AN: I'm skipping second year, because it's boring. Here's third year! There will only be one chapter for this, and it's short, but we will get more as they get older. I'm not such a fan of this chapter, but it got my point across. Please review!

THIRD YEAR: NOVEMBER

Today was our very first Hogsmeade visit! We were finally third years, so we could go! I was so excited that I got up for Breakfast early. It turned out that I was not the only one, because at 7:30 on a Saturday the hall was at least half way full.

I strolled over to the Gryffindor table and, seeing that Rose was not there yet, went to sit by our fellow third year Gryffindors.

I sat next to Lydia Holloway, one of Rose's dorm mates, who was currently flirting with Jake Sinclair. They were both muggleborns, and had always had a thing, (although, people tell me this about Rose too…) but neither would admit any feelings. Lydia and Jake were going to Hogsmeade just as friends with some people from other houses, but we guessed they would end up by themselves snogging.

Besides Rose, Lydia, Jake, and I, the rest of our dorm mates were a tight-nit group of friends. Their names are Brooke Thomas, Sofia Finnegan, Henry Creevy, and Cory Wood.

I chatted with them, as well as Rose's family (what can I say? James and Roxy love me!) until I finally saw Rose gracefully walking towards the table.

Rose had really… matured over the summer. She had grown into her teeth, her face became defined, her hair de-frizzed and instead fell in ringlets, and she had gotten curves. I wasn't the only one that noticed. Though she would never realize it, I could see boys' eyes following her as she walked, swaying her hips ever so slightly. She excitedly sat down next to me and told me how great today would be.

That's one thing I'll always love about Rose- she get's so excited about things. She doesn't hold her opinions in and act meek about them. She is happy and proud of it!

As she was babbling on, some fourth year Ravenclaw, apparently names Lance Saunders, walked over to our table. He flirted with Rose, told her how "hot" she was, and asked her to go to Hogsmeade with him.

I don't know why, but I got so angry when he asked Rose to go with him! He wasn't good enough for her! She's beautiful and perfect and no one is good enough! Regardless, he didn't do anything too wrong, but I was still enraged. To my relief, Rose politely turned him down, but I still questioned why I was so angry! A little voice in the back of my head told me that I knew the answer… jealousy?

…

After breakfast, SAAR met up outside of the school, and walked down to Hogsmeade together. After joking about heading to Madame Puddifoots, we settled on Honeydukes. I picked up some sugar quills, chocolate frogs, and licorice wands. Al got the same minus the licorice plus some every flavor beans. Rose just got some chocolate frogs. Alice got fizzing whizbees, chocolate frogs, taffy, pumpkin pasties, toffee, chocolate cauldrons, pixie puffs, and exploding bonbons. I swear, with how much candy that girl eats, I have no idea how she maintains her slim body. Maybe its' the quittich… she plays keeper on the school team. It was surprising that she was good at quittich, considering her dad wasn't and her mom never played. Al plays seeker… like his dad. Hufflepuff actually has a decent quittich team now because of the two of them.

Once we left Honeydukes, we headed over to the Three Broomsticks. We all ordered Butterbeers, and Rose was left slightly – or very - tipsy. As we left for the day, she wrapped her arms around my waist to have me hold her up. I ended up holding her body close to mine as she stumbled back to the castle, and I supported most of her weight.

Back at the castle, we headed to the common room and Alice and Al went back to theirs. After our fun but long day, we stretched out together on the couch and listened to our housemates tell hilarious and certainly exaggerated stories of their day.
