Chapter 2: Sad excuse for a cousin!
Lily was just minding her own business when she heard what Alice had to say. She had been on her way to her own dorm when she heard what Alice and Rose were saying. Now Lily was one of those people who had to be told to keep a secret in order to actually keep one. She had a huge mouth. She was the complete opposite from her mother because of her personality. If you looked at her you couldn't tell the difference. She had the same straight red hair, the same warm brown eyes, and even the same body structure despite her being three inches shorter. Her personality however consisted of being very girly and much more likely to gossip. This means that there was no way for her to be the only person that will know this secret. She had to force herself not to squeal. She ran up to her cousin Lucy's dorm which was close to her own dorm.
"LUCY!" Lily screamed as she ran in the door.
"Whaaaat I'm trying to sleep!" Lucy whined while slowly sitting up in bed.
Lucy was an… interesting character. She had wavy strawberry blond hair and very, very green eyes. The reason she was so interesting was based on her personality. Lucy was crazy. It wasn't that she was necessarily weird it was mostly because she was so completely clueless. She didn't get hidden messages or sarcasm or really anything. Lucy was sweet and kind but sometimes her clueless attitude overpowered all of that other good stuff.
"Guess what juicy piece of gossip is just heard…" Lily said.
"oh do tell," Lucy said sounding like a kid in a candy shop now fully awake.
"Rosie, our sweet innocent head girl of a cousin, has snogged Mr. Malfoy." Lily said her eyes gleaming with excitement.
"SCOPIUS'S DAD!" Lucy exclaimed completely and utterly disgusted.
"No you sad excuse for a cousin she snogged Scorpius!" Lily exclaimed.
"Ohhh. EPPP!" Lucy shouted.
Lily joined in with the shouting party, "I KNOW RIGHT."
Lucy screamed, "THIS IS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN A NAP."
The two cousins danced around the room leaping and flying through the air. They danced for a good five minutes before falling to the ground in a bunch of giggles.
"We need to go celebrate!" Lucy exclaimed from the floor.
"Yeah let's go spread the word that Rosie has a boyfriend." Lily said helping her cousin up.
Lily and Lucy ran down stairs in time to see Rosie leaving, Al coming in and Ally going back to work on her charms essay.
Al quickly went to sit down next to Ally no one but Scorpius knew that he fancied her. It was also the same way with him. Al was the only person who knew Score fancied Rose.
"Hey Ally what you doing?" Al asked her after sitting down and throwing an arm around her shoulder.
"Charms essay that's due tomorrow so it would be helpful if you don't distract me." She replied still engrossed in her essay.
"Oh so I distract you," Al says while tugging on her hair.
"No it's not that it's just that Rose was distracting me and now you're here and the common room is noisy and kids keep-"
Al cut her off, "I was just kidding."
She was blushing almost Weasley red.
"oh" Was her smart reply.
Al was about to say something when Lucy and Lily came up.
"EPP! I'm sooo excited for Rose and Score." Lucy shrieked.
She was practically jumping up and down.
Thankfully nobody paid attention except for Hugo who was sitting in the chair next to the group. He had been trying to take a nap but he found his cousins excitement much more enjoyment. Everyone else had learned to ignore Lucy when she got into one of her I'm acting like I drank and entire gallon of espresso modes.
"Yeah, I always knew they would make a cute couple!" Lily told them.
"What are you talking about?" Al asked surely Scorpius hadn't told them about his crush.
"You mean you don't know?" Lucy asked.
"What do you know?" Alice asked skeptically.
"The same thing you know." Lily said with a tone that exclaimed 'DUH'.
Alice panicked she just know Rose was going to blame her if this got out, "Al and Hugo don't know that! No one is supposed to know that!"
"Really? You guys should learn to use a silencing charm," Lily told her. "Good thing it was only me walking by huh?"
"Wait what don't we know?" Hugo asked with a confused look on his face.
Al looked equally confused what was going on with his best mates.
"Rose and Scorpius snogged." Lucy said without a care in the world as she examined her nails.
In any other situation her bluntness could have been helpful or funny.
Ally and Lily chorused, "LUCY!"
"What?" Lucy asked looking up.
"They didn't know!" Lily said.
"Yeah that's why I told them they were confused." Lucy said as if that made it all better.
"You really are sad excuse for a cousin." Lily sighed and smacked Lucy on the back of the head.
"Hey!" Lucy said. "I helped them no reason to take your anger management and snarky comment issues out on me!"
Alice exclaimed. "But they weren't supposed to know! No one is! Man Rose is going to kill me!"
A look of terror crossed the lovely Longbottoms face.
"Why weren't we supposed to know? This is great! I always thought they would be good together!" Al said happily.
"What are you talking about this is horrible!" Hugo exclaimed while placing his head in his hands.
Everyone was shocked by this. Hugo was more of the laid back type of brother not the over protective kind. He had curly brown hair and brown eyes. He was extremely easy going and was almost liked Score as much as Al did. (Mostly because he loved that he annoyed Rosie.) If anyone was to support this relationship they thought it would have been Hugo.
"Now I owe James and Fred five galleons each! I don't have ten galleons!" Hugo said.
Suddenly the world made sense again.
"Why do you owe James and Fred five gallens?" Louis asked as he walked up to join the group of Weasley/Potters along with Roxie their cousin and Anna Wood.
"Because Score and Rose snogged." Hugo moaned not realizing what he just did.
"EEEEEPPPPPPP!" Roxie and Anna screamed.
"HUGO!" Ally and Lily shouted at the same time.
"What? Oh right no one is supposed to know sorry."
"You're a sad excuse for a cousin too." Lily said while grabbing a pillow off of the couch and smacking him repeatedly.
"Why is Hugo a sad excuse for a cousin?" Jasper Finnagan asks.
He walks up to join the group along with Frank Longbottom.
"Because Lucy and him keep telling people about Rose and Score snogging when no one is supposed to know. And yes I just realized I did it too. I'm a sad excuse for myself." Lily said as she slapped herself.
Everyone just looked at her with confusion.
"Why isn't anyone supposed to know?" Frank asked.
He looked at Lily who looked as Alice.
"Well you see… Rose has liked Scorpius for a while but they argue too much I've always thought of it as sexual tension. Anyway so she and Score were arguing this morning and she was yelling at him and then she was all like 'you hurt my felling blah blah blah blah hair blah blah blah pale skin blah blah freckles blah' and Score was all like smuchie smuchie and them Rose leaves and comes here and is like 'code violet' and I'm like 'omg really' and she's like 'yeah with Malfoy' and I was like '…..' and the she told me she left and I told her to go and get that attractive boy. And then Lucy is like 'EPP' and Lily is like 'I'm so happy for them' them I'm like 'what don't tell Al and Hugo' then Lucy is like 'EPP they snogged' and Lily and me are like 'LUCY' and Al is like 'GREAT' and Hugo is like 'no I don't have money' then Hugo tells Louis and Lily smacks him and then you come up and Lily smacks herself." Ally rambled.
Everyone just stared at her.
Ally said in simpler words, "Rose and Score are not really together."
"Oh," everyone else chorused.
"I really liked the accents you used." Al said.
"What accents?" Willona Marx asked.
"NOTHING" Everyone shouted.
"Okay, well Al I was wondering if you would go out with me Saturday night?"
Al was about to reply no when Ally grabbed the front of his shirt and snogged him senseless.
"Wow was not expecting that…" Louis said when they came up for air.
"If Rose and Scorpius can snog I can expect anything…" Roxie mumbled.
"What!" Willona exclaimed.
"Roxie!" Everyone shouted.
"You are a-" Lily started.
"I know Lils!" Roxie shouted.
