!!!!!!READ THIS!!!!!!

A/N

Hey guyz hope u enjoy this. I tried to make it a bit fluffy because who doesn't need some fluff in their life.

Also, you know how I alternate whose point of view it is and then retell each scene except from the other's point of view? (did that make any sense, i hope it did) Well I think that it might be annoying to read the same thing twice, especially for chapters that are mostly dialogue between only Rose and Scorpius. So at the beginning of each chapter I'll write if it's retell or continue. (retell being retelling the scene from the other's point of view and continue being picking up where the last chapter ended)


Hope that made sense! Enjoy guys!

Chapter 8

Rose's POV - Continue

After dinner Ashlynn, James and I walk back to the Common Room. I'm so lost in thought that by the time we get to our dormitory, I can hardly recall anything we've talked about the entire walk back. Ashlynn seems to be in la-la land as well for when I ask her a question, she doesn't acknowledge that I've said anything.

"Ashlynn?" I ask, snapping in her face. "Ash?"

"Oh," she shakes her head a bit, as if coming back to reality, "sorry, what?"

"I was just asking how things are with James," I laugh.

"Oh, they're great actually!" she says, her eyes lighting up at the mention of James. I wonder how I'd never noticed before. It seems obvious now, the way James looks at her, the way whenever I mention him to Ashlynn, she immediately sits up straight and pays attention. I wasn't the only one with a secret relationship. Ashlynn and James had been too afraid that I wouldn't accept them that they managed to keep it hidden for the entire summer holiday. I'm slightly offended that they didn't tell me right away, but I know what it's like to worry that people won't take your relationship well.

I really do wish that I could tell my parents about Scor and I, but I just can't. Scorpius doesn't understand. He tells me that he's not afraid of what anyone thinks and that if anyone has something to say about it then they'll answer to him. But what random people from school think is beside the point, I don't care about them. I do care about my family though, and if they found out that I've been lying about boys (more specifically a Slytherin boy who just so happens to be the son of their lifelong enemy) then I don't know what they would do. My dad might disown me. My mom would give me a talk about how I deserve a better man, one who will love me and share my passion for learning.

They just wouldn't understand. They'd look right past the real him and assume he's just like his father. It doesn't help much that Scor is the spitting image of Draco at his age. They won't be able to accept it. We can't tell them until I know for sure that it's real, that it will last forever. If Scor isn't in this for the long run then why waste my time admitting this big lie to my family. All of these problems can be avoided if we just give ourselves time to mature and give our parents time to figure out that they don't have control over who we fall in love with.

"I'm so happy for you guys. It's so adorable!" I say.

"Thanks, I guess," she says, getting uncomfortable with the compliment. At least she gets compliments, all I get is the both of them constantly judging my decisions.

"Seriously, my best friend and my cousin, two of my favorite people, are together!" I say. "I get to third wheel whenever I want."

"Well not whenever you want. We need our alone time if ya know what I mean," she says, shooting me a cheeky wink. Now she's acting more like her old self.
