Led me straight to you
Scorpius held her hand, as they walked through the shadowy grounds of Hogwarts. He felt her hand shake as they strolled. Maybe because his girlfriend was Head Girl, as he was Head Boy, and she was afraid of being caught by Filch. Maybe it was because she didn't like the darkness. Or whatever third reason, she didn't have a reason to be afraid of anything; because he would die before he let someone hurt her. True, he had hurt her before, that was before he saw she was amazing. He squeezed her hand, as if to say "It's okay. I'm here". Her scarlet head turned and her brown eyes, looked into his silver ones, inherited from his father, and nodded. Grinning, Scorpius led her around the castle grounds, to the edge of the Black Lake. He sat on the very edge, and whispered "Look, you can't see the stars like this at the Astronomy Tower"
Rose nodded, mesmerized by the stars twinkling above their heads. They shined like crystals, laid on a velvety inky carpet. She let out a small sigh, of "Wow". Scorpius smiled, genuinely, not like the smirk he sends to the girls, who let out swoons when they see him in the hallways. He loved her child-like fascination, her intellect. He loved everything about Rose Weasley, daughter of two thirds of the "Golden Trio". When he neared her, his heart pumped faster, his eyes reflect his true feelings, unlike the rest of the time, where they feign emotion and shield the feeling locked inside. She, this girl, was the key to unlocking that guard around his heart. Rose noticed the small constellations, remembering her mother showing her how to see them, to her and Hugo. She nudged Scorpius's shoulder saying "Look, you can see shapes, formed by the stars"
He looked up, his gray eyes searching the darkness to find something. He said, after a few minutes "I can see...a pair of lines, kind of like stick people." She smiled, and knew which one he was talking about. "That one, Scor, is Gemini. Twins" she said, and she knew enough about twins. Her uncle George, had a twin, his name had been Fred. Uncle Fred, to legend, had been killed fighting in the legendary battle of Hogwarts. Scorpius laughed "Is this something muggles make up when they're bored?" She laughed as well "You can say that. But every star here has a story. I wonder what mine will be" she muttered quietly, staring out at the lake. Scorpius turned her head to his "Rose, whatever way our stories end, I know you have re-written mine, by being you"
He suddenly stood up, and pulled her to a standing position, holding her in his arms. "Rose, I've had a lot of lovers, but they were like northern stars, that led me straight to you". She looked up at him, her eyes looking staring straight into his, the brown to silver, and unlocking that guard, she said "Pointing me on my way, that led me to you. Scor, I never, ever will, go another direction "
