Rose Pov

I rolled over and groaned as my alarm started ringing. Fred had told me last night that he expects the whole team down at the pitch at six o'clock sharp for training. I grumbled as I made my way down. When I got there I saw the rest of my team looking equally bleary eyed.

'In preparation of our game in 2 weeks I'm going to be training you especially hard.' His words were met with a groan.

'That means training every morning at six except for Saturday and Sunday when I let you off and instead demand that you all run 3 laps of the lake. I don't care if it's snowing you run the laps or you risk losing your spot to someone who is willing to work for it.' Fred finished with uncharacteristic seriousness.

I trudged up to breakfast with Lily with mud plastered to our faces. I didn't even mind that I was sweaty and disgusting from the training session however gruelling, it had turned Lily back into her old self, bad mouth and all.

'Fred is such a pig. He stood there while he made us do laps. I thought being Captain meant you had to work the hardest not be a lazy sod.' She said with vehemence, I couldn't help but agree with her. Fred hadn't been kind in this morning practise not caring that we were all a little out of shape from the holidays and most definitely not joining in with the torture.

As soon as we entered the Great Hall I watched Lily's eyes scan the Slytherin table, looking for a pair of grey eyes. When she found them she rushed out of the hall claiming that she didn't look alright and that she was going off to look more presentable. I glared at Malfoy, why did he have to have this effect on her?

I sneaked into the chamber a note clutched tightly in my hand. The second the door swung shut I tore open the letter.

I'm sorry I don't have good news. I still need you to keep an eye on Scorpius Malfoy but you can lessen up a bit. Rose Weasley needs to be followed due to recently uncovered evidence. Soon everything will go back to the way it should be.

Thank you and remember that you're my best friend in the world.

XOXOXO

I sighed wondering if these lies will ever truly stop. I reread the letter making sure I hadn't missed out anything subtly placed there that was crucial. It wouldn't be the first time. I had only ever had two rules in my life. Reread every letter he sends you and never to look back at your actions or the guilt would overtake you thus rule you and wreak everything.

Last night I looked back.
