A/N: Hey guys! Sorry about the last story. But as I promised in my PMs, here's my new one!

It takes place in the year 2029, when Rose is 23. I've done some work on each of the characters, so I've enough of a plot to last for a good number of chapters. Please Read and Review this! The thing that makes me write the most is an audience!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, be realistic.

Chapter 1

I remember the day well.

I was sitting in the Great Hall, eating something or other ( Of course I eating something. Come on. Be realistic here. I'm Rose Weasley, for Merlin's sake.) I was sat beside Albus Potter. The Weasleys and Potters were having their usual banter at the Gryffindor table. All of a sudden; a crash was heard at the end of our table. A flash of light appeared, and the patronus of a wolf appeared at the end of the table where Scorpius Malfoy was sitting. He had started to sit on his own a lot lately, and he was getting a lot of letters from home. He hadn't talked to Al in while, either, Al told me.

The patronus started talking to Scorpius. Its then that I recognised it.

''Teddy..'' I gasped, as I ran down to the end of the table, pushing my family out of the way to hear what Ted had to say. I saw Scorpius' face turn paler than usual- not that I'd notice his complexion- as Teddy's patronus continued to say something to Scorpius that I didn't quite catch. Before I knew it, Teddy's patronus was gone, and Scorpius along with it.

That was 3rd year, 2019. Its now 2029, and I still haven't seen Scorpius Malfoy since that day.


I've brought the subject up with Teddy Lupin a couple of times now over the last number of years. He's never given me an explanation; his face goes blank of expression and always figures out a way to change the subject.

Teddy and Scorpius are second cousins, and were really close. I see Ted as my cousin too, but I have to remember that we aren't actually related. Ted and Scorpius always had a close relationship when we were in school. Scorpius always came to Teddy for advice and someone to just confide in. I suppose being the only family he could talk to, Teddy was Scorpius' best bet for some solitude.

It hit Teddy hard when Scorpius disappeared. Teddy knows something about it, though, and he won't tell anybody. The Ministry won't look into the disappearance, and the School wasn't that bothered. Because it was to do with a Malfoy. And, according to everyone, anyone associated with the Malfoy name is vile and not worth looking into.


''ROSIE WEASLAAAAAAAAAAY!''

I'm awoken from my day dream. Was I just thinking of Scorpius Malfoy again? Really Rose, what's gotten into you?

I sit up better in my seat. I focus my tired eyes on the blond in front of me. Lorcan Scamander. My gay best friend.

''How'ya doing, Lo?'' I ask sleepily.

Lo was such an amazing person. He was cheerful all of the time; he always knew how to put a smile on your face. He stood there in his cute little shirt and bowtie, his hair parted at the side with a little Gene Kelly curl at the top. That boy put more product in his hair than I do. And I've got Hermione Granger's hair.

''I'm Ecstatic Rosie. ECSTATIC!'' he beamed, sitting up on top of the counter top of W.W.W that I was currently taking care of as a summer job.

''And what, dear one, has you so ecstatic?'' I ask, humoured.

''WELL, you know the way I've liked Ed Martin since like, birth? YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHO JUST BECAME SINGLE!'' He said, excitedly. He started doing this weird movement with his hands, which I think is his 'Happy Dance'.

''Ed and Lo-Lo sitting in a tree'' I sang softly, receiving a soft punch to the shoulder by a now blushing Lorcan.

''Stop it Rosie! I'm really nervous about this now...'' he said shyly.

''Why?'' I asked, grinning at him.

''Because Rose! This is first publicly gay guy I've ever had a crush on! What if I mess up my chances with him, Rose?''

''Oh Lo-lo, you need to chill out. He's going to see how amazingly sexy you are and jump into your lap'' I said, winking at him. He started to blush redder.

I started to giggle and helped my self to a Weasley Wizard Waker (a sweet that woke you up, basically. Best thing my Uncle Georgie could've invented, especially during exams.)

''Still can't sleep, huh?'' asked Lo, concerned. He placed his head softly on my shoulder.

''Nope...'' I sighed. I picked up another sweet and popped it in my mouth. Maybe if you keep eating them they lose effect?

He studied my face. ''You're eyes look tired...sad. You look worn out... Are you still having the dream, Rosie?'' Lo queried.

''...N..No...'' I said in a high pitch. I silently cursed myself inside. Stupid Rose!

''Rosie...'' Lo said, stroking my hair softly. He looked into my eyes, trying to show me that I could talk to him.

That's when I burst out crying, and Lo held me there in that little shop, trying to calm me down. ''Woah..,..Hey... shhh.. Its okay Rose... '' he said softly.

''They...won't...go...away...'' I sobbed into his chest.

''The Dreams?'' he asked me, pulling me closer in a protective manner. I nodded into his chest. ''I'm so scared, Lo. Why am I dreaming about someone who's been missing for what, 10 years? He's probably dead for all I know! Why is this happening, Lo? I wasn't that close to him in school! That was Al and Teddy!'' that's all I could say before crying again.

''Rosie..'' Lo said in a soft voice. ''Everything's okay... I'm here... Hey! Why don't we ditch the store and go out shopping? Huh?''

I smiled and wiped my wet eyes. ''That sounds like fun, Lo! Let me get my coat.''

I walked into the small and cramped back store and got my coat. When I walked back out and into the shop, I was met with quite a sight. Lorcan was standing there, gobsmacked, looking at the peculiar person in front of him. I couldn't place the man. He was about my age, tall, and he had a strong face. His hair was dirty blond and it curled at his ears. He looked out of place. Lost. He looked into my eyes, then. Those grey eyes, the ones from my-

''Rose?'' the man said, softly, his face in disbelief.

''Scorpius...''
