'Come on babe why not?'

'I just-'

'Don't you love me?'

'It's not that'

'Then what?'

That day I saw the confident girl I loved look at her shoes unable to answer me.

'Rosie, Sweetheart you being who you are, must have realised what has been happening. It's been six years can't you see we've fallen in love.'

'Scorp, I-we-us-it just can't happen.'

'I know it shouldn't but can't we try one date. We've been to Hogsmeade so many times as friends.'

'Exactly, as friends. Anything more and I don't think we will work.'

'Rosie...' I stood up straight and looked her in the eye, as a tear escaped my own. 'Please'

As she turned and ran from the entrance hall I collapsed to my knees not caring who saw me there, for the first time in my life I didn't hold back the tears that came.

I felt so bad leaving him there but I just had to me and him being who we were could never be peaceful. Our lives seemed to be combining more and more especially after I broke up with Lysander. Although deep down I did love him I couldn't bring myself to let him into my head. No matter how he seemed to me I had to remember what he had become. How he had finally shown his true colours.

I don't really know how long I stayed there but I only looked up when a cold hand touched my shoulder. It was Albus. Ever my friend he slowly helped me up and silently led me from the castle to the edge of the lake.

'Scorpius, what the hell happened to you.'

I closed my eyes and turned away.

'Running away is never going to make it better.'

'Al' I looked back at him 'I've been such an ignorant git' I turned fully to face him 'I never meant to hurt her but he was angry after what she did, he was going to kill her. I only hit her to move her away from danger, so I could deal with him and then comfort her. I guess things never work out for me.' Laying my head in my lap I asked the question that was burning inside of me 'Do you reckon she loves me?'

As Albus looked me in the eye I could tell this was going to be serious ' I think she wants to but is too afraid to show her real feelings'

'How am I supposed to get her to?'

'I don't know just act nicely to her and keep a calm exterior.'

As I reached the common room entrance I knew I shouldn't be there. I had to find Scorpius. I ran quickly to the entrance hall. He was gone. Undeterred I ran out to the grounds to the lake side.

After his words Albus left. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. Finally our lips met. We were in love.
