Hey everyone. Thank you for the reviews PoisonParadiseExpress, moonlight10060, GinnyEvans4 and imperial queen.

So Rose and Scorpius are back home for the holidays. Hermione hears about the masquerade in February and decide to take Lily and Rose shopping.

….

'Mom I really don't feel like doing this,' groaned Rose peeking out of the changing room.

'Oh come on Rose,' said Lily grinning, standing beside Hermione, 'Show us.'

Rose let out a frustrated cry as she stepped out of the changing room in a pearly white dress.

'Aww,' sighed Hermione happily, 'don't you look sweet.'

Rose glanced at the mirror and rolled her eyes.

'It looks like a wedding thingy.' Muttered Lily uncertainly, 'Perhaps something with a bit more colour.'

Lily walked over to some black dresses and picked out a short glittery one.

'Well?' asked Lily winking at Rose.

'Too short.' Said Rose.

'Girls,' said Hermione, 'I have a little bit of work my way. Meet you at Donna's café in an hour or so.'

'Okay.' Said Rose and Lily in unison.

Hermione left with a smile and a wave.

'I am so excited.' Said Lily, 'Masquerade!'

'You know Christmas is a few days away.' Muttered Rose, 'Masquerade on the other hand is on February.'

'I am done shopping for Christmas.' Said Lily shrugging, 'Got both my brothers broom cleaners.'

Lily giggled.

Rose spotted a deep red dress with black lacework.

'Wow!' exclaimed Rose, 'I am going to try this.

Lily was picking out a deep green dress. She glanced and nodded at the dress in approval.

'Nice.' Said Lily, 'But shouldn't you be trying something blue to match those ribbons you have saved up from ahem ahem.'

Lily grinned at Rose before disappearing into the changing room. Rose blushed before moving into the next changing room.

She tried on the dress. It was a perfect fit. She looked at her reflection in the mirror.

'Weasel?' Said an all too familiar voice.

Scorpius Malfoy stood frowning behind Rose with a grey shirt in his hand.

Rose stood there dumbly feeling self conscious in a dress.

'You-' begin Scorpius looking shocked about something, but then composing himself he continued raising an eyebrow, 'you are wearing a dress.'

'Yeah so?' muttered Rose defensively, 'what are you doing here?'

'Scorpius pointed to the shirt in his hand and said, 'picking out a shirt.'

'Obviously.' Thought Rose dryly. She noticed Scorpius's cheeks were suddenly flushed and he looked very uncomfortable.

'What the hell is he doing here?' asked Lily who came out of the changing room wearing the green dress.

'Leaving.' Said Scorpius coldly, 'I can't afford to be seen with both of you.'

With that he turned sharply and left thrusting the grey shirt at an attendant.

'That boy could freeze fire.' Said Lily distastefully, 'Cold, rude, arrogant.'

'Hmm,' Rose mumbled not really listening.

Seeing Scorpius again, Rose was reminded about the train incident that she had not told anyone about. Over the last two days, Rose had convinced herself that Scorpius had been messing with her.

'It worked.' Thought Rose, 'I feel messed up.'

….

'No way.' Thought Scorpius as he furiously paced around his room, 'It can not be her.'

Scorpius had noticed Rose and Lily looking at dresses and had edged near them. Then he heard Lily say-

'But shouldn't you be trying something blue to match those ribbons you have saved up from ahem ahem.'

Anyone could have blue ribbons saved up. He knew he was overreacting.

'But it can be true.' Said a small voice in his head.

Scorpius walked over to his trunk and pulled out the leather pouch that held the lettes from Esro17. He read and reread every one of them again. But Esro17 had not provided any evidence as to who she was. Finally one word that was the same in every letter caught his eye.

Esro17

Scorpius picked up a spare parchment and wrote three words.

Esro17

Esro

rosE

'Oh my god.' Thought Scorpius horrified, 'It's been here all this time. Her name jumbled up and her age. Esro17 is Rose Weasley.'

He had been writing to Rose all this time and he had liked it.

Scorpius suddenly felt himself filled with anger. He tore up the letters and threw them on the floor.

'I need some fresh air.' He thought opening the door.

But before he left he turned back once and muttered two spells.

'Reparo!'

'Accio!'

…

So finally Scorpius finds out. Read and Review please!
