Year Four
When Scorpius found Rose she was crying. Her grandfather, Arthur Weasley, had died the night before. He found her in the classroom that had become their meeting place. She saw him walk through the door and continued to cry. He pulled her close and they sat there for a while in silence.
Finally, when Rose had calmed down slightly she hugged him and they sat there talking about their grandfathers. Rose told of Arthur's obsession with all things Muggle. They laughed about the flying car escapades – Ron had told her about them as he was there after all – and told of his dancing at parties. Scorpius told her that the war had changed Lucius. He was a quiet, conserved person and he had been bitten by a poisonous snake – rather ironic – a few years ago and hadn't survived.
After three more hours, Rose made to leave but before she did Scorpius grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. Their lips met and Rose temporarily forgot about her pain. Scorpius' mind turned to imaginary mush. When they separated, Rose made for the door but Scorpius pressed a kiss to her forehead and said, 'It will be alright Rose. Don't forget I will always be here for you.'
And with that they both went their separate ways, Scorpius back to his dormitory and Rose back to her family.
