Hogwarts - The Next Gen.

Chapter 22. In need of help...

Y/n watched from the doorway, her heart sinking at the sight of Scorpius preparing to leave without a noticed.

She longed to be by his side, to offer her support and comfort in whatever trouble Rose had found herself in. But she knew all too well the strained relationship between her and Rose, and she understood that her presence would only complicate matters further.

"Take Albus and Lilly with you!" Y/n urged, her voice tinged with worry. "They'll help you figure out what's going on." Scorpius nodded, his expression filled with determination as he turned to his friends. "Let's go." he said, his tone resolute as he led the way.

As Albus and Lilly followed Scorpius, Y/n couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of her stomach. She watched them go, a sense of helplessness washing over her as she wished she could be there to lend her support.

Meanwhile, back at the Potter house, James Potter furrowed his brow in confusion as Y/n recounted the frantic call from Rose. "That doesn't sound good." he murmured, his mind already spinning with worry for his cousin.

Without hesitation, James reached for his own cellphone, intent on reaching out to Scorpius and the others to check on their well-being. But to his dismay, there was no response, only silence echoing back at him through the device.

Y/n's heart clenched at the sight of James's troubled expression, a sense of foreboding settling over her as she realized that whatever was happening with Rose and the others, it was far more serious than she had initially feared.

James burst into the office of his dad, his face pale with worry. "Dad, Uncle Ron, we need help." he exclaimed, his voice urgent. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley exchanged concerned glances, their instincts as Aurors kicking into high gear. "What's wrong, James?" Harry asked, his tone firm but gentle.

"It's the others." James explained, his words tumbling out in a rush. "They got a urgent call from Rose for help. I just tried to contact them, to find out if everythings okay. But their not picking up."

Harry and Ron exchanged a knowing look, their shared history of facing dark forces stirring memories of past battles and history with Albus and Scorpius mischiefs. Without hesitation, they knew they needed to act quickly. "Ginny, Hermione!" Harry called out, summoning his wife and Ron's wife to join them.

As they gathered in the office they quickly formulated a plan. As they approached the Weasley home, their worst fears were realized.

They found enormous claws on the unlocked front door. They swung it open cautiously. Cracks snaked up the walls, windows shattered, and the front door hung off its hinges. It was clear that a great struggle had taken place within.

Ignoring the ominous signs, they hurried inside, wands at the ready. The moonlight filtering through the broken windows illuminated the chaos within. Furniture lay overturned, and debris littered the floor.

"We need to search every room." Ron declared, his voice resolute. "They might be in trouble, and we can't waste any time." Room by room, they combed through the house, but there was no sign of the others. Not a trace of where they could have gone or what could have happened to them. "Rose! Lilly! Hugo! Albus!" Ginny and Hermoine called out desperately, their voices echoing through the wreckage. But there was no response.

As they regrouped in the empty kitchen, Harry's mind raced with possibilities. "Where could they be?" he mused aloud, his brow furrowed in concern.

The group exchanged worried glances before pressing on. They ascended the staircase cautiously, every creak of the floorboards sending shivers down their spines.

Just then, a voice interrupted their thoughts. "Euh.. what's going on?" Rose Weasley, accompanied by her brother Hugo, their cousin Lily, Albus and their friend Scorpius, stood in the doorway, their expressions a mix of confusion and concern. Harry, Ron, and James exchanged a glance, realizing that everyone was safe.

Before Y/n could hug her friends, Rose planted a kissed on Scorpius's lips without any hesitation, much to his surprise. Y/n's eyes widened in shock as she watched the scene unfold before her. Anger flashed in her gaze as she realized what Rose was up to. Rose Weasley, what do you think you're doing?" y/n exclaimed, her voice trembling with fury.

Rose merely shrugged, feigning innocence. "What's wrong with kissing my boyfriend?" she replied nonchalantly.

Albus could only shake his head in disbelief as the tension in the room thickened. Y/n's eyes filled with tears. Scorpius pushed Rose away and went after Y/n who left the house. Albus's anger at Rose's cry for attention quickly dissolved in the face of the true danger they had narrowly escaped.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and called the case in for an investigation.
Hermione looked at her daughter and was shaken by her behaviour. The house was quiet torned down and the only thing she could to is to make y/n try... Does she have anything to do with this?

--- Scorpius and Y/n ---
Y/n stumbled through the dimly lit streets, her mind swirling with confusion and hurt. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. How could Rose, her supposed friend, stoop so low as to pull such a cruel prank.

The image of Scorpius, her boyfriend, kissing Rose lingered in her mind, fueling her insecurities. Was he really back with his ex now? Was that why he had gone to her so easily?

Lost in her thoughts, y/n barely noticed when Scorpius caught up to her, his footsteps echoing softly against the pavement. She tried to protest as he grabbed her, but his touch was gentle yet firm, and she found herself unable to resist.

When Scorpius lifted her chin and kissed her, Y/n's protests melted away. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she poured her heart into the kiss, her emotions raw and unfiltered.

As they pulled away, Scorpius gently wiped away her tears, his eyes filled with concern and affection. They gazed at each other silently, the weight of their unspoken words hanging in the air. "Are you OK?" Scorpius asked softly, his voice filled with genuine concern.

Y/n nodded, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "You really only went to her because she asked for help, huh?" she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Scorpius chuckled, a bitter edge to his laughter. "Yes, she's still a friend. But after a move like that, I don't need her in my life anymore."

Y/n bit her lip, her heart pounding in her chest. "So you love me?" she blurted out, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. Scorpius's surprise was evident as he blushed slightly. "Why do you suddenly ask that?" he replied, his voice tinged with uncertainty. But y/n persisted, her determination shining through. "Do you love..."

Before she could finish her question, Scorpius silenced her with a passionate kiss. Their lips met in a fiery embrace, igniting a spark of desire between them. When they finally broke apart, breathless and exhilarated, Scorpius took a deep breath and met y/n's gaze with a smile. "Yes, I love you." he confessed, his voice filled with sincerity.

Y/n couldn't help but grin, her heart soaring with joy. "Are you serious?" she whispered, her cheeks flushing with happiness.
Scorpius grinned back, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "You have to stop doubting me, otherwise I'll have to show you just how much I love you." he teased, his voice laced with affection. Y/N's face turned beet red, but her laughter filled the air as she leaned into Scorpius's embrace, knowing that their love was stronger than any doubts or fears that might try to tear them apart.
