By the time Rose and Scorpius made their way to the Quiditch pitch the patch was on Rose's broom. As the practice started she went whizzing around the pitch several times before stopping in front of the goalposts. Sydney released the snitch and Albus flew after it. Then she released a bludger and Scorpius and Rachel Boot went at it with their bats. Then the quaffle was thrown up into the air and Sydney, along with Lorcan and Lysander (Luna's sons) raced after it.

It took about thirty minutes of practice before Scorpius was hovering near the goalposts, directly beneath Rose. At this, James muttered, "Scorenthius" and Rose toppled off of her broom. Scorpius rushed forward to catch her, and the next thing they knew Rose was in his arms, her face and inch from his.

Just kiss her! Scorpius was telling himself. Then at least she'll know. It's less awkward than explaining. If she kisses back then I'll know, and if she doesn't I'll become a hermit and never leave my mountain cave, EVER.

Just lean forward I more inch! Rose instructed herself. Then he'll know. If he kisses back (highly unlikely) then I'll be the happiest girl at Hogwarts. If he doesn't all I have to do is roll off of him, and plummet to my death.

Both of them subconsciously leaned in when Sydney zoomed over and yelled, "Rose what happened? Never in the four years that I've been on the team with you have you fallen off your broom. What happened?"

Rose and Scorpius came back to themselves and immediately leaned as far away from each other as possible.

"Damn!" muttered Albus as he watched James, Lily, and Hugo leave the stands.

"Hey," called Lysander, who had zoomed off to catch Rose's broom before it flew off. "Look at this!" he was holding the purple WW patch.

"I know what that is!" said Albus; even though it hadn't worked he still needed to play the part, "My Uncle George sells those at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. They make people fall off of their brooms when the charm is said. I bet the Slytherins put it on her broom to take our keeper out of action!"

"You know," said Rachel, "I thought I saw some Slytherins here earlier, but they're gone now, I bet that they left after they said the charm!"

"Good thing Scorpius was here," said Albus.

"Yeah," said Rose, her eyes meeting Scorpius, and for a minute Albus thought they would kiss, but then Sydney had to stick her nose in, again!

"I'm sure we all agree that Scorpius' actions were heroic," she snapped impatiently, "but, incase you lot have forgotten, we have a match on Saturday, get flying!"

"Ugh, fuck it!" muttered Albus, really annoyed now. Leave it to Sydney to ruin their plan three times in one day!

Lysander passed Rose her broom and she got off of Scorpius' looking embarrassed. After that practice was uneventful and Rose and Scorpius immediately went back to Ravenclaw Tower. Albus, however, went to go and find his siblings and cousin.

"We were so close!" said Lily, frustrated.

"I know, right? Damn Sydney!" said Hugo bitterly.

"Well," said James, "time to move on to Plan B."

"What's Plan B?" asked Albus.

"Scorpius saving Rose from a stampeding Hippogriff," said James matter-of-factly.

"And how the hell are we supposed to get a stampeding hippogriff?" asked Albus.

"We'll ask Hagrid if we can borrow Graytail," said Hugo. Greytail was Buckbeak's son.

"Yeah," said Albus sarcastically, "because it will look totally rational if I go up to him and say, 'Hey Hagrid, can I borrow your hippogriff? I need it to stampede and possibly kill my cousin so that my best friend can save her and they can fall in love.'"

"That is exactly what you're going to say," said Lily.

"Yeah, because—wait a minute, what I'm going to say! Why can't you go and ask him?" asked Albus indignantly.

"Because," sighed James, "Hagrid loves you, and we all know he's a hopeless romantic. If you explain the situation properly he'll lend us Graytail for sure."

"Fine," muttered Albus, "but I'm not happy about this."

"We aren't asking you to be happy about it," said James, "we just want you to do it."
