The moment Rose sat down at the Gryffindor table (despite being in Ravenclaw, she and Scorpius sat with the group of redheaded cousins), her Mum's owl dropped a bright red letter at her plate. Rose swallowed hard; a howler. Her family looked confused at the vivid red howler that now was now shivering in a menacing way. Rose decided that it'd be best to get it over with, and with trembling fingers she opened it. Her mother's voice, magnified to a hundred times the usual volume burst through the hall.

"ROSE BELLADONNA WEASLEY, HOW DARE YOU? DATING THAT MALFOY BOY? ARE YOU BARKING MAD!? WHAT ON EARTH INSPIRED YOU TO REBEL AGAINST EVERYTHING WE'VE EVER TOLD YOU? ABOUT THE BOY'S PARENTS? WHAT HASN'T PENETRATED YOUR THICK SKULL, ROSE WEASLEY? ARE YOU MENTAL? I WILL NOT LET YOU DATE HIM. I'LL BE DAMNED IF YOU KEEP DATING HIM. YOUR GRANDPARENTS ARE ASHAMED, UNCLE HARRY AND AUNT GINNY ARE ALMOST AS ANGRY AS I AM. I WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LET THIS CONTINUE. WE WILL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME IF YOU DON'T BREAK UP WITH THE HORRIBLE BOY THIS VERY INSTANT. YOU ARE AN UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT. THIS IS TOO FAR. WE'VE LET YOU HAVE YOUR OWN ROOM, WITH ALL THAT CRAPPY MUGGLE MUSIC AND WE'VE PAID FOR ALL YOUR BILLS. HOW DARE YOU DEFY US SO DIRECTLY. I DON'T CARE IF YOU FANCY YOURSELF IN LOVE WITH HIM. HE'S AS EVIL AND TWISTED AS HIS PARENTS. HE'S BEEN BROUGHT UP WITH DISGUSTING BELIEFS AND I HAVE NOT A DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT HE WILL BREAK YOUR HEART THE FIRST CHANCE HE GETS. I HAVE HALF A MIND TO MARCH DOWN TO HOGWARTS MYSELF. YOUR FATHER AND I ARE COMPLETELY DISGUSTED. YOU ARE SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT OF A DAUGHTER."

Rose's lip trembled as the howler burst into flame. Scorpius was standing at the entrance of the Great Hall, looking stunned and hurt. Rose ignored the stares from bypassing students and dashed out the hall, Scor following her. Rose was sobbing now, her mum's words replaying in her mind. She was a disappointment, her parents hated her. She kept running until she reached a big door, inside it was the passage to the Shrieking Shack. She didn't care if it was creepy, she needed to get away. Far, far away. She made it half way through the passage before sinking to the dusty ground and just giving up. Scorpius sat beside her. And she cried. And cried. And cried.

After about an hour, Rose was done. She sniffled a little and her eyes stung like hell. "So, w-what do we do?" Rose said in a thick voice.
"I don't wanna break up with you."
"I don't either."
"Well, we can't really secretly date anymore seeing as the whole school heard the Howler."
"No, I guess not."
"So, what do we do?"
"We date."
"But-but my family-"
"Come on; we've got Arithmancy and Muggle Studies together. And we can study together. And then Albus is still my friend so he'll obviously not wanna keep me away from you. Not to mention Hogsmeade."
"What about after school though?"
"We..we could run away." Scorpius said softly. Rose felt her spirits lift slightly at the thought of leaving their world behind them.
"Run away?"
"Yeah, far, far away. We could go wherever the hell we want. I've got money. We can get our NEWTs then run. And we could run forever."
"Oh, God I wanna run." Rose said, in a firmer voice. "My parent's will do anything to stop us. So maybe we should stay apart for this year, to let our parents cool down a bit."
Scorpius looked a little skeptical. "Mm, okay..but no dating other people, right?"
"Of course not." Rose grinned at him with red eyes.
"I don't wanna have to go through our last year alone."
"Me neither, baby." Scorpius wrapped an arm around her. "But we can do it. And then we'll run. We'll run like hell. You wanna come with me, right?"
"Of course. Where'll we go though? And how'll we pay?"
"I've got a Gringotts vault. I'll empty it out, change the diamonds and rubies to galleons, then we could go to America or..or..Poland!"
Rose laughed. "Poland?"
"Sure! They'll never find us there!"
Rose wiped her face and beamed at him. "I'll go wherever you want."
"Ready to stage a breakup?"
"Here goes nothing."

Rose spent the afternoon explaining everything to Albus. Well..not everything. She told him that she and Scorpius would "start dating" after school and they had broken up for now. She cried for a while; her mother's words seemed to echo in her head. She was a disappointment? For dating a Malfoy? What was so horrible about him? He was kind, sweet, polite, cute, and kinda shy. He was everything to her, and thanks to her mother, they had to spend an entire school year acting like they despised each other. It was a literal suck fest.
"Al?" Rose asked wearily; her voice was croaky from hours of crying.
"Yeah, Rosie," Albus said kindly.
"I'm screwed, aren't I?"
"Pretty much."
"Well, shit." Albus sighed heavily and pulled an envolope out from his bag.
"What's that?" inquired Rose.
"It's a letter from your Mum. To me."
Rose grabbed the letter and read through it quickly;

"Dear Albus,

Please do anything within your abilities to prevent Rose and Malfoy from having contact with each other. Do anything.

Love,

Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron."

"Hugo, Roxy, Fred, Lily, Dom, and I all got one of these. I'll bet she also sent them to your dorm mates."
"I hate her. I really, really hate her. And dad. They're obsessed with not letting me have love. It's insane." Rose said with ferocity.
"Rosie, you shouldn't say that-"
"I don't care if I should for shouldn't. I'll do it anyways."
