Once both students had arrived for their shared detention Horace set them both to work on hand cleaning every glass phial in the potions storeroom which ought to keep the lads busy for at least the next few hours while the Potions Master hosts a lavish supper party right around the corner in his office.

"I'll be checking back in at random to ensure that there's no lolli-gagging." The old Head of Slytherin wagged a chubby finger at the youths. "I trust that you two will be on your very best behavior." It wasn't a warning but a jolly admission that Horace trusted in them and didn't have a single doubt in his mind that the two boys would not cause a ruckus like they had on the pitch.

"I appreciate the elbow grease lads." He grinned warmly, "If you need me I'll be right next door in my personal office, though do try not to disturb me less it's dire," He gave a grave look. "I'm having quite a few ministry officials over tonight, hoping to catch word of what's kept in that ever-locked room, the one pertaining to the study of love. Such a fascinating topic, wouldn't you say? Been looking forward to this get together for quite some time." Horace clapped his hands together in glee before he waddled out of the potions classroom, shutting the door with a soft click behind him and leaving the two boys to their own devices which probably was not the best idea but Horace would much rather spend his evening networking over mead than watching the two students scrub phials all night, it just might put him to sleep. So why not kill two birds with one stone.

Maverick watches his Head of House scurry away and rolls his eyes as he drops a bag to a bare tabletop. Moving past Scorpius Malfoy, he almost shoulders the boy out of his way. The Rotburn male sneers at the other, left arm in a sling from the Hogwart's Quidditch game and grudge still going strong between them.

With a sigh, he glares down at the tiny vials. Maverick decides that this is going to get interesting cleaning them without magic and sporting a broken wrist...

"Well, you're completely useless." Scorpius flatly observed, inclining his ashen head to Maverick's injured arm. "I say we use magic, I bet the old fart will never know the difference." Scorpius arrogantly mused, reaching for a nearby phial from the collection gathered on the tabletop and brandishing his wand at the tarnished vessel, stating clearly. "Scourgify" and watching as the dust and dirty disappeared leaving the surface all shiny and new again.

"What say you Maverick?" Scorpius inquired almost casually, his tone light despite talking to a boy he despised. "Think we can trick the old fool?" He asked him, casting him a sly smirk as his gray eyes flickered up from the phial to meet the Slytherin's evenly.

His hackles rose against the Malfoy, sure the Potions Professor was a bit ancient and lacking in certain observant skill, but he was a snake and snakes still together. With a frown, Maverick glares down at the vials, ramming his brain with any other ways to do this without breaking the tiny glass pieces. None came to the forefront of his mind and then Maverick kicked himself metaphorically why he hadn't considered using magic first... he just really didn't want the Ravenclaw male to get one over him.

In the old days it had been Gryffindor against Slytherin, but after a few generations passing and a new rivalry has stoked between Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

With a hissing sigh, Maverick slips the wand from his pocket and taps on one of the bottles silently. His magic channels through the stick and washes over the vial to clean it profusely. A small amount of magic with diligent focus, he raised his head to view all the thousands of little vails standing at attention over the countertop and cabinet beyond. Using their magic on all these wouldn't take as much time, but it would still leave them tired in the end... then a smirk raises Maverick's lips into a twist as the image of his Head of House pops up in his minds eye with a winning smile. He chuckles to himself, 'He knew we were going to rely on magic!'

Cheeky snake indeed.

"Sure thing Malfoy, lets trick a Slytherin Professor whose had years to practice dealing with unruly students."

Scorpius ignored Maverick's snide remark and instead busied himself with magically ridding the phials of dust, making them appear all shiny and new again. Still, even with the help of magic the tedious task was bound to take at least an hour or so, therfore he wouldn't be freed of Maverick's insufferable company just yet.

"This is all your fault, you and that barbaric temper of yours. Lunging at me like some sort of bleeding banshee. I hope you're pleased with yourself Rotburn, this is just how I envisioned spending my weekend." Scorpius sneered, his tone a low grumble beneath his breath.

Maverick's head jerks around with a nasty sneer as his eyes narrow accusingly upon the other. Where did this Slytherin-wanna-be get all the cock and glory that's been stripped away from the Malfoy name after the Dark Lord's defeat? Surely his father did a bit of 'caning' to humble the pompous heir a bit? Or maybe not with that insufferable proud flare in the tilt of the other's chin... How Maverick wishes to place a few knuckles on that face.

"My fault?! If you hadn't let that mouth of yours prattle along with burning beetle dung then maybe we wouldn't be in this situation. Have you ever thought that maybe this is your fault?"

"Not for a single second." Scorpius replied haughtily, narrowing his gray orbs at the other boy seated beside him.

"I'm not the one who lost control over their emotions. You really should learn how to behave properly in public, Maverick. Otherwise, you'll surely just continue to humiliate yourself and it's rather sad to behold, pathetic even." The eagle sneered pompously, smirking in dark amusement at the others expense, hoping to get a rise out of him. He wasn't sure why pissing off a prat like Maverick Rotburn felt so bloody good but he didn't care, he was beginning to enjoy the new, building rivalry between them, what with Rose and him having cooled down more than some. He now found that more often than not he was bored, for Scorpius was the type of person who thrived on conflict and a constant source of competition, it was simply in his nature. The difference with Maverick and Rose though was that Scorpius respected Maverick as his equal right off the bat, even if he didn't act like it outwardly, in fact if the two could just get over themselves and Scorpius had been rightfully sorted into Slytherin, they might've even been good mates in an alternate universe...

Scorpius' gray gaze penetrated into the Slytherin's evenly, silently challenging him yet sparkling attractively, almost softly, with sincere humor and curious intrigue. This bloke was a mystery to him and he was just beginning to figure him out, at least what seemed to ruffle his feathers, so to speak. He wondered just how far he could push him. Would he be foolish enough to hit him again, staring another barbaric brawl? He'd soon find out if he kept provoking the fiery snake.

Maverick bristled inside, he knows he has control issues on his temper. It's one of the reasons why he sets up layer after layer of gentlemanly fronts, to help stabilize all the meaningless wrath boiling and simmering in him always. It was like a curse, to be dealing with Rotburn Madness so young. It was said his father's started about the same time when he joined the last Dark Lord, but it's something only to be triggered in certain family members. The halfbreed is safe from it, the twins have their own issues with a demonic core, and Floki is more of an outlet where emotions and feelings just pass and disappear through. It isn't fair... It isn't fair!

He can here the tone of his grandfather, chastising him and telling him to remain guarded for vengeance at another time... but there is his father's voice as well. A vicious and wicked laugh that rolled through him. ~Strike~, it said with hissing Parseltongue...~strike now!~.

His eyes blazed and his blood thundered through his veins as he snatched up his wand. It seemed as if he's taken a step back in his mind as instincts take over to bring him whirling about to face the other, as if he were a backseat passenger in his own mind with only intentions fuelling him. The family called it the Beserker Mode this flavour of Rotburn Madness, but he didn't feel as if he were a beserker. He doesn't feel like a mindless raging thing.

Pain diminished into nothing but a dull throb and his magic rolled forward eagerly buzzing through the wand. He is distantly aware of the smile splitting across his face when he catches sight of the other male grabbing up their own median. And without knowing exactly were it had came from, maybe one of the books in Parseltongue he's been studying over, Maverick hissed allowed the Parselmagick with a fierce stab and twist of his wrist.

A sickly yellow pulsing light speeds across the short distance towards Scorpius Malfoy.
