AN: So um, this is kind of a sequel to "Unexpected," but can completely be read on its own. I really don't know where this came from – it just kinda happened and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Or if it fits the Soap Opera Style genre that I had to work with.

This is written for round 6 of the Quidditch League with the prompts; "Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience," Victoria Holt, Dialogue: The curse has been in our family for six generations and trap.

He sat near the large window in the living room of his house, staring out at the garden, watching the rain fall in slow drizzles. He slowly ran a hand through his hair as he took a deep breath.

He's made some bad decisions in his life, but he's also made some good ones and that should count for something, shouldn't it? It didn't necessarily make him a bad person.

He looked down at the family ring he wore on his right ring finger. As much as he didn't want to wear it, he felt drawn to always wear it. As much as he hated the object, it brought him somewhat good luck.

"Are you alright?" a familiar voice asked, pulling him from his thoughts.

The blond slowly turned his head around to look at the person who had walked into the room.

"How did you get in?" he asked, not trying to hide the venom on his voice. He knew that his tone had hurt her, because she took a small step backwards.

"Your mother let me in," she explained, as she courageously took a step forward.

He turned around. "I don't see why. She knows that I don't want to see people right now and I sure as hell don't want to see you."

"I know you hate me, Scorpius," she said. "And I know that it's not going to do any good, but I came to say I was sorry."

Scorpius slowly stands and turned to face her, crossing his arms across his chest. "It's far too late for that, Rose," he said, firmly.

The redhead looked at her feet.

"You cheated on me with Lorcan," Scorpius told her. "Your own cousin's boyfriend. What the hell is wrong with you? I thought the Weasley's were supposed to be a close family? I never would have guessed you, of all people, would backstab your own relatives."

"Scorp," she tried to plead.

"Don't call me that," Scorpius closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them and staring at her. "Only my friends have the right to call me that and you aren't one of them. Not anymore. Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

He quickly left the room, not caring enough to stay to see if she left. He didn't care – he just needed to get away from her and all the crap she brought with her.

"I've really ruined everything, Lily," Rose said, tears in her eyes as she sat on her best mate's couch. Lily was her only cousin who would speak to her at the moment. "He refuses to even talk to me."

"Honestly Rosie," Lily started. "You can't really blame him considering…" she trailed off.

Rose sighed. "I know…It's all my fault and there's not a damn thing I can do to fix it. I've really screwed everything up."

"We always can't get everything we want," Lily said, glancing out the window before looking back at Rose. "Life doesn't work like that, especially with us."

"The curse has been in our family for six generations," Rose said, sadly.

The curse that seemed to target just certain Weasley's – they couldn't be happy, no matter what they tried. It was like they were stuck in a trap and couldn't get loose. Nothing they did ever helped and only made everything worse.

Why do I even try? Rose asked herself.

"Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up over this," Lily told her. "The best thing you can do is just let Scorpius go."

But I can't do that.

As much as she knew Scorpius hated her, she still had to try because the Weasley's were stubborn people.

It was another family gathering and as much as she didn't want to come, she did because of her grandma. She didn't want her to worry much or hover over her. So she showed up and she'd dragged Scorpius with her so she wouldn't have to face it alone.

"I gave her everything," he said softly, more to himself than to anyone. He glanced at the blonde standing across from him and gave a sad smile.

They both felt terrible and hurt because of the same reasons. They found a solace in each other that they wouldn't find anywhere else.

"You've got to stop that, Scorpius," Dominique told him, firmly. "I know it's hard because she was your first love but you've just got to do it. It's not easy, trust me."

Both of them had been cheated on by their first loves – it was funny because Rose and Lorcan had cheated on them with one another. It's weird how things work out like that.

He sighed and took a small drink of his fire whiskey. "Maybe."

"Scorpius?"

Oh shit, he thought.

"I don't think you're welcome here," he heard Dominique answer for him. It was a good thing too because he wasn't sure he would be able to speak.

"I don't believe I was talking to you," Rose replied. "It doesn't concern you."

Dominique stood up from her chair, crossed her arms tightly over her chest and narrowed her eyes. "When you cheat on Scorpius with my boyfriend, it does concern me. I think it would be of everyone's best interest if you left, now."

"I need to talk to Scorpius."

"Don't bother," Scorpius told her, finally finding his voice. "I have nothing to say to you and I thought I made that clear the other day."

"You heard him," Dominique said. "And if I were you, I wouldn't bother coming back."

"Scorpius is a friend—

Dominique cut her off. "He was your friend. As in past tense. You ruined everything when you decided to slip and fall into bed with Lorcan like a little whore."

"Excuse you?" Rose yelled.

"I think you hear me well enough," Dominique said, her voice rising with each word. "It's the truth, isn't it?"

"You think you're better than everyone else, don't you?" Rose scoffed. "Lily and I are just scum on the bottom of your shoe, aren't we?"

"I've never cheated on my boyfriend with anyone else," Dominique said. "And there's a big difference between you and Lily. She at least admits to al the shit she does instead of pretending like nothing happened."

Rose scoffed again.

"You're really pathetic," Dominique added, before turning away. She took a deep breath and clenched and unclenched her first, fighting the urge to punch Rose in the face.

"I'm pathetic?" Rose questioned. "When you are the one who throws herself at guys?"

"Harmless flirting and throwing myself at guys are two very different things, Rosie," Dominique said. "Besides, I've never slept with anyone I've flirted with. Unlike yourself."

Dominique ducked as Rose's fist came close to her face and quickly shot a hex back at her. A wand fight between Rose and Dominique quickly broke out after that.

"Are you seriously doing this right now Rose?" Dominique said as she shot a boil hex straight at Rose which hit her in the face.

Rose screamed as he face broke out in boils.

"Dominique Gabrielle Weasley!"

"Rose Evelyn Weasley!"

Shit, Dominique thought as she quickly put her wand away, but it was far too late – she was already in trouble. Her mother and her Aunt Hermione were quickly making their way over to the two girls and they didn't look happy.

"Dominique," Fleur said as she came to a stop in front of her youngest daughter. "You are twenty two years old, what were you thinking?"

"Rose est lagarce immature qui démarré, pas moi," Dominique replied in rapid French, a clear sign that she was pissed off.

"Dominique, regarder votre langue," Fleur replied.

Dominique crossed her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes. "As if Rose didn't deserve it."

"I didn't do anything," Rose yelled over her mother's shoulder.

"Look," Hermione said, firmly. "I don't know what's going on between you two, but you need to figure it out and fix it."

Hermione lead Rose away and Dominique's attention was forced back to her mother.

"I'm not going to say I'm sorry for what I did," she said, simply. "Because I'm not sorry. But I will apologize for causing a scene." Dominique added before quickly turning and walking away from her mother before she could be yelled at anymore.

"So what exactly was that?" Scorpius asked.

Dominique looked over at the blond boy who was climbing through the trap door in the tree house.

"How did you find me?"

Scorpius smirked. "Have you forgotten what happened between us up here during the last Weasley get together?"

Dominique gave a sly smile. "No, I haven't...Rose just gets under my skin and pushes my buttons. I shouldn't let it happen but I just can't help it."

"Let it go," Scorpius told her simply. "Rose isn't worth it."

Dominique took a sip of fire whiskey. Maybe he was right, Rose wasn't worth it. But that didn't mean that she was just going to sit by quietly when Rose did something she didn't agree with.

She sure as hell wasn't just going to sit around and let Rose screw over her friends and act as if she didn't have a care in the world.
