thick as thieves

scorpius/rose

Dear Rose,

You're probably wondering why I'm writing you. Well, Albus is quite upset with me right now, and while I won't divulge the dirty details, I would like you to try and convince him to kindly suck it up. I would go to James, but he and I don't really see eye to eye. You're his friend, would you talk to him for me?

I appreciate the help.

Scorpius Malfoy

Dearest Scorpius,

It's always a pleasure to hear from you, really, even though you're nicely using me as fodder for my cousin's angst. Last time I told dearest Albus to quit whining, he cried for two days. Don't you even think I'm going through that again.

I got grounded for a week. Chores without magic isn't fun, you know.

Always,

Rosie W.

Rose.

Did he really cry for two days?

Sincerely,

Scorpius

Dear Scorpie,

What happened to 'dear'?

And no, Albus wasn't actually crying. He was just pouting and acting like a two year old. But enough of this; I'm not doing your dirty work for you. Just keep owling him...Albus can't stay mad at anyone, ever. Sometimes I wonder how he's not a Hufflepuff.

...so yes, good luck to you.

Sincerely,

Rosie

Dear Scorpius,

By the way, what exactly did you do to him? I asked him at dinner and he looked like he swallowed a grape.

Ever curious,

Rosie

Dear Rose,

It's nothing, really. He's just being a twat and won't listen to reason. In any case, I'll just corner him next week at school. Hard to believe Christmas break is almost over, isn't it?

Scorpius

Scorpie,

You got me a present, right?

Hugs and kisses,

Rosie

Rose,

Why in the Merlin's name would I get you a Christmas gift? I hardly speak to you. Well, in person at least.

Scorpius Malfoy

Dear Scorpius Malfoy,

Is the last name supposed to do something for me? Because, really, it doesn't. Tacking that on just makes you sound like a git. (I already know your last name, thank you.)

...I was joking there. I promise. Ha?

No but really. Present?

Love,

Rosie

Rosie,

Ha, ha. No.

Scorpius

SCORPIUS!

You called me Rosie. I'll go talk to Albus for you.

Love and such,

Rosie Weasley

Dear Scorpius,

After several intercepted letters and many of Rose's attempts, I will talk to you again. Even though you're a git for even thinking my cousin would go out with you...come on, Scorp. Really. My cousin. Why don't you ask, like, Lily. She kinda deserves a prat like you. (She turned my robes purple the other day. Yeah, I mean it.)

Tomorrow we'll be on the train back to Hogwarts and I'll pretend like our conversation before break never happened.

Also, stop sending her owls. It's freaking Dad out.

Always,

Albus

Albus,

My best friend on the whole planet. My comrade. My noble Gryffindor accomplice.

Your lovely cousin will be dating me by the end of next week. Get used to it, it's going to happen no matter how disgusted the idea makes you.

"Always",

Scorpius Malfoy

And by the way, purple would look smashing on you.

Scorpius,

I just really hate you.

Albus.
