Because Veronique Ruthven asked for Scorpius trying to figure out Albus' reaction to ScoRose. I'm not sure this is exactly what she was expecting, but... ;)

Scorpius and Albus sat by the lake. The giant squid appeared to be dancing.

"So… do you know if Rose is going to the Christmas Ball with anyone?" Scorpius asked casually.

"Nah, I think Fred scared off all the admirers."

"Oh. Do you not want her to go with anyone?"

Albus frowned. "She's my cousin."

"You're going with Bea," Scorpius pointed out.

"That's different."

Scorpius sighed. "What if… what if I took Rose to the Ball?"

Albus looked up. "Have you asked her?"

"Not yet…"

Albus' face lit up. "Do it by tomorrow. If you do, I get three Galleons!"

I know updates have been somewhat scarce the past week, but hopefully they should pick up this week.

Look at it. Do you see it? Right down there? It's BLUE. I don't know why it's blue, but I think you should click it. It's really shiny and bright and BLUE. I think the blueness of it just calls for a review, don't you? ;)

Thanks for reading!
