“ hold me closer, tiny daaancer, ” rose sang in an off-key warble, clutching her bottle of firewhiskey tightly. both the alcohol and the song were making her feel warm inside, and she gave the person sitting at the bar next to her a sloppy, sentimental grin. “ it’s a good song, don’t you think? ” it was an old muggle song that was one of her grandfather’s favourites, and right now, in her inebriated state, rose was very certain it was the best song she’d ever heard.

Alice noticed how Rose’s ears changed color and smiled with amusement, but bit back a chuckle. She wasn’t quite sure she and Rose were quite on bantering-about-sex terms. But then she turned it back on her, and she did chuckle. “We did nothing but sleep, it was all perfectly above-board.” She assured her. Even if she did feel up to it, which she didn’t quite yet, Scorpius had this weird thing about having sex in the apartment. Alice wasn’t sure if it was because of her, or because of his roommates, but it was still easier to sleep without nightmares when he was there next to her. She wondered if she’d feel the same about just any warm body. “You have the day off today? What is it you do again?”

rose sipped her coffee as she listened to the other girl’s words. if alice was telling the truth, and the last few nights she’d spent here had been chaste, she didn’t blame her. she knew alice had been injured at the ministry riots, and it was only natural that sex wasn’t the first thing on her mind right now. in a way, rose was glad of it -- she knew how her cousin felt about scorpius, and she couldn’t imagine it would be very pleasant for albus to know that scorpius was having sex with someone else in such close proximity. “ i’m a magizoologist, ” rose explained. “ i do a lot of work with non-human beings. so the ministry thought it might be best for me to stay at home, being the minister’s daughter and all. until things, erm, cool down. ”

“Just sugar would be great, thanks.” Alice answered, setting down her spoon. Scorpius had assured her that Albus and Rose wouldn’t mind her staying over, and so far she hadn’t had any problems with either of them. She’d never lived with roommates before, she didn’t even have siblings to compare with, but there was something comforting about staying with others. She wondered if that feeling would last even once she was healed, but then reminded herself that she wouldn’t be staying long enough to find out. She’d hate to wear out her welcome.

“Not at all, I didn’t hear a thing,” she shook her head, since she’d been hurt she alternated between sleeping like the dead and being woken by nightmares –flashbacks?– of what had happened to her. She had woken a couple of times last night, but not because of anything else she’d heard. “Was it a good night, at least?” She asked with a sly smile.

the sound of the coffeemaker filled the kitchen. it was a sound that reminded rose of home, of her mother brewing a cup of coffee each morning before she left for work at the ministry, and the strong scent of coffee that wafted through the air moments later only strengthened that nostalgia. she was feeling significantly better as she poured the coffee, stirring sugar into alice’s. rose caught alice’s sly smile and shrugged, the tips of her ears turning pink. it was an unfortunate quirk she’d inherited from her father. “ a good night ... you could say that. ” rose set the coffee down in front of alice, sitting across from her and raising her eyebrows. “ i could also ask the same of you. ” knowing scorpius, rose suspected that the night alice had spent in scor’s room hadn’t been entirely devoted to sleeping.

It wasn’t anything new for Alice to wake up in a strange bedroom, but it was new to realize that she didn’t have to creep home in the wee hours of the morning. Scorpius was nowhere to be seen, but her stomach was growling so she’d gotten dressed in a pair of comfy workout shorts and a grey tank top and ventured out into the apartment. No one else seemed to be up, so she limped around the kitchen, poking through cupboards until she found some cereal.

She was just easing herself down into a seat when someone else emerged, and she gave a tentative smile as Rose trudged into the kitchen. “Morning,” she greeted her softly before swallowing a spoonful of cereal. She nodded to her offer. “Coffee would be amazing, thanks.”

it wasn’t lost on rose that alice had spent the night in scorpius’s bedroom, as well as the last few nights. as she grabbed the coffee beans ( magicked to boost the caffeine effect ), she couldn’t help but wonder what exactly was going on between them. “ what do you take in your coffee? ” she called behind her. “ i normally have mine black, but we have sugar, milk, and cream. ” it felt odd, this level of normalcy when just a few days ago they had all been frightened for their lives. “ i hope i didn’t wake you, ” rose added as she tipped the ground-up beans into the coffee maker. “ i came in pretty, um, late last night. ” meaning, she had stumbled through the door drunk at 3 am after hooking up with some random guy in the bathroom of a muggle club.

it was a few days after the riot, but rose still was on edge from the protest at the ministry. she kept thinking back to the chaos, caught in between her family and the cause she supported. she could’ve done more. if only she had stayed a bit longer, maybe tried to diffuse the situation ... she was the minister’s daughter, after all. she should’ve been able to help. it was these thoughts that kept rose at the leaky cauldron until last call at 1 am, which she regretted deeply when she woke up at noon the next day with a pounding headache. shuffling into the kitchen in an oversized tee and boxer shorts, her hair a mess and her eyes smudged with eyeliner from last night, she was startled at first to see alice there. a few seconds later, her hungover mind remembered that she was staying with them while she healed. rose gave the other girl a slightly awkward smile, very conscious of her sloppy appearance. “ erm, i was just about to make some coffee, ” she said by way of a greeting. “ you want some? ”

“I understand that better than most, Rose. But these things get out of hand and innocent people get hurt. That can’t happen to you, if the Minister’s daughter gets hurt in a riot caused by their protest, it’s going to hurt their cause. You need to leave.”

rose hesitated. “ just -- promise me you won’t hurt any of them, okay, teddy? it’s not right. they don’t deserve this. ” casting a final, worried look around her, she closed her eyes tightly and spun on the spot, disappearing instantly. when she opened her eyes, she was at home, safe and sound, but that didn’t assuage the misgivings gnawing at her.

“They got your parents out already, I’m sure everyone else is trying to get out. Disapparate back to the Ministry, that’s probably where you mum is.” He ordered her, her staying here would only put herself and others at risk. “I’ll find them and send them to you, but you gotta go Rose.”

“ teddy, these are just people who want equal rights. they aren’t death eaters or anything, they’re not going to hurt people without cause. ”

Teddy was trying to figure out what exactly was going on, and get all the Weasley and Potter kids to safety. He saw Rose and ran over to her, but she turned in such a hurry that she knocked into him. “Rose! Be careful!” He chastised her, his tone harsh because of the situation. “Are you all right?” He asked, pushing himself to his feet before he reached for her hand.

“ yeah, yeah, i’m sorry, it’s this damn dress. i can’t move at all in it, ” rose said in frustration. she grabbed his hand, pulling herself to her feet. “ where’s the rest of my family? and albus and scor? have you seen them? ”

when she heard the screams and turned to see protesters pouring through the doors of the ballroom, rose was almost relieved. getting all dressed up in a slinky silver evening gown and making small talk with people who actually had their life together was definitely not her idea of a party. especially when there was a protest happening outside, a protest which, if only she wasn’t the daughter of the minister of magic, rose would definitely be participating in. rose stood frozen as the first duels began happening, unsure of what to do or who to aim her wand at. but when she saw a ministry auror open his mouth to cast a curse at a sphinx whose back was turned, she leapt into action, shoving him out of the way so the curse hit the ceiling instead. rose hardly had time to blink before a curse passed narrowly in front of her, and she backed up so quickly that she knocked both herself and the person behind her over.
