To Live Again

"Care to dance?"

Rose looked up from her drink, surprised to see the grey eyes she had almost forgotten staring back at her. The eyes were accompanied by a broad grin and a hand out in front.

"Scorpius!" she exclaimed, sitting straighter.

The young man beamed, causing her to notice how handsome he had become in the past years. "It's been a long time, Rosie," he said.

"Even longer since somebody has called me that."

He winked at her. "May I have this dance?" He indicated to the dancefloor where a few couples were moving in time to the music.

It really had been a long time since she had seen Scorpius, despite the two of them working at the Ministry. So much history had disallowed for even the thought of friendship. But that was in the past. They were older now, and much more mature. What was the harm in starting over?

Nothing, she reasoned.

Returning his smile, she nodded. "I'd love to." She accepted his offered hand and he led her onto the dancefloor, both hoping that this moment would bring a fresh start. For both of them.
