"I'm…I'm in love with him." Albus stuttered.

"I think," he added quickly.

"And you're aware of this since…?" Rose asked, watching him with pity. She probably wondered how he got himself in such a prediction.

"I don't know. I mean: it's weird and…I think it was him who…let me discover that I'm…gay," he looked down, almost ashamed of himself.

"And he knows that?" Her firing questions never stopped, Albus knew, but it was helping him to tell his story.

"He knows I'm gay, of course he knows that. But that I'm in love with him? No…no he doesn't know that." Albus stuttered through the entire conversation. It was incredibly awkward from the minute he decided to tell her.

"And how did you discover you're in love with him?" Rose asked. Yeah, that was the tricky question, wasn't it?

"Like I said, it was him. And you of course. It was mostly because I had to tell you the nice parts about him, you know? To let you realize that he isn't that bad. To let you to be friends!" Albus almost cried out of frustration. He had tried like forever to show them how much fun the both of them were, but it had ended into a competition.

"The irony is that I liked him better and better and you hated him more and more," Albus said, his voice breaking. Rose stood up and hugged her cousin.

"That's not fair Al, I do like him now. I bit," she tried to convince him. Albus smiled for a sec, but threw his hands in the air.

"But it's so doomed, you know! I mean: first I didn't got why Scorpius and you hated each other — and I must say, I still don't understand your hate towards Scorpius, — but his reason was so clear as day and then…I think that was the moment. The moment he said he was in love with someone — a girl — and he was so hurt when he admitted it and I…it hurt. Okay, it hurt. It hurts so much," as he said it, the tears fell down. It all hurt. The fact that he was gay. The fact that he couldn't tell his parents about it. The fact he'd been falling for his best friend of all people and Rose didn't even understand half the story he just told her.

"So go, Rose, and give him his chance, because I can't bare to see him suffering. I would rather see him together with his bird than see him unhappy," he said. His secret was out and everything was just so messed up, he wanted to reveal everyone's secret.

"What has this to do with me, Al?" Rose asked. It was a good question, but Albus was done talking about it.

"You're so smart, Rosie, I think you can solve this riddle yourself," he answered thereby, but Rose looked at him and she shook her head.

"That's not possible Al, that's absolutely NOT possible. We hate each other! We despite each other and…and…and he doesn't even KNOW me! How can he tell you that…how DARE he!" She said. He knew that she had suspected it for quite some time, but never really accepted it. It made Albus mad to think about the fact that Rose despited him so much. That would ruin Scorpius and him thereby much more.

"How dare YOU, Rosie? I can see it in your eyes too, you know! You told me just a second ago that you do like him, why deny it now? He does know you and you know him too. You know the things he likes so you can decide how to hurt him. And he dared. He did, but you don't. You just…deny it and walk away."
