pairing: RoseScorpius
prompt: last dance
for: Rising From The Flames
-:-
When she thinks about her last ball at Hogwarts, Rose remembers the beautiful decorations that adorned the Great Hall and the chandeliers spreading a silver-gold light all over the hall and the many ecstatic, laughing couples swaying away on the dance floor.
She remembers giggling with her friends, remembers enjoying the delicious food, remembers feeling prettier than ever before in her beautiful evergreen dress and high heels and her auburn curls twisted up in a fancy up-do that had taken hours to perfect.
And she remembers how handsome her date had looked, in his black tuxedo, hair falling into his face, his arm warm around her waist as he swept her out onto the dance floor for the last dance of the evening.
"Are you having fun?" Scorpius whispered in her ear.
Rose smiled up at him. "Of course," she murmured, pulling him down for a deep kiss.
She hadn't known then, of course, that he was – always had been, in fact – in love with her baby cousin. She hadn't known then that he was picturing redder hair in his hands and a smaller body against his. She hadn't known then that he didn't love her.
She hadn't known then that that was their last dance.
If she had, she'd probably have tried to make it count more.
