Clarice and Albus walked into the living room quietly.

"James," whispered Clarice, kissing him gently. He awoke with a smile and kissed her eagerly, while Albus woke Scorpius and Rose.

When James saw Albus he pulled Clarice a bit closer to him on the couch. She whispered "It's okay," in his ear, which made him feel slightly better. Whatever Al was up to Clarice was in on it apparently.

"Guys," said Albus, "I just wanted to say, I'm sorry. I was a real idiot this whole time, and I feel terrible about it. I want things to go back to the way they were if that's possible, that is, if you want things to go back to the way they were." He looked really nervous as he said all this, because, after all that he did he wasn't so sure they'd accept his apology.

"Of course we accept it!" said Scorpius. Out of all of them, he had missed Al the most. He ran forward and gave Albus a hug, and then looked expectantly at James, Rose, and Clarice.

"I think," said Clarice, "That things can go back to the way they were."

"Well," said James uncertainly. However much he had tried to hide it, he had been devastated at Albus' behavior, "If Clarice is okay with it, then so am I."

Albus walked over to the couch and said, "James, mate, I really am sorry."

"I know," said James, "and I suppose I forgive you, but if you ever pull a stunt like that again, I won't."

"I know." Everyone looked at Rose, who looked furious.

"I don't think things can go back to the way they were. I'm not going to forgive you Albus, and," she looked at Scorpius, Clarice, and James, "you guys shouldn't either. You know what he put us all through! You can't just forgive him!"

"But," said Albus, "I really am sorry."

"Oh, you're sorry! Well, I guess that that just takes back everything you did!"

"No, it doesn't" said Scorpius, "But he can't change what he did, now all he can do is make up for it, which is what he's doing. He's our best mate Rose, and you're being really mean about this. He--"

"Scorpius Malfoy! Don't you dare try to turn me into the bad guy here! He put us through all of this crap, and we aren't just going to forgive him!"

"What else can we do?" asked Scorpius, "I believe him."

"Well I don't"

"Rose, you're being unfair. I think--"

"You know what, Scorpius, I don't give a damn about what you think!"

"Well, good thing too, because I don't care!....jump off a bridge....I couldn't care less!"

Clarice, James, and Albus just stared. Rose and Scorpius never fought, ever. Since the Lysander episode they had gotten along perfectly, and were getting really serious.

"Well, I guess that's all we need to say!" said Rose, turning on her heel. At the door she looked back and said, "We're through!"

"Well FINE!" shouted Scorpius, leaving through the other door.

The silence in the room was louder than an explosion.

A/N: Short, I know, but I wanted to give the breakup time to sink in before the next chapter. So, what do you think? Plausible? REVIEW!
