Alrighty, I do believe it's time for a new post



“Date night? Who goes on date nights?” James asked with a scowl as Ruthie finished strapping on her shoes. She was wearing a green grass colored sweater dress that hung to her hips vivaciously. She had been dating Scorpius for three months now, and everything was going smoothly.

“I do,” she said in hurt tone. James rolled his eyes and she threw a pillow at him. He caught it before it could do any damage to his already ruffled hair.

“Where are y’all going?” he asked in mock curiosity and excitement.

“Oh shut it, James. Just because you don’t have a girlfriend doesn’t mean you have to diss me when I have a date.” Ruthie put her hands on her hips. Some of her hair fell around her thin head band. James scowled at her sourly and she made a face at him.

“Don’t worry, James… I have no plans so we could always hang out,” Leslie piped in. Ruthie suppressed a giggle and turned around so they couldn’t see her grinning.

James flushed red, nodding slightly. Ruthie moved toward the Portrait Hole as Leslie wished her good luck. She walked through hole and found Scorpius leaning up against the wall on the other side of the hall. Her small smile turned into a wide one as he smiled his radiant smile at the sight of her.

“Hi,” he said as he held out his arms for her. She walked up to him as quickly as she could without looking too eager.

“Hi,” she whispered as his arms encircled around her. She reached up on her tiptoes and his lips met hers. Even though they were no longer new at kissing, it was still something that made both of them fill up with butterflies. Their touch sent electric shots through each other’s veins and their burning desire never faded in the slightest. Ruthie pulled back from the kiss with an amusing smile playing on her lips.

“Hi,” she repeated with a chuckle. He grinned at her before kissing her forehead.

“C’mon, I have a surprise for you,” he chuckled, taking her hand. Ruthie laced her fingers through his as he led them down a hall. Instead of going down the staircase, they passed by it, heading to the North Tower.

“Why are we going up there?” Ruthie asked curiously.

“I told you… It’s a surprise. As in I’m not going to tell you,” he laughed.

Before they stepped through the door that would lead to the outside, Scorpius untangled his hand from hers and took a step back. His hands immediately went to cover her eyes, ignoring her protests.

“Okay, carefully, don’t trip over the threshold,” Scorpius said quietly, trying to not chuckle.

“Are you making fun of me being clumsy?” she asked in irritation.

“Maybe,” he laughed. Ruthie tried to nudge him in the gut with her elbow, but he dodged it, laughing even more now.

“Okay, only a little farther. Stop here!” Scorpius exclaimed. Ruthie couldn’t help but think about how cute he sounded when he was excited. “Are you ready?” he whispered into her ear, causing her to shiver.

“Mmmhmm,” Ruthie sighed. Scorpius slipped his hands down her cheeks and wound them around her waist. She hesitantly opened her eyes and then gasped.

“Scorp, you-you d-did all this?” she stuttered finally. He smiled against her hair as she turned around to face him. He nodded silently and she kissed him full on the lips.

There was a pile of pillows and blankets on the ground with a picnic basket full of delicious treats and a couple bottles of Butterbeer. A telescope was set up against the balcony and there was a radio set right near the blankets.

Chuckling, Scorpius towed her over to the balcony where the telescope was. She leaned over to take a look at all of the stars. The first one that came into view was the one she made a silent wish to.

Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight… I wish…for nothing because I have everything I already want, Ruthie thought silently just as a shooting star flew through the night sky. She turned around to find Scorpius watching her, a smile on his face.

“What did you wish for?” Scorpius smirked.

“Nothing,” she whispered.

“How come?” he asked in confusion.

“Because I have everything I want already.” Ruthie leaned back against the stone railing of the tower. “What do you wish for?” she whispered.

“You,” he replied simply.

Ruthie’s breath caught. “You already have me.”

“Good to know,” he whispered.

“This is the perfect date,” Ruthie whispered.

“The only kind for you,” he whispered as he walked forward and wrapped his arms around her. She smiled widely as he reached for his wand and pointed it at a small radio. A slow song filled the air and they started dancing in circles. Ruthie rested her head on his shoulder as his arms tightened around her waist.

“I love you,” she whispered into his neck. She kissed his silky skin as he sighed.

“I love you, too,” he whispered back.


What do you think? I know it's a bit sappy, but...
