Chapter 12: Silence

Rose was about to finish her homework. It was the beginning of November and all the trees around Hogwarts had been changing color from green to red, orange and yellow. Rose liked fall, she would relax and start counting down the days to Christmas break, but this year was different. Silence was the only thing she heard from her family. Her father and mother didn't send letters and all her family members ignored her when they saw her. Once a week, her family owl came and dropped owl candy at her, homemade owl candy that her mother used to make for Ymir. Because of that, she didn't give up her hope when she thought about her, she was the only one that sent her something, even thought it wasn't a letter. If you didn't think about that, it was only silence. She hated that word, before, she didn't mind it but now when she found out how it felt to be ignored, she started to hate the word. She heard her cousins talk to Hugo, she knew that they would stop if she turned around.

"Last week dad sent me a letter and asked if I wanted to come home for Christmas. How about you?" she heard Hugo ask, and she didn't care about their conversation anymore. She knew it, her father didn't love her anymore, he didn't even send a letter asking if she wanted to come home for Christmas. He was really serious when he meant that she wouldn't be a part of the family anymore, not until she broke up with Scorpius. A single tear felt, was she never going to talk to her father again? She took a few breaths and started to work again. Tomorrow was a Saturday and she wanted to have all her schoolwork done so that she could spend the day with Scorpius. As she was thinking, she forgot what she was doing. Was she really writing about The Second Wizarding War?

When Rose woke up, she saw that everyone else was gone. How long did she sleep? She went up and saw the time, half past nine in the morning. As she dressed in her normal clothes, she wondered why she slept so long. Was it because she had a few nightmares or was it because it took her an hour to fall asleep again after each one? She went down to the common room and saw many people sitting and talking, including her brother. She walked past him without looking at him and she walked out of the common room. She walked around in the almost empty hallways and went outside. It was a cold cloudy day, but it was rather warm for fall. She saw the multicolored trees, red, golden yellow and orange. Two of the colors are standard Gryffindor colors, and the third is a mix between them. She should be proud of the fall, all of the Gryffindors were. It was their season, and hers too. Even though she felt deep in her heart that she was, she didn't feel like a Gryffindor. Like she said when she confronted her family, she is a snake, not a lion. Everyone knew that you couldn't be both.

She was sitting under a bright red tree near The Forbidden Forest, almost sleeping when she heard his voice.

"Rose! There you are, I've been locking for you!" Scorpius said as he sat down beside her. "How are you?".

"I don't know, I had those strange thoughts again" she said.

"Again? Which ones this time?" he asked.

"The ones about my family and a new one. You know that fall is the season that Gryffindors are proud of, I don't feel like I have the right to be proud of this season anymore. I said that I was a snake back in The Great Hall." she said.

"Do you regret it, or anything else?" Scorpius asked, a little worried.

"No, I regret nothing. I don't care what my family says, I love you." she said and she got a hug from him. She immediately felt a little calmer in his arms and she got that feeling again. She felt like if she was flying, not on her broomstick, it felt different.

"It feels like if everything is my fault. Your family only act the way the do because I'm your boyfriend." she heard Scorpius say to her.
"No, it is not your fault. Do you hear that? They chose the way they acted, it wasn't your choice. I know that if you could choose how they would react, everything would be totally different." Rose said to him, she didn't want him to think that it was his fault.

"But Rose, you're the only one suffering, my parents doesn't even know that we're together yet." he said.

"I don't care about that Scorpius, I think it's better that they don't know." she said to him, telling him the truth.

"Are you sure?" he asked and Rose nodded.

"I don't think that it's the right time to tell them, it would only make things worse. Once things starting to get better with my parents, we'll tell yours." she said and he nodded back, she saw that he still was a little bit sad, like if he still was blaming himself. She didn't say something, because if she said something, he would say that if it wasn't his fault, she would believe that it was her fault instead.

"Okay, if you say it like that." he said and Rose nodded back. She didn't want to think of how it would be if both their parents were against them, even thought her mother wasn't against it. "How is your family by the way, have your cousins been talking to you?". She looked down at the ground and shook her head and answered;

"Silence".
