3rd Year
"Stop! Scorpius!" Rose laughed as he was tickling her, flailing her legs everywhere. It was their third year and two of them were yet again joined at the hip alongside Rose's cousin, Albus, and her best friend, Katie.
"Ok, Scorp! Show my cousin some mercy!" Albus replied laughing at Rose's misery. He then looked over at Katie but looked away fast because he was notoriously shy. He did not quite know how to approach her or how they could ever approach each other. Scorpius showed Rosie some mercy as he took his hands off her sides and released her. Rose sighed in relief.
"Quit torturing me!" Rose teased jumping on Scorpius's back. Scorpius caught her. It was hard not to catch her because of how tiny she was, standing proud at 5 foot 4 inches. Scorpius definitely grew and his voice was getting deeper. Yet they were still in the awkward stages. "Katie, why didn't you defend me?"
"Haha! Rose, you and I both know you can help yourself!" Katie laughed jokingly knowing Rose was notorious for being stubborn. She whispered to Albus. "I think they will be more than friends someday."
"I doubt it." Albus whispered back. "My Uncle Ron would never allow that one. Maybe Aunt Hermione."
"I hope they will be more than friends. I mean look at Rosie. She's so happy!" Katie said.
"I think there will plenty of time for them the next few years." Albus replied. "I don't know what to think. I can't say that my cousin can't date my best friend with out approval."
"If they broke up, it would be awkward." Katie responded.
"They aren't even together… yet." Albus retorted. "We'll play it by ear."
At quidditch practice, Rosie stood next to James and the remaining members of the team for this year's tryouts. She smiled at the incoming students shooting them a reassuring smile that one of them would make the team for each of the positions or at least a sub. She looked over in the line and spotted her youngest cousin, Lily Potter. "James, be nice to her." Rose whispered.
"I can't pick favorites Rose." James responded back to her firmly. "If my sister was terrible and made the team, everyone would know why." Rose smiled at James knowing his point was valid.
"I don't know if she'd forgive you though." Rose responded. Yeah Lily would forgive her older brother knowing he'd do everything in his power to make it up to her. Aunt Ginny would have a fit otherwise and would probably ground him in the house. It was James' last year as quidditch captain, and he was hoping to get recruited to go and play professional quidditch.
"Hi James." A girl said giggling. It looked like Rosemary Brown-Zambini, Lavender's daughter. Ugh Rose shivered in disgust.
"Oh hi. I'm sorry have we met?" James asked the girl.
"Ew" Rose thought. "He's actually talking to her!"
"Fuck you James." Rosemary said. "Fuck you. You don't remember our night of shagging? Even though we were perfectly sober!"
Shagging? What's shagging? Rose was curious now. "Not around my cousin!" James retorted. "And my youngest sister." It's gotta be worse than snogging.
"Ummm… James?" Rose asked. "What's shagging?"
"Nothing that a little 3rd Year should know anything about." James said.
"I'll tell Aunt Ginny!" Rosie retorted.
"Rosie it's when two people love each other or feel excited about each other. But don't talk about it with your friends." James said firmly. "Now please leave Rosemary. This is a closed practice."
Rosemary swallowed her pride and left James alone. Poor girl. Rosie sighed and proceeded to practice. Rose kept wondering what it would be like to shag someone. Yet she didn't know anything about anything. She hadn't even snogged someone.
