Chapter 6:
Rose read the reply from Pandora. It seemed that she could live with them. Rose grabbed the parchment and quill. She needed to write and finish the letter before breakfast came.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy,
I know that I haven't been friends with Scorpius for a while but I wanted to inform you that I am fine and in stable condition. I am going to be leaving St. Mungos in a couple of days. I don't know if Scorpius told you, but on the last day of 6th year, I attempted to end my life. I am fine now but I will be seeing a psychologist regularly. I assume you do not know what a psychologist is but it is a doctor that studies the brain and behavior and the type that you talk to about your problems. I hope to be fully healed soon. Also please don't inform Scorpius about this letter.
Sincerely,
Rose Weasley
Flashback to Summer going into Third Year:
Rose and Scorpius were playing Quiddich. Suddenly Mrs. Malfoy was calling them in for lunch. Rose looked at Scorpius. "Race you to the house?" She asked. Scorpius smiled in agreement. Rose then flew down speedily and reached the door first.
"Ha. I beat you. I'm the fastest flyer in the UK!" Rose yelled happily.
Scorpius pouted. "Are not! Your Uncle Harry is." He said.
"Well I'm the fastest in our generation then." Rose argued.
Then Mr. Malfoy came out. "Stop argueing kids. It's time for lunch. So get your butts in the kitchen."
The "yes dads" and "yes Mr. Malfoy" filled the air.
End of Flashback
Rose dropped the quill and folded the letter and put it in the envelope. She then shook her hand because of the ache of writing. She then heard a knock on the door.
"Come it." Rose said. The door opened and her parents walked in. Her dad's arm was around her mum's waist. The looked pale and had bags under their eyes. It seemed like they haven't been sleeping well. They deserve it.
Rose sat up. "What are you doing here?" She asked. Rose didn't really want to talk to them at the moment, but that wasn't going to stop her parents. They wouldn't care about her wants.
Her mum spoke up. "Rose, we're here to talk." Her dad nodded.
"Well talk. Breakfast should be here soon." She replied with malice. Rose then folded her arms with attitude.
"Rosie, we wanted to talk to you about what you said yesterday. We wanted to appolosize. Everyone wanted to but we figured if we brought everyone, it would overwhelm you." Her dad said. So they wanted to talk about their mistakes. This would be interesting.
"So talk. I have some things to add, but you first." Rose said. She wanted to tell them that she wouldn't be going home with them. She was seventeen so it didn't matter if they said no.
"Um. We never knew that our behavior effected you so much. We just figured that it would be easier to ignored the problem but in the process we ignored you." Mum said while tearing up and Dad nodding in agreement. It was complete bull.
"That's completely bull shit. How could you not know or realize that ignoring me would effect me? Are you both stupid? I get that in your days, Slytherin was the bad house but its not anymore. Get over it. An you know what, I don't really want to hear this conversation and your ridiculus explanations. It doesn't matter to me because once I get out of here, I'm moving in with the Zabini's. They said it was okay." Rose said. She could feel her temper rising and her face growing red.
Her parents looked a mixture of angry and hurt. But Rose didn't care. They didn't care when she was hurt when they were treating her badly.
"Don't talk to us that way Rose. We admit we were stupid but we can't change the past. And you are not moving into that Slytherin infested house. I won't stand for it!" Ron Weasley yelled. His face was the color of his hair and his eye bulging out.
"The hell I'm not. There's no way that I'm moving back in with you. You are the reason I slit my wrists. If I move back, I'll probably do it again because you will revert back to the uncaring and cold parents you are. And the Zabini's aren't evil just because they all belong to the Slytherin house. I'm in Slytherin and I'm proud to be. They are really nice people and at least the Zabini's care and love me. In fact they said I'm family. Mrs. Zabini tried to get me to call her Mum all the time. In fact I think I will because she's more of a Mum than mine. She did all of the motherly duties, thought me about make up, boys, hygiene. She even was there when I got my first period!" Rose yelled.
She looked at her parent's hurt faces. Her Mum put her hand on her Father's shoulder. "Maybe we should just let her for a while." Mum said.
Rose looked at her Mum with a thankful expression. Suddenly someone knocked on her door. "Ms. Weasley, breakfast is ready." A nurse said.
"Well that's breakfast. I got to go." Rose said.
