Lily decided it was a good idea, as she also wanted to separate them. She went in front of Madam Puddifoot's entrance and pretended to cry as soon as she saw Mary Jordan passing by. They knew each other, so Mary stopped to talk to her, and Lily told her that she had had an argument with Smith. A few minutes later, when Mary had moved away, Rose actually came looking for her. Dorian had been right. Lily distracted her cousin for as long as possible until Lou, annoyed by the wait, came out to demand an explanation from his supposed date. At that point, Rose preferred to leave them alone and returned to Scorpius - not before giving the rude Gryffindor Seeker a nasty look - believing she had done her duty.
