Chapter Fourteen

Rose's POV
I pinch myself.
This IS for real.
Oh. My. God.
This is THE apocalypse.
For a few seconds, nobody moves.
Then Scorpius frowns at me, "Rose, aren't you going to invite me in?" He's joking at THIS time! He's insane. Period.
"No" I cry unbelievably "because you invited yourself in!" Oh God, this is a nightmare!
Then I whisper (Okay, more like hiss at him), "What are you doing here? How did you know where I live?"
He rolls him eyes at me "Oh, are you serious? You only told me about a million times."
I blush at that but I glare at him.
"You told him where you live?" Mom asks, a little panicky.
"Of course I did! How else was he going to owl me?" I say.
Now Mum's expression grows frantic "He sends you letters?"
"Not yet. We just got together this year!" I say.
"Okay! I've had enough!" Dad yells. He points at Scorpius "You. Out of my house. Now."
Scorpius looks alarmed. What, did he expect people to welcome him with garlands?
"What?" I exclaim "No!"
I grab Scorpius's arm. "Scorpius isn't going anywhere."
"Did you not understand me?" Dad asks super calmly which is not a good sign, "I ordered him to get out of my house THIS INSTANT."
"Yes and he refuses" I look my father in the eye. There is no way I'm going to back down.
Dad looks right back. "Um…actually –" Scorpius starts but I cut him off by saying "Shut up Scorpius!" without breaking eye contact with Dad.
"Well then" Dad says "I guess it's time to remind you that this is MY house –"
Then Mum intervenes "Oh stop it! Ron, stop being so stubborn and let Scorpius tell what happened. And Rose, quit arguing with your father. Scorpius…explain."
Scorpius looks amazed at my mother's way of managing things.
"Yeah" I say "What happened, Scorpius? Did you not talk to your parents?"
"Now that" he says, "is a very funny story."
I say sarcastically, "Oh, do tell."
And then Scorpius begins his tale…

Scorpius's POV
Rose's parents are waiting for her. She doesn't look back. I can understand why she doesn't. Her family starts talking and I don't have the nerve to overhear. Also, I'm not that shameless.
My family is nowhere to be seen. Usually it's my Dad or Mum or both who come to pick me up. But they aren't here. I wonder what happened. I wait until Rose and her family disappear through the barrier. After I'm tired of waiting, I too leave Kings Cross, annoyed with my parents. My family is seriously messed up.
As soon as I'm out in the REAL Kings Cross and not 9 ¾ , a seemingly random person (who looks familiar) comes up to me and asks me "Oi! Are you Sconpius Malfoy?"
"It's Scorpius and yes I'm him. Why?" I ask. This man is huge and his voice is really rough. He has breadcrumbs all over his shirt.
"What took you so look, boy? I've been waiting for you for ages. Anyways, it's nice to meet you" he says and thrusts his hand forward.
I take and shake it but I still have no idea who this person is. "Uh, nice to meet you too. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure" he says.
"Who are you?" I plainly ask.
He slaps a hand on his forehead, "How stupid of me! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Gregory Goyle. Your father's childhood friend." Oh right, now I remember why he looks familiar. He was in my parents' wedding picture. I think he was the best man. A really filthy best man.
I start to get worried. Whenever "childhood friends" of your parents come to receive you, either they are missing or dead. "Where are my parents? Why didn't they come?"
He waves his hand, "No need to worry. Your parents urgently had to leave town. So they asked me to receive you. They'll be back tonight."
"Then why didn't you come to the Platform?" I ask.
"Oh. That. It's nothing. Just that I got banned from there. The barrier doesn't let me through." He laughs weakly.
"What?" I exclaim, my eyes wide "You got BANNED from Platform 9 ¾?"
"Now let's not make this a big deal. So what if I got banned? It doesn't matter. I haven't got any children. I'm not even married" he says proudly like marrying girls is a catastrophic sin.
"Then what are you?" I want to know because Gregory Goyle seems REALLY dumb and I'm not sure the wizarding world would provide him with a job.
I'm proved right. He says, "Me? I'm a muggle cop. The best in town!"
Oh wow! This wizard is so incapable of magic that he had to get a muggle employment. Good job, Mum and Dad, sending him here.
"Now let's get going!" Gregory Goyle says cheerfully. I can't go with this man anywhere. Make up an excuse, Scorpius. Fast.
"Um actually I have to go to a friend's house for the summer. Didn't Mum and Dad mention that to you?" I ask with one eyebrow raised.
He looks puzzled "Noooo."
I nod knowingly, "They must've forgotten. God knows what has happened to their memories. They forget things a lot lately."
"Really? Draco had a really good memory. He remembered every single mistake I made in school and punished me for it" Goyle says.
"Really?" I act flabbergasted, "Well, now, he doesn't even remember what day of the week it is."
"Dear Merlin. Poor Draco" he says scratching his stubble.
I steer the conversation back to the topic "So as I was saying, I have to get to my friend's house. Could you please tell me where I can find a bit of Floo Powder?"
"Yeah. I know just the place." He tells me where to go.
He calls out "Have fun! Be careful!"
I head off as fast as I can.
And so…

Rose's POV
"…here I am" says Scorpius.
