Disclaimer: I don't own anything dealing with 'Harry Potter.'

Rose followed Albus over to Hugo and James and saw that was where Lily went when she was shooed away. She squeezed herself in between Hugo and James and spent some time goofing around with her cousins and brother. Then the Potters were going to leave, so she gave them hugs and watched as everyone else said some things before their departure.

Once the Potters were out the door, Rose tried to get upstairs, but was caught.

"Rose, don't think you can go upstairs right now." She groaned and followed her mum's voice to the family room where she saw Hugo was lying down on the couch, just like earlier in the day. And just like earlier in the day, Ron came over and moved him to make room for him and Rose. Hugo glared at them.

"There's another settee right over there," he said.

"Then why don't you move over there?" Ron asked him.

Hugo leaned back. "Because I was here first." Rose grinned.

Hermione interrupted and said, "Just because your father and I went along with this doesn't mean we're just going to wave our wands like that and the mess is cleaned up." Hugo frowned.

"And why aren't you?" Hermione smiled.

"Just think of this as your punishment."

"And that's all to punishment then?" he asked.

"Shall I add more? I really didn't think you were the one to like being disciplined, Hugo, but I can add more if you think I wasn't being hard enough on you two."

Rose shouted "no" at the same time Hugo had.

"What I meant was why you were letting us off so easily. And I don't want anything else added to that," he quickly said.

"Let's just say I actually enjoyed myself for a moment there," she said, "get to cleaning right now, please, I want the dining room and kitchen refreshed and that includes the dishes." She kissed Ron before kissing her two children on the cheek and heading upstairs.

"And what do we get out of – now I remember," Hugo said, turning to his father.

Ron smiled. "You'll get the money once the place is cleaned up," he said. Hugo sighed deeply and loudly.

"Fine," he said. He tagged along behind Rose as they went upstairs to change their attire to something more suited to wash and clean. Rose was about to put her foot on the bottom step when a force on her back nearly made her stumble forward and fall flat on her face on the stairs. Her flailing hands caught hold of the railing and she managed to stay rooted upwards.

"What – Hugo! What was that?" Rose looked at Hugo.

"I just wanted to ride on your back to see if you could get me upstairs," he said, smiling. "I knew you wouldn't but it was fun watching you about to fall." He mocked her arm movement thrashing around.

"I can get you upstairs," she said. Really, she didn't know if she would be able, but it seemed really fun and stupid – two topics Hugo would know about – and decided to give a try.

He shrugged. "If you say so." He jumped on her back and Rose nearly fell over again. "Come on, Rose, only a bunch more stairs to climb!" Rose gripped the railing and put one foot on the bottom step before the other joined it. She had only made it up three steps when she gave up.

"Merlin, Hugo! Your eating habits take after dad, huh?"

"I heard that!" Ron called from the family room.

Rose smiled. "Sorry!" She ascended the rest of the staircase and turned into her room.

She descended five minutes later wearing a t – shirt and an old pair of jeans. Hugo was already in the dining room wearing pretty much what Rose was wearing. He was sitting in a chair with his head down on the table. Rose crept over to him and rapped her hand against his head a couple of times.

"Wake up, sleepy, we've got cleaning to do!" Hugo raised his head and glared at her.

"Let's just get this over with," he yawned. Rose looked at a clock and saw it was a few minutes after eleven.

"Aw, little thirteen year old boy can't stay up past his bedtime?" Rose teased even though she was dead tired too. He stood up and with a smile he 'accidentally' bumped into her. Slowly they started with the dining room and managed to clean up everything sporting whipped cream. They made their way into the kitchen and split the dishes up evenly to try and get finished faster.

"Finally," Hugo said as he stifled another yawn when they had pretty much concluded with the cleaning. He dropped the rag he had been using in the sink and left without saying anymore, no doubt to get some sleep. Rose yawned and went to check the clock again. Fifteen minutes after twelve. Her dad was no longer in the family room so she assumed he had went upstairs and was sleeping; which was what she needed to be doing right now. She turned the lights in the kitchen and dining room off before she dragged herself back upstairs.

Rose was able to get her now filthy clothes off and slipped into her nice nightclothes. She was about to crawl into her bed after she had finished brushing her teeth, but noticed something on her desk. Something brown. She made her way over and saw it was just an owl with a note attached to it. She looked at it enviously; it was sleeping. She was wondering if she should read the letter now or let it wait until morning.

She sighed, sat down, and turned a little light on before reading the parchment.

Hey Rose,

I was trying to tell you this over at your house, but apparently Albus wanted to talk to you first. What were you guys talking about? Oh, wait, you don't have to answer that. Anyway, guess who just asked me out! I bet you'll never guess who!

Lily

Rose's heart stopped beating for a second there. Who had asked her out? She wanted to think on it more, but her droopy eyelids and aching knees and arms had another idea. She turned the light back off and shut her window. Shuffling over to her bed and pulling the blankets back, Rose crumpled under and fell asleep.

A/N: I know I say this about every chapter, but excuse the shortness. Originally, that wasn't how the story ended, but books and candy gave me this idea when she reviewed saying she wanted to hear what Lily was going to say to Rose in the last chapter. I was just going to have Lily walk over to let you guys see how Rose was sorta jealous of her. So thanks books and candy!
