When the sun set and the moon was up, Rose carefully exited the Gryffindor common room. Her quiet feet skillfully ran, making no noise. She stopped right outside the great hall, meeting Scorpius.
"You came" he said happily.
"Of course I came" she said taking his hand and leading him towards the front door "now come on before we get caught." She had an unusually strong grip, causing Scorpius to let out a little yelp. Once they were outside, Rose softened her grip on Scorpius` hand.
"Isn`t this nice?" Scorpius asked, eyeing Rose affectionately.
"Yeah" she said stiffly "but we should really go back, we`re getting awfully close to the forbidden forest." She nodded her head towards it`s dark tree line, her ginger hair hanging off of her head so elegantly.
"Don`t be scared" He said, a soft smile grazing his lips "I`m here." Rose`s tense shoulders fell slightly as she let herself be led farther away from the castle. "Here we are" he said, stopping when the two were at the edge of the castle grounds.
"It is nice" she said, sounding only half sure of it.
"Not as nice as you" Scorpius said, leaning in to kiss her. During this time of distraction, someone who had been concealed in the shadows attacked; leaving Rose unconscious on the ground.
