A whistle screamed , a jerk forward and the Hogwarts Express began its smooth journey towards the castle

When Rose and Scorpius reached the Quidditch field, the game had already started.

"Her Rose!"

"Hey Lucy!"

"The boys are all out on field. We're cheerleading. Care to join us this time? You're in a dress after all."

Rose grinned.

"Nah. I've got my shorts on. No way am I missing a game."

She ran out onto the field with Scorpius striding behind her.

"Rose Weasley! Splendid to see you!" Thomas Hendricks landed and walked up to her. "Boys!" he yelled and the rest came down. "Stephen let Rose play Chaser. You can take a break."

"Anything for Miss Weasley." Said Stephen giving her a wink and walking off the field.

"Right boys. Up again!" yelled Thomas.

"Woah Thomas!" said Rose, grabbing his arm before he flew up. "This is a friend of mine, Scorpius. Can he join in?"

Thomas glanced at Scorpius. "Erm yeah sure." He said.

"Great." Replied Rose, grinning, then she zoomed up ahead of them.

"Scorpius, was it?"

Scorpius nodded.

"We'll give you a part later eh. Just sit out with Stephen for a bit. Get a feel of the game first or something." Then he zoomed off.

They played for awhile and Rose glanced down and noticed Scorpius sitting with Stephen looking quite moody.

'Probably tired.' She thought.

They called for a break and some of the boys sat out. Rose didn't come down, preferring to zoom between the hoops instead.

"ROSE!" she halted in mid-air.

It was Scorpius and he was holding his bag.

She zoomed back down and landed infront of a grumpy looking Thomas and Scorpius and a timid looking team of boys.

"What's going on?" she asked, then looking at Scorpius, "Where're you going?"

"Home." His face was flushed with anger and his soft tone didn't match it.

"What happened?"

"Nothing. Just tired."

"Scorpius, what happened?"

"I'm just tired!" he began to walk away.

"Thomas what happened?"

"I don't know? He doesn't want to play I guess."

Rose glanced over at Scorpius retreating back and ran after him.

"You don't need to leave with me if you want to play, Rose. Go on. Stay."

"No. I'm leaving with you."

"No stay if you want to play."

"I don't. If you're going I'm going with you."

He was about to protest but she interrupted "I'm going with you, Scorpius."

They walked out in silence. Scorpius kicking every pebble he saw.

"Look Scorp, I'm sorry about the game and stuff."

"Wasn't your fault."

Silence.

Rose was so uncomfortable. She'd never seen Scorpius this angry and for some reason she felt as if it was her fault. Her fault for inviting him. Her fault for not making sure he played. They parted cordially enough with Scorpius trying to make her laugh after realising how upset she had become. She gave him a hug when he dropped her home and ran up the stairs to her appartment. Keira was walking around in her pajamas with a mug of coffee in her hand.

"How'd it go?"

"Horrible."

"He's a jerk?"

"No."

"Spill."

The girls sat down and Rose poured out everything from the slightly awkward meal which eventually smoothened out to the disasterous game and she harped on the bad ending being her fault.

"Don't be ridiculous. It wasn't your fault."

"But it feeeeels like it. Like he's angry with me or something."

"He recognised that it wasn't your fault."

"Doesn't change how it feels."

"It's nothing to get upset about, love."

"But I feel awful."

"I know, I know." Keira gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead.

"How about we watch a good chickflick."

"On the tellyfiz?"

"Oh if that's what you want to call it, alright."

Rose smiled. She could always count on Keira to cheer her up but she couldn't help but feel down. Her heart was heavy. Seeing Scorpius so angry had upset her more than she expected. Not only that but she couldn't believe that Thomas and the rest would blatantly leave Scorpius out. She rubbed her eyes and flicked away her tears then turned her attention to the tellyfiz. Keira had just put on How to Lose a Guy in 10 days – her favourite.
