Fan Fiction
The Thorns in the Scorpion
Rose weasley in her fourth year was at the Gryffindor common room with her cousin Albus.
"Question fourteen" Albus said
Rose was in her own little fantasy since question nine she was thinking of a boy she really liked Agustus Finnigan but he was in slytherin and probably her whole family wouldn't agree.
"Rose?" Albus said "ROSE"
"What?" rose said jumping back into reality
"what's question fourteen?" Albus asked taking her piece of parchment
"No, Albus don't-" it was too late Albus saw that it was filled with hearts and names like Mrs Finnigan and Rose + Agustus forever.
"Rose the potions test is coming soon and you don't seem to be bothered about it" he said "and the written is seventy five percent of the marks and the physical is only twenty five"
"I know its just I'm… a bit distracted-" she blushed as she snapped the piece of parchment away from Albus's hand
"With Slytherin boys its seems" Rose blushed a bit more "So?,..I am sure you like someone too..
ehem, ehem…Lisa Westwood"
Albus wasn't pleased "I don't let her get in the way of my studies" he said "and this are very important tests im sure she is studying right now"
Rose and albus always teased each other specially rose to albus.
"Nerds in love" Rose said under her breath
"ha ha, Rose, hilarious" Albus replied as he had heard it.
"okay I feel hungry so I am going to lunch you can keep studying by yourself" Rose stood up
"I am coming with you" Albus said "I am hungry too"
They walked the wide corridors with their steps echoing across it.
"So…Agustus Finnigan" Albus broke the silence "what's wrong with Agustus?" she asked
"nothing I just thought you had better taste" he said just as they walked in to the Great Hall where the food looked lovely and Albus disappeared with his friends while Rose was been called by her best friend Anna "Rose over here"
Rose sat across from her "hey Anna".
A silver plate appeared infront of rose with two fried eggs, bacon and some mashed potatoes "delicious"
"Are you going home for Christmas?" Anna asked with curiosity
"Yes I believe I will… I think" Rose replied before putting a fork full of mashed potato in her mouth.
"Are you?" she said after swallowing her food "No, there isn't much to go home to just Mum and Arthur, her new boyfriend, and my brother Stewart he is going to be back from Germany but I really don't want to see him so im staying here" she concluded
"I have to go back to the family reunion they have it every year, and you know Wallace Tomas?"
Anna nodded
"well his dad and him are coming over that day and some other friends of my parents"
"Wow Wallace Tomas in your house that must be great"
Wallace was handsome and well known for his Quidditch skills making Gryffindor win three times in a row the Quidditch house cup.
"well we'll see that when he is there"
They finished their lunch and just as the mail had arrived the owls dropped letters all around the Hall to their recipients and three letters fell on Roses' empty plate.
She pulled them out and opened the first one,
Dear Rose,
Its mum we hope you are coming back for Christmas on the . holidays we have all the presents bought and ready for all of you to come home please tell Hugo to write once in a while we haven't heard from him since the start of the year. Well your father is looking forward for you to come home as well as uncle Harry and Ginny.

Rose left it to the side and opened the next one this was very fancy and had designs on the envelope
She opened it and said,
Hogwarts Invitation for Rose Jane Weasley.
For the Christmas Holiday Ball in the venue of the Great Hall
Where all students will be welcome to attend.
The night of the twelfth of December From six to midnight.
Principal Minerva McGonagall
Everyone around rose had one of the invitation she was happy there was a ball on it was only every two years and she loved those kinds of things.
Then the last letter was from her cousin Teddy Lupin
Dear Rose
I got your letter and desided to reply as soon as I could.
It is very exciting to hear that you are still in the Quidditch team you might see my plaque there in the trophy display.
Don't let Hugo annoy you ill beat him up over the holidays and he wont bother you again.
And I found out Agustus Finnegan is Clare Finnegan's brother the girl in my year in Hogwarts.
And I have another special gift for you but you wont be able to get it until Christmas so I can be sure you come home and I can see you.
Teddy
"what are you going to do for the rest of the day?" Anna asked
"Quidditch practice remember?"
"Oh, yes about that"
"No, Anna, No" Rose said "you cant do this it's the third time you have bailed out of training"
"But Rose"
"No buts Anna im sorry training in half an hour and that's that"
"Fine" Anna gave up
