Love, Sweat, and Tears
disclaimer: I own nothing!
It has came to my attention that i have not gotten to explain how Rose met Athena and, how she was accepted into her family.
I'm getting to it. It will be in the next few chapters. Remember that Rose has to explain her disappearance to her Mom and Dad. So PLEASE hang on until that happens. It will fill in the huge missing chunk in the story. I will most likely have her either show her memories in a Pensive or show you all her flashbacks as she tells the story.
Also, I decided to have Rose go to Beauxbatons, even though, yes she was heading to Hogwarts in the movie, is because well, to me Rose has always been a shy and reserved, insecure girl. She is the daughter or War Heroes Ron and Hermione Weasley. Rose is a Runner incase you haven't figured it out. Dominique is like an older sister to her. SO when Dom decides to not go to Hogwarts well Rose wanted to go with her. I feel like she saw how James Potter was treated as a celebrity, due to the fact that his dad is Harry Potter, and well being her, she felt like she couldn't handle being in the spotlight like that. And of course her being Rose Weasley, first born daughter of two-thirds of the Golden Trio, well you get the idea. I have for all intended purposes messed up the ages of Louis and Dominique, so that they may fit into my story. I'm sorry that has upset you dear reviewer, but its something that had to be done for my story to work. Believe me I kept going back and forth betWeen Hogwarts or Beauxbatons. I think that was it so here is chapter 5 I believe.
This chapter we hear from the Athena's grandfather and grandmother , as they deal with the crazy night that they all had. Basically it's the dealing with the aftermath of their crazy night. Next chapter is London! This is the longest chapter so far. Hehe. I hope you all like it. It took me a while to think of it. I only have a few chapters left and a lot of drama. So hang with me :).

Chapter 5
Holy hipogriffs. Everything hurts. What did I do last night? All I remember is being at
work and then… Nothing. I roll to my side and check the time. It's only 7:30 in the
morning. I take it the twins have awoken someone else in the house. Thank Merlin, I
would not be doing so well if they were both here. I lay back down and suddenly notice
that not only am I in last nights clothing, but there's also someone in my bed! I
cautiously lift my blankets down and spot a head full of silver blonde hair.
"Dom! Hey.. Dom get up. Go to your own room."
" Go away." Mumbles Dom.
As I'm about to roll her off my bed a silver eagle patronus comes swooping into my
room. I already know who is calling before It even opens its mouth.
" I want all of you children, In my study this instant!. If you are not down here in 5 minutes .I will personally make it so you don't see tomorrow! Now!"
Shit.. Shit.. Oh gods! We are dead! What happened last night!?
"Dom! Get up! We need to go see Jackson!.. He's really angry!... Dom!"
"Shut up! Rose go away!" Said Dom as she tries to snuggle deeper into the blankets.
"I'm sorry about this Dom. Aguamenti"
"Aaaarrrgggggg!... Rose! WHAT THE HELL?!" Spluttered an angry Dom.
"We have 4 minutes to get to Jackson's study before he comes and personally Avada's us. Come on!" I grab Dom and we race down to the first floor. Not a very easy thing
either seeing as our rooms are in the fourth floor. After almost tripping down the last
flight of stairs, we finally make it into Jackson's study. Thankfully we are not the late,
although I wish we were. I have never seen either Diodora or Jackson so angry
before.. It's staring to make me feel nervous.
I could really use a hangover potion right about now. My headache is killing me!.
Finally Athena Apparates into the study. She along with the rest of us looks horrible.
Apparently we are all in last nights clothes,smudged makeup on us girls ,and they boys
look like they are going to be sick.
"Why didn't we think about Apparating Rosie?" Asked Dom.
"Didn't think about it".. Yeah. I'm never drinking again. I tend to forget things apparently…
Jackson motions for us to take a seat. He pulls out few magazines and a newspaper.
I can already see where this is going.
"Athena Rosier-Rivers, Is Modeling Making Her Go Wild?".
"Privileged And Over Spoiled? The Truth About The Rosier-Rivers And Knox Heirs."
" Ministers Wild Daughter.. Does She Need Help.?"
"If Our Minister Does Not Control His Children, How Can He Control Our Government?"
And my personal favorite.
"Would You Trust Them As Your Healer?"
YOU HAVE ONCE AGAIN DISGRACED THIS FAMILY! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED AND ASHAMED OF ALL OF YOU!. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WERE ASKING ME FOR TO KEEP THIS ESCAPED OF YOURS QUIET?!"
"Jackson, darling calm down. It's not good for your heart." Said Diodora
"NO YOU DON'T!" He continues as If he didn't hear Diodora speak.
He makes the magazines and newspaper float to us.
Oh Merlin.
Right on the front page of the magazine I'm holding. Is a picture of Athena, Dom, and
I after we fell. Everyone can see our knickers! Dom and Athena's face are completely
white and I'm sure mine is too. I flip open the magazine and more pictures of us
dancing and drinking alcohol are spread around all three pages. I have never been so
embarrassed in my whole life. Picture after picture of all of us dancing and drinking. Us
dancing with random men as well. I don't even bother reading the article. I can already
imagine what it says.
Apparently Witches Magazine is not the worst of them all .
Just by looking at Luke and Bella's facial Expressions, I can tell that the New York
Wizarding News, is just as bad. Alexa and Rio are red faced staring at Healers of
Today. Poor Aria, she looks like she is about to cry, looking at Teen Witch Magazine.
Kree doesn't even bother to open up his magazine. He just stares right ahead at his
grandparents.
" All of those magazines have printed. I did not bribe the press this time. As of this morning this family is being laughed at and looked down upon due to your actions. Not just here either, apparently, someone put most of these pictures online. Rose and Dominique , you are both very dear to me , and I am very disappointed in both of you. Especially you Rose. You, Luke, and Arabella are the most mature. I understand that alcohol was involved but.."
" What your grandfather is trying to say, is that yes we are disappointed, but you are no longer children. We will no longer shelter you from the press. From now on, when you make a mistake, you will each deal with the consequences. That is all. Oh ,and Rose I regret to inform you, but with Amelie's fashion show and the fact that Dominique is modeling for her, Witch Weekly has gotten ahold of these pictures." Said Diodora.
"WHAT?!" I yelled. " how. How this.. How did this happen ?!". I'm shocked. I can't breath. Dom holds my hand as I start to feel a panic attack coming in.
"You can all leave now. Get dressed, we have a press conference in an hour. I want you all sobered up and looking your best." Said Jackson, as he passed around hangover potions to us all.
I'm doomed! All I can think about is how doomed I am. Witch Weekly, has gotten
pictures of our night. How will I explain this to everyone back home?
"I'm sorry Rosie." I hear Dom say." I'm going to floo back using the international floo
in the study and try and grab ahold of everyone's copy of witch weekly."
"Dom I appreciate it but, it's 1:00 in the afternoon, They have already printed. We are 5 hours behind London.." I sigh as we make our way back up stairs." I'm just going tohave to face this when I see mum and dad next week.. Come on let's get dressed. I'm hungry and I need to see the twins."
We made our way up to our rooms. I open my door and find Callum and Carina
snuggled under my covers, holding hands as they sleep. I can't help but stare at their
beautiful faces. They look so much like Scorpius, That it hurts. Same white blonde hair
delicate aristocratic face. Full lips. Rosy colored skin On Carina, Callum is as pale as
Scorpius. I take advantage and shower, and get dressed for the day as they sleep.
Once I'm done , I lay in bed next to them, and I can't help but cry. I feel so
overwhelmed by everything that is happening. It feels so unfair. But I know I'm the
only one to blame for my mistakes. I could of stayed and maybe worked things out
with Scorpius. We could have been married now. Happy and in love. My parents would
know their grandchildren. Celebrated birthdays together as a family. Tears keep rolling
down my cheeks as Carina starts to stir.
"Mama. Ok? " she asked sleepily.
"Yes. Princess mama is ok. I missed you yesterday Ri".
"Miss too mama." She gets up and cuddles into my arms. She gives me a wet kiss on my hand, and snuggles in closer to me.
I can't believe they will be 3 in a few months. They were the best birthday present I
could ever ask for. I mean sure I spent the last few hours of my birthday in the
hospital but it was all worth is.
Just as the clock struck midnight, Callum Lee Weasley and Carina Hope Weasley,
made their grand entrance. I was 21. I couldn't believe it.
Callum decides to awaken once he feels his sister is no longer by him. He sees us
cuddling and crawls sleepily towards us.
"Mama. Move Ri. Want mama"
"No! My mama. Away! " cries Carina
"Hey. There's enough of me to go around, come here Callum." I cuddle up both of my babies and after a few minutes decide to head downstairs for breakfast.
Down stairs everything is quiet. Only Alex is sitting at the table. Usually the breakfast
table is loud and you have to scream over everyone.
"Good morning Rose." Said Alexander as we walk in. The twins instantly jump of me and run to see Alex.
"Morning to you two little hellions also" he says placing a kiss on both their heads.
"I'm really sorry about last night. I. I don't know what came over me, I just been so-"
" Rose it's fine. Ok well maybe not fine, but I get it I was young once too. Along time ago, but I was. Father, he is just old fashioned. He will get over it. After the press conference and a few punishments for my kids and nieces and nephews and he will be ok. Don't worry."
"Thanks. I appreciate that" I grab a plate an pile on eggs and bacon. I cute up some pancakes for both Carina and Callum place eggs on their plates and watch them munch away happily. My hearts swells with pride, joy, and love.
Just as I'm about to ask if Dom and I are needed at the press conference, Dom comes
thru the door..
"Good morning uncle Alex."
"Morning Dom. How did you sleep? In guessing well." Asks Alex with a smile.
Dom turns red and bows her head."I'm sorry I caused your family problems. I'll be heading back home today. There are things I need to sort out before Rose gets there."
"Dom , you don't need to go anywhere. Your welcome to stay as long as you please."
"Thank you Alex. But I really have to go. Mum is probably blown up half the house by now." Says Dom. In a quiet voice. She actually sounds afraid. I don't blame her. All Weasley women have frightening tempers.
" Dom. Can you do me a favor?.. Can you please tell mom that I will be home next week… And that I will explain everything.. Just.. Don't tell tell about the twins just yet. I need to speak to them alone before I speak to anyone else."
"Yeah sure Rosie. I'm sure that there will be a meeting at the burrow. I probably have a howler waiting at home from mum. Merlin. I'm not looking forward to that." Dom shudders as she think about her howler that awaits her back home.
We finish breakfast and head towards the study.
"Bye Dom. I'll see you next week. Im sorry I'm sending you to face a pack of lions all by yourself. I'll make it up to you I promise."
"It's ok Rosie. What are best cousins and best friends for?. Just set me up on a date with Luke and we can call it even." She says with a wink.
" You don't need a set up to get Luke. He already likes you."
"Really? Well then, I'll just have to get him alone now won't I?"
"Go home Dom. Love you."
Dom throws the floo powder into the fireplace, turns around gives me one last wave
before she disappears into the green flames.
I head back to collect the twins, clean them up, head back upstairs to finish any last
minute packing.
As I set Callum and Carina down, they both turn look at me and utter the one word I
never thought I would hear.
"Mama, want daddy."
