A/N I'm really sorry for the long week. My computer broke and I had to get a new one and I had to rewrite this chapter and a chapter to my Swedish fanfiction. I hope that this chapter was worth waiting for. I'm saying it again, English is not my first language, Swedish is and because of that my grammar is not perfect. I would appreciate if you took the time to send me a PM with advice. A/N
Chapter 4: The letter
It was in the middle of August and the summer vacation was almost over. Rose wanted it to be the 1th of September, she wanted to meet Scorpius again. She hadn't seen him the whole summer. They wrote letters to each others but it wasn't enough. A letter wasn't the same thing as seeing each other for real, but she was still happy that she got them. She couldn't believe that he actually kept his promise and wrote letters to her everyday, that he cared for her. This summer had changed her, she knew how love felt, the fact that he was a Malfoy and she was a Weasley didn't matter for them. The fact that their parents didn't like each other didn't matter either, the only thing that mattered was the fact that they were in love, and that should be enough. Rose sat in her room and was reading a bock about advanced magic that she had to read because of a school project when she heard a knock on her door.
"It's open!" she shouted and her mother opened the door, she had a barn owl on her shoulder. Rose smiled and putted her book down on her small table beside her bed and stretched out her arm so that the owl could fly over to her.
"Hi Archie, how are you today?" she asked the owl and petted him on his left cheek.
"Archie?" asked her mother.
"Yes it's a nickname for Archimedes, he is the owl of one of my close friends." was Rose answer and Hermione nodded.
"That explains everything because he have been here a lot lately, here is the letter by the way." said and her mother and gave Rose the letter and leaved the room. Rose took out the letter from the envelope addressed to her and started to read it.
Dear Rose
Thanks for your last letter, it's good to hear that you're alright and are having a good summer. How are you doing and how is Albus? Have anything interesting happened since your last letter? We had a family reunion yesterday. My grandparents from both sides of the family were there and almost everybody from the Black family was there, but wasn't many people from the Greengrass family there, only my grandparents and my aunts, but I didn't mind. I usually don't like family reunions but this time it wasn't that bad but it wasn't near as fun as your family reunion last month sounded, on my there was no quidditch, no games, no songs, no present swapping and no other people my age. The only thing we did was to sit around a big table and talk to each other, I couldn't even hear what the people on the other side of the table said to each other. Fun reunion right?
Rose stopped to read for a moment and started to imaging Scorpius sitting at a big table (almost as big as one of the tables in the great hall), looking bored and only wanted the reunion to end. She felt bad for him because she knew that he didn't like to sit at the same place for more than an hour. She was like that to, it was the urge of a quidditchplayer, you never want to sit still and if you do you'll get crazy. Her thoughts went back to the letter and she continued to read.
I'm sorry that I have to say this but I can't come to Diagon alley tomorrow because my family is going there next week instead. On the other hand, I got a letter from Albus that said that you are going to the quidditch world cup. My family is going to be there to so hopefully we will see each other there instead.
When she first started to read that part, she felt sad but when she found out that he was going to the quidditch world cup she was over the moon. Quidditch world cup and Scorpius, the two best things in her life, it would be perfect. She imagined herself and Scorpius at the world cup, talking, laughing and looking at the game together as the waived the flags of Ireland. It would be perfect. She smiled as she began to read the next part of the letter.
I also want to tell you that I got a new broom, a Firebolt 500! Now we have the same kind of brooms so I think that the quidditch matches this season will be interesting and I hope that Gryffindor and Slytherin will meet each other at least two times. What do you think, will I finally catch the snitch or will you still win over me this year. I really want to believe that I can catch the snitch but I actually think that you'll have a better chance then me.
She stopped to read again. He was so sweet, he really said that he thought that she would have a better chance to win than him, no other person she knew would say that, rather the opposite, especially the boys. One of the examples were Austin Finch-Fletchley, the captain of the Hufflepuff quidditch team. Last year, he said that Gryffindor would loose because we had girls on our team, they had won the game with 210-20 and he apologized after the match. She stopped to think about that event and started to read again.
I don't really have more to say. Send me a letter whenever you like. Take care.
Love/ Scorpius
Rose finished the letter and smiled as she thought of a great reply.
