A/N - I'm actually really happy with how this turned out.
Thank you for the reviews and such for last chapter, as always I LOVE YOU ALL!
I've added characters for Bex's family, her parents, her brothers, her sisters - speedsONEandONLY, I forgot who we decided on, but I think you might like who I chose? Tell me if you don't and I'll change them, they are your family afterall haha.
For those that don't know, I've created a character for speedsONEandONLY because she is awesome and a really really cool person!
I know a lot of you are thinking "when is Dominique going to go back to school?" and, be patient, she is going back but I'm not sure when that will be, I know it won't be next chapter, but we'll just see how the next chapter goes, haha :D
Once again, thank you for everything :) Let me know what you think?

I couldn't stop smiling.
We did it, we actually did it! Scorpius and I finally had sex.
I didn't freeze and freak out, I didn't ask him to stop. I was relaxed, calm, and ready for it.
"We did it," I smiled at Scorpius. The two of us were laid on the grass, he had his arms wrapped around me, our clothes discarded around us.
"Yeah, we did." He smiled back.
"I love you, Scorpius." I whispered, looking him up and down, taking every inch of his naked body in.
"I love you too, Dominique." He whispered back, looking me up and down in return.
Instead of flushing red with embarrassment, I just pressed my lips against his, and giggled when I felt his reaction.
"Round two?" I murmured, not taking my mouth away from his.
"Round two." Scorpius agreed, smiling against my lips.
The two of us walked slowly back towards the Burrow, not in any real rush to get back, walking hand in hand, both grinning like absolute idiots.
"You do know that everybody is going to know what we've been up to?" Scorpius smirked down at me when we turned the corner and saw the Burrow's fence.
"I don't really care." I shrugged, "Although, my Uncle Charlie will most likely want to murder you." I warned him with a laugh.
"He's been wanting to murder me since he found out we were dating." Scorpius waved it off with a laugh of his own.
I rolled my eyes, but lifted our entwined hands so that his arm draped over my shoulders, making me huddle into his side.
We walked in a comfortable silence until we reached the wall surrounding the Burrow.
Scorpius was tall enough to simply step over it, I wasn't.
At Christmas, I jumped over and I remember barely managing to stay upright, so this time I carefully climbed onto the fence.
"You know," I muttered, trying to keep my balance, "a loving boyfriend would help." I rolled my eyes at Scorpius, who was stood with an amused expression on his face - which still had dried blood on it.
"And miss the view? Not a chance," He snorted and shook his head. I rolled my eyes and focused on actually staying on the fence.
When he turned round, I smirked and took my chance before he had a chance to move.
I dived from the fence and landed on his back, I wrapped my legs round his waist as he stumbled an inch and then straightened up. I loosely tied my arms around his neck, resting my chin at the crook between his neck and shoulder.
As soon as he felt me, he cupped his hands under my knees, keeping me secure. "Comfortable, Miss. Weasley?" He murmured softly. I couldn't see his face, but I knew he'd be smirking.
"Comfortable enough, Mr. Malfoy." I quipped back, smiling as I inhaled his scent.
"You know, the last time I called you 'Weasley,' you kicked me." Scorpius reminded me with a little laugh.
As always, we could hear my family before we saw them.
The men were setting tables up the muggle way - after a birthday party several years ago, my father and uncle George had a fight with the two large tables and knocked Lily and Lucy from their brooms, aunt Ginny and aunt Audrey nearly murdered the both of them. After that, my Grandmother insisted on having no wands or magic when setting up the tables.
I could see most of the women sat at a table prepping food, some more were in the kitchen cooking food; Lily, Rose, Molly and Lucy were on brooms trailing lanterns and lights around the tall trees while Roxanne and Louis were doing the same on the hedges.
"Well," Both Scorpius and myself looked away from each other and towards where my uncles and father were setting the tables up. Uncle Charlie and Dad were glaring at Scorpius' arm around my shoulders, "look who's finally decided to show up." Uncle George laughed and nodded at the two of us.
His comment caused everybody to look up at us; my mother was sat at the table with aunt Ginny, Audrey and Victoire. She, aunt Ginny and Victoire all frowned at the both of us.
"Where have you been? The others got back about an hour ago - is that blood?" Ginny asked and then saw Scorpius as we got closer.
I looked over at him and got momentarily surprised when I saw his hands, arms, face, shirt and hair streaked with blood. Scorpius looked down at himself quickly too, clearly he'd forgotten.
"You look surprised to find yourself covered in blood." Harry stated as he came over to us, Ginny, my parents, Charlie and Victoire came too.
"I forgot." Scorpius shrugged, he took his arm from my shoulders and scratched at the blood.
"What happened?" Victoire asked us, she took Scorpius' hands and looked over his swollen and bruised knuckles.
Scorpius didn't say anything, he just looked at me and I stared at my feet, not looking anybody in the eye.
"Nicky?" Uncle Charlie put his fingers under my chin and tilted my head up so I was looking him in the eye.
"This guy was completely out of his head and he started on the pair of us, so Scorpius got all macho-boyfriend on him." I sighed and lied through my teeth, not looking Uncle Charlie in the eye, but at my Dad.
I had no trouble or problems lying to my dad.
"I'm going to go shower." Scorpius muttered, walking away from us all before the adults could get at him for fighting.
"Where do you need me?" I asked my mother sweetly.
Charlie, Harry, Ginny and my father all exchanged looks of shock and surprise. Victoire arched a perfect eyebrow at me and my mother narrowed her eyes and tried to keep a smile of her beautiful face.
"You're going to help for my party?" Victoire asked me suspiciously.
"No, I'm going to help for my aunt and uncles godsons, party." I smirked at her, raising my own eyebrow at her so we had similar expressions. "So, Mum? Where do you want me?" I turned to Mum and smiled sweetly at her.
"As far away from your sister as possible, go help your Gran in the kitchen." Mum laughed and shook her head.
Four hours later and I was upstairs in the attic room with Rose getting dressed for the party. Since there was so many of us Gran had set a schedule up for who could use the bathroom at a certain time. Of course, since our family had no shame in exposing our privacy, to save time Lucy, Rose, Lily and I were all sat in the bathroom as one of us showered. While one was showering, the other three could take turns using the mirror or sink.
It was ridiculous.
"You'd think that the idiots we call parents would realise that they each have houses with bathrooms to accommodate everybody." I grumbled as we heard James and Albus yelling at Hugo to get out of the shower.
"That's what I said at my parents' anniversary party two years ago." Rose laughed as she pulled her dress on. "Of course, our house is larger than this so it would have made sense to have the party there but that was like treason to Gran." She rolled her eyes and laughed some more.
"So, you and Scorpius? Why were you late?" She asked me shyly. Even though we weren't strictly arguing any longer, sometimes it was still awkward between the two of us.
"We were having sex." I shrugged and told her bluntly as I slipped into my knee length pale pink dress.
"Really? Where?" Rose gasped and turned so she was facing me.
"The clearing that me, you and Al found years ago. It...well we talked about stuff and then it just felt right." I smiled as I remembered how sweet and attentive Scorpius was.
"Good...I'm glad you're happy, Dom-Dom." Rose smiled at me and used the nickname her and Albus used to tease me with when we were about four years old.
"What about you and Chris? Happy? Sexually active?" I teased her and grinned when she rolled her eyes but blushed.
"You are!" I giggled and quickly got up to hurry over to her.
"We have like five minutes until Bex gets up here, spill!" I urged her and giggled again.
I loved Bex with all my heart, excluding Lottie and Albus, she was probably the best and greatest friend I've ever had, but I missed having this with Rose.
Before I went to France, the two of us would spend at least two nights a week sitting up and having fun, without any other family members or even Albus.
I missed that in France.
"Well, about two months ago we were hanging out in his flat, I left the castle to meet up with him and he was showing me some of the new underwear designs he has..." Rose blushed heavily and refused to look at me.
I gasped and put a hand over my mouth to stop from screaming with laughter.
"You dressed up for him? No way!" I giggled.
Rose? Rose Weasley dressing up for somebody?
"No! He showed me them and I mentioned that they were really cute so he gave me some and said they were a gift! He then got really embarrassed because I looked mortified and he started saying he didn't mean it like that and that he didn't want to rush me since it was my first time and he just kept babbling." Rose rolled her eyes but smiled and blushed as she told me.
"I started laughing and that shut him up. I told him I wasn't a virgin and that I wanted too..." She trailed off, looking a little pleased with herself.
"Rose Weasley! You started it? Oh wow, ha ha!" I laughed in shock, imagining Rose taking control of that situation.
Instead of answering, Rose simply threw a pillow at me.
"You know, my family know how to throw a decent party." I complimented as Scorpius and I sat at a table at the back of the marquee, away from everybody else as they danced to the band.
"Yeah, they do. James' seventeenth was a good one." He nodded, looking round.
"Are you alright?" I asked him quietly, ever since we got separated to do work for the party, he'd been a bit distant. Whenever I looked at him, he was staring into thin air, a lost look on his face.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." He muttered, still not looking me directly in the eye.
"I thought we agreed not to do the whole, lying thing?" I muttered, looking at Louis and Anna Avery dancing.
I heard Scorpius sigh beside me, but for about five minutes he didn't say anything.
"I got a letter today." He admitted quietly. "Harry gave me it when I got out of the shower, he said he got it late last night, when Ginny and Lily were in bed. It's from my mother and father." I had my hand on Scorpius' leg, so I felt his entire body tense up at even the word 'father.'
"They're coming home. Apparently Dad's business is doing brilliantly over in the States and he wants to bring the business to Europe. Mum says she misses her family...she said she misses me."
I didn't know how to respond to that.
Scorpius finally looked at me though, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Dominique...I'm scared -"
"Ah, there you are! Come on, family photo's!" We looked away from each other to see Gran stood at the table, hands on her hips and giving us the look that meant 'do-it-or-I'll-kill-you.'
"Dominique, your parents and brother and sister are waiting, Scorpius, Harry and Ginny are waiting for you." Gran ushered us up from our seats and practically frog marched us up over to where all the family were waiting.
I looked at Scorpius to see if he was alright, but his face went from that of a frightened kid, to a stony, blank expression.
I wasn't the only person who saw his expression though, Harry was looking at him intently. When Harry saw me looking, he met my gaze and raised his eyebrow slightly.
Knowing what he meant, I nodded my head, not obvious enough that everybody would see it, but clear enough that Uncle Harry saw it.
"Right, small family shots first, and then the big one!" Gran grinned when she practically threw me and Scorpius at our families.
I walked over to stand near Mum, the preferred parent, but Gran shook her head,
"You French girls all look alike," She laughed, making several other people laugh too. "Fleur, get in the middle, Louis on your mothers right, Bill on the left...Dominique, beside Louis. No! You're wearing heels and you're towering over him," Gran sighed and shook her head again.
Since I was wearing high stiletto heels, it added an extra six inches to my height, making me tower over Louis, who was normally about an inch smaller than me. A couple of my cousins started teasing Louis because he was the smallest boy in our family.
"Right, left to right; Vic, Louis, Fleur, Bill, Dom." Gran nodded several minutes later.
"Oh, that will look so cute, with the girls all looking like each other and then it's girl, boy, girl!" One of the guests laughed. I rolled my eyes but kept myself from making a very loud comment.
"I think I might fall, keep hold of me!" I laughed at Dad as I wobbled on the grass in my heels.
"Don't worry, I've got you." Dad smiled as he put his arm around my waist, pulling me into him.
I smiled as I realised that this was the first time we'd been this close to each other since I was eleven years old.
"I've been home from school for nine days," I murmured as we all smiled for the camera. Gran insisted on taking at least a dozen shots so everybody could have a copy, "and we haven't had a serious argument." I reminded him, turning to look at him for a moment.
I think my relationship with my Dad will always be rocky, there'll always be that one part of me that questions how he really feels about me, but we were making a start to at least be civil and...normal towards each other.
I thought I wouldn't mind if I spent my entire life arguing with my Dad, but I loved having a conversation with him. I loved sitting and having a coffee with him, I loved having him ask me about how school was going, how my relationship was going; I loved sitting around the table with him, Louis and Mum and the four of us just having a normal family discussion over dinner. I loved winding Mum up with him.
I love my Dad.
"Gran? Can I get a picture of me, Mum and Dad?" I asked Gran before she moved on to the next family.
I almost rolled my eyes when every single one of my aunts, uncles, my grandparents and my parents all froze and looked at me like I'd sprouted an extra head.
"Of course, whenever you're ready." Gran smiled and pulled her camera up.
Louis and Victoire both walked away, Victoire staring at the ground and Louis smiling like an idiot.
Dad moved to stand on my right and Mum moved to stand on my left. I glanced at both of them, they were both giving Gran huge, toothy grins and Mum even had tears in her eyes.
"I love you, Domino." Dad whispered as Gran clicked the button on her camera.
"I love you to, Dad."
I couldn't find Scorpius after the entire family got their photo's took; as well as the 'small families' as Gran called it, she wanted photo's of different people for her collection; for example, she wanted an updated one of me, Albus and Rose. An updated photo of Louis, an actual photo of me, Louis and Victoire, an official 'engagement' photo of Victoire and Teddy and a photograph of Teddy with Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny.
After Scorpius got a photo took with Lily and James, he seemed to have vanished. I wanted to find him, but Gran asked me to get a photo took with Uncle Charlie.
"Albus, have you seen Scorpius?" I asked Albus when Gran was distracted with Molly and Aunt Audrey.
"No, he was here and then he wasn't," Albus shrugged, looking around for his best friend. "Is he alright?"
"Is who alright?" I jumped when I heard Bex's voice, her, Chris and Lottie were stood together; most likely waiting for their boyfriends and girlfriend to finish with the family torture so they could actually have some fun.
"Scorpius, we can't find him." Albus told her, sending a brief smirk at Lottie.
"He went into the house about ten minutes ago, I asked where he was going and he just said the bathroom." Bex shrugged, looking over my shoulder with wide eyes.
Frowning, I looked over my shoulder and saw why she was looking so fearful.
An older, blonder, version of Bex was walking towards us, her arm in a tall, tanned, black haired man's arm.
"My parents," Bex whispered. As soon as she said this, her father seemed to see her. He leant over to whisper something in his wives ear and then nodded over to where we were stood.
"Oh no! Oh no! They're coming over?" Bex groaned and quickly glanced at Fred, who was now getting his photo took with Molly and James.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymont quickly led a small army of Raymont off-spring over to us. I could tell that they were all Bex's brothers and sisters, they all looked alike.
Her twin sisters were obviously identical, only one had dyed her hair a light brown and the other had dyed her hair a light blonde, not Bex's natural blonde that she clearly inherited from her mother, but more like a bottle version of mine and Victoire's blonde.
Her two brothers were hot! Both tall, both extremely muscular, both brunettes and both extremely tanned.
Her two older sisters looked alike too; her oldest one, looked the perfect mix of both her parents; she got her Dad's colouring but her mothers beauty.
Her other sister was a natural blonde like Bex, and she had a natural tan that looked to be topped up by the sun. She wore light make up, except her lips which were painted a vibrant, bright red colour.
"They've dyed their hair?" Bex muttered, frowning at her twin sisters and then one of her brothers.
"Beck! Darling!" Mrs. Raymont exclaimed when she was close enough to not create a scene. Pulling her arm from her husbands, Bex's mum pulled her into a bone-crushing hug!
"Oh let me look at you! My baby-Beck is all grown up! Look at her Steven! Isn't she beautiful!" Mrs. Raymont smiled proudly at Bex as she looked at her in a borrowed dress of mine and a pair of shoes I stole from my mothers wardrobe for her.
"The dress and shoes are Dominique's -" Bex shrugged and smiled at me.
"Oh, this is Dominique? I've heard so much about you!" I was surprised to find myself in one of Mrs. Raymont's hugs next.
"Er, hi." I smiled once she released me.
"Mum, this is Dominique Weasley," Bex introduced me uncomfortably, frowning at her mother. "It's her sisters engagement party. Y'know, Victoire?"
Mrs. Raymont frowned before she nodded.
"Robyn's friend?"
At Bex's nod she grinned and stepped back, revealing Bex's family.
"Dad." Bex nodded and smiled slightly at her father.
Steven Raymont just seemed...cold. He barely nodded at Bex as he simply said, "Rebecca. Good to see you."
"Kim! Drake!" Bex grinned, not even bothering to introduce me to her father. As soon as Mr. Raymont finished speaking, the two older Raymont's rushed forwards to hug their little sister.
Judging by the light in Bex's eyes that wasn't there when she introduced her mother or father, those two were her favourite family members.
"Beck-boo!" Drake laughed as he hugged his youngest sister and lifted her from her feet.
"Rebbie! I've missed you!" Kim pouted as she kissed her sisters cheeks.
Beck-boo? Rebbie?
What happened to Bex and Rebecca?
"I've missed you two too!" Bex grinned as she stepped away.
"This is Dom, Dom this is Kimbo and Drakey, my oldest brother and sister." I've never seen Bex grin so largely in the time I'd known her.
"This is, Dyl and Robbie." Bex introduced her other brother and sister as they came forwards and hugged their younger sister.
Where on earth have all these pet names come from? What happened to the girl who didn't get along with her family?
"What about your sisters?" Steven Raymont raised a thin black eyebrow at his youngest daughter, it felt as if he was piercing right through her.
"And that is Sarah and Jessica. Sarah, Jess, this is Dominique." Bex introduced her other sisters, sending them both a bit of a glare as she did.
I noticed 'Kimbo,' 'Drakey,' and 'Robbie' send the twins a small glare each too - had they warned the twins to behave in a certain manner?
I was saved from answering by a very un-Victoire like scream coming from behind us.
"Robyn! You came!" Lottie and Albus were pushed aside by Victoire running towards Robyn, who screamed herself and hugged Victoire hard.
"Of course I came!" Robyn sounded exactly like Bex. If I closed my eyes and they both spoke, I probably wouldn't be able to distinguish the two. "My best friend is having an engagement party, how could I miss it?"
"And you've been putting up with little-miss-happy over there." Robyn teased Bex when she pulled away from the hug.
I expected Bex to glare or snap at her, but she only laughed and rolled her eyes at her sisters' comment.
"So where's Ted?" Drake asked as he kissed Victoire's cheek.
"Dray! Kim!" Teddy's voice boomed over Victoire's answer and seconds later, Teddy was here, hugging the older Rayment's tightly.
As they exchanged greetings, my parents, brother, Aunt Ginny, Uncle Harry and Grandparents made their way over.
"Oh, Mum, Dad?" Bex smiled at my parents and grabbed her own parents' attention.
"This is Dominique and Victoire's parents; Fleur and Bill Weasley, these are my parents, Yvonne and Steven Raymont." The parents exchanged hugs and handshakes; I wasn't surprised when my Dad coolly disregarded Steven Raymont, not that he seemed bothered.
"And this is their son, Louis." She smiled at Louis, who smiled politely at her parents.
"Oh...and, um, this is Fred." I looked sharply at Fred, who had appeared from virtually nothing, to be stood at Bex's side. "M-my boyfriend." She looked at both her parents for a second before she smiled at Fred.
"Mr. Raymont, Mrs. Raymont, it's a pleasure to meet you." Fred held his hand out to Bex's parents. Mrs. Raymont shook it and smiled warmly at him, Mr. Raymont stared at his hand for a full minute before nodding once to him.
"Aww, isn't this sweet? Little Beck has a boyfriend." The brown-haired twin snickered.
"Another boyfriend." The blonde-haired twin added in an equally snotty tone.
I narrowed my eyes as they spoke and saw Bex stiffen and widen her eyes.
"Sarah, Jess, stop it." Robyn hissed, my grandparents, parents, Christian, Louis and Bex's parents had excused themselves seconds before the twins spoke.
"Stop what? -" Brown haired twin looked at her sister with an innocent expression.
"We're just commenting on our little sister -" Blonde haired twin gave the same expression.
"- and her latest boyfriend."
Bex flushed a brilliant shade of red, it almost matched Robyn's lipstick, Fred looked uncomfortable, and Bex's other siblings looked furious.
"We've warned you two, this isn't about Bex or you, for once, -" Dylan snapped at the twins, who just rolled their eyes in unison at his comments.
"Tell me," I spoke up after glancing at Bex for a second. She looked so embarrassed, even Lottie wasn't looking happy at her misfortune, "do the two of you feed each other?"
"What?" The brown haired twin snapped, frowning and looking at the blonde one in confusion.
"It's just you evidently can't think alone, speak alone, or even dress alone," I nodded to their dresses, which were identical but in different colours.
"So I wondered if the two of you shared the same brain cell?" I shrugged and looked at them with an innocent expression.
If they wanted to act bitchy to my best friend, go ahead. They just better be prepared to see me fight in her defense.
"Who's the leader and who's the follower?" Lottie chipped in, looking both the twins over.
"Excuse me?" Blonde haired twin raised an eyebrow, looking at her siblings for help.
Bex was smiling slightly, her brothers and other sisters were smiling too; just at Bex and not the twins. I suspected that they were happy to see Bex actually have friends who were willing to stand up for her.
"Are you deaf as well as idiotic? I asked who is the leader and who is the follower? Well, I didn't ask that but it was indicated." Lottie told them slowly.
"I think Blondie here is the follower." I commented, moving to stand in front of them, Lottie moved too and came to stand right beside me.
"Let's see, shall we?" Lottie asked me with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.
I nodded once and smirked back, "Lets,"
Reaching out slowly, I flicked the brown haired twins' nose sharply.
She put a hand on her nose quickly...with the blonde haired twin following a second later.
"I was right!" I smiled as the others all laughed.
"Damn Blondie, I thought you were going to surprise us all and be the leader!" Lottie sighed and shook her head, feigning disappointment.
"Go on -" I nodded over to where Mrs and Mr Raymont were talking to some other guests they obviously recognised.
"- run along to Mummy and Daddy," Lottie finished my sentence for me.
"Tell them that two girls were being mean to you."
"Daddy might buy you something shiny to make -"
"- you feel better." I finished with a large, smug, obvious smile in their faces.
The twins glared at the two of us before they turned away, ironically enough, Blonde twin walked away first.
The Raymont's were all laughing harder than the others. Even Victoire was laughing.
"Thank you! I have never seen Jess look so angry before!" Bex laughed, nodding at the blonde twin, who was glaring over at us all.
"They were right! Sarah could tell Jess to swap names and she'd do it!" Dylan shrugged before he said he was going to get a drink and walked away.
"Why'd you do that? You don't even like me." Bex asked Lottie slowly and carefully, as if she was afraid of the answer.
Lottie shrugged, but looked at Albus for a couple of seconds before she answered.
"You're right. I don't like you, but even I treat you with more respect than Dumb and Dumber over there." Lottie nodded to the twins and then sort of smiled at Bex. "Besides, if Dominique and Potty think you're alright, you must be." She shrugged, looking uncomfortable for a moment.
It did get a little awkward for a couple of seconds, thankfully Bex's brother seemed to know how to break the ice.
Slightly.
"So," He clapped Fred on the shoulder, roughly, "what's your intentions with my baby sister?"
"Her last boyfriend -" Kim began with a raised eyebrow at Fred.
"Who is Dominique's current boyfriend." Bex interjected before Kim could say anything else.
"Was a really nice guy, cheating aside, so you have a lot to live up to." Kim joked, making everybody laugh.
Bex's family, - spoilt, vindictive twin sisters and cold, selfish, fathers aside, - actually turned out to be really cool people.
It was hilarious to see Victoire get really jealous whenever Kim and Teddy spoke together, she'd always manage to hold his hand, or cuddle into his side, or distract him somehow.
What was even more funny was that while Teddy didn't realise what she was doing, Kim did and she just teased Victoire with it. When she laughed, she'd grab his arm, and she even caressed his cheek once, pretending there was something on his face.
"Kim and Teddy went out when they were about fourteen. Victoire has always been jealous of how close they were, even after they broke up." Drake told us all with an eye roll when Victoire managed to kiss Teddy for the sake of it, making Kim laugh lightly and roll her eyes.
Bex was about to say something when somebody bumped into her, sending her falling forwards.
"Oops!" A clearly drunk Rose tried unsuccessfully to hide her grin when she saw Bex stumble.
"I am so sorry! I didn't hurt your baby, did I?" She gasped and held a hand out to Bex's stomach.
I felt my eyes widen as everybody looked at Bex or Fred with wide eyes, or in Robyn and Drake's case, glares.
"What baby?" Bex snapped, giving Rose a glare of her own. "You're drunk, Weasley. Go to bed." She scowled and shook her head.
"Oh wait, that's right. You're not pregnant." Rose shook her head slowly, her entire face lighting up as she grinned nastily.
"That was a couple of years ago, wasn't it?" She asked Bex as innocently as a nasty-drunk person could.
I looked at Bex through wide-eyes as the colour drained from her face. She didn't look at anybody but Rose; Fred was looking at Bex with confusion etched on his face. Bex's sisters and brother were looking at her sharply.
"What's going on?" I didn't jump at the sound of Scorpius' voice behind me and I relaxed a little as his hand came behind me to rest on my waist.
I turned my head to look at him briefly, and then tensed again when I could tell by his eyes he was drunk.
He stunk of cigarette smoke too.
"Beck? Rebecca, what is she talking about?" Drake demanded.
"Oh shit! You didn't tell them? Well, I might as well now," Rose shrugged and looked at Bex once before she glanced at Scorpius.
"It was just after Beck and Scorpius...um, broke up. Bex here, sweet, innocent little Bex...she was convinced she was pregnant. Her period didn't come, she was feeling ill, she had all the symptoms and she'd had sex with Scorpius so it was clear she probably was pregnant!" Rose told everybody dramatically.
I thanked Merlin that Rose wasn't a loud drunk, only the people we were stood with could hear. Thankfully, Bex's parents were on the other side of the tent.
"Now, she had a hell of a dilemma," Rose laughed darkly, shaking her head at Bex, "and you have the cheek to call me a whore. Bex's dilemma was ladies and gentlemen, who was the father of her baby? Fourteen years old and she had a choice of fathers? The brilliant, super attentive, faithful boyfriend, Scorpius Malfoy." She pointed a hand to Scorpius who sighed and shook his head at Rose.
"Rose, don't do this -" Scorpius tried to get her to stop, but she wouldn't.
"Or, the one-night stand, Lorcan Scamander."
I heard Scorpius sigh and looked up at him. He wasn't looking at me, or even at Rose.
He was looking at Bex with pity in his eyes, as everybody else looked at her like they didn't know who she was.
Bex herself stood in the centre of the little group; silent, mortified tears falling down her face.
I hate Rose. HATE HER!
A lot of you are wondering why I always make Rose be the bad guy - I just generally think her character would be a bitch.
What do you think? I know you have reactions to that :)
