AN: Alright, here is the third, Astoria/Rose, one of Mew and Mor's Weird Pairings. Consider it a follow up of sorts to Falling and Innocence, not all of these are going to be connected. Enjoy.


Drowning

You hate falling, you're terrified of it. Though to be honest its not the falling that scares you but whatever awaits you at the bottom of the drop, with Scorpius it had been cement and the collision had left you broken, broken in such a way that you thought you would never be whole again. You thought that the Malfoys would want nothing to do with you after you threw your engagement ring into Scorpius' face, but you were wrong. Astoria had appeared at your door and lent you her shoulder to cry on, she had comforted you. She had helped piece you back together, she became your closest friend. And then you were falling again, but you didn't recognize the signs. You didn't want to recognize the signs, you were too scared. But with Astoria there was water at the bottom of the drop, and soon you were drowning with no chance of swimming back to the surface. These feelings hit you hard and fast without warning. You can't go near the older witch without being drowned in her. Face it Rose, you have fallen in love with your former boyfriends mother. Her scent surrounds you, her warmth pulls you in, those ice blue eyes haunt you, and those red lips beg to be kissed. Perhaps that was why you did what you did when, on a frozen winter morning Astoria showed up at your door with coffee. You sat down and chatted, talking about everything and nothing. One moment you had been treading water, paying attention to your friend and then you were drowning again, unable to do anything but stare at the witch beside you. "Rose? Are you all right?" She asked, her face the picture of concern. And then you had simply leaned in and kissed her, you had no idea why, your only explanation was that you had gone temporarily insane. But no matter how hard you try Rose, you can't explain why she kissed you back.
