" Scorpius you didn't need to wait for me," I said suddenly seeing him as I exited the stairwell

" It's no big deal, how did it go" He questioned

" Pretty good, I got Delilah and Nathan on the form so they will be able to see each other whenever they like." I hummed

" That's great I'm sure they will love to hear that. So what did she have to talk to you about?"

" Nothing really important, she just wanted to know how the internship went over the summer. "I lied

After a few passing comments about our summer, I couldn't help but think about his mother.

" How is your mum doing. Is she feeling any better? "

" A little yeah. She told me to tell you Hi and that she can't wait to see you again. She mentioned something about in better circumstances of Of course. My mum really likes you, Rose. She said you were one of the best student nurses at Saint Mungo's. " He smiled softly as his eyes dropped to the ground

" I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you upset"

"It's alright Rose. Actually, my Mum has been really keen on having you over for brunch lately. The Doctor's insist on keeping her in the house but she quit stubborn, you know. She told me to tell you she would love to tea with you on a weekend you are free. " He said uttering the password to the Perfect Corridors

" I would love that but, knowing her medical history I would really have to advise she listen to her Doctors. With that said if she will allow I would like to have tea with her just not out in Hogsmeade."

" I'd figure you'd say that," He said handing me a card

" What's this"

" My Father is quite wary of guests, therefore, you need that card if you are to go an visit, my mum. "

" Alright" I nodded


Everything from there went without a hitch. But of course I feel bad about lying to him, but in the end, I don't think he'd be as happy as he is now if he found out that it was my idea. So from the moment I sent that letter, I decided that whatever might happen I wanted to do this to make him happy. He's spent the majority of his Hogwarts time being bullied because of house prejudices. And while I couldn't help in back then I can help now. It's only fair. All we have to do is make it through this year without arguing. Which is easier said than done but I do think the twist MacGonagall added it will be beneficial. Plus it will give a great insight for everyone. Needless to say, I think its a great addition. It's getting quite late so I really must turn in see you tomorrow.

Yours truly

Rose Weasley

Morning really couldn't come any sooner. But I guess one great thing about being in a perfect room is that you don't wake up to everyone moving around at night. The only downside is, is that if someone wants to enter your room they will knock on your door ninety times before you finally open the door.

" What do you want Hugo" I grumbled letting him in

" You said yesterday morning to wake you up early so you could write Mum and Dad ." He said flopping on my bed

" Hugo! How many times have I told you not to do that? Actually how many times has Mum told you not to do that."I scolded him

" About a Million times. But you can easily fix it. See Reparo" He said pointing his wand to my temporary bed

"I'm aware it easy Hugo but just think about it you can't go fixing everything not everything can be fixed, you need to learn the value of things."I sighed

" You sound just like Mum." Hugo groaned

" I'll take that as a compliment," I said sticking out my tongue

" You're annoying" He professed

" Like you aren't. Anyway, what are you doing in here is Stacey giving you troubles again. I swear I'm surprised you are still dating that air head. Actually, I'm not you're a bit of an air head yourself. I'm surprised Mum didn't kick her out of the house when she was over this summer." I said laying out my clothes for the day

"I am too. But actually, I'm here to ask you a question."

" About,"I asked turning around to face him

" Well you're a girl"

" Last time I checked yeah I was "

" Ugh never mind I'll just talk to Roxanne " He huffed getting up

" Ok ok I'll stop whats going on Baby bro," I said sitting him down

"You're a girl,"

"We've established that "

" Rose,"He looked at me " Look I've been thinking and I just don't think Stacey and I work out. I tried breaking up with her over the summer but every time I tried she'd find a way to interrupt me and we end up doing something together." He puffed

" So she's not as much of an air head as I thought. " I said aloud

" Look Hugo. Just break it to her easily. The best thing you can do is be honest with her and explain how you feel. You can't ignore her, you're going to have to tell her at one point of the other." I exclaimed patting him on the back

" I guess your right. Thanks but Rose why don't you fallow your own advice."

" Alright Hugo it time for you to leave," I said pushing him off my bed

"It's a ligament question why haven't you told him yet."

"This is why I can't tell you and Lucy anything. Hugo, he has a girlfriend and he's happy you really want me to ruin a good thing he has going for him? When was the last time you saw him this happy? Hugo, I can't tell him so you are going to promise me you won't say a word to him about it. If I'm lucky this stupid crush will go away and we won't have to deal with this anymore."

" But Rose"

" But nothing Hugo. Nothing will ever happen between us, we are just meant to be friends. And honestly, how would you think Dad would react if I told him I liked his mortal enemies son. He just started getting used to the fact that we are both friends I don't know how much more Dad can take." I whispered

" But Dad likes him"

" That because Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny praise him to high heaven and he's Albus's best friend. You know just as much as I if Scorpius had a little sister your age and you like her Dad would lose it." I said after putting up an imperturbable charm

" But you've always told me to go out of my comfort zone Rose."

"Look when I tell you that it's for studious and sports-related topics. Plus I can't do that to Scorpius I want him to be happy. If your his friend Hugo you would want whats best for him." I sighed

" And I want whats best for you. Seeing you all summer all moppy and sad because you didn't tell him what you felt was not fun. I promise i won't tell him but in all seriousness, you really need to talk to him." Hugo said going to the door" Thank you for the advice, I hope you can listen to mine. "

"I won't make any promises to that ."

"I know, but try," He said leaving


With that I bid you are farewell for now. Until next time vmt is out.
