Chapter - 2

Just Another Day

"Rose... Rosie – wake up,'' she heard someone say.

Arrgghh! Who was it disturbing her peaceful sleep? Didn't they know she had spent last night reading till 2 am?

"Oh! Sleeping beauty you are actually living up to your name 'Rose - The sleeping beauty', but right now if you don't wake up you will further live up to your name by getting cursed. Not by some old black fairy but professor Jordan,'' said Alice as she laughed at her own joke.

"What time is it?" Asked Rose in a sleepy voice.

"Seven in the morning,'' replied Alice.

"What? No way!'' said Rose as she jerked from her sleep and was on her feet at the speed of light.

"Relax Rosie. You still have time,'' replied Alice.

"Of course I don't have time its… Six!'' she said as her eyes fell on the clock.

"Alice Longbottom. You are dead. I will kill you,'' she yelled as she chased Alice around the room.

"Sorry but I could not wake you up. I had no other choice,'' replied Alice.

"You cruel, cruel girl,'' said Rose

"Come on princess – you do not mean it.'' said Alice.

"Hey don't call me that!'' Snapped Rose.

"What? Princess? Well! You don't mind when uncle Ron calls you that,'' said Alice.

"He is my daddy and I am his little girl. He can call me anything he wants," said Rose.

"Alright fine. I understand,'' said Alice. "So you are still not mad at me, are you?'' She added after a pause.

"Of course I am,'' said Rose crossing her arms.

"Don't be like this God sister. I am sorry,'' said Alice as she gave Rose her best smile which she normally reserved for Rose's cousin Albus.

"Fine – but just because you mentioned the fact that we are God sisters,'' said Rose.

Both the girls smiled at each other and then Alice threw her arms around Rose, enveloping her in an affectionate hug.

"You know what you mean to me, don't you Rose?'' She asked.

At this Rose found her eyes beginning to water.

Alice had lost her mother at the age of nine. Her dad Neville was a great friend of Rose's parents and respected her mother highly which was not a surprise of course because nearly everyone respected her mother. He had made Hermione Alice's God mother and since then the two girls had become really close. They were no less than sisters - Soul sisters.

"I know Alice – And trust me you mean no less to me,'' replied Rose and both the girls smiled at each other affectionately.

The two girls got dressed and headed down their dormitories to be greeted by Albus, Rose's cousin and other best friend.

"Hey Al! What 's up?'' Said Rose.

"Hi Albus!'' Greeted Alice as she blushed.

Rose rolled her eyes. The girl could not be more obvious.

"Well! I am great. Rose have you completed…" He started but then suddenly stopped.

Rose turned to see Jasmine Finnigan standing and smiling at him from a distance. Oh! So she was his crush for the week. She turned back to see Alice who looked rather glum but smiled weakly. That boy was a complete idiot. He was the only one who could not see what was so obvious to everyone else. He kept chasing after the most attractive girls at school and every time he did that Rose knew how much it hurt Alice. The girl had been in love with him since forever. But every time he did that she hid her feelings behind fake smiles. Rose actually did not understand how a sweet, fragile, shy girl like Alice could be so strong internally, but then she was Alice. The girl had been through a lot in life but never showed a sign of weakness and Rose respected her for that.

The three students walked towards the Great Hall where Rose suddenly said "Oh Merlin! I forgot to put my charms essay in my bag.''

"Do you want me to come with you?'' Asked Alice.

"No it's fine – You guys carry on. I will see you in a minute,'' said Rose as she rushed towards her room.

She was heading towards the Gryffindor tower when she passed the 'infamous girls bathroom' and heard the most peculiar sound ever. It sounded like a laugh and to be more precise Myrtle's laugh but the problem was Myrtle never laughed. She was Moaning Myrtle for God's sake! So this laughter out of her bathroom increased Rose's curiosity level and she opened the door silently.

Now this was a dream. Yes! She was sure of it because the scene right in front of her could just not be real. In front of her was Moaning Myrtle and she was not alone. Accompanying her was Scorpios Malfoy. Her arch nemesis, the most arrogant and conceited boy in the entire school laughing at some stupid joke.

"Oh! You are so funny Draco,'' said Myrtle as she continued to laugh in her weird way.

Draco? This was his father's name, wasn't it?

"Spying on us you rude girl?'' She suddenly heard someone say. She was jerked from her thoughts and was not at all surprised to see both Myrtle and Scorpius glaring at her.

"So now you have also become nosy Weasley?'' said Scorpius.

"I – I came here to use the bathroom and besides this is a girls toilet. What are you doing here?'' Accused Rose.

"Shut up Girl. This is MY bathroom and I want Draco to be here,'' said Myrtle angrily.

"His name is not Draco," Rose shouted back.

"Out Weasley" said Scorpius "Now."

"NO – You can't boss me around and besides it is you who is breaking the rules and I happen to be a prefect,'' said Rose.

"In case you have forgotten I happen to be a prefect too," replied Scorpius in his cold voice.

"A prefect who does not deserve his badge.'' said Rose in an equally cold voice.

"Of course! Only Weasleys and Potters deserve all the fame. You people actually amaze me with your ego," he said, his face now becoming an unpleasant shade of red.

"This is enough. I am going to report this matter to the headmistress," said Rose as she started to make her way out of the bathroom but then someone grabbed her wrist and roughly pulled her towards himself and she found herself face to face with Scorpius Malfoy.

"Not so fast Weasley,'' he said.

"Leave me you idiot,'' shouted Rose as she tried to free herself from his grasp but he was too strong for her. Damn his Quidditch muscles!

"Now listen. If anything you saw here today is taken out of this room, your life will become a living hell,'' said Scorpius in a low dangerous voice.

"I am not scared of you Malfoy. Your empty threats are useless,'' shouted Rose.

"Oh really? Don't say I did not warn you or go to that redhead bunch of yours asking them to protect you,'' he said.

"I don't need their protection,'' shouted Rose, "I am capable enough to defend myself.''

"I repeat. Not a word out of this room,'' said Scorpius as he walked away leaving a completely bewildered Rose behind.

"Jerk" she muttered to herself.

"Don't call Draco that,'' she heard Myrtle say.

Oh! So this idiot was still here. She had actually forgotten that few minutes ago. She saw Myrtle emerging from behind the sinks.

"Really? Then why didn't you defend your precious Draco instead of hiding behind the sinks?" Said Rose crossing her arms. "And by the way his name is not Draco'' she added as she marched out of the room too late to notice the death glare Myrtle shot at her.
