Rose/Scorpius Chapter 1

CHAPTER ONE-THE SMALLEST CHAPTER

"AAAHHH- What the he- HUGO WEASLEY!" I screamed. You would have too, if your little brother had snuck up on you and tackled you. In a moment I was up on my feet. Hugo wasn't. He probably felt it was a better idea to stay on the ground. He thought wrong.

"Oh, no you don't! Stay right there. How many times have I told you not to sneak up on me like that? You know I scare easily. You KNOW that! Never, EVER do that again, you hear me?" I took my foot off Hugo's chest, where I had placed it to keep him down. Iheard hysteric laughing, and whipped around to see my cousin Albus, doubled over in a fit of giggles. Hugo got up gingerly and rubbed his upper arm guiltily, a small, sheepish smile on his face.

"Sorry, Rosie, but you make it too easy. If you had just gone to counseling like I suggested, maybe you wouldn't have these-" But he didn't finish his sentence, as I had started chasing him around the apartment, this time for two reasons. I was ticked at Hugo, and I hate being called "Rosie".

"Look, brat, we go back to Hogwarts in a week. This is my OWL year, and I need to pass. With at least an E in everything. So listen, and listen good. I'm going to be spending almost all of this year studying, and I need to be prepared and not in Saint Mungo's for permanent shock, which I am COMPLETELY convinced you'll give me one of these days. So. I am so done with you!" And with that, I turned on my heel and went into my bedroom, where I slammed the door hard.

"Impressive. That was her longest rant yet," I heard Albus comment, and Hugo started laughing right along with him.
