Rose Weasley's Forbidden Love
Chapter Fourteen:
Saying Good-bye
It was three weeks after the ball, and winter vacation was right around the corner. Almost everyone was going to go back to see their families. Rose was still thinking about the green masked stranger everyday. He seemed so familiar, and maybe that was why she liked him.
"It has to be Scorpius." said Anna one day that they were at charms.
"Why do you think that he's Scorpius?" asked Rose.
"I've told you about twenty times. One, he has green eyes. Two, he's your secret admirer. Three, he-"
"Anna! He can't be my secret admirer! It just doesn't make any sense!" said Rose.
"Want to make a bet?" asked Anna.
"Okay fine! Bet you three galleons that he is not!" said Rose.
"Okay." and they shook their hands.
Later that day at lunch, Anna brought the secret admirer up again.
"He hasn't sent you anything lately, has he?" asked Anna.
"No. He hasn't." said Rose.
"Strange." commented Anna, she looked like she wanted to say something more, but James walked in, and she forgot.
Rose felt like it was a perfect time to slip away from her cousin and her best friend, so she quickly exited the great hall.
"Hey Rose!" came a voice behind her.
"Hi Scorpius!" said Rose, running to him and hugging him.
He blushed, and so did she, so Rose decided to change the subject.
"Are you going to go home over the holidays?" asked Rose.
"Yup, are you?"
"Of course I am! I'll miss you." said Rose shyly.
"As will I." said Scorpius, winking at her.
More blushing.
"Wheres Anna?" asked Scorpius.
"She is probably kissing James now." said Rose.
"What a surprise!" said Scorpius.
Rose playfully hit his arm, and turned around in mock anger.
"Hey don't talk about them like that. Anna's my best friend." said Rose.
"I know, but I think that they are a bit over doing it don't you agree?" asked Scorpius.
"Well, maybe a little bit, but she's my best friend, and we shouldn't be talking behind her back." said Rose.
Scorpius shrugged.
"I should go, I need to pack my trunk for tomorrow." said Rose.
"See you tomorrow then?"
"For sure! Maybe we can sit together on the train." said Rose.
"Okay, see you!" said Scorpius. And they parted ways.
Rose put the last things in her trunk with a sigh. She didn't want to leave Hogwarts. It was so much fun here!
"Come on, Rose. We should go, or we'll miss the train!" said Anna from the doorway of the dormitory.
Rose picked up her trunk, and carried it to the door, then looked back at her dormitory.
"Come on!" said Anna again.
"Coming!" called Rose, puling her trunk down the steps.
Together, they walked down to the platform. On their way there, they met up with James and Albus and Hugo. The whole group walked into the train, and found a compartment.
It was a bit cramped in the compartment, as Hugo and Albus had also brought their girlfriends. When the train finally came to a move, Rose just remembered about having promised to sit with Scorpius.
"You guys, I think I'm going to go and see if I can find a friend. I'll be back as soon as I can." said Rose, getting up.
"Who is your friend?"
"Tell us Rose!"
Rose ignored the questions, and just left, with a last good-bye.
She walked up the empty hallway, looking in every compartment, until she found Scorpius. He was with a few other kids that were also wearing Slytherin robes.
Should I go in? thought Rose.
In the end, she decided to go in, say hi, and leave as fast as she could. Rose pushed open the compartment. Everyone looked up, and sneered, except Scorpius.
"Who's this Scorpius?" asked a girl near the door."Hi Scorpius." said Rose.
Scorpius looked up from the book he was reading.
"Oh hi Rose." he said, getting up.
"What's your last name?" demanded the same girl.
"None of your business." said Scorpius.
"It is my business, as you are my cousin, and your father asked me to keep an eye on you. And-"
"I don't need your stupid lecture about blood status now." said Scorpius sharply.
The girl opened her mouth to say something, but Scorpius shut the door behind him.
"Am I bothering you?" asked Rose.
"Of course not. Those are my family. They are all pure blood." said Scorpius.
"How come you were sitting with them?" asked Rose curiously.
"Because they forced me to. I think my father told them to make me sit with them." said Scorpius.
"Why don't you come and sit with me?" asked Rose.
"I don't think that would be a good idea." said Scorpius.
"Ah come on, I'll introduce you to my family!" and with that, she started to pull him to her compartment.
"Rose, I don't think-" but she had already opened the door.
Rose's family all looked up to see who it was.
"Hi everyone, this is my friend, Scorpius Malfoy." said Rose, sitting down in her old seat.
James and Albus stared at him.
"Uh hi." said Scorpius. "Rose, can I have a word?"
"Sure!" said Rose, following him out.
"I can't sit here. It will bring trouble to me, and to you. Please, don't try to make me sit there." said Scorpius.
Rose stared at him, and then sighed.
"Why don't you want to meet them?" asked Rose finally.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm a Malfoy. That means that they don't want to meet me." said Scorpius.
"Oh well, I see that this is a lost cause. Will I see you later?" asked Rose.
"Maybe, but otherwise, merry christmas." said Scorpius.
"Merry christmas!" said Rose, trying to sound cheerful. "I'll write to you!"
"Me too. Bye."
Rose slipped back into her compartment. Everyone stared at her.
"What is it with that boy Rose?" asked James after awhile.
"None of you understand, he isn't like his family." said Rose.
The subject was dropped and they played Exploding Snap for the rest if the train ride.
When the train stopped, Rose got out as slow as she could, so that she could be with Anna awhile longer.
"I'm going to miss you so much!" said Rose, hugging her friend.
"Me too, but we'll see each other!" said Anna.
"Write often." said Rose.
"I will, but you have to as well!" said Anna.
"Of course I will!" said Rose, and they both left for their families.
"Mum! Dad!" said Rose, throwing herself into her moms arms.
"Oh I missed you so much!" said Hermione.
"Hi dad!" said Rose, hugging her father.
"Hey Rose!" said Ron, smiling.
Rose looked around the platform, and saw Scorpius with his family. He was walking away, so Rose clapped her hands. Thankfully, only Scorpius heard, and he turned around. Rose waved, and so did he.
"Bye." mouthed Rose.
He smiled, and mouthed 'Bye' as well. Rose sighed. It was going to be a long vacation.
