"What are you doing here?" Scorpius Malfoy asked me. I was currently sitting on a log beside the lake, pondering on why, in Merlin's beard, would Stephano Zabini break up with me.

I sighed deeply and said. "I was just, thinking." I sat up straight, but easily gave up on the etiquette. Scorpius sat beside me, making me inhale his minty scent.

"About Stephano?" He said, after at least ten minutes of silence. I gave him a narrow look.

"I'm sorry?" I replied, completely lost on what he said.

"You said you were thinking. Are you thinking about Stephano?" He looked at me with those gray eyes he inherited from his father. I really don't know what's gotten into his mind when he asked me that. I looked at him then looked back at the lake. The afternoon's breeze past by us. I inhaled and then exhaled before answering a barely audible yes.

"I'm sorry about what he did." He said, his voice full with sincerity.

"I'm not." I replied hastily.

"Why?"

"I guess I expected that somehow, somewhere, it's going to happen." I managed a half-smile at him. He didn't return the smile, though.

"I like you, you know." He confided, though I honestly don't know if he's telling the truth because he isn't even looking at me.

"What?"

"I like you, Rose." He repeated. Now looking at me. His eyes locked with mine. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't. So instead of walking away, I continued asking him questions.

"Since when?" I whispered.

"Since I met you." I can't believe he's telling me this. Since we met? That was seven years ago! How could he not tell me this?

"Why?" I asked, a little audible this time.

"Because I just do." His voice was a little shaky.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I whispered once again.

"Why should I? We're close. And you're happy with someone else. Why would I want to break that?" His voice was exasperated. I could tell he doesn't really want to bring this up.

"I'm sorry." I said, still whispering.

He smiled at me. "It's alright. It's not your fault. I initially didn't want to tell you this. It's a bad timing, I know. I shouldn't have told you. You're thinking a lot of things right now. Merlin how could I be so-" I cut him off by kissing him full on the lips.

"You talk too much." I told him after breaking off the kiss.

"What did you just do?" He asked me, still completely surprised by what I did.

"I kissed you."

"Why?"

"To shut you up." He raised an eyebrow at me. "Okay. It's because," I started slowly. "Ilikeyoutoo."

"What? I didn't catch that."

I brought my lips near his ear. "I. Like. You. Too." I whispered softly and slowly.

He smirked and then slowly bent down for another kiss.
