Rose clambered out of bed yawning, it was Saturday and normally she would still have been in her cosy, warm bed, but Al had scheduled the tryouts for the new beater for half past nine that morning. Groaning, she prodded Amie in the side. Amie was Rose's best friend, so had agreed to come down to the pitch with her. Sometimes Rose couldn't understand why she and Amie were best friends, they were so different. Amie was tall, pretty and had an amazing personality, boys adored her and everyone was friendly to her. Whereas Rose, well Rose was small, with freckles and flaming red curly hair and the personality of an angry hippogriff most of the time, and to top it all off she was a Weasley.

Amie rubbed her eyes, and then dragged on some clothes while Rose sat her bed waiting.

"Rose" Amie yawned "why can't you go alone?"

"Because you promised you would come with me" Rose replied bluntly "And any way Albus is there" Amie perked up at this, and the two of them walked down to the great hall to meet with Lilly.

Lilly was sitting next to Albus and Scorpius when they reached the hall, Lilly and Albus were chatting animatedly and Scorpius was picking at some food when Rose and Amie sat down.

"Hey Rosie, hey Amie" He smiled as they stared to eat, Rose noticed his carefully styled hair and matching clothes and wondered how on earth he had managed to achieve that in such a short time that sleep was still in his eyes, when she had pulled on the closest clothes and hadn't bothered to brush her already haywire hair, just tie it up into a wonky bun on the top of her head. A little part of her envied him.

"Hello Scorpius, how come you look so great and everything and I look like I haven't slept?" she blurted out before her sleepy mind could stop her; she blushed deeply and looked down. Merlin she thought why on earth did I have to go and blurt that out.

"Because I am me, I always look great even early on a Saturday morning and to answer you second question yes you do look like you haven't slept, and do I see toothpaste smeared up across your cheek?" Scorpius answered lightly with a lazy smile and a slight chuckle, Rose's eyes grew and she started scrubbing at her cheeks with her hand, causing him to laugh even harder. Glaring at him Rose pulled a plate of bacon and eggs towards her and chewed silently till Albus got up and told them to go down to the Quidditch pitch to get ready.

Amie and Rose got to their feet and looked upwards to see what the weather would be like, Rain Rose thought Great.

"Hey Rose, um do you mind if I go get an umbrella?" Amie asked when they reached the entrance hall, Rose nodded but doubted she would see Amie down at the pitch; she would probably make some excuse up so she didn't have to sit in the rain. Sighing Rose walked on.

After a few steps Scorpius came to her side and placed an arm lazily over her shoulders, she turned away from him and carried on walking, childish yes but Rose thought he deserved it.

"Rosie? Wait! Look I am sorry it was just a joke" Scorpius said as he matched his strides to Rose's then pulled her to a stop, his expression pleading. Rose rolled her eyes then sighed

"Fine, but let's go were going to be late and Albus will defiantly kill me" Glanced at his smiling face she sighed once more and carried on, but not before Scorpius pulled her in to an awkward one armed hug.

Half way down to the pitch Scorpius casually mentioned that the toothpaste hadn't gone from her cheek, so she smacked his arm and hurried to the changing rooms before someone else mentioned anything about minty smears on her cheek.

The rain has gotten worse, and the few faces in the stands were blurred and indistinct. Rose looked miserably at Lilly who didn't look exactly thrilled to be going out on the wet pitch either, and silently formed a plan to either suddenly be sick or to knock Al of his broom so as to end it as soon as possible.

After a few minutes in the air Rose was shivering, she couldn't feel her hands or her feet, and she could barely see Al with the people trying for beater. A little niggling of a headache that she hadn't noticed at breakfast became more prominent with the cold and wet she was sitting in. Lilly hovered next to her 10 feet in the air, unwilling to go any higher, they sat in silence occasionally blowing on their cold hands, or in Rose's case rubbing her temples to try and dim the banging headache that was shooting out licks of pain across her forehead. She closed her eyes and sighed, that's better she thought.

"Rose?" Lilly tugged at her arm. Rose forced open her eyes and looked at her cousin through the rain, she was shivering and her long red hair was plastered against her head.

"Hmmm" Rose answered, the headache was starting to get really bad and moving her mouth to speak just made it worse.

"Rose, are you okay? You look really pale and you keep swaying on your broom" Lilly said loudly a hint of concern in her voice.

"M'okay, just a bit of a headache" Rose replied, she closed her eyes again and slumped forward a little bit on her broom. Why is the pain so bad? She asked herself, I've never had a headache like this before. Lilly said something else but Rose didn't hear, a warm numbness had suddenly spread across her body and she gratefully fell into the blackness, all headache pains and freezing rain gone.
