That Saturday a Hogsmeade trip was scheduled and Scorpius had sought out Rose Friday after school and asked her if she would like to go on a date with him to the town. Rose had instantly agreed, glad she would be able to spend the time with him.
The weather on Saturday could've been a lot better. The sun was shining, but the weather was still freezing. A slight wind was blowing, making the weather even colder. Nonetheless, Rose was looking forward to the Hogsmeade trip. Rose put on her black jeans with a grey long-sleeved shirt and a red woolen with Scorpius in the Entrance Hall, she hugged him, breathing in his intoxicating scent. He was wearing denim jeans with a grey shirt and a black leather , none of her close friends had decided to go. Rose assumed they must've sensed Rose wanted to be alone with Scorpius without them always hanging around."Ready to go?" he asked, smiling at her."Yep!" Rose said, excited for the day held hands all the way to Hogsmeade, walking slightly behind the rest of the group to avoid the staring eyes.
Once at Hogsmeade they headed straight for The Three Broomsticks. Entering the toasty warm room, they sat next to each other at one of the tables near the crackling fire. As usual, the pub was crowded and the air slightly smoggy. The landlady bustled around, carrying several drinks at a time. Rose and Scorpius ordered a warm, frothing Butterbeer each, sipping them as they talked. Once their Butterbeers were finished, they paid and left. Walking hand-in-hand, they headed towards the outskirts of the town.
"Rose." Scorpius said, stopping and turning to face her. She could see the look of worry in his face. "I know we talked about it and you said you were fine, but ever since the Dementor attack I can't help but worry about you."
"Scorpius I know you're worried but..." she went to say but Scorpius politely cut her off.
"Please just let me explain. I know I'm worrying for nothing but I still worry. I just couldn't stand it if something happened to you." he said, looking into her eyes and holding her looked up at him, staring into his ashen grey eyes. His nose and cheeks were red from the cold and his hair was just falling into his eyes. His arms around her waist felt strong and protective: nothing could hurt her or make her sad when she was with him. He was stood on tiptoe, bringing her lips closer to his. He moved closer to her, lowering his head. Rose felt exhilarated, never had she felt like this before. The butterflies in her stomach were rioting and her hands were almost trembling. Their lips brushed against each other. Rose took a deep breath through her nose, breathing in his scent. She deepened the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. Scorpius kissed her back, leaning down more so she didn't have to stretch as much. The feel of his lips on hers was incredible, it was such a new feeling for Rose. They were locked in their embrace for several moments, until finally Rose broke away. She looked up at Scorpius, who stared back at her. He brushed one of her red curls out of her face. She reached up and kissed him again. Her emotions were like fireworks, making her feel as light as a helium balloon. This was so perfect, she never wanted this moment to end. Scorpius finally broke away. She smiled, hugging Scorpius tightly, resting her head on his muscled chest.
Eventually, they broke apart from their embrace and walked back to the main street in comfortable silence, both of them thinking about what had just happened. Together, holding hands the whole time, they stopped at Honeydukes, talking as they each filled a bag with an assortment of delicious sweets. They also stopped at Zonko's, looking at the various items but not actually buying anything. Whilst eating their sweets, they talked and talked, letting the conversation steer itself from one topic to another. At one point, someone set off a Dungbomb in the store, causing everyone to make a hasty exit from the foul-smelling shop. After that, they simply walked the streets, peering into the windows of shops, looking at the range of magical items on display, voicing their opinion about the things they saw.
Rose was so blissfully happy with Scorpius. The kiss had been so perfect and Scorpius was a better guy than she could ever have imagined.
All too soon, they had to return to Hogwarts. Scorpius and Rose parted ways at the Entrance Hall. Even though Rose was going to see him the next day in Potions, it wasn't the same as having one-on-one time with him. She walked back to the common room, replaying in her mind the kiss with Scorpius.
