hexed

chapter 4

I go down to dinner after Madame promfrey finally let me out of the hospital wing. I search the slytherin table but scorpius isnt there. where could he be? suddenly holly walks up to me and frowns

"hello" she says "you dont look good at all"

"gee thanks" but i feel sorry for her. she can't tell lies, like literally, she was cursed as a child.

she runs down to the hufflepuff  table. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. do I really look that bad? as I make my way to the  Gryffindor table I sense someone watching me, I turn and there's scorpius, peering around the corner of a near pillar.

"rose!" he whispered

"scorpius!" I reply walking over to him "what are you doing?!"

"how are you feeling?"

"yeah I'm fine but-"

"listen I have to be somewhere but I can't talk now"

"scorpius what are you up to!"

but he had all ready turned to leave.

something was up, and whatever it is I am going to find out.

             ********************

it's cold and silent. the darkness hangs around me like a giant blanket . I'm in the common room and it is 11:46pm. I creep up the stairs to the boys dorm and quietly move over to my cousins bed. albus lies sound asleep as I reach into  his  Hogwarts trunk and pull out his invisibility cloak his farther had given him last year. I pull it over  myself and reach for the marauders map. I'll return them later.

I go down to the common room and look at the map. it shows everyone, everywhere.

I spend three quarters of an hour searching for scorpius name. he was acting so suspicious I'm worried.

it finally dawns on me. this is a map that shows everyone and everything all the time at Hogwarts and scorpius is not there at all.
