"Scorpius," Rose said to her fiancée when she saw him in her bedroom when she got home from Dom's bridal shower. Dom had asked her if Scorpius was coming to the wedding. She wasn't surprised to see him there because when they were out of school, he would come over saying that he couldn't sleep without her.
Scorpius looked up from the book he was reading. "Did you have fun at the bridal shower?"
"Yes," Rose sat on the bed and moved a piece of hair out of his face. "I was wondering." Rose gave him a smile that had Scorpius worried. "What you are doing the first weekend of May?"
Scorpius narrowed his eyes at her. "Why?"
Rose leaned closer. "Because you are coming to Dom's wedding with me," She kissed him before he could say anything.
Scorpius broke the kiss. "Rose," Scorpius wanted to cross his arms, but Rose was laying on him. Rose could hear the warning in his voice.
"Can you please come to Dom's wedding with me?" Rose gave him her puppy eyes. Scorpius didn't say anything at first, so Rose continued. "There will be famous quidditch players there."
Scorpius let out a laugh. "Are you trying to bribe me?"
"Is it working?" Rose smiled.
"I might need a little more bribing," Scorpius traced a finger along the side of her jumper.
Rose laughed. "Sure," She placed her lips on his. "If that means you are coming."
Before they knew it, they were heading back to Hogwarts. When they got back, Scorpius was thinking about what to do for Rose's birthday. He had to think because she made his birthday seem special. He wanted to do the same thing for her. He was thinking that he might tell her that he loved her. He was nervous that she might not feel the same about him. He was just going to have to show her. A plan was forming in his head, he was going to have to talk to the Headmistress for his plan to work. He talked to her and seemed okay with his plan if they were back before curfew. He had Alice and Lily help him with the plan.
Rose woke the morning of her birthday to find gifts at the foot of Scorpius' bed. She turned to see if Scorpius was in the bed, but he had left already. She didn't hear the shower going, he was either downstairs or had left the Head Dormitory. Rose didn't care as she started to open her gifts. She had gifts from everyone in her family. She also had a gift from her future-in-laws. She found a gift from Scorpius that told her not to open it until after her last class. She had to set that aside before her hands tore the paper. She left the room and headed for the shower.
Rose spent most of the day wondering what Scorpius had gotten her. She didn't know how she made it through her classes. If Scorpius was in the same class as her, he was sitting next to her. She couldn't keep count on how many people told her happy birthday. Most of them she took with a grain of salt because she was the daughter of Ron and Hermione Weasley.
She glanced at her watch at her last class to see she until had fifteen minutes left of class. She started to jiggle her leg, that had Scorpius smiling, he leaned over to tell her to relax. She threw him a look and tried to pay attention to the professor.
When the class was over, Rose ran from the class to the Head Dormitory. She ran upstairs to Scorpius' room and the gift was still on the bed where she left it. She tore at the wrapping to find a box. She lifted the lid to find a black dress. There was a note on the dress:
"Please wear this. I will be here in an hour to pick you up," -Scorpius.
Rose pulled out the dress to that the front had a V cut that would work perfectly for the necklace that Scorpius got for her for Christmas. Rose hung the dress and ran to the bathroom to shower. After she shower, made her sure her hair was exactly right before putting on her make-up. She went back to Scorpius' room and put on the dress. She went back to her room to put on her necklace and earrings. She glanced at the clock to see that she had five minutes before Scorpius was coming. She found a pair of heels when she heard the portrait open and close. Scorpius could wait, Rose thought as she put on the heels. She took one more look at herself in the mirror, where the mirror told her that she was going to knock his socks off.
Rose started to make her way down the stairs to find that Scorpius had his back to her. He turned around when he heard her. He was standing there in a black muggle suit with a silver tie. He had his hands in his pockets Scorpius smiled when he saw her. He met her at the bottom of the stairs and took her hand.
He leaned down and kissed her hand without taking his eyes off her. "You look beautiful, Rose."
"You don't look too bad yourself," Rose said. Scorpius took her hand and placed it in the cook of his arm.
He led her out of the Head Dormitory to the Entrance Hall, down the castle steps to the gate. Rose knew not to ask him where they were going because he would not tell her. Once they were pass the gate, Scorpius grabbed her tightly and disappeared.
They came to an ally. Scorpius led her out of the ally to a busy part of the London. They walked maybe ten minutes before coming to a restaurant. Rose didn't have time to catch the name before Scorpius led her in. He gave the host their name and the host led them to a table set for two in the kitchen. Scorpius held out her chair for her. Rose looked around to see the faces of chefs cooking. An older man came over to Scorpius.
"Mr. Malfoy," He shook Scorpius hand. He looked at Rose. "And who do we have here?"
"This is my fiancée, Rose Weasley." Scorpius smiled.
"Miss Weasley, I hope that you will enjoy the menu tonight," The older man smiled. "I am Chef Sebastian Logan."
Rose eyes widen and looked at Scorpius before turning to Chef Logan with a smile. "I sure I will," Chef Logan smiled before walking away. Rose leaned towards to Scorpius. "How do you know Sebastian Logan?"
Scorpius smiled. "My family is a major investor to his restaurant," Scorpius said like it was no big deal. Rose rolled her eyes.
Chef Logan placed the first course in front of them. They thanked him. "You have to stop doing something big for me," Rose said before taking a bite of the food.
Scorpius reached for her hand. "I want this birthday to be special," He said softly. It had Rose blushing.
"Well the dress was a good start," Rose told a sip of her wine. Scorpius smiled.
They continued to enjoy the dishes that Chef Logan put in front of them. They ended the dinner with a desert that was amazing to Rose. It had her close her eyes at how good it was. Rose finished the last piece before putting her napkin down. "Chef Logan that was amazing meal. Thank you for making it for my birthday."
Chef Logan bowed. "It was my pleasure, Miss Weasley."
Scorpius helped Rose from her chair. "Thank you, Sebastian," He placed Rose's hand in his arm. Scorpius led Rose out of the restaurant and to ally they came in. Rose held on tight as they disappeared.
They came back to Hogsmeade to find that it was raining. Scorpius was ready to take off his jacket and give it to Rose. "No," Rose put her hand up. "I like to walk in the rain." Scorpius smiled and settle his jacket on him.
They walked back to the castle and Scorpius stopped them in front of the school gates. "Rose," He moved a piece of hair of her face. "There is something I want to tell you and I don't think I can wait any longer," Rose searched his eyes to figure out what she was going to say. He took her hands in his. "I love you, Rose Weasley."
Tears came to Rose's eyes. She has been waiting for him to say those words for a while. She removed her hands from his and placed on either side of his face to make sure that he was looking at her. "I love you, too." A big smile came to Scorpius' face.
He leaned down and took her lips in a kiss. This kiss was different than the others. It was slow burning. Rose wrapped her arms around his neck. Scorpius took that as deepening the kiss with slipping his tongue between her lips. He pulled her close and Rose could feel his erection through his pants. Neither one notice the rain that was falling on them.
Scorpius broke the kiss and started to kiss along her face, making his way down to her neck. Rose moaned and dug her nails into him. Scorpius knew that they could continue this in the rain, but they both needed to get dry. There was one more thing that Scorpius wanted to do.
He moved away from Rose, who gave him a look. Scorpius smiled to reassure her. Scorpius looked down at her ring that she has been wearing since September. "Can I please have your ring?" He asked. Rose gave him a strange look as she took off the ring and gave it to him. Scorpius got down on one knee. "Rose, I never thought that I would find love with you. You make me want to be better man. I don't want to marry you," Rose let out a gasp and was ready to say something, but Scorpius continued. "Because of some contract or prophecy. I want to marry you because I have your heart and you have my heart. So, Rose Weasley will marry me because I love you?"
Tears were falling down her face. "Yes," She got out somehow. Scorpius placed the ring on her finger again before Rose jumped in his arms. "I love you,' She said before he kissed her again.
Scorpius didn't let the kiss continue. He broke the kiss before taking her hand. "Come on, lets get out of these wet clothes," Scorpius led the way back to their dorms.
Once in their dorms, Rose made her way to the stairs, she stopped and turned to Scorpius. "That was amazing birthday," She leaned over and kissed him. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Scorpius said as Rose made her way upstairs to the shower.
