"Hey Lily" Rose waved nervously. "Roseee! You know what? Scorpius taught me another trick for the Quidditch!" Lily replied waving back. Rose and Hugo greeted their relatives and cousins. "Hugo, Where were you when we visited you all at Rose's birthday?" asked Harry. "I-erm-" Hugo hesitated. "Actually, he went to the Muggle London to visit grandmother" lied Rose.
"I thought you were upstairs resting. Did you go alone?" asked Hermione in a little bit worried tone. "Y-Yes" he replied biting his lip. "How did you go there?" asked Ron. "Father, It's time... Train will be leaving in two minutes" added Rose.
"Oh- Get up on the train you all" said Ginny. The four Hogwarts students quickly hurried on the train and sat in the nearest compartment. They watched as their family members waved. "I kinda miss James" said Lily breaking the silence. "What the- were you doing Rose?" asked Hugo angrily. "I just saved your skin" she told politely. "What are you two talking about? The London thingy?" asked Scorpius. Hugo nodded.
"Why did you say that? What if they ask grandmother?" he asked. "I couldn't think of anything else then, chill down. Do you want them to know that why were you doing that sport?" she asked. "No-" he replied and quit asking. "If you two are finished, we can play something" said Albus. "Yeah" replied Rose.
After their train ride full of chocolate frogs, every season beans and numerous games that they played along, they finally reached Hogwarts. Like usual, Hogwarts was started with the sorting of first years and then the feast.
"For first years and some certain students, I may announce that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. Quidditch trails will begin in the next week. Prefects may head students to the dormitories" announced Professor McGonagall. Rose and her fellow prefect Frank Longbottom (Mavis Longbottom's twin brother) started to head the students to the Gryffindor common room and dormitories.
"We need a keeper and a beater, this time. Choose wisely, Rose. We need to win the cup again" told Frank moving his head towards Rose. "Yeah" she replied.
Everyone moved to their rooms to sleep. While Rose and Frank walked over the Fat Lady and headed to the Head's office. "Erhh- I want to sleep soo badly" said Frank. "Yeah, me too. Why do they wanna plan night duties of the year at the first day?" asked Rose. Crack. There was a loud noise from behind them. Both of them tightened their wands and turned back. Their stood a figure, half in shadow, half visible. A lady with long, thick and shining black hair moved towards them. She was quite tall. She waved her wand and performed a spell. Frank and Rose looked at each other. Both of them knew the spell named 'Crucio' but it was one spell of the dark arts. They didn't know how to protect themselves.
There was a loud bang. A counter spell was performed. It was Professor McGonagall. The lady in the dark laughed loudly. "How can you be still alive?" asked McGonagall in a shocked tone. The lady laughed again and said,"Do you think that old woman killed me? Does she even knows magic more than me?".
"W-Who are you?" asked Frank who was a bit scared. "Oh- Longbottom, you don't even know who I am. Your father tried to kill me so badly. But, still I stand in front of you. I am the known follower of the Dark Lord, Bellatrix Lestrange" she replied. "Bellatrix? Didn't my grandmother kill her when she tried to hurt Aunt Ginny?" asked Rose. "That old woman. How can you think that she killed me?" asked Bellatrix.
"Rose, Frank get back. I will handle her" said McGonagall. "Oh- you can handle me? I can kill you three in a minute" she said with a wink. And, a series of spells followed. Some spells that Rose and Frank had never heard.
Footsteps. Many people were running towards them. Of course they would have heard the noises as they were too loud. There come the Head Boy, Head Girl and the Prefects. Everyone stunned at the site of McGonagall fighting someone. "Oh here comes Mr. Malfoy, y-you.... your grandfather and father betrayed us in the war. I didn't expect that my sister would do such a thing" said Bellatrix pointing towards Scorpius who was really confused.
"It's time for them to pay" she said and performed the curse named 'Imperio'. Scorpius didn't know what to do. No one seemed to know the counter spell. McGonagall perhaps knew it. But, some other death eater had just appeared and attacked her. The spell shot. Scorpius closed his eyes. But, felt as if nothing happened. Scared, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Rose standing in front of him. She had taken the spell.
"Very well, Weasley. I didn't expect that I would get such a great opportunity to do the same with you, as I did with your Mudblood mother" said Bellatrix, those were the last words Rose heard. She didn't know what was happening. But, she could just feel herself getting weaker and weaker.
At last she gained consciousness. She didn't open her eyes. Would she be in after life? Or something like that which she saw in some Muggle movies. She thought for a moment. But, then slowly opened her eyes. She was alive, in the hospital wing.
She moved her head and saw her fellow friends on the other beds staring at her. "Why did you take it?" asked Scorpius from the next bed. "Don't ask her about it. She probably isn't in the state to answer" Rose heard Frank saying those words.
"How are you, now?" asked the girl Ravenclaw prefect. "A bit better. But, what happened?" she asked. Everyone stared at each other for a moment. But, then Scorpius explained "After she performed the curse on you. I-I tried to stop her. But, she performed another curse on me too. After that I don't remember. But, Frank told me that seven-eight death eaters came and performed curses. And, soon McGonagall was unconscious and then, they all were too. But, he heard another spell and saw my dad, after that he was unconscious".
The door opened, it was Draco Malfoy who looked both angry and worried. He was followed by Hermione Granger Weasley, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter.
Message from Writer: Boom! Bellatrix is alive! Hope you enjoyed this part and also that the story is not canon so, don't think about that. Now, it's time for a bonus picture. Here is how I imagine Scorpius Malfoy in the story.
