Scars

Chapter 13

Rosé's POV:

We stood in the ring glaring at our opponents while waiting for Professor Lupin to give us the go-ahead.

Song Yuqi was known for being incredibly smart and talented. Everyone knew her as an ace, one of the best students at Hogwarts. But she had a weakness: Defense Against The Dark Arts.
Wong Lucas, a Slytherin, arrogant, manipulative, rude and a narcissist. I once accidentally bumped into him a few years ago. He shouted at me rudely, saying that I ruined his day or something. He is not worth talking to. A lot of girls love him because of his looks. I don't understand why, there are guys who are better looking and so much friendlier than him. Not many though.

I took a step back to get into my fighting position. My heart was racing, my fingers were wrapped around my wand tightly.

" 3, 2, 1, fight!"

A green ray of light whizzed past my left ear. I turned around to see the wooden door behind me crushed into pieces. I glared at Lucas. He gave me a wink. Ugh, he has to try harder than that to defeat me,

"Everte Statum!"

He was thrown backwards, almost out of the battleground. I saw him glaring at me angrily and I winked back at him.

"Useless jerk." I heard Yuqi say. She wielded her wand, trying to target Jungkook, but he defended himself with a protection spell. Then he attacked Yuqi, catching her off guard,

"Petrificus Totalus! Expelliarmus!"

She dodged the Body-Bind Curse, but failed to block the Disarming Charm, causing the wand to fly out of her hand out of the ring.

Meanwhile, Lucas had gotten back on his feet, his eyes fuming with anger. Maybe I shouldn't have provoked him.

"You're weak, pretending to be strong. Just like your parents." He rolled his eyes and smirked.

Parents. The word echoed loudly in my mind. I froze at his words. How did he know about my parents?

"Cut the crap, Lucas." Jungkook growled.

I didn't say anything. I wanted to let him talk, but at the same time I didn't, I was scared. What if he knew something about Dad?

"Reducto!"

Suddenly I felt a hand at my waist pulling me away harshly. A second later, a statue made of glass collapsed right next to me. Fragments of glass flew across the room. I felt something wet running down my temple and I wiped it off. Blood. Focus. Don't listen to that bastard.

"My dad was there when the Dark Lord killed your father. He was a tough one, but stupid enough to think he could defeat the most powerful and dangerous wizard of all time. Ridiculous. Who did he think he was? Even the so-called legend himself Harry Potter died once trying to avenge his parents and friends. Your dad, he wasn't even close to killing the Dark Lord. Voldemort had the upper hand during the whole duel. My dad said that he was just toying with your dad, torturing him until he died. You think your family is that special? No, you're just a bunch of losers. Especially your dad. Mudblood." He said flippantly.

The way he talked about my dad made me want to rip his head off. Who did he think he was? His dad stood by and watched while my dad fought for us, our family. How dare he talk about him like that? I was raging inside, but tried to remain a calm face,

"Flipendo Maxima!"

He blocked my spell with ease. Then his wand emitted a green light that hit me, causing me to be suspended by my ankles in the air.

"Surrender, Park Chaeyoung. You're no better than your dad. Weak, stupid and poor." He snorted.

"Never! My dad protected our family!" I yelled and murmured the counter-jinx while Jungkook covered me.

"No, Rosé. Your dad was defending his pride and ego. He didn't care about your mother, your sister or you. He only cared for himself. You really think he loved you? If he really did, he would have surrendered and died for you. Your dad never loved you." He said.

Your dad never loved you. I felt tears threatening to run down my cheeks. Don't show any weaknesses, Park Chaeyoung! Don't let his words affect you!

"LIAR!"

It was a very intense battle, but all I felt was rage, disappointment, pain and an urge to kill him. In the end, Jungkook used Confundo to mess with his mind and I yelled Ventus Tria making him hit the wall with his head, making him unconscious, but I wasn't satisfied yet. I was about to cast another spell on him and vent out my anger, when Jungkook grabbed my arm to stop me.

"We won, Chae. You won. The match is over. Don't let your rage take control over you!" He whispered softly.

There was this pain I couldn't describe. It made me want to rip my own heart out. Indescribable pain. I threw my wand away and ran out of the classroom, tears falling.

"Chae!" I heard Jungkook's call.

I just wanted to be alone, see no one, hear no one. Did Mum lie to me? No Mum would never lie to me. Don't let him get into your head. My steps were fast. I didn't know where I wanted to go, I just let my feet lead me. A moment later, I found myself in the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest was a sacred place in my heart. Lots of magical creatures lived there such as acromantulas, centaurs, unicorns and thestrals. Whenever there was something on my mind and I didn't want to talk to anyone about it yet, I always came to the forest.

I let myself fall into the thick snow. I didn't feel the cold of the snow surrounding my fragile body despite only wearing a thin cloak. The  freezing wind that always felt like blades cutting my skin seemed to have disappeared. I took out a little flute. It was a birthday gift from Jisoo. The flute was a little smaller than my hand, made of bamboo. I put the flute to my lips and played a melody, one I was very familiar with. The clear sound of the flute echoed in the forest mixed with the sound of leaves rustling.

Suddenly I heard noises coming from the bushes behind me. I stopped playing and looked around. A little black, furry creature with a long snout jumped out of the bushes.

A niffler.

A/N:
Hello everyone!
Here is another boring chapter.
About Harry, Harry still defeated Voldemort, nothing changed. It's just that this story plays around two decades after the Harry Potter series. And I revived some characters like Lupin, because I don't like the fact that they died and I added some of my own characters into the HP storyline.
Everything that happened in the HP books stays the same, this is basically just a sequel with tiny differences about what actually happened in the books. But this is a Rosekook ff, so the original characters and the books aren't important ;)

I'm going on a holiday tomorrow for a week, so I'm not sure if I'll have time to update. But I hope you enjoyed that chapter, vote and comment.
And stay safe and healthy!

PS: The picture above is a niffler.
