"Victory party tonight in the room of requirement!" James shouted as he stepped into the common room. Cheers erupted because who doesn't like a good party?

Everyone was invited to the victory party, from any of the houses. Victory parties were always crazy; just last week at the Hufflepuff one three students went missing. They were eventually found the next day around one in the afternoon locked in a broom closet on the third floor.

It was difficult to smuggle so many people from other houses into the victor's common room, so we moved all parties to the Room of Requirement.

James was still on a high from the win, and was being extremely obnoxious.

"I can't wait to get my party on tonight!" he shouted at the dinner table that night. We all rolled our eyes. He had said that about five times already.

Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry came over and said their goodbyes to us.

"Be careful," Aunt Ginny said, " All of you. I went to my fair share of victory parties. I know what goes on."

"Yeah," said Uncle Harry, "You should of seen your mum in her fifth year, she used to-ow! Never mind."

After they had left, I gave one last glance around the hall for Scorp.

"Al, are you sure Scorp is alright? I haven't seen him since the match."

Al shrugged. "I haven't seen him since the locker rooms. I bet he'll be at the party though, he said he would."

I nodded and looked around once more. Sarah put her hand reassuringly on my arm.

"He's alright Rose," she said, "He's probably just a little upset over the match."

"Yeah...probably."

...

That night, Sarah and I casually snuck our way to the room of requirement. It was best if people went in spurts, that way no one would attract the attention of a professor.

We carefully walked back and forth in front of the room thinking hard I want to go to the party. The door appeared in front of us, and we slipped inside.

The party was already starting to be in full swing. People were milling around, lounging on the couches, eating food.

I looked around for Scorpius, but I couldn't see him anywhere.

"Look there's Roxy! Let's go see her!"

We chatted with Roxy for a bit, and others that came around. Dom excitingly told us about the letter she had received that day from Will.

"It was so cute! In the last letter he asked if I would be coming this summer to Nan's house and I told him that I assumed so since I had been going there every summer since I was born. Then in today's letter he said that he's counting down the days until he can see me! Isn't that adorable?!"

I smiled and nodded. "That is adorable Dom, I'm happy you finally found the right guy for you! Even if you've only met him twice in real life."

Dom rolled her eyes at me. "Yeah but I feel like I really know him! I mean we've been exchanging letters for months! I've got a plan."

Sarah and I both raised our eyebrows.

"It's a good one!" Dom insisted. "By this summer I will hopefully of passed my apparation test! Then I can visit him all the time, and just tell him that I'm living at Nan's for the summer. Then we will continue exchanging letters during my seventh year, and then afterwards I can finally date him officially. Once we become serious, I'll drop the whole wizard thing on him, and we'll get married and live happily ever after!"

I snorted, "Yeah, that's if he takes the whole wizarding thing well, and doesn't check himself into a mental institution."

Dom gave me a sour look. "He'll take it well. Because he'll love me."

Sarah laughed, "That sounds like a great plan Dom, I'm glad you have this all figured out. What's the wedding colors going to be?"

Dom glared at us, "You laugh now, just you wait. And they are going to be silver and lavender."

"I honestly hope that happens Dom," I said, then I saw Scorpius walk into the room. "Excuse me."
I strode up to him.

"Hey Scorp," I said warmly. His response was a weak smile, and a little nod.

"Oh, hey Rose."

My smile weakened just a tiny bit. "I haven't seen you all day, where have you been?"

He glanced around the room, trying to avoid my gaze. "Nowhere. If you would excuse me, I need to talk to Daniel."

And with that he brushed past me. I turned and watched his silver hair as her walked away from me. Sarah came up from behind me.

"Are you ok Rose? What did he say?"
I took a deep breath and turned around. "Nothing. He's being weird. Let's go have fun."

...

The rest of the night Scorpius didn't talk to me. Not once. I tried having fun dancing and talking with my friends. But I couldn't help constantly raking my eyes around the room to try to find him in the crowd. Finally I had enough. I was going to hunt him down and figure out what was wrong.

I spotted him from across the room. He was sitting with some other Slytherin's, a bottle of fire whiskey in hand.

I took a deep breath and approached him.

"Scorpius."

He turned to look at me. Immediately it was obvious he was drunk.

I had never been around him when he was drunk before. I had seen him a little buzzed, but never to this point. He wasn't one to get to this point. I was a little nervous of how he was going to act.

He stared at me, a bitter expression on his face. I was taken aback for a second. I hadn't seen him give me a look like this for years. Not since when he hated me.

"Scorpius what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

He was lying. It was obvious.

"Scorpius come on, you've been avoiding me all night. Something is wrong."

Scorpius glared at me. "I said nothing is wrong Rose. Now leave me alone, I'm having a conversation. "

I took a step forward, getting frustrated. "Why are you being such a twat?"

Scorpius stood up. I took a step backwards. "Why do you always have to be in my business?"

We were drawing attention from the people around us now. I saw Albus take a step forward towards me, but I put up my hand to stop him.

"Is this about the game? You did a good job Scorpius, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself."

"Stop saying that," Scorpius spat.

I stared at him. "No I'm not, because you did do great Scorp. You had so many great steals, and you made thr-"

"ONLY THREE BLOODY GOALS," Scorp shouted, "A bloody first year could do better than that! Three goals!"

"At least it's better than no goals," I interjected, my voice getting louder, "You could of not of got the quaffle at all! Slipped of your broom and gone to the hospital wing!"

"I SAID STOP. I've only made four goals this year! I SHOULD BE MAKING FOUR GOALS EVERY TWENTY MINUTES NOT IN TWO GAMES. THE FIRST GAME I ONLY GOT ONE GOAL! ONE BLOODY GOAL OFF OF A THIRTEEN YEAR MUDBLOOD."

"What did you just say."

My heart had stopped beating in my chest. I couldn't breathe anymore.

The anger drained from his face when he looked at me. Tears were welling up in my eyes.

"Rose-"

"No." I took a shaky step backwards.

"Rose, I-"

"No." I repeated.

He took a step towards me.

I turned away from him. And I ran.
