Rose Maria Weasley sat on a bench by the Black Lake, thinking. It was a beautiful September afternoon and since classes had just started, that very day, she was free from school work. She had been pleased this summer when her O.W.L. scores had arrived. She’d managed all Outstandings, of course. And her Cousin, and best friend, Albus had gotten mostly Exceeds Expectations, with a couple of Outstandings for good measure. Upon arriving at the train station she leaned that her other best friend, Scorpius, had received all Outstandings, expect for one Exceeds Expectations in Herbology.
Scorpius. Rose sighed, now there was an interesting subject. He was always so quiet. Most of the time he simply went along with whatever Albus said. He was quite an enigma to her. Whereas Albus seemed to date someone new every week, Scorpius never even talked about liking someone. He just didn’t seem interested in anyone.
Rose was interrupted in her musing as someone sat down beside her. She looked up to greet the person and smiled at her good friend and cousin, Lily Luna Potter. “Hello.”
“Hey Rosie!” Lily grinned. She was the only person Rose allowed to caller her by that particular nickname. “Whatcha doin’?
“Ugh, deplorable grammar, Lily,” Rose chided. She rolled her eyes when the other redhead simply shrugged her shoulders, and then answered, “I was thinking about Al and Scorp.”
Lily’s smile widened. “They’re great, aren’t they?” Rose nodded in agreement. “Though my brother has turned into a bit of a man-whore.”
“Lily! Language!” the Ravenclaw admonished.
“Sorry,” Lily mumbled. “But it’s true!”
Rose chuckled. “And, as it turns out, anyone’s fair game.” Lily looked confused. “You didn’t know? His most recent interest is a boy.”
Lily laughed, “I should have seen that one coming. Al never could make up his mind.”
“I know.”
There was a brief moment of silence. “Now, what about Scorp?” Lily asked.
“What about him?” Rose wondered, eyebrow furrowing in confusion.
“Well, is he into boys or girls?”
Rose thought about this for a long moment before responding. “I have no idea.”
“Personally, “ Lily told her, “I think he’s gay.”
“What makes you say that?”
Lily shrugged. “Just a feeling.”
Rose rolled her eyes, “Such a Slytherin.” She grinned. “Well, I won’t be making any judgments until I have proof.”
“Such a Ravenclaw thing to say.”
Both girls grinned at each other for a second. They sat in silence for a long time. Rose thought about Scorpius some more. That boy never talked about anyone. Well, anyone other than Albus, that is.

Father,
As usual my classes have started off rather dull. Also as usual Albus has a new relationship. However, this one’s a bit different. He’s currently dating Jacob, a fellow sixth year Gryffindor. It’s a bit awkward at times to be sharing a room with them.
On another note, Rose continues to take up permanent residence at a table in our Common Room. But sweet Lily has been spending more and more time down in Slytherin. I have a feeling there’s a boy involved with this development. I’m starting to miss her and I hope she continues to stay out of trouble.
Oh, Albus has been asking when Mother will be sending me some more sweets. Would you pass on the request? Al would love some.
I’ll write more later.
Your Son,
Scorpius
September 11
Son,
I had a run in with Harry a few days back and had heard of Albus’s new fling. I wonder where this will take him. As for the awkwardness, I sympathize. I had the same issue with Vincent and Greg in my seventh year. You will learn to make it work.
I’m beginning to wonder if Rose should be made an honorary Gryffindor and given a bed in the dorms. And as for Lily, I would have to agree. The most logical reason for her change in habit is a boy. One of two things will most likely happen, she’ll either move on and go back to the way things were, or you’ll end up with a new friend.
Your mother is baking as I write and has decided to pack two boxes. One for you and one for Albus. When he gets them make sure he writes her a thank you note.
.
Waiting to hear from you.
Your Father,
Draco
