The bathroom door opened, and Scorpius looked up. Albus stops with one hand on the doorknob, looking pale. His hair was wet from washing, and and neatly combed, his jaw reddened from shaving. Instead of he usual shapeless school robes, he wore a set of dark tailored robes. The color brought out the green of his eyes.

Hopping off he bed, Scorpius grinned. "Wow. You didn't have to go to all this trouble for me."

"I wanted to", said Albus, ears reddening. I mean, It's our first proper date. I thought I should make an effort."
"Now I feel like a slob," Albus teased. "You won't want to be seen with me."
"You always look great," Scorpius told him, blush spreading to his cheeks.
Albus chuckled self-consciously, ruffling his cloud of black hair. "Shall we go down?"
As they left the Slytherin dormitory and climbed up out of the dungeons, Albus watched Scorpius out of the corner of his eye. His boyfriend looked nervous. This would not just be their first date; it would be their first time going out in public together as a couple since getting together.
