Chapter 16- The End

Scorpius and Rose walked out of the Great Hall together. After lots of dancing they noticed that Katelynn and Albus hadn't returned yet. Wondering where they were, Rose and Scorp decided to go and look for them.

"Hopefully we won't be interrupting anything," Rose said and laughed.

"What do you mean? What would we be interrupting?" asked Scorp, confused.

"Oh c'mon, you haven't noticed? Katelynn and Al like each other!"

Scorp looked over at her, shocked. "Oh... well I never noticed... weird..."

Rose laughed again. "Not noticing is so you. Oh I hope they have confessed already... if they start dating then we can go on double dates!"

"Yeah. That would be fun," said Scorpius.

"Maybe they went to bed already, I can't see them anywhere."

"I can't see them anywhere either. I think you're right. They probably went to bed, it is pretty late."

Rose yawned. "Well I'm pretty tired myself."

"Shall I escort you to your dorm?" asked Scorp holding out his arm for her to hold. He smirked.

"Why, that would be lovely," she said with a big smile as she took his arm. She giggled. Scorp led her up to the girls' dorm in the Gryffindor tower. They stood awkwardly for a moment in front of the girls' dorm.

"Well, goodnight," said Scorpius finally.

"Yeah, goodnight," said Rose with a small smile. They stood for another moment then Rose turned to go up the stairs. Scorpius reached over and grabbed her arm. Turning her to face him, he wrapped his arms around her. She put her arms around him too. They stood like that for a while enjoying each other's warmth. Rose loved Scorpius's minty smell and didn't ever want to let go of him. But when a couple of giggling first years noisily walked into the common room they had to pull away. Rose could feel her face going bright red. When she looked up at Scorpius, she saw that his face was red as well. Embarrassed, Scorp turned around and ran up to the boys' dorm. Rose stood for a moment watching him leave with a small smile on her face. She thought of how cute Scorp was looking all embarrassed and her amazing evening. Just thinking of Scorpius made her all happy inside. Slowly, she went up to the girls' dorm and looked around for Katelynn but she wasn't there. Disappointed that she couldn't tell Katelynn all about her and Scorp right at that moment, she decided to stay up and wait for her. But right when her head touched her pillow she fell asleep. She was so tired.

"Al..." Katelynn reached for Albus. His back was to her and he was staring at the door Thea had just exited. "Are you feeling bad?"

Al finally turned around and gave her a small smile, "Kind of... do you think I was too mean?"

"No, you shouldn't feel bad. She... overreacted," said Katelynn. She put her hand on his cheek. He leaned his face on her hand and covered it with his own hand.

He pressed his lips together. "I'm sorry I brought you into this mess..."

Katelynn gently removed her hand from his and put a finger on his lips. "Don't say another word. There is no need to apologize."

Al smiled. He put his arms around her and buried his face in her soft hair. "I'm glad that's over... Katelynn..." They stood hugging each other for a moment while Al breathed in the scent of her hair. It smelled like raspberries.

"It's getting late... we should go up to the dorms," said Katelynn.

"Yeah, you're right."

Together, hand in hand, they walked up the many floors up to the Gryffindor dorms. After one last hug, Katelynn went up to the girls' dorm and Al went up to the boys' dorm. Katelynn was excited to tell Rose her good news but Rose was already in bed and Katelynn didn't want to wake her. So she got out of her beautiful dress and went to bed. She was excited for the next morning when she would tell Rose all about her and Albus.

Finally the dance was over.

"Katelynn! Katelynn! Wake up!"

Katelynn let out a moan and waved her arms around. She kept her eyes shut firmly. "Ammmmssyeep..." she mumbled.

"Ow! Katelynn! Stop hitting me!" Rose laughed as she dodged Katelynn's arms. She was still trying to get Rose off her bed. Rose was sitting on the edge of Katelynn's bed. It was seven o'clock and she couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to tell Katelynn all about late night. She was so excited she woke up early to tell her.

Katelynn rolled over so her back was to Rose. "Go away..."

"C'mon Katelynn! Wake up!"

Finally Katelynn sat up. She let out a sigh. "What time is it?"

"Um... seven..."

Katelynn groaned and plopped back down on her pillow.

"Katelynn! Don't fall asleep again! I want to tell you all about last night! By the way, where were you and Al? Scorp and I looked everywhere for you guys but we couldn't find you anywhere!"

"I'm not falling asleep again," Katelynn muttered. Slowly, she started to remember the events of last night. "Rose!" Katelynn got up quickly and wrapped her arms around her best friend, grinning. "Oh, last night!" She told her all about her trying to confess to Al, him running away with Rose, finally being able to tell him her feelings, his mutual feelings and Thea. After listening to Katelynn, Rose told her all about her and Scorp. Happily, they quickly changed and ran downstairs to the common room.

In the common room, they found Albus and Scorpius waiting for them. When they looked up at Katelynn and Rose they gave them a big smile.

"Good morning," said Al shyly to Katelynn.

"Good morning," said Scorp, pulling Rose into a big hug. Rose looked nervously at her cousin. Al smiled at her and she relaxed. "I already told him about us," Scorp whispered in her ear, "He doesn't mind that his little cousin is going out with his best mate."

"I'm only a couple of months younger!" said Rose huffily.

Scorp laughed. "C'mon, let's go have breakfast. I'm starving!" He turned around and started toward the portrait hole. Rose giggled and walked quickly to catch up to him. She grabbed his arm and leaned on it. Together, they left leaving Al and Katelynn alone.

"Um... Al," said Katelynn."

"Yeah?"

"What should we do about Thea?"

Al looked away. "Nothing, just ignore her. Plus, what can she do to us?"

"Yeah you're right..."

"Don't worry; I'll always be with you."

Katelynn nodded. Smiling, Al took her hand and they both exited the portrait hole together to find that Rose and Scorp had waited for them. Together, they happily went to have breakfast.
