I know it's been a while since I have updated and im sorry for that…thanks for the reviews DaisyWillLiveForever, Sockjuice0603, meandmeandme, kittyhawk09, potterlover, Guests…keep reviewing dear readers! now off to the story. Btw I loved all of the names that you guys gave so I made a mix. It is Sanguisscotsieglobalin. That's a long name huh?
Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter.
Rose walked beside Lily as Albus, Hugo, Lily and her went to visit Scorpius.
'I don't understand why he's here.' Muttered Hugo throwing a glance in Rose's direction and not bothering to be quiet, 'we should have checked his robes for a strangling cactus.'
Albus shrugged but did not say anything.
'What a sweet brother I have got.' Thought Rose fighting the urge to roll her eyes.
Rose's heart started pounding as they entered the waiting room.
'Hugo!' Rose recognized her mother's voice.
Hermione rushed towards them and pulled Hugo in to a hug.
'hey mum,' said Hugo his voice muffled.
Rose looked at Hermione who's eyes were red and swollen. She had been crying.
'Not a good sign' thought Rose, her palms starting to sweat.
'Ron and Harry are talking to the healer,' said Hermione starting to blabber, 'And I was just sitting here waiting. Oh I see Scorpius Malfoy is here, I had no idea you and Rose were friends, my dear. How is-'
'Aunt Hermione.' Said Lily quietly, 'what happened to Rose?'
'Rose.' Mumbled Hermione in a daze, 'yes.'
'Well?' demanded Rose unable to take it anymore and earning herself a glare from Hugo.
All of them looked at Hermione waiting for her to reply.
'She has-the healer said she has Sanguisscotsieglobalin.' Replied Hermione almost tonelessly.
'what's that?' asked Albus frowning.
'A disease.' Replied Hermione her eyes brimming with tears, 'Rare. Only half a dozen cases so far and all of them died. The healers said they would do everything they could but-'
Hermione broke down. Lily and Hugo rushed to her side while Albus went to get water.
Rose felt numb. One sentence rang in her ears.
All of them died.
….
It was visiting hours. Scorpius barely lifted his head as Rose's family entered. His latest blood coughing episode had left him weak and dizzy.
When they had told him that he had Sanguisscotsieglobalin, a disease that had an extremely high fatality rate, he had taken it surprisingly well.
He was stunned but somewhat accepting of his fate. Because there was nothing he could do. It was all up to the healers.
His eyes scanned the people in the room. He frowned, feeling his headache return.
He had expected Rose to show up, but she wasn't here. The truth was he had really wanted her to be here. He was used to seeing her every day since the last few months and now that he didn't, there was an odd hollow feeling inside him.
'Oh great,' he thought dully, 'here I am on my death bed and it is now that my heart decides to fancy Rose Weasley.'
But even as he thought that, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the air to the right of his bed seemed to move (or rather ripple). Scorpius was sure that if he reached out, his hands would touch something solid. Satisfied, he turned to Rose's family as they all started talking. His headache had dissapeared.
…
Finally it was time for everyone to leave. Scorpius waited until the last visitor, Hermione had left closing the door behind her and then said aloud-
'All right Weasley. What is it this time? The cloak or a charm?'
Rose lifted the disillusionment charm from herself.
'I thought so,' muttered Scorpius smirking, 'so here you are huddled around my death bed huh?'
'Don't!' cried Rose shrilly, 'Scorpius, I am so sorry.'
'Yeah.' Said Scorpius pretending to sigh, 'you could have warned me that you had a fatal disease lurking inside you.'
When Rose didn't reply, Scorpius turned to look at her and saw that her eyes were brimming with tears.
'Oh crap.' Thought Scorpius mentally kicking himself.
'Hey.' Cried Scorpius, 'I was kidding Weasley. Don't go flooding the hospital now.'
Rose tried to stop the waterworks.
'Wow,' said Scorpius chuckling, 'I am dying and it is you who is being comforted.'
'Stop being nice to me.' Said Rose.
Scorpius wasn't sure that he heard her right.
'Excuse me?' he asked confused.
'Go back to being the complete arse Malfoy.' Mumbled Rose, 'I cant take it if you are nice to me when it's all happening because of me.'
'Well aren't you nice?' murmured Scorpius watching her.
Rose sat quietly for a while, her eyes still burning as the tears threatened to pour out again.
'I should go.' Said Rose standing up quickly, 'I'll come by tomorrow.'
'Unless I die overnight.' Teased Scorpius grinning.
'You cant!' cried Rose, 'I will dig you out and kill you again if you do.'
Rose turned to leave when Scorpius remembered something.
'Wait.' He called reaching under his pillow and taking out a small book.
'Here.' Said Scorpius holding it out, 'I wont say I haven't read it because I have.'
'My diary.' Whispered Rose taking the little book.
'Yeah.' Said Scorpius, 'best to give it back. You know, incase.'
'Don't.' warned Rose, 'I expect to see you tomorrow.'
Scorpius watched as Rose left the room. His headache had returned.
'Damn fool,' he cursed himself, 'Seven years you have been around her and this is the year when something had to happen.'
But he was glad that it was him who was suffering. Rose Weasley didn't deserve it.
…..
Rose stared at her diary as she thought of all the things that had happened. The switch, the arguments, the new friends, the breakup, confessions, realizations, her new feelings for Scorpius.
She took a quill and begin to write.
Dear Diary,
I have so much to say…..
Rose wrote on and on. About every single detail. And right before she closed the diary and tucked it in to Scorpius's trunk, she wrote one final line-
Don't let him leave me and go..
She lay on her pillow and listened to the rain and repeated the same words over and over in her mind.
'Please don't let him die. Please don't take him away. Let there be another way.'
Slowly she drifted off to a disturbed sleep.
…
Scorpius frowned as the bright light awoke him. He kept his eyes tightly shut. He had specifically asked the healers to keep his curtains drawn at all times.
'Hello!' he called loudly feeling very annoyed, 'can someone shut the damn curtains.'
He waited for someone to flood the room in darkness but they didn't.
'Do it yourself.' Snapped another sleepy voice.
Scorpius's eyes snapped open as he recognized the voice. Too well. He looked around the familiar room which he hadn't seen for months. The trunk at the foot of the bed, the four poster bed, Josh Carson on the second bed in the room.
Scorpius was not only back at Hogwarts, he was back in his own Slytherin dormitory.
'No way' he muttered as he glanced down to see his old body.
He jumped out of bed, swaying slightly as he adjusted to the heavier weight and ran to the mirror.
His eyes scanned the pale features, the platinum blonde hair in disbelief and delight.
He was back in his own body. But that would also mean-
'Rose!' whispered Scorpius, 'Oh shit!'
….
