The silk blue sheet in which Rose was sitting was wet from her teardrops. She was obviously crying. But she couldn't stay there sobbing and crying for the rest of her life. Containing her tears, Rose looked at the wet window. It was raining and it was very hard to see anything. And then, she distinguished a few - more precisely seven - red figures flying in their brooms. Obviously it was the Gryffindor Quidditch team practicing in the pitch. Scanning the team she soon found her cousin James, the recently promoted Quidditch Captain. It wasn't difficult though, of course James had to be the one who was making out with a girl in his own broom, Rose thought to herself and chuckled. It was so typical of him...
But looking at a couple didn't help Rose's situation. She started to cry again, remembering her good times with him. With Scorpius. Until he cheated on her with that stupid Hufflepuff girl. It was their anniversary of 2 years and one month. A few hours ago she had seen her ex-boyfriend kissing Johanna Smith, a fifth year from Hufflepuff. This memory was the only thing on her mind in the moment, and constantly, she had keeping flashbacks of the scene.
[FLASHBACK]
Rose was walking towards the Slytherin dungeons. She was to meet her beloved boyfriend, Scorpius. It was their anniversary and they would spend the whole day together. Shame they couldnt go to Hogsmeade. Rose was definetly in love with him. She wanted him, she desired the boy more than she ever desired anything. More than she desired a book. They were in their sixth year and surely sexual thoughts had come into Rose`s mind a few times, but today these thoughts were stronger than ever and she was expecting to happen something between her and Scorpius. The Weasley girl had put on her sexiest clothes and used a few Muggle acessories, called make-up, that her mother had given her as a gift. Rose was close to the stairs to the dungeons when someone called her.
"Hey Rose!" She didn't look back. "Hey!..." "I think you ought to see this!"
She turned around and saw one of her roommates, Jenny. Rose followed her to the Great Hall. Jenny pointed her the Slytherin table. First she didn't understand why she needed to see a bunch of Slytherin boys in a small circle laughing. When she was about to leave she understood why Jenny had called her. One of the boys moved out and she was capable of get a glimpse of it. There he was, Scorpius Malfoy snogging another girl. Actually he was pressing her against the wall and kissing her. She ran towards the circle, bumped in a few people and grabbed the Hufllepuff girl from Scorpius`s hands. The girl screamed as Rose slapped her in the face and as for Scorpius, he was wordless.
[END OF FLASHBACK]
A few more tears ran from her beautiful eyes and down to her lips, but were interrupted by her soft hand. But she decided to move, to continue with her life and forget that stupid, worthless boy.
"Well, I have to take a stand!" Rose thought again to herself. She got up and left her dormitory in the Ravenclaw Tower. The Common Room was full. Almost all tables, sofas and armchairs were taken. In most of them, there were people reading thick and heavy books or playing a good match of Wizarding Chess. But also there was a few talking and others just thinking, aparently, to themselves.
But the favorite seat of the red-headed girl wasn't taken. She grabbed the biggest book from the table in the centre of the room. In the Ravenclaw Common Room, there were always a book. No matter where, the students always found books. Almost none of them had to go to the library; they had almost every book that was in the school library. The blue armchair was near her; she had just passed Rowena Ravenclaw`s statue,; she was close to getting a moment of peace. But before she could sit, she was stopped by one of the last people she wanted to talk at that right moment.
"Look Corner, if you want to talk to me, then go away. I don't like you and you've
know this since the third year when you confessed that you were in love for me, OK?" Rose began speaking to the boy, trying to avoid a long, boring and uncomfortable conversation.
"I was hoping that... You know... Now that you and the Malfoy boy are over... W-we c-could be t-together."
"Are you deaf?" She was getting angrier at the boy. "You didnt listen to waht I just told you, I—"
But Rose wasnt able to speak anymore. He, Julian Corner, had just grabbed her into a strong and passionate hug and kissed her fully on the mouth. Rose wasn't expecting it. She didn't know what to do, she was shocked. She tried to think, but it was one of the first times that Rose Weasley wasn't able to think of a solution for a problem. But she didn't want to kiss him; she didn't love him. She tried to push him away.
"But his lips... Aaah, his lips! Sweet, soft, and his tongue...WAIT!" Rose was now thinking right and realized that she couldn't do this, it was outrageous!
She pushed him away with all her strength and began to sob. Corner fell on the floor and a few looked at them, curious about what had just happened. Rose couldn't believe she had done this. She was feeling disgusted from herself. And sobbing, she walked to the armchair by the large window, ignoring all the voices behind her, espeacilly the voice of Jullian Corner attemptting to say sorry. She turned her book over and saw what she was going to read. The teenager remembered her mother and forced a smile.
"Hogwarts, a History.- sob- I hope-sob- this-sob-can-sob-cheer-sob- me up."
She began to read. For a brief moment she was able to pay attention to the book and focus. But soon, the words didn't seem to make sense for the girl. She wasn't understanding anyhing. Rose couldn't concentrate. She closed the book and was about to run up to her bed and cry, but Corner appeared in front of her again.
"GO AWAY!"
Everybody stopped what they were doing and searched for the girl who had screamed. But Rose had already sprinted out of the Common Room. She didn't know where to go, nor what to do. For a few minutes she thought about going to the library but she remembered she couldn't focus on the book. Again, Rose found herself without an answer to the problem. But she remembered that her cousin Albus Severus Potter told her that he wouldn't help her with anything. But there was one problem. He might be in the Slytherin Common Room, and Scorpius might be there too.
She looked everywhere in the castle in search for her cousin. The owlery, the library, the Great Hall, the courtyards, the kitchen, empty classrooms, even in the Boathouse. But he was nowhere to be seen. There was only one other place for her to look, and she was hoping that she wouldnt need to go there. The Slytherin Dungeons.
