Scorpius is in Ravenclaw, and Rose is in Gryffindor.
Smiling peacefully, Rose squeezed Scorpius' hand as they strolled around the Lake, even though it was around nine at night, and they weren't really supposed to be outside of their common rooms. The darkness was necessary though, as they were trying to keep their relationship a secret. They were both very sure of what their families would say; freaking out and forbidding the offending partner of their child to ever walk the planet again would be a big part of it. As they stopped near the large oak tree, Scorpius bent his head ever so slightly, his blond hair falling on his forehead, and kissed her gently. He smiled, cupped her cheek and whispered, "I love you."
It was the first time he had said that since they had begun their relationship, but there was no doubt in Rose's mind; "I love you too." She felt so calm, holding hands with him at this late hour, with the entire grounds to themselves. She longed for the hundredth time that they could be like this in public. No more secrecy. She felt his strong, slow pulse beating against his chest, and saw the gentle happiness that filled his face. He breathed in deeply, before saying slowly, " Rose," He gave her hand a squeeze, "I want to tell people. I want to hold hands with you on the way to class, I want to say goodnight to you and kiss you and be with you, I -" Rose nodded, whispering softly, "I know, Scorpius; me too,"
They spent another hour sitting side by side, leaning against the trunk, kissing and snuggling together, forgetting for the moment the huge rabble of screaming families they were very probably going to have to face.
