"Go on, open it!" he urges her, a small smile on his face. "I think you'll like it."

So she unwraps the perfectly wrapped present, pink ribbon tied around the paper, as they sit on the steps leading up to the memorial of the two wizarding wars, a permanent tattoo for the wizards of their bloody past. And what does she find?

"It's… bright," she says weakly as she holds up the once white cotton dress she had bought on their travels around the world. Scorp had said it had gone missing when they were in China… but he had nicked it?

"It's been dyed with your favourite flower, so that you'll always remember our times around the world together," he whispers as he wraps an arm around her delicate waist. She's two years older than him but she is so much smaller, it seems as if he is the elder one; she's his Molly, his girl with the brown hair and blue eyes who is such a contrast to him… but such a perfect contrast.

"You mean… you mean you actually managed to find a Gardenia in China?" she says, astonished that he would go to such trouble.

"Gardenia is used to dye clothes yellow in China – so it wasn't hard, honest… I just thought you'd like it," he replies, smiling at her.

"Thank you!" she squeals, leaning over to press her lips to his. "I love it!" she murmurs as his hands wrap into her hair, pulling her closer. The dress, the thing to commemorate their around the world trip, lays forgotten on the stairs as he kisses her.

"Excuse me, this is a public location: we do not want such displays of affection here!" an affronted woman comments and they spring apart, blushing to the roots of their hair. Molly picks up the dress and smiles at the stern woman before clutching Scorpius' hand to Apparate back to their flat.

"Ooops!" she laughs as she collapses onto the bed, barely able to breathe as they remember her face. And that's all they do for the rest of the day!
