Chapter 11: debates and decisions

Hugo Weasley was lying in his bed next to his long-time girlfriend, Summer Green. He was thinking about what his parents had told him almost two years ago now; they had found a way to find Rose. He was happy that they would be able to find her because he missed her so much. Yet he also hated her. He hated her for just getting up and going without so much as a goodbye to him, some king of explanation. He hoped that she would come home though. He would forgive her; he just wanted to know the whole story. He wondered when his parents were going to put the plan into place.

As though his mind was read an owl began tapping on his window. He glanced it way before looking at the clock; 5:30am. Who would be sending an owl at 5:30 in the morning? He looked at the owl again, it seemed oddly familiar. He slowly crawled out of bed so as not to wake Summer. As he made his way to the window he finally recognised the bird. It was Rose's owl! He quickened his pace and wrenched open the window. The owl flew inside and held out its leg. Sure enough on the letter attached to it, was Rose's handwriting.

He tore the letter off its leg and gave him some food and water from his own owl's cage. The bird however, did not take flight again. It just sat there as though waiting for something else. Then Hugo summarised that it was probably waiting for a reply. He nodded and motioned for it to follow him out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.

When he was there he sat down at the kitchen table and looked at the letter in his hands. Did he want to open it?

After what seemed like an eternity, but was only five minutes, he unfolded the letter and began to read. The first thing he noticed were the words 'guilty and missed you'. So she had missed him after all. He began to read from beginning to end.

By the time he had finished he had silent tears running down his face. He could literally feel her emotion coming out of the page. Her guilt, her regret, her self hate and her happiness and love. It was obvious that she loved Scorpius with all her heart. Their father was stupid for not realising that in the first place. This explained why their father had been so off and detached for along time after she had gone.

He felt touched by what she had said about him. She missed him but she thought that he would never forgive her? Of course he would forgive her, she was his sister. He also knew that she was dead on about his feelings of confusion and hurt, and Kimberley felt exactly the same way. He knew that he would have to tell Kimberley, if only to give her some hope that she would see her again.

On the upside she was happy and had her own child and expecting two more! He was so happy for her. She had found happiness; maybe hot a happy ending yet but happiness all the same. Her happy ending would be being forgiven and making amends with the family. Maybe he could help her get that happy ending.

What should he do? Should he obey Rose and keep this quiet or should he do the right thing and tell their parents? He decided that he would send her a letter back and ask for a meeting. That way he could see for himself what was going on with her and maybe even see her daughter.

He took a piece of paper and a quill out of the draw next to the cooker, sat back down and began to write.

Rosie,

Of course I forgive you! Rosie I love you so much and I have missed you too. You were right I did want to know why; I was so confused and hurt when you left. As you can imagine I dealt with it the way I knew best, wild parties and getting with every girl I could. I don't want you to feel guilty you have nothing to feel guilty for, just know how much we have all missed you so much.

It is obvious that you love Scorpius and that is enough for me. I am happy for you Rosie; you have found that level of happiness that not many people have. I can completely understand your decision to go, if it had been me and Summer (you remember her don't you? Brown hair, dark eyes, I had a huge crush on her for ages. Well we finally got together, believe it or not) Anyway, if it had been me and Summer I would have done exactly the same thing.

Wow I can't believe that you already have a daughter and you're expecting twins! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.

Listen, I promise that I wont tell anyone but I was wondering of we could meet up as soon as possible? I don't have work for the next three days because of shift changes, I'm on during the night and it would be really great to see you again Rosie.

All my love Hugo xxx

Hugo sealed the letter and attached it back to the owl's leg. The owl hooted and nipped his finger affectionately. Then it took off through the open kitchen window. Hugo sat there watching the sunrise for a while. He hoped that Rose would agree to see him. He sat there deep in thought when a pair of slender arms encircled neck wrapping them around his chest.

"Pretty sunrise, but I think that we could think of better things to do rather than watch the sunrise" said summer in a husky voice that made Hugo grin goofily. He let her lead him back to the bedroom for his usual wakeup call.

Hugo lay in bed with Summer after completing his usual morning routine before she had to go to work.

"Hugo honey, what's wrong?" she asked tracing around his Celtic tattoo that he had had done at one of those parties he used to go to.

"Huh? What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well… its just that… you seemed a little distracted through that and… well… I wasn't as good as it usually is. What's up?"

Hugo sighed. "I don't know, Summer. I guess that I just have a lot on my mind now."

"More so than last night? Hugo, what were you doing in the kitchen?"

He sighed again. "Yes, if you must know I just heard from my sister this morning. For the first time since the day before she left." He realised too late what he had said. "Oh shit! I wasn't meant to tell anyone. Promise me that you won't breath a word of this to anyone!"

"I promise. This is great Hugo!"

"I guess. The only thing is that I have to keep this from mum and dad and when they find out they are going to kill me!"

Summer giggled. She got up and began to make her way to the bathroom for a shower.

"Can I join you?" Hugo asked hopefully when he heard the water running.

"I don't think so. I only have an hour to get ready. And if you join me I doubt that I will make it to work until my morning break," she said laughing.

"Fair enough," he replied going downstairs to make breakfast.

"Wow," was all Scorpius Malfoy could say as he laid beside his wife. His breathing and heart rate were slowing down again.

"Humm, you weren't so bad yourself," Rose said giggling.

"It hasn't been that good since you were pregnant with Emily…" he trailed off just realising what has been right in front of him for the past week. "Wait are you pregnant again?"

Rose looked slightly put out. "Way to ruin the moment." She sighed again. "Yes I'm pregnant again but this isn't exactly how I wanted to tell you."

"Oh really? Well I couldn't think of a better way to find out to be honest." He grinned.

"Humm, so that's how you guys think is it? I actually wanted to tell you over a nice candle lit dinner tonight after Emily had gone to bed."

"Well, you could still do that, but instead of telling me we can just celebrate it instead," he wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.

She swatted him playfully on the arm. "I guess it true what they say about guys thinking about it every twenty seconds!" she glanced over at the clock. "Err, Scorpius…"

"Umm."

"I really think that you need to go and get ready for work now because it is already half past eight," she said waiting to see his reaction. Scorpius hadn't been late to work since the day he started and she knew that he wasn't going to start now.

"Oh shit!" he said jumping out of bed.

"HEY! Watch your language! Emily is picking up everything we say lately."

Scorpius just grunted in response before going to get a quick shower. Rose just shook her head before going downstairs to make breakfast.

She made her way into the kitchen to find Emily sitting at the table.

"Hi sweetie, did you sleep well?" she asked as she popped some bread into the toaster.

"Ah ha," was her reply as she stared out of the window. Rose just shook her head. She was in one of her day dreams and nothing could bring her back to reality except food, which wasn't ready yet.

Five minutes later the toast popped out and she had just finished buttering it when Scorpius came in.

"Can I have that to go?" he asked a little frantic.

"Way ahead of you," she said handing him his slices on a piece of kitchen roll.

"Thanks honey, you're a doll. See you tonight," he said giving her a soft kiss. "You too Emily, be good for mummy. See you later," he said kissing the top of her head. He quickly picked up his wand and disapperated to the ministry.

Rose laughed as she watched him leave while she put some more toast on for her. She cut Emily's into soldiers and set them down on the table while peeling herself an orange. She didn't know why she had a craving for oranges, when she was pregnant before it had been chocolate and pancakes.

After she had breakfast and gotten both herself and Emily dressed and ready she went back into the living room and gave Emily some toys to play with so that she could get on with the housework. She was just washing the dinner plates when she saw the return of her owl. She quickly opened the window. It flew through it and landed softly on the table and stuck out its leg. She quickly grabbed Hugo's reply to her letter and began to read. When she was done she breathed a sigh of relief.

He did forgive her, and not only that he wanted to meet up with her! She glanced back down at it again.

'Summer… Summer… Wait a second, Summer Green? Oh Hugo! He had wanted that to happen for as long as I can remember. I leave for three years and all of a sudden everything has gone topsy turvy! Well at least he wants to see me again; that has to be a good sign right?'

she grabbed a blank piece of parchment and self-inking quill from the kitchen draw and wrote him a short reply;

Hugo,

I would love for us to meet up, could you come here though? It's just that I can't apperate because it is too far and the international floo takes too long. I would take a portkey but I can't travel like that while I am pregnant. So if you could come here either today or tomorrow around two o'clock, that would be great. I will write my address on a piece of paper for you.

See you soon Rose xxx

She folded it up with her address attached to it and gave it back to her owl. It didn't look happy about going back but went anyway. Rose watched it go before checking on Emily. When she was sure that Emily was still happy she went back to cleaning the kitchen.

Hugo had to wait two hours for her reply and when her owl came back it dropped the letter it was carrying and went to sit on top of the fridge. Hugo tried to get it to come down but it refused to do so for fear of being sent back. He quickly glanced over the letter and the address before grabbing his coat and going to the international floo network in Devon.
