ScorpiusRose-"I think my mother disapproves more than my father does, actually."-for Amy(xx-random-xx)

Happy (early) Birthday

thanks Schermionie for the prompt


She's crying but she doesn't really know why. Well, actually she's crying because the magical law school refused her candidature, but it's not the real cause.

Scorpius finds her and takes a sit beside his sobbing friend.

"What's wrong Rosie?"

She wipes the tears of her eyes before muttering a quick nothing.

"Is it because of the law school?" he asks. "Your cousin told me you've been put in the waiting list."

"Yeah, I wanted to go so badly," she says weakly.

"Trying to convince yourself?"

"You know very well that."

And it's true Scorpius knew that Rose's first career choice was not Magical Law but Curse Breaking, he had asked her why she was attempting that school, with all the difficult exams when it's wasn't her first choice. She had answered that it was expected.

"Does your parents really disapprove you wanting to be a Curse Breaker?" he asks, curious.

"I think my mother disapproves more than my father does, actually. My mum has kind of a life all set for me, and of course she has planned different options but all involve laws and none curse breaking."

"Well you should be happy you failed, in a way. Not that failing is fun or anything."

"I have not failed..."

"How have you not failed?"

"I... have sabotaged the exam."

"Of course Rose Weasley couldn't fail," Scorpius says with a laugh. "A bit Slytherin of you, isn't it?" he jokes.

"But you choose to fail which means you have no doubts it's not for you, so instead of crying because you disappointed your mother, why wouldn't you come to Hogsmeade with me?"

She looks at him and says, "This way my parent's won't be jealous, I'll have disappointed both of them."

But she's smiling, because doing things for herself and not because it's expected feels good.
