CHAPTER 7

"You can't be serious" said Albus when James told him and his cousins what Rose had said.

"I am serious, Sirius is my middle name" he said

"Oh Merlin James, that joke is so old" said Lilly

"I know right" he said laughing but suddenly stopped because Rose came walking down the starts, slowly and steadily trying not to miss and step and trying not to fall. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying she sat down next to James and said "Hey"

"Hi Rose" said James wrapping his arm around her and saying sorry and kissing her on the forehead

"Yeah, Rose we didn't mean to hurt your feeling, we just, you know wante-"said Hugo

"Wanted to protect me, I know James told me, but none of you can change my feeling for Scorp, so, this weekend is a Hogsmeade weekend and we are going on a date together and I don't want any of you coming to anoyy-"

"Umm, Rose you do realise that Mum and Dad are coming to Hogsmeade this weekend to se-" advised Hugo

"WHAT!" she said jumping up and frightening James "oh sorry James. YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! Oh no what will I tell Scorp? Oh no, oh no, oh no, this can't be happening, NO!" she said and started pacing the room thinking of what to do.

"Rose we can help" said Lilly

"Thanks Lill but how am I going to avoid Mum, Dad, Uncle Harry and Aunty Ginny?"

"Rose, relax, take a deep breath" said James "we will help you we all have to think"

They put their minds to think of Rose could do for about 10 minutes until… "I'VE GOT IT" said Hugo "we can all stay with our parents and then when they leave to do some shopping you can sneak off with Scorpius"

"Hugo you are a genius" she ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug
