A/N: I made it! It is still Christmas where I live, so I can still say Merry Christmas to all of you! So, without further ado:

Kiss number 4: A Perfect Snow

"Lily! Lily your scarf!" Scorpius shouted after her.

Lily laughed and continued to spin with her face looking to the heavens. "It's snowing Scor! Get over here!" she demanded.

Scorpius circled his arms around her waist and felt her relax into him. "It is a perfectly white Christmas," she stated as she looked around.

The park benches were covered in snow, the barren tree branches were decorated with shimmering icicles, and perfect white flakes were falling softly from the blue sky. "I asked you to come out to Hogsmeade with me on a day just like today," Scorpius mused, resting cheek against her forehead.

She smiled to herself, for she had been thinking the exact same thing. Lily burrowed her cold nose into Scorpius's warm neck and giggled in delight at his girlish shriek. "Honestly Lily. It's called a scarf," he said as he wrapped the lavender material around her neck.

He pulled at the tail ends of the scarf, drawing her face closer to his. He smiled – an automatic reaction after looking into her light hazel eyes. Scorpius touched their cold noses briefly before kissing her softly. He wrapped his arms more tightly around her as they shared their perfect kiss in the snow. He would dare anyone in the world to even try to find a more perfect girl.

He and Lily had started dating during his 6th year at Hogwarts, nearly eight years ago now. He'd asked her to Hogsmeade during the first snow of that year. She had agreed to be his girlfriend right after the Christmas break. They'd said 'I love you' on New Years Eve the following year. She surprised him with a key to her flat on Christmas two years ago, and he'd surprised her by moving in just last week.

And all of these decisions had been made while enjoying a perfect snowfall together.

Scorpius bit her lower lip softly and she curled more tightly against him. "Lily," he whispered between kisses.

"Mmm?" she asked as she brought a hand to his face.

"You are shivering."

"So warm me up," she said suggestively as she pulled his hand into her jacket.

"At least put on your gloves. Your father would kill us if we missed another holiday dinner because you caught a cold."

She glared at him and laced her fingers tightly behind his neck. "I forgot my gloves," she smiled.

"Are you sure?"

She nodded. "Quite. I never leave the house prepared for snow, you know that."

He laughed as he kissed her pink lips again. "Which is why I slipped a pair in this morning before we went out."

"But we didn't make plans to go out; it was a spontaneous decision," she said curiously.

"Taking a walk in the snow is hardly spontaneous for you. Spontaneous would be not taking advantage of the perfect day for a snow ball fight," he responded, wiggling his eyebrows deviously.

Lily laughed and buried her face into his neck. "Our first snowball fight of the season," she sighed. "Get ready to lose!"

"Gloves Lily! Please put on your gloves!" Scorpius called as she twirled away from him.

He busied himself for a few moments by nervously packing a few disproportionate snowballs when – "Scor?"

He looked up quickly to see that she had stopped, her back still turned to him. Scorpius drew in a deep breath as he walked over to her casually. "Scor, what was this doing in my glove?" she asked without turning around.

Scorpius wrapped his arms around her and peered around her shoulder. "Do you like it?" he asked.

Lily's gaze was focused on the glittering diamond ring pinched between her thumb and index finger. "I asked your father a few months ago if I could give it to you. I've had it picked out for ages," he whispered into her ear.

After a few moments without moving, Scorpius plucked the ring from her fingers and grasped her left hand in his. He kissed her cheek and slid the platinum band onto her finger. "Marry me?" he asked her as he nuzzled his nose into her exposed neck.

Lily turned slowly in his arms. "Promise me it will snow on the day of our wedding," she said.

Scorpius smiled and wiped the tears from her cheeks with his thumb. "It will be the most perfect snow you have ever seen."

A/N: This is the first decent thing I've managed to write over my holiday break. I am sincerely trying to come up with decent material to post for my other fics, but don't want to post anything I'll regret later. I am sorry, but I hope you will all stick with me. Happy Holidays to all, and thanks for the lovely reviews so far for this fic.
