"Rose, I just don't think that there's any reason for us to keep this relationship up past this point." Scorpius said as he sat in the library with Rose.

"What?" Rose asked, lifting her head up from a book. Scorpius was looking at her as she processed what he had said and recognition dawned on her face.

"You heard me, Rose. Is there any reason for us to keep this up? Because if there is, please enlighten me." Scorpius said leaning back in his chair.

"I-I'm not sure I understand what's happening here. Are you breaking up with me or are you asking me if I would like to break up?" Rose responded, closing her book and turning in her seat to face him.

"God, Rose, are you that daft? Do you not understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" Scorpius asked.

"Excuse you, I understand what you're saying perfectly well." Rose grabbed her books, snapping her bag closed. "So. How was she?"

"What?" Scorpius asked, clearly confused.

"Whatever little tramp you found instead of me. How was she? Obviously good enough for you to leave me for her." Rose said, infuriated by his lack of emotion.

"This has nothing to do with another girl." Scorpius argued, but the red tint rising in his face gave his lie away.

"You know, everyone warned me about you. That you would break my heart into a thousand pieces, shatter it like an old mirror. And I told them that they were wrong." She laughed deprecatingly at herself. "I was so stupid. Some little lovesick puppy that I swore I never would be."

"Fine, Rose! What do you want from me? To tell you that I went behind your back and slept with another girl? Because fine, I'll tell you that! Do you want me to tell you that I did it because you weren't nearly as pretty as she is? I'll tell you that, too! Just stop with this self-deprecating crap that you're spewing out right now. Stop trying to make me feel sorry for you." Scorpius said, standing and walking out into the corridor.

"You should feel sorry for me! No, you should feel sorry for what you did to me! But you're sitting here, completely remorseless, not a thought to anyone except yourself! When did you become such a...such a..." Rose stumbled over her thoughts as she yelled at him down the corridor.

He turned to face her. "A what, Rose? When did I become such a what?"

"Such a good for nothing, unforgivable Malfoy?" She yelled at him. "When did you become everything my dad warned me about?"

"Maybe I've always been this way, Rose, have you ever thought about that?" Scorpius said, turning back around and sauntering down the corridor.

Rose stood, shocked by what had just happened before she took off down the hall after him. When she caught up to him, she grabbed him by the sleeve of his robes and turned him around.

"What the hell?" He asked, wrenching his arm out of her grasp.

"What about the Christmas Ball? You promised we would go together. Or is that just another promise that you're going to break?" Rose asked, trying to stop the tears gathering in her eyes.

"I already promised to take Violet Flint. Guess you'll just have to go by yourself." He said, turning around again, leaving her standing alone.

"Is she the girl you cheated on me with?" Rose yelled after him, but he didn't answer. She took that as a yes.

She took a deep breath, trying to stop her tears. She walked through the stone halls, her sniffles echoing around her as she walked back to the Gryffindor common room.
