A/N : Hello guys! I'm feeling extremely generous this weekend and I decided to write another chapter and partly because I want to redeem myself for all the time I've been away, I hope you liked the last chapter, I see we got a good bit of traffic on it but only one review! come on guys I really want to hear what you think, it's so hot here at the moment! First 100 degrees of the year! So I'm writing this while I'm out sunning myself (: Enjoy!
Rose didn't know what to say, there was no way she was a Veela, there must be some mistake she was just plain old Rose Weasley always had been and always would be.
"Vic there must be some mistake" Rose sighed "I couldn't possibly be even part Veela"
"Rose you have to stop doubting yourself, you are beautiful on the inside and outside you just can't see it for some reason, trust me that necklace doesn't make mistakes, if you weren't a Veela it would have burned your neck hard until you were forced to take it off"
"Oh thanks for that Vic, it could have really hurt" Rose said sarcastically.
"Ah but Rose love I knew it would be okay, I discussed it at length with your mum and mine and they agreed that we should definitely try it. Your mum has always had the suspicions that she may have come from Veela heritage and it would explain her beautiful skin and poise that she passed on to you"
"Really? My mum never told me that, I suppose it does explain it somewhat, I still can't believe it though, It's a lot to take it" Rose said
"She was never sure so she didn't want to say anything, you know your mum she needs cold hard facts in front of her before she will believe anything" Vic laughed, "Now the necklace does have some magical qualities of course, It gives you the power to morph, pretty much like Teddys power, it is supposed to teach you to eventually be comfortable in your own skin and make you not want to morph anymore but it is still a while before you have to start worrying about all that serious stuff so have some fun with it while you are young, just remember that it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside as long as what's on the inside stays the same, never forget who you are" Victoire emphasized the last few words.
Rose was awestruck to say the least, this necklace would let her change her appearance? She decided to test it out and concentrated really hard on straight hair for a few seconds. She opened her eyes to see Vic smiling at her, she reached to feel her hair and found that it fell past her shoulders as always but it was poker straight, "Amazing" breathed Rose,
"Have fun love, I can't think of anyone who deserves it more, you are thirteen now it's time for you to start loosening up a little. The only piece of advice I will give you is be careful who you tell that you are a Veela, people can become jealous very easily and start spreading rumors about you" Victoire said sincerely, "I must go now, my beautiful husband is waiting to whisk me off to France for my honeymoon, please make sure you keep in contact with me this year!" Vic added as she stood up and gave Rose a hug.
"Thank you so much Vic I don't know what to say, you are the best cousin anyone could ever wish for! Have fun in france ma cherie! I promise I will keep in contact!" with that Vic walked back towards shell cottage to meet Teddy, leaving Rose to her thoughts.
Rose couldn't believe it, she had to pinch herself just to make sure it wasn't all just a dream. She was a Veela! She resolved to go back to Shell Cottage and floo home to talk to her mother.

Hermione Weasley stood in the kitchen of her home looking out the window absent mindedly cleaning dishes. Victoire had just flooed in to tell her that she had given Rose the necklace and she was indeed a Veela, Haaa! thought Hermione, All those years of being called a mudblood and being looked down upon for being muggleborn and she had magical blood after all! the irony of it all! At that moment Rose appeared in the fireplace,
"Mum!"
"Rosie!"
"We're Veelas!" breathed Rose
"I know love! I'm sorry i never shared my thoughts with you but I was never sure" Hermione told her daughter
"Ah mum I totally understand! It's a lot to take in though!" Rose walked over to her mother
"I see Victoire gave you the necklace" Hermione said with a smile, she already knew of the magical properties of the necklace and how it would play a big role in giving Rosie confidence in her own appearance over the years
"Yes mum it's amazing look!" Rose demonstrated by changing her hair color from bright red to a brown very similar to her mothers, at that moment her father walked in,
"Mione do you know where my…who's this then?" Ron asked surprised to see the young girl who bared striking resemblance to his wife,
"It's me daddy" Rose answered with a smile
"Rosie? What have you done to your hair?" Ron asked shocked
"Ronald sit down and we will explain" Hermione laughed, "Myself, Victoire and Fluer have been talking for a while and today Victoire gave Rosie a necklace that finally proved that we are indeed Veelas" at this Rosie pulled the necklace with the pendant of a bird from under her t-shirt to show her father.
"WHAT? REALLY? WHAT?" Ron was in such shock he could barely from a coherent sentence. It took at least an hour to calm Ron down and explain Hermiones theory to him, when all was said and done Ron seemed rather pleased with himself to be able to say he had a wife and daughter with Veela blood. When all was explained Rose left her parents in the kitchen and went to write to Scorpius. She knew that she could trust him and could't wait to tell him her news.
Dear Scorp,
I have news for you! You must promise not to tell anyone though! Victoire says it's best I only tell people I trust because people can get jealous but of course I trust you. Victoire gave me a necklace today as a birthday present and when I put it on she told me that I would only have been able to wear it if I was a Veela! I'm a Veela Scorp! And the necklace is enchanted so I can morph to look anyway I want, it's extreeeemely cool! I can't wait to show you! That's all really, what do you think of all this?
Write back soon!

Scorpius sat in his room. It had been less than 24 hours since he'd seen Rose but he missed her already, now that they were friends again he never wanted to lose her again. He had invited Marco over for the day as they hadn't seen each other since school let out. Although things were a bit tense between them after the incident under the miseltoe, they made up soon after and were best friends once again. Scorpius heard a knock on the door that signaled that Marco had arrived. He ran towards the hall door to open it for his friend.
"Scorp!" smiled Marco
"Marc! How's things?"
"Good thanks, and with you?" Marco said as they walked toward Scorpius' room
"Super" beamed Scorp
"And would that have anything to do with a certain Weasley girl?" asked Marco waggling his eyebrows
"Maybe" smiled Scorp, "But not in that way" he laughed, "I'm just happy we're friends again"
"Suuuure mate" Marco said rolling his eyes
"Oh you've been saying this for two years when are you going to give it a rest?" sighed Scorpius
"When you realize you're in denial mate" answered Marco
"I am not in denial!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Okay so if i were to say I liked Rose you'd be totally fine with that?" Marco said with a smirk
Scorpius tensed "Yeah mate I'd say go for it" He tried to sound nonchalant but it was clear that it was getting to him
Marco ignored Scorpius' discomfort and continued "Okay then if you're sure I think I'll definitely go for it next year, she's a really good looking girl and she has a nice personality too"
Scorpius just nodded at this and tried not to let Marco see that it was getting to him, because it wasn't right? Oh maybe he was in denial! After a while talking about Rose, Scorpius decided to try and change the subject and asked Marco did he want to fly around the grounds for a while. It was a beautiful summers evening and they enjoyed flying around until the sun set then they said their goodbyes and walked back to the manor where Marco flooed home. After Marco left Scorpius sat contemplating the days conversations, he didn't have feelings for Rose did he? He did think she had a beautiful personality and he had to admit she did look stunning yesterday at the wedding, before Scorp could be left to his thoughts any longer there was a knock on the window, Scorpius recognized it as Rose's owl and hurried to get the letter of it's leg before giving the owl a bowl of water and some treats. He read the contents of the letter and was shocked, he didn't know what to say, Rose was a Veela? It would explain him always being drawn to her. Ah it all made sense now! He didn't fancy Rose it was just her gift! He wrote her a reply,
Dear Rose,
Wow that's a lot to take in! I'm honored that you would trust me enough to tell me and your secret is safe with me! I can't wait to see your necklace it sounds very interesting! I think it's a lot but I know that you are a logical and rational girl so I'm sure you will be able to handle it! Marco was here for the day, he has quite a fancy for you Ms. Weasley (; I'm am very tired as we were on our brooms all day so I must go to sleep now, Talk you to tomorrow. Thanks again for trusting me!
Lot's Of Love
Scorp xoxoxo
As Scorpius lay in bed that night he was contented in thinking that it was not of his own free will that drew him to Rose Weasley.
