I love the line: "Rose, I don't love you because I need you. I need you because I love you."

I also loved Rose's reply: You can't -- I'm naggy, I'm needy.

Wonderful story... enjoyed it tremendously!

I admit I struggled to understand why Scorpius was such a slob and why Rose insisted on taking care of him...but the ending makes it all so clear.

"Rose, I don't love you because I need you. I need you because I love you."
Scorpius had to leave all those messes to show her how much he needed her because he couldn't tell her he loved her. Awww :)

I really loved all the Weasleys being there, and I loved Ron especially.

Thanks so much!

I know I am already third in line to say this but "Rose, I don't love you because I need you. I need you because I love you." is so romantic. I really liked the idea of nerd Scorpius. Falling asleep on Rose while walking up the stairs is quite funny. You did a wonderful job there, oh mysterious author!

I love the geeky eccentric Scorpius! Poor guy though, having to endure all of Rose's boyfriends! I really love the end of the story. It made me grin from ear to ear! :)
