Hello People!

Chapter 4

When Rose Weasley awoke she was in the infirmary. She wasn't in pain though. She was just incredibly tired.

The boy who saved her was nowhere in sight. She couldn't even remember who it had been.

Then she saw James. He had it head resting on the bed and it looked as though he was sleeping.

"Jamesie! Wake up!

"Rosie! You're awake! Thank Dumbledore!" He gave her a hug.

Wow she thought! How long has it been?

"James, how long have I been here?'

"A day. It would've been less if you didn't faint. Madam Pomfrey had no choice but to keep you. She thinks it just slight trauma. Oh yeah this came in the mail." he handed Rose a letter.

Rose read:

Dear our precious Rose,

We are so sorry we couldn't have checked on you. It's been so busy! We Hoped you are fine. James has been so wonderfully taking care of you! We are so grateful that you have each other and that you watch out for each other. Oh my we miss you! Write back soon,

Mommy and Daddy

"James how long have you been here?"

"Since you fell, no one else was allowed to visit. Lucky you fell on a Friday, I didn't have to leave for classes and such. I only left at mealtime and curfew. I tried to stay as much as possible. I promise, Rosie."

"What about him?' seeing James's puzzled look she continued, "The boy who caught me, did he visit?"

"Rose, I caught you. I saw you fall and dove down. There was nobody else."

"But..." She was so confused she knew James was lying. Someone else caught her. So why was he taking the credit.

"Look you should rest. It's time for dinner anyhow. You'll be released in the morning. Maybe then it'll come back to you.", without he kissed her forehead and left.

And sleep she did.

...

Rose was falling and then she wasn't. Again a boy had caught her. She couldn't see his face.

"James" she said weakly.

The boy turn and then she could see his face. Shock ran through her.

"Sorry to disappoint you princess" replied none other than Scorpius Malfoy."

Rose woke suddenly and lay awake for the rest of the night.

Confused, shocked, and hurt.

...

When Rose Weasley was released in the morning she literally ran to Gryffindor tower. She had to get their before James woke up.

So she snuck into the boy's dormitories and found James trunk. She rummaged through before finding what she was looking for. In the blink of an eye she put everything back in place and left for the common room.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good", she whispered.

The Marauder's map appeared and she looked for one name.

This is silly she thought it's early in the morning, everyone's asleep. But it was Sunday. She had a whole day to find him, confront him, and maybe thank him.

...

At noon James went down to practice quidditch. Trials were in two days.

"Rose, it might be good if you tried again. You know, face you fears"

"I'm fine, I'll just write to mum. Go on without me" After awhile he did, saying he'd be right back. But it was quidditch, so he'd be at least an hour.

That's all the time she needed. She found Scorpius's name in the trophy room. Interesting place she thought. He was alone.

With that she grabbed the map tucked in her pocket and left.

...

When she arrived Scorpius was just staring at the trophies, reading the names. With a leap of courage, Rose spoke.

"Scorpius Malfoy?" He looked at her making her flinch.

"Yes, what do you want", he replied coldly.

"Hello I'm-"

"Rose Weasley, I know"

"Uhh. You were at the flying lesson weren't you? The one at which I fell" He looked at her now, almost daring her to ask the question.

"Perhaps", now he was just staring blankly. As if trying to hide something.

"Do you know who caught me?"

"It was James, your cousin." he said, simply.

"No it wasn't. You lying I can tell" he looked rather shocked, as if surprised she talk to him that way.

"Then I don't know who it was. Everyone says it was him."

"You are lying again. SO fine, you don't have to tell me. I just wanted to thank them for saving my life." with that she went towards the door frustrated and hurt. She was almost to the door way when Scorpius spoke once more.

"You're welcome" was all he said before staring at the floor.

That was enough for Rose. For now.

She left the room.
