Chapter 2 Fairytales
It was the first day of the Christmas break. James and I had just gotten off the train to see our parents, when I remembered that I hadn't said good-bye to Scorpius. I quickly ran back to the train to look for him. I couldn't find him anywhere. I looked in every compartment, but to no prevail. I slowly walked back out of the train dragging my feet. I was looking at the ground, not watching where I was walking, when someone ran right into me. I fell to the ground and was about to yell at them when I saw that it was Scorpius. I quickly jumped up before I helped him up.
"Oh my Merlin, I thought you had left already, I couldn't find you anywhere. Where were you?" I asked quickly, not taking a single breath the whole time.
"Oh, I was about to walk through the gate, but then I remembered I had to say something to you." He answered. I looked up at him before giving him a huge hug.
"What did u have to say?" I asked, a little bit scared.
"That I have a surprise for you for when we get back to school." He replied mysteriously. I hit him playfully on the arm.
"I don't like surprises, you knew that." I admonished.
"Rose. Rose! ROSE!" I herd James yelling. I turned around to face where he was running from.
"WHAT?!" I yelled back to him. People turned to see what we were yelling about, all but the Gryfindors that is, they were used to this already.
"We have to go now, mum, dad, Uncle Ron, Aunt Mione, and everyone else are waiting for us. Even Teddy." James replied softer as he reached us. My eyes lit up with excitement. I turned back to Scorpius to good-bye, but he had already gone. I turned back sadly and left with James by my side.
We walked through the gate and made our way to our bug family. When I saw Teddy I ran up to him and gave him a huge hug. I laughed loudly as he spun me around. After he set me back down onto my feet I kissed his cheek.
"Missed you Teddy." I said sadly looking down at the ground. Teddy lifted my head up with his fingers so that I was looking into his eyes.
"Don't be sad, I missed you too, came over a few days after you left and asked about you. I think everyone missed your happiness." He replied sombrely. I gave him a huge hug and kissed his cheek again.
"Aww, where's my hug?" I heard a familiar voice ask. I turned around and saw Uncle George standing there. I ran over to him and gave him a HUGE hug while he spun me around.
"Uncle George, I missed you so much, I hated being in class and not being able to write to you. And I don't like getting up early." I complained softly, so that no one else could over hear us.
"Tell you what, bring the book to History of Magic and Charms and if they ask what you're doing just say that your writing notes. How does that sound?" he asked sincerely. I looked at him like he was crazy. Well, maybe he was a little bit crazy, but he was my Uncle, he was allowed to be.
"Professor Binns left last year, didn't you hear, we got a new teacher, he walks around the class to make sure we're working. And Professor Flitwick doesn't let us bring our books in anymore, all we do is practise charms now." I replied sadly. Now it was his turn to look at me like I was crazy.
"You mean, less notes to take, more spells to do? Man, I wish it were like that when I was there, I used to get bored stupid. Just say it's the only way you can contact me, and if you can't talk to me then you get upset, or something to that effect." Uncle George suggested. I looked at him and smiled, he always knew what to say to make me feel better.
"Rose, time to go now." Mum said before giving me a tight hug. We all walked to the car park and aparated back home.
After dinner that night I decided to write to Scorpius to see what he was going to be doing during the holidays. I walked up to my room and shut the door behind me. I was about to walk over to me desk to start writing the letter when I saw Scorpius sitting on my bed. I jumped back in shock before walking over to him.
"Scorpius, what are you doing here?" I asked confused. He disappeared twice today and now he's in my room.
"I thought I would come and see you, you know, seeing as we are dating." He stated sharply, like he was mad at me.
"What's wrong? You sound mad. What happened?" I asked concerned. He was never like this with me.
"What's wrong is that as soon as James said the name Teddy your eyes went brighter then I've seen them for a long time. Since before we started dating. Do you like him?" he asked hurt. I cast a spell so that no one could here us outside of my room.
"It's not like that, Teddy is like a brother to me, I haven't seen my family since school started. I miss them. I was happy to see them. And Teddy's parents died so we don't get to see him much." I stated almost crying. I turned away from Scorpius.
"Rose, I'm sorry, but you never mention your family, how am I meant to know? All I can go off is seeing your eyes brighten up and seeing you kiss him on the cheek and laughing with him. What am I supposed to think?" he asked grumpily. I'd never seen him like this so I didn't know what to do or say.
"You're meant to trust and believe me. I believe you, even when everyone says that I shouldn't. You see me upset at school, yet you never ask why I'm sad. Why would I mention my family if you never mention yours, it works both ways Scorpius. I've kissed hundreds of guys at school on the cheek and you never cared, but just because I was actually happy to see Teddy you care. I don't think I can do this anymore." I said softly still not looking at him. I heard him walk closer to me. he put his hand on my arm, but I pulled away.
"Rose? Are you breaking up with me?" Scorpius asked sadly. I could hear the tears in his voice and it was breaking my heart.
"I guess I am, I just… I don't think I can do this anymore, I'm sorry" I said softly. I lifted the charm and walked out of my room. After I heard him aparate away I walked back in and fell onto my bed to cry.
Uncle George walked into my room at 9.30pm, like he normally did, to say goodnight, but when he saw me crying he stopped.
"Rosie, what's wrong?" he asked sitting down on my bed. I looked up at him a sniffed.
"I broke up with Scorpius." I replied shortly.
"Why? I thought you two were crazy in love with each other. What happened?" Uncle George asked seriously concerned.
"He didn't trust me. He thought I had a thing for Teddy." I replied lying my head in his lap.
"Why would he think something like that, it's basically like you going out with, well with James basically." Uncle George said disgusted.
"Gross. Uncle George, that's disgusting." I said while laughing. Uncle George smiled after he saw me laughing.
"I was just saying. Now why do you think he thought that?" he asked seriously.
"Coz when James told me Teddy was here my eyes supposedly brightened up and coz I kissed him on the cheek and coz I was laughing with him. But I still don't see why he would think that, I'm like that with everyone." I stated confused. I looked at Uncle George and saw that he was looking a little bit pissed.
"Why that little twerp, James knew what he was doing, he told you dad that you were dating Scorpius and he told James to try to get you to break up. James knew that Scorpius got jealous easily when it came to you. I'm going to kill on and then have a serious talk to James and Harry." Uncle George ranted. He got up and briskly walked out the door. I watched him as he left before changing into my pyjamas and going to bed.
The next morning I woke up and slowly walked downstairs in my pyjamas. I sat down at the table and waited for mum to come out of the kitchen. I heard footsteps coming out of the kitchen so I looked up expecting to see mum, but instead I saw dad. I looked back down at the table and started to trace the cravings with my finger. I heard dad sit down next to me, but I didn't look up.
"Rose, I'm sorry for asking James to break up you and Scorpius." He said sincerely. I looked up at him, but looked straight back down.
"Dad, it doesn't matter, we're over. That's all there is too it. You told me that he wasn't good for me. Maybe you were right. He didn't trust me, but I trusted him. Maybe he wasn't who I thought he was." I said softly. I kept my eyes down and continued to trace the carvings until dad lifted my head with his finger.
"I know you don't think that, talk to him, see what happens." He suggested. I was happy that he was trying to put his past behind him, but I didn't think anything would help right now.
"I talked to him dad, and I told him how I felt, then I broke up with him. I can't have a relationship if he doesn't trust me. Anyway, I don't think I'd like having Draco as my father-in-law." I joked. Just then James came down the stairs. I turned to look at him but turned away again. I heard dad get up and walk away kissing my head.
Christmas break flew by and soon we were on our way back to Hogwarts. The whole break I didn't talk to James but stayed in my room or visited Uncle George. I had Uncle George write me a note so that I could write to him whenever I wanted to. I didn't want to read what he had written so I just left it sitting in my bag ready to give to Professor Dumbledore and the teachers.
"Rose, you still mad at me?" I heard James ask. I didn't reply I just kept walking away from him.
"Rose. Rose! Rose! ROSE!" I heard someone yelling. I turned around and saw my best friend Roxanne. I turned around and ran to her and gave her a huge hug.
We found a compartment to sit in and were soon joined by our other friends Anastasia, Makayla and Tabitha. Whenever we were together it was very hard to tell us apart. We were the only four girls in out read to have red hair and brown eyes. We all grew our hair down to our waists and were pretty much the same size. If people didn't no any better they would have thought we were all related, or clones at least.
"Where's Scorpius?" Tabitha asked. I smiled at her slightly before sighing.
"I broke up with him." I stated softly. I still didn't like to talk about it. All three of them gasped and looked at me shocked.
"Why? What happened?" Makayla asked concerned. Everyone knew about Scorpius and I. Everyone thought we were going to stay together forever, just like a fairytale.
"Anna, Kayla, Tab, if you all be quiet I'll tell you what happened, okay?" I asked. They all sat quietly waiting for me to start. I told them all about what happened at the train station, in my bedroom and with Uncle George, even what my dad said.
When I finished they all gave me a hug. I looked at them slightly shocked that they had this reaction.
"Guys, its not that bad, everyone knew I shouldn't trust him, but I did, its my fault." I said trying to get them to see why it had to be like this.
"Rose, you guys were like a fairytale, you had the whole tragic beginning and everyone telling you it wouldn't work, then you also had no support from your family. You guys were like Cinderella and Prince Charming." Kayla stated. Kayla was the romantic out of all of us.
"Guess some fairytales just don't end up on Happily Ever After, do they?" I asked sadly.
