HUGO is in the Gryffindor common room with LILY, making friendship bracelets.
Hugo: Lily?
Lily: Yes Hu hu?
Hugo: Have you noticed how Rose is acting strange?
Lily: Yeah, she's barely sleeping, she's lost weight, and she's paranoid. Not the Rose that I know.
Hugo: Yeah. Maybe school is wearing her down.
Lily: That might be true, but Alice...
Hugo: .... What did Alice say?
Lily: That she went missing for a while about a month ago. She didn't talk or eat for a week.
Hugo: Maybe Grandma will convince her to eat.
Lily: Um.... convince? More like force. She always says that I'm too thin, Rose is so thin you can see her ribs through her skin.
Hugo: Rose doesn't eat much when she's stressed. Mum and Dad have always been able to calm her down, though. I'm sure they'll be able to this time.
Lily: I hope.
ROSE walks in, ready to go home.
Rose: Ready to go to the Hogwarts Express, Hu?
Hugo: Yeah. Do you wanna eat breakfast?
ROSE looks reluctant, but nods.
Rose, this is worrying me.
Rose: What's worrying you?
Hugo: This! You haven't eaten in forever, you look like the walking dead because of your lack of sleep, and you're always scared! What's going on!? I wanna talk!
Rose: Hugo, it's just stress. That's all it is.
ROSE feels uncomfortable lying to her brother, but she feels like it's her only chance.
Hugo: Okay. But remember, I'm always right here. And, relax! It's almost Christmas!
Rose: Yeah... it's almost Christmas... I'm gonna get our stuff, okay?
Hugo: Okay! Love you Rose!
Rose: (Guilty sounding) I.... love you too.
ROSE walks out of the room and Hugo looks at Lily.
Hugo: See, after Christmas, she'll be fine!
Lily: I'm not so sure. For some reason, those kids that were born in 2006/07, they're trouble magnets. She's probably hiding something.
Hugo: What would she hide?
Lily: I dunno. But I'm getting nervous watching her.
HUGO and LILY look at each other again, and the curtain closes in their silence.
