A/N: I don't own anything.

Wow guys. I'm practically tearing up. This story has only been posted for a day, and I already have dozens of followers, several favorites, and AMAZING reviews. You are the GREATEST people ever!

S's POV

Reasons I DON'T Miss Hogwarts

1. Everyone here stares at Rose and me.

2. The teachers hate me.

3. There's no bed for me and Rose to..."cuddle"...in.

4. Several kids give me evil glares every second.

5. There is magic making it impossible for anyone to spike the punch.

6. The music is horrible.

7. Every dances awkwardly. Very awkwardly.

8. The jerks haven't changed a bit.

"Scorpius Malfoy," a voice sneers. I stop making my mental list and look to see Ryan Rous. The meanest Slytherin that ever roomed the halls.

"Ryan," I respond. His posse stands behind him with rude smirks as ugly as ever. Speak of the jerks.

"Why are you even here?" he asks with a small laugh. "It's not like anyone misses you."

"If you don't miss me why are you talking to me?" I reply.

He is momentarily caught off guard. His friend covers for him, "You should be happy that the most popular guy in school is talking to you."

I laugh. "He is not the most popular guy in school because one: we are no longer in school, and two: no one likes you."

He snickers. "Everyone likes me."

"Whatever," I sigh turning to walk away.

"Especially Rose."

I freeze and turn at his mention of my girlfriend. "What?"

"I said, 'Especially Rose,'" he repeats with a smirk. "She likes me."

"No. She. Doesn't," I snap stepping closer.

"You're right. It's more than like."

My wand is out before I even have time to think. Within two seconds, Ryan is on the ground. Realizing I had hexed him, I ran out of the room. Sprinting out of the school, I nearly run over Rose, who is sitting on the steps.

"Rose?" I ask even though I know it's hear.

"H-hi Scorp," she mumbles wiping at her eyes.

I sit down next to her and put my arm around her shoulder. "Have you been crying?"

"N-no," she says although it's pretty obvious she has been.

"Baby," I pull her closer, "please tell me what's wrong."

"It's just...Why haven't you...Do you really love me?" she asks looking up at me.

My mouth falls open. "Of course I do! Why would you even ask that?"

"It's just...you haven't...it's complicated," she says with a huff.

I pull her closer and rub circles on her upper arm. "Baby. Talk to me, please."

"I don't want to," she says with a small cry. I wipe away her tear, and she smiles sadly up at me. "It feels like you don't love me."

"Why?" I question.

"You haven't proposed yet."

I sigh. I knew this was coming any day now. "It's complicated."

"You don't love me," she insists.

"No! It's not that. I swear. I love you more than anything. I would die for you. I want to get married, and we will. It's just really complicated."

"Please explain."

"Life had been insane lately. I don't have the time for planning and having a wedding right now," I tell her as I think about my life.

"Shannon was right," she mumbles to herself.

"Hm?" I stare into the darkness. All traces of sadness leaves her face, and she begins to glow with a radiant smile.

"Nothing," she whispers. "I love you too."

We walk back into the Great Hall after spending about an hour on the steps. We just sat and thought. Each of us lost in our own worries and questions until a loud bang from the Hall startled us back into reality.

Everyone is standing silently as they stare up at Professor McGonagall, who is still Headmistress.

"Good evening," she greets with her heart-warming smile. "I hope you have all been enjoying yourselves. Now can the Head Boy and Girl come to the stage?"

Albus and Alice smile and walk up to McGonagall. They both give speeches about how Hogwarts brought people together and made unbreakable bonds. I look down at Rose as she gets slightly teary eyed. Hogwarts was her home. It was her everything, her reason for walking up every day.

For me, it was nothing more than an escape. A way to get out of the house. A way to avoid my father, my abusive father.

Rose looks up at me and smiles as Albus and Alice talk about relationships that have lasted. I smile down at her, and her face turns back towards the stage. I think about how she was crying just an hour ago. It's time for us to get married. I just need to ask for my parents blessing. I don't want to get married without their approval (A/N: Thank you to musicprincess1990 who gave me this idea).

Albus and Alice leave the stage, and McGonagall smiles. "It's awards time!" she exclaims. Everyone begins to holler and cheer.

"These awards were given out at the end of Seventh Year. When you are called, please come up to the stage," she explains. "Best Prankster: Ian Howler." Ian smiles as everyone looks at him and cheers. He gives Lucy a quick peek and walks up the stage.

"Best smile: Jordan Goyle." Jordan smiles her amazing smile and walks up the stage. "Best hugger: Shannon Parker." Shannon smiles and walks up to join Jordan.

We go through the rest: best laugh, funniest kid, best singer, best personality, most gullible, most annoying but loved anyway, biggest ego, biggest party animal, biggest gossip, nicest person, and biggest flirt.

"Best couple: Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy." I smile as Rose just looks surprised.

"Rose," I whisper, "how do you not remember that we won best couple?"

We walk up to the stage as everyone stares. "I remember," she whispers back. "It's just I still don't believe that these people vote for us." Everyone claps as she whispers seductively, "I remember the night after we won much better though."

"Most hardworking: Rose Weasley." She smiles at everyone. "Worst attendance and most detentions: Scorpius Malfoy." I smile.

How is that the most hardworking ended up with me, the one with the worst attendance and most detentions?

I look at Rose as I hold her hand. Whatever made it possible, I am grateful for it every day.

I'm really pleased with this, and all my fans.

PLEASE review.

I love you all. I'll update soon, promise.
