Chapter 16 Run

Last time…

"May I have this dance" Scorpius asked Rose as he lifted the spell and the music began before long he had swept Rose into a slow dance across the dance floor she knew this wouldn't last forever she knew the song would end but for now the only two people in the world were her and Scorpius.

"I love you" Scorpius whispered in Rose's ear as the song ended and Katherine let the barrier down prompting Ron and Harry to jump forward and wrench the two apart. Rose was being held by her mother, as her uncle Harry was holding Scorpius, and Katherine was being held by her Uncle George.

"I love you" Rose whispered as she watched Scorpius being dragged out of the great hall.

"Hey, hey hands of the dress it took me ages to sneak it out of my dorm with Parkinson flitting about in her marshmallow outfit" Katherine said trying to get George to let her go.

"Oh Rose I'll see you later ok" Katherine said as she was led past Rose and in the same direction as Scorpius.

"I…I'm going to go to the bathroom" Rose said after a few minutes and detached herself from her mother and hurried out of the room. On reaching the bathroom Rose darted into the first cubicle and locked the door leaning back against it as she did.

"Rose, Rose" Her mother had followed her but all Rose could think was how she just wanted to be left alone for now no concerned family, just her thoughts on what had happened and what she could do.

After a while Hermione gave up and went to search another of the bathrooms. Making sure she was gone Rose stepped out of her cubicle and went to the sinks. As she finished wiping away the last bits of makeup another girl came into the toilet.

"Oh wow Rose Weasley you do know your families looking for you" Heidi Parkinson said Rose glanced at the girl briefly then sighed.

"Yes I know but…but I just…" Rose began but collapsed into sobs Heidi was surprised for a minute but then stepped forward and patted her awkwardly on the back.

"You really do love him then?" she asked Rose just nodded the sound of Rose's sobs reverberated around the bathroom for a minute then Heidi quickly turned Rose around to look at her.

"You love him so you have to tell them how much and what your willing to do to get him back ok" Rose nodded shocked at first by Heidi words but the more she said the more an idea came into Rose's head.

"Rose what are you doing down here" Ron asked as his daughter stride towards him Harry and himself had just put Flint and Malfoy in the same abandoned classroom they had, had Katherine in before.

"Let them go" Rose said bluntly staring Ron in the face Harry stood to the side watching the pair.

"What Rose he tried to take you again" Ron said confused.

"No he didn't he gave himself up!" Rose was starting to yell now.

"Even so he has crimes of assault and kidnap against him Rose he doesn't love you not really" Ron said but that was the last straw for Rose.

"YES HE DOES HE LOVES ME AND I LOVE HIM HE PANICKED THAT DAY WITH ALBUS NOW LET SCORPIUS AND KATHERINE GO OR…OR I'LL DISAPPEAR AGAIN!" Rose finished yelling and turned and before either Ron or Harry could stop her ran. She kept running until she got to the room of requirement bursting in she tore of her dress and grabbed a plain black skirt and green top throwing these on she looked around for something warm to wear the only thing available was her mothers brown coat which was a little big for her but she put it on anyway.

Hurrying down the corridors it wasn't long before she reached the side door she had used when she first came to Hogwarts to save Katherine. Looking back briefly Rose took a deep breath before opening the door and going into the darkness of the night.
