Where We Left Off:

"Slight hope"

She closed her eyes.

"It dangles on a string"

His lips met hers.

"Like slow spinning redemption..."

Time seamed to slow down. Slowly, they pulled away from the kiss.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I shouldn't have done that."

Rose grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze.

"I'm glad you did." She smiled and looked up at him. He smiled back. She led him to a bench and sat down. He lowered his head for another kiss. It was now 11:45.

After the kiss, he took out his wand and pointed it towards his mask. He muttered a few words and did the same thing to her mask. She gave him a questioning look.

"It's for our masks that they fall off at midnight." She snuggled close to him.

11:55

She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. He smelled good. He leaned down for a quick kiss.

"Attention students," they held each other closer, "It is now 11:58. I hope you all have had a wonderful time." There was some cheering. "The time has gone so fast. Let us count down."

"10, 9, 8" her heart was getting louder.

"7, 6, 5" She crashed her lips on his.

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1!!!!!"

She felt her mask come off, but she didn't break the kiss.

She opened her eyes to see Remus already smiling at her. He leaned his head to hers.

"I hope I can still kiss you, Rose." She closed her eyes. She felt his tongue glide over her bottom lip. She opened her mouth. Remus smiled into her lips. Their tongues were exploring each other's mouth. They pulled away, out of breath. They now heard the last song come on.

"…..I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday"

They stood up.

"And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away"

Remus wrapped his arms around her waist.

"And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why I need you to hear"

She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be"

Remus pulled her close.

"A reason to start over new
and the reason is You x4"

She rested her head against him.

"I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you"

They leaned in for the last kiss of the night.
