"I-I'm sorry," Rose sniffled, fighting back her tears. She hated crying. She shook her head slowly, though she wasn't entirely sure why. She wanted them back home. She wanted her cousins back at Hogwarts. Nothing she did, no amount of research seemed to make the slightest difference in the situation.
Upon Louis's entrance, Rose had frozen slightly. She hastily wiped at her tears with her free hand, rubbing her hand across her cheek roughly. She didn't want Louis to see her cry. It was awkward, especially with Rose being there also. She turned her face completely away from Louis for maybe the first time ever. She always greeted him with a smile and a 'Louis!' She was breaking the seventeen year tradition. Her heart sank. She knew Louis would know something was up. He would probably ask.
