everything falls down (rose)

[Deleted]

Hugo was pacing outside the Ravenclaw common room, waiting for Rose to show up. It had been over a month since he had that vision and he had basically avoided her since then. At least, he had avoided getting her alone or letting the topic be brought up. Now, he finally had the courage to tell her what he had seen.

He felt terrible about it, not wanting to be the person to tell her that she couldn't be with Scorpius, but what choice did he have? He had seen her die and the evidence showed that it was by Scorpius's hand, no? He didn't have a choice. He didn't have a choice. He couldn't let her die like that and he couldn't let Scorp become a murderer. He was doing this for both of them.

Finally, he saw her, and he didn't even have to say anything. She would be able to see from his biting of nails, pale skin and wide eyes. She would know to come to him.

Ugh, she looked so happy.

Things were looking up. Rose and Scorpius had finally admitted their feelings for one another. Rose had never felt so happy in her life! Granted there were many things to still considerable and feel down about, she felt happier and hopeful with Scorpius by her side. Even if they had decided to keep it a secret for now, she felt happy knowing that she had him and he had her. That was all that mattered.

The only person who knew about them so far was none other than Rose's younger brother, Hugo. The two kept absolutely nothing from one another and she had gone to him in the very beginning before even Scorpius knew how she had felt about him. Hugo was always the wiser one when it came down to the Granger-Weasley kids and Rose loved her brother more than anything. Which was why when she saw him outside of the common room looking particularly anxious about something, she dawned a look of worry almost immediately and rushed over to him.

"Hugh?" The Ravenclaw asked, stepping into his view just a few inches in front of him. "Is everything alright?"

As Rose sped toward him Hugo actually took a few steps back, almost ready to screw the whole telling her thing and run for it. She automatically knew something was wrong, of course, and asked him if everything was all right. He shook his head. He would never lie to Rose, never, and now he had gotten himself into this and he had to see it through. "It's not we... we need to talk. Alone," he said, glancing behind her as if expecting Scorpius to be not far behind. He breathed with relief when he didn't see the blonde anywhere nearby.

"Do you have some time?" he asked her, never wanting to inconvenience her. He bit his lip nervously and twiddled his hands in front of him as he asked her, glancing around as if he was waiting for an axe to fall on them. He was almost as freaked out as he had been when he first saw the vision. The thought of telling her was making him sick to his stomach. But what choice did he have!?

Rose's brow furrowed in absolute worry for her brother. She had never seen him look so distressed about something before and it actually hurt her to see Hugo act that way. "Okay," she nodded at him quickly. Careful not to touch her brother's skin with her own, she gently grabbed the sleeve of his robes and led him down the hall and around the corner so they were out of sight from anyone entering or exiting the Ravenclaw common room.

"I've got all the time in the world," Rose said, steadying her brother then with both her hands on his shoulders. For Hugo, she would always drop what she was doing to listen to what he had to say. "Now tell me, what is it?"

Hugo winced as she clutched his robes, but hopefully not big enough for her to notice. He let her lead him until they were out of site. She clutched both of his shoulders and he felt immense comfort from it. He sunk into her hands, leaning forward slightly as she asked him what it was he needed to talk about. "It's... my vision. The one I had at the Broomsticks. Why I've been... avoiding you," he said, trying hard not to revert his eyes from hers.

"You died, Rose. In a terrible way. It almost didn't look real it was... strange and warped. Like someone was playing mind tricks on me... or you and..." he felt himself start shaking then, but he took a deep breath anyway. "Something about your path is wrong. He killed you, Rose. He killed you," he whispered it the second time.

Rose felt her brother lean into her hands and her ears were prickling with anticipation for what he had to say. He was acting so weird, it had to be very serious. She stared at him, brow furrowed and eyes unblinking. When he said that the vision he had had in the Three Broomsticks was why he had been avoiding her, Rose felt her lips part in confusion but her brow and eyes stayed focused on him. Her heart was pounding. What could be so bad that he, Hugo, had avoided her?

Then he said it.

She died? Slowly, her eyes widened to a regular size and her brow rose but she didn't move. Hugo's next words stuck, ringing in her ears. She didn't need him to say his name, for she knew what 'he' meant. Rose was looking past Hugo at the wall, her eyes fixed on one part of it and not moving. Hugo's visions were rarely wrong, but they were subjective. Something she was doing had to be leading her to that path... After what felt like a very long few minutes, Rose looked at her brother. "What - what could be wrong?" She asked, the confusion very apparent on her face and in her voice. "We - we just got to a good place..." her voice was so quiet as it cracked slightly at the end of her sentence. She and Scorpius had finally just admitted their feelings to one another and... this was going to be the outcome of it? Rose blinked back the stinging of what felt like tears. She wasn't going to cry yet.

As her eyebrow rose up Hugo swallowed nervously. She sounded so sad, so… heartbroken, and it was all because of him. He hated knowing that he had brought that emotion about in her and he felt his chest tighten up at the thought. ”I don’t… I don’t know, Rose. But one of you needs to change something. Soon,” she didn’t look that much older in the vision. Maybe four or five years. ”I… maybe you aren’t supposed to…” he looked away, taking a slight step back so her hands couldn’t reach him anymore, ”maybe you shouldn’t be with him, Rose.” His voice was flat now, almost emotionless as he looked up into her eyes again, ”I don’t know if I can let you. Not if this is going to happen.”

(this is all sad and stuff D: but don't worry she can convince him to give it a chance XD)

Rose's brow was still creased in worry and the longer she dwelled on it, she felt a large gulp in her throat that she couldn't seem to get rid of. It felt heavy and her heart was beating surprisingly fast. Her mouth formed a line that creased only slightly at the edges into a small frown. She couldn't believe this was happening. She knew that Hugo didn't mean any harm and that he was only saying this to protect her but... that didn't mean it didn't hurt. And she knew it wasn't his fault. She knew that he couldn't help what he saw. She was just heartbroken that this was the path that she and Scorpius were currently on.

The Ravenclaw looked down and away from her brother and closed her eyes for a moment and took in a deep breath to keep herself from tearing up in front of her brother. She didn't want to upset him. All he was doing was trying to do what was best for her. She looked back at him. She didn't smile at him but she felt a little better than she did when she first heard it. "Then that's that," she said simply, though inside she felt as if her heart had just broken in two. "Honestly... I don't know how it would work over the summer anyway. What with... Ondina and... Dad." Her voice slowed at the end, realizing for the first time that she did have to go a whole summer without him regardless. She had been so happy that she had forgotten about her father and what disappointment she was sure he would have in her if he found out about them.

Hugos heart broke at her matter of fact words because he knew that she was feeling much more than that. She went on to say how it woudln't work out anyway because of Ondina and dad and Hugo shook his head, frowning. "I don't want to hurt you," he muttered. He hated being any part of any thing that caused her to be unhappy. That was the last thing in the world he wanted to be. "Just be careful, okay? We';; figure it out," he smiled at her, trying his best to look hopeful but knowing that he was probably failing at that. His smile may have looked more like a nervous grimace than anything.

He sighed, taking a step back. "Now that you know, let's just forget about it for now," he added, unsure of how he was going to change the topic. He didn't want to talk about Ron or Ondina and their relationships to Scorpious because he really didn't want to sway her either way. Not anymore than he already had.

Rose smiled at her brother, albeit a slightly forced one. She knew he meant every word he said, though, and knew that if he could he would try to figure it out right then and there. But she knew these things took time in unraveling. She nodded her head a bit too enthusiastically. "Yeah," she said, trying to convince herself that such a thing could be figured out so easily. "We will."

It was going to take a lot to forget about such a thing when things were just beginning to seem like they were falling into place. But Rose wanted to make an effort. If her relationship with Scorpius was to turn out dangerously, she had to at least try to get her mind off of it for a while to make it easier on her. She let out a light sigh and attempted to change the subject. "Are you excited for the holidays? With the Meagles?" She asked, surprisingly casually.

[Deleted]

Hugo felt sick, his stomach twisted in knots. He didn't go on to talk about it though, considering that it was a hard conversation. They would need to figure this out eventually but for now... it was better to just pretend that everything was going to be okay. At least for a few more sweet moments. Just a few more worry free moments...

The subject change was awkward, but he took the bait. "I am! Xanthippe is going to do a lot of painting there so I'm excited to see those. Have you seen her stuff?" he asked, actually succeeding a little in acting positive. It was hard not to when talking about Xan's artistic talent, right?

Rose actually smiled at Hugo's response, glad that he took the subject change and seemed to roll with it nicely. She raised her eyebrows, interested in the topic at hand. "No," she shook her head, smiling lightly. "I haven't! Which is odd... considering we're in the same house." She said, a small chuckle escaping her mouth. "Is she really good?" She asked, doubting that Xanthippe could be bad if Hugo seemed excited to see the paintings. In fact, he seemed more than a little excited... and that fact made Rose smile a little wider.

Hugo nodded, "she is. She's great. More than great," he felt his ears starting to burn and he smiled, but then he felt bad. He was telling Rose that she couldn't be with the guy she liked and here he was flaunting his feelings for Xan in her face. He sighed, and did something completely out of character and reached out to take both her hands in his. He looked straight into her eyes, willing his visions to stay away. They did. "Rose. I want you to listen to me," he said firmly, "I will do everything in my power to find out what that vision meant, and to make it not happen. And if, after we have some answers, you still want to be with him that's okay. But until then please, please be careful. Please, don't get careless," he had never talked that sternly to his sister in his life.

(one more on your end then we done?)

Rose genuinely smiled at her brother's words. She couldn't be sure, of course, but she had a feeling that there was something else behind Hugo's words as he, too, also smiled. "Well, I guess I'll just have to ask to see some of her work, then," Rose decided. Rose was happy that Hugo was happy. If Rose couldn't be with Scorpius, she would want nothing more than for Hugo to be with the one he had feelings for and Rose was getting a feeling that that person may be Xanthippe. But she wouldn't say anything, of course. Hugo would tell her when he was ready. She knew he would.

Hugo surprised Rose when he took both of her hands in his. Rose didn't even have time to react or gasp or anything, she just looked down at their hands with a worried brow but then her eyes met her brother's. His words meant so much to her. Rose could never, ever go against her brother's wishes... no matter how badly she may want to. She could feel herself swallow the nervous lump in her throat. "Of course, Hugh," she nodded once in understanding. "I'll be careful."

But this was a Weasley/Malfoy relationship they were talking about... careful wasn't really a word one would use to describe such a pairing.
