Description
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><Share with me the blankets that you’re wrapped in
Because it’s cold outside, it’s cold outside
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
She nuzzled into his warmth like a mole burrows into the dirt. She never wanted to let him go, although there would be hell to pay if her father ever found out about them. She just had to make sure he never did, then, wouldn’t she? The chilly air of the top of the Astronomy Tower didn’t bother her, wrapped as she was close to him in his cloak. Or so she thought, when she shivered slightly.
“Maybe we should go inside,” he suggested softly, his voice alone sending tingles up and down her spine. “We’ll sneak down to the kitchens, the house elves won’t mind.”
“Okay,” she agreed, snuggling closer for a moment before sighing softly and letting herself be tugged along by the hand.
With him leading the way, they’d never get caught wondering the school at night. He was an expert at sneaking about the school at night. So they made their way silently to the kitchens, the only sounds the slight scuffing of their sneakers and the swish of his warm cloak. They were casually dressed, in muggle attire. It didn’t matter to either one that they were still in the castle, just that they were comfortable and able to talk.
“I…what aren’t you telling me?” She asked softly, suddenly, as soon as they’d settled in a little corner of the kitchens. “You’re hiding something, aren’t you?”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Share with me the secrets that you’ve kept in
Because it’s cold inside, cold inside
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Sorry…I guess I am.” he said, ruffling his platinum blonde hair absentmindedly.
“And?”
“Well, you see…” his hands were shaking slightly.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
And your slow shaking fingertips show
That you’re scared like me, so
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“What do I see?” she teased slightly, looking at him.
“I…I’m tired, we’ll talk about this tomorrow, okay?”
And he left without waiting for a reply.
She didn’t see him until he stopped her in the Entrance Hall the next day at lunch.
“Hey, sorry about not answering your question…” he said, trailing slightly, his slate grey eyes gazing into her blue ones. “It’s just…I wanted to wait until today.”
“Why?” she asked, curiosity aroused despite her previous anger.
“Don’t be mad,” he whispered, and he hugged her in the middle of a crowd of gaping students.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Let’s pretend we’re alone
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“What are you doing?!” She whispered back, but she didn’t back away.
“I don’t want to hide anything from you, but I don’t want to keep secrets from everyone else, either.” He replied. “And besides, this is just like it is when we’re alone. Why do we have to hide a friendship from everyone?”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
And I know you may be scared
And I know we’re unprepared
But I don’t care
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
She nodded, grinning.
“I know what you’re getting at,” she said, letting herself hug him back. “I don’t like to hide it, either.”
“I know.”
“Here, take my cloak. You’re shivering like crazy,” he laughed, taking his only form of warmth from his shoulders and putting it about her shoulders.
“Are you crazy? You need it! It’s like, 20 below!”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Tell me, tell me, what makes you think that you are invincible?
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
And he just gives her a smile and hugs her to his side. “I’m not nearly as susceptible to the cold as you are, trust me.”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
I can see it in your eyes that you’re so sure
Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one that’s vulnerable
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“I told you you’d need it! Here you go, sneezing and lying in the hospital wing because you’ve caught cold!” she scolded, sweeping in and sitting by him despite the nurse’s protests.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Impossible
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
She came back the next day during lunch and he was fast asleep, his nose red from blowing, which was out of place on his normally pale features. And she knew, she’d known all along but it struck her fully in that moment…she loved him, but she couldn’t tell him…
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
I was born to tell you I love you
Isn’t that a song already?
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“What?! You’ve been in the hospital wing with him all day?!” her cousin cried. He was the Gryffindor through and through…hated all Slytherins. And her friend wasn’t even in Slytherin, he was a Ravenclaw just like she was. And they were friends, why couldn’t anyone understand? Other than Albus and Lily, that is.
“It’s none of your business, James.”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
I get a B in originality
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Geez, I’m finally out!” He laughed, twirling her in a circle. She laughed, but she could only think that life was much happier with him a-okay and standing right beside her.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
And it’s true I can’t go on without you
Your smile makes me see clearer
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
A few days later she was listening to him talk by the lake, and looked up just as he flashed a smile. She saw only his face with perfect clarity, and everything around him blurred. She knew she was staring, with a dazed expression.
“What? Are you okay?”
“Wha---oh, yeah. Sorry.”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
If you could only see in the mirror
What I see
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Are you sure?” he reached over to brush a strand of her red hair from her eyes, and smiled again. It was then she realized that his fingers were slightly shaky.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
And your slow shaking fingertips show
That you’re scared like me so
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Yeah, yeah. I’m sure,” she smiled back, pondering his sudden shakiness. He was always the confident one of the two. “But you’re not, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Just a little hungry.” he brushed her concern off, laughing.
“Then let’s go eat,” she sighed, pulling him up.
It was in the Entrance Hall yet again when he stopped her. “Hey…”
“Yeah?”
“Promise not to be mad with me?” he asked timidly.
“Oh, we’re playing this game again?” She laughed, then added, “Oh, alright, I promise.”
“Thanks.”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Let’s pretend we’re alone
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
And he bent the few inches in height difference to touch his lips to hers. It took her by surprise, but she could do nothing other than kiss him back. The fireworks were overwhelming, and when he pulled away, she pulled him right back.
The good thing was it was dinner, and no one was in the Entrance Hall.
The bad thing was that they were standing in plain view of the Great Hall, where the Ravenclaws began cheering wildly at what they had seen coming for years.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
And I know you may be scared
And I know we’re unprepared
But I don’t care
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Go out with me?” he asked softly.
“Do you even need to ask?” she quipped playfully, bringing her lips to his quickly.
“I guess not,” he grinned.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Tell me, tell me, what makes you think that you are invincible?
I can see it in your eyes that you’re so sure
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Aren’t you worried about what my Dad will do?” She asked him softly, for it was the one worry she harbored in her heart.
He laughed softly.
“Well?”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one that’s vulnerable
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< “Of course I am,” he grinned at her, “but you’ll protect me, right?”
She laughed in relief.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Impossible
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Dad, don’t you dare!” she cried as her father raised his wand at the figure in the doorway. Rose saw who it was under his arm and ran to him. “Are you going to jinx him just for coming over to meet you?”
“Why would a Malfoy be here to meet us?!” Ronald Weasley hissed at his daughter.
“Because he’s my boyfriend, Dad!” Rose Weasley hissed back, clutching Scorpius Malfoy’s arm.
“WHAT?!”
“He’s my boyfriend, and if you’re going to treat him like that, we’ll just go on our date before you even meet him---civilly, not with your wand in his face.” Rose turned to walk away.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Slow down girl, you’re not going anywhere
Just wait around and see
Maybe I’m much more
You never know what lies ahead
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“What---wait! Erm…Scorpius, right? I’m Ron Weasley, Rose’s father…it’s…um…very nice to meet you.”
Rose turned with satisfaction as her father caught up and held out his hand, his wand stowed in his pocket. She knew he was just trying for his little girl, but she was happy nonetheless.
“It’s nice to meet you too, sir. I’m Scorpius Malfoy.”
They shook hands and Rose smiled, figuring it would be better for the both of them to loosen up.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
I promise I can be
Anyone, I can be anything
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Your grandfather…doesn’t like it, does he?” She asked softly when Scorpius showed up, seeming slightly downcast.
“I never expected better, but everyone hopes…no. He didn’t like it at all.”
“So he won’t come?”
“He doesn’t want to be there when his only grandson ‘ruins the pureblood line.’ His words, not mine, I promise, Rosie.” He hugged her close.
“I know, I know.” She patted his back. “It’s okay, you can let it out…”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Just because you were hurt doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bleed
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Thanks,” he straightened, his eyes slightly red, but not very. He didn’t cry much, but he had always wanted his grandfather to turn out differently. To accept him in some way, even though all that he believed in was entirely different than what Scorpius believed.
“It’s perfectly fine,” she said, “I’ll be here. I’ll always be here.”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
I can be anyone, anything
I promise I can be what you need
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“I do,” he said confidently, staring straight into her eyes, undaunted.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Tell me, tell me, what makes you think that you are invincible?
I can see it in your eyes that you’re so sure
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
She smiled as he put his lips to hers---it was always up to him to be the confident one.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one that’s vulnerable
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“You handled yourself so well at the altar,” she said to him softly as they danced at their reception. “You weren’t nervous at all, were you?”
“On the contrary,” he whispered back, “I was absolutely terrified.”
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Impossible.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

O_O I never realised how much RosexScorpius stuff there is.... Bertie Giblert, the actor... has his own Youtube channel, he's really famous now.... ._.
Personally I love Albus to death ♥♥♥ But I never see and fan fiction D:
This is good. But I just personally like the pairing, although it seems popular. I've always wondered what house Albus might be in.... never really discussed though...
Good job with this.... ^-^;

I love the ending. I didn't realize that time traveled so quickly between some diamond breaks, so I got confused for less than a second. Haha! This is cute. I liked the song, but I wouldn't like it if this story lasted any longer. Just sayin'. But it was great, I loved it. And I bet you'll get Secondhand Serenade more popularity haha! I didn't realize you could scroll it to the side until the end, after I took an extra few minutes on each line to figure out the words hehe (I'm silly). I love Rose and Scorpius and I can't tell you enough how great this was. Whoo!

Wow! This was an old story so I didn't expect someone to COMMENT! Hehe, fave, maybe, but comment?
Thank you so much for reading, and I'm glad you liked it. Sorry for the confusion, hehe...but I love Rose/Scorp and Secondhand Serenade, and I thought that this was the perfect combination of the two. Sorry it's not longer, but I just couldn't bring myself to write more...
Thanks again!
