"Rosie, you look great!" Amanda Parker, Rose's best friend, squealed. "Scorpius is going to love this!" Rose smiled in reply, and mentally thanked God for giving her Amanda. What would she have done without her? On every date Rose had been to, Amanda had dressed her up. She could really do magic. And she was glad Amanda had lived up to her expectations today.

It was 13th March, the day that held great importance to Rose. Today marked the one year anniversary of her relationship with Scorpius Malfoy. She remembered their starting years, fighting and screaming. After all, he was a Slytherin and she, a Gryffindor. He was a Malfoy, and she was a Weasley. But slowly, they had overcome their differences and started going out.

"Well, I'm off now. You have fun back here, okay?" Rose smiled and picked up her gift for Scorpius. It was the latest Quidditch book, written by her Uncle Harry. He would love this. She slowly walked out of the Gryffindor Common Room, making her way to their favorite secret spot. She laughed as she remembered the beginning of their relationship.

She remembered being frightened of dating him, hearing the rumors of his affairs. He was Scorpius Malfoy. The Slytherin Prince. Why would he want her? He could've had any girl he wanted. And when he had asked her out, she had warned him that she wasn't to be messed with. "I don't share, Malfoy. If you want me, then it has to be only me." But, as much as she had doubted him, he had actually changed. He had been true to his word and faithful. In fact, he was the only one who made her feel protected. He gave her a sense of security. And she truly loved him.

She had been surprised when she saw a different side of him. He wasn't as arrogant or cold as he pretended to be. He was the exact opposite; sincere, sweet and overly protective. She remembered about a dozen boys who had ended up in the Hospital Wing for giving Rose the 'wrong kind of stares'. She acted as if it annoyed her, but secretly, it was something she deeply admired.

Her train of thought was broken when she bumped into Anna Zabini. Rose fell down and watched as Anna got up, giving Rose a cold glare. "Watch where you're going, Weasley." And with that, she bounded up the stairs and vanished.

Rose slowly got up. "Annoying little prat." She murmured. Anna had been Rose's rival for a while. Rose remembered when she had recently begun dating Scorpius, Anna had confronted her. She had asked her to leave Scorpius alone. But Scorpius had rejected her like a broken rag doll. She had been bitter ever since.

A few minutes later, she climbed the stairs, heading to the astronomy tower. She started hearing a murmur of voices. That's odd, Rose thought, no one ever comes here at this time. She started making her way to their secret spot near the window. It was where they had had their first date, and had sneaked to a couple of times. By now, the voices grew louder. Rose stopped in her tracks as she recognized the voices and what they were saying.

"I love you, darling." Scorpius's voice drifted over.

Rose heard a sickeningly sweet giggle. Anna, she thought. "Oh sweetie, I love you too."

Dread filled Rose and she slowly moved forward. There, against the wall, were Scorpius and Anna. Scorpius had his hand around her waist as he kissed her, his other hand in her hair. Rose felt as if the floor was pulled out from under her feet. She staggered back and a low sob escaped her throat. She dropped her book, and it landed on the floor with a loud thud.

At the sound of her voice, Scorpius and Anna broke apart. Scorpius stared at Rose, a look of confusion across his face. He kept glancing between Rose and Anna. Anna held a smirk on her face. "Oh dear, it seems as if emotional drama is on its way here. My work is done. Goodbye Scorpius." And with that, Anna walked away, both Scorpius and Rose not bothering to stop her.

Rose stared at Scorpius in disbelief. She started sobbing, unable to hold back her tears. Scorpius started to walk towards her but she backed away. Finally, she turned around and ran away; not wanting to hear any excuses that Scorpius would come up with.

"Rose, wait! Please, Rosie, I can explain!" Scorpius shouted after her, but she ignored him. Finally, he caught up with her and caught her wrist, pulling her back. "Rose ple—"

He broke off as Rose turned around and slapped him hard enough to make her own hand sting. He looked at her, disbelief visible in his expression, his hand cupping his cheek. "Don't you dare touch me again, you pathetic little liar." And with that, Rose freed her wrist and walked away, leaving a heartbroken Scorpius staring after her.

Rose was about to make her way to the Gryffindor Common Room, when she bumped into someone. It was Albus Severus, Scorpius Malfoy's best friend and Rose's closest cousin. Albus was about to smile when he saw her tear stained face. "What's wrong, Rosie?"

Rose caught him in a bone crushing hug, crying her eyes out. "Rose, tell me. Why are you crying? Did something happen?"

"It's Scorpius. He c-ch-cheated on me."
