Chapter 15 Beautiful Dream
"Wow" Al said going into the room of requirement where a make shift apartment for his aunt, uncle and Rose was for the time being.
"Thanks" she said blushing it was the night of the ball and her parents had to go ahead and help with preparations and since she was still quite shy Albus had not got a date and was taking Rose to the ball.
"When did you get that?" he said pointing at the dress Rose was wearing it was a light floor length dress with a lace top that went nearly all the way to her neck with sleeves that ended just before her elbow it was also a pale blue.
"Mum took me shopping with Lily and aunt Ginny last weekend" Rose replied turning back to the mirror to finish putting her hair so that it swept to one side and over her shoulder.
"What and you got through the paparazzi I'm impressed" Al said sinking into one of the sofas. Rose had only ventured outside of Hogwarts and into other parts of wizarding Britain a few times but each time cameras followed her everywhere.
"Okay ready" Rose said finally prompting Albus to stand and linking his arm with hers led her to the great hall. All eyes seemed to turn when they entered and Rose in embarrassment went bright red and urged Albus to walk faster so soon they were at one side of the whole where most of the family was now congregated.
"Will you dance with me Rose?" Arthur said to his granddaughter kindly and Rose nodded. Over the next two hours Rose danced with every male member of her family and Lily for some odd reason. It was like a dream seeing all the people in dresses and robes dancing but the clock above the door was something she kept making her eyes go back to.
"Louis please excuse me" Rose said smiling at her cousin who shrugged before turning to try find his date that he had brought that night and James had walked off with a little earlier.
Rose walked out of the great hall with no problem most of her family was busy and thought she was with Louis who she had saw go towards the trophy room so he would be hidden for a little while giving her time.
"You look amazing" Scorpius said stepping out from the shadows of the tower they were both at the top of the astronomy tower and Rose on seeing Scorpius stepped forward and brought him into a hug. When they pulled apart she kissed him and then looked him up and down.
"What are you wearing?" Scorpius laughed.
"No I love you or you missed me?" he said and Rose laughed a bit. Scorpius then continued.
"This Miss Weasley is my best dress robes knowing that, that dreaded map was hidden by yours truly me and Katherine came early and collected our outfits.
"What really?" Rose said looking around for Katherine.
"She's already downstairs" Scorpius said making Rose turn in horror.
"What but if anyone sees her"
"That's the point" Scorpius said seriously Rose stepped back from him.
"What but she'll get arrested I'm going to find her" Rose made for the door but Scorpius grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Rose me and Katherine talked hiding away will make your family assure our guilt in there minds more having the bravery to turn ourselves in and give our stories will make it better as well as you explaining as well" Rose nodded with silent tears and then a thought struck her.
"What coming forward means you have be dressed up?" Scorpius smiled and then said.
"Well if I'm to be arrested might as well do it in style will you dance with me in the great hall" Scorpius then bowed and offered his hand which Rose accepted before the two of them started making there way down the steps and invisibility spell on them for the time being.
"So where's Katherine?" Rose said looking around for the dark haired girl but not seeing her anywhere. They were now in the hall and invisible still Scorpius lifted his arm which only Rose could see and pointed at a blonde girl in a dark red dress next to the buffet table.
"She changed her appearance slightly for the night" Scorpius whispered to Rose who giggled slightly because Ally had been flirting with Katherine in her changed appearance all night.
"So what now" Rose asked and Scorpius simply led her to the middle of floor avoiding hitting anyone then a large barrier seemed to go up around the dance floor pushing all the dancers off instead of Rose and Scorpius in the middle leaving the rest of the people in the great hall to try get through the barrier and look confused.
"May I have this dance" Scorpius asked Rose as he lifted the spell and the music began before long he had swept Rose into a slow dance across the dance floor she knew this wouldn't last forever she knew the song would end but for now the only two people in the world were her and Scorpius.
