Chapter 1

It was a beautiful winter day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and fourteen year old Rose Weasley and her best friend Leanne Ducannes were on their way to the Great Hall for breakfast.

"Oh, come on, for me?" Leanne pleaded.

"Leanne, I am not accompanying you and Justin on your date. You are perfectly capable of going on a date without me needing to be there to fix something if it goes wrong, and that's final" Rose said.

Leanne sighed. "Ugh, fine…I'll ask Evangeline instead!" she said as the girls reached the hall and made their way to the Gryffindor table.

Rose sighed. Why do I even bother? she thought.

As the girls chowed down on eggs, ham, toast, and pumpkin juice, there was a hoot from above and everyone looked up as hundreds of owls flew in carrying packages and envelopes.

"Mail's here!" Rose's thirteen-year-old brother Hugo said from beside her.

"No, really?" Rose replied sarcastically. Hugo stuck his tongue out at her as his owl Midnight dropped the Daily Prophet in his arms and dropped an envelope in Rose's. She tore her envelope open:

Dear Rosie,

We are terribly sorry we haven't written you in a while, as we have both been very busy at the Ministry. A few remaining Death Eaters have escaped from Azkaban and we have no idea of their whereabouts, though we are looking into it. Please don't worry sweetheart, everything will be fine. Almost every Auror at the Ministry is on the case.

How is school going? We hope you and Hugo are doing well, and that you two are doing well in you classes. Oh, and we also got another cat and we though she could be yours since Hugo has Midnight. She'll be waiting here when you come for Christmas Holidays next week.

Well, we must be on our way, though we will write as soon as we can, and we'll see you next week.

We love you! Xoxo

Love,

Mum and Dad

P.S: Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny invited us over for an early Christmas dinner the day you get back, so tell you brother please and thank you!

Rose finished reading the letter and then put it back in the envelope.

"Letter from you parents?" Leanne asked.

Rose nodded. "They mentioned that a few Death Eaters escaped from Azkaban and they have no clue where they are" she said.

"I got one too, and my parents mentioned that as well. They could be anywhere Rose! They could be in the castle!" Leanne panicked, starting to hyperventilate. Leanne was a big time worrier. With her dad being an Auror like Rose's, you would think she would get used to this kind of stuff, but no, clearly that wasn't the case.

Rose grabbed Leanne's shoulders to steady her. "Leanne, relax! Breathe! I'm sure they aren't here and even if they were, which they aren't! -" she hurried as she saw the horrified look on Leanne's face, " – the school would have known about it. Plus, my mum showed me lots of defense spells that are way beyond our year, and I could show you. It's really not that hard to get them right" she finished.

Leanne scoffed. "Easy for you to say, your parents are two of the people that make up the Golden Trio, the third being Harry freaking Potter, aka your Uncle, so of course it's easy for you. Plus, you're a genius. But, I could use some practice, so sure, why not?" she said.

"Yay!" Rose clapped excitedly as Leanne laughed. "Hey Hugo, mum and dad told me to tell you that Christmas dinner is at Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny's next week" Rose said, looking at Hugo.

"Already? But Christmas isn't for another two weeks" Hugo said.

"It's an early one" Rose explained.

"Oh, I see. Alrighty then" Hugo said as he finished off his breakfast and fled to his first class with his friend Adam. The girls also finished their breakfast before heading off to their first class, Potions. Since school had started up again after the war and after the school was repaired, they had hired two new teachers for Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts: Professor Merliah Kingston for Potions and Professor Jared Lunsford for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Everyone loved them.

As the girls sat through Potions, Rose was finding it hard to concentrate as her mind was elsewhere, thinking about the escaped prisoners. She had even answered a question wrong.

"Miss Weasley, what is the main ingredient in Jaxstone?" Professor Kingston asked.

"Hmm? Oh, um, pixie leaf?" Rose said distractedly.

"I'm sorry, that's incorrect. The correct answer is jelly powder. Are you feeling alright Miss Weasley? As far as I'm aware, you've never answered a question incorrectly" Kingston said, concerned. Rose nodded.

"I'm fine Professor, I've just got a lot on my mind," she said. The older woman nodded, though she still looked unconvinced that she was okay.

For the rest of the day, Rose was not engrossed in her classes as much as she usually was, and it was starting to freak Leanne out. In the evening, while the girls were doing homework, Leanne told Rose to go to the infirmary.

"Why?"

"Because you're not acting like yourself, Rose, and quite frankly, you're starting to scare me. It's like you've gone crazy!" Leanne said exasperatedly.

Rose looked at her friend and saw concern in her eyes and she realized that Leanne deserved to know the truth. " I haven't gone crazy Leanne, really. I'm fine. I just have this weird feeling about those loose Death Eaters. No one knows where they are, they could be anywhere, and I just, I don't know, I have a weird feeling about all of this" she said uncomfortably, wrapping her arms around herself.

Leanne nodded in understanding. "Yeah, me too, though hopefully they catch them soon. We don't need them to cause havoc in anyone's lives, especially with the holidays starting next week. Anyways, we shouldn't worry, it will all blow over" she said, going back to her homework.

Rose tried to continue, but her brain wasn't functioning. She stared out the window at the blowing snow, and if she really wasn't going crazy, then she could've sworn she saw a streak of black flash through in the sky.

A/N: Oooooh, cliffy! I'll try to update later today, but if I don't, hopefully it will be sometime this weekend. If anyone has an idea of what might happen, let me know, but I'm still not going to tell you! Sorry, I know, I'm horrible, but it's more suspenseful this way. This story is posted as completed, but it's not, and it can have a few different genres, though I could only choose two. Anyways, enough of the rambling. Read and Review!
