Rose knew it was bad luck to let the groom see you on the wedding day. But desperate times called for desperate measures. So when she found the plain silver cuff links under the bureau in her room she immediately picked them up and made a beeline for the door.
Victoire caught her wrist, "Where are you going, Rose? The ceremony starts in ten minutes!"
Rose shooed her hand at the older girl, "It's fine," and slipped out of the room into the hallway before anybody else could stop her. She hurried up the stairs of the Burrow, hiking up the chiffon skirt of her dress and made her way towards her father's old room, where Scorpius was getting ready, surely stressing out about losing the cuff links Uncle Harry had given him on his fourteenth birthday.
Rose didn't bother to knock; she just pushed the door open and found Scorpius on his hands and knees looking under a bed.
"Hey, Scor, you missing something?"
Scorpius, halfway under the bed, shot up, banging the back of his head on the edge of the bed frame. Despite the distraction of his minor head trauma, when he looked up he had his hand clamped over his eyes. "Rose! It's bad luck."
Rose rolled her eyes and popped her hip out. "Scor, you're being ridiculous. And superstitious. I have something of yours that I think you'll be needing."
"Well that better be-" He started, but Rose interrupted him.
"You are so forgetful. Honestly." He was so forgetful sometimes. She felt like she was taking care of a five year old.
Scorpius struggled to his feet, leaving his left hand over his eyelids. Rose grabbed his right hand and placed the cuff links in his palm before closing his fingers around them.
Scorpius pursed his lips and moved his left hand away momentarily to glance at the contents of his other hand.
He groaned.
"What's wrong? You were looking for those, weren't you?" Rose asked, suddenly concerned.
Scorpius closed his eyes before replying sheepishly, "I didn't even realize I'd lost these." He clumsily attempted to fasten the cuff links on the sleeves of his starched white dress shirt. It was rather difficult to fasten cuff links with your eyes closed.
"Then what were you looking for?" said Rose.
Scorpius shrugged and went to sink onto the bed, but he missed by a good foot or so and fell flat on his arse. She giggled. He was so clumsy and adorable in his suit, with his hair a tousled mess and his cheeks all pink from making a fool of himself. Merlin. She was head over heels.
The blonde man pushed himself up hurriedly. "I can't find my shoe."
Rose looked at him incredulously. How did someone with feet as big as his lose their shoe? Especially someone with magical powers? "You are ridiculous."
She picked up his wand and said "Accio shoe."
Scorpius's shiny right shoe hiding beneath a garment bag, flew into her hand. She knelt before her soon to be husband and said, "I can't believe people think you're bright. I really don't understand how you got better N.E.W.T's than I did" before sliding his foot into the shoe and lacing it up.
Rose hopped to her feet.
Scorpius had turned bright red, "I'm nervous. I didn't think of using magic."
"Clearly," Rose snorted and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I don't know what I'd do without you, Rosie," Scorpius grinned. With his eyes still closed he leaned forward to kiss her, but missed and ended up kissing the tip of her nose.
"Thank you for that, Scorpius. It was terribly romantic," Rose rolled her eyes and turned to leave, but Scorpius had caught her arm and tugged her to him. His eyes flew open briefly before fluttering shut as his lips fell against hers.
"Hey! That's bad luck," She mumbled against his lips. He pulled back and grinned at her with that goofy smile she'd come to adore.
"I know it's bad luck," His hands were warm on her upper arms, "But we don't need luck."
That was for HannahMarie123 who asked for a Rose taking care of Scorpius in a mundane sort of way fic.
I wrote this rather quickly because some people have been complaining that I don't update quickly enough, for which I am sorry, but I am a very busy girl, so you must excuse me. The majority of you asked for some Max fluff, which I shall post either tonight or tomorrow. There will certainly be some of that, but if there's anything else you want PLEASE review and tell me. Reviews make my day. Thanks for reading.
And excuse typos and errors. There's certainly some in there. I barely proofread.
