S+R Chapter 13

Scorpius came back to his hotel room after a long day. Draco was there, waiting for Scorpius in the lobby waiting for, you guessed it, Scorpius.

"Scorpius, where were you at?" Draco spat. His breath smelt of Firewhiskey. He was drunk.

"I was in the courtyard. It's about a few blocks from here. Father, why are you drunk?" Scorpius led his father to the elevator, because they couldn't floo into the rooms. Once the elevator doors closed Draco started yelling.

"Scorpius! I can't bare the thought of losing your mother so I have a few drinks. And I am not drunk. I just had a few more drinks than I should have had. Okay understand Scorpius?! Don you understand me?!" Scorpius couldn't do anything so he just nodded lightly. Once they reached the their floor, Draco tripped and land flat on his face. Scorpius quickly kneeled besides his father and whispered…

"How's not drunk sound now?" Scorpius lifted a hazy, lump of drunk human and led him to his room.

"Alohamora" Scorpius whispered. The door opened and he put Draco on his bed.

"Good night father," Scorpius quickly left the room and for his own room. Except he didn't go to his room. He hopped back into the elevator and a familiar face appeared in the doorway, blocking the doors to close.

"Hi, Opal. How are you?"

"Well, great at the moment. How are you holding up? I haven't seen you since the funeral,". She jumped into the lift and she pressed the emergency button.

"Listen, Scorpius. I know how you feel. I lost my grand-mother and mother to being a Auror. Astoria took the job, knowing the consequences,".

"Wait who's your mother?" Scorpius had been to a funeral a few months ago, to lady's funeral but he couldn't remember the name.

"Lilka Dmitria Petrovsky. Why?"

"I remember going to that funeral. She had long, brown hair and a black rose on the middle of her right fore-arm," Opal looked as if she just witnessed her own death. The albino looking girl quickly turn into a vampire, milky color. Her lips got a tad darker, looking like a Scarlet red. Her blue eyes suddenly turned very cloudy and her hair had gotten limp. The elevator seemed to get cold to.

"Jasmine Harris. You know her?" Only this time it was hostile and it didn't have her British accent on this time. She had a hostile tone of Russian.

"Slytherin 6th year. Yes I do," Scorpius's voice cackled. The mood had changed and now it felt like death its self.

"Ask her about the Black Rose when you go back to school," She pressed the emergency button back in and it came up to the floor she had pressed to.

"Bye-bye Scorpius. Have a nice time in Paris. You're going to need it later on," She left as quickly as she came, and without a trace after she left. The room felt a tad better. A little warmer. Then Scorpius felt a little more like a human instead of a vampire. He quickly reached the lobby once again and ran out, ignoring the valet people. He ran to the closet bar. The Rendezvous Point, it was called. It was a magic bar. It looked like you were entering a house though. Anyway, he quietly opened the door and slipped into the bathroom, where he took his wand from his pocket and tapped on the brick wall within. A moment later, Scorpius was sitting on a barstool at the bar, sipping a pint of butter-beer.

Rose crossed the avenue, across from where she and Scorpius sat a few minutes.

Its been a good day, Rose thought sweetly. She quickly and quietly came to her hotel. Once she was on the elevator, she was joined by another girl. A girl who looked like a super model. She had deeply tanned skin and dark chocolate brown eyes and hair.

"Vacation?" The supermodel spoke in a monotone voice.

"No, I'm afraid not. Funeral,".

"Astoria Greengrass?" Rose turned towards the girl, who now had a smirk on her face.

"How do you know Astoria?".

"I'm magical. I know these things,".

"What's your name?" Rose spat.

"Mendoza, Melanie Mendoza. I am…was a friend of Astoria. Her son, Scorpius is really distraught. Do you know Scorpius?"

"Yes. He picks on me a lot back at Hogwarts," Just then the bell buzzed and opened up.

"Well Miss Weasley I'll see you around," Melanie took a step out of the door before Rose spoke again.

"How do you know my name?"

"Easy. You're red-headed. Good day,".

Rose was shocked as she got on her floor and to her door.

"How does Mendoza know?"

Rose was sure she knew something…but she didn't know yet.

Only time will tell, She thought passing out on her bed.
