Rats!
Literal, furry, black, worm-tailed rats. A lot of them.
Well that wasn't what Wes had intended the spell to do at all! The task was to transfigure a bowl of apples into a cage of doves. A little complicated, but dammit this was N.E.W.T level now! Wes had assumed if he could master the difficult stuff first, then the rest would be a doddle! Well, it was one theory at least. Having given up trying the homework from his last lesson Wes had just decided to throw himself on something hard.
At least the rats were alive though...it was close enough right?
He jumped up off the wall as the rats leapt from the bowl (which had changed from glass to wood...odd) and made a run for it across the courtyard where he'd opted to practice his magic alone. Transfiguration to be exact. His worst subject. Why the hell had he taken this at all?
"Stupefy!" He called, tugging his wand from his pocket to zap the nearest rat with a stun spell as they fled around his feet. Last this he wanted was to be blamed for an infestation at the school!

"Well, of course. The handsome one always wins." Scorpius pointed out, running a hand through wet blond hair and pretending that he didn't look utterly ridiculous. Of course, Wes wasn't a bad looking bloke himself but Scorpius would hardly have admitted such a thing out loud. The usually shameless Slytherin only flirted when he felt he had the upper hand in a situation, and this was hardly one of those times.

"Well, Longbottom." Scorpius gave him a considering look, searching for the right words, "It's been- bizarre." He slipped off his dripping outer robes and tried to wring them out a bit: the muggle clothes he wore beneath were plenty damp as well, but he would rather not leave a trail of water behind him as he returned into the castle.

"Obviously I'd kiss you goodbye, but I already told you I don't trust that mouth of yours." He threw a smug smirk.

Wes rolled his eyes and let Scorpius have that one, choosing not to argue. The two of them could've easily bickered over who was the better looking. Fact of it was they were both pretty hansome, and Wes would've had no problem admitting that (except not to Scorpius' face, because he had the funniest feeling he wouldn't have never, ever heard the end of it!).

Wes leaned back against the nearest wall and watched Scorpius taking off his robes, biting his tongue to prevent himself tossing out a little quip about getting a free strip-tease. Bizarre was an understatement. They'd gone from vaguely disliking each other to downright hating each other, to practically-friendly acquaintances in the space of an hour. He couldn't help but return the smirk at Scorpius' last comment and almost contemplated leaping forwards to plant a kiss on the unsuspecting Slytherin.
"Never on the first date Malfoy," He replied with a teasing tip of his head, moving his hair out of his eyes, "Maybe next time if everything goes well huh?" He winked cockily.

"Brush your teeth a couple times first and well see." Scorpius replied agreeably enough. "Maybe make it four...just to be safe."

Satisfied that he had done the best he could, Scorpius put his arms back into his wet robes, without doing up the front. Dominique had given him this weeks Prefects password and so he was planning on taking a nice long soak to make sure the February air didn't get him sick.

With a small almost salute, Scorpius said a quick "Cheers." and turned back to go inside. It was bloody freezing! Somehow he hadn't really noticed it before just now.
