The Attacks Come Out

It's decided, the attacks will be sent to five different newspapers anonymously, tonight. They'll be all over by tomorrow.

Rose held her boyfriend's hand under the table. She ran circles around his skin slowly as a way to calm him down. It was breakfast and everyone was waiting for the mail to arrive, but it wasn't like all the other times they got mail, this time everyone would know the truth.

This week had been really hard for Scorpius. When the news of the court session came out, everyone started treating him differently, with caution and hesitation, because, like always, people are naive and always believe in what the ministry was telling them. But that would change today.

Rose, Caleb and Eleanor exchanged worried looks from time to time. They all knew what was coming but at the same time, it was weird seeing Scorpius look so anxious and down.

"What's wrong with you today?" Albus kicked Scorpius under the table while putting a piece of bread in his mouth. Scorpius woke up to his senses.

"I'm fine." He said quickly.

"You look like you're about to cry or something."

"I'll most likely puke first if I have to look at your ugly shank face for one more second."

"Some people like it." Albus shrugged.

"Well those some people have very low standards then." Scorpius said but regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth. Aurora blinked rapidly, trying to keep away the tears and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Albus grabbed her hand. She flinched away.

"Infirmary." With that she was off. Scorpius sighed deeply. This was his fault.

"That was weird..." Albus said. "Everyone is acting so weird today, I ate the same thing as you last night, I don't get it... Anyways, how are things with your dad Rose?"

"I haven't spoken to him." She shrugged. "He's probably going to send me a letter today, I won't even bother opening it... what about you?"

"If you think I'm going to speak to him after what he did, you better think again... it's going to be a long while until I do, same for Lily, she was furious..." Albus kept talking but Scorpius zoned out once again.

He looked across the room to spot Eleanor sitting alone, eating her cereal with a book in her hand. Scorpius couldn't help but doubt the plan every time he looked at Eleanor. Scorpius learnt that she was very reserved so it was hard to know what her feeling truly were about the plan. He didn't want her getting hurt, since she had become almost like a little sister to him. What if something happens and she gets hurt? Scorpius's couldn't live with that. He would forever believe that it was his fault. His thoughts were interrupted by the mail.

As the envelopes and newspapers fell from the sky Scorpius felt his stomach fall along with an urge to vomit. To distract himself from it, he poured himself a cup of coffee and sipped slowly for everyone to start reading the papers.

Rose picked up the Daily Prophet from Albus's pile of mail so the he would read the other newspaper. He did.

"Guys..." He said slowly. Rose and Scorpius glanced at each other. "Look at this."

He handed them the paper and the headline was:

Ministry covers up attacks as terrorism?

"It says the attacks were done by Lucius." He continued.

Soon enough everyone was gathered in little groups reading the news papers. The hall was buzzing with hushed worried conversations.

"Let me see." Scorpius held out his hand and Albus passed him the paper. Rose and Scorpius mocked surprise as they read the article.

Albus rubbed his chin.

"I overheard something during Christmas..." Albus whispered hesitantly. "Sirius, Lupin and a bunch of other people were talking about these attacks. These one's exactly. At first I thought I didn't hear correctly but now it all makes sense."

Scorpius and Rose tensed, but to save them Uriah and Marlene sat down by the friends.

"Have you heard about the attacks?" Marlene asked as she passed Scorpius the newspaper.

"I have." He said. "I always thought it had been him, terrorist attacks this frequently are no very likely." He lied. Lying to his friends was like running a blade over a wound, it was more than painful.

"How do you feel?" Uriah asked.

"How am I supposed to feel?" Scorpius asked a little more harsh than he intended, though. Zabini stared at him weirdly, but Marlene saved him.

"I'm so shocked." She shook her head. "It's so cruel."

"He's a murdering bastard." Rose hissed as she stood up. "What would you expect?" She paused as her friends stared at her in surprise. "Scorpius come with me upstairs before Defence against the dark arts?"

"Of course." He stood up slowly and grabbed her hand. "See you later guys." There as a chorus of hesitante 'bye's and 'see you's and he couldn't help but notice the weird looks all of them were giving them.

The couple walked hand in hand down the halls in peaceful silence until Scorpius stopped and grabbed Rose's waist. He gently placed a hand on her cheek and leaned in but just before their lips met he whispered: "You're the only reason I'm still coping with all of this."

Rose felt butterflies in her stomach as their lips connected. Scorpius was the sweetest boyfriend ever, he didn't rush things and always respected her space and privacy. Since they started dating, they had had a few heated make-out sessions where both of them had lost some layers of clothing but it stopped there. Rose had never done it before and Scorpius knew that so he took even more care in respecting her space. And even if he really wanted to do it with her, having her as a girlfriend was more important than sex.

When their lips parted, Rose hugged him.

"You still wear the necklace," Scorpius touched the necklace he had given her on Christmas, as they let go of each other.

"I never take it off." Rose noted.

"That's sweet, it looks good on you."

"You think?" She asked playing with it in her fingers.

"Everything you wear looks stunning on you." Rose blushed a deep shade of red. Scorpius laughed out loud. He was always good at making her blush.

"Stop." Rose said looking at the ground and shaking her head.

"What? It's true." Scorpius waved his hands up in the air. Rose couldn't help but beam at her goofy boyfriend.

They both were so distracted they didn't even remember what Albus had told them.

**

We have 10 new members just today, your plan is working Scorpius, at this rate we'll have the sufficient number of members to place officers to search for unusual activity in area's we are suspicious of. And who knows, maybe we'll have enough members to overthrow the ministry, I can sent an aroma of chaos in there.
