Chapter 35th

Rose’s Point of View

It was almost a tradition in my house to go on a family vacation on the first week of July. My parents always said things like ‘We have to do it now before you two get older and stop traveling with us and move away and get jobs and have your own family and bla bla bla’. Or something along those lines.

Anyhow, we go on a vacation muggle style every summer ‘to get it touch with your muggle side of the family’ says the woman who never speak to any of her muggle cousins who I’ve never met. Nice one Mum.

This year Hugo and I expressed a not-so-subtle desire to visit a tropical place and that’s why we were currently sat on an airplane on our way to – get this – Caribbean! To be more precise, the Caribbean island of Antigua.

“Are you excited Rose? I am excited. Do you think I’ll be able to surf? What about turtles and dolphins? I wanna see turtles and dolphins; they are so cute. And sharks! Yeah, that’s manlier; I want to see sharks. Big scary sharks.”

“Hugo stop jumping on your sit. It’s annoying.”

“I would be annoyed with you for being such a killjoy but I’m too excited to care about your gitness”

Picture in your mind, my dear reader and friend, a puppy that has just been offered a big fat treat. That’s my brother.

“Prat.” Hugo, in his best moment of maturity, stuck his tongue out for me and went back to grinning to the window and the nothingness behind it.

Ten minutes past that little conversation, the flight assistant started telling the passengers to buckle up because we would be landing soon. Hugo’s grin widened even further – I didn’t believe that to be possible – and I concentrated on finishing the book I had selected for this flight.

Our resort was located at the coastline with direct access to the beach. The mostly open aired hotel, the sun, clear blue sky, palm trees and water sports were a nice change from the whole rainy Britain thing.

After claiming my bed and exploring the room I would be sharing with my brother I read my second book of this trip and fell asleep.

I woke up with a kiss. Scorpius had prepared breakfast.

“To celebrate your first day at work.” I smiled and he kissed me again. I changed into my robes and entered the Department of Mysteries. Everyone was nice. My co-workers smiled at me and I smiled back.

Kingsley called me over. I got worried.

“Did I did something wrong minister?” I asked him

“Absolutely not, in fact, I was just telling your boss here how I believe you are the perfect girl to work with this new discovery.”

“Really?”

“Of course! You are brilliant and such talent deserves recognition.”

Everyone cheered and Sally Zabini brought me a piece of cake.

“Would you like a cup of coffee or tea Ms. Weasley?”

“Of course! Tea would be great.” She lowered her head in respect and walked away.
