"Hey Scorp!"
"Hey L&L." Scorpius acknowledged, "How are you?"
"Great!" Lorcan answered, "What ya doin tonight?"
I'm staying in tonight
Watching tv by myself
"Oh nothing much, I think I'll just watch some tv."
"Scor, what is the bloody matter? What will Rose say if you're just going to lie around, doing nothing?"
"Rose won't care" Scorpius muttered.
"What?" Lysander was shocked, "WON'T CARE? She's Rose, for gods sake. What the bloody hell has she done that you think so?"
Cause yesterday my girlfriend wrecked my life
I don't want to explain
There's nothing I can say to you
"I don't want to talk about it." and after that, Lysander Scamander left.
"SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY!" Albus Severus Potter's voice bellowed from the fireplace.
"WHY HAS ROSE DISAPPEARED IN THIN AIR AND IS LYSANDER SAYING YOU'RE A GIT? LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING, THE FIRST ASSUMPTION IS THAT YOU'VE HURT HER! SO YOU BETTER RECTIFY YOURSELF RIGHT NOW, OR I WILL STOP DEFENDING YOU!"
"Al, fuck the bloody hell off."
"WHERE'S MY COUSIN?"
"She drank too much cocktails, and has gone to some guy's home with him, alright?"
"That would be plausible, if she would like cocktails. But she hates them, so the truth please?"
Score grunted.
"Please Scor? I will help you, whatever the matter is." Albus climbed out the fireplace, "OW! Scor! You don't have to throw a paper at me!"
All I got is this one note she left me.
"Read it." Scor said, and he turned and left, on his way to the bottle firewhisky.
'Scorpius.
When you read this, I'm gone. No one will know where I'll be, yes that includes Lily, Hugo, Al, Lysander, Lorcan, my mother, my father, or any other family member or friend. You probably want a reason, you always want a reason. Well, here's the reason: You party too much. I know you can't change your lifestyle, and I know you're just being you. But I'm being me, and I don't like being the girl you go to if you're wasted. I don't want to be the girl who puts up with you if you don't feel like partying, but is left every time you do. I want to be the girl who's loved, and respected. I can't handle this anymore Scorp, I thought I could, but I can't.
I love you, and I always will, but I'm sure I will love somebody else even more. That's what they say about first love, isn't it? It'll never go away, but you'll have other loves, bigger, better, and more mutual loves. If people ask you where I am, make something up, I've gone off to Australia to help fight Dolochov, I'm a death eater chaser, whatever. Preferably something dangerous and with few holidays. But if you say I've done something illegal and am sentenced five years in Ecruiez, I'm fine with that too. Oh I've got an idea! You could say I've done some ridiculously stupid muggly thing, and died. Anyway, don't try to look for me okay? And don't change your life now, it's a bit late for that. I'm gone for the rest of my life.
love bye farewell goo-
Rose.'
It says that she's not coming back
Not now, not then, next year or ever and if one more person asks me why, I'll try to lie and then...
"Oh fuck. This isn't good man." Albus stated.
Lorcan pulled his hand through his blond locks.
"Rose gone, Scorp down... We gotta do something, partying without Scorp is horrid."
Lysander and Al stared at him in disbelief.
"Hey guys, guess what I got today? A letter from ROSE. Seriously, have you beaten Scorp up already? 'Cause he's been behaving horrible, that's why she left him you know."
"Lily, my love," Lorcan began, but was interrupted.
"Don't even think of it Scamander. I know what you do with him EVERY NIGHT. You know what guys? I'm leaving too." she stalked up the stairs.
"WAIT!" Lysander yelled.
"WHAT?" she yelled back.
Lysander jogged to her.
"I am NOT my twin, Lil. And if you use our last name, you're talking to me too. Oh, and PLEASE don't leave us. One is hard to cover up, but TWO? That's impossible."
"LYSANDER SCAMANDER. You were bestfriends. We all were. We were the gang, remember? Golden gang and such? You could've stopped your twin and friend from clubbing, everyone saw it was killing Rose!"
"Lily Luna, why didn't you do a thing? Huh?" Lysander took a deep breath "I mean, you have an influence on Scorp too."
She sighed.
"I guess you're right, it's just that... I mean I'm... Well... Okay, I didn't do a thing! But I have to blame SOMEONE!" she started to tear up, "Oh 'Sander," sob, "What are we going tell everybody?"
I will say she got herself arrested got ten years locked away, but that's okay
Cause the honest truth: I was gonna end it anyway
"Well," Al said, "She had some suggestions. I think one of them was death eater chaser, another Ecruiez, and she left some space for 'some ridiculously stupid muggly thing', as she put it."
"We'll think of anything, it'd break hearts if they find out she just left." Lysander answered.
I'll make up anything, yeah truthfully.
So no one finds out she left me.
If he expected it, he didn't show it as she flung herself towards him to be engulfed in one of his famous hugs.
"Shh, it'll be all right, just you wait." he caressed her back.
"We're staying with this story? All right, Scorp knows a little more about the base, I know something about a friend who does it too, Lorcan has shagged some girl there and Lysander brought her to the airport." Lily said, going through the story for the ninth time that day.
"I still don't get why we all know some different parts." Lorcan said, sounding extremely bored.
"Because if we all tell the exact same thing, they'll know it's rehearsed, you know, aunt Hermione was the smartest witch of her age!" Albus told him for the tenth time.
"Well you guys aren't the smartest of our age, so why do we do it?"
Lily began to tear up, and while he pulled her into his chest, Lysander glared at his twin.
"No," she sobbed, "Rose is."
"STILL! By the way, how did you even get this idea?" Lorcan said, as if he were completely oblivious to the balled fists of his brother. He wasn't, but he'd never tell anybody. Lorcan could pull the oblivious act off perfectly, and had no intention to change things. After all, this worked amazing to make the stalkers go away.
This time, Lily smiled evilly.
"Maybe I'm not the smartest, but I was sorted into Slytherin for a reason. As you might remember, I ALWAYS got away with everything."
Everyone else stiffened. Lily's sorting had caused some chaos in the families. No one had expected sweet, lovely Lily to be in Slytherin. Exclusive Rose, her brothers and the twins.
She's enrolled in the marine
"Oh ma, it's horrible!" Lily whined.
"What's wrong?" Ginny asked her daughter.
"Well, you know that friend of Rose, Anne?"
Ron and Hermione Weasley sat up, this was about their baby.
"What's with her?" Ron demanded.
"Well," Lily paused, for a dramatic climax, "Apparently, Rose has gone off with her to a muggle marine base. She works there you know, and Rose wanted to 'fully explore herself' before she was a twenty-something. Can you believe it?"
Ron looked relieved, but Hermione didn't.
A door was shut in the front of the hall.
"That'll be Scor, I've asked him if he knew more 'bout it, and he said he'd drop by..." Lily said.
"Hey mr. and mrs's Weasley, hi Lil."
"What have you done to my daughter? I knew I never should've trusted you!" Ron was furious, while Scorpius looked shocked.
"What does he mean?"
"Oh, don't say you don't know my daughter's gone into muggle army."
If Lily hadn't personally made the whole thing up, she would've sworn Scorp was telling the truth. But, if she hadn't, this probably had gone way more chaotic.
"Oh yeah, the base... Well I don't actually know the name, but I've apparated there... she's not allowed to leave, not on weekends, never."
I try to see her most weekends
But in all honesty she's never allowed leave
"Okay, take us with then!" Lily said, acting hopeful.
"Sorry," Scor said, putting his face into his hands, "It's protected very well. It's under a Fidelius. Rose took me, but I only can come there. This is done to protect the muggles, you know, otherwise some wizards of another country could blow the whole base up." he laughed half-heartedly.
"It's funny how Rose, who normally was the one who couldn't stand change at all, ends up being the one who causes the biggest change in my life."
Hermione gave him a squeeze.
"I'm sure it'll be all right, won't it Lil?"
"I hope so..." Lily answered.
"Lysander Scamander!" Lily yelled, whilst running towards him.
He opened his arms, as if he expected her to fly into them. Oh, how wrong he was.
"You," punch, "bloody," punch, "motherfucking," punch, "asshole!"
"Hey!" Lily's godmother exclaimed.
"Sorry Aunt Luna, but he," she pointed towards Lysander, who held his hands up in the air now, "has brought Rosie to the airport, and didn't tell me a single thing!"
"Where DID Rosie run off to?" Lorcan asked, as if he didn't know already.
"A muggle marine base! In INDIA!"
"You mean Dhanvantari?"
"WHAT? DONT TELL ME YOU KNOW HOW TO GET THERE!"
Lily turned towards him, either she is a good actress, or she just can channel her anger very good. Either way, her eyes burned with rage, her hair was static, and in the silence that hung in the air, you could hear a plate shatter.
"No no no," he said, taking a slow step backwards, "But a, ehm, friend of mine works there too."
And Lily began to sob into Lysander's chest for the fourteenth time since Rose's disappearance.
(She says that she's not coming back
Not now, not then, next year or ever and if one more person asks me why, I'll try to lie and then...
I will say she got herself arrested got ten years locked away, but that's okay
Cause the honest truth: I was gonna end it anyway)
The reason I don't have a clue:
This could easily happen to you
And then you'd know just what it's like...
"Oh 'Sander, why Rose? Why did she leave US? What did we do wrong? Is it karma? What did I do to loose a friend, cousin..."
"Shh... It'll be okay, it'll be okay... This could've happen to anybody... Shh..." he kept muttering these things in her hair, while stroking her back.
'Dear Rose,
WHEN THE HELL ARE YOU PLANNING TO BE BACK? Scorp is a wreck, Lorcan has sworn he'll kill you for killing his fun nights, Lysander has to keep us all going, I cry at least once a week all my feelings out by him, your parents (and the rest) think you'll be back with Christmas and Hugo is getting suspicious.
GET THE BLOODY FUCK BACK!
Love, Lily'
(She says that she's not coming back
Not now, not then, next year or ver and if one more person asks me why, I'll try to lie and then...)
(I will say she got herself arrested got ten years locked away
But that's okay, cause the honest truth: I was gonna end it anyway.)
And I could say she did a bungee-jump, rope snapped, she passed away.
But that's okay, cause the honest truth: I was gonna end it anyway.
"WHAT?" Ron screamed, while Hermione cried.
"Rose- she, she, she d-d-die-ied!" Lily cried too.
"B-but, HOW?" Hermione screeched.
"Apparently, some guys there had made a bungee-jump-thingy. But, because they hadn't enough elastic ropes, they used just one, instead of two like the safety-rules say. In short, rope snapped, Rose fell into the sea, RIGHT at a rock. Typical detail: there was only that rock. She could've fallen like a meter to the left, and there wouldn't be a single injury." Lorcan explained, sounding unaffected, but looking awful.
"Where's Scorpius?" Ron asked.
"I'm here mr Weasley." Scorpius looked as if he had cried the whole night. If only the Weasleys knew he had cried every night since Rose's disappearance...
Ron hugged were two souls, bound by their mourning about Rose Weasley.
"So guys," Lily sighed, her eyes red from crying, "We've succeeded. Rose's believed to be death. Mission accomplished."
I'll make up anything, yeah, truthfully.
So no one finds out she left me.
