Writing a note for her parents, telling them that she was heading out for a while, Rose rushed up the stairs to her bedroom. Closing the door quietly behind her, she went to her unpacked bags and began riffling through her belongings, only to find that none of the clothes suited the occasion. But, what clothes did one wear to possibly stop a wedding?

"Ugh!" Rose screamed as she threw things around, desperately searching for something to wear. It was already past three-thirty, she had to get ready and get there before Scorpius slipped between her fingers forever. She went through her clothes again, hoping to find something appropriate to wear, again, she found nothing. Massaging her head, she considered heading over to her parents' room and asking her mother for a dress. But, then that would result in her mother knowing where she was going and she didn't want to do that.

That's when her eyes fell on the cardboard box peaking through the half open closet door. Trembling with adrenaline, she rushed to the box, and grabbed it off the shelf, her hands shaking as she opened it. A wave of calm soothed her as she stared at the emerald green dress that lay in the box. It had been Scorpius's last gift to her.

Rose picked it up and held it in front of her. It was a sleeveless V-neck, the swooping material falling mid-way down her back, which stopped just above her knees. There was a thin band of black that accentuated the curve of her waist. It wasn't overly grand, it was elegant and classy. Exactly the way she liked.

She quickly put it on, and braided her hair sideways, leaving free messy curls around. It was almost funny that she was dressing up to have her heartbroken, but was hoping to stop Scorpius' possible marriage. She did feel guilty of course, and tried not to think of it. Putting on light make up, accessories, and black stilettos, Rose left the note for her parents on the study table in her room. Taking a deep breath, she apparated.

Standing in one of the many entries of Malfoy Manor, Rose relived many memories. She had been sure that this entry would be the least used, and so it had been. The white mansion stood in front of her proudly. She remembered how scared she had been on her first visit, when she and Albus had been invited to stay a few days when they were eleven. She smiled despite herself. So many years had passed since then.

She trusted that the many years which had passed would make her unrecognizable to everybody else. So, unless she ran into her brother, her cousins or Scorpius' parents, she doubted anybody would know that she was his ex-girlfriend. Ignoring the possibility that she could get caught, she entered. The house looked exactly the same as it had when she had last visited.

Cautiously, she started walking up the steps. Random people, mostly women, were running about carrying things. That was common in weddings, she knew that. It was ten past four, so she started to walk faster, heading toward Scorpius's room. Before Rose reached the room, she made one stop on the way, at one of the guest rooms. And found that the bride was getting ready there. Making sure she wouldn't be noticed by her, Rose watched Vera. Vera was shouting down orders at the bridesmaids angrily. Her hair was held up in a grand manner, but she couldn't see the rest of her dress. Rose did see her family though, all gloating like pigs dressed in their magnificent clothes.

She had to find Scorpius soon! It was getting late, and at any moment, Scorpius would go down to the alter. Vera would come marching down the stairs, and then she would walk down the aisle where would marry Scorpius.

"Stop being such a pessimist!" she told herself, but she knew there was a large possibility of her fears coming true.

Just as she was about to walk to Scorpius's room, someone pulled her by her arm into another room, and she heard the door lock click.

"Who do you-" Rose was about to shout when she realized who it was.

Albus…her brother, her best friend!

"Albus!" she exclaimed and hugged him.

"I knew it was you," he muttered as he hugged her back.

"What? Aren't you happy to see me here?" she asked him, moving back to look at him. He had completely changed, all the boyish features gone. He was now a man, which made her wonder how much Scorpius had changed.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, incredulous.

"I-I just had to see him," she mumbled.

"After all these years? And today?" Albus snorted.

"It wouldn't have happened if someone had told me he was getting married! I move back here expecting something entirely different, and all I come to know is that my whole family is keeping secrets!" Rose snapped.

"He didn't want you to know Rose," Albus whispered.

"Really? And you listened to him? Didn't think for once that I ought to know?" She snorted.

"He had good reasons," he answered, his shoulders slumped.

"I don't believe it, I want to see him, please move."

"I really think you should leave, I love both of you, and I don't want either of you hurt," he spoke sympathetically.

"I think that ship has sailed Al," she replied.

"And whose fault do you think that is?" He snapped.

Rose didn't have an answer to that. She just watched him, feeling heartbroken already. Maybe Albus was right, and she should leave, "Scorp… He was way too broken when you left. And it took him quite a while to get back on his feet, and yes, I agree you should have been told, but it wasn't our decision Rose. It was his! I think that he didn't want you to know because deep down, he was just scared."

"Scared of what?" Rose whispered.

"Your reaction mostly…He knew it would hurt him if you didn't care, and if you came back, I'm pretty sure he would have given up everything and gotten back with you. That's why he waited too long. He never thought things would get so serious with Vera," from the way he said Vera's name, Rose could tell that Albus didn't like her much, he continued, "he was still waiting for you to get back I think. But finally, he decided to do what he thought was the best."

"So, this marriage is nothing but a convenience?" She knew she shouldn't feel hopeful, but she did.

"That's what Vera wanted, and he loves her enough," Albus didn't answer her question. "Don't hurt him, don't hurt yourself, go back Rosie," he placed a kiss on her cheek and left the room.

Rose went cold at the thought of Albus being right. She had hurt Scorpius enough, she shouldn't do anymore damage. Rose decided to wait in the room until the wedding started, and then she could slip out and leave. She could have apparated back, but she didn't have the strength to. Instead, she waited until the noise in the manor began to lessen. She glanced at the clock in the corner and saw that it was four-forty. Knowing that the time had come, Rose walked out the door.

She had reached the end of the stairs; and she could hear the minister's voice speaking about how beautiful that union of their two souls was.

It hurt to know that someone else was standing in that place where she was supposed to stand. But, it had been all her fault. She was the only one to blame!

"…speak now, or forever hold your peace," these particular words of the minister were sharp to her ears. Her heart was thudding wildly against her chest. There was nothing but silence outside.

She couldn't just stand there doing nothing! She had to go! Yes, she had made mistakes in the past, but that didn't mean she couldn't try.

Rose ran.

She was gasping for air by the time she reached the ceremony. It seemed that she had made it just in time. Her gasping filled the silence and she was vaguely aware that all of the guests, including a few members of her own family, were looking at her in horror. Her eyes passed onto Vera, who looked absolutely furious in her grand dress. She was pretty sure Scorpius didn't like it very much.

Finally, her eyes landed on him.

He stood there looking unreal. The most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on, with his platinum blond hair perfectly gelled, and his face holding nothing but shock.

"Scorpius," she muttered. The pain in her heart was subsiding, as if looking at him was the cure.

Rose saw him drop Vera's hands and turned toward her. He still looked shocked, as if he couldn't believe that she really was there. Still breathing hard, Rose walked a little further, not noticing that the minister had spoken something, she only stared at Scorpius while he stared back at her.

She was staring into his eyes now. Rose was much closer to Scorpius than she had ever been in the past seven years. Even after being here, looking at him, knowing what she wanted to say, she couldn't. She simply stared at him, her eyes speaking her heart.

She could see it in his eyes too, though hurt, he had never stopped loving her. Just as she had never stopped loving him.

Finally, realizing that she had to say something, instead of staring at him, she tried, "I love you," was all she could whisper.

Not wanting to see the look of rejection pass through his eyes, she turned back and started to run again. This time she was running away from him. She had done her part, and now, he had to do his.

Her heart hammering in her chest, she realized that she had stopped at the spot where she and Scorpius used to spend most of their time together. Hugging herself, she started to cry again. Rose could hear footsteps coming in her direction, but she was too afraid to find out who it was. For all she knew, it could be any of her numerous family members.

But, then her heart skipped a beat, and the hair on her neck stood up. She knew it was nothing due to cold. It was as if her body knew better, hesitantly she looked up. There he was of course, he had run after her.

"Never took you for a crier," she heard his husky voice say.

A smile lit her face as their first kiss passed through her mind, "You love me," Scorpius said.

"I do," Rose agreed. It took her all of her strength to not to throw herself in his arms.

"I don't know what I was about to do Rose, I'm so glad you came!" He spoke with emotion and pulled her into a kiss.

Crying with joy, Rose kissed him back eagerly. The moment her lips touched his, she realized that they were never meant to be separate; he was truly hers just as she was his.

It was like she had never left.

It was like the years apart had never passed.

They had been in love back then and they were in love even now.

There you go! It's done. Yes, my first and smallest multi-chaptered RoseXScorpius fan fiction. I'm waiting curiously for your reaction, though I could have extended the last bit, I didn't want to. I wanted to stick to the song from the start.

I hope you loved reading it as much as I like writing it.
