Past, Present & Future

The End

Scorpius didn't answer his friend instead he ran full pelt to place where he had left Rosie mere moments ago. She was there, drying her eyes on the corner of her dress and removing the remnants of mascara from underneath her eyes.

"Rosie?" She looked up at the sound of her name.

"What? Did you have something you'd like to add?"

"Stand up."

"Don't tell me what to do?"

"Why is everything so difficult with you?" Scorpius stomped his foot.

"Did you just stomp your foot at me? Are you about to have a paddy?"

"Im trying to tell you something but you need to be standing up." He clenched his jaw.

"Alright, alright. Calm down." She rose unsteadily to her feet, "What do you want?"

Scorpius took a deep breath. "I've been a-"

"Twat?"

"I was going to say fool but I suppose twat is reasonable. The thing is, I thought you needed a nice bloke, and I'm not a nice bloke but a nice bloke is not necessary the right bloke. And I know its taken me a really long to get here but you are it for me. The only one I ever want."

There was silence.

"Can you say something?"

"Wow."

"What?" This was not what he was expecting.

"Just wow. I actually never thought we'd get here." She pointed to situation between the two of them.

"You drive me nuts Weasley!" He instinctively lent in, pushing her towards the wall and Rosie responded with such enthusiasm, wrapping her arms around his neck and lifting herself off the ground and into his arms. She cradled his head planting kisses down the side of his head.

"What will my parents think, eh?" Rosie smiled into his neck, "Cavorting with a Malfoy."

"I think we'll be fine. Your dads passed out and your mum thinks you've been knocked up. They'll be begging me to take you on."

They stood together by the wall of the Potters garden for what felt like hours and as the sun began to rise hand in hand they walked back towards the house. Lips swollen from kissing like teenagers and the biggest grins plastered to their faces. They stopped at the doorway, a single candle was still lit in the Potters kitchen, Harry and Ginny were having a cup of tea before bed, arms slumped around each other, heads together, Ginnys eyes were drooping. Harry planted a singular kiss on her forehead.

"So," Said Scorpius turning to Rosie smiling. "What now?"

Rosie said nothing just tightened her grip on the hand in hers and pushed the door open.
