Surprise Waking Call


"Hey, Rose, what do you have there?" Emily, Roses roommate asked, as she paused in getting ready instead looking at the letter in her friends head. The others in the dorm stopped to look too, all with curious faces.

"I-uh," Rose said, looking confused, so Olivia decided to take the trouble's out of her hand by taking the letter out of it.

"Olivia," Leanne said, shaking her head at her friend's actions but all the other's watched the girl curiously as her eyes slid down the paper (Rose still frozen in shock) her eyes getting wider the farther down they went.

"What – what is it?" Kelly asked, finally not able to take the suspense anymore and Olivia looked up, the shock clear on her face.

"It's a love letter – from Malfoy."

A shocked silence echoed around the room as everybody took that in before all the other girls scrambled to take a look at the page.

"No way!" Kelly said before falling into laughter on her bed.

"Stop laughing Kelly, this is serious!" Emily said, the letter now in her hand, as she glanced at Rose who seemed to have come out of her shock slightly and was watching her roommates' reactions.

"Serious – it's so romantic," Leanne said with sigh as she twirled around before collapsing onto her bed. "A forbidden love – ohhhhh, you're so lucky."

"A what?" Olivia asked as she glanced over at Leanne with a raised eyebrow.

"Forbidden love...you know, like Romeo and Juliet that we read in Muggle Studies," Leanne said, leaning up on her elbow as she pushed her light brown hair out of her face. "I mean – her families hate each other, right? Just like in Romeo and Juliet – forbidden love, come on people!"

"Wait a second people," Emily said holding her arms out causing Leanne, Olivia, and Kelly to look over at her. Emily turned to look at Rose who still hadn't said a word and said, "What about you Rose?"

Rose looked up at her as the other three's eyes turned to look at her. Finally she said, "What about me what?"

"Do you have any...loving feelings towards Malfoy?" Emily asked as she passed the letter back over to Rose. Rose's eyes slid down the letter once more before she finally looked back up at her friends.

"I-I don't know," Rose said, a confused look on her face. "I mean – we've only ever argued – and..." She trailed off, looking back down at the letter.

"Well, you've got to at least talk to him," Kelly said and the others nodded.

"Ya, we'll go and see how he reacts when he sees that you go the letter," Olivia said and soon all four girls were dragging Rose out of the dorm, heading to confront the Slytherin boy who had caused all the drama in their dorm.

None would ever have suspected what they met.
