Year four:

Great Hall:

"Who's that?" Scorpius said as his eyes wandered over the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. She had long strawberry blond curls and made her way towards the Ravenclaw table. When she sat down next to a blonde boy who looked like her, and was quite handsome if he had to believe Bella Zabini who was also looking in their direction, he noticed that they were sitting across Rose and were talking to her.

"Stop drooling over my cousins, both of you," Al said to his friends. "That's Dominique and Louis Weasley. The two youngest children of my uncle Bill. They're one-eight veela."

"How come I've never seen them before?" Bella asked as Scorpius kept on watching and gulped when Dominique's hand went through her hairs.

"They just got here. They went to Beauxbatons but their mother wanted them to be closer to home. Professor Lupin's girlfriend is their older sister. You've seen Victoire, haven't you?" Al said as he tried to pull Scorpius's gaze away from his family.

"Yes, yes!" Bella shouted. "She's one of the most popular models of the wizarding world! No wonder they're family. Dominique and Louis are as beautiful as her. Don't you agree, Scorpius?"

The blonde boy hadn't really listened to the conversation. His eyes were still on the blonde girl at the Ravenclaw table. "How old are they?" he asked.

"Dominique is in her sixth year and Louis in the fifth. We should look out for him. He's a quidditch player, he's a very good seeker."

"Seeker?" Bella asked. "But what about Rose?"

"I guess she'll just give up on her position until 7th year. She's a good chaser as well."

Library:

"Father always thought we'd be sorted in Gryffindor like most of the Weasleys," Dominique said to her cousin Rose. "But apparently we're just like you and Victoire, we're Ravenclaw."

Rose nodded as she kept reading. She knew Dominique was very talkative and she liked that but not when she was trying to study. She just needed some time alone.

"Who's that? He has been looking at us for the past fifteen minutes," Dominique whispered. "There, in the corner next to Al."

Rose didn't need to look up, she already knew who was looking at them and she knew exactly why as well.

"Scorpius Malfoy," she whispered back.

"He's cute," Dominique giggled. "And he has a beautiful smile as well."

Rose's head shot up and she looked up at Scorpius who was indeed smiling. Smiling at her cousin. She didn't know why but it stung a little. Like it had stung when Louis got the new position of a seeker. But they were her family after all, she couldn't be mad at them.

"I think I'll go and talk to him," her cousin whispered and soon Rose was left alone. But this was what she wanted, no? To have some peace?

Quidditch:

"I love these games," Scorpius announced. I can't wait to see the look on Rose's face when we beat her, again."

Al raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about Scorp? You know that Rose isn't a seeker anymore. I told you the very first day Louis and Dominique arrived here that Louis would be the new seeker."

"Really?" Scorpius asked. "I guess my thoughts were somewhere else when you were talking."

"Yeah, with Dominique," Al said as he rolled his eyes. "Rosie is a chaser now."

"Well, maybe I can still tease her a little," the blonde boy smirked before he and his best friend flew up into the air.

He looked at the other player of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, ready to smirk at his favorite victim. But the only problem was, he didn't find her.

"Hey Boot!" Scorpius shouted. "Where's Rose?"

"She quit," he shrugged before the match began.

"She what?" Scorpius whispered.

The young Malfoy flew up in the air his eyes not only wandering over the field to find the snitch but also over the crowd. He wanted to see her face, he didn't know why but he needed to. It didn't feel like a real challenge if she wasn't his rival. But he couldn't spot her red hairs anywhere, not even with Katie or Lysander.

Later that day at Ravenclaw Common Room:

"Where is she?" Lysander asked once he entered and only saw his brother Lorcan and Katie sitting at the fireplace.

"I don't know," Katie shrugged. "It seems as if she's hiding herself from us. I know there's something wrong but she just won't tell me... We've been looking for her as well but there's no way we can find her…"

"I know someone who can," Lysander said.

He ran towards the dungeons and spotted Albus before he walked into his common room.

"Al, wait!" Lysander shouted. "There's something wrong with Rose, and this time it's for real."

Slytherin boy's dormitory:

Albus had been looking at the Marauder's map for about two hours and he couldn't spot his cousin anywhere. When he looked in the bedroom he could only see Katie and a girl he didn't know. His cousin Louis was sitting in the Common Room and apart from him, no one was there.

"Where are you?" Albus whispered to the darkness.

He closed his eyes for a moment and remembered something his father had told him and his brother years ago. The Marauder's map showed every single room in Hogwarts except for the Room of Requirements…

"That's it!" he said as he got up and performed a camouflage spell on himself. He knew that he probably wouldn't run into any teacher because he had the map with him but he wanted to be safe.

He tried to go as fast and as quiet as he could while going to the seventh floor and once he reached the Room of Requirements he just walked past it three times and thought. 'I want to find Rose Weasley.'

Soon the door appeared and when he got inside the room was much bigger than he could imagine. There was a very high ceiling and the room was about twice as big as the Great Hall. On his right side there were a few goals and some quidditch equipment accompanied with brooms and in front of him there was a whole library of books. When he turned his head to the left he could see a red couch and his cousin sleeping on it while holding a book in her hands.

He walked over to her and sat down on the ground, trying to wake her gently by calling out her name.

When she opened her eyes she had to think for a second where she was but soon everything came back to her and she gasped. "O no! It's already dark outside which probably means I must've fallen asleep. The others will be so worried!" she shouted.

"They already are," Albus said as he saw Rose getting up and putting the book somewhere on a bookshelf. "That's why I'm here. They asked me find you but I couldn't. That's when I realized if I couldn't see you on the Marauder's map that you had to be in here."

"I'm so sorry Al," Rose said before she looked at her watch and shook her head. "I should've been back for a while now. Thank you for looking for me but we should both go."

Her hands made their way towards the door but Al grabbed her. "Tell me what's wrong. What's really wrong. Why are you hiding in here and why did you quit quidditch?"

"I'm not hiding in here, you goof!" Rose laughed. "I'm trying to study. You see, when I'm in the library Dominique always comes and sit with me and all she can do is talk about boys. I can't believe she was sorted in Ravenclaw. Besides, I've only been here since today and I was planning to come out once my studying was done. I just fell asleep."

"Then what about quidditch? About the quidditch material around here? Al asked.

"I just," Rose hesitated. "I just wanted to play quidditch so I asked the room for the right equipment."

"Then why did you quit if you wanted to play?"

"Louis has taken my position and Dominique was whining to me about wanting to become a part of the team so I quit so she could take my place," she admitted.

"So you quit doing the thing you love the most for Dominique?" Al wondered.

"Of course I did, she's family. Isn't she? But what I really want to know is with how many points we managed to win from you losers," she laughed.

"Ravenclaw lost," Al shrugged. "Although it was a close shot since Scorpius couldn't keep his eyes of Dominique. But I think a lot of players couldn't. And the females couldn't take their eyes of Louis either so the only ones who really played were them and I of course."

"At least I wasn't missed," she laughed before she took Al by his arm and guided him through the hallways until they both reached their own Common Room.

Ravenclaw Common Room:

"So you see, there's actually nothing wrong with me," Rose smiled after she explained the whole story to her friends. "But I've got to go now. Ancient Runes is starting in ten minutes. I'll see you later!"

"Do you believe her?" Lysander asked once the door was closed and their best friend was gone.

"Nope," Katie and Lorcan answered in unison. "But she'll tell us the real story sooner or later I guess."

The burrow:

It was only a few days before Christmas and the younger Weasleys were all at the Burrow, helping their grandmother Molly here and there but they were all having a break now so Rose, Hugo, Lily and Albus decided to play some quidditch.

"We're the best!" Rose shouted as she high fived with her brother Hugo. "Weasleys versus Potters: 60 – 10," she laughed.

"Hey you guys, can we play along?" Louis and Dominique asked, holding their broom. "We invited someone over we thought you might like as well."

Suddenly Scorpius Malfoy stood next to Louis and Dominique and Albus flew down to greet his friend.

"Oh, but then we're uneven," Dominique said. "It doesn't matter, then I'll wait for my turn. Why don't you join Albus and Lily, Louis? And you play along with Rose and Hugo, Scorpius?"

"No, no!" Rose shouted as she flew down. "I was planning on stopping anyway," she said as she landed. "You can play with Hugo, I'll go and help grandma."

"Thanks Rosie!" Dominique said before she took off in the air.

Rose looked up and gave her brother a thumbs up before she walked off. She didn't really want to stop, she just…

"Why are you avoiding me?" she heard him ask as he stopped her by taking her shoulder. "Tell me why. Tell me why you quit quidditch. Why you quit talking to me."

Rose turned around and looked into Scorpius's grey eyes.

"I'm not avoiding you," she said. "It's just that you're not my friend, so why would I bother talking to you? All we do is fight anyway. I just try to stay polite because of Al."

"Not your friend?" Scorpius asked, venom filling his voice. He was starting to get angry at her words for some reason. "Then what about last year? When I stayed by your side the whole night after that quidditch match."

"That was because of Al, you said it yourself. Didn't you?"

He looked down into her azure eyes and had to admit that she wasn't lying. He had said that. "Then why did you quit quidditch?"

"So Dominique could get in the team. I wanted to make her happy," she shrugged with a smile on her face. "But I really have to go now, my grandmother is probably wondering where I am."

He watched as she walked away and he could feel the words get out of his mouth before he could stop them.

"You better stayed on the team. You're a much better chaser than she is. Not to mention a better seeker than Louis. I have no idea where Boot's brain was when he replaced you."

"You just say that because you loved to bully me during the game," she said as she waved at him with the back of her hand. "Bye Malfoy, have fun."

Ravenclaw common room:

"We're going to the quidditch match," Lysander said.

Rose was looking out of the window and watched how the rain hit the glass and made strange trails on it. The last time she had a real quidditch match it was raining as well. She missed those times if she was honest.

"I'm not going," she answered.

Lysander turned his head and nodded at Lorcan and Katie who were waiting for him. "You two go on. I'll be there in a minute."

Both Ravenclawers nodded before they left the Common Room. Lorcan had to play today so he had to hurry. If it wasn't for that he surely would've stayed. Katie on the other hand just followed because she thought that Rose could use a little talk with Lysander.

"Rosie, Rosie, Rosie," Lysander murmured as he sat down next to her. "Tell me what's wrong with you. Tell me what's going on in that amazing brain of yours."

"Nothing," she whispered. "I just don't like watching quidditch anymore. That's all."

"Because you can't play yourself. Because you regret leaving the team, am I right?"

"Why is it that you always see right through me," she whispered as a lonely tear found its way down her cheek.

"You're my baby sister," he said before he pulled her into a hug.

"And you're my big brother," she smiled against his chest.

During the quidditch match:

"Is she mad?" Rose shouted as she watched Dominique flirting with Oliver Finch-Fletchley during the game. Ravenclaw wasn't winning at all and still she had the time to go and flirt with someone? It just got Rose's temper to the surface. Louis wasn't doing anything either, he was just flying around circles while the other seeker was clearly going after the snitch.

"And that's 90 points for Hufflepuff while Ravenclaw still has only 10 points!" Lysander shouted through the speaker.

"O give me that," Rose said to her best friend as she took the speaker in her hands.

"Dominique, stop that, right now! What kind of player are you exactly! Your father should see this! And my father and our uncles and aunt Ginny, they'd probably kill you! And you Louis, is your brain infected with Wrackspurts or something? The other seeker has been going after the snitch for five minutes now. Do you have a brain at all or are you just trying to show everyone how handsome you are? Lorcan, look out for that bludger at your left by the way! And Boot, what the hell were you thinking when you put up your team. Is Dominique infecting your brain as well? Or should I bring all of you to the Hospital Wing because maybe you are infected by Wrackspurts?"

"Wrackspurts?" Lysander laughed. "You clearly spent too much time around my mother. But I must agree, maybe she is right though. They're all wrackspurted around here."

Rose gave the speaker back to him and made herself as little as she could. "I shouldn't have said all of those things when everyone could hear me, right?" she whispered.

"I think you should have," Lysander said. "Now everyone's going to buy the quibbler because they want to know what Wrackspurts are. My grandfather is probably going to send you a box of chocolate frogs for that," he joked.

Great Hall:

"Who do you think you are, humiliating your own cousins like that in front of the whole school?" Albus suddenly heard a familiar voice shout. "I swear I'll tell my father about this and yours. Or maybe your mother. She'll be very happy to hear about this!"

"Dominique, please calm down," Louis said. "Rosie is right, we weren't paying attention at all and you know she has her father's and grandma's temper."

"What are you talking about?" she screamed at her brother. "Are you taking her side now? She told you you had Wrackspurts infecting your brain! Didn't you hear that!"

"Of course I did," Louis sighed. "Everyone heard it."

"Exactly my point. You were probably doing this so Boot would make us quit and you could get your place in the team back! Because that's what you are, you're just a jealous little girl because you aren't as beautiful or as good as Louis and I!"

Rose's fork fell down on the ground and she stared at her food.

"Rosie?" she heard Louis whisper but his older sister put her hand on his mouth.

"Don't you dare to say anything to her ever again!" she shouted. "And if you will, I'll make sure our parents disinherit you!"

The whole room was looking at her as she walked away and Louis was the first one to say a word.

"Rosie, please don't believe her. You know she has the temper of grandma but ten times worse. You know she didn't mean those things, don't you?"

"Of course I do," Rose smiled as she got up. "Excuse me please, I just remembered I forgot something in the library," she said to her friends who didn't know what to say at all. They were just dumbfounded by the way the always polite Dominique had become mad.

"I'll have to go and get her again tonight," Albus murmured to himself, not knowing Scorpius had heard him.

Later that night:

"She has to be in the room of requirements," Albus whispered to himself. Everyone else in his room was already asleep but since students were still allowed to go outside at this time of the evening he decided to wait. Maybe Rose had just gone for a walk after all and he didn't want to take a risk for nothing.

About half an hour later someone in the Slytherin Boys Dormitory got up and used a camouflage spell before walking towards the seventh floor. This person however was not sure if he was going the right way since he had never been here before but after the stories his father had told him about his past he knew just what he had to do to get into the room. He couldn't ask his best friends since he was already asleep and he wanted to get to the girl alone. He wanted to talk to her.

Once he had walked past the wall three times a door appeared and he quickly got inside the room. It was a very large room. He could see quidditch material and even some goals, something that seemed as a part of a library but the one he was looking for wasn't here, he thought. Maybe he had asked for the wrong thing.

He turned around and when he wanted to open the door again he could hear sobbing coming from behind him and then he saw her. A curled up form in the darkness. She was sitting against the window and watching the rain, her hand touching the glass.

"Why are you here?" she whispered not looking at him. "Why did you come and look for me? Because you want to know the truth? Because you want to know that I actually come and hide here, that this isn't just a place to do my homework or to play quidditch from time to time? Do you want to know that I hide because I'm just like Dominique says? A jealous little girl?"

"You're nothing like that," Scorpius said as he stood next to her. The girl seemed quite sleepy and didn't really notice it was him instead of her cousin Al. If maybe she'd just look up at him…

"I am," she whispered. "Don't you remember that time at grandma's house when we were playing quidditch? I didn't leave because I had to. I left because Dominique was there. And it was clear to me that Dominique had become friends with the person I can never be friends with. Maybe I'm just jealous because of that. That she gets all the attention. That she's the one who's able to play quidditch. I always smile you know, because I try to hide it from you and the rest. I don't want to worry anyone. But sometimes I just need to get it out of me and then I come here, like a coward. That's probably why I didn't belong in Gryffindor…"

"I think it takes a lot of courage to always be happy and to never show your friends how you really feel. It takes courage to sacrifice things you love for the ones you love. But maybe there's just a lot more intelligence in your head than courage. Which doesn't mean you're a coward, not at all."

She smiled, her gaze still resting on the raindrops.

"Thanks. You can go back now, I'll just sleep here. Don't tell anyone about this, alright? And let's never talk about this again. I hate myself when I act like this," she laughed.

"I promise I won't tell," Scorpius said as he crouched down. "And I'll leave you if you promise to go to bed right now."

"I will," she said. "I just want to watch the rain a little longer."

"Just not too long," he whispered against her hair before he placed a kiss on her head and bid goodnight.

"Goodnight Scorpius," she whispered before he left the room.

So she did know it was him after all.

Transfiguration:

"Excuse me professor Tooh," Jason Boot said after he had knocked on the door. "I'd like to speak to Rose."

"Of course, just don't take too long," the professor said before he continued his lesson.

"What is it?" Rose asked after she had closed the door behind her. She didn't like missing class, even if it were just a few minutes so she wanted him to hurry up.

"Dominique quit," he said. "We need a new seeker."

"A new seeker? What about Louis?"

"He has become a chaser. We both agreed that's a better place for him."

Later that day Rose walked up to her cousins and almost hugged both of them to dead. Everything was alright again, there were no hard feelings. They were family after all.
