A/N: Started as a little drabble challenge on a Hogwats LJ community. Must be EXACTLY 250 words and inculde the words Star, Moon, Sun, Angel, Fairy and Wings. I wrote about Rose/Scorpius 'cause it was something different for me – never written one, read one, or even really thought about the ship before – and it offered a new perspective.
Hope everyone enjoys!!!

"Hi, Rose." What an original way to begin the conversation, Scorpius. I am an idiot.
"Hi, Scorpius."
"So... Well, I thought we could just... You know, take a walk around the Black Lake. It's fall, and it's really nice this time of year..."
"That sounds great!" She smiled brilliantly, and my breath caught in my throat. She was so beautiful.
"Um... How was your first week?"
"It was really great. Professor McGonagall gave me an 'O' on my first assignment of the year."
"Congratulations!" I wasn't surprised - she had always been the intelligent one.
"Yeah. And I charmed fairy wings onto Samuel Flint for saying that Professor Longbottom only gives me good grades in Herbology because he knows my parents."
I snorted in an undignified way, and tried unsuccessfully to disguise it with a cough. The mental image was hysterical. "Git. Good job.
"... It's nice today. The sun's out." I was commenting on the weather...
"Yes, quite. I've always preferred the moon, though - and the stars."
"Really? Why?" I had never known that about Rose. It made me wonder what else I didn't know about her.
"I don't know. It's understated, I s'pose. It's subtle, but that doesn't take away from its beauty. The sun's quite pretty, but the moon reminds me of angels. It's absolutely gorgeous, but everything that it makes me feel is why I love it... I don't know. I'm probably being stupid. Don't mind me."
"... No, Rose. You're not being stupid. I know exactly what you mean."
