Second Year: Part 3

-No.

-Julie you can't say no...

She gave Rose a defeing look and sayed.

-No, noooo, no, no, no, NOOOOO, NO!!!

-Okay, you can say no, but you shouldn't say it.

Lucy intervinned.

-One night, that's all we're asking. One good all night. Please.

-I can't girls.

-Come on Jules...

-No, sorry.

Julie exited Lucy's room in the Ravenclaw tower.

-For Merlin's sake, that girl is stubborn.

-She always sleeps in the room besides Fred, I mean, there's gotta be a reason right?

Roxy's eyes widened.

-You don't think that they.... you know...

-Roxy!!! -said Lucy- You've spent to much time with Molly.

•

-Hey Rosie!!! Where's Al?

-Hiding, he doesn't want to get dragged into one of James and Pan's fights.

-We should've taken a picture.

-I know.

They both smiled.

-Hey, um. I asked my dad about it and he said yes!!!

Rosie kept smiling. Confused by his words.

-Said yes to what, may I ask?

Scorpius frowned, also confused.

-Didn't Al tell you? I'm spending the New Year over at The Barrow.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Oh... that's... that's great!!!

Rosie didn't know why the news didn't make her happy, shouldn't she be glad her best friend would be with her on the Holidays? But, she just felt ansty and slightly nervous.

Rose told herself she just didn't want Scorpius to see what a mess her family could be from time to time.

-I... I'll see you at Transfigurations, I have to finish homework from Defense.

Rosie started to walk away, but Scorpius grabbed her arm.

-Rosie, are you okay? You seem a little off.

-Yeah, I'm okay, it's just... I'm worried about Julie, that's it.

-Okay.

Rosie watched as Scorp let her go and turned around.

•

-He said WHAT?!?!

-Lucy...

-No. Stop, this is not real.

-What's not real?

Both cousins jumped at the sound of Al's voice and turned around to see him in the doorway alongside Scorpius.

-Girls, we gotta go, the trains 'bout ta leave.

-Scorp, why on earth are you talking like that?

Rose looked at Al, one of her eyebrows raised.

-You didn't tell him to do that, did you?

He made an offensed expresion.

-Well, of course I didn... -he started laughing- Yeah I did. Josh told me to.
