Rose Weasley sat in the hospital waiting room grumpily. Her baby brother had just been born mere hours earlier and Rose's while family was in the hospital room with the new baby and her parents.
It wasn't fair that her brother got her mummy and daddy and her whole family! She wished he would just go away. Rosie had been told her brother would be fun to play with but all he did when she was there was cry. Her parents had lied to her. Hugo wasn't any fun at all!
Rose grinned when she saw her godfather and Uncle Harry walk out of the room. Her Uncle Harry was her favorite person in the whole world! He always had time for his Rosie and she just knew he'd agree with her about the baby.
She hopped from her chair and ran to her favorite uncle and reached up to be held.
Harry smiled down at his little niece and swung her in the air before putting her on his hip. "Now how's my Rose today?" he asked.
He loved seeing his red headed bushy haired niece. She looked so much like her mother but with her father's hair color and eyes that it was like seeing his best friends every time he saw her. He didn't have favorite but Rose was the child of his best friends. And his goddaughter. So she held a special place in his heart.
Rose pouted. "Hugo's no fun. Can't they give him back?" she asked.
Harry had to bite back a laugh. "He may not be fun now but when he's a bit older he'll be tons of fun." he said.
Rose raised an eyebrow. "No Uncle. He won't be my Alby." she said.
Harry smiled. Rose and Albus had been inseparable since they were born. "No he probably won't be like Alby. But he will be fun. You'll see."
Rose frowned. "But Hugo's special. No one will think I'm special." she said in a small voice.
Harry frowned. He didn't say a word as he took her out of the hospital and into a small enclosure where people relaxed and flowers grew. He took her to a patch of roses and took one that hadn't bloomed yet.
He sat her on his lap and showed her the little bud. "Now do you know what this is Rosie?" he asked her.
Rose frowned. "A baby rose?" she asked.
Harry smiled. "Exactly. You see this is a baby rose that hasn't bloomed yet. But if we let it grow then it will bloom and become even more special than when it was a baby. Its like you Rosie. You're still a kid. A baby almost like this little rose bud. As you grow you become more and more special. No one not even a new brother can take that away from you. You are special Rose. And you always will be. Do you understand?" he asked.
Rose smiled. "So I'm a rose bud?"
Harry nodded. "You're a little Rose Bud that grows special with every moment."
