I'm so so so so (repeat a thousand times) sorry for not updating in the past few months. I never got around to it and I had projects and finals. Sorry! Please don't kill me! Oh and just a brief note, I changed my username. It's now OMG.I'. as you might have noticed

Disclaimer: not mine, JKR would update more often.

Back at his office, Scorpius was busy creating a collage of all the photos that he had taken of Rose in all those ridiculous bridesmaid dresses. He picked one up. In this one she was wearing a lemon yellow mini dress and her body was adorned with all sorts of equally blinding yellow accessories. He smiled at the silly face she was making. It was rather adorable how goofy she looked. Placing it next to one of the several Gone With the Wind dresses, he turned the corner a little to the left and-

"Oi, Malfoy." Scorpius' head snapped up, his thoughts interrupted.

"Erin," Scorpius said smoothly when he saw his boss standing in the doorway. "Can I help you?"

"Yes. I need the article. We're going to run it in next week's paper. So I need to send it to editing." She narrowed her eyes at his lack of response. "It is finished, right?" Scorpius frowned and looked down at article.

"Well it's almost done; I just need to put these pictures in. But Erin, now that I'm getting into the story, I'm not sure that I'm going for the right angle, you know what I mean?"

"So what you're saying is that you want more time, so you can change your article?" Erin's amber eyes scanned the story. "I don't know Malfoy, I think it's good the way it is."

"Come on Erin, just give me another couple of weeks, I know that I can make it even better," Scorpius pleaded, his silvery eyes widening. Erin seemed to weigh the ideas in her head before finally sighing and saying;

"Fine, one more week Scorpius, but no more than that, okay?" She asked.

"Thank you Erin, you are amazing," Scorpius told her before gathering up his things and sauntering out of the office. He was running late for a gift registry.

….. …

"I still don't understand why you have to be here," Rose told him as he arrived. Scorpius faked a wounded look.

"I'm hurt Rose, what about all those precious moments we've shared? Besides, I need to be here for the article."

"What precious moments?" Rose asked mockingly. Scorpius smirked.

"Clearly, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Are you gonna tell me what's got your wand in a knot, or are you just gonna keep me guessing?"

"Nothing new, I guess," Rose vaguely replied. Scorpius shrugged it off with a quick 'alright' before the two of them got to work scanning in countless household items that Lily decided she 'had' to have. Scorpius snorted when he saw the next item on the list.

"She wants a rooster shaped umbrella holder? Seriously. Who asks for shit like this?" Rose giggled.

"Lily of course, if it exists, Lily has to have it. Keep looking down the list, if I recall, she also requested a vase in the shape of a horse."

"It's vase, v-AY-se, not v-ah-z. You're saying it wrong," Scorpius pointed out. Rose looked at him in annoyance.

"No it's not. Don't tell me how to pronounce my words, Malfoy."

"Scorpius," the blonde reminded her once again.

"Sorry," Rose said, "I actually am trying, you know."

"Yeah, I believe it. Say are you going to Al's flat for dinner tonight? He mentioned that you might be going." Rose sighed and bit her lip.

"Probably not, I mean, all of the people going have dates, and I wouldn't want to be like a third wheel."

"Doesn't matter, I don't have a date and I'm going." Rose snorted after that statement.

"Scorpius, you don't really seem like the guy that has dates outside the bedroom, I wouldn't think that it would bother you."

"Oh and you would know because you date so many people, right Rose?" Rose glared at him.

"What is your deal? You are such a cynic about love. What happened to you? Did your wife leave you after your own wedding or something?" Rose asked sarcastically. Scorpius' joking expression slid off his face faster than Rose could snap her fingers.

"Bingo," Scorpius deadpanned. Rose stared at him with a mixture of pity and sorrow written all over her face.

"Scorpius, I'm so-" She began, but he cut her off.

"With my mate from school Anthony Zabini, so I think you get bonus points for that," he joked, trying to put on a show of bravado. Rose didn't know what to say. After about a minute of awkward silence she finally asked;

"Do you want to find the ugliest stuff in the store and register Lily for it?" To her immense relief he grinned at her.

"Let's do it."

…

The two of them had a great time for the next hour, going around and finding the most ridiculous items in the store, and there were a lot of weird things to choose from. Finally, Scorpius checked his cell phone, one of the many muggle devices that he used (he had learned a lot from muggle studies).

"Shit, Rose I've got to go; otherwise I'll never make it to Al's on time. You sure you don't want to come? It could be fun…" Rose looked into his gray eyes before regretfully saying.

"It's probably better if I don't show up." The sparkle faded a little from Scorpius' eyes before he smiled again.

"So I guess I'll see you around then," he told her before kissing her swiftly on the cheek. Rose blushed crimson but just as she was about to say something she heard a loud crack. Scorpius had apperated. Figures Rose thought to herself. He kisses me and then just leaves before I can say anything. Rose could practically see the miniature devil and angel appearing on her shoulder. The angel arguing that they should go out to the party and have fun, while the devil pouted and said that they should play it safe and just stay home watching some crappy muggle TV. Rose mentally brushed them off and apperated back to her own flat. Upon reaching her cozy apartment, Rose heard the unmistakable groans of Lily and Roger. Classy she thought. Looks like she was going to Al's for dinner after all. At least I'll get to see Al. I haven't gotten to see him for a while. Rose smiled happily at this, she missed her favorite cousin, ever since he had gotten married this past spring, to Anna Thomas it seemed like she hadn't gotten to see him at all. So that at least was a plus for going to Al's. Not to mention you'll get to see Scorpius a small voice in the back of her head noted. Rose blushed at the mere thought.
