The next day I was at my desk working in the International Magical Office of Law. I work with mainly two countries, New Zealand and Australia about laws. I was about to make a floo call to New Zealand when I got a letter. I opened the letter.

'Rose,

If you aren't doing anything Tuesday, would you like to do dinner.

-Scorpius'

I grabbed a piece of parchment and wrote him back. Telling him I was free and that would be great. I couldn't shake the smile all day even when I had to go and see my mum about something or when my grandmum came over to apologize for yesterday. I know they both saw something but I didn't tell them what was going on. I didn't even tell Lily because I knew she would want to be here to meet Scorpius.

Tuesday was here and I decide on a blue dress that fitted me perfectly. I made sure that my hair wasn't too wild and put on some make-up. Scorpius was here at seven. He was wearing jeans and a white button-up shirt that was unbuttoned at the top. To me he looked good enough to eat. He looked me up and down. He liked what I was wearing. He smiled and my heart did a few backflips.

"You look beautiful, Rose." He took my hand and led me out of the building. He hailed a cab. He took me to a little restaurant where the food was good. We sat there and talked.

Scorpius walked me to my door after dinner. He was holding my hand when he stopped in front of my door. "I really had a good time Rose." He leaned over and kissed me. At first I thought it was going to be quick kiss but Scorpius deepen it. He arms snaked around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck. We stood there kissing not thinking about anyone walking in on us. Scorpius broke the kiss. We both took a couple of breaths before either one could say anything. I was the first to say something.

"Would you like to come in?" I asked him. Scorpius smiled.

"I would love too but I don't want to rush things with us." Scorpius leaned over and gave me a kiss. "Good night, Rose."

"Would you like to come over for dinner Thursday?" I blurted out.

"I would like to. I'll bring the wine." Scorpius gave me one more smile before walking away.

I sighed, let myself in my flat, and leaned against the door. I knew what would have happen if he came in. We wouldn't have stopped at kissing. Was I ready to lose my virginity? There was something that felt right with Scorpius and not the other two guys I dated. I think one of the best things was he didn't want to rush it. I think part of me was falling for him even after two dates.

I got off the door and went to my room to get ready for bed. As I went to sleep I couldn't shake my smile on my face. I had dreams of him that night.


The next morning I had a half day at work because I had to go to the fitting with Roxanne, Lucy, and Lily. We were meeting at the Leaky Cauldron and I was running late. We were meeting at noon and it was now twelve-thirty.

I ran through the door of the pub and saw them sitting in a corner booth. Lucy was nursing her son, Daniel, Roxanne didn't look very happy that I was late; Lily was trying not to laugh. I made my way over to them. "Hello, sorry I'm late." I took a seat next to Lily. Roxanne threw me a look. "I got caught up at work." Roxanne narrowed her eyes.

"I told you to take the whole day off," Lily said. She took a chip off her plate and put it in her mouth. I shook my head.

"Sorry, someone called in." I said.

"We have an hour before we have to be at the fitting. I don't think you are going to have time to eat." Roxanne scolded me.

I smiled. "I sent my order in and it should be here soon," I looked in the crowded pub and saw a waitress bringing my food now. She placed the food in front of me. We talked while we finished eating.

After we left we walked to the dress shop, Roxanne kept throwing me looks like I was making us late even when we were right on time. I just thought about last night and how happy Scorpius made me. We got to the dress shop and Roxanne gave them her name they very happy to help us with the name Weasley.

Roxanne was the first to go and she came out in a beautiful white dress. I thought she looked beautiful and Jack was going to be a very happy man. Lucy was next, I took Daniel from her. Roxanne looked at me. "Are you going to bring anyone to my wedding?" I didn't bring people to my cousins' weddings because they would think that there was something there when the person is just a friend.

I thought of Scorpius and I thought we would have a good time at Roxanne's wedding. I smiled. "Maybe," Lily knew I was talking about Scorpius even if she didn't know his name by the look on her face.

Lucy poked her head out of the dressing room. "Wait Rose is bringing someone to the wedding."

"I said maybe." I rolled my eyes.

"Who is the lucky guy?" Lucy asked.

"I just met him and we been on two dates," I couldn't stop the smile growing on my face.

"You went out with him to dinner didn't you?" Lily asked. I nodded.

"Last night and we had a great time. Tomorrow I'm cooking dinner for him." I said.

"You still didn't tell us his name," Roxanne stated.

There was something about keeping his name a secret that no one would know but me. And maybe he would stay just mine for a little while longer. I looked at their faces and they were all waiting for me even little Daniel to say something. I smiled. "If I tell you his name you can't tell anyone or look him up." They frowned when I told them this because I knew they would have looked him up and tell their other half. After two second they nodded. I smiled just thinking about Scorpius. "Scorpius Malfoy," Then Roxanne and Lucy started asking me questions. We finished the fitting with Roxanne and Lucy wanting to meet him. Lucy and Roxanne went home where their men where. Lily followed me home.

When we enter my flat, I said. "Don't say anything about meeting him because I want him all to myself right now." Lily wanted to say something but I said instead. "Do you remember when you started dating Jeremy and you didn't want your parents to know that you were dating him because they knew his parents and they would start planning your wedding even before you were ready." Lily nodded. "I don't want that just yet."

"Ok, if you are happy I'm good. Do you think he is the one?" Lily asked. We made our way to the kitchen to make a pot of tea. I just put the water on when there was a knock on the door. Lily went to get the door and came back with Scorpius. Scorpius was in front of her and I saw Lily looking him up and down. Scorpius came over and gave me a kiss. Lily was nodding her approval.

"Rose, I hate to do this to you but I have to change the date of your cooking I have a family thing that day." I nodded. "How does Friday look?"

I smiled. "I can't dinner with the parents," Scorpius nodded and smiled.

"Saturday," I nodded. Scorpius kissed me again when I heard someone coughing behind me. I forgot Lily was here.

"Sorry, Scorpius this is my cousin Lily," I pointed her out. "Lily this is Scorpius." They shook hands and said hi.

"Rose, I'll see you Saturday." Scorpius left. Lily watched him leave before she said anything.

"Wow, he is gorgeous. If I wasn't so in love with Jeremy and he didn't only see you I would try to get him in bed. Yum,"

"Lily," I shook my head at her. Lily laughed and threw her arms around me. We went into the living room with the tea. "I guess you are happy now that you met him." Lily laughed.

"Very much so, I think you should bring him to the wedding." I sighed. "You should show him off to the family and make all the girls jealous." I shook my head at her. The rest of the night Lily kept throwing that in the conversation.


I put the finishing touches on dinner that I was making for Scorpius. He would be here in a half an hour. I smoothed down my skirt and made sure there wasn't any cat hair on it. Dinner was a recipe that my Grandmum Granger always made for me and Hugo when we went over to visit. I knew it was something he would like. I went around the house to make sure everything was in its place. I was nervous about us being alone in my flat. I never really had a guy over who wasn't a family member or close to it. The person who was over the most was Lily. Everything looked good.

Scorpius knocked on the door a little before seven- thirty, I opened the door with a smile. Scorpius stood there with a bottle of wine and a frown on his face. I reached out to hug him but he stopped me. "Rose I need to talk to you before this goes any further. I really like you and I don't want to lose you."

"Then don't bring it up," I moved out of the way to let Scorpius in. I closed the door behind him. I led him to the kitchen where the table was set for two. Scorpius took a seat at one of the chairs.

"I need to get this off my chest." Scorpius put the bottle on the table. I sat on the edge of the table. "You know that my family was death eaters," Rose nodded. "My family's home was headquarters to Voldemort and his followers. My family was one of main followers of Voldemort was one of the reasons people didn't like me back at Hogwarts. I thought that they weren't important but they were. I left because people only thought I wanted to bring back the past. No one got to know me," Scorpius looked me in the eye. "I'm sorry. If you don't what to me be with me I'll understand."

I sat in his lap. Scorpius put his arms around me. "The thing is my great-aunt tortured your mum back in the war." He turned away from me. I turned his to face me.

"Scorpius, where did you hear this?" I asked.

"When I told my parents that I was dating you. My dad knew who your parents and told me the story. I felt bad."

"Scorpius that happen in the past and it has nothing to do with us now." I kissed him. "I want to be with you and see where this going because there is something between us and I want to know." I kissed him again before I got off his lap. "Now, that's have dinner because I'm hungry."

I went to the kitchen and brought out dinner. Scorpius poured the wine. "What did your parents say to you dating me?" I asked after we had food on our plates.

"They can't wait to meet you." Scorpius smiled. He took a bit of food. "This is really good."

"I guess we will meet each other parents later." I took a bit of food. We talked and ate the food. We ended talking on the sofa. We made out for a bit before Scorpius had to leave. We wanted to take things slow for awhile.
