Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter.
So basically Scorpius is experiencing mixed emotions and finds it hard to think rationally and thus he does the first thing that comes to mind.
I can not write to you anymore.
Scorpius stared at the note shaking his head. It was not right. Nobody should end something without an explanation.
'I do not owe her an explanation.' Thought Scorpius clenching his jaw and folding the parchment, 'Sure I had my share of fun writing to her. But that was when I did not know it was her. This changes everything and I should be glad it's over now.'
Finally having convinced himself this was the right thing to do, he tied the owl to his mother's owl.
'It's over.' Thought Scorpius, 'now I can go back to focusing completely on quidditch and my NEWTs.'
'Scorpius!' called his mother from downstairs, 'Food's ready.'
'Coming!' called back Scorpius.
He let the owl fly and headed downstairs. But even though everything seemed right, it felt horribly wrong.
'Snap out of it.' Muttered Scorpius to himself.
…
'What the hell!' cried Lily shrilly pacing Rose's room, 'he said that? Without an explanation?'
'Yeah.' Muttered Rose in low voice sitting on her bed holding the letter.
'He is so-,' started Lily angrily.
'Right.' Finished Rose softly.
'Rose what?' asked Lily confused.
'He was not my boyfriend.' Said Rose thinking hard, 'It's not like we had a commitment. We were pen pals. Sure I thought we had something and that we clicked but Lily, think about it. If we were actually meant to be, why is it over? I think the answer is pretty clear.'
'Maybe you're right.' Said Lily giving Rose a small smile.
'I know I am.' said Rose confidently, 'Besides I have my NEWTs to worry about.'
'Oh that's not the only thing you have to worry about' said Lily looking guilty.
'What do you mean?' asked Rose looking puzzled.
'Well-,' began Lily starting to giggle.
…
'Quidditch!' cried Rose in disbelief, 'Are you serious?'
'Very.' Replied James Potter, 'It is in your genes.'
James, Lily, Albus, Hugo and Rose were standing in the Potter's yard.
'I can not do this.' Said Rose shaking her head, 'I have ever done this for the team. And it's freezing out here.'
'You have played with us over the summer.' Said Albus firmly, 'Now as you know I am the seeker and team captain, Lily is one of the chasers, Hugo is a beater. You Rose, will make a fine chaser.'
'Give it a try Rose.' Muttered Lily low enough so that only Rose could hear her.
'Look.' Said Albus impatiently, 'the match of Gryffindor against Slytherine will be held a week after we get back and one of our chaser is sick with jaundice. We need a new chaser, not the posers out there waiting to get on the team.'
'So let someone who knows the game enter.' Said Rose rolling her eyes.
'We need someone we can trust Rose.' Said Hugo, 'someone determined enough. Please Rose, you are not bad. You just need some practice. And maybe while practicing I can see more of my big sister.'
Rose sighed looking at Hugo's face.
'You get to kick Malfoy's ass.' Said Lily smirking.
Rose thought for a while. Scorpius's arrogant face flashed into her mind.
'Fine!' said Rose grinning, 'I'm in.'
'You will still have to be at the tryouts.' Said Albus seriously, 'to show everyone that you are not getting in the team just because you are my cousin.'
'Isn't that exactly why I am getting in?' asked Rose dryly raising an eyebrow.
'Mostly.' Replied Albus shrugging.
….
'Morning,' yawned Rose walking in to the kitchen and joining her parents and Hugo for breakfast, 'what time do we leave?'
'Ten.' Replied Ron Weasley not looking up from The Daily Prophet.
'Anything interesting in there dad?' asked Hugo trying to peek into the paper.
'Hermione!' called Ron frowning, 'listen to this. Three muggle families were found dead without any sign of struggle-'
'An unforgivable curse.' Muttered Hermione listening carefully.
'Two muggle-born wizards disappeared three days ago,' continued Ron, 'one of them was found last night in a river. Dead.'
'Suspects?' asked Hermione thinking hard.
'None.' Replied Ron, 'sound familiar?'
'Very.' Replied Hermione shaking her head, 'we will bring this up with the order tonight.'
'Of course.' Whispered Hugo to Rose, 'bring up the interesting things when we are not here.'
Rose frowned, 'who would want muggle-borns and muggles dead?'
'Rose-,' begin Hermione looking at Ron.
'It's nothing the ministry can't take care of.' Interrupted Ron, 'Go get dressed both of you.'
Hugo and Rose left the table giving their parents strange looks.
''First the dementors, then this.' Muttered Ron, 'Something is coming Hermione, better be prepared.'
…
So this was it. In the next chapter they will be returning to Hogwarts.
