Granny Smith Apple
"Red apples taste better!"
"But green apples are healthier!"
Scorpius sighs theatrically. "The red apple is a symbolic part of history. What color apple is Eve holding in nearly every illustration ever made?"
"Red apples are so sweet!" Rose insists, standing up abruptly and almost knocking over the basket of said apples on the breakfast table.
He grins and takes a bite of one. "Like you."
Her mouth opens to retort, but no snappy comeback comes out. She smiles instead.
She is still smiling when she finds a Granny Smith apple on the corner of her desk in Charms, with a note in handwriting as familiar as her own.
It's not as sweet as you are, but it'll have to do.
