In the Previous Chapter…
"I dunno about you guys, but that fine piece of arse has taken Rose off our hands for an hour or two, so who fancies catching up on sleep?" Dom laughed before curling up in her sleeping bag again. The girls all nodded in agreement and were soon huddled together in their sleeping bags.
"Sweet Dreams, everyone" Victoire said, "just focus on Scorpius' amazing arse and you'll sleep well" she giggled, and was soon joined by the rest of the girls in laughter.
Scorpius pulled Rose to him as they approached the door to the room where him, Al, Hugo, Louis, Fred, James and Teddy were sleeping. "Rosie, we'll have to be quiet when we go in as the others will still be asleep." Rose nodded and motioned that her mouth would stay sealed, giggling quietly, so Scorpius softly opened the door.
He yelped as for the second time in the last 10 minutes, someone had leaped on top of him, Rose squealed as Scorpius was tackled to the ground by an orange blur.
"Where've you been, huh?" Fred cried, sitting on top of a bewildered Scorpius.
"Where've you been Malfoy? You been playing dirty with one of our cousins?" James said, standing behind Fred, staring down at him.
"No! I got dragged out by Lily at 3 to go and calm Rose down!" Scorpius choked, struggling to breathe as Fred crushed him slowly.
"Get off, Fred" Al muttered, irritated. "Scorp wouldn't do something like that. I heard him talking to Lils this morning when she woke him up. Rose woke all the girls up screaming and asked for Scorp so lils came and got him."
"Why didn't you come back, then?" Fred snarled.
"Lily told me I could stay when Rose fell asleep on me. She doesn't have nightmares when she's with me" Scorpius tried to explain. Fred and James seemed to relax a bit at this, but Fred's head jerked down as a resounding crack rang around the room.
"Get off my Scorp'us!" Rose yelled, slapping Fred in the back of the head again. "He's going purple!" she said. She shoved Fred off of Scorpius' chest and lay down on top of him, staring into his eyes. "Are you alright?" she asked, tears forming in her eyes at the prospect of Scorpius being hurt again.
"I'm good, hun" Scorpius said, sitting up and coughing slightly. "Just a bit out of breath from having two people jump on me this morning" he said, smirking at Rose who was sat in his lap again.
"Can we get dressed now so we can go outside in the snow?" Rose asked, suddenly remembering it was snowy outside.
"We can get dressed but it's still a bit early to go out in the snow, but I can find you some breakfast" Scorpius smiled, lifting Rose off of him before standing up. "Come on, let's find you something to wear."
Hugo and Al followed Scorpius and Rose over to his rucksack, which contained all of his magically shrunken clothes. "I didn't know Rose had some clothes as a 5-year-old" Hugo muttered.
"She doesn't. I shrunk a few bits of her normal teenage wardrobe down for her" Scorpius said, "But she doesn't have any jumpers so I was gonna shrink down one of my jumpers or one of the girls' coats for her" he explained, digging out a t shirt, underwear and jeans for Rose. He handed them to her and said "You go and change into these while I find some more layers for you" he smiled. As Rose ran off, he plunged his hand into his bag again and pulled out a shrunken dark blue jumper. He shrunk it down in size and put it aside for Rose before grabbing out some clothes for himself. He quickly chucked on a shirt, sweatshirt and some trackies, moments before Rose came back in.
"I've got you a jumper, Rosie. Can you try it on for me so I can see if it fits?" he said, giving his jumper to Rose. As she put it on, Scorpius cast a spell to make it a little smaller and then grabbed her hand. "Al, Hugo, I'll take Rose downstairs and get her some breakfast. Do you guys want to join us in a bit?"
"Yeah, we'll just get up. Try not to give in and let her out yet – we'll have to find one of Lily's spare coats or something first" Al grinned.
Scorpius took Rose's hand and led her downstairs. As they passed the girl's room, Lily came out fully dressed and joined them. "The others went back to sleep, but I figured you'll need some help with entertaining Rose" she smiled. "I like her jumper. Where'd it come from?" she asked.
"It's one of Scorp'us'!" Rose giggled. "He made it my size. It's really comfy" she grinned, hugging herself in the jumper. "Can I keep it?"
"Yeah, of course" he smiled, overjoyed that she liked his small gift.
Rose ran ahead down the stairs, leaving Scorpius and Lily to walk side by side down the few remaining stairs.
"Lily, do you have a spare coat or something that I can shrink down for Rose?" Scorpius asked as they reached the bottom.
"Yeah, why?"
"She hasn't got any clothes here that are her size so I need to shrink a few things down temporarily"
"Oh, so that's why she's got your jumper...that was really sweet by the way. Come with me" Lily said, taking his hand and pulling him to the cupboard under the stairs. Lily reached inside and pulled out a dark green coat, a pair of wellies, a dark blue bobble hat and a pair of black gloves. "She'll need shoes, gloves, a hat and a scarf" she explained, reaching into the cupboard again to find a scarf.
"Oh no, it's fine she can have one of mine" Scorpius smirked, summoning his scarf from his bag. Lily laughed as he caught the green Slytherin scarf in his hand.
"She's got to wear that!" she laughed, "And I've got to have a camera ready when Uncle Ron sees her wearing it!" she grinned.
Scorpius laughed with her. "You don't think he'll mind?"
"Maybe a tad, but I'm sure Rosie will love it" she beamed. She smiled as Scorpius shrunk down her belongings and draped them over his arm. They then headed into the kitchen to find Rose sat at the table with a bacon sandwich clutched in her hand.
"Morning, dearies!" Mrs Weasley greeted, handing Scorpius and Lily their own bacon sandwiches. "Did you sleep well?"
"Rose woke us up, so we had to get Scorp down to stay with her, but other than that, yeah we slept really well" Lily smiled. Molly's eyebrows hit the ceiling when she heard Lily.
"You let Scorpius stay the night in the girls' room?"
"Rose fell asleep on him, plus it was 3 in the morning, nana, so we just let him stay. That's all nana. Scorp says that Rose has nightmares if she doesn't sleep with him, so I was gonna ask Aunt Hermione if Rose could stay in Scorpius' room for the rest of the time they're here?" Lily explained.
"Rosie, darling, when you have nightmares, what happens?" Molly asked Rose.
"Well, I wake up crying and my Scorp'us comes and hugs me better" she shrugged. "they were happening every night, So Scorp'us just let me sleep in his bed with him at Hogwarts and the nightmares went away" she smiled, beaming over at Scorpius.
"I'll talk to Hermione about it" Molly nodded to Lily. She couldn't help but smile inside when she heard Rose say "my Scorp'us" so naturally. She knew that her Rosie had fallen in love with the boy when she started talking about him so much after their 4th year, and she was certain now that Scorpius loved her granddaughter just as much.
"So, what are you going to do today?" Molly asked Rose, who was tucking into another bacon sandwich next to Scorpius.
"Lily's gonna show Scorp'us the lake. We're gonna go skating!" she grinned excited.
"Granddad said he checked it and it's safe to skate on, nana, so don't worry" Lily spoke up.
"Okay, I'll go and find out the boots" she smiled, leaving the kitchen in search of about 20 pairs of ice skates.
"I think we should wait for the others before we go skating" Lily said. "Why don't we go and play exploding snap until they wake up?"
