I had spent the last week recuperating from my accident with the bludger, with Rose spending every moment possible by my side. I think that she is nervous that if she leaves me something bad is going to happen. I have tried many times to explain to her that I will be fine, but she won't believe me. Now, the Christmas Ball is only two days away and Rose agreed to attend the ball with me. I planned on telling her about my feelings there. I hoped that she would feel the same way, but I was still extremely nervous about telling her.

"Morning Rosie!" I smiled, walking out into the common room of our dorm.

"Hey Scorp," she smiled, turning her head over the back of the couch.

"How's the book?" I asked, sitting beside her on the couch.

"It's pretty good, I really like this muggle author Nicholas Sparks. He keeps me really interested," she smiled, situating herself so she could sit against my shoulder.

"You think I would like it?" I asked, moving my arm so I could put my arm around her.

"No," she chuckled, "But you can try reading it over my shoulder if you like."

"Okay," I laughed, beginning to read the book over her shoulder.

I read or a few minutes before I actually became extremely interested in the story. I wasn't usually into reading book about romance, or books in general, but this book was intriguing. However, before I knew it, someone was knocking on our door, wanting to get in.

"I had forgotten that there was a world on the other side of the door," Rose laughed, looking upside down at my face.

"Me too," I chuckled, grabbing a pillow for her to lean against as I went to answer the door.

"Hello," I smiled, opening the door to see Headmaster Longbottom.

"Good afternoon Scorpius. Hope you are doing better," he greeted me.

"Much better. Thank you sir," I smiled, "Would you like to come in?"

"No, thank you. I just have some news that I need to tell you, some good and some bad," he sighed, not looking me in the eyes.

"What's wrong Headmaster?" I asked, worried.

"Well, first of all we found the Slytherin Quidditch player who charmed the rogue bludger to hit Rose, who was actually you," he answered me, "And, for the bad news, your mother just called saying that your Grandfather had a heart attack. He is in a coma and they are worried that he may not make it through the night."

"My… my grandfather?" I swallowed, trying to control my breathing.

Rose had obviously heard what was going on and she walked over to stand beside me, and to comfort me. I didn't know what to say. My grandfather was in a coma and he may not live. I know that I don't always act like I love my grandfather, but I know that deep down I honestly care about him.

"I have arranged for you and your sister, and Rose, if you like, to go see your grandfather at St. Mungos," he looked toward Rose, hoping that she was taking in what he was saying because I was in a daze.

"Thank you headmaster. I am pretty sure that Scorpius and his sister will both want to go see him," Rose answered for me.

"Okay then, if you would like to meet me in my office in about fifteen minutes I can send the two of you on your way," he sighed, sadly, "Now, I should go tell your sister what has happened."

"Wait!" I called after him, when he was halfway down the stairs.

"Yes, Scorpius?" he replied.

"Let me tell my sister, please?" I asked, looking at him in his eyes.

"Of course," he nodded, turning left instead of right at the bottom of the stairs.

I walked out of the dorm room with Rose a few steps behind me. I knew that she wanted to stay with me, but right now, the only thing I was concerned about was getting to talk to my sister. I didn't want her to find out from someone else who had overheard the headmaster talking. I wanted her to hear the news from me. Even though neither my sister, nor I had ever been close to my grandfather, it was still a horrible thing when you find out that they may not live. My grandfather has been called a number of horrid things in his life, but he has never been called a good name by anyone. He was always on the wrong side with everyone, whether it be with his family or with his life in general, he was never quite sure what to do.

"A!" I called, when I saw her walking toward the Great Hall with Brandon.

"Hi Scorp, good to see you up and around," she smiled.

"A, I have some bad news that I need to tell you," I sighed, cutting to the chase. I didn't want to wait any longer to tell her the news than was necessary.

"What's wrong Scorpius?" she asked, concerned.

"It's Grandfather, he's had a heart attack and he is now in a coma. The healers are not sure if he will make it through the night," I sighed, shakily.

"He's not going to make it through the night?" she asked, quietly.

"They don't think so," I shook my head, sadly.

"Can we go see him?" she asked, a few tears falling from her eyes.

"Of course. The headmaster has arranged for us to be allowed to go see him. And sense it is Friday, and there are no classes until after Christmas break, we don't have to worry about missing school," I answered.

"I know that it is going to sound insensitive to the situation, but will we still be able to go to the Christmas Ball?" A asked.

"Of course, sweetie, we can still go to the ball," I chuckled, "Why don't you an Brandon go to the headmaster's office and get to St. Mungos, and then Rose and I will follow?"

"Okay," she sighed, as Brandon took her hand and led her down the hallway to the office.

"You still breathing?" Rose asked, looking at my face.

"Kind of," I sighed, looking at the ground.

I felt a tear falling down my cheek as I looked at the ground. I didn't want her to see me cry, because I felt like it showed that I was weak. I don't cry very often, but when I do I don't like people around me. She didn't say anything, as I allowed the tears to fall from my eyes. She stood there for a few seconds before she took a few steps closer and took my hand. She was weary of what she was doing at first because she didn't want to cross any boundaries, then after a minute she pulled me in for a hug.

"Thanks," I smiled, sadly, after a few minutes, "I needed that."

"Don't mention it," she smiled back at me.

"Would you come with me to the hospital? I don't think I want to be there alone?" I asked.

"Of course, Scorpius. You've been there for me so many times, that I want to be there for you also," she replied.

"Thanks," I nodded, as we walked silently toward the headmaster's office.

When we entered, Headmaster Longbottom was already standing by the floo waiting for us to arrive. He wasted no time talking, but gave us the powder we needed, then we were on our way. Rose and I didn't talk at all to each other as we walked together through the corridors of the hospital. When we arrived at the front desk she asked for my grandfather, and the healer pointed us to where we needed to go. He was the first room on the right on the fourth floor, the woman had smiled. Rose smiled back at her as we continued walking to find his room. We thought we had gotten lost until we saw A and Brandon getting on the elevator in the same spot the woman had pointed out to us. The four of us rode up the elevator together, preparing ourselves for what we would encounter when we walked into the room. It was obviously bad, if my sister and I had been called here.

"Scorpius! Aurora!" my mum sighed, as we walked out of the elevator.

"Mum?" I asked, as she pulled us in for a hug, "How bad is it?"

"It is pretty bad Scorpius, I don't want to lie to you. He looks horrible, he is white and there are tubes sticking out of him everywhere. They are worried that he might have another heart attack so they are monitoring him closely. He doesn't look like your grandfather, and when you see him, the first thing you will probably do is cry. If you can't handle it, you can come back here into the hall, until you are ready. It's really scary, and your father is doing horrible," she answered, a tear in her eye.

"Can we all go in?" I asked.

"Of course," she nodded, "There is plenty of room."

The five of us entered the room, and I was automatically shocked by the amount of machines that my grandfather was connected to. He had Ivs in his arms and wrists, and heart monitors on his chest, he also had a tube down his throat to help him breathe, because he couldn't do it on his own.

I looked around the room, afraid to look at my grandfather, until my eyes landed on my father. He was sitting in the chair beside my grandfather, with grandmother by his side. His hair was disheveled, and he looked like he hadn't slept in awhile. My eyes continued traveling around the room, landing on my sister who was crying in the corner, into Brandon's chest. Then I looked beside me and saw Rose, with a few tears in her eyes as she watched our family in the room.

I slowly took my eyes off of Rose and looked down at my grandfather. He was lying in bed, his face whiter than normal, and his appearance was not that of the man that I knew. He didn't look like my grandfather anymore, he looked more like a skeleton, with nothing but skin and bones. I couldn't handle seeing him like that, it was one of the worst things I had ever seen in my life.

"I need a minute!" I sighed, running out of the room. I didn't know what to do, my mind wasn't working with my body. My mind wanted to stay in the room and comfort everyone, but my body wanted nothing more than to be out of the room.

I hadn't noticed that Rose had followed me out of the room. We were further down the hallway now, near where the elevators were. Rose was silent not sure what to say and not wanting to say the wrong thing. It took her a few minutes, to finally work up the courage to say something to me.

"I'm really sorry about your grandfather Scorpius. I know how hard it must be to see him like that," Rose tried to comfort me.

"You know how I feel?" I asked unbelieving, "How could you possible understand what I was feeling Rose, all of your family is fine, and my grandfather is barely alive?"

"I mean that I understand how you feel about being worried about losing someone," she tried to correct her statement, trying to comfort me.

"You don't understand, Rose! You can't understand what I am going through! I could you possibly pretend to understand what I am going through?" I asked angry.

"How dare you Scorpius! How dare you!" she slapped me. I flinched back and moved my hand to the place where she had just slapped me.

She began to run away from the me, I could hear her sobbing as she ran down the corridors. I couldn't believe how horrible I had been to her. She couldn't see where she was going because her vision was blurry from crying, so she didn't see that there was a healer in front of her. She almost ran into a healer, but thankfully I ran faster than her, because my legs are longer than hers, and I was able to grab her before she ran into him. She was sobbing uncontrollably by the time I had a firm grasp around her shoulders. She tried to fight me off by hitting me repeatedly in the chest, hoping that I would let her go.

"Rose, stop!" I shouted, pulling her close to me.

"No, Scorpius!" she sobbed, "When you said that I didn't understand what you are going through it really hurt me. Do you not remember the last two years of my life!"

"Of course I do," I cringed, going over in my mind the horrible things I had said to her and immediately feeling terrible about saying it.

"Then why would you say that… do you not care about me at all? Have I been lying to myself this whole time, telling myself that you actually cared about me?" she asked crying.

"Rose, I care about you so much! More than you could ever understand! If I didn't care about you it might make my life so much easier, but I can't help how I feel," I explained.

"What do you mean, I wouldn't understand?" she asked, sniffling.

"I mean, well, I mean that," I groaned searching for the right words, "Dame it Rose! I fancy you! That's why I got jealous and why I had girlfriends, to get my mind off of you!. It hurt me to see you in so much pain after Max, I felt useless. I had planned on telling you after you broke up with Max that I fancy you but then you were so vulnerable that I couldn't tell you. I know this wasn't the ideal time or place, but I needed to tell you. I fancy you Rose, so much!"

She took a step closer to me and placed her hand on my cheek where she had slapped me only moments earlier. She wiped away a tear that had fallen from my eyes, before she took a deep breath and I felt her lips on mine. The kiss wasn't one of the full snogs that our friends shared, but it was perfect.

She pulled away smiling with tears still in her eyes, "The one thing I have learned in the past year is that there is never a perfect, or ideal, moment to tell someone you fancy them. I learned that the hard way, unfortunately, because I spent too much time waiting for the perfect moment, and I missed out on more time with the one I fancy."

"You always know the right thing to say to make me feel better," I smiled, still holding her hand.

"Thanks," she blushed, "Now it's my turn to tell you something important. Scorpius, I always knew that I fancied you even when we were only first years. I know it sounds corny and ridiculous, but it's true. I never dreamed you could ever feel the same way about me, which is why I never told you, I was afraid of rejection. But now, I know how I feel, and I don't care any longer about waiting. Even if you had told me that you never wanted to see me again I would still fancy you and I would still tell you the truth about my feelings. So, Scorpius, I fancy you so much and I never want to be with anyone else ever again."

"You are amazing!" I smiled, pulling her into my arms and kissing her again. We walked back toward my grandfather's room together, however as we neared the room she dropped my hand. I knew why she did it, but it still kind of hurt that she just dropped my hand like she did. I knew that after Christmas we could be together in public, once our families knew about us. Right now I was just happy knowing that Rose had feelings toward me also, and that we could finally be more than friends.
