Author's Notes: Thank you guys for the reviews! This is my first time writing anything so I am a bit of an amateur, but I hope I will progress to get better. I'm up for any constructive criticism. Enjoy! :)

Less than a minute later, I was at Hogwarts. Everything looked completely normal, but at they same time it didn't. When the train stopped, I was the only one to get off of it, when I reached the platform I looked around, Hagrid wasn't there to greet the first years either, but… what first years?

I realized I was alone until I saw a shaggy haired Gryffindor get off the train chuckling with a familiar girl. It's him. I smiled instantly.

"Ian!" I shouted, running to him, but no noise came out. He looked my way, but he wasn't looking at me, he was looking right through me. I could feel my heart instantly melt and drop to the pit of my stomach.

"Is there something wrong, honey?" The girl with Ian asked. Honey? Did she just call my boyfriend honey?

"No, I just thought I heard something." He said, straightening himself back to smiles. The girl looked into his eyes, I immediately knew who she was. Her name was Mikaela Stroth. She's been a really good friend of mine since I started Hogwarts, she's also a Gryffindor, a sixth year also as a matter of fact. After Zac, she was the second friend I made, I remember we would sit it the common room for hours after night fall and talk about everything and anything. For years she's had a certain thing for my best friend Scorpius. And in all honesty, I think they'd be very good for each other. I decided it was nothing I needed to worry about. I sat down at the platform, seeing if anyone was yet to leave the train, but no one did. As I watched Ian and Mikaela head for the castle, they eventually left my sight and it started to get light out and the birds started to sing. I heard my stomach rumble, maybe I'll go to Hogsmeade for some butterbeer, maybe I'll even meet up with Albus and Scorpius. I smiled as I stood up and my smile left when I realized something quite odd. Where did the train go? It was just there, and now it's gone. I shook my head and laughed to myself, no of course that didn't happen.

As I headed towards Hogsmeade, it was as if it was a ghost town, literally. I felt goosebumps on my arms, and as I breathed steadily I could see my breath in the air. I walked into The Three Broomsticks and no one was there. But there was an upside to that. I smiled evil like to myself and hopped over the counter grabbing two mugs and pouring butterbeer into both of them. I proceeded to take a seat by the nearest window and I started drinking, just staring into space. As soon as I finished one, I saw two people, a couple, walking toward the Forbidden Forest. Maybe I know them! I thought to myself. I grabbed the second butterbeer and followed them. When I couldn't find them anymore, I was thinking of leaving, then I heard someone, it sounded like a deep moan. I jogged toward the noise, hiding behind a tree and I peeked my head out.

It was them. He was rubbing himself all over her, making out with each other. Ian and Mikaela. He continued to hump her, and you could easily tell she was sobbing through the middle of her jeans. I didn't care wether they heard me or not, I started balling my eyes out hysterically, I couldn't help but cry!

"Rose!" I heard a familiar voice say, "Rosie, wake up." I felt someone wipe my tears away and brush my hair with their fingertips while keeping me in a tight embrace. I slowly opened my eyes and I saw three boys standing over me. It was them, Zac, Scorpius, and Albus. I perked up, sitting straight forward and looking around me. We were still in the train, still moving, and everyone was in their robes, except for the one embracing me… Zac!

"Rosie, what happened?" Zac asked. I shook my head and began to cry again. I looked Zac straight in the eyes and threw myself at him, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck, and leaning my head against his. I think he felt strange because he hesitated for a few seconds but returned the hug. He was brushing my hair with his fingertips. He whispered into my ear, "Tell me during after the feast, okay?" I nodded my head, crying even harder. He shushed me. I felt a weird reaction, I felt so…. comfortable in his arms.

The rest of the way to Hogwarts I felt a little better, the crying stopped. The boys and I talked about what we want to achieve this year. And the boys talked about all of the attractive girls. In all of this happening, I realized that I was holding Zac's hand. But it felt right.

"Hey, Zac?" I whispered quietly.

"Yes?" He smiled politely.

"What was that thing you were going to tell me?" I asked, looking down at our intertwined hands.

"Maybe some other time.." He replied, tightening his grasp slightly. When we reached Hogwarts, we all left the train and headed towards Hogwarts. When we entered the enormous castle we made our way for the Great Hall and took our seats the house tables. I sat next to Zac, it was quite quiet until he noticed I was staring at Mikaela.

"Rosie, what's wrong?" he asked

"It's nothing." I replied quietly.

"But Rose, you aren't eating anything, you always eat. You look furious and scared, and ever since the train ride you've been acting different!" He was nearly shouting and tears started welling up in my eyes. He sighed deeply.

"I'm just not hungry…" I hesitated. I stood up, feeling tears run down my face again, running out of the Great Hall. I continued running until I made it outside, I slipped under my favorite tree, sitting underneath it, I hugged my leg wrapping my arms around them and leaning my head on my knees. Again, crying my eyes out.

Like I expected, Zac eventually found me and lay on the ground next to me, staring at the stars. "You know, you still haven't told me what happened on the train…" he paused. I stayed silent for many minutes, and we just sat there, me staring at him and him staring at the stars. I wiped the tears from my eyes and inhaled.

"When I was a little girl-" As I spoke my first words he shot his eyes my way, and never blinked. I gulped and repeated, "When I was a little girl, I always had a love-hate relationship with being the child of two-thirds of the golden trio," I said staring straight ahead of me. "as I grew up, everybody expected me to be this perfect goddess, the girl who would save everyone from their disasters, and the one who's brave and afraid of nothing. But I'm not that girl! I'm fragile, and I'm shy, and quiet, and frankly, I'm scared!" I shouted. He just stared at me, as if he knew I wasn't finished speaking. "Zac… have you ever been so afraid to lose the one person you love the most?" I asked. He scooted closer to me, sat up, and put his arm around me.

He nodded. I lay my head on his chest. "He was kissing Mikaela…" I said sighing. He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear, continuing to listen. "I know, I'm being so stupid over a silly little dream, but it felt so real, Zac!"

"I know, Rosie, I know." He replied quietly, brushing my hair with his fingertips. "You're not stupid, okay? You're smart, and beautiful, and there's just some things that aren't meant to be."

I sat up staring at him, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing," He claimed.

"No, tell me. What are you thinking?"

"Rose, I'm thinking he's a git" I wasn't so shocked for someone to say that, but for Zac, it hurt sort of. "Rosie, I remember when he was a helpless little boy, you liked him because he wasn't fed up with himself, he was nice, funny, shy, and overall a really good guy. In you guys' fourth year you started dating, and he hadn't changed. But when he became a beater for Gryffindor, it got to his head along with your relationship. He's not that innocent guy everyone used to know. He's gotten himself out there and he realized that if he could somehow get with you, that he could get with any other girl also. He doesn't deserve you, Rose." All I could do was stare at him in shock. I couldn't believe him! I stood up and slapped him, then began to run back into Hogwarts, I had tears running down my face so much that I couldn't even see. And I ended up literally running into the one person I didn't want to see, Ian.

"Hey, Rosie," he said angrily, grabbing my wrists tightly. I gasped at how he was acting. "I missed you at dinner, so did Albus and Scorpius, but apparently not Zac. You were all cuddly with him, weren't you, Rose?" He shouted.

"Ian, you don't understand!" I said, "He's only my friend, I love you, I-" He slapped me and turned around, stomping away from me. I saw Zac peeking around from behind the tree, giving me the 'I told you so" look. I ran to the Gryffindor common room, and up to the bedroom. I eventually fell asleep, crying quietly and thinking about everything.

Maybe Zac was right.
