A/N: Hello people! I'm writing this as a one-shot. I've really wanted to write some Rose/Scorpius lately. Those of you who have read my other Harry Potter story Unexpected, I'm not abandoning it and I will update soon. But read this, and review!

Disclaimer: I'd don't own Harry Potter. JKR does!

Rose stuck her head out of the closet. She looked around catiously then turned around andmotioned to someone that it was safe. Or so she thought…

The fiery redhead stepped out of the closet. Scorpius Malfoy followed her. She grabbed his wrist and motioned to his clothes.

"Scorp! People are going to know something's up if they see you with you're clothes looking like that. They'll think you've just been making out in a closet or something!" Rose looked terrified at thought of anyone finding out.

"Rose, I have been making out in a closet. With you." Scorpius rolled his eyes.

"But we don't want them to know that." Rose said in a 'duh' voice.

"I still don't get why we have to keep this a secret. We've been dating for a year." It was true. In their fifth year at Hogwarts, Scorpius and Rose had gotten together over an assigned project for Charms. They'd kept it up with letters over the summer and been reunited just two months ago. And of course, Rose had insisted they'd keep it secret, afraid of her family's reactions. She was such a Hufflepuff!

That's right. Rose Weasley was in Hufflepuff. Surprising but she did fit in there. She hated to do anything that would hurt the people she cared about. Unfortunately for Scorpius, she thought that telling her family about them would hurt them.

Scorpius really didn't care about what his family thought. He had had minimal contact with all of them except his mother since he had been sorted into Ravenclaw. And his mother would love him no matter what. And she'd convince his father. And as for his grandparents? Who cared!

But Rose wanted it a secret, so he went along with it. But he knew they couldn't keep it up forever.

"Rose we really should tell them soon." Scorpius said.

Rose gasped. At first he thought it was because of what he had said. But when she pointed with her jaw open, he followed her gaze. And his jaw dropped too.

Because emerging from the shadows was Rose's best friend and cousin, Albus Potter. He had heard everything.

---------------------------------------------------------------

(Albus's POV for the above scene)

I had had a feeling that if I followed Rose today, I'd see something big. She had been all secretive and stuff ever since we got back to Hogwarts. She'd disappear for long periods of time and come back all spaced out.

I finally narrowed it down to two possible causes: she was on drugs or she had a secret boyfriend. I figured it was the latter. She wouldn't do drugs. You must think I'm pretty dense. Well, I am. But hey, I'm not a Ravenclaw! I'm just a Gryffindor, and most of us are dense (with the exception of my Aunt Hermione). In my defense, I figured it out before the rest of my family. They still hadn't noticed a thing.

So I followed Rose. I needed to know who her secret boyfriend was. Because even though I had figured out why, I didn't know who. I certainly wasn't expecting the who it was.

After waiting what had to be hours, Rose's head finally emerged. She didn't notice me hiding behind the suit of armor. I was trembling with excitement. I was finally going to figure out the secret.

I froze as the door opened. I was staring at the guy who had been in there with Rose.

Scorpius. Bloody. Malfoy.

No wonder she was keeping this secret. I wanted to go out there and confront them but I couldn't move. My feet were stuck to the ground.

Their words wiped out any doubt that I had. They were dating. Had been for a year. How in the world did I miss that! Merlin! I'm dense!

It surprised me that Scorpius wanted people to know. And when he heard Scorpius say 'Rose we really should tell them soon' he was shocked enough to move out into the open.

(Back to normal third person POV)

Al had walked over to them, shock evident on his face. "What is going on?" He yelled.

"Well…you see…um" Rose stammered, her cheeks as red as the flower she was named after.

"We're dating. But I guess you already know that." Scorpius said, cutting right to the chase. Ravenclaws weren't the type to dally from the subject at hand.

"But how!" Albus spluttered. "How did you two ever get together?"

"It was over that Charms project last year. We had to work together so much. We got close…it just happened." Rose said, figuring she might as well tell the truth now.

"But why him? Why Rose? Why did ya have to pick Scorpius Bloody Malfoy, of all people?"

Rose was getting angry now. This was why she didn't want anyone to know! They'd never get it. But she was going to try and make them. "Hmm… I don't know." She said sarcastically. "Maybe because I love him? Oh wait that's not good enough! How about cause he's smart and beautiful and caring and sweet. How about how he listens to me, understands, and tries to help?"

Al jaw dropped again. Rose really loved this guy. It had to Scorpius! It just had to! URGH!

Scorpius wrapped his arm around Rose's waist and smiled. "I love your cousin, Albus. She loves me. I think we're perfect for each other. I bet if you looked, really looked, past all the prejudices, hatred, and lies, you'd see it too."

Al thought about it. He scowled. Scorpius was right. He could see it. The chemistry had always been there. The two had always gotten each other fired up. They fought passionately, but in a teasing 'I don't mean it' kind of way. They were top students, shoo-ins for head boy and girl next year. And they had that whole forbidden romance thing going for them.

"Fine. I guess I can't do anything about it. But I don't have to like it." He crossed his arm and pouted.

"Al, I know you'll get along great with Scorpius." She was smiling again, for a moment. Then she remembered something. "Al, you won't tell anyone right?"

"Maybe. Maybe not." Al smirked. "Rose, I'm not going to lie for you. You're just lucky our family is so dense. I'm the only one who even suspected anything. But I'm not going to lie outright. And I really think you should tell them."

Scorpius looked down at Rose. "He's right. We have to tell your family."

"I know." She sighed. "It's just so much easier not to."

"But think. We can finally hold hands and kiss in public."

"No more broom closets?" Rose asked.

"Not unless you want to." Scorpius smirked, pulling her into a kiss.

Al cleared his throat. When that didn't work, he yelled, "Hey! Grossed out cousin here!"

The two sprung apart, blushing madly.

"So when are you going to tell everyone?" Al asked to relieve the tension.

"I dunno." Rose said.

"Why don't we just show them?" Scorpius suggested.

"Show them?" Rose looked confused.

"Yeah. Just start kissing and holding hands in public."

"That's…not a bad idea." Rose admitted.

"So you'll do it?" Scorpius looked hopeful.

"Easier than telling them myself."

"I can't wait till tomorrow!" Al laughed. "It's going to be so awesome!"

"Why?" Scorpius asked.

"Because every male relative of Rose is going to kill you."

Scorpius gulped.
