Quick update this time! Don't you just love snow days? Actually, I'm kind of upset that we have one because my school has already gone over the limit and now they're going to shorten spring break : ( which really sucks because that's when I'm going to Harry Potter World in Florida! Has anyone been? Is it totally amazing? I can't wait!

Rose examined herself in the mirror one last time. She had tried out several combinations of outfits to find one that was just right for her date with Roger. Okay, it was really Lily's date, but she was tagging along.

"Who knows," Ally had said. "Maybe Roger's Quidditch playing friend will be hot and you'll hit it off with him." Ally had not been thrilled when Rose had told her about the predicament that she had landed herself in. In a moment of pure rage Ally had likened Rose to a doormat. Rose did not know why she put up with Ally sometimes.

The first outfit that Rose had picked was a cute but very casual sundress with strappy her old flats and flower shaped earrings. Rose didn't even try that one on. She was going to a Quidditch match for Merlin's sake! That outfit made it seem like she was trying too hard. The next choice was way too casual; with a baggy t-shirt and her favorite old pair of jeans. Finally, she went with a short sleeve white cotton blouse and a simple pair of skinny, dark wash denim capris. Rose decided that the outfit was perfect for a person in her…position and for the warm weather that had been predicted for today.

"Lily, are you almost ready to go? The match starts at two and we told Roger that we'd be there by one thirty."

"One more minute Rose. I just have to finish my make up." Rose waited on the couch for Lily to finish. When her cousin walked into the room Rose gawked at her.

"What are you wearing, Lily? This is a Quidditch match we're going to not a club." Lily looked down at her positively tiny powder blue strapless dress and four inch high beige sandals in confusion.

"What's wrong with it? Do you'll think I'll be cold or something? I'm bringing my white sweater just in case."

"Lily, you come from a family of Quidditch fanatics who go to a game at least once a week and you still don't know what normal people wear to a match?"

"It's not like I've ever gone with them though. And we're going to be late if I change my clothes so let's just go. Besides, I think it looks good." While Lily went to retrieve her sweater, Rose grabbed a pink sweatshirt from the couch and grabbed her car keys from the coffee table (she was still out of floo powder).

When the girls got there they were greeted by Roger himself.

"Hi Lily, Rose. Do you girls want to get something to eat before the match begins?" Rose nodded enthusiastically while Lily intertwined her hand in Roger's.

"What can I get you three?" The vendor asked.

"I'll have a hamburger and a butterbeer," Rose said.

"Make that three butterbeers, one for each of us and a tofu hotdog for me, since I'm a vegetarian," Roger interjected.

"Hey Lils, do you want me to order you a cheeseburger?" Rose asked, remembering their conversation of last night.

"No! Rose, I can't eat a cheeseburger, I'm on a strictly vegetarian diet, remember? I'll have a salad please," Roger looked at her in interest while he pulled a few galleons out of his pocket to pay for their food.

"You're a vegetarian? So am I, we've got a lot in common Lily. Rose, did you know that your cousin likes the Tornadoes too? We've got the same taste in food and Quidditch."

"Wow, who would have thought," Rose drawled with a slightly sarcastic edge in her voice. She glared at Lily, who innocently looked back at Rose, batting her mascara enhanced eyelashes.

"Well I'm going to go say hi to my friend. Meet you two back at our seats in a few, okay?"

"Yeah that'd be wonderful. Bye Rog!" Lily called after him.

"Lily, what are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"You adore meat, you hate Quidditch and do you even know who the Tornadoes are?" Lily narrowed her eyes at Rose.

"Relax, I'm sure I can give up meat, it's bad for my figure anyway. And I do too know who the Tornadoes are, Fred never shuts up about that stupid team."

"What are you going to come up with next? That you have a puppy back in France?" Lily's attention snapped away from her manicure and back to Rose.

"Does Rog like dogs?"

"Lily," Rose warned.

"Sorry, forget I said anything."

"Right." The two cousins sat in silence for a while, waiting for Roger to return.

"Lily, Rose, I want you to meet my friend, and the starting keeper for the team, Scorpius Malfoy." Rose turned around to face the irritating blonde.

"So I guess I am seeing you this weekend huh Rose. Lucky me."

"I didn't know you played Quidditch Malfoy, I thought you said that you were a writer."

"I'm a man of many talents, Rose. Not only am I a highly valued writer for the Daily Prophet, but I am also a fabulous Quidditch player," Scorpius told her. Rose just ignored him and his stupid blonde hair.

"You two know each other?" Roger asked his friend and his assistant.

"Yeah, Rose and I go way back-"

"To last week. That's all. He was in my year at Hogwarts."

"Oh hey Scorpius! Rog, he's Al's best mate. He comes around for dinner all the time, Rog. He's practically part of the family," Lily exclaimed. Rose rolled her chocolate brown eyes.

"He's not a part of the family," she muttered under her breath.

"Well I've got to get going. The team is probably wondering where I am. I'll see you three later."

"Bye Scor," Roger shouted after his friend's retreating back.

…..

"So Lily, what do you say about going on a ride after the game? I flew here on my broom and I know that you love flying." Lily looked slightly nervous for a second but she soon regained her aplomb. She flashed Roger a blinding smile.

"You know I'd really love to, but I have to check up on my puppy after this. Missy doesn't like floo, so I left her with my friend Giselle in Paris."

"You have a dog? How come you've never mentioned her before?" Rose asked curiously. Lily looked at Rose, her eyes begging her to play along.

"Oh, I've told you about Missy before haven't I Rose? Remember, she's a white Shih Tzu. I got her a month before I came." Roger frowned at her.

"You shouldn't leave a new puppy so shortly after you've gotten it."

"Oh I know that. That's why I left her with Giselle. Giselle is great with dogs, don't worry."

"I wish you'd brought her. She would have gotten along great with my German Sheppard, Jack."

"Aw, he sounds adorable."

"Yeah, he's pretty awesome." Lily and Roger kept chatting while Rose crammed the hamburger into her mouth in a very unattractive manner.

"Ladies and Gentleman, hold onto your hats because the game's about to begin!" Yelled the announcer. Rose, Lily and Roger cheered as Scorpius and his team flew around the pitch.

After half an hour of watching the competitive play, Rose had to admit that Scorpius was an excellent flyer. He only let three Quaffles pass through the hoops while the other keeper had already allowed eleven shots through, putting Scorpius' team far in the lead.

"Rose, what's going on so far?" Lily whispered for the millionth time. Rose hurriedly explained the last play to her. Lily still looked confused, but went right back to talking with Roger.

All of the sudden Rose and Roger stood up. Lily looked around, before rapidly standing up as well.

"Rose?" Lily asked in confusion.

"The seeker on Scorpius' team is going to catch the snitch!"

"Oh! Go team!" Lily yelled half heartedly.

"Oh my God! He did it! He caught the snitch!" Roger yelled and pulled Lily into a tight hug. Lily laughed and hugged him back. After a few more minutes of celebrating Roger excused himself to go see Timothy, the seeker, demonstrate his famous wronski feint now that the game was over.

"What in the name of Merlin is a wonky faint?" Lily questioned. Rose didn't even have the heart to explain it to her.

"Lily, you can't keep lying to Roger. It's not right."

"Rose, it's not lying. I'll be a vegetarian and I'll buy a puppy."

"Lily, you hate dogs and Quidditch and everything that you're pretending to love!"

"Just don't tell. Do you promise Rose?" Rose held her breath for a long time, looking Lily straight in the eye. On one hand, Lily was Rose's best friend and she didn't know how to say no. On the other hand, she felt wrong allowing Lily to lie to Roger. It wasn't fair that Roger loved Lily when she was just feeding him lies. Rose actually liked dogs and Quidditch, but Roger didn't love her. It was so bloody unfair.

"I promise," Rose said solemnly.
