Prompt: [livejournal.com profile] janefire  prompted me to write Scorpius and Rose as exes. =D

-------------------------

It was a matter of no importance. He could deal with them maturely, like the civilized adult he was. He took a deep breath, tightened his hold on his date’s waist and plastered a smile on his face.

“Rose,” he greeted curtly.

“Scorpius,” she murmured back just as icily.

He turned to her escort —honestly, of all people!—, every bit of his disdain shown clearly on his face, and drawled, “Wood.

In turn, she turned to his date to smile sweetly. “Zabini.

“Robin and I have been dating for two weeks now,” she informed him snottily.

“So have Portia and I, it would seem,” he told her before turning to Portia and smiling, “Haven’t we, sweetheart?”

Portia just gave him a look. He ignored the witch in favour of watching Rose from the corner of his eye, satisfied when he saw Rose suppress a shiver.

“Robin and I are going on a world tour together this weekend, aren’t we?”

He watched, disgusted, as the lovesick man nodded his consent.

“My parents love Portia,” he announced, breaking their exchange of passionate eye-sex.

“My parents love Robin too, more than they love me, actually.” She laughed and he clenched his fist.

He picked on the only thing she had never been able to do. “Portia rides horses.”

“I’d rather ride Robin,” she shot back crudely, shoulders squared.

He drew back as if burnt. “I’m so glad we broke up,” he hissed, “A proper lady never speaks as such in public.”

Rose arched an eyebrow. “And I suppose your sweetheart Portia is a right and proper lady, is she not?”

Portia threw her hands up in the air. “This is ridiculous!” she exclaimed before turning to Scorpius, “You’re being ridiculous!”

“Hey!” Rose interjected, fiercely protective, “Only I can speak to him like that!”

Scorpius rolled his eyes. “This is so typical of you. You can talk dirty to your new boyfriend but Merlin forbid my girlfriend call me ridiculous?”

She glared at him. “I was trying to defend you,” she hissed, enunciating each word with a jab at his chest.

He glared back at her hotly. “Maybe I don’t need your help.”

“Fine!” she snarled before stalking away from him with Wood in tow.

Scorpius glared in their directions. Rose Weasley was impossible to deal with.

Yay yay yaaaaaaaaaay! This is just how I pictured it! I just had no idea what circumstances they'd be in. You hit it right on the head.

You can talk dirty to your new boyfriend but Merlin forbid my girlfriend call me ridiculous?”

This made me laugh out loud. Thaaaaaaank you heaps for writing this!

You're welcome! I'm so glad you like this! =D♥ I didn't know what it was going to turn out like since I've really never written them outside friends/couples before. =D

I reckon exes have more potential for comedy than is realised! Okay I have to confess, the whole "Hey! Only I can be bitchy to him" "*eyerolling*" thing is something that has happened frequently with my ex and I. Sometimes I bicker with him just for fun. :P

I think it's great that you actually still maintain a relationship with your ex. My ex and I just spiraled into nothingness. >.

It cost us two years of drama (seeing him every day, having the same friends) and then six months of no contact at all before he got in touch with me, and then normality was established.

Aw that's a shame. :( Did you guys go to nothingness immediately? Sorry if that's too personal a question.

Well...we were mostly angry at each other. We broke up because of a fight. I don'r even remember what it was about so it must have been pretty unimportant. Then we didn't speak and we just progressed into ignoring each other for good. =/

(Do you mind if I added you as a friend? =D It's good to have more Scorpius/Rose friends around. =D)

Oh damn, do you miss him? Or is it all for the best?

Yeah definitely, great to have friends of that pairing. So my potential! And sorry that after I added you in the HP friending meme that I disappeared for weeks and just didn't use LJ. Massive hiatus with no real reason for it.

I think it's rather for the best. XD I can't believe I ever thought that we'd work out. We're a bit too different for my taste.

No problems. I call for hiatuses quite often too. And when I'm gone I'm normally gone for quite a long time. >.

Yeah I know what you mean. People say opposites attract, but how far can that be the case? Worries me as I wonder who will share my obscure interests. :P

Don't worry too much, the Mr. Right would be just right out there waiting to discover you. =D

I was already grinning from the first line. It was a matter of no importance. He could deal with them maturely, like the civilized adult he was. I thought hahaha this is so not going to be civilised.
