Chapter 3

Rose walked into the Heads Common Room to find Scorpius writing an essay on the couch. Rose stood in the doorway watching her boyfriend and observing him silently. She noticed the way he furrowed his brow before scribbling frantically on his parchment. A strand of his blond hair would fall into his eyes making him swish his head. Some would find this habit rather annoying, but Rose found it cute. She loved everything about Scorpius even his annoying traits such as this grin that he said he inherited from his father. Rose then noticed Scorpius suddenly pat down on the coach next to him silently asking her to join him. Rose grinned at the fact that he always knew when she was present, it made her feel connected to him in some way. She made her way over to the coach and sat next to her boyfriend making herself comfortable. She then lifted her foot and began rubbing his leg up and down with her own making him grin. He put down his essay and looked at her with a playful smile.

"Now how can I concentrate with you doing that?" he asked mischievously

Rose smirked and leaned forward to capture his lips in a kiss. Scorpius responded immediately and pulled her into his lap without breaking the kiss. Rose ran her hands through his short blond hair while Scorpius's hands caressed her back and sides gently. Rose then broke the kiss and put a small hand up to cup his face.

"What did you want to tell me?" she asked sincerely.

Scorpius put her hand down and wrapped his arms around her waist so they were facing one another.

"I was actually thinking that we could tell our parents our big news at Christmas."

Rose looked down and then up again into his beautiful, eager face.

"I want to, it's just, I'm scared," she mumbled

Scorpius smiled reassuringly and tightened his grip around her.

"You will be fine," he promised, "we both will be."

Rose leaned against his broad chest and let out a deep sigh.

"Hugo knows," she whispered.

"I thought he did," Scorpius replied with a grin.

Rose leaned out of the embrace and looked up at him in confusion.

"How would you know?"

"Well it's kind of obvious, he tends to glare at me and I swear he mutters under his breath when I pass him." Scorpius replied.

" Hugo came up and talked to me today after you left the library. He told me to be careful with you and reminded me how our parents would never approve," she said while putting her head in her hands.

"Hey, look at me," Scorpius said sympathetically.

Rose looked up and saw something in his eyes she knew was only for her. She knew he loved her just by looking at him.

Scorpius took her hand in his and said, " I would never, ever hurt you. I hope you can trust me enough to know that. I know this will be hell telling our parents, but we will be okay, because I love you."

Rose wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Moving her face in the crook of his neck she whispered back, "I love you too." She knew he had heard her when she felt him smile.

"So Christmas it is then?" he asked kindly as he stroked her long red hair.

"At Christmas," she replied before kissing him tenderly on the lips.
