The next time, the calendar marked it as a Sunday.

It have became an unspoken agreement that any Sunday there wasn't a meeting at The Burrow Rose and Scorpius will make plans for themselves. It change from more movie nights, to hanging out on Hogsmade, to having dinner, to just walking around the neighborhood, maybe catching some Quidditch game if it happened to be on that day. So this particularly end of the week, when Albus happened to have a pretty awful crash while flying on his broom with some drinks on, Rose and Scorpius found themselves canceling their plans and arriving together at St Mungo's.

"Albus! are you ok? My dad sounded so worried when he told me, I thought someone had chop off a piece of you"

"What? a piece of me? as in an arm or a leg?"

"Well, yeah! He sounded pretty serious"

"Is uncle Ron, he sometimes overreact Rose. You know that"

"Well, is wonderful to see he was overreacting and that you are fine, being sassy and all" Scorpius intervened, being relieved that his friend wasn't missing any parts of his body.

"Scorp! I hadn't see you there. Were you working tonight? I thought you rested on Sundays"

"No, I'm not on healer duty, I just got here with Rose. You really didn't see me? Cause..."

"Wait! you just got here together? The two of you. Decided to come at the same time, as in you were already together? on a Sunday?"

"Why are you making it sound so much like a conspiracy? Yes, we came together. My dad told me, and I was with Scorp, so we came right away" Rose was giving Albus her more casual look along with a doubtful eye so he could think what happened was the most normal thing in the world.

"So... you WERE together on a Sunday! Alone? Like, the two of you. In a normal manner. Am I supposed to believe that's completely normal? Since when do you do this?"

Rose and Scorpius shared a look, a questioning one, both wondering if he really was asking all this and also, how come he didn't know? why was it so alien to him that they sometimes hung out together?

"Listen, mate. I'm so relieved to see you in this condition, really, and I hope you're out soon, is not that severe, right? you're on Ground floor after all. But, maybe, now you need some rest. We understand..."

"We? huh. I'm fine! So you're not going to explain anything? you're just going to walk away"

"There's nothing to explain" said Rose, while Lily and James crashed the room interrupting the moment Albus was trying to grasp.

"Oh! you have both of your legs! See James? I told you uncle Ron is pretty good at making storms on glasses of water! Oh, hey Rose! Scorpius" Lily greeted them both amicably while turning to his brother in the bed "Now. You! What did you do, huh? what was it? a broken nail Al?" continued Lily making a mockingly pouty face.

"Oh Lily not now, I'm in the middle of some serious talk! and I actually got an awful broken leg, that they just fixed but still hurt a lot! you should have seen how it looked at first!"

Rose and Scorpius watched as Lily rolled her eyes while slowly getting out through the door, avoiding the rest of the questionnaire Albus got for them. Instead, they found themselves walking around in a park nearby that Scorpius knew about.

"Can you believe his reaction? Completely over the top! I don't even know where it came from"

"So, you have never told him?"

"Told him what?" Scorpius said, turning his gaze from the path ahead to Rose, knowing exactly what she was talking about, but wanting her to say it anyway.

"Well, that we sometimes meet, that we hang out, we eat lunch. On Sundays. You never mentioned that?"

"I guess I haven't. I really didn't noticed until now... I thought it was normal" he said this while looking away "You haven't said anything either" he continued, turning back, confronting her and staring at her eyes, hoping they carried some reassurance in them.

Rose turned away, "I haven't", and kept walking along with him.

He decided to shift the conversation to their usual ways. The ones in which they went along with stuff. Since that casual kiss on her house -that at the next day seemed almost like a dream to both of them- they kept hanging around, being more open with each other but never discussing what had happened or what it had meant to each one. They were very good friends that enjoyed spending time together and didn't want to ruin it. And that kiss, if it had happened or not, remain unspoken for the same reasons. What they got was working and there was no need to mess around with it by being awkward, "Anyway, I'm so glad he is fine. But he could have chosen any other day to get wasted in his broom and break his leg. It was just rude to intrude in our Sunday like that and start questioning everything. He doesn't has any right to make any sort of question, and we don't have to answer them. Even less when there ¡s nothing weird about it, and he is just copying your father's ways of overreacting. Because there's..." Scorpius stopped speaking when he noticed his companion wasn't with him anymore, he turned around and noticed her a few steps behind, staring at him.

"What? Are you ok?"

"Scorpius, I know we never talk about this..." she was using his full name, this was serious, "But I think we should, now. Why did none of us told Albus, or anyone for that matter, about our friendship?"

"Rose, I don't know. We were friends already, is not such news..."

"Don't you tell everything to Albus? I thought you were really close. Best friends"

"He is my best mate and all, but I don't tell him everything. There are things I keep to myself, and stuff I don't consider relevant telling him..."

"So this wasn't relevant telling. This. Yeah I got it, you know? We were already this, this close! nothing has changed, sure"

"No, wait. That wasn't what I meant. Is not that I don't consider this relevant but that I didn't wanted to tell him. I don't tell a lot of things to people, in general"

"Yeah. You keep you to yourself. You haven't tell me everything either. Got it" but Rose knew this wasn't completely true. When he was with her he managed to catch her up in all that was going on with his life, even the smallest things, like the breakfast he had have that morning. What she didn't know was that this happened because he felt he owed it to her, as a retribution for building him a home. And also because it was simple, words flowed with her better than with anyone else Scorpius knew. But as she was oblivious of all this, she was now wondering if there was more than what she knew, stuff that maybe she will never knew cause, Scorpius was indeed reserved, he carried within himself a mysterious look that fitted him way too well, and what exactly made her think it would be different with her?

"That might have been the case some time ago, but you and Albus kind of changed that. Remember fourth year? 'Malfoy you are going to tell us which girl you are taking to the ball! no cheating!' and I told you! I realized I couldn't keep secrets with you two from that moment on" he laughed to himself hoping Rose will do the same, but when he didn't heard anything he turned to catch her serious face again. He decided to continue talking, "I keep secrets Rose. I do, because some information is not to be shared with everyone, even my best friend, and I know there are things I should rather keep to myself. Though with you that have proved to be impossible" While he spoke he started walking towards her, who was standing still, not moving, not changing expressions either. He said the last part while standing right in front of Rose and waiting for her to answer in some way.

"We kissed. We kissed that first Sunday, when we watched movies at my house" even though it was spoken as a statement, it was clear in her eyes that it have been said as an interrogation. She wanted him to confirm her this wasn't an illusion that have came to her while sleeping. That she wasn't just presenting her deepest fantasies for him to judge. If they talked about everything, or if he couldn't help but telling her everything, why was this not a subject they could address?

"We did. But I don't know what it meant or at least what it meant for you. And I didn't know if you wanted to discuss it? or, at some point I didn't even know if it really happened"

A small grin crossed Rose's face. Because he wasn't sure it had happened either.

"I... I though it wasn't real for a while too" they chuckled, "I don't know what we got here. What is happening or if naming it differently will change it. I just know that I made a promise to you a long time ago and that, no matter what, I'm going to keep it, ok? You will always have a home Scorpius" She paused, waiting for his face to change in some way. He didn't broke her gaze and just grabbed her face as he had made some years ago, but now with a different intention. He kissed her in the lips and as the kiss was returned he allowed himself to move his hands between her hair and further the kiss. He only broke it to make a promise himself.

"I know" he said smiling, "And now, here, I make a promise myself. Me, Scorpius Malfoy, hereby promise to make every day we spend a Sunday. Because that's my favorite day of the week. Did you know that? Cause I want you to know everything. It's my favorite day cause is the only moment in the week in which you are with me no matter what. And I guess I wanted that only to myself and was afraid that if I shared it with someone else it might went away. But, Rose Weasley, as I declare right here and right now there will be nothing but Sundays, I also want to thank you for being my home"

"Anytime" Rose said, sealing the promise by smiling and kissing him again with the dark trees in the park as witnesses.

Author's note: First of all, thank you for reading! I'm so sorry this took so long! But I hope the fact that is now published will help compensating the belatedness.

Second, I would love to hear what you think about it! It will be of great help for writing the last chapter, that I hope doesn't takes as long as this one. :)
