What If?

Prompt 3: Agitated

Rose continued to walk up and down her room, feeling extremely horrified. Had she just thought of their wedding as hers? No…no…no! Scorpius and she were in this together. They had been planning this since months…then why couldn't she remember a single suggestion of his? Why couldn't she remember him?!

She had spent some time with him this morning, but couldn't remember anything he had spoken to her about. Had she even allowed him to speak? She could just remember her going on and on about the preparations.

Now that she thought of it, she realized that it all her! Just her! She had selected the flowers. She had chosen the colors. She had designed the cards. She had seen to the seating arrangements. She had seen over the guest list. Hell, she had even chosen his vows, just because she knew he wasn't good with words! What had she done?! She had turned into a mean selfish person and forgotten the real meaning of marriage!

"Oh my god! He's not gonna marry me!" she moaned, and sat on the floor hugging her knees and just crying.

"Rose?" she heard her mother's voice, through the slightly open door. Hermione's eyes widened as she took in the sight of her daughter.

"What happened?" she hurried towards Rose, and knelt on the floor.

"He's not going to marry me!" Rose cried harder, and hugged her mother.

"Sweetheart…w-wh-at are you saying?!" Hermione could hardly get the words out of her mouth.

"He's not going to marry me Mom!" Rose wailed again.

"Rose…did Scorpius tell you that?" Hermione asked, trying to stay calm.

"No! But he's not going to…I know!" Rose's words were hardly understandable.

"Rose you need to tell me what's going on! Was Scorpius here?" Hermione continued to question her daughter while looking around searching for any sign of Scorpius.

Between chokes and stammering Rose told her mother everything, "…I saw it in the movie. Mr. Big leaves Carrie! He panics…Scorpius is also going to do that!"

"Oh honey!" Hermione sighed in relief and hugged her daughter again trying to calm her down. "Shush!"

"Listen to me…" she said in a sterner manner, trying to get Rose listen to her. "Nobody who's seen Scorpius just look at you will think that he's going to stand you up. Why do you think your father gave his approval without much tantrum? Scorpius loves you!-"

"Mr. Big loved Carrie too," she interrupted, sobbing still.

"Rose! Be practical! That is just a movie!"

"But it can happen mom!" Rose exclaimed hysterically.

Hermione stared at Rose for a long while, then finally said, "You know, nothing I say is going to make you calm…I think you should go see Scorpius."

"Now?" Rose questioned staring at her mother; it was almost two o clock in the night!

"Yes, now. Go see him…talk to him, and this time honey, listen to him," she advised.

"Okay," Rose nodded fervently.

"Good luck," her mother hugged her once more, and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Thanks mom," she hugged her back.

Then, Rose ran around her bed room looking for her wand and concentrated on Scorpius's apartment door.

"Sometimes you're too much like Ron," Hermione mumbled as Rose disapparated.


Scorpius had been lying awake in his bed staring at the ceiling since a very long time. He had tried everything to sleep, but he just couldn't! He was getting married to Rose in few hours. He wanted that day to be perfect just because it meant so much to her, and looking like a frikking dead man he didn't want to disappoint her. He sighed again.

Somehow, everything felt wrong…and he was so nervous! Every since the wedding planning had started, everything had changed. His Rose had changed. He had thought that Rose wouldn't care about anything else other than marrying him, but she had just turned into a very energetic force who took part in every little decision. It was a good thing of course…but he had felt a little left out. It had suddenly become too…different.

He hated himself for even thinking that, but this was how things had been. He picked up the crumpled paper next to him and read it. It contained the vows that he had written. He had wanted it to be a surprise, to capture the look on her face forever in his heart, when he would say those words on their wedding day. But Rose had just handed him a printed copy, and asked him to learn it by heart. She had also made him promise, that he would only say this instead of something stupid.

Feeling hurt, and hoping that his Rose would be back to normal after the wedding, he closed his eyes, trying to sleep. Just then there was a deafening banging at his door. Surprised and tired he got up and headed toward the door wearing his robe.

"Albus if it's you again I swear to god-" he stopped as he took in who it was standing at the door.

"Rose!" he exclaimed in shock. "What happened?" he asked in worry. The more he looked at her, the worse she looked. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were puffy and red and tears were rolling down her eyes.

"Please don't leave me!" she cried, her face was in anguish.

"What?" Scorpius watched her in confusion. For a moment he seriously considered the possibility of this being a dream.

"M I dreaming?" he asked stupidly.

"No, you're not," Rose mumbled.

"Okay?" he nodded still not feeling sure. "…come inside," he ushered her in, realizing that she was standing out in cold, just in her pajamas. He led her to the couch, rubbing her back, trying to comfort her.

"What's wrong?" he asked her softly.

"You're going to run away aren't you? You're going to leave me at the altar," she looked at him with such a confident expression that he was taken aback.

Even more than in confusion, he was extremely sure that it was a dream! He had managed to fall asleep, and of all the dreams he could be dreaming he was dreaming of Rose accusing him to stand her up at their wedding.

"Say something!" Rose smacked him on the shoulder.

"W-why m I dreaming this?" he asked her.

"You are not dreaming! This is real!"

"Right…real," he drawled. "Wait…why would I run away?" he asked, thinking back on what she had just told him.

"I'm so sorry!"

He had never seen Rose cry…not like this. "Rose, honey…just calm down, and tell me what's wrong?" he spoke to her firmly, placing his hands on either sides of her face.

"I have made the wedding so materialistic!" she exclaimed. "I got so carried away that I left you out of things! It was never us, it was always just me! Starting from the littlest things to the most important ones…I never took your opinion…I never let you. I forgot the whole reason and meaning of us doing this…I forgot that this was us marrying! I forgot you Scorpius…I became some monster! And I'm scared that you'll leave me tomorrow because of that…"

For a moment, Scorpius simply stared at her. He was astounded at everything she had admitted. While Scorpius contemplated or rather tried to come out of this surprise, Rose watched him with fear and expectation in her eyes.

"Rose…" he finally whispered.

She waited for him to speak. "I would never do that to you sweetheart. I know that things have been crazy for the past few months, but I love you…I need you in life too much to ever take that decision," he said softly, and pulled her against his chest.

"I'm sorry…I was just so stupid!" she hugged him back. He could hear the relief in her tone and the way he body had relaxed immediately when he had told her that he wouldn't leave her ever, made him smile. He realized that he was feeling relieved too…the nervous tugging in his heart was gone.

"Anyway, if I do that…your father will hunt me till I'm dead," he joked. Rose laughed and just held him tighter. Stroking her hair Scorpius rested his cheek on her head just enjoying the feeling of calm.

"Rose…we need to sleep," he told her. It wouldn't be a great idea if both the bride and the bridegroom fall asleep just before the vows.

"Okay, I'll leave," she mumbled, looking sad.

"Why don't you sleep in here?" he asked her.

"Yeah?" she smiled her face lighting up.

"Yeah…by the way, don't be angry, but you look like hell," he chuckled and ruffled her already messed hair.

She rolled her eyes and then sighed, "I know…I'll be the worst looking bride ever!"

"Yeah, I think so," he pretended to look solemn. She gave him her familiar glare allotted just for him. "I just joking…" he laughed.

"You'll be the most beautiful bride…ever," he added softly, bending to kiss her.

Just as his lips brushed softly against hers Rose's hands were around his neck, her fingers playing with his hair and his hands rested on her back pulling her closer as the kiss deepened. Each time Scorpius kissed Rose, it felt like the first time. He could feel his lips burn as they moved in a synchronized manner under hers.

His legs were weakening, all he wanted to do was just carry Rose to his bed and stop thinking as they explored each other.

"-should-sleep-" Rose mumbled against his lips.

"Mhmm…"

"Scorp…" blushing deep red, and rather reluctantly Rose pushed him.

"Can't we just elope?" he asked her with a groan.

"Dad will murder both of us then," Rose giggled.

Chuckling, both of them walked to Scorpius's room, and lay in the bed snuggling up to each other.

"What's this?" Rose asked finding his crumpled paper.

"Umm…my vows," he said hesitantly.

"You don't have to read them! They were stupid anyway…just say whatever you want…or even if you don't, I'll understand," she told him, sounding hot and bothered while referring to the ones she had handed him few days ago.

"No, these are different. I wrote them Rose," his tone was hardly audible. If she hadn't been lying so close to him, she would have missed it.

She propped up on her elbow, her blue eyes staring into his she whispered, "I can't wait to hear it."

Feeling joyous at her response, he smiled and kissed her forehead. As he darkened the room, he thought about how he had been worried and nervous just over an hour ago. It was all past now. He just couldn't wait to marry Rose now…his Rose was back.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you," she whispered back.

And that was all he needed.


A/N: Its longer than I expected it to be. There's a slight Sex and the City (the movie) reference too. Rose's reaction can be stated as dramatic I guess, but we have heard of wedding jitters right?

M glad I didn't make it angsty and it ended on a happier note. I may write more wedding one-shots in future for a different prompt. But I'm not so sure.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

It would be lovely if you leave me a review.
