Every Flame starts with a spark. So does all evil. And when you stand up to evil you truly are Dancing with Fire. - Adriane Star
Chapter 2
Confused Thoughts and Casablanca Lily's
I admit I was so suspicious at how and why Elsa's name was drawn. I know she wouldn't cheat, so how did her name get drawn? The last time there were four people in the Tri-Wizard tournament, Lord Voldemort rose. What if it's happening again?
I was broke from my train-of-thought, when I crashed into someone
"Watch it Weasley!"
It just had to be Malfoy...
"Sorry" I said he raised his eyebrow in confusion. Normally I would yell back and start a huge argument; but now I am in such weird state with all this crap on my mind, I just didn't feel like it right now
"Whatever" he said walking away
I let out a sigh
"What's up with you?" Elsa asked as she began to walk in tune with me "You usually jump at the chance to argue with Malfoy"
"I have a lot on my mind right now" I said
"Like how many bouquets of roses are on your bed at this very moment?" she said
"What?"
"I counted ten bouquets of roses, five from Durmstrang students, two from Hufflepuff's, one from Ravenclaw, and two from Gryffindor" Elsa said
"Well none of them are right" I said "Roses aren't even close"
"Really?" she asked
"Do you really think my favorite flower would be my namesake?"
"Actually no"
"Exactly"
"What is your favorite flower anyway?"
"I'll tell you after the Yule Ball"
"Why?"
"Because you'll tell someone and then I'll have to go with them"
"Fine" she said "Shesh"
"Sorry Els"
"So did you figure why you smelled peppermint in the Amortentia?"
"No I haven't"
"Well you have another thing to think about"
"Shut it"
We both walked into Transfiguration class and sat in our usual spot in the front of the class
The rest of the class filed in and Professor McGonagall walked in
For once I was dosed off during class. The bell rang and Elsa and I walked to lunch
"You know what Els" I said "I think I'm going to go visit Hagrid"
"Why?"
"It helps me think" I said "Plus I'm not that hungry"
"Alright" she said "I'll smuggle you something for later"
"Thanks" I said
I walked to the small shack behind the castle, the house of the Gamekeeper
I knocked on the door and the Gamekeeper, and old family friend, opened the door
"Rose, shouldn't ye be eaten lunch?"
"I'm not hungry" I said "plus I just really need someone to talk to"
"Come on in" he said
I sat in a chair that was ten times too big with Fang's head in my lap
"What be ye problem?"
"I have a bad feeling about the Tri-Wizard Tournament" I said "The last time there was four Champions Lord- You-know-who rose"
I never used the Dark Lords name in front of Hagrid; it some times scared him
"Yer over reactin' Rosie"
"I know but I just can't help but thinking about it"
"Wha' ye should do is talk to ye mum, dad, and uncle Harry" he said "they'll help ya"
"Thanks Hagrid" I said
He gave me a hug before I left and headed back to the castle
I went to my last class of the day Divination; why I decided to take that class is beyond me
I climbed the ladder into Professor Trelawney classroom
'She uses way too much incense' I thought as the smell of her classroom filled my nose
"Good day Mrs. Weasley" she said as I passed taking my seat
I sat with Ebanora Jacobs a Slytherin fifth year. She's pretty nice, we talk a little sometimes; but I wouldn't call us friends necessarily
"Hey Rose" she said her blonde corkscrew curls bounced on her shoulders
"Hey Ebanora" I said
"You looking forward to the Hogsmead Trip this weekend?"
"Yeah I really want some candy from Honeydukes"
"Me too" she said flashing a smile
Boy was the class extremely boring; Professor Trelawney said I "didn't have the sight"
After class I went up to my room, and Elsa was right there were ten bouquets of roses on my bed
"Shesh" I said throwing them in the fireplace
"Someone doesn't like roses?" Elsa said as she walked in
"Well there are way too many" I said
"I can see" she said "Now we have a sweet smelling fire going"
"Yeah" I said taking out new parchment, I wrote two of the same letter
Dear Mum, Dad, and Uncle Harry
Elsa became the fourth Champion of the Tri-Wizard Tournament. I'm worried that something bad is going to happen. The reason is, the last time there were four Champions the Dark Lord rose. I scared please send me some advice.
Love Rosie
I gave my letters to my owl. As it flew off I sighed
"I'm going to the Library" I said
I walked through the library. I picked up my favorite book, it wasn't about magic or spells or potions. It was a muggle fairytale known as Peter Pan
I opened the book and gently smelled it. Most people think that's weird but to me it's the best perfume there is; especially when it's an older book
I asked if I could barrow the book from the Library and began to walk down the hallways of the school
I ran into someone… again
"What's with you today Weasley?"
Malfoy… Again
"I actually have no idea" I said picking up my book that I dropped
"Peter Pan?" he said looking at the cover of my book
"Yeah it's a really good Muggle fairytale"
"I know I've read it"
"You have?" I said in shock
"Yeah you seem surprised"
"Sorry, you just didn't seem to be the type to like Muggle stories"
"Yeah I guess not"
"It's actually my favorite book"
"Same here"
"Huh?" I said he raised his eyebrow "Sorry, really didn't expect that"
"It's ok" he said "I'm guessing you had a lot on your mind today"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"You weren't at lunch" he said "Al was kind of worried"
"Tell him I was at Hagrid's" I said "If you don't mind"
"It's no problem"
"Thanks Malfoy"
"See ya Weasley"
I walked back to the common room
"Hey, Rose you got a new bouquet" Elsa said
"More roses?"
"Come check it out" she said
I followed her upstairs and on my bed was a bouquet of Casablanca Lily's
"No way" I said picking them up, I gently touched the off white, black-brown spotted petals
"What?" Elsa said "Did they get it right?"
"Yeah actually" I said "Casablanca Lily's are my favorite"
"Who's it from?"
I picked up the card. I didn't recognize the fancy cursive handwriting
I hope you like these. Meet me out side of the History of Magic classroom for the Yule Ball. See you then.
"It doesn't say" I said
"What does it say?"
"I hope you like these. Meet me outside of the History of Magic Classroom for the Yule Ball. See you then." I said "Do you recognize the handwriting?"
I handed her the card
"Nope" she said
I took a rock out of my trunk and turned it into a vase. I filled the vase with water and arranged the flowers in it
"You really like those don't you?"
"Yeah as I said they are my favorite flower"
"Well are you ready for the first task next week?"
"All I can say is don't kill your self"
"Real supportive"
"Yep" I said crawling into bed, the last thing on my mind wasn't my suspicion from earlier today… It was on who sent the flowers, and how did they know what my favorite flower was
TA-DA i'm done
