Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter

A/N: Hey everyone. A new series of song drabbles I'm putting together. I was inspired. I hope you enjoy it. (don't I always say that?) I seriously mean it though. Who knows if they'll be in a story plot line. They might. I make no promises though. Also I'll probably switch back and forth from points of view for some songs. This song is by Boys Like Girls.

Two is Better than One

I sat with Rose underneath our Beech tree. I mean it. We had just got back from a dinner with the Minister of Magic. It was for all prefects. I looked over at Rose. She smiled at me. Comforting silence surrounded us in the night air. There was no Albus, no Lily, and no Hugo. Just us.

"So," Rose broke the silence. She started rubbing dirt off her foot.

"So," I echoed, looking at her grinning.

We sat once more in silence.

"You wore that dress the day I came up and talked with you," I said randomly.

Rose started laughing. "I can't believe you remember that Scorp. I don't even remember the color of the shirt you wore yesterday."

"I like the dress you're wearing, thank you very much Miss Weasley," I snapped in a friendly way.

"Thanks Scorpius," Rose looked at me.

She started pulling on the hem of her purple dress. I stared blankly, watching at her. I shook my head suddenly to wake myself up.

"Scorp, when was the last time you had a girlfriend?" she asked, still picking at the hem.

I raised my eyebrows. When was the last time I had had a girlfriend?

"Maybe a year ago Rosie. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, I'm just curious." She looked up at me. "Have you thought about a girl in that amount of time though?"

Had I thought about a girl? Maybe.

"Not really. I think that being single works out better," I replied.

I stretched my legs out and put my hands behind my head and closed my eyes. Rose was a girl. Yes, we had been friends for a while. Did I think of her with any romantic interest? Uh---

I opened my eyes to Rose's head in my lap. She looked at me with mild curiosity. More of an expression of interest. To see how I would react.

"Rose?"

"Yeah?"

"Why haven't you dated anyone in the past year?" I asked her. I started playing with her curly auburn hair.

She shrugged. "I didn't want to see anyone get hurt, or to get hurt myself."

I rolled my eyes. Oh yes, the last time a boy had treated her badly the Potter and Weasley family teamed up to get the boy back. He had been in the hospital wing for a week.

"But I know you wouldn't hurt me Scorp," she added in a whisper.

I met her eyes and she stared into mine. She was intoxicating. I could smell her fruity perfume. My eyes met her lips. The shined with lip gloss. I was tempted to find out what flavor it was.

No, I was better at being single. I snapped out of my trance.

She seemed to have too because she lowered her eyes.

I was lying. Rose had been on my mind for weeks and months. She was everything I wanted. It was confusing. Romance was. I couldn't make up my mind. Friends or a couple? The question stayed alert in my head. I wasn't going to my a move until she told me to.

Rose rolled her eyes. "Scorp, I know," she said. "Go ahead."

"Wait, what are you talking about Rose?" my brain was going slower than usual.

"Kiss me."

She had just given me the okay.

I lowered my head and caught her lips in mine. They tasted like cherry. Her hands flew around my neck and pulled me tighter to her. I had to break us apart. I couldn't breathe.

When I broke us apart, Rose looked at me sadly.

"You didn't like it?"

"Rose," I laughed. "It was great. I just was being suffocated."

"Oh, sorry about that. I was a little excited," she blushed.

I just smiled at her. She stood up and held out a hand.

"Care to escort me back to the castle?"

"I would be honored Miss Weasley," I bowed, kissing her hand.

She giggled. We walked hand in hand to the castle.

Maybe two was better than one.

Okay, more chapters to come. Rose's purple dress is on my profile.
