Chapter 2
*DISCLAIMER: Lots of these characters belong to Queen Jo (JK Rowling) I forgot to put this on Chapter 1
I had enjoyed it at dinner when Rose's eyes widened and she got so scared she couldn't talk. Now, she's just being annoying. It's Saturday, the day of the Hogsmeade trip, and she's fussing over everything. "How does my hair look? Should I change outfits? This is too drab. Oh, no, I smudged my makeup!"
I'm sitting on my bed. "Stop worrying. He'll like you."
"You really think so?"
"Yeah, sure. And if anything goes wrong, I'll be hiding in bushes behind you."
As soon as we are let outside to get to Hogsmeade, I steer Rose by her shoulders to go meet Scorpius. "Scorpius, this is Rose. You two be good to each other. I'll just go...and find Lily..." I slowly back up.
When I find Lily, she leaves her friends to hide with me behind shops, trees, and snow piles to spy on Rose and Scorpius. They seem to have lots of fun together. They also spend lots of time in Honeydukes.
"Aww," says Lily. "They're perfect-" A snowball hits her on the side of her head.
I turn around to see James Potter and Fred Weasley II giggling at the snowball. Lily whips out her wand, but I stop her. "That's your brother and your cousin. You'll get in trouble," I say. "But I won't." I run towards them with a clenched fist. I swing at James, but he disappears, and I hear a laugh from five feet away. I forgot about his Invisibility Cloak. I sit down next to Lily and see James and Fred reappear in front of us.
"I'll write to Mum about this, James," says Lily.
"No, you won't. You never do," says James.
"Yes, I will!"
I interrupt. "Who threw that snowball?"
James and Fred point to each other.
"Alright, it was me," Fred admits. "Kill me now."
"Get over here." I punch Fred on the side of the face, to leave a bruise.
"Uh-oh," says Lily, pointing behind her. Rose and Scorpius just left! "Come on." She grabs my arm and runs after them.
We find them laughing their heads off in Zonko's. Scorpius is buying Rose a fake wand and some rubber chickens that turn into different random items. When they leave, I hear some familiar voices from behind us.
"Hey, James, what do you think of this potion?"
"Yeah, Fred, we could totally use that."
"Oh, hello, girls, we didn't know you were here!"
Lily says, "I am so sick of James."
"You followed us here?" I ask. "Why?"
"Well, who were you following here?" asks Fred.
"That's not important."
James looks around. "Is that...Rose? Is she with that Malfoy kid? The one whose family hates our family?"
"What? No. That's just someone else." Lily is really bad at lying.
"No way. Wait till I tell Uncle Ron." And James vanishes.
"Oh no. What do I do? Uncle Ron hates him!" Lily seems very nervous.
"Don't worry," I say. "But what you need to do now is work on your lying skills."
"Oh, whatever," she says as she pushes me away. "It's almost time for everyone to head back to the castle. Let's meet up with Rose."
