It has been 3 years since she had been here. The party was in full swing, The Burrow full of familiar faces and that homey warm feeling that seemed to course through her every time. She was home. This is where you belong Rosie, she whispered to herself.
Rose Weasley finally got to take a sip of her drink, as everybody seemed to get over the shock that she was home. Jeez, Daughter of The Golden Trio finally home, youd think right about now it would be getting old. Her mind screamed. She loved being a Weasley, sometimes though the attention is just way too much for her to handle.
She stared at the room again, taking in the scene before her, her parents were huddled to one side Hermione Granger-Weasley tucked safely in Ron's arms while she's holding the newest addition to the ever-growing Weasley bunch, Rem Lupin, Victoire's newborn son. James and Lily were bickering by the fire, Hugo laughing as Louis set accidentally set fire to the curtain, which he immediately extinguished before Gramma kills them. She supposes Dominique was off somewhere snogging her latest conquest and she saw Roxanne by the garden earlier. She has yet to see Fred, Molly and Lucy.
"Albus!! Al! Albus!!" she shouted as he saw her favorite person in the world appear. "Rosie, is that you? Is this real? Are you sure I'm not dreaming? Could it be the ever-famous Rose Weasley has finally come home?" Albus said, adjusting his glasses as if he couldnt see Rose clearly. "Oh don't be so melodramatic Potter, I do love The Burrow and I did miss you, Merlin forbid you couldve written more." she chuckled, she finally ran up to him and enveloped him in a hug.
Merlin I missed him. You missed your cousins Rose is that so hard to admit? A voice in her piped up.
" Well I genuinely thought I would be seeing you in another year or two, you sounded like you still wanted to run around the globe some more in your last letter." Albus said, "Guess I just wanted space- or I dont know I'm back arent I? And thats what matters." she spoke softly, with a far off look Albus noticed, "Yeah, well I guess so. By the way have you seen Scorpius?" her cousin asked his arms still around her. "What? No, cant even believe that gits still alive. Thought he already died in Bulgaria, but now I'm assuming he's back too." she bit back.
"Well, Weasley you just have to do the same as me, every bloody time dont you? The one time I decide to come back you think the same thing as well. And oh lets see still the same frigid bitch." a velvet voice from her spoke regally, both cousins turned around to see Malfoy wearing his trademark smirk.
Grey eyes and slicked back blonde hair. Seems like coming back is not the best decision at all. The same voice in her head said.
"Watch the language she is still my cousin, Scor." Albus said coolly "I know Al, makes me wonder what happened to her genes." Malfoy sneered.
"And here, I thought you matured over the last 3 years well, thank you for proving me wrong yet again. You seem to excel at that." blue eyes shining with defiance as she turned to Albus and muttered, "I think I need a drink." she gave Malfoy one last glare to which he responded with a mocking smile, before promptly leaving.
You see, ever since the beginning of time Malfoy and Rose Weasley had never been on good terms. The both of them detested each other the minute both hands shot in the air as Professor Longbottom asked his very first Herbology question to his first years at Hogwarts. And well Rosie seeing him here in The Burrow where she is supposed to feel safe, certainly brought out the fight in her. Merlin but why does he still look gorgeous after all this time.
At that thought a very unwelcome memory popped into her head. It was late. The air was cold and she just wanted to get back to the Heads Common Room before freezing to death, but no of course Malfoy picks now to start an argument with her. And now, shes half screaming and half whispering at him to just shut up. And thats when it happens he pushes her up the wall. He kisses her. God forbid she tried ro push away. But it felt so, so right.Get a grip Weasley you dont have to think of it everytime he's around. Her brain shouted. She gulped the rest of her drink, sneaking one last look at Scorpius, before leaving the room.
