Scorpius-
"Wake up! Wake up, Scorpius!" said Rose.
Scorpius awoke from his lovely liaison with his lady lover. He sat up and stretched and looked at Rose. She was already dressed. Scorpius looked a little confused, though. "How did you get your clothes?"
"Don't ask. It was really hard."
Scorpius nodded and put on the clothes that he was wearing the night before. No one could really tell because everybody wore the same thing in their house. Rose was adjusting her tie in the mirror and Scorpius snuck up behind her and started kissing her neck. Rose genteelly nudged him off, but he kept going.
"Oh for Merlin's sake, brush your teeth or something!"
Scorpius made a puppy face and Rose rolled her eyes and kissed him. The childish smile appeared on his face again.
"Listen, I know that I told you that the ring was the surprise, but it wasn't," said Scorpius.
Rose turned around, "What is it?" she said.
"I was thinking about not going away with my parents for Christmas. I was thinking about just spending time with you."
Rose's eyes were twinkling with excitement, "Of course!" she exclaimed.
She ran into his arms and practically killed him with her embrace. The first bell rang.
"I have to go. Until later, then?" she said.
"Until later," he said and kissed her hand.
Lily-
In Defense Against The Dark Arts, Lily was writing her father instead of taking notes (typical Slytherin). She took out her eagle feather quill and started writing.
Father,
Hogwarts isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I made a few new friends and I think that I might want to be a prefect my fifth year. How's life at home? James and Albus aren't too thrilled that I made Slytherin, but I know that you don't mind. It's like what you said to Albus his first year, "The Slytherin House will have gained a wonderful young wizard." Well, I wouldn't call myself wonderful or spectacular, but I'm not that bad. My favorite class so far is Herbology. The teacher claims that he knows you. He says I look just like Mum (not that I don't get that every day. I'm like her clone). Yesterday I learned that if you feed the gamekeeper dog, Pim, any human food, he'll beg for more. I know you truly miss the old gamekeeper, but the new one isn't half bad. I wish to have met whoever you used to call him, Hagrid was it? I am currently not a fan of History of Magic. It's so boring because it happened at least a billion years ago. They won't talk about the war at Hogwarts because, "That's for the seventh years!", quoting my teacher. Don't worry, nothing shady is going on here. Please write me soon!
With Love,
Lily
P.S.- What on earth is an Animagus?
She folded the parchment and sealed it in the envelope she sneaked away.
Roxanne-
"Psst! Lorcan!" said Roxanne.
Lorcan turned around and found Roxanne behind one of the columns. Lorcan nonchalantly walked over, a bit confused.
"Yeah?"
Roxanne looked around and pulled Lorcan to the side where no one could see them. "I have to ask you something."
"If this is about going to the Yule Ball with me I already know someone who really wants to go with you."
Roxanne broke focus and raised her brow. "Who?"
"Um...uhh...Lysander?"
Roxanne sighed, "I can't go with him, I'm going with Robert, remember? My boyfriend."
Lorcan rolled his eyes, "I know."
"Look, I wanted to ask you about Lysander, though. You see, I have these recurring dreams."
Lorcan stopped her right there and covered his ears, "I this is about you shagging with my brother than you've come to the wrong person."
Roxanne rolled her eyes and sighed, "Will you grow up? That's not what it's about. I mean it was romantic and stuff, but I never thought of him that way. But, now I think I might," she whispered.
"Will you elaborate on that, please?"
"I can't. Robert and I are exclusive-ish now," she hesitated.
"You hesitated on that. You don't really care about him, do you?" he said.
"I do so!" she yelled. "A bit. He's nice to me."
Lorcan nodded his head and had a giant sarcastic grin on his face. "You want to be with Lysander instead of Robert, right?"
"I didn't say that I wanted to be with him," she said.
"But you implied it."
"I did no such thing!"
Lorcan started laughing at her facial expression. She was blushing and her eyes were open wide with embarrassment.
"Okay, fine. Maybe I'd trade in Robert for something nicer, like Lysander, but I can't do it now."
"Well you're going to have to figure out a way to because Lysander is very sensitive. If you hurt him he'll be crushed." Lorcan walked away and Roxanne stood there nervously.
Fred-
"Mail call!" said the stubby man with the husky voice.
Fred was tapping his finger very loudly that Rose was forced to put his finger flat on the table. "Stop. Doing. That. Now," she said angrily.
"I'm sorry. It's just that I'm waiting for Stephanie to write to me and it's been ages and..." then a letter dropped in front of his plate. It was addressed, Fred Weasley. The return address was from an unknown. Fred opened it carefully and then the smell of sunflowers came from the long piece of parchment that had beautiful handwriting on it. It was from Stephanie.
"You gonna read it?" said Rose.
"Not in front of you," he exclaimed. He walked away from the Gryffindor table and ran outside near the lake. He unfolded the parchment again and read to himself.
Dear Fred,
In answer to your question, yes I did get all fifteen of your letters. I only have owl access at my school so I could only write you back when the term started. I'm very excited to come see you at Hogwarts. Oh, and Roxanne knew that I was coming too. I wonder why she didn't tell you. Oh well, the good thing is I'm coming and I'm so excited. I really want you to know that I miss you terribly. My parents grew very fond of you over this summer. Hope you get this soon.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
"Well, maybe this time I'll have her. Maybe this time," he said.
