How about I actually get reviews on this one? Haha, I'd like to know if this is any good! :)

Chapter 3

The four split up and began looking around the carnival and the streets around it. They wanted to start small. Albus and Scorpius looked on the streets, James checked out the carnival, and Lily tracked down any pubs nearby. They agreed to meet at the car in an hour.

Albus suddenly stopped, "How could I forget!" He cursed and took out his wand.

"What?" Scorpius asked, looking at Albus as he took out his wand. Scorpius forgot Albus was of age- he can use his wand. "You can find her?" he asked.

Albus nodded, "I'll use a tracking spell."

Scorpius frowned, "That can only be used when two wands are bound."

Albus smiled to himself, "When Rose and I were younger we would run around in the cornfield, by my grandmother's house. She got lost a few times so we had someone cast a binding spell. Whenever either of us would get lost, we'd cast the tracking spell and find each other. I haven't used this spell in years."

Scorpius almost smiled, "Brilliant." He was reminded that unlike Albus and the Potters and the Weasleys, he had no childhood friend. He had Zabini and Goyle, but they weren't close enough to cast a binding spell.

"Reperio Rose," Albus said quietly. His wand rose and started guiding the two boys to wherever Rose was.

They walked quietly for a while, until Scorpius spoke up. "Al, you two were close? You and Rose?" He asked, slipping his hands into his pocket.

Albus smiled, "Not were, are. We have been, practically since we were born. She's like a sister to me. One I can actually stand. Our parents are best friends, not to mention my mum and her dad related. I'm actually surprised she didn't tell me about Zabini… I thought we were closer than that" he shrugged, and followed the wand as it turned direction, "It seems she's moving somewhere."

Scorpius nodded, and thought for a while. Albus kept scratching his wand hand, an effect of the tracking spell. The itching increased as they got closer to her. Suddenly, it stopped, and the wand turned the complete opposite way.

Albus groaned, "She must've apparated again. I swear when I find her… Bloody hell. My feet hurt. Why did aunt Hermione teach her how to apparate?"

Scorpius laughed, shaking his head at his complaining. "Hey, Al, I'm sorry for causing this mess," he confessed. He felt awkward; he was never one to apologize.

Albus shrugged, scratching his hand, "It was me, James, and Lily, really. We shouldn't have made you two sit together…"

"I shouldn't have said those things. I really had no idea her and Zabini-"

"Don't say it, I don't want to hear about her shagging anyone," Albus said, chuckling. Scorpius smiled and nodded.

The wand led them back to the carnival. They found Rose playing a muggle game, a dart game. In one hand was a bottle of a muggle beer and in the other was a dart. Every dart she threw landed right in the middle.

"Tell me again why you aren't on the Quidditch team?" Albus asked, smiling.

Rose jumped and turned around. She looked like she just calmed down from crying. She laughed lightly, "Because if I did, that would talk out of my studying time. Actually, I think I'll join next year."

She took a drink out of the beer, which Albus snatched out of her hand, "Rose, no more drinking," he said, the playfulness out of his voice. "Come on, we've got to get home. My dad's probably wondering where we are."

Rose narrowed her eyes as him, but then her eyes grew soft and she looked away. She seemed to notice Scorpius for the first time, who stared at her warily.

"Weasley- Rose," he started.

"Don't say a word," Rose said, shaking her head. Then, she laughed, but it was bitter, "You were right, anyway. Who would actually like me? I figured Zabini was just using me. Who in their right mind would ever-"

"Rose, don't say that," Albus interrupted, frowning.

She shrugged, "I'm only saying the truth. Like Malfoy here did. I suppose I was being stupid for actually thinking Zabini was being sincere."

Albus sighed, "How about we get back to the car? And where's your wand? My hand's itching like crazy."

Rose took out her wand and Albus touched it with his. The itching subsided, "The tracking spell? That's how you found me?" Rose asked, surprised.

Albus nodded, "Who would've thought it would come in handy?"

Rose laughed, "It was handy, about six years ago. Let's go back to the car then, come on, I'll apparate."

"Do you think you should be? You're not even of age yet, and you've been drinking," Albus replied, frowning.

"Oh, please. There's a reason mum taught me before I was of age," She responded. She held out her hand to Albus, who sighed and took it. She gave Scorpius a glare, "I guess you'll have to come along, too."

He paused before taking her hand. The trio apparated to the car, where James and Lily had been waiting. They were supposed to meet there ten minutes before.

"There you are!" Lily exclaimed and hugged Rose, and then pushed her lightly, "Don't ever do that again!"

"I won't," Rose insisted. She tossed the keys to James, "You drive, I don't feel like it."

The ride back was silent. Rose was tired. All she wanted to do was get into bed and forget all about the carnival, Scorpius, and Zabini. One they got back to the Potter's, they were instantly greeted by Harry Potter himself.

"Oh, I was wondering where you were," he said, standing up from the couch. He shook hands with Scorpius, "Hello Scorpius. How are you doing?"

"Very well, sir," he responded, nodding.

"And your parents?" Harry asked.

"They're doing fine. They're expecting another child, actually. A girl," Scorpius replied, smiling slightly.

Harry's eyes widened, "Really? Well good for them," he smiled. He glanced at Rose and smiled, "I hope my sons haven't annoyed you too much here."

Rose chuckled, "It's not your sons I'm worried about," she responded, her eyes flickering over to Scorpius.

Harry gave her a curious look, when Lily cleared her throat, "Well, dad, we better get going, we've been out all day!" she exclaimed and dragged Rose upstairs.

Harry looked at the boys, who smiled sheepishly. They stared at each other for a bit, until James spoke up. "Well, am I the only one starving?"

"Rose? How are you feeling?" Lily asked after ten minutes of silence. The two girls were settled on the pale pink, plush carpet.

Rose laid down, enjoying the soft plush, "Just peachy."

"How are you really feeling?" Lily sighed.

Rose leaned up, furrowing her eyebrows. "I need to write a very strong worded letter to Brendon."

Lily frowned, "I don't think you should, you've been drinking and…"

Rose was already standing up. She stripped and changed into a white t-shirt and pajama shorts. "Have you got any paper?" she asked, "And a quill?"

Lily shook her head, "No, but Al might."

Rose stumbled out of Lily's room, only to bump right into Scorpius, who caught her before she fell. Rose froze and looked up at the blonde boy as he held her arms. Then, she snapped out of it and pulled away.

"Rose, I'm sorry for the things I said to you. I feel terrible, none of it was true, I was just angry," he muttered, not looking at her.

Rose said nothing. She walked past him and went into Albus's room, where he and James were eating sandwiches.

"Al? Have you got any papers? And a quill?" She asked.

Albus nodded, grabbed what she wanted, and handed it to her, "Why?" he asked.

"I'm going to send Zabini an owl," she said, heading out the room.

Scorpius raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure that's a good idea? I-"

"If I wanted your opinion, I would've asked for it. Clearly I didn't, so," she gave him a knowing look and went to step away, when Scorpius took her arm. "Let go, Malfoy."

"Not until you forgive me," he replied, holding on tightly.

She glared at him, "Forgiving won't change anything."

"It'll make me feel a whole lot better!"

She rolled her eyes and squirmed out of his grasp, "Oh, so this is about you now?"

Scorpius groaned in frustration, "Can we please not have another argument, while I'm trying to apologize?"

"Why not? It's not like you can say anything else to bring me down more. Seems like you've already used all your material. And, what part of wanting my forgiveness so you can feel better is a proper apology?" she asked, giving him an obvious look.

"If you just listened to me for a second-" he started.

"Why would I ever listen to you? I've heard enough, actually!"

"Would you give me a chance to explain-"

"Explain what? Your views on how pathetic I am? Oh, how about I explain to you how much of a prick you are?"

"Weasley!"

"Malfoy!"

"Would you kids keep it down?! There's one of me and five of you, I don't think I could handle much more yelling!" Harry yelled from downstairs.

The two quieted down instantly. Rose glared at Scorpius as he ran his fingers through his hair angrily. He turned to go back to Albus's room, and then turned back at Rose, who was still glaring.

"You're stubborn, you know that?" he whispered angrily.

"You're a prat, you know that?" she retorted haughtily.

"Would you two kiss already?" James asked, annoyed.

"Shut up!" Scorpius and Rose both yelled.

They looked back at each other, glared, and then promptly went to their respective rooms. The Potters looked at each other, wondering if this much happened in one day, how will the next two weeks be?
