Uploading my second chapter :) I hope you guys like it! I had a small Scorpious+Rose moment but this chapter was mostly focused Hugo

Chapter Two- Rose

I only half-listened in potions and almost blew up the room when I added one bat spleen too many.
"Rose are you ok? You seem really out of it…" Teddy said worriedly and I gave him a small smile.
"Just tired, I didn't get a very good night's sleep last night," I said and Teddy nodded warily. But the truth was I kept sneaking glances to Scorpius, who was excelling at potions, as usual.
"Weasly!" I heard Professor Lori snap and I turned my attention to the black cauldron slowly turning the mixture.

After potions I managed to get a steaming cup of coffee to accompany me to Defense Against the Dark Arts, which I had with Teddy, Victoire, and James.
"Hey James, how's your first day been going?" I asked, making idle conversation. As James babbled about the Quidditch tryouts we all knew he'd ace I turned the warm cup in my hand.
"Rose?" James asked and I looked back up to him, he looked slightly hurt which I found surprising since James always loved to joke around.
"Oh yeah, sorry, I was just- I'm tired." I said and James gave me a small smile before turning back to the professor. Great, I thought, now he's mad at me!
"I'm sorry James, what were you saying?" I asked and he just shrugged murmuring that it wasn't important.

DADA passed rather quickly and I zoomed out of it hoping to get this day over with.


All of my classes passed quickly and I collapsed onto the table at the Great Hall, making a point to sit next to James.
"Hey James," I said meekly, he had made idle conversation with me throughout the day and while I was his cousin it didn't mean he was always civil with me.
Just then Ace came soaring to me and plopped down in front of me a small scroll in his clutches.

Rose,

I think Lily suits the arrogance in Gryffindor and I was trying not to be found by you lot. Yes I am trying out for Keeper and I know I will make it, there's no one else really to beat, there's no competition in Ravenclaw. Alice is nice…for a Gryffindor, and her brother, Tommy, is my best friend. He says I should try and talk to you but we both agree on Gryffindor's undoubtedly stupidity so we're not sure how to talk to you people without getting you people thoroughly confused. I advise you not to contact me again if you are arrogant and annoying like most Gryffindor's. I would even go so far as to say not to make eye contact since I have a reputation here in Ravenclaw that you might tarnish.

Hugo

I stuffed the letter in my pocket not wanting to look at it as I felt tears spring into my eyes he was being horrid! I wiped away the probable tears with the back of my hand and exhaled, James looking worriedly at me.
"Are you alright Rosie?" He asked and I managed to nod my head, not saying a word. Teddy put his arm on mine and quietly asked what was wrong, I shoved him the letter and was about to burst into tears.
"I didn't know he could be such a jerk!" I said as I got up and snatched the letter from Teddy who probably hadn't finished reading it. I ran out of the Great Hall trying not to cry and I raced through the hallways. I had my head down so when I ran into someone I stumbled back murmuring an apology.
"Rose? What's wrong?" I heard the familiar voice but I was unused to it being calm, I looked up to see Scorpius worriedly looking at me.
"N-nothing, just a bad first day is all." I said as I tried to walk past him, I had never seen such a nice side of Scorpius before.
"Ah, I've had the same, notice how I'm not in the Great Hall," we both nervously chuckled and I gulped uncertainly.
"But what's wrong? You look well-not so good." He said with a small smirk and I gave him a small smile. I was contemplating giving him the letter before my mind snapped back in place. This is Scorpius! He's a Slytherin and he'd never stop teasing you if you told him! But he'd been so nice…
"N-nothing, just a bad first day, as I said before." This time I skirted away from him and walked slowly back to the common room hoping it was empty.

I was right, it was empty. I fell back into one of the lavish chairs in front of the comforting flame. It was then that Ace came to me again with a small napkin in his talons.
"You've brought enough bad news already, if this has anything bad…"

Rose! Are you okay? You left so suddenly I thought something might be wrong, Teddy said he never got to finish the letter and Albus said you were crying? But then again he always makes things up… we'll be up in the common room as soon as Teddy finishes stuffing himself.

-James

I smiled and held the letter, I folded this one carefully and slipped both letters in my Potions book, I secretly loved potions and usually did exceptionally well.
"Rose!" I heard Albus call as he tried to scramble through the entrance; he ran up to me and jumped on my lap. "Are you alright?" he asked and I smiled, nodding.
"You didn't need to come all the way up here Albus, I'm fine, and someone just was being horribly mean." Albus nodded and I remembered back when he was a toddler and the cutest thing in the world, he wasn't much different in the way people treated him.
"Rose!" Teddy said as he ran up to me, lifted Albus up, and sat in the chair next to me, all in one movement. "Let me see the letter."
"I'm fine, I'm over it, and it's nothing." I said but he didn't believe, as he shouldn't.
"James is coming and he'll forcefully take the letter if you don't give it here." Teddy made a good point so I handed over the crumpled ball of parchment.

"Oh…oh my gosh! Hugo!" Teddy cried in outrage as James slipped through the portrait with Lily getting a piggyback ride from him.
"What? Lemme see! Teddy!" James said as Albus and Lily rushed to play Wizard Chess.
"It's nothing James, I'm fine and Teddy's just overreacting." But James was already reading the letter and his mouth fell farther open with each word.
"I'm gonna go teach that filthy smartass Ravenclaw who's arrogant!" James said as he started towards the portrait.
"James, no!" I cried as I grabbed his arm but Teddy was grumbling and walking to join James.
"He's your cousin! You can't beat him up!" I said desperately but James shook his head and Teddy smirked.
"I'm not technically related to him so I can beat him up as much as I want." Just then Albus ran up and tried to put on a menace look but ended up looking adorably grumpy.
"Can I beat him up too?" Albus asked but I shook my head and shooed him away. As soon as I turned back James had an apologetic look on his face as he closed the portrait behind him.

Knowing I'd never be able to stop them on their rampage I grabbed a scrap piece of parchment.

Hugo! James and Teddy accidently read your letter and their going to beat the crap out of you if you don't get in the common room; I hope Ace finds you in time. Love Rose.


I sent Ace away and tried not to think of how much trouble Teddy and James would get in if they got caught, and the repercussions that would land on me since everyone would blame me for not stopping them.
"C'mon Ace, please get there in time…" but the fact that Hugo would even listen to my warning was slim.

An hour later Victoire came storming into the girl's dormitory where I was brushing my hair and glared at me.

"I hope you're happy." She said and I whirled around, what did she mean?
"Teddy is in a lot of trouble from your parents because of you, and ten house points each for James and Teddy were taken!" She said in her shrill voice, I must have still looked confused because she clarified one more time.
"Hugo is in the infirmary with a broken arm and nose because of you." And then she left, leaving me alone in the terrifyingly quiet room.

Hope you guys liked it! Don't forget to R&R! Thank you! :D
