"-And Lily thinks that I should go for it, you know. She says I'm stubborn enough to convince them, but with my views in the right direction. I told her she's being stupid and that I'd never get it, but then Dominique stepped in and agreed with Lily. So then we asked Aunt Ginny, as she's in that sort of business, and she says I could manage it if I tried-"

Rose and Scorpius were driving down an almost-deserted street, in the direction of Rose's house. They had just been to Scorpius' and it had gone rather well; telling his parents, that is, about them. His father had laughed, looked Rose up and down, and said, "You got a good one, Son." which earned a slap on the arm from Astoria, who said she'd be happy with whoever he brought home. So with his family out the way, it was time to break the news to the Weasley-Grangers. Rose was dreading it, but Scorpius was convinced it would go as smoothly as it did with the Malfoys. Scorpius was currently staring out the window of the little, dark blue car as Rose talked away like no tomorrow.

"Listen to me; I, I've been speed talking for about sixty kilometres now. I, I talk when I'm nervous, I mean, I, I talk like this when I'm nervous." Scorpius laughed and looked at his girlfriend with a raised eyebrow. Rose blushed."I'm gonna shut up now ..."

"Don't. It's amusing."

Rose glared at her boyfriend, which earned another laugh from Scorpius. Scowling, Rose looked back at the road and sped up.

"Aw, come on, Rose," Scorpius said after five minutes of silence. "I'm sorry, I really am. I like hearing about your life." Rose snorted, but didn't comment, so Scorpius took her hand in his. "Rose, please? I love you."

"Scorpius, let go of my hand, I need to change gears," Rose said simply. He released her hand but she made no attempt at changing the gears as her hand rested lightly on the gear stick.

"Rose Weasley, if you don't talk to me this instant, I will kiss you, which will leave you so witless that you'll lose control of the car and end our lives."

Rose rolled her eyes and her boyfriend's egotistical, melodramatic logic. "Remind me why I love you again?" she asked.

"Because I'm irresistible," he grinned.

"Of course, that's it," Rose mumbled as she turned the corner into her drive. Upon parking the car, she fiddled with the seatbelt, trying to get it off.

A pair of pale, warm hands enclosed hers, pulling them away from the seat belt. "Love, it'll be alright. We'll get through this. It'll be fine."

"You've never met my dad, have you?"

"Well, that's kind of what we're here for now, Rosie."

She stuck her tongue out at him and he released her hands, reaching down to un-do her seatbelt with ease. He leaned over and kissed her cheek, hovering there longer than necessary. Her eyes closed automatically and she turned her head to meet his lips.

"We can do this," he whispered as he pulled away.

"Easy for you to say," Rose grumbled, though she admittedly felt a lot better about it as he pulled her into a hug. They could get through this, as long as they were together.

"Listen to me; I, I've been speed talking for about sixty kilometres now. I, I talk when I'm nervous, I mean, I, I talk like this when I'm nervous. I'm gonna shut up now ..." - The Bourne Identity.

A/N: Meh. It's alright, this one, I guess... Oh, and Rose has a car because her mum's a Muggleborn, just like when Hermione had a car in the first chapter, 'No Cliche'. This is before the cliche meeting that Hermione wanted, meaning chapter one never happened. I was tempted to make this SomeoneElse/Scorpius so it wouldn't clash with the first chapter, but decided against it because none of the chapters are connected, unless I say they are.
