A/N: This chapter is very short, and for that I do apologise, but I couldn't help but give you some suspense! Review for the plot to unfold! You won't be disappointed! – a smirking R xx
In the Previous Chapter…
"This evening is going to be great" Scorpius said, hugging Rose's waist. "Would you care for another dance?"
Scorpius and Rose were joined on the dance floor by the rest of the table, and soon they were walzing away. Scorpius regretfully let Rose dance with Al, Hugo, Jack, Lorcan and Lysander, but when they'd each had a dance, snatched her back playfully. "You're mine for tonight" he whispered seductively in her ear, making her shiver. He led her back to their table after a few more dances, and the pair had another drink before circulating the hall, talking politely to their guests.
Rose and Scorpius circulated the hall for about 20 minutes, not only saying hi to their fellow students but talking with the adult guests. Scorpius was just about to pull Rose away from a conversation with Luna Scamander nee Lovegood when he spotted someone he never expected to see with two adults. Rose looked up at Scorpius, noticed he was staring and followed his line of vision. She immediately went pale.
"What's he doing here?" she whispered almost inaudibly, but Scorpius heard.
"I don't know, I don't remember selling him a ticket" Scorpius seethed. "Why the fuck would he turn up when there are so many people that would want to kill him in this room?" he said through gritted teeth. "Rose, don't go anywhere near him. We need to find my dad, your parents and McGonagall" he said, turning Rose around, smiling to Mrs Scamander and quickly walking away. They quickly found McGonagall, who was talking to an elderly witch.
"Excuse me, Professor, we had an issue. It's a matter of urgency" Rose frowned, shaking slightly.
"What is the problem, Miss Weasley?" McGonagall asked, concerned when she saw how pale the head girl was, who was shaking so violently that Scorpius had to hold her upright.
"McLaggen is here, Professor" Scorpius said quietly.
