Before the students knew it, it was the last week of the school year. The last week was always the best because the students had more free time than they had all year. Since the weather was nice, most students adventured out onto the grounds to enjoy the new summer breeze. Scorpius and Rose did this. Everyday, they would go to their spot under a tree near the lake, and take off their shoes.

"Another year gone. It feels like yesterday we were nervous first years." Rose said as she sat down and took off her left sock.

"Yea, that's crazy." Scorpius said asa he plopped down next to her, and ran a hand through his soft, wavy, platinum blond hair, that looked nice because the sunshine was reflecting off of it. Rose just wanted to run her hands through it. Not just that, she wanted to just smack her lips on his. At this point, there was no point on saying she had a "crush" on him anymore. She was in love him.

Then, she did something. Rose moved closer to Scorpius. She moved herself between Scorpius's legs, and leaned close to his chest. She could hear his heart beat accelerate. This made her grin. Scorpius didn't say anything, he just let out a genuine Astoria smile.

"What, I was cold." Rose playfully said.

"You were cold? It's June and 75° out here." Scorpius playfully said back as he looked Rose in her ocean-blue eyes.

"Well, there's a breeze." Rose responded, trying to come up with a reasonable answer.

"Oh, I don't mind." Scorpius said as he continued to stare into her eyes.

"And there's something else. Your eyes. Their so blue. It's like I'm staring into the ocean." Scorpius continued, he had kept that thought in his head for years. He didn't realize he said that out loud for a second. Then, his pupils had multiplied in size as he realized he said this. Was this the right thing to say? Did he just screw up? Oh God! He screwed up!

But, Scorpius's thinking was wrong. Rose did not mind him saying this one bit. It was like music to her ears. She could feel her heart rate accelerate now.

"Well, if we're talking about eyes, then yours are like looking into silvery gemstones." Rose responded to Scorpius's comment. She couldn't help herself but respond with an equally great comment. She wasn't lying either. She loved looking into his silvery gemstone looking eyes. She loved everything about him. His hair. His eyes. His smile. His personality. Just everything. She then leaned closer to him.

Scorpius didn't know how to respond to this. He had loved her since he was 11 years old. She finally loved him back. Scorpius leaned closer to her, their four heads touching again. This was their chance. Was it finally going to happen! They were going to snogg! Well, the key word was going to. When their lips were just barely touching, they here'd a yell. They instantly jumped apart, thinking it was one of Rose's family members. They had been SO CLOSE AGAIN!!! They were surprised on who it was.

"OYE! Weasley!" Colton McClaggen yelled at Rose. Rose instantly groaned.

"What in the bloody hell do you want now! We finished rounds earlier!" Rose yelled back, annoyed.

"So, this is why you've been rejecting me, huh? For the Deatheater? Wow Weasley, I thought you could do better than that. You could of actually." McClaggen snarked back.

"What did you just call Scorpius?" Rose said shocked and angry.

"DEATH-EATER. His family are all Deatheaters. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be the next Dark Lord. His father should be locked up in Azkaban, and rot." McClaggen said disgusted.

"How dare you say that! Did you really think that I would go out with someone who calls people Deatheaters! Because you have got that wrong. So wrong. Why can't you take a hint! I don't like you! I never have! Especially not now! I can't believe you just called him that! For the record, Scorpius is NOT a Deatheater. And, you wish his father to rot in Azkaban! I can't believe you said that! How the hell are you a Prefect? You are the biggest prat I've ever seen!" Rose angrily yelled back. She was furious. She couldn't believe that someone would say that. She was so angry to the point she was shaking. She just couldn't wrap her head around that he called him the next Dark Lord.
