A/N: Sorry I haven't updated for ages. School's starting soon and I've been super busy. Again, I don't own characters (belonging to J. K. Rowling) or italicized song lyrics (belonging to Meekakitty). Also, an update on the chronological order of the chapters: Chapter 3 was around the beginning of Rose's 4th year, Chapter 2 was shortly after that, this chapter is set during Valentine's Day in 4th year, and Chapter 1 was the summer before 5th year.
I'll slither up to you, you can be my lion cub
Let's share a butterbeer down at Rosemerta's pub
I'll chase right after you, you are my golden snitch
I'll be your wizard love, you are are my only witch
Rose walked slowly through Hogsmeade on Valentine's Day, looking down. This was probably the worst Hogsmeade trip yet. Her two best friends were most likely in Madam Puddifoot's with their dates, and Rose's cousin Al had decided to spend the day with James and Hugo instead of her, so Rose was on her own. She had hoped that someone would have asked her out on a date for this Hogsmeade trip, but apparently that was not to be. A part of her mind was telling Rose that "someone" meant Scorpius, but this got shouted down by a slightly larger part of her brain, saying that Scorpius was a Slytherin and a Malfoy.
Just then, Rose thought she heard a faint voice calling her name, but decided that the wind, which was rather strong that day, was playing tricks on her. No, there it was again. Someone was trying to get her attention.
"Rose!" The girl in question turned to see Scorpius running down the lane.
"Scorpius?" Rose cried out to be heard.
"I tried to find you at the castle, but you'd already left," Scorpius said, catching up with Rose.
"B-but why would you want to find me?" Rose asked incredulously.
"To ask you to Hogsmeade, silly!" he said, laughing slightly. "I was afraid you'd say no back at the school, but since we're already here, it wouldn't hurt to get a butterbeer or two in the Three Broomsticks, would it? It's getting awfully cold."
Rose smiled. "No, it wouldn't hurt. In fact, I'd be happy to go with you!" Maybe this trip to Hogsmeade wouldn't be so bad after all.
A/N: I realize that the order of the one-shots is really confusing, I apologize. I'm trying to stick to the order of the verses of the song, and I'm writing these as I get ideas, instead of having them planned out. If I changed the order of the chapters every time I added a new one, it would take you ages to figure out which one you hadn't read, so I'm leaving it the way it is. ~Ginny P.S. I feel like Scorpius needs a nickname, but what kind of nickname can you give to the name Scorpius? Ideas?
