It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Scorpius was walking towards the Black Lake, his mind wandering. Why had Rose invited him here? They hardly even knew each other. They sometimes had short conversations, and greeted each other while passing through the corridors, but nothing more. He didn't know what could be so important for her to invite him somewhere, alone. He stopped walking, and surveyed his surroundings. The way the sun glinted across the lakes dark surface was completely amazing.

'Scorpius!' said a voice not too far away from where he stood. He glanced toward it. The long cascades of red hair were unmistakable. He walked toward her, until she was in full view.

'Rose, what did you invite me here for?'

'Sit down, Scorpius, and I'll show you.' Scorpius warily sat beside her, staring into her deep blue eyes. After staring for quite some time, he had to look away, turning his gaze towards the lake.

'It's beautiful, isn't it?' asked Rose. 'The way the darkness captures the light.'

'This wasn't what you wanted to show me, though, was it?'

'No, this is what I wanted to show you.' Rose lifted a silver chain from her pocket. Attached to the end was a golden object with a small hourglass in the centre.

'What is it?' asked Scorpius, tracing his finger around the hourglass.

'A Time-turner. My mother had one when she was my age. They were all destroyed though, many years back. Except this one.'

'Wow, how did you get it?'

'The owl brought it to me. I don't know who it's from, but mother said that each turn brought you back one hour.'

'Well, what are we waiting for? Give it a twirl!'

'I don't know, Scorpius, I've never used it before. Who knows what could happen?'

'Exactly! It'll be an adventure! How about two hours, then we'll be back to noon.'

'But what about school? They'll notice we're gone after a while.'

'Rose, we're going BACK in time, not FORWARD! I think you knew we'd end up doing this when you invited me here.'

'I guess you're right. It's only two hours, anyway. But, there's no way of going forward in time, what if something goes wrong?'

'Nothing will go wrong, Rose.' Rose had a worried look on her face, so Scorpius patted her shoulder re-reassuringly. Rose smiled at him, and Scorpius felt his heart rise to his throat.

'Okay, two hours.' Rose handed part of the silver chain to Scorpius. 'Put it around your neck, otherwise I'm the only one who'll go back in time.' He lifted it over his head, adjusting it so it rested comfortably above his Slytherin tie. Rose also put it over her head, lifting her ginger locks over the chain.

'Two turns.' Said Scorpius as Rose held the time-turner in her delicate fingers.

'Two turns.' Smiled Rose, twisting the device.
