When my life is through and the angels ask me to recall the thrill of them all, then I shall tell them
I remember you
FACT OF LIFE NUMBER 374: any relationship between a Weasley and a Malfoy is doomed to be dysfunctional.
MAIN REASON: they are different.
EXPLANATORY REASONS:
1. Different characters.
2. Different upbringing.
3. Different Hogwarts houses.
4. Different ambitions.
5. Different points of view on life.
ADDITIONAL REASON: they're both very stubborn and selfish.
.
The above are facts, proven by life and time. But the human heart doesn't understand logic; it doesn't make calculations. Sometimes, it falls for the wrong person.
That's what happened to Scorpius Malfoy and me. We were young and thought that the passion between us was love. We wanted to feel something so much that we fell in love with the pain, the arguments, the rage…
Years later, I understood my mistake. But I never regretted it; our relationship was one of the mistakes you want to make because they are good mistakes. They teach you something about yourself and about life. They make you a better person.
There were many parts of our relationship that can prove that. But I'll present to you the one… I'll show you the way it ended because that's the one moment that can prove on its own that it was a mistake and that it was a worthy one.

September 2024
He's holding her close to his body and smiles to her. "You're unforgettable, Rose Weasley," he whispers against her hair.
She pulls back from his embrace to look at his face. "And you're impossible, Scorpius Malfoy."
"I'll fool myself that that was a compliment," he half-jokes.
She smiles too. "It was."
Her words make him laugh and hug her again. When he lets her go, she turns to leave. "I'd say that I'll miss you but that would be a lie."
She stops walking and turns back to him. "I will."
She's serious and it surprises him. What's there to miss? The endless arguments? "Really?" he asks, not trying to hide his emotions.
"Yes. But in a good way… the way I miss Hogwarts," she explains.
"So there will be no going back?" he mocks her as a smirk plays at his face.
"Nope." She's acting like a child again, making fun of him.
He decides to challenge her. One last time. "No more apologies and break –up sex?"
She punches his shoulder. Heavily.
"What? That's what we do…" he complains.
"Time to grow up," she retorts in her best teacher-like voice.
He laughs and kisses her lips chastely. He knows he has to let go, but he's not ready. Not yet.
"I'll miss you like I miss Hogwarts," he tells her, repeating her words.
"And I'll always remember you, Scorpius Malfoy," she says against his lips, her eyes still closed.
He raises an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Because you showed me how to be a fun person. How to be a teenager. How to forgive. How to grow up."
He smiles again and gives her one last kiss.
"Then I'll always remember you too, Rose Weasley… because you made me who I am."
