"Rose, listen to me!" Hugo's the most authoritative he thinks that he's ever been with his older (wiser) sister, his eyes trying to bore into ones that only seem to resemble obsidian glass: they're cold, shining, reflective, as though there's nothing inside. "He's not worth it; you've got to let it go!"
Only now, does she manage a smile. "You're wrong, Hugo, dear," she says, but it's not her voice; oh no, it's something light and airy, a voice that sounds sinister to Hugo, who's used to his big (better) sister being so in control.
"Oh, am I?" he raises an eyebrow as he stands before Rose Weasley, "Go on then, Rosie, tell me what you're going to miss about Scorpius Malfoy. Let me guess, you've become as materialistic as he is, and you're going to miss living an opulent lifestyle, one filled with luxury and comfort, because he's got more money than sense. Is that it?" he's trying to rile her into something, anything that gets her out of this char.
But she doesn't rise; why would she? She's not moved for almost three days now, no matter what anyone has said, and he sincerely doubts that she's going to move now.
"You're wrong," she mutters; he can barely hear her, but he manages to make out the softly uttered words from the tiny movements of her drained lips. "He loves me. I love him. All I'm doing is…waiting…for him to come back to me, that's all."
Hugo sighs and turns away in frustration, wanting to agree and tell her that Scorpius is coming back for her.
(But he knows that Scorpius and that blonde tart are already planning the wedding, so he sincerely doubts it will happen.)
