The Day had been long and stress full for Rose Weasley, but she was excited for the Yule ball that night, there was a Yule Ball for Christmas, and her boyfriend was going to take her to the Dance….

Who?

Scorpius Malfoy of course…even though her dad told her very clearly and seriously not to be 'too' friendly with him and now they were snogging behind the school and on the Hogwarts express…the only people that knew other than Scorpius and Rose were Albus Severus Potter her favourite cousin and Stephanie Byrne, her best friend since her first year in Hogwarts, Albus and Stephanie were dating too.

Rose was expecting a package from her aunt Ginny, with a dress that her mother and Ginny picked some time for her, for the Yule ball.

Lily had already picked her dress so aunt Ginny spend more time helping Hermione to pick stuff for Rose.

Just as two owls came in the window Rose recognised the two owls Polo, her mothers, and Dulin Potter, Ginny's owl, carrying a square carton box.

"Oh Polo, Dulin what do you have there" Rose took the box and opened it, a sky blue dress laid there, a small golden box beside the dress was there too, rose with no hesitation took the box and opened it two crystal earrings shun in there.

Rose was thrilled she couldn't wait till eight o'clock that night to wear that dress and earrings.

She pulled the box under her bed covering it with a cloth and walked out of her room, of course she was the head girl and had her own room away from the Gryffindor tower and Any other dorms in the castle because she shared the Head Boy/Girl Common room with a Hufflepuff and it wouldn't have been fair to the Hufflepuff always walking so far up to the Gryffindor tower or for Rose to walk all over to the other side of the castle to go to the Hufflepuff Dorms, so they had their own common room near the Great Hall.

"Oh Hi Rosie" said Stephanie who just happened to pass by "I was going to look for you just now"

"Hi Ann, have you seen Scorpius?" wondered Rose

"No, last time I seen him was before second period" she responded "in Charms"

"Oh, ok" said rose a bit disappointed

Then the warning bell rang. They had five minutes to get to Potions before the starting

bell rang for class.

"Come on Rose, we don't want to be late for class" Stephanie said pulling Rose along.

"Okay I'm coming Ann don't rush it" said Rose still grabbed by Stephanie.

Stephanie and Rose had just arrived as the bell rang and watched other students who were chatting or spell casting, until Professor Binns came in.

"Mss Weasley, Mss Byrne nice of you to join us, please take a seat" said Binns as he entered the room.

"Told you we were going to be late" Whispered Stephanie.

"We weren't late we arrived just in time" protested Rose, they took their normal seats at the back of the class room, Scorpius and Albus sat in front of them, Al gave a little smile at Stephanie, who gently smiled back, and Scorpius passed a note to Rose,

How's my Rose been?

Good and you?

Great actually do you mind if I steal you for free period?

No actually I would love you to

Same spot as always?

Same spot

They kept passing notes about what they wanted to talk, anything that reminded them of each other, all class until the bell rang.

"Rose, lunch time" said Stephanie to an immobile Rose

"What? Oh sorry I didn't realise class was over" said Rose taking her books and stuffing them into her bag.

Stephanie and Rose walked Down to the Great Hall talking about the Yule Ball, when they arrived they sat in their regular places.

"Rose, get some more to eat an apple wont just get you through the day" said Stephanie watching Rose nibble an apple

"I'm not hungry" Rose told her "and I have to finish a project on magical creatures"

"But that's not due until next Monday Rose; you'll have all weekend to do it"

"I know, but we have so many other assignments to do, too. And plus, if I do it now, we can have more time to hang out this weekend."

"Oh, fine. You'll be in the Great Hall for free period though, won't you?"

Rose shock her head sadly "No I think it might actually take two periods sorry steph"

Rose gave her a small hug and walked out of the Great Hall she knew she had done the essay two days before but she wanted to spend enough time with Scorpius as possible.

She walked quickly to the north tower where the divination classroom was once been in, (now an abandoned store room).

The room was small with a lot of empty boxes, Rose walked carefully not to make any noise she searched the room slowly but seen no one then a small candle was lit in front of an open door, Rose walked in a small hall was there that led on to another room more candles and rose petals on the ground that led to the other room across the hall.

She opened the door. "Oh My" she said as she seen a fifth year blond boy resting on a brown couch.

"Well there, I was waiting for my girlfriend, but I don't think she'll mind" he got up slowly and held her hands, and with a fast move he swirled rose around to the couch and kissed her, she graved Scorpius by the neck he was on top of her, her legs wrapped around his hips, their breaths became rising rapidly, he buried his hands under Rose to hold her close. while she kept her hands running through Scorpius' hair

Scorpius moved a little further and un-buttoned her first button.

"Scorpius"

He ignored it and continued

"Im not ready"

Scorpius then leaned back onto his seat he had been turned on but now he had to stop

"I'm sorry"

"No its fine I'll wait until you are ready" he said giving her a light kiss in the cheek

And they cuddled together on the couch.

That night every body got ready for the Christmas Yule ball. After their trip to the Divination Class room, Scorpius and Rose went back to their dorms to get ready for

the Ball.

In the Gryffindor dorms the space was getting limited.

"ehem…Stephanie lets go get ready in the girls bathroom its too crowded, I can't even move here" said Rose taking a big bag were her dress was and a small bag were her make up was.

"Ok" said Stephanie also taking a bag with make up and her dress.

They walked down to the bathroom and watched as some other girls also were changing.

"So what where you doing in your free period?" Steph asked curiously

"I was with Scorpius"

"Ha I knew it" Stephanie teased

"yeah we where in the old divination room"

"Did you…you know did 'it'" Stephanie asked coming closer

"No" Rose said

"Where you?"

"No I told him I wasn't ready and he said he was fine with it" Rose said but steph wasn't convinced "You know when guys say they are completely fine with it, they might be getting it from someone else"

"No, Steph, Scorpius would never do that he loves me"

"I know, I know I just… you know, from experience I don't want you to get hurt"

"yeah I know, but have you and Al yet?"

"No, he told me he was fine with it but not completely fine he still wanted to do it so when im sixteen we are going to"

"Oh but that's like just months away" Rose said a bit worried

"I know"

The other side of the castle…

Scorpius tied his white tie to his vest and cleaned his shoes slowly side to side with a cotton fibred cloth and combed his hair.

"You know, James and Hugo are going to kill you when they see you with Rose" said Al

"Thanks Al you really know how to lift my spirits" said Scorpius a bit nervous

"Oh I was just saying keep your wand near" Al said "you know we the Potters and the Weasleys are always very over protective of our relatives mostly if they are females"

"But why?, you don't really mind me and Rose, and all of the others do, and a lot" wondered Scorpius

"Well you are my best mate and you love rose, and I know you would never hurt her I'm telling you if I didn't know you and you went out with Rose I would scare the living daylights out of you" Al sounded quiet proud as if he really meant and cared about Rose.

"But I do have to ask" Albus said becoming more serious "Are you sleeping with Rose"

"What…Al that's-"

"Yes or no"

"No Al she said she isn't ready so im waiting until she is completely and a hundred percent ready" Scorpius reassured him

"Well that's good but you know if you are mind her its just Rose is very important to me"

"I know"

"Are you and Steph doing it?"

"Nope, she also says she isn't ready" Albus said tying his tie "And im fine with it"

They both finished grooming and looked one last time in the mirror.

"Ready?" asked Scorpius fixing his hair one more time.

"Ready!" came a reply from Albus

Back to the girls….

"Oh my gosh you look beautiful" Stephanie was astonished at what she just seen Rose Weasley in a blue sky dress that suited her perfectly, with her reddish hair down, two crystal earrings, a bit of make up, which she did not need, she looked beautiful, her smile made her look even more beautiful.

"Thanks you look beautiful too Stephanie" said Rose, Stephanie wore a light purple dress her hair was short, black and was spiked to the side of her neck, which didn't go longer than that, with brown eyes and no earrings she was beautiful too.

"Al is so lucky to have you, tonight" said Rose complementing.

"Scorp, is so much luckier" Stephanie complemented her, Rose looked at herself in the mirror and checked there wasn't any forgotten piece of food in her teeth, that her breath was suitable for the night, and that her smile always was there;

"Ready?" Stephanie asked eagerly

"Ready!" Replied Rose

The Great Hall was filled with icy appearance the sealing was enchanted to make it look like it was snowing, the tables made of ice enchanted for them not to melt or to wet the person who seats at them and the chairs also were pure solid ice the ice felt like wood but it was clear and cold, students walked in and out with their partners and talked.

The Dancing stage was not yet allowed to dance on until eight o'clock but it was just ten to eight and everyone was just too exited.

"Have you seen Rose anywhere Al?" wondered Scorpius

"There" he ignored Scorpius, he seen Stephanie, astonished at her beautiful appearance "y- you look amazing"

"Rose will be here in a few moments, don't worry Scorpius" said Stephanie when she seen that Scorpius looked anxiously around for Rose.

Rose peeked her head over the door she looked at the stairs and thought of how long they were,

'oh no everyone is going to see me when I go down' she thought.

Some courage filled her when she seen Scorpius beside Stephanie and Al, she walked out from behind the door; down the stairs, a lot of people fixed their eyes at Rose who looked rather amazing.

" You look perfect and beautiful Rose" complemented Scorpius taking her hand , Hugo approached them

"Hey want to take a picture" asked the camera man

They all agreed and went closer to each other, Al, Stephanie, Rose, Scorpius reached in to get in the picture.

The Bells rang and the dance started "Shall we!"
