So Rose and Scorpius snuck out of the Common Room and down the stairs. They had a close run-in with Filch in the fourth floor corridor, but they hid behind a suit of armor. They finally reached the Great Hall. Scorpius saw his little horse galloping around the bench he had been sitting on. He quickly picked it up while Rose kept guard. They quietly snuck back upstairs.

All of a sudden, they heard Filch behind them yell, "I knew there were children out of bed! Come back here! I'll catch you brats!"

Scorpius looked at Rose and simultaneously, they sprinted down the corridor. However, Filch was gaining on them. He was fast for an old man. Right when they heard him about a hundred feet away and right around the corner, Scorpius saw a door, he grabbed Rose's hand and tugged her into the closet. He leaned out the door and did a spell on a statue down the hall, to make it fall over. Filch turned the corner and ran down the hall to see what the racket was right as Scorpius shut the door to the closet. He heard Filch mutter and curse to himself when he found no children by the statue.

Scorpius looked at Rose in the dark, small closet and they both burst out laughing.

"Did you hear him? Damn kids, ruining property. I'll catch them next time," Rose said through the laughter. She was laughing so hard, that she was crying and had to put her hand on Scorpius' shoulder for support. Suddenly she stopped laughing. Scorpius had put his hand the hand on his shoulder. He looked down into Rose's bright blue eyes.

"Rosie…" he said before trailing off. Then he put his hand on the back of head, in her curly red hair. Before he knew what was happening, he was kissing her and she was kissing him back, her hand on his neck. There was nothing else in the world that mattered. Rose was kissing him. She felt the same way. There lips intertwined and his hand was on her back. It might have been seconds or minutes or hours before they broke apart.

Rose looked up at his tousled blonde hair and his piercing grey eyes. She saw him grin sheepishly. She grinned too as she slipped her hand into his and he whispered, "Rosie, do you want to go with me to Hogsmeade... whenever the next trip is?"

She blushed and whispered back, "Of course. Now we should probably go back to the Common Room."

They snuck back upstairs, undetected by anyone, holding hands the whole time. When they got into the Common Room, she looked back at him. Looked at his hand gripping hers. She didn't want to let go, but she looked up at him with a regretful look. Their hands dropped to their sides. They headed to the steps to their dormitories when an urge gripped her. She ran over to where Scorpius was standing smiling. She pecked him on the lips quickly.

"G'night, Scor. See you in the morning," she whispered before running up to her dormitory. She collapsed on her bed in euphoria. The morning. She would see Scor in the morning. She pinched herself. Nope, not a dream. They had actually kissed. That night she dreamed of Scorpius smiling after them kissing, Scorpius asking her to Hogsmeade, Scorpius holding her hand all the way to the Common Room. The next morning, she woke up in a state of bliss. Then a problem hit her. How would they tell their parents?
