Christmas holyday arrived and we were on our way back home. Sitting with me in the compartment was Scorpius, Albus and Karen. I was lying against the window with my foot on Scorp’s lap. Karen was like me but with Albus instead of Scorpius – no really?! – and we were talking about the things that happened and what would happen now.

“I can’t believe that it all happened in 4 months! I mean, Albus and I started dating, you and Scorpius started dating, your little brother started dating. That’s a lot for only 4 months!” Karen said once more.

“We all have been preoccupied sweetie.” Albus said patiently while caressing his girlfriend’s legs.

I was worried about seeing my dad. I didn’t want to lie to him. Don’t get me wrong, I know I’ve done it before, but not that I was proud of it. It’s just that I used to be so close to him and now, I feel like he doesn’t know part of my life, like that silly muggle show, what’s it name again? Hannah Montana.

I’d decided I would tell him about Scorp… someday.

After some time in the train, both Al and Ka decided to excuse themselves (to do god knows what) and when Scorp and I were going to snog the compartment door slide open and 2 guys entered.

“What you doing?” Fred said in a singing voice, the kind that pissed me off.

“Why should that matter?” I snapped.

“Come on Rosie, we’re just looking out for ya!” James said. “And that’s why we’re going to ask you to leave this compartment.”

“And leave you alone with Scorpius? Ha! Never.” I sensed Scorp shift uncomfortably beside me.

“Don’t worry, it’s not like we’re going to hurt him, we promised you.” Fred started.

“We just want to get to know your boyfriend” James finished.

“I’m not getting out.”

“Okay… So, Scorpius” Fred titled in his direction. “Tell me about yourself.”

“Uhm…”

“Come on, don’t be shy!”

“Okay… I’m an only child, I like quidditch and I want to be an auror when I leave school.”

“You like quidditch?”

“Of course he does! He’s a quidditch captain, like me”

“I know James, what I meant is, you will get along just fine with the other males, the only thing they talk about is quidditch!”

“And my dad would love to talk to him about auror training.”

“True. Can I call you Malfoy or Scorp? Scorpius is just to weird for a name…”

“Fred!” I interrupted

“What? It’s true!”

“I agree my name is weird. You can call me Scorp or Malfoy.”

“Thank you Scorp. So, what’s your biggest fear?”

“Ronald Weasley” He said without thinking. It set us on laughter.

“I can’t say I don’t see your point of view, Uncle Ron can be quite scary, but he’s just a big goofy really.”

“Remember Fred, he’s over protective. My mom told me about her 5th year. Uncle Ron started yelling at her because she was snogging her boyfriend.”
