Ron clutched the parchment. He just received an owl from James. He had wondered why James would be sending them letters, but when he read it he felt grateful James did it. "Hermione" he said stiffly "James just sent us a letter." "Really?" asked Hermione, who was holding a whisk, because she like to bake "the muggle way" "What did he write about?" Ron went closer, his knuckles white. "Rosie," he said "Has found a boyfriend" Hermione gasped. "I can't believe it! Who is it?" Ron's face was stony, like cement. This can't be good. Hermione thought. "It is" Ron said angrily. "The son of Draco Malfoy." Ron did not get the reaction he expected. He thought she would freak out, or something. Instead she looked at him, and said "Oh, Scorpius? Oh I can just imagine it!" Ron was taken aback. "You don't get it, it's Scorpius Malfoy. Draco's son." Hermione seemed to not notice the point. "So?" she asked. "So? He might have made him befriend her then break her heart!" Hermione sighed. "Ron, why would he do that?" she asked. "Because he's a git!" Ron exclaimed.
While they argue, let's go back to Hogwarts. Rose and Scorpius were sitting against a tree. Rose had her head on his shoulder, and was reading as always. Then suddenly James came running towards them."Hey you! Get away from my sister!" he shouted. James took out his wand and pointed it at Scorpius. Both Rose and Scorpius stood up. "James no!" Rose said. "No you don't understand Rose, he's evil!" James said, still keeping his eyes on Scorpius. "No you don't understand James" Rose retorted. "He's not evil." Scorpius seemed so quiet. He was just standing there, watching the cousins argue with each other. "Just go away!" Rose shouted, she felt so annoyed that James had to butt in like this. "No!" James said, "He is the son of the guy who hated our parents!"Rose rolled her eyes. "Who cares about who his parents are?" she said, feeling extremely irritated. They argued back and forth for ten minutes, when James finally gave in. "Fine! But I'm keeping an eye on you" He said, glaring at Scorpius.
"I'm so sorry about that." Rose said, turning to Scorpius. "He was just being mental." Scorpius sighed. "My dad said he regretted so much being like that. H told me I might be judged by his attitude in school." They sat down again, this time facing each other."That's horrible! So what if your dad was a bully?" Rose asked him. Scorpius shrugged. Rose reached for his hand and held it. "well then, the next person to judge you by your father will personally get a hex in the face from me." She grinned. How can she be so innocent then suddenly mischievous? Scorpius thought, also grinning. "Just don't get caught" he said jokingly.
