CHAPTER 10: The Visit to School
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER
Rose went with her parents, Lily, and Scorpius back to Hogwarts to follow up on the new arrangements for her education. "Headmistress, would it be okay for me to go and walk around for a while? Just to say goodbye to my friends and tell them I will be back soon?"Rose asked the headmistress. Minerva McGonnagall nodded. "Of course you can Ms. Weasley. I will send one of the elves for you when your parents are ready." The headmistress said.
Hermione looked at Rose, "If you need anything find a prefect, they know your home but they don't know why, if anything happens, tell them you need to go to the hospital wing and the mediwitch will contact your father and I." Hermione said hugging her. "Yes mum." Rose said into her mother's shoulder. Rose took Scorpius' hand and they made their way to the Houses. After the War, the students were able to enter other houses other than their own. Scorpius led Rose up to the Gryffindor House, when the door opened Rose, Lily and Scorpius walked into the common room to a dead silence.
Everyone was eyeing Rose's stomach. Rose looked at Scorpius and Lily before retreating to the seventh year dorms. However, Scorpius could not help but notice tears in her eyes. He looked at Lily and she ran after her. Scorpius shook his head. "Really? You all can't keep anything to yourselves. Right away you have to all look at her in that way?" Scorpius shouted. Hugo and the rest of the Weasleys walked in. "They've been talking about it for the past few weeks. How the hell do you think they found out?" Hugo said. "No how?" Scorpius said concerned. He knew he hadn't told anyone. "Lily, the day you went to the appointment. People were asking for you and she told them the truth. She was upset you left her for the day." Molly II said. Lucy nodded, "I was there, and she asked me to tell people too. But I don't understand. Now they are like best friends. "No they aren't." Kylie, Rose's best friend said walking out of the seventh year girl's dorm. "Rose just found out that Lily told. And that the whole school knows." She added.
Rose rushed out of the dorms with her bag that she had brought to gather the rest of her things. "Rose wait!" Lily said rushing towards her. "Lily, stop it okay?" Rose said sitting down putting a hand on her stomach. "It's hard enough as it is right now. I don't need excuses." Rose said. Molly and Lucy sat next to their little cousin by six months. "Rosie, mum and dad owled us the day everyone took you to the hospital. You need to take it easy." Molly said. Rose nodded. "I know it's just everyone is being so critical now. I am doing the best I can." Rose said. Scorpius knelt in front of her. "We all know you are. Don't we?" Scorpius said looking around the room. "And everyone is here for you love." Scorpius said kissing her forehead. "Rose, I'm sorry I told everyone. They were bound to find out anyway though. I'm so sorry." Rose didn't look at her but just got up and hugged her cousins and baby brother before hugging Kylie and taking Scorpius's free hand while his other held her two bags and they walked out together. Before the door closed, Rose looked at Lily one last time.
