Chapter 2: Winter Kisses
Later on in the day, when everyone had recovered from their hangovers, the Burrow was on it's way to being neat and tidy again. The living room was no longer filled with empty glasses, bowls and plates from the late night treats. The kitchen was tidy and every surface shining. It was mid afternoon when everyone stopped to admire their handiwork. With all of the work completed and the house back to it's old self, Mrs Weasley with help from Rose and Lily - who was still trying to get over her hangover - prepared the lunch for all of the remaining guests of the Burrow.
The girls and their grandmother stood in the kitchen preparing the left over soup and cutting up bread, when a knock at the backdoor stopped them. Lily went to the door and pulled it open, letting in a bitter cold wind.
"Hi is Rose still here?" a recognisable voice said.
Lily looked at her cousin and opened the door wider to let the visitor in. Standing in a dark brown jacket and thick soled boots, was Mark. "Hi Rose" Mark smiled.
"Hi" Rose smiled, it still amazed her how breathless she got when she looked at him. Mark was captain of the Ravenclaw quidditch team. With his broad shoulders and dazzling smile, it was a wonder why he chose Rose out of all the girls in their year. "How was your Christmas?" she asked.
"Good, how was yours?" Mark asked.
Rose just nodded and sent her grandmother and cousin a look which said she wanted to be alone. Mrs Weasley shuffled Lily out of the kitchen, "Mark dear it's nice seeing you again, if you want to stay for lunch there is plenty of soup to go around"
"That would be great thanks" Mark smiled. Rose closed the kitchen door after her relatives and sat down at the kitchen table. Mark took off his jacket and sat across from her.
"I hope you don't think I'm being cheeky but why are you here Mark?" Rose asked.
"I came to give you this" Mark said, fishing a small box out of his jacket pocket.
Rose gingerly picked up the box, she opened the velvety lid to see a necklace winking up at her. It was a simple gold chain with a small heart shaped locket on the end. Rose picked up the locket and stared at it, it was beautiful but she didn't wear necklaces. In fact she didn't really wear jewellery, the only thing she wore was a small string bracelet that Scorpius bought her one day they went to Diagon Alley.
The day Rose and Scorpius went to Diagon Alley, it was a gloriously sunny day. The small wizarding town was packed with witches and wizards bustling up and down the streets getting prepared for returning to Hogwarts the following week. As Rose and Scorpius were leaving Flourish and Blotts bookstore Rose noticed a small market stall in a nook of the street. Rose grabbed Scorpius's wrist and pulled him towards the stall.
Rose looked down at the pretty string jewellery, many pieces of brightly coloured string wound together to create a beautiful weave of colours, held tightly with a small silver clasp. In front of the bracelets in large looped writing were little signs, each with a different word. Luck, wealth, friendship and love were just a few.
"Interested?" asked the woman behind the stall. She had masses of black hair which tumbled down her back held in place with a golden head band. Her wrists jingled with hundreds of bracelets, a few had little bells attached to them. Her large green eyes studied Rose and Scorpius.
"Just looking, they are beautiful" Rose breathed, "What do these mean?" she asked, pointing at the luck sign.
The woman winked, "they mean what you want them to mean, each of these bracelets are special. Hide special qualities. That sort of thing, care for one?" the woman asked, picking up the basket of Luck bracelets.
Rose felt tempted to pick up one of the bracelets rummaged in her pockets counting her money. She signed, "sorry I can't afford one. But they are beautiful. C'mon Scorpius let's go"
Before they left Diagon Alley, Rose sat in The Leaky Cauldron waiting for Scorpius as he did some last minute shopping. She stood up when Scorpius came into the pub smiling to himself. Rose caught the smirk on his face, "what are you smiling about?"
In response Scorpius held out his hand and dropped a string bracelet into her hand. "I know how much you loved them and before you argue you are taking it, and I'm not taking no for an answer" Scorpius said, smiling at Rose.
Rose couldn't respond she just pulled him into a hug and held on tight, "you are my best friend Scorpius . Thank you so much"
Rose spun the bracelet around her wrist, she later found out that it had been a friendship bracelet. She looked up at Mark and smiled, she reminded herself that she was so lucky right now. She had an amazing boyfriend, was in her last year of Hogwarts and soon she would be taking on an internship at the Ministry of Magic in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. She had her life sorted out but why was she still feeling sad and angry?
"Well? What do you think of the necklace, baby?" Mark asked, holding Rose's hand.
"It's beautiful, can you put it on me?" she asked, standing up and walking round the table.
Mark grinned and Rose lifted the hair from the back of her neck. Mark unclasped the chain and slipped it around Rose's neck, delicately he clasped the necklace again. He softly stroked her neck making Rose shiver. Lightly he pressed his lips to her throat. The cool metal against Rose's neck felt scorching hot from Mark's lips.
She dropped her hair and turned around smiling at Mark, his blue eyes sparkled mischievously but it faded when Rose shook her head. "My family are here are you crazy?" she giggled.
"Was just a thought, but I gotta go anyway" Mark said, he took Rose in his arms and kissed her passionately, taking away Rose's breath. When he pulled away, he winked, "See you at school, Rosie" he said before closing over the backdoor.
Rose's legs felt like jelly and her stomach flipped over. They were so close, if her family hadn't have been here. Her and Mark would have been able to sneak up stairs, slowly undress and have sex for the first time. Times like this was when Rose hated having a big family.
