Before anyone knew it, October blew over into November. For Scorpius and Rose, pretty much everything stayed the same. They both had Quidditch, Prefect stuff, and school work. Really, the only time that they had alone together without school work, was Hogsmeade trips. They did go on strolls occasionally, but with the weather changing, that got limited. Scorpius really wished that they had more time to just spend themselves. With no school work. They really needed a date. Sure, Hogsmeade was a good spot to go on dates, but, they could only go once a month, and, there were other students surrounding them. Not much privacy. But, one day, while Scorpius was sitting in Ancient Ruins, an idea popped into his head.

Instead of listening to the professor, Scorpius was thinking on how and him and Rose could have some sort of romantic moment together. Then, something came to him. But, it would take a lot to pull it off. Scorpius imagined a moment of him and Rose sitting at the top of the Astronomy Tower, stargazing into the night sky. Just her and him. It would be the perfect, romantic moment. Scorpius had to make it a reality.  He needed to do this.

After Ancient Ruins, Scorpius was done with classes for the day. During this time, he usually did his homework, while Rose went to Quidditch practice. And vice versa. When Scorpius went to his Quidditch practice after dinner, Rose worked on her school work. But, that's beside the point. The real point was, today, Scorpius decided not to do his homework during this time. He needed help with something.

"Hey, Al, I need your help with something." Scorpius said as he walked to the table that Albus was sitting at in the common room.

"Am I hearing this right? Are you asking me for help? Who are you and what have you done with Scorpius Malfoy? Usually I have to ask you for help." Albus asked sarcastically.

"Yes. I need your help with something." Scorpius responded, rolling his eyes.

"Just let me have my moment of glory. Anyways, what do you need help with mate?" Albus asked.

"Well, I just need to make sure that we don't get caught tonight. That would totally ruin the whole thing. I just need you to make sure that Filtch doesn't go to the Astronomy Tower tonight. I'll take care of the rest." Scorpius explained.

"I would normally ask why, but I assume this has something to do with Rose, my cousin, so I don't to know every detail." Albus said back. Scorpius let out a chuckle.

"Look, all I need from you is to make sure that we don't get caught. Can you do that?" Scorpius asked.

"Yes, I can see what I can do. I do have some Weasley in my blood." Albus responded.

"Thanks mate! I'll have to make it up for you later." Scorpius said with a smile on his face. He then almost bolted out of the Slytherin Common Room. This was really happening. With Filtch taken care of, his plan could be put into action. What was his plan you ask? Well, Scorpius was planning a romantic evening with Rose up at the Astronomy Tower. It would be the perfect evening. Scorpius would get a picnic basket, and fill it with all of Rose's favorite snacks. They would lay on the ground of the Astronomy Tower, stargazing, and just purely enjoying each other's company. This would be just amazing. Scorpius smiled to himself as his plan unfolded.

Scorpius then made his way to the kitchens. He tickled the painting of the pair, and was let in.

"Hello Master Scorpius. What can Winky do for you today?" Winky asked as Scorpius came into the kitchens. Over the years, Winky had excepted being a payed house elf at Hogwarts. Actually, she really enjoyed it. She loved doing tasks for the students.
