CHAPTER 12

Disclaimer: No Harry Potter. What a shame.

Oh my goodness! I have... (drumroll, please) 50 reviews! That makes... 51 reviews total, including my other story, and you have noooo clue how happy I am. Reviews = happy me. Happy me = more story. More story = happy readers. Happy readers = Reviews! So review!

As Rose took a seat in the circle once again, she noticed Lily eyeing her suspiciously. Don't worry, thought Rose. I won't touch your man... but that isn't to say someone else won't.

"Lily," called Rose, making a decision quickly. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

Rose smiled grimly at the girl who used to be her best friend and picked up the bottle of Veritaserum. "Okay. Come over here."

Lily stood up slowly and walked over to Rose, accepting the potion and taking a sip. She shuddered. "What do you want to know, Weasley?"

"Do you think Scorpius would ever cheat on you?"

Lily's expression of distaste deepened into a scowl. "No. Not that it's any of your business. But what we have, it's just too strong to be broken by any of that. He would never..." Lily's voice trailed off. "What are you saying?"

"Lily... I saw him. He was cheating on you with a Hufflepuff today. I followed him."

"You're lying!" Lily glared at Rose. "You just want me to be unhappy."

Rose growled. "I'm telling the freaking truth, Lily!"

"I don't believe you."

Rose didn't even reply. Instead, she stomped away, slamming the door behind her.

Taking deep breaths to calm herself down, Rose began walking steadily back to the prefect bathroom, ready to take another bath. Suddenly a door to the dungeons flew open and a black-haired Slytherin girl that she knew she had seen before burst out.

"Weasley? Is that you?"

"Yes," Rose answered, wondering how the girl knew her name. "And you are?"

"Tracy Williams. You know me."

Rose nodded, still not knowing exactly where she had seen the girl before. "Oh. I guess I do."

The girl grinned. "You're crushing on Scorpius, right?"

Now she knew where she'd seen the girl before. It was Brent's sister. The one who'd overheard her outburst in her fight with Lily. "What? No!"

"It's okay. Don't be ashamed. It's not like I'm going to tell anyone."

Rose exhaled. "Good."

"Who am I kidding? I'll tell everyone." She tossed her shiny black hair over her shoulder. "But you're dating my brother, is that right?"

Rose nodded feebly. "Yes, I am."

"Interesting. Just wait until I tell. He won't be too happy, and I'll love seeing his broken heart." The girl smirked.

"You're brother and sister!"

Brent's sister grimaced. "I just hate that boy. He's my parent's favorite, see? It's like I don't exist. They don't..." She choked out the last few words. "They don't love me." A single tear trailed down her cheek.

"That doesn't mean you have to crush him!" Rose's voice was edging on hysteria.

The girl angrily brushed at her eyes. "It's who I am. And it's none of your business."

"Please. Please don't."

The Slytherin turned away. "Too late!" she cackled, racing towards the party before disappearing around a bend in the hallway.

"Merlin," Rose cried, tears turning into sobs. "What have I done?" She held her head in her arms, wailing until she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Oh my god. Do you follow me everywhere?"

Who is it? ... Well, duh. Who else could it BE? Review! Review! I might post another one soonly... If you guys, you know, review... *hint, hint*
