It had been a few weeks since Scorpius and Rose's last date. It was now mid July, and summer was already halfway over. Scorpius and Rose wrote to each other every day, and couldn't wait to see each other again. But, an opportunity like that was coming up. The last time the whole Weasley-Potter family got together for dinner at The Burrow, James announced that he got tickets for everyone to come to the next home Quidditch match. He even made a point of telling Rose he got one for Scorpius. This made Rose beam the rest of the night.

Immediately, when Rose got home, she sprinted up to her room to write a letter to Scorpius.

Scorpius,

Okay, so, today James told us all that he got tickets to come watch the next Puddermore home Quidditch match, which is this weekend. He even said he got a ticket for you, and I would love if you would come with us this Saturday. I can't wait to see you then. Love you.

Love,
Rose

Rose decided to keep the letter short and sweet. There was no point in writing a long, essay type letter, because she could already guarantee Scorpius's answer or response. So, she quickly wrote this, sealed it in an envelope, and sent it off with Pig. She just smiled to herself when she saw Pig fly off towards Scorpius's house, and decided to go upstairs, sit in a comfy spot on her bed, and crack open a good book, while waiting for Scorpius's response.

About a half hour later, Pig flew into her open bedroom window, with another envelope clutched in his beak.

"Nice work Pig." Rose said to the owl, ruffling his feathers, and taking the envelope from him. She right away ripped it open, and read Scorpius's response.

Rose,

At this point, I don't even think I have to write back. I think you already know my response. Of course I'll go with you guys! I'll Apparate over to your house on Saturday morning. Can't wait to see you then! I love you!

Love,
Scorpius

Scorpius's letters always made Rose smile. She knew what his response was going to be, before even opening the envelope. All of a sudden, she couldn't wait for Saturday.

Scorpius woke up kind of early on the following Saturday in mid July. Today, he was going to meet Rose, and them, and Rose's family, were going to go to James's Quidditch match. It had been a minute since Scorpius last attended a professional Quidditch match. Not only was he exited to go to the match, but he was even more excited to see Rose. He had seen her not to long ago, but, every moment his eyes got to lay on her, it made Scorpius's heart beat a million times a second.

So, Scorpius spilled out of bed, took a shower, and put on some clothes. He threw on a pair of shorts, and dug into the back of his closet to find a worn out Puddermore United shirt. Again, he believed that this shirt didn't belong to him, considering he supported The Chudley Cannons, so it was most likely it either belonged to Albus or one of his roommates. Anyways, he slid this on, and a pair of shoes, and headed downstairs to eat something before he left.

On Saturday morning, Rose woke up to the sound of her mum's voice.

"Wake up Rosie, Scorpius should be hear in a little bit." Hermione said, knowing what would trigger her daughter awake.

Hermione's attempt was successful. When Rose heard the word Scorpius, she bolted awake. Hermione laughed at her when she did this, and then exited the room. Rose even laughed a little at herself, and sprang out of bed. She first took a faster shower than usual, and got dressed and did her hair. Rose took out a pair of short denim shorts, a Puddermore United shirt, and you guessed it, her white high top converse. She couldn't help it, they just went with everything. Once she had her outfit on, she tucked her hair into a low ponytail, and accessorized  it with a bandana print headband. Last but not least, she slid on her Scorpius constellation bracelet to set the outfit off. She stole one last glance at herself in the mirror, and then headed downstairs to grab a bite to eat before they had to make their Portkey.
