She was like fire. Her hair was the same fiery red as the flower that was her namesake, a rose. Her blue eyes shown like the very center of the hottest flame. Even when she moved she reminded you of a firestorm, constantly moving and full of energy.
He was like ice. His hair was an icy white blonde. His silvery eyes always seemed to appear full of ice when you looked in them. And he never let anyone see his emotions, he was essentially as cold as ice, never letting anyone in. That is until he met her...
They were complete opposites. Fire and ice. Gryffindor and Slytherin. Weasley and Malfoy. But yet they fit together perfectly.
When they met on the Hogwarts Express in first year she somehow managed to thaw him and get him to talk to her, unlike all the other kids whom he just ignored. Over the years she thawed him out little by little,never fully unfreezing him but making progress. Then in sixth year he started to freeze up again. He began avoiding her, afraid of letting people finally see the real him under his cold surface. She had no idea why he wouldn't talk to her and it frustrated her fiery, social personality.
So naturally being the wildfire that she was, she confronted him. But, he, being the iceberg he was just shook her off. Then as he tried to walk away the fire in her soul told her to do something she had wanted to do for a long time and she grabbed him and passionately kissed him. It took him a minute but he started kissing her back just as passionately. He couldn't believe it, he had loved her for so long. Finally, his cold exterior melted off and she saw the warmth underneath that she had known was there all along.
"I love you, Scorpius."
"I love you, Rose."
Because in the end the fire always melts the ice.
