I was sitting in my favorite chair in the library in front of the fireplace. Just arriving back from break this morning, my homework was long done weeks ago, giving me the chance to relax and read my new book that Jack had given me.

I heard someone come up behind and wrap their arms around me.

"This better be Scorpius..."

I heard a chuckle and Scorp bent over so he could kiss me on the forehead before he walked around and sat in the chair next to me.

"You look comfortable," he stated.

"I am. You know that this was one of the scents I smelled when we made the Amortentia?"

A confused look came across his face. "The library?" he asked.

"Well specifically right in front of the fireplace. That and the kitchen when Grandma is making gingerbread at Christmas." I closed my eyes for a moment to image the smell.

Scorp nodded, "Both lovely. What's the third?"

I paled, suddenly remembering what else I had smelled. "Third?"

"Yeah. You are supposed to smell three scents."

"Uhmm I don't remember it," I stammered.

A grin broke out onto his face. He knew I was lying. "Rose what is it?"

"What was yours?" I challenged.

"I'm not telling you mine, until you tell me yours."

I shook my head. "Well, guess I'll never know." I grabbed my book and got up to leave.

Scorpius was up on his feet in seconds standing in front of me.

"I will find out," he said, matter of factly.

I crossed my arms. "Oh will you?"

He nodded. "I will. But not now. For now let's just enjoy this fire."

I let him lead me back and where I kicked off my shoes and curled up next to him in the big chair.

But I knew he wasn't going to drop it that easy.

...

The next evening, after a long day back of classes, I wanted nothing but to go to sleep. Instead I had to finish a Defense Against the Dark Arts essay that was unfortunately due on Wednesday.

I was in mid-essay, sitting in the common room, when there was a loud knock on the outside wall. I got up to go open it, and there stood my boyfriend, holding flowers.

"What's this for?" I smiled taking them from him with a huge smile on my face.

"This is the first thing I smelled when we made Amortentia. My mum has a garden full of them."

I brought the flowers to my face, and inhaled the sweet smell. They smelled like honey.

"They are lovely Scorp," I said, "Thank you."

His face broke out into a huge grin. "Good, because that is only part one. I'm taking you on a date."

I sighed. "I'd love that, but I have to finish my essay..."

"I knew you'd say that," Scorpius said, "So that's why I'm taking you on a date in one hour. Meet on the first floor, by the painting of the winged horse race."

I knew of the painting, it was right in the front hall. I always loved going to the races with my Uncle Bill, so I often stopped and watched it for awhile when passing by.

"Alright. One hour?"

"One hour," Scorp confirmed. Then he gave me a quick peck on the cheek. "Now hurry up and finish your essay."

I closed the door shaking my head. What did that boy have in store for me?

...

"I don't want to wear a blindfold."

I glared at the scarf he was holding in his hand. Having Scorpius lead me through the castle without me being able to see where we were going did not sound fun.

"Come on Rosie," he pestered, "It's part of the date!"

"You'll probably let me fall down a flight of stairs! I don't fancy going to the hospital ward tonight."

"I won't let that happen. Don't you trust me?"

I did. A year ago I wouldn't of trusted him with anything. But now I would trust him with my life.

I grabbed the scarf from his hand, and he smirked. He helped me tie it around my eyes, so soon I couldn't see anything.

"Alright, now walk with me this way..."

Scorpius grabbed my hips and urged me forward. He led me down a long hallway, and we made a couple turns. At first I tried to make a mental image in my mind of where I thought we were at. But soon I gave that up, after turning where I thought there was a solid wall.

"Alright Rose we are approaching some steps. Here comes the first one. Good, next one. "

He led me down the rest of the stairs, we turned a few times until he stopped me in front of a door.

"Don't take off your blindfold until I tell you to," Scorp said, "Ok?"

"Alright. If you led me somewhere like the locker rooms I'm going to be so mad."

Scorpius just laughed, and stepped away from me, leaving me blind and now with no one to stable me.

I heard a giggle, which extremely confused me. Was someone else here? Then I heard a door open. Scorpius was behind me again and lead me through what I assumed was the open door.

A waft of a delicious smell rushed over me. I heard pots and pans banging, people bustling around.

"Are we in the kitchen?"

Scorpius didn't reply, and instead led me over to what I assumed was a stool.

"Ok Rose, before I let you take off the blindfold, I want you to take a deep breath and tell me what you smell."

I could smell a lot of different foods, but the strongest by far was fresh baking bread. My mouth started to water, I could almost taste the buttery fluffiness of a loaf.

I felt Scorpius reach behind my head and untie the scarf. Suddenly the light flooded in blinding me. When I could see again I saw that I was indeed in the kitchen, sitting in front of the brick oven. Inside I could see a fresh loaf rising.

I turned around to see Scorpius smiling at me.

"This is the second thing I smelled that day in potions. My grandmother on my mother's side always makes me a loaf of bread when I come over. She makes the best bread I've ever tasted."

"It smells delicious."

The timer dinged and a house elf came and got it out of the oven. The elf brought the piping hot bread to the counter beside me.

Scorpius thanked the elf, and grabbed a knife to cut me a piece of it. I bit in to it and melted when the warm buttery goodness filled my mouth.

Scorpius smiled at the look on my face. "I take it that you like it?"

"Uh-huhh," I said, still eating.

We took second helpings of the bread, and then a third before Scorpius told me it was time for part three. The final part of the date.

"Do I have to be blindfolded again? I appreciate the sentiment of it being a surprise where we are going, but it's really annoying not knowing where I am walking."

Scorpius laughed. "No, there's too many flights of stairs to the next part. You'd most definitely fall."

I rolled my eyes and took his outstretched hand. We headed up the stairs to the destination unbeknownst to me .

"How's Artemis adjusting to the Hogwarts life?" Scorp asked as we trekked up to the second floor.

"She loves it here. I went and visited her last night. She seems to have made some friends already." I swung our hands back and forth as we rounded off to the next staircase.

"Of course she has, she's the prettiest owl in the whole owlery."

"Even prettier than Scipio?" I teased.

Scorpius grimaced, "Every owl is prettier than Scipio. I swear my father picked the ugliest out of the lot."

I shoved him playfully, "Don't be so mean to him, he's a fine owl! Better an ugly one than one who gets lost."

"That's true. Albus really has the worst luck with animals doesn't he?"

I laughed, "Hey the ferret wasn't so bad! It just ran away. All the time."

"Who could blame it, it was living with Al."

We made our way up staircase after staircase until I finally had an idea where we were going. The astronomy tower.

I didn't expect when I opened the door to the observatory to see a big soft pillow and blankets in the middle of the room.

The breath was taken out of me, and not just because of the all the flights of stairs we just climbed. "What's all this?"

"I thought we could do some star-gazing." Malfoy said from behind me. I turned around and saw he was at the wall. He reached down and started to turn a crank on the wall.

I had been up in the observatory a thousand times for astronomy. But all those times looking at the stars for class was nothing like this.

I looked up, watching in awe as the cover was removed from the roof above. The cold January air rushed in, biting my face, but I ignored it. I kept my eyes focused on the sky as slowly above me stars twinkled into sight.

Scorpius came up behind me and draped a coat onto my shoulders. He led me over to where the blankets and pillows were laid in the middle of the room.

He had thought of everything. Two heat orbs (WWW orginals) laid beside us, keeping us warm from the cold. I laid down, looking up at the sky above.

"It's so beautiful," I said, "It looks so different right now than it usually does."

Scorpius laid down beside me and I snuggled up next to him laying my head in the crook of his neck.

We laid like that for awhile in silence, gazing up at the stars.

I was content to lay like that forever.

"It was you. That's what I smelled that day in potions," I said in a whisper, "Like when you hold me close to you, and I am burrowed into your shirt.

I expected Scorpius to break out into a smirk and say something sarcastic. Instead he kissed my hair on the side of my head.

"Your hair," he said, "My third thing was your hair, when your head is leaning up next to me, and it falls on top of me."

My heart soared hearing that. The smell of my hair was one of the things he was most attracted to. I was

"I love you Scorpius." I said, my eyes starting to close.

"I love you too Rose."

I fell asleep, his arms around me.

I woke up to Scorpius gently shaking me.

"Rose...Rose it's starting to snow. We better get back to our rooms."

I sleepily nodded and he helped me to my feet. He closed the door, keeping the snow from getting in, and then came and wrapped his arms around my waist as we descended down.

In front of the Gryffindor common room entrance, he gave me a gentle kiss goodnight.

"Till tomorrow my sweet Rose."

I'm so sorry for the wait! I just want you to know that I am trying my hardest to update as soon as I can :)

Reviews would be lovely and appreciated!

Love you all 3
