Christmas had just ended, and all the students were heading back on the train to Hogwarts. As Rose and her family got through the platform though, she spotted Scorpius a ways ahead. Albus of course bumped his way through the rest of his family, bumping into James a bit harder, on his way to meet up with his friend. Rose couldn't help but blush some, especially when Scorpius had just turned his head towards Rose's direction, she spun away to hide her red face behind her red hair. Ron however noticed his daughter's strange behavior and asked if something was wrong. "Nothing daddy. It's nothing." she told him simply. Ron was about to add in something but Hermione interrupted him by hugging her oldest daughter tightly in her arms in goodbye. It was nearly eleven o'clock now, which meant the train would be leaving at any moment. Rose waved her goodbyes to her parents and brother as well as her cousin and aunt and uncle and hustled her way onto the train following her cousins close behind.

They were nearing Hogwarts soon, and Rose was found sitting with a couple of other Gryffindor girls which happened to be just across the way from her cousin Albus and Scorpius. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the next section, but after her friends interrupted her thoughts she quickly shook away her feelings and followed them into the train's restroom to change into their robes.

After she was dressed and started back out towards her section with her friends, she passed by a section where her cousin James and his friends were hanging. James noticed her however, but didn't make any recognition to her, that is, until he noticed a piece of parchment fall out of her robes. The last thing on his mind was to call her back to return the folded piece of parchment, so instead he got up, grabbed the paper, unfolded it and quickly skimmed through it with great curiosity. It was the letter that Rose meant to send to her father! James' eyes widened, and his smirk grew wider. One of his friends asked him what he had there, and of course James showed him, and for the rest of the train ride, the boys definitely had a kick out of the short letter.

After just barely a week of being back at Hogwarts, the students were already packed with homework and tests to study for. Rose didn't completely mind, as she was busy in the Great Hall working on one of her essays for Potions class. All of a sudden, a whole flock of owls came flying into the Great Hall with parchments and other goodies in their claws. Yep, mail was here. Rose looked up momentarily, but figured she wouldn't get much, she quickly went back to her homework. Surely enough though, she was wrong. As a big fat letter pounded right in front of her, nearly scaring her out of her seat. She looked at it curiously, seeing who it possibly could be from. "Daddy?" she opened the letter carefully and unfolded the paper to read what it said:

Rose,

I got your letter a couple days after we dropped you off at the train station. It must have gotten lost or something, but anyway... I cannot believe you didn't tell me about that Scorpius Malfoy while you were home with us! You know how I feel about that family! You know what that family did to us! What that little brats father did to us! Like I told you before, The Malfoy's are nothing but trouble. I don't care how sweet that Scorpius kid seems, I don't even care if Albus is best friends with him! You are a Weasley. Weasley's don't befriend Malfoy's. Think about that.

Have fun in school now, and be sure to study hard and beat that Malfoy kid's ass, I know you will.

Love you,

Your Father

Rose stared hard at the letter for a few minutes before setting it down with her shaky hands. How could he have known? She didn't even send that letter. Unless... She quickly reached down in her robes to find nothing but an old Bertie Bott. Then it hit her. She got up, and stormed her way to the only other place she knew she could find the only person who could be responsible for this kind of thing. "Fairy Lights!" she yelled to the portrait which held the Fat Lady. As soon as the portrait moved open for her, she stormed inside to find none other than her cousin James along with his horrible friends. "James Sirius Potter!" she screamed at him, her hands held on her hips furiously.

"Sup, cuz?" he simply said with a snicker. "Get your letter from home yet?" he laughed louder with his friends.

"Oh, shut it! You knew about my letter that was not supposed to be sent. Now tell me, how did you get it? Or more importantly, why on earth would you send it in the first place?" James kept silent, still snickering with his friends. "James!"

"Oh come on, Rose, you know your dad was gonna find out sooner or later. Better yet, Malfoy's dad." he snorted out some more laughter on the subject. Rose wasn't even flinching a smile though. She was furious, you could tell in her red face she was not happy, not one bit. "Oh Rose, come on now. It was a joke. Ha, ha. Funny? You see? But, like I said, it wasn't like you could have hid that little secret of yours for long... especially with the way you've been acting whenever he came around..."

Rose wrinkled her forehead then, in thought. Maybe James was right. After all, Rose was no good at keeping secrets. Not these kind of secrets anyway. Even when her dad did know now, it wasn't like she could change or do anything about it. Not to mention it was very likely he had shown her mum the letter as well. Hell, Hugo probably somehow got his grimy little hands on it. There was nothing she could do now. Nothing she could do now but, face with the consequences. And just hope that no one else found out except for James and his little crew.
