Curiosity Killed the Cat
Prologue
Curiosity
[kyoo r-ee-os-i-tee]
1. The desire to learn or know about anything; inquisitiveness.
2. A strong desire to know or learn something.
I, Rose Weasley, have always been a curious child. And this was always a good thing. Curiosity leads to questions, questions leads to answers, and answers leads to knowledge. After all, "Knowledge is power."
My parents, especially my father, have always taken pride on this "amazing" attribute of mine. Who? What? When? Why? My mother likes answering all those questions while my father prefers the outcome of those questions like that one time I was so curious on how my mother levitated that "box of memories," as she called it (a box of journals she kept all over the years), that I asked Mum, Dad (though I try not to since he gets irritated if I ask too much), Aunt Ginny, and Uncle Harry. Well, let's just say that I was able to levitate things not heavier than I can carry at the age of 8 (of course, with the help of an invented wand that I got for my birthday from Uncle George. It can be used for easy charms and spells and is used for early practice of kids younger than 11).
If I were my daughter, I would have been proud of me. I was only able to learn the levitating charm because the Ministry of Magic banned/confiscated it. I think they felt it was too dangerous to entrust wands to kids.
Stubborn
[ˈstə-bərn]
1. Having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so.
2. Refusing to change your ideas or to stop doing something.
Stubbornness. Now that's one thing. See, I'm pretty stubborn too. I swear I got this from my Mum. Actually, I got both from her. So if a question forms in my head, I'll crawl the depths of hell to get my answer, the answer I accept, the answer I want, the answer I need. I think this is the one my Dad isn't so fond of. It reminds me of the reasons of his bickers with Mum. Both are too stubborn. Anyways, this "Stubbornness" of mine got me into trouble. Troubles, actually. I wouldn't want to go there. Let's just say one situation initiated by my stubbornness led to me in the attic for an hour, James crying, and Al traumatized.
I've always thought these attributes were good things. I mean, what could go wrong? They're quite a pair after all. Now, I'm not so sure, for those led me to a situation where I might meet death earlier than I expected.
Throw a curious Rose, an interesting Scorpius, a neglecting Al, a lovely Mum, a helpful Lily, and an unhelpful Dad (I swear it's his entire fault) and you get friends, drama, Quidditch, school, stress and a dead cat.
I just hope, after all this, it's not me who's gonna be the dead cat.
A/N: Oooh, I liked writing this one. I just hope it was enough to catch your attention, and introduce you to the story. This is my first attempt on a multi-chap Fanfiction so don't expect much. Reviews and criticism are much appreciated.
I would also like to know which house you think Rose will belong: a curious Ravenclaw or a Stubborn Gryffindor.
I won't upload until I get at least 3 answers on the question above.
Review. Favorite. Follow.
