"Hi, Victoire. What do you wa- I mean, what are you doing here?" she tried hard to smile, but her lip curled and she grimaced instead. Victoire however did not notice this.
"Ro-Ro? I asked, do you want to come eento our cabeen?" Victoire repeated again, as if to a child. Rose sighed.
"No thanks, I´m fine here." she gestured to Scorpius. Victoire turned her delicate head, but when she saw who was sitting there she reacted just like Rose had.
"Oh. Eet´s you." she said and turned to Rose, ignoring Scorpius completely. "Are you sure that you don´t want to come to our cabeen. You don´t want to seet alone een here do you?"
"Wha- No Vic, I won´t be alone. And I´m sure, thanks." she smiled brightly at her cousin.
"Are you sure?!" she nudged her head toward the now very confused Scorpius. Then, as Rose realized what she was doing, she caught Scorpius´eye.
"Well, if you´re so intent on sitting with me, then why don´t you... ooh I dunno... Sit with me and Scorpius Malfoy?" She added a slight emphasis on his surname. Then, Victoire lost it.
"You want me to seet with the son of the reason I can´t see my father every full moon? You want me to seet with the reason he´s a werewolf?! Rose, you´ve lost eet!" She cried and slammed the door on her journey out of their cabin. They were both quiet for a second, until the door opened once again. It was the trolley lady.
"Anything off the trolley, dears?" she smiled her sugary smile. Then, Rose slowly got up and looked at Scorpius.
"I have to go." She picked up her bag and drifted out of the cabin. She looked around at all the other cabins, full of so many chattery children. They didn´t know that just outside their doors was a girl who felt so alone, so empty, that she was close to tears. Then, just as she lifted a hand to rub her watery eyes, a young boy bumped into her.
"Ow!" Rose rubbed her sore shoulder. The boy looked at her.
Staring back into those brown eyes was the young, but angry face of Ted Lupin.
