I'm sorry… :/ I know it's been so long, but I just haven't had the energy recently, I've been so busy with school work and revision, then I've really ill for a week a so, but I'm on the mend! And have finally finished this Chapter! :D YAY!
Chapter 3 :D about bloody time I know :S
"Mum, Dad!" Rose tried to shout, but no sound came out of her mouth. She stared at the scene in front of her in horror. It was her parents, young and youthful, surrounded by people in black cloaks and masks. Their faces were bruised and blooded, as they attempted to fight their way through the people in front of them. Rose tried to run forwards to them, but the faster she ran the further away they got. She watched as the hooded wizards raised their wands at her parents, tears rolled down her face as her parents clutched each other with their eyes shut tightly. There was a huge flash of green light then Hermione and Ron crumpled to the floor. Rose screamed; the hooded figures turned towards her, their wands raised. There was a shout and a flash of light.
Rose's eyes snapped open and she gasped loudly, she could feel herself shaking.
"Oi! Shhhh, it's alright Rose, you were only dreaming, shhhh, calm down" Rose recognised Scorpius's voice, she was then aware of his arms around her; he was rocking her as if she were a small child. She lifted a hand to her face and found she had been crying, she wiped the tears away her face becoming hot.
"You alright, Rose?" said Albus, his hand on top of hers. She looked at him and smiled weakly.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, just bad dream" she said pulling herself off of Scorpius; she was embarrassed that Scorpius had witnessed that.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked, eyeing her worryingly.
"No, it's fine, it's alright, just a dream like you said" she smiled at him.
"If you're sure then; we better change; we'll be at Hogwarts shortly." Rose left the compartment to give the boys privacy, then they for her. Once they were all dressed in their robes they settled back down waiting for the train to arrive at Hogsmead.
No matter how hard she tried Rose couldn't shake the dream off. She had heard stories of what her parents had done for the Wizarding world, she knew the story like the back of her hand, but everyone did, and they even studied it in History of Magic. However, she couldn't help feel like she barely knew the story at all. Her parents didn't like to talk about it, but she didn't blame them, sometimes she could hear her mother scream out and cry in her sleep. She knew that they had faced horrors, things she couldn't ever imagine having to face so young. It angered her sometimes that she, her brother and cousins, didn't know more about their own parents childhoods. As the train continued forward Rose began to think about what her parents school days had been like, besides the danger and adventure, they still did their OWL's, there was a TriWizard Tournament when they were there, they had a Yule Ball. She couldn't help but wonder what all that had been like, she felt rude asking and when she couldn't stop herself from asking, her mother just giggled and told her it was just school, whilst her father refused to say anything. Unconsciously, Rose began to twirl the Time Tuner in her hand; she'd taken to wearing it round her neck during the holidays.
"Rose? What are you thinking about? If it's anything to do with that bloody thing you're wearing round your neck, you better stop it now!" Said Albus sternly, glaring at Rose.
"I wasn't thinking…" she stopped; a thought had suddenly come to her. She looked over towards Scorpius and grinned. He look confused but then, catching on, grinned back. They had spent a lot of time after Christmas discussing ways they could use the Time Turner.
"I have an idea, and I think this is the one Scorp, we should use this to go back to when our parents were at Hogwarts, and find out more about them. I was just thinking if they refuse to tell us, we should use this to find out for ourselves"
"I like your thinking, Flower, what do you think about it short arse?" said Scorpius turning to Albus, who had a complete look of horror upon his face.
"NO, NO, NO AND NO BLOODY NO!" He shouted his voice unnaturally high.
"Come on Al, I know that you want to know more too, don't deny it" Rose replied, wriggling her eyebrows at him.
"Yeah… but… you know… you…. Me….them….NO" stuttered Albus, becoming uncertain. He would love to know all about his parents, his dad's past intrigued him. Rose gave him a knowing look.
"Well, alright, yeah, I want to know more, but using the Time Turner, think about how dangerous that would be! I mean, what if we're seen? What if we get killed?" he asked his voice rising again.
"Bit over the top don't you think Al?" Asked Scorpius, rolling his eyes at his best friend, "We're hardly going to get killed are we, we'll be at Hogwarts"
Albus just stared at him defeated. Rose beamed at Scorpius and blushed when he returned her look.
"So, when we going?" he asked, hushing Albus with a silencing charm as he had begun to protest again. Albus clutched his mouth giving Scorpius a scandalised look.
"I think we should wait till the Easter Holidays, we'll then have two weeks to find out as much as possible, how does that sound?" Rose said, her eyes on Scorpius, completely ignoring Albus, who was flapping his arms about his face red with anger.
"Perfect" said Scorpius, standing as the train began to slow, "If you stop flapping, I'll let you talk again, but you have to promise to not shout, I don't think my ears will be able to take your girlish squeals" he said to Albus, chuckling. Albus nodded frowning. With a mutter and flick of his wand Scorpius took the charm away from Albus.
"I hate you"
"No you don't" Scorpius replied, chucking Albus's bag to him before leaving the compartment, followed by Rose, who was beaming. Albus followed mumbling grumpily to himself. He knew he was going to regret this.
Well :D Hopefully I should be updating a little bit quicker next time :L I've already finished half of the next chapter, so if all goes to plan and I don't die (not planning to :P) It should be up in the next few days! Let me know what you think.
