let out a small squeak when she grabbed him, shifting when she let go to protect himself from farther assault. "Bully." he accused lightly, kissing the base of her neck before pulling back to sit on his own as the dares went on.

She smirked, "Looks like it won me the war." She smirked and puther robes overher sports bra and began heading back to the towards the common room, slowly.

Scorpious raised an eyebrow and ear, then stood and followed her out, tripping over his pants as he went, nearly face planting at the exit.

"Hey." he called, stopping her. "Do you mean to tell me that's it?" he asked, sounding disappointment. "No 'hey Scorpious, awesome event', or 'Scorpious, that event sucked, or even a 'go fack yourself?'" he frowned.

She smiled and turned, "It was an awesome idea, but too many people....it's kind of a muggle game, with a magic twist." She said, stepping closer. He was still shorter and still with ears, she reached out and touched the ears softly. "Next time it should be fewer people." She kissed his neck and said, "I'm going to bed."
