Thank you, Maggie! And thank you for such an inspiring prompt. I hope it's okay with you that his story is low on actual romance, it just kind of came out this way. Of course I'm happy you found Harry in character. That was a really challenge for me and I had to change the story to Scorpius's POV, because writing from Harry's was too upsetting.
A friend pointed out to me that she thinks Harry should have told Ginny beforehand, and I actually think she's right. It would have made for a different and more awkward fic, though.
And yeah, Scorpius really has no idea how bad an idea it is to tell Rose. Or maybe there's a part of him that wants the secret to get out, maybe even wants his father to know, even if he can't consciously acknowledge that.
