That night, I slept on the couch. I could have slept in my bed that Mum and Uncle Harry set up, but I didn't because I didn't want to prove this was all real.

Mum said that she and Dad had been divorced since the end of September and that just because they're not together, doesn't mean that they're still not a family. I wanted to know why they divorced, but I didn't want to hurt Mum.

I laid there and stared at the dim white ceiling. Before, no room in our house had a white ceiling. The only thing that was white were the tiles on the bathroom floors on a day where Mr. Jones was visiting. Every room had a personality. My room had purple walls decorated with glow in the dark stars and red/gold/blue butterflies. Hugo's room was light blue with Quidditch posters and various stars. Our parent's room which we used to call 'The forbidden' had a large king sized bed with green sheets, white fluffy pillows, and a large brown blanket. The room had the same colored blue walls like Hugo's room and a starry ceiling like mine. It was called the forbidden because we could never open the dressers or anything. Only the door was able to be opened. And it was only to be entered when there were scary dreams or thunder with lightening.

I remembered when Hugo was 2 and I was 4. It was pouring down rain and thunder was booming. Hugo and I slept with Mum and Dad. Mum read us Genova's Theory and Dad was falling fast asleep. When Mum noticed he was in a deep sleep, we built a fort around him and when he woke up, he panicked and thought he was kidnapped.

It was my last memory of happiness before he changed.

I don't know how it happened, but it did. He went from Daddy to Dad or my father. He stopped being that guy who sneaked us candy or cookies before dinner. He was no longer the guy who secretly taught me to ride a broom and play Quidditch. He became the guy who never laughed when I was around. He didn't care anymore.

That night I didn't sleep until late because the tears never stopped.


I glanced at the clock. It was 7:14 in the morning. Mum wasn't up and wouldn't be until way after 9. I didn't know who would try to come her before 9, but I stood up and opened the door.

It was Al.

"Morning Al." I said.

"Morning Rose." He said glancing around."Is your mum up yet?"

"No."

"Rose I'm sorry about not telling you, but Lily..."

"Yea. Yea." I said rolling my eyes. "Hey. You want some breakfast? I think there's some cereal..."

"Actually I was thinking you and I could go out for breakfast to get your mind off the divorce. There's this great new place I know of."

"That's sweet Al. Are we going to get Hugo?"

"Actually I went to see Hugo first since he was closer." What? The apartment is much closer to Al's home than the house. "But Uncle Ron said he couldn't be woken up. I guess that's expected since I did get there a little early." Yea. 7:14 is EARLY.

"OK...Let me get changed and we can go." I said. "Sit down." I opened my trunk and walked into the bathroom.

"Rose. We're related. You can change in front of me." He said.

"I know we are, Al. But I'm still a girl. Plus I need to brush my teeth. I don't want to go out with bad breath." I made a move to grab my wand off the table next to the bathroom door, but Al stopped me.

"There's no need Rose. I'm here."


Al and I stepped outside into the cold. I thought he had brought a broom, but no. He had defended his stand against me taking my wand heavily, saying I was crushing his manhood by thinking I couldn't have been protected by him. Eventually I agreed since I was getting hungry.

"Hey Al, where's your broom? Or did you take the enchanted..."

"I walked here." From Hugo's to here is pretty freaking far by foot.

We began walking away from the apartment complex and into some woods, but it wasn't thick yet. It might be, if we went in farther.

"Tell me the truth Al. There is no way your lazy ass could walk from Hugo's to here at 7 in the morning." I said. He stared at me. And then I noticed something different about his green eyes. They were fading. The emeralds I had known throughout my childhood had become faint and the look in his eyes was new to me.

"Rose." He said. The tone was different. The tone wasn't normal, it wasn't something a cousin should ever hear. It was...seductive...

"Al!" I yelled slapping his across the face. "Snap out of it!" I yelled. I thought he would yell I was kidding Rose...but he didn't.

He snatched both of my wrists.

"Lily said you would be cooperative." He said staring into my eyes. I looked away, not able to stand the harsh stare of someone I once knew. "I told James and he said you would be like this!"

"What are you talking about!" I yelled at him.

"I love you Rose! Ever since...Ever since..."

"AL!" I yelled. "I'm you COUSIN! You...You're..."

"I'm in love with you Rose!" He yelled. "I don't care that..."

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!" I screamed. "I'm YOUR COUSIN! NOT SOME CHICK ON THE STREET!"

"But we're no longer family Rose!" Al said cheerfully swinging me around by the wrists.

"WHAT? YES WE ARE...Wait...You don't think because of the divorce we're not family..."

"Of course!" He yelled crazily. "Don't you know that Uncle Ron found out you're not his child?!" He stopped swinging me around and I stared at him. I made him let go of my wrists and I pushed him into a tree.

"Don't you dare tell me I'm not Ron Weasley's child." I said glaring at him. "My mother would NEVER cheat on him!" I screamed. He looked back up at me, only this time there was no life in his eyes and the rest of his body laid limp.


AN: No particular POV

Hermione Granger-Ex Weasley woke up after 11 in the morning. She stepped outside of her bedroom to see her daughter Rose wasn't there.

"Maybe she went out to clear her mind." Hermione said to herself. She looked out on the small balcony to see if Rose was there. The only thing out there was the clear blue sky and a lawn chair. Hermione looked around for a note and saw no trace of one.

She walked into the bathroom and saw last night's clothing was in the laundry basket.

"Maybe she went out for a walk." Hermione concluded. But as she stood sipping her coffee, she noticed one thing wrong.

Rose's wand was still in the bathroom.

Hermione took her wand and avapporated to the Potter Residence.

She appeared in the kitchen in front of Harry, Ginny, and Harry.

"ROSE!" Hermione yelled at them. "ROSE!"

"Hermione. Calm down..." Ginny said. "Rose isn't here..."

"Herm..."

"ROSE! SHE'S GONE!!!" Hermione screamed at them. "SHE'S NOT AT HOME!"

"She could be out..."

"HER WAND IS STILL WITH ME!" Hermione yelled showing them the wand she had taken from the bathroom. All three stared at the wand in her hands.

"Maybe she forgot..."

"Rose doesn't forget." Ron said. "She wouldn't..."

"Ron." Harry said. "It's possible for Rose just to be..." Ron turned at Harry and grabbed him by his shirt.

"My daughter does not FORGET, Potter. She's HEAD PREFECT and she's got a good head on her shoulders. She's not going to forget her wand when leaving the HOUSE!" Ron yelled in his face. "THIS IS MY DAUGHTER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SHE DOESN'T GO...."

"Ron! Calm down..." Ginny said pulling at her brother's arms. "Harry was just saying. We know Rose. She wouldn't just forget her wand, but the divorce might have been..."

"You really think a divorce would make Rose forget to her wand?" James asked stepping into the kitchen. "This is Rose we're talking about. Not some average girl who runs away." James said. He picked up an apple. "Did you know Al is gone too?"


The snow was sparkling across the ground.

I was running. Faster than ever.

Footsteps followed, not stopping for anything.

I was getting hot fairly quickly, even if it was snowing.

The footsteps were louder than before.

I didn't think my heart could keep up.

A large rock was in sight; just sitting there getting hit by snowflakes.

I ducked behind a rock and hoped for him to go away.

Steps ran by and for a moment there was silence.

I shut my eyes and hoped he wouldn't notice I wasn't in front of him. I couldn't just run back. I had no clue how to get out of the damn woods. The snow must have covered up the tracks by now and I wasn't familiar with this area. What was he going to do with me?

Silence ended. Twigs were being stepped on and now coming closer, and the fluttering wings of birds were now afoot.

OH. He's back. But who was he? He wasn't the Al I knew. What could have changed him...?

The final crunch of a leaf was close. Too close.

I held my breath and tried not to move. What was he going to do with me?

"Rose?"

I ran as fast as I could.

At least before everything when black.


It had been 3 hours since Rose was discovered missing by Hermione. Harry and Ron were already out looking for Rose and Al. Ginny, Fleur, and Molly were making frantic calls to everyone they knew. The kids were all in the living room. Dominique and Roxanne were staring at the ground sniffling. James stared out the window. Victoire held onto Teddy, crying. Louis was playing with the younger kids while Lily sat on the ground, painting her nails red.

"Where are they?" James asked out loud. It was the first for anyone in that room to speak.

"If we knew, we wouldn't be looking for them, would we?" Lily said putting her hands up to the light. All James could do was glare at her.

Suddenly the door burst open and they all ran to the door. Dominique noticed Lily's cool face faltered a little.

"WHERE IS HE!?" Yuki yelled. Her father tried to restrain her.

"Yuki, calm down! they're out looking for them now!" Her father yelled holding her arms back. Ginny walked out and stared at them. "I apologize for my daughter's behavior. She's just worked up about the whole ordeal..."

"He did it! HE DID IT! HE STOLE ROSE!" Yuki yelled hysterically. Hermione ran towards them.

"WHO?" Hermione asked holding Yuki's face.

"Albus SEVERUS POTTER." Yuki yelled.

"PFFT. HAHAHAHAHA." Lily laughed. "Al? Take Rose? Puh-lease. He's such a softie, he could never hurt her. Besides we all know Al could never hurt Rose because she's so skilled... Why are you all staring at me?" she asked noticing everyone was staring.

"Where are they Lily?" Louis asked.

"How would..."

"LILY LUNA POTTER. TELL US WHERE THEY ARE." Victoire said.

"Why..."

"You did this didn't you?" Yuki asked. "You planned it all out. May's plan that failed, that was the plan for her so look like the bad guy in front of Dominique, to throw her off."

"What?" Lily asked looking nervous.

"It's always been you, hasn't it?" Dominique asked. "Always..."

"What do you mean?" Roxanne asked.

"YOU!" Dominique shrieked, about to pounce on Lily. Teddy held her back.

"Calm down Dominique!" He yelled. "Talk to us rationally!"

"How can I be rational when there's a crazy psycho in the house!?" Dominique screamed at Teddy.

"Don't call me a crazy psycho you whore!" Lily yelled. "You're the one who is 3 months pregnant!"

Everyone froze and stared at Dominique.

"You're pregnant?" James asked.

"How...Who?" Victoire asked. Dominique pulled away from Teddy and brushed herself off.

"That is not my main concern at the moment." She said. "It's Lily."

"Oh, Dom Dom. You're so sweet..."

"Oh shut your mouth you crazy bitch." Dominique said glaring at Lily.

Lily's eyes widened and she began to glare back at Dominique.

"You don't scare me anymore." Dominique said looking at Lily straight into the eyes.

"I think it's the pregger hormones..." Louis whispered into Roxanne's ear, who nodded in agreement.

Lily flicked her head to the side to move her bangs. Dominique did the same and pushed Lily away.

"Tell us where the fuck they are." Dominique said.

"Dominique!" Ginny yelled rushing to Lily who was on the floor glaring at Dominique. "I can understand you're upset but there is no reason to be violent!"

"OH there's a reason alright!" Dominique yelled. "Lily..."

Suddenly, Lily punched Dominique in the stomach.


"Rose? Are you up yet?" I slowly opened my eyes. Everything was very blurry at first and I could see a mop of platinum blond hair over me.

"Uh-huh..." I mumbled regaining my sight. I only knew two people with that kind of hair. I really hoped it was my first guess. It wasn't.

"Oh good. You're awake now." Draco Malfoy was sitting on the bed next to me. I felt a cool wet towel on my forehead. "You fell unconscious while you were running."

"Oh...um..."

"I guess I frightened you when I said your name, but I didn't think you would take off like a broom with no control. It took me awhile to find you, but I did. And good thing too. If not, you might not have survived with the fever you have now."

"Thank you." I said. Draco Malfoy is nice. A lot nicer than the old stories...

"I bet you're thinking about those stores about me." He said. Oops. Is he a mind reader?

"Uh..."

"Well, good news for you. I don't hate everyone anymore. I'm more...pro-life than pro-arse." He said smiling. I smiled back.

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy." I said. He saved me from Al. Phew. I wonder what's happened to him..."I..."

"It's not problem Rose. And call me Draco." He said. "I hate to ask, but who or what were you running away from?" I wished he hadn't asked.

"I don't know how to explain this, but...It was my cousin, but at the same time it wasn't." His eyebrow went up. "It was like he was possessed."

"Oh. I didn't see anyone. I wonder if Scorpius did." Scorpius? Your beautiful son whom I love and adore?

"He went looking?"

"The moment I brought you in, he rushed me to take care of you and asked all these question. And finally when I convinced him you were stable and went looking in the woods for, in a very serious tone, the one who did this to you while it was snowing." WOW...

"Really? I should go get..."

"No. You stay put, Rose. You still have a fever and I bet you're starving." My stomach automatically grumbled. "I was right. I'll go get some soup and more water."

Mr. Malfoy...I mean Draco, is...WOAH. It's dark outside...

Maybe it's the snow. Let's hope it's because of the snow...

"I see you've taken in the scenery outside. It's 6 o' clock if you wanted to know."

"6 o'clock...Do my parents know I'm here?" I asked.

"What do you mean? I thought you were going out and your family knew about it..."

"No. I left with Al and then he started being weird and I ran away...I need to tell them I'm here..."

"I'll appavorate you home." Draco said. I was about to agree, but the door slammed open. It was Scorpius.

"There's a crazy person outside screaming for Rose." He said staring at his dad. "Oh. Hello Rose." He said.

"Stay here with Rose. And I'll go see what's going on." He said grabbing his wand and heading out the door. Scorpius moved closer towards me, but stood still.

"You can sit if you want..." I said patting the bed. "I don't bite."


AN: Once again, no particular POV

Draco Malfoy stepped out into the snow. Everything was covered in snow; including a boy with a red knitted hat.

"ROSE!" The boy yelled. "ROSE!"

Draco ran towards him, thinking he was looking for Rose for good reasons.

"ROSE!!!" The boy wailed again. Draco grabbed his shoulder and he turned around.

"Oh shit..." Draco said staring into his eyes right before Al fainted.


Rose's POV

"So, how's your break been?" Scorpius asked.

"Considering all I've been though, it's more eventful than last year; but I wouldn't say better." Actually, being with him makes it so much better than last year's. "You?"

"OK. I guess." Hmmmm....

"What did you do last year?"

"I went to my grandparents."

"How was it?"

"...Eventful to say the least. They set up an enormous party just so I could dance and mingle with potential wives and in-laws on New Year's Eve."

"Oh..." I said. WHY WAS I NOT INVITED?

"B-But I didn't like any of them. Too..."

"Too...."

"Too...much for me. The party was too extravagant.I wanted a simple Christmas with a tree and presents. Not some party with crazy insane women."

"Extravagant?"

"The party was in my grandparent's huge mansion with a bunch of strangers, everything was formal and the music was loud, ..." He was describing what I wanted. It was exactly how I was going to live my life.

"Even after I left at 11, they still kept going all night and no one left until 3AM..." I wanted that. I wanted to party until the sun was knocking on the door to appear. I didn't want what I had now, birthday parties until 10 and then eveyone leaves because work. And everyone includes family.

"I see..." I said. "Excuse me." I rushed out and opened a door that looked like it lead to the bathroom. It was a closet.

"Are you looking for the bathroom?" I nodded and he opened the next door.

"Thanks." I said shutting the door on his face. I sat on the side of the tub.

What was I thinking... Did I really think Scorpius was everything I wanted?

"Scorpius?!" I yelled from the bathroom.

"Yes?!" He yelled back loudly. "Are you alright!?"

"um..." Oh shit. i just called him while I was in the bathroom. "I was just wondering if you ever wanted to get married..." I said. Great. Now he thinks I'm weird.

"Are you OK...."

"I'm fine. Just answer my questions."

"Yes. and I want to have kids too. 3 kids." Me too. OK. We're doing good. What's the difference between 2 and 3, right? Wider hips than I already....Sad face....

"Where do you want to live?"

"Anywhere with a nice neighborhood." I was thinking the city.

"What do you want to do for a living?"

"...I've been thinking of being journalist. I actually thought of something good and I've started liking it." That's a nice job. "Rose...Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Do you like me?" ....I... "Like...Like Like....me. More than friends..." How.. "Because...I do."

I slammed open the door and kissed him.
