AN: This chapter jumps around a bit, but not all of them after this will be that way. This is just to establish what is going on in the story, after this the chapters will rotate between each story, kind of like many stories in one, all intertwined? I hope it makes sense, it should once I start posted more chapters.
This my lovelies, is a little tidbit of a multi-chapter story called, Mistakes.
Lame title, I know, but I had nothing better.
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone besides who you don't know.
Basic ages for everyone in this story:
Albus, Lysander, Lorcan, Rose, Scorpius, Abigail: 16
James: 17
Lily, Hugo: 14
Louis, Molly, Roxanne, Fred: 18
Dominique: 20
Victorie: 22
Lucy: 15Dominique Weasley had always been the "secret-keeper" for the Weasley/Potter family while they were growing up. She was the one person that all of her cousins could come to knowing that the secret wouldn't be told to a best friend or a parent.
So when Scorpius Malfoy showed up at her door, she almost sent him away.
Then he said it was about Rose, and she stood aside to let him in.
This should be good.
"I think Rose fancies me"
Scorpius had made the announcement quite suddenly, and Dominique's eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open.
Well, that could be a problem.
"You and Albus are dating" Dominique stated, then shook her head quickly, feeling stupid for even mentioning it. Scorpius threw his hands in the air and nodded his head, and Dominique watched as his eyes lit up.
"I'm so bloody happy you understand that! Rose seems to believe we're just shagging and that nothing else is going on!" he yelled, burying his face in his hands.
Dominique sighed, sympathy welling up inside of her for the poor bloke.
Not many were lucky enough to become the object of Rose Weasley's affections, but once they did, she tended to hold on for a bit.
"Scorpius, I have no idea what to tell you to do, because Rose is a bit difficult at times, if I'm being honest. Just wait it out. Perhaps she'll get over it all on her on, and nothing will ever have to happen, alright?" Dominique asked.
Scorpius stll seemed unsure, but nodded his head and stood.
"Thanks, Dom. I can see why everyone comes to you for advice. Louis was bloody useless" he muttered, before he waved and walked out of her front door, shutting it behind him as he left.
Dominique groaned and buried her face in her hands much like Scorpius had done a few moments ago, and shook her head.
Rose had a habit of falling for the worst people.
"Are you joking? That is fantastic, Abby! Why not tell her, yeah? Get her off of my back for a while?" Scorpius asked, nudging Abigail in the side.
Abigail did nothing but blink at him.
"Are you serious, Malfoy? I just tell you that I'm in love with my best friend and what do you do? You mention something about yourself. If that blonde head of yours got any larger, you would fall over from the loss of balance!" Abigail screamed, slapping him on the top of the head.
Scorpius yelped and leaped backwards, clutching the top of his head.
"I'm sorry! But you know she won't leave me alone! She's Rose, it's just the way she is! And with the way she acts around you it's not like she'll hate you if you tell her and she doesn't feel the same way!" Scorpius screamed.
Abigail looked down at the sheets on Scorpius' bed, and sniffled.
Scorpius looked like he might cry as well.
"Don't cry, Abby! Oh, bloody hell! You know I didn't mean to yell at you that way! C'mon, we're best mates, right? Have been since first year? C'mon!" Scorpius yelled.
Abigail launched herself at him and hugged him tightly around the waist, and Scorpius sighed, hugging her tightly.
He was debating in his mind if he should tell Albus how he thought Rose felt about him or not.
But what if he was wrong?
Then he had made Albus mad at his cousin for no reason, and possibly ruined the friendship that he and Rose shared.
Scorpius shook his head and sighed again.
No, he was just going to have to keep this a secret.
No one but he, Dominique, and Abigail could know, or else it could end badly for everyone involved.
A knock on the door alerted Dominique to someone's presence, and she tore the door open, grabbing Rose by the front of the shirt and tugging her inside.
"Dom! What is wrong with you?" Rose yelled, straightening her shirt.
"Me? What's wrong with you, Rose? Do you honestly fancy Malfoy, of all people? You had to choose Malfoy?" Dominique yelled back, throwing her hands in the air.
Rose blinked.
"Who told you I fancied Malfoy?" she asked, her tone low and dangerous.
"To avoid a murder I don't think I'll mention names. Is it true?" Dominique asked.
Rose looked down and shrugged.
"It is true! Oh, Rose! Albus and Scorpius are dating. They love each other, alright? You have to let this go!" Dominique yelled.
"I'm trying, alright? It's not like I wanted to fancy my cousin's boyfriend! Albus has been like my best friend since we were born and you act like I enjoy the fact that this could hurt him horribly!" Rose yelled.
Dominique sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
"Just keep it to yourself, alright?" she asked, gritting her teeth.
Rose nodded, and Dominique left her standing near the door alone.
After a few moments, Rose turned and left the house, slamming the door behind her as she went.
"I think I might fancy Lorcan"
Lysander nearly spit his drink across the room and fell to the floor in shock when Lily said it, and quickly he wiped at his mouth with his hand, setting down his glass and turning to look at her.
They were seated in the Potter living room, and Lorcan and James had run off as soon as they had come in contact with each other, and with the way Lorcan thought about things outside of the box, and the wonderful mind James had for pranking, Lysander didn't bother to ask what they were planning.
"Lorcan is in love with Lucy, Lily. No matter how much he refuses to admit it, he is" Lysander pointed out, trying to keep his voice soft.
Please say you were joking.
"I know that, alright? But honeslty, he's cute-"
"We're identical!" Lysander wanted to cut in, but held back, biting his tongue so roughly he was sure he tasted blood.
"And he's sweet and kind and he's what I always wanted to find when I found a boyfriend, you know?" Lily asked.
Lysander stuttered for a minute.
"You're only fourteen! You don't need a boyfriend!" he finally yelled, then groaned loudly as Lily's eyes went wide and she growled.
"You had your first girlfriend when you were thirteen, Lysander. Don't even try to lie about it, either. So how can you possibly say that I can't have a boyfriend at fourteen?" Lily asked.
Lysander opened his mouth to respond, but Lily waved a hand in the air.
"Just go home" she muttered.
Lysander sighed and stood, walking over to the fireplace.
With a flash of green he stepped into the fire and was gone, leaving Lily alone on the couch.
Later on that night, Dominique threw herself down onto her bed and groaned loudly, rubbing her neck.
She had the largest headache she had ever experienced, her cousins were running around like rabid dogs and probably destroying each other, and she could do nothing about it.
Letting out a breath of air she rolled over and shook her head.
Sometimes, it really bothered her, being one of the oldest.
