Okay, here's the next chapter! please review and let me know what you think so far.
"Rose." No response"
Rose, it's time to wake up." Still no response
"Rose!" A groan was heard in reply.
"Rosie Posie, wake up this instant!" a frustrated Jessica yelled the next morning.
"Oh let's just go, we can write a note or something," said an impatient Scarlett.
"You know as well as I do that we can't leave her. Slytherin's stick together! Plus we have to give her the welcome to Slytherin speech that the prefects were to lazy to give to the first years. They probably figured we all knew it by now, being all our parents were in this house. But Rose is a Weasley. She doesn't know any of the house rules and such." explained Jessica.
"Well hurry then. I'm hungry and the boys will be waiting for us." said Scarlett, rolling her eyes.
"Merlin you two are loud in the morning!" complained Rose as she sat up. "And Rosie Posie? Really?"
"You're up!" cried Jessica. "Now go and get ready. We don't have much time and the boys are waiting."
"But....but" Rose started, but was unable to finish her statement as Scarlett had pushed her into the shower.
"No time for talking we have things to do. Now since you obviously heard us talking before, we will start with our speech." At this point Jessica cut in. "Welcome to Slytherin! It is by far the best house in Hogwarts." Rose snorted. "Shut up and let my continue" said Jessica while Scarlett was shaking her head. "Slytherin has had many great wizards in its house, and not all of them were dark. Yes, Slytherin is known for their dark wizards, but that is not what we are. Slytherins are ambitious, cunning, determined, and resourceful and are known for their self preservation. As a Slytherin, for the next 7 years of your life, it is your responsibility to embody these characteristics as well as to stick together with your fellow Slytherins and back them up whenever necessary." Jessica paused and Rose stepped out of the shower.
"That's the speech we were supposed to receive last night?" Rose asked as she dried herself off.
"No that's just the beginning." Said Scarlett and Rose's eyes widened. "We'll skip the boring parts though and just skip to the rules of the house. Basically we can do whatever we want as long as we are sensible about it and don't get caught. Slytherins are underestimated at Hogwarts; people forget how cunning we can be."
"How did you manage to memorize this speech?" Rose asked amazed.
"It's pretty easy when your parents have been giving it to you practically since you were born. I suppose you know the Gryffindor one just as well as we know the Slytherin one?"
Rose nodded
"Come on we can't keep the boys waiting any longer!" said Scarlett.
"Yes, your right. Rose you'll just have to wear your hair wet." Jessica replied.
"We travel in groups?" Rose asked confused.
"Yes, it's part of sticking together with your fellow Slytherin." said Scarlett impatiently.
"Okay I'm ready. I just need my wand." Rose replied. She grabbed her wand and flicked it instantly drying her mass of hair. "There all done"
The other two girls looked at her like she was crazy. "You can do magic?"
Rose blushed, "well not much just this spell and a few others, you know to help make the morning routine go quicker. My mom taught me that spell because my hair takes so long to dry, otherwise I'd have wet hair in class. That just isn't practical in a cold castle"
"Lucky, our parents refused to teach us any magic before Hogwarts." complained Scarlett and Jessica.
The three girls made there way down to the common room where the boys were waiting, "Finally, were starving!" said Sterling.
"Rose here took her time this morning, sorry to keep you from your food." Jessica said rolling her eyes, "I know how important it is to you."
"Did you give her the talk?"
"Of course we did, do you think were stupid?" Jessica said shaking her head. "Let's go I'm starving."
The group of six made there way to the great hall and sat down to breakfast. Rose was surprised that the group had very good table manners, even the boys. After hearing for the past 10 minutes how hungry everyone was, she expected them wolf down their food like many of her cousins ate. She supposed it was the pureblood etiquette that prevented such behavior. Conversation between the group drifted and soon owls were swooping in bringing mail to students. As Rose saw a familiar owl, she gasped. How could she have forgotten to tell her parents the news of her house placement? In all the excitement she had completely forgotten. She knew her father had been joking when he said he would disown her if she was a Slytherin, but what would he think now? Rose saw the family owl fly towards her and she wondered how her parents could even know. One look to the Gryffindor house was all it took. One of her many cousins, must have written either their parents or her own. None of her cousins seemed to be too pleased with her house and Rose suspected they had something to do with the letter flying towards her.
The owl landed and Rose removed the letter surprised to see it was not a howler. She took a deep breath and opened it.
Rose,
Are you all right darling? I was quite surprised not to hear form you last night. I understand that you needed time to adjust to your new house but I was shocked to hear the news from your cousins. How could you my sweet little girl end up in Slytherin? I have had to sedate your father to calm him down! He wanted to send you a howler, but I convinced him that a letter would be more appropriate. Rose to say we are shocked is the least! Your father is demanding a re-sort but I have all ready explained to him that is impossible. I want you to know though that if it were possible we would make it happen. I'm sorry to say that as your parents we are disappointed, not in you but in your house. You know how it was for us Rose, your father and I grew up in a time where all Slytherin's were death eaters and getting past those prejudices will be hard. I want you to know that we both still love you very much, but I don't quite know how we're going to look you in the eye when you come home. Your father has refused to speak with you until you get resorted, but don't worry too much about that. I will deal with him. I'm proud of you Rose and I want you to do well in school this year. Don't let the disappointment of your sorting stop you from achieving your goals
Love, your mother
Rose didn't realize it until Jessica asked her what was wrong that she was crying. She simply passed the letter to her to read so she would understand.
"Bloody hell!" Jessica yelled out as she finished the letter.
"I know. She thinks I don't want to be here. That the sorting was some kind of mistake! Well I'll show her! I'll show all my family. I'll be the best Slytherin there ever was even if my dad stops talking to me and my cousins glare at me in the halls. I'll do whatever it takes!" Rose yelled out so loud that people started to stare. Rose was never one to cry over things, she much preferred revenge. "Jess, you can teach me to be the best, right?"
"Of course, if that's what you want." Rose nodded and Jessica continued, "Okay then I'll help you go against your family's beliefs and learn the etiquette of a Slytherin."
It was at this point in her life that Rose Weasley began to change. The sweet perfect daughter of Ron and Hermione was gone and in its place was a girl ready to rebel.
