"Rose…You look…Wow." Lily managed to stutter out at seeing Rose in her wedding dress. She'd seen it before, and she'd seen Rose wear it before, but every time she was amazed at how beautiful Rose looked.

The dress went just past her knees, and when she turned around, the back dropped in a 'U' shape, showing all her back, the straps were thick on her tanned shoulders and the pure white of the dress made her tan just that much more golden. Her hair was let down and curly, the loose curls going to just past her chest and in her hair there was a simple white rose. Her make up was light, just barely there, but she looked stunning. She had a simple tear drop necklace and simple diamond earrings and on her feet she had on some white high heeled shoes.

The dress was simple, no fancy stitching or long train, no over the top hairstyles or outrageous make up. Just simple.

And on Rose, simple was stunning.

Rose smiled and turned to look at herself in the mirror. She was getting married today. Last night, after her and Scorpius' bath, she had slept at Roxanne's house. Rose spent that whole night wishing that Scorpius was with her, then she wished that she would get some sleep…Then she wished that Scorpius was there. So, its safe to say, she didn't sleep a lot last night.

Saying goodbye to him was hard, and she saw that he wasn't fairing with it very well, but her mother insisted that you don't sleep in the same room as the groom before the wedding, it was a muggle superstition that her mother believed in very much. He held her so tightly that she was slightly afraid that he wouldn't let go. He pressed a hard kiss to her forehead and said, very lightly, that goodbyes are for people who won't see each other for ages…That this was more of a see you later.

She smiled sadly at her reflection. She did look good, she had to admit, but she knew that if were any other day, she would look average, her red hair the only thing that made her stand out from the crowd. Unless she was with her family, of course.

"Rose, when me and Tyler get married, can I please have you dress?" Roxanne asked, rearranging the flowers in her bouquet.

That was Roxanne, dragging her away from the thoughts that she didn't want to think.

Rose laughed, shaking her head slightly and looking at Roxanne in the mirror.

"How do you know that you and Tyler will get married anyways?"

"Because when I kiss him, it feels like I'm at home."

Home. Its weird to think that when she heard that word, Rose didn't think of her and Scorpius flat, or her childhood home. She thought of Scorpius. Of his smile, his voice, his eyes, his kiss.

Right then is when she knew that she absolutely loved Scorpius with all her heart. She knew she loved him, but this feeling inside it…It hurt her heart and she had to close her eyes for a minute to gather her bearings.

"Guys," she was shocked to hear her voice break slightly, "Can I just have a second, please."

She knew that Roxanne and Lily would leave her, but when she came out the room or let them in, she would be bombarded with questions.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and a quick squeeze before the door opened and shut softly behind them. Rose let out a breath and moved away from the mirror, sitting down heavily on a chair in the corner. She looked at the mirror, and remember another mirror, one from a long time ago that she had stumbled on one night coming home from the library.

*****

It was late. If Rose was caught out this late then that would be a detention…And while she was used to detentions (she did, after all, hang out with James, Fred and Roxanne), she couldn't be bothered with one tonight. She was tired, irritable and she missed Scorpius.

She was in her sixth year and she and Scorpius had been going out for a two weeks and they had yet kiss. Every since Tony, Scorpius had been protective of her and treated her as if she was made of glass. Which was both frustrating and adorable. She couldn't decide which one.

She yawned and stretched her arms above her head, letting her body arch like a cat.

She heard a quiet snuffling and out of the corner of her eye she saw a stripy, tabby cat tail whirl around the corner into the shadows.

Fantastic. How that cats even still alive, no one will ever know.

She couldn't run to Gryffindor tower, that's to far away and to exhausting. Besides, with the amazing speed that Filch somehow posses, he'll catch up sooner or later. Good thing she knew about the secret passages around Hogwarts.

She quickly made her way to the closest one, pushed the tapestry aside and slid quietly down the corridor, appearing on the fifth floor. She made her way to the door closest to where she was and pulled on the handle.

Only the door wouldn't open.

Now curious, she tried it again, only it had the same effect as last time and refused to open. She took out her wand and tapped it on the wooden door, whispering the unlocking spell under her breath. It still refused to open.

She growled low in her throat and thumped on the door hard, frustrated that it wouldn't open.

With a click the door clicked open.

"I love magic." Rose whispered under her breath and pushed the door to give her entrance.

The room was very dusty, the particles swirling about in front of her, doing an intricate dance in the air.

Also, Rose noticed, it was empty. Except for an oblong object, on the far wall from the room, thick blue velvet material covering it, showing only golden claws at the bottom.

Cautiously, she made her way forward, bringing her hand up to grasp the heavy material and, with a hard tug, pulled it off to reaveal…

A mirror.

Rose laughed and looked at her self in the mirror, smiling to herself. She had felt the butterflies, the ones that usually come before James drags her off on an "Adventure" and just before they got caught. She had made herself belief that it was something dangerous and exciting, when all it was a stupid mirror.

She turned to leave when something caught her eye. It was a head of platinum blonde hair. She gasped and quickly turned to face the door, only to be confused when nobody was there. Slowly, with a frown, she turned to look at the mirror again.

Scorpius was stood beside her, but a quick glance told her that that wasn't so. Then the Rose in the mirror changed, she got taller, skinnier, her hair had less curls and her eyes were slightly bigger, the slight coating of freckles across her nose got smaller, until they were gone. She was now wearing a white dress, with flowers in her hair and a huge smile on her face. Scorpius was in smart, black dress robes and the look in his eyes could only be described as love.

Rose watched in horrific fascination and The Mirror Rose turned to the side, looped her hands around Scorpius neck, and kissed him. He brought his arms around Rose's waist and kissed her back, before moving to the side and kissing up and down her neck, murming quiet words of love and devotion in her ear.

The mirror of Erised. She should have guessed. She sighed and turned to leave the room, only to see James and Fred stood there, there hair messed up and eyes sleepy looking.

"Why are you here?" James asked groggily, running an irritable hand through his hair, messing it up even more.

"Why are you here?" Rose asked back, walking towards them, turning her back on the image the mirror presented to her.

"Looking for you." Fred supplied, lifting up the Marauder's Map, which James had stolen a long time ago.

"Yeah, because your wondering about the castle at 11!" James growled, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her forward. Ever since Tony, James had been protective to. Only, his wasn't cute or frustrating…It was a pain in the –

"Were was you anyways?" Fred asked, easily getting James hand off her arm.

Rose sighed before closing the door, hoping for the future.

*****

Now she had that perfect future…Why was she feeling so bad about it?

Rose sniffed, leaning her head down and tangling one hand in her hair, curling that hand into a fist.

A Weasley and A Malfoy. It just won't work. She thought sadly, letting a tear drop fall. Everything her family was against…As she was marrying into it.

She took a deep breath and composed her posture, trying desperately to not break down a cry.

A knock at the door startled her, and she jumped slightly. She sniffed quietly and ran her hand through her hair, no longer caring that it was her wedding day.

If that's what it was anymore.

"Yeah?" She called through, expecting Lily or Roxanne asking of they could come back in and get dressed themselves.

"Miss Weas--Rose?"

"…Mr. Malfoy?" She asked, stunned, her hands dropping down to her side as she froze, staring at the door.

"Err, yeah. Listen, I couldn't help hearing what you said," He started, but Rose cut him off.

"What I said?" She asked dumbly, confused. Did she say that out load?

"About a Weasley and a Malfoy…Maybe your right. But what about a Rose and a Scorpius? Could that work?"

A Rose and a Scorpius…A Rose and a Scorpius?

"Just think about that." He said through the door before she heard his footsteps walking away. She regained her senses and rushed to the door, flinging it open, only to run into Scorpius.

"Why is everybody down here?" She asked in exasperation, grabbing onto Scorpius' biceps to stop herself from falling.

"Rose, you have to go down this corridor to get to the wedding," He said this with his eyes tightly shut. Taking her wrists and gently pulling her hands away, he took her hand and tried to lead her back to the room, only to bump into the doorframe.

"I can do it." She said quietly, extracting her hand from his grasp and kissing him on the cheek. "Goodbye." She whispered, squeezing her eyes shut, pressing something into his hand.

His eyes snapped open, staring into her dark blue eyes, worry, concern and fear lacing through his mercury eyes.

"What?" He choked out, his eyes slipping to the engagement ring that he held in his hand.

"I'm sorry." Her voice filled with tears. His hand curled into a fist around the ring and he clenched his eyes shut.

"Why?" He sounded so broken. Rose let the tears fall and rested her forehead against his.

"You're a Malfoy, I'm a Weasley…This can never work." His hand wound around her waist and held her inhumanly close, his breath fanning out against her neck in quick bursts, quick splashes of water following.

"Your right." Rose stiffened and leaned back to look at his eyes. They now held anger. He pushed her away from him and slapped her, hard. Her head flew back and when she looked back at him, he was gone. She ran out of the building, into the pouring ran, She ran and ran and ran, not stopping, not even for a moment. She got a lake and sat, sobbing over the once tepid water, being disturbed by the droplets of rain, creating a beautiful sight.

"What have I done?" She whispered brokenly to herself, feeling her heart slowing, as she realised what a terrible mistake she had made, before screaming a torturous scream as the heavens rained down upon her.

*****

"Rose, wake up!" Rose jerked awake, to find Roxanne gazing down at her in worry, her chocolate dark curls brushing her face slightly.

"Is it bad news that you had a nightmare before your wedding?" She asked, raising an eyebrow before handing her a glass of water. Tyler came into the room, topless with only his jeans on, his hair in total disarray.

"So, Rose, you ready for your wedding day?" He asked, leaning against the doorframe, his hands in his pockets. His chocolate eyes inquiring, checking to make sure she was defiantly sure with it.

"I know what to do now."

*****

"Do you, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, take Rose Ann Weasley, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

Scorpius looked straight into her eyes and one corner of his mouth lifted up as he picked up her hand and slid the silver band onto her finger.

"I do."

"Do you, Rose Ann Weasley, take Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

Rose sighed and looked around the guests sitting there, The Weasley's on one side, the Malfoys on the other. But once her eyes connected with Draco Malfoy's, she knew what she had to do.

With a deep breathe she looked at Scorpius, gazing into the eyes that were identical to his fathers and breathed two simple words.

"I do."
