No one really expected Rose Weasely back in the common room at 1 pm. So the word went around quickly, something must have happened during her date with Elijah. As expected, Rose avoided the speculation and swiftly entered her room. This was the reason why she wanted to keep the relationship as private as possible.
Flopping on her bed was something she rarely ever did but the moment she uttered her password she propelled herself to the bed groaning the day had proven to be too much for her. She could easily take a nap and set an alarm to help Juli at five, or she could finish her potions essay. Being the goody two shoes she was she quickly finished her potions essay and took a two-hour nap before her alarm went off.
From experience, everyone knew it was wise not to interact with Rose until a good thirty minutes of her waking from her slumber. She was her father's daughter after all. Anyone who directly knew Rose knew how she was almost exactly like her father well besides his wild eating habits Hugo gained that trait. Not that she wasn't like her mother in any way if anything she was the spitting image of her with her fathers ginger hair. She had her mothers wit and temper a dangerous combination to say in the least.
It was a little surprising for everyone in the Gryffindor common room to see her in such a good mood once she walked out of her room. Even her cousin Roxanne was a little off put by Rose's cheery demeanor. Not that they were complaining but to see Rose in such a good mood after the morning events was odd.
" Everything alright Rosie" Roxanne whispered fallowing her cousin out of the common room
"Yup" She hummed
Taking a nap had most definitely lifted her spirits. She was beaming and she couldn't really explain why, all she knew was that she had a delightful dream and it had her smiling check to check.
" You sure, I mean after this morning, everyone..." Roxanne began to say
" I'm fine I promise he's going to have to do a lot more than that to break me, Roxie." Rose frowned for a slip second before smiling again
The two girl were often seen together, one could quite possibly say that they were the closets of the group of cousins that paraded the school. It did help they were the same year and in the same house but none the less the two girls were almost even not seen together.
" Rose you know you don't have to act like you ok. Its ok to admit your upset" Roxanne finally spoke once they where on the second floor
" Really I'm fine. He did it to get a rise out of me and he was successful in that, I don't see the reason in giving him any more power over the situation." Rose puffed
" Can we talk about this later I need to tutor Juli" Rose sighed as Roxanne nodded
" I'll see you in the great hall at 7" Roxanna called waving her cousin behind
" You're doing great Jul," Rose said as the two them began to clean their slightly messy area
" Thank you so much, Rose, you've been a big help. Professor Ruben is so proud of me for raise my grade and it's all thanks to you. Rose, you're the best" Juli gushed
" It's no problem at all. I'm so proud of you, you really have improved over the last two months. Before long you won't even need my help. Just keep working on your wand movement alright. You have the concentration down and your essays are getting better and better each time. Thank you for trying your hardest it really does show in your work. Now we better go or we will miss dinner." Rose chimed happily opening the door for her fellow pupil
" Rose how are things with you and Elijah Wood going." The third-year Hufflepuff asked suddenly
" We are alright somethings could be better but we are doing fine." Rose slightly lied
" Oh ok, that's good. I heard this preposterous rumor and I just wanted to make sure you were alright." Juli smiled at the older girl
" It won't be to preposterous for too long " Rose mumbled under her breath
" What," Juli asked
" Oh I said you know how it goes, once someone sees's something a little off they come up with these preposterous ideas and they spread like wildfire."
" I understand last year my brother Owen was dating Holly King and someone saw your cousin Lucy and him studying and someone started this wild rumor that he was cheating on Holly. People have wild imaginations." Juli skipped along
Rose remembered those few weeks last year. Sure it was odd for her cousin to hang out with Owen but they did have similar friends so it wasn't that odd to see two good-looking people study together. Plus they both where the two smartest people of their year. Quit actually Rose remembered Lucy telling her about how he was a great person to run ideas by.
" That they sure do " Rose chuckled
As the two girls entered the great hall everyone stopped speaking for a brief moment before quickly heading back to their conversations. Waving each other goodbye they went to their respected tables. Rose wouldn't lie to herself she had quit secretly had hoped to notice a particular blonde boys hair but be it as it may she had no such luck. She didn't even see her cousins Albus' raven locks at the Slytherin table not that she cared she was still mad at him. Actually, she didn't see the mass flock of her family anywhere well except for Roxanne she had been the only Gryffindor from her family she spotted.
" Rose it's so great of you to join all five of us, " Roxanne said flinging her arms around emphasizing the open space
"Sorry, we went a little over. Where is everyone"
" No idea all I know is that Hugo said he was going to the library, Jame's said he was heading out to the Quidditch pitch with Lucy, Lilly, and Molly. "
" That doesn't explain half the population gone what happened"
" You best not ask that question right now, Head maser still trying to figure out what she's going to do." Reed Witherspoon fellow sixth-year Gryffindor commented
" How was tutoring today" Roxanna swallowed
" Really well before long, she won't need my help"
" Thats great. "
"Um Rose before you get mad. Would you care to explain to me why I saw your boyfriend is holding hands with Skylar Johnson, just one moment ago? " Reed commented looking at the great room doors
"What " Rose raised her voice
"You're seeing things Reed, Eli would never do something like that" Rose said a few moments later
" I would never do what babe" Elijah said sitting down next to his girlfriend
" Nothing, I'm just over people speculating things when its none of there business" Rose huffed " Anywho I got to go find Al and talk to him. I'll see you all later" she said giving her boyfriend a kiss
Normally Rose would not have cared about what Reed had said but with the events that happened in the morning, she really couldn't take another moment of drama. Yet she was walking into a sticky situation all because she wanted to talk to Albus after what transpired the night before. With so much on her mind, she wasn't really paying attention where she was going. So when she found herself on the ground she immediately apologized to the unsuspecting victim.
" I'm so sorry" her quickly picked up the other students papers.
Dearest Scorpius ,
I regret to inform you, your mother has yet again been placed in Saint Mungo's hospital.
Rose quickly read grabbing all of the other papers.
"No, I am I wasn't watching where I was going," Scorpius said giving her a hand up
" Here" Rose handed him his papers looking up at him before falling into a giggle fit
" What happened to your hair," She said gasping between breaths
There Scorpius Malfoy was sporting a lavender purple hair. The sight of it was odd but not that Rose would admit it aloud it actually suited him nicely.
" Albus. Look, Rose, I wanted to say I was sorry about this morning I didn't mean to..." He sighed
" You meant to. At least own up to it." Rose said walking towards the library not even realizing he said her name
" I didn't mean to make you that upset."
" Well you did, not that it matters. Can't you just leave me alone."
" Gosh Weasly I'm trying to apologize here."
" Apology not accepted. And if you're not going to leave me alone, the least you could do for me is is tell me where Albus is; I need to talk to him."
" He's in the Slytherin common room ."
" Thank you" she huffed as the two of them headed that way
Rose had a rough idea how this very moment would go and she was not looking forward to it.
This is where I leave you all for now until next time vmt is out.
