Well, Rose has some issues when it comes to boys. Ten years of having a crush on James Potter will do that to a girl. And her mother is no help, she just tells her that it will all work out in the end. So Scorpius, who is pretty and safe and there, seems like a very good option. But fear not, ravenpan! Chapter 19 is on its way to make things better.

And the boys would be very grateful for the hugging, you're a good soul!
