Rose watched Fred and George stand on their seats and yell, "We got both Potters." She giggled behind her hand. She watched as the rest of the students got sorted into their houses. She looked at Draco who frowned when she got sorted. Rose offered him a small smile and she got a weak one in return.
"Welcome! Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our feast, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you," Albus Dumbledore sat down. Everyone clapped and cheered as food appeared.
"Is he- a bit mad?" Harry asked Percy.
"Mad?" said Percy airily. "He's a genius! Best wizard in the world! But a bit mad, yes. Potatoes, Harry?" A ghost appeared between Rose and Harry and looked sadly at their food.
"That does look good," said the ghost who had ruffles.
"Can't you-?"
"I haven't eaten in nearly four hundred years," Said the ghost. "I don't need to; of course one does miss it. I don't think I've introduced myself? Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington at your service. Resident ghost of Gryffindor tower."
"I know who you are!" a red head that Rose just noticed on the other side of Harry. "My brothers told me about you- Nearly Headless Nick!"
"Nearly Headless? How can you be nearly headless," a sandy haired boy asked.
"Like this," he said irritably before pulling his left ear up. His head swung on to his shoulder as if on a hinge.
"Wicked," Rose grinned at him. Nick gave her a smile at the fact the she didn't seem grossed out like most first years where.
"Hello. How is it that you and I have the same last name yet we have never met," Harry asked when Rose had sat down.
"I'm not sure, I mean we could be family since I was born here," Rose replied. Harry's red head friend that looked a little bit like Fred and George gasped at her accent.
"Where are you from?" They red head asked making Rose giggle. She saw redness creep up his neck into his face and to the tips of his ears.
"America," Rose grinned noticing two red head came to sit on either side of her and Lee in front of her.
"So you and Harry didn't know that you two where related," Fred asked.
"Not at all, but that seems to be a bonus of this school for me," Rose grinned at them.
"Wished we could say the something about Ron here and Percy over there," Fred told her. Rose giggled while loading up her plate with food. She didn't get much as the people around her because she never really ate much and most of the people at the orphanage made fun her saying she had an eating disorder at such a young age.
"So would you like to help as plan a...event tomorrow for dinner," George asked with a grin. She noticed Fred and Lee had the some one on their faces.
"Only if it provides...entertainment for everyone or almost everyone," Rose gave them a grin that matched their own.
"Brilliant. Now we will leave you to get to know your brother more," they left her with Ron and Harry.
"You know my brothers and let you in on their pranks," Ron looked slightly offended by it.
"I met them on the train and made a good impression on them so they let me help with the...entertainment here as long as I approve of it that is," Rose grinned before taking a bit of her chicken.
"Man, I wish I was that lucky! They won't even let me near them when they're working on a project," Ron looked a little rejected.
"I'm sorry. Maybe we can come up with our own once we get a feel for the school," Rose offered him a shy smile.
"Hey, why is Malfoy staring at you," Harry asked when he turned around to look around.
"Maybe because he's my friend," Rose replied with a slight question in her voice.
"How can you be friends with that twat," Ron's voice was slightly angry.
"Well he was rude to begin with but he was nice when he found out my name which was weird but everyone deserves a second chance so I gave him one," Rose replied as she finished the food on her plate.
"You do know we're famous for destroying Voldemort when we were one year old and that how we got the scar on our foreheads," Harry gestured to the scar that was slightly visible from behind her hair. "He also killed both our parents. I was sent to live with our uncle, aunt, and cousin and you were luck and went to America."
"I wasn't lucky when I was sent there. I was there till I was five and after three years the family that adopted me was killed in front of me but I repressed the memory so much that I can't remember it. I was sent back to the orphanage where I only have one friend and everyone else hates me and I get hit when something goes wrong or I ask a question," Rose looked down at her plate.
"I'm sorry. It appears both our lives up to now were horrible," Harry wrapped an arm around his sister. A moment later the table was cleared of everything before deserts appeared on it. Rose and Harry both grinned as the dug into the deserts.
Rose didn't notice the sad look that appears on her friends face across the room when Harry had put an arm around her.
Rose listened to the bushy haired girl-whose name she found out was Hermione go one about lessons. "Rose what class are you looking forward to," Hermione asked when she noticed the Rose was listening.
"Charms and potions. I bought extra books on both of them and finished them rather quick," Rose smiled.
"I doubt you'll like potions after you meet the Professor Snap who is the Potion Master here," replied Percy.
"I've already met him. He's the one that told me about Hogwarts and took me to get my things this year. Now I know why it seemed liked he was about to smile when he saw almost half the books a bought where on potions," Rose replied.
"That was before he found out what- wait he say he almost smiled? Are you sure it wasn't a sneer," Ron asked looking at her. He heard the entire story's about him from his brothers.
"Yes Ron I said smile not sneer did I not?" Rose replied.
"Ouch," Rose and Harrys hands went to their foreheads.
"What is it," Percy looked at the twins in front of him with concern.
"N-nothing." The pain disappeared as quickly as it came.
"Who's the teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?" Harry asked looking up at the teachers.
"That's Professor Snape," Rose replied after looking up at the long table. The desserts disappeared as Professor Dumbledore stood up. The hall fell silent.
"Ahem- just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you.
"First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few older students should do well to remember that as well." His twinkling eyes set on the Weasly twins. Rose turned to them and grinned at them and they were happy to return it.
"I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors.
"Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch.
"And finally, I must tell you that this year; the third corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death."
Rose's mind began to whirl of ways to get in there, with help of course. She didn't hear Harry talking to Percy about it.
"And now, before we go to bed, let us sing the school song!" cried Dumbledore. Dumbledore gave a flick of his wand and a long gold ribbon flew out of it, which rose high above the tables and twisted itself, snakelike, into words. "Everyone pick your favorite tune and off we go."
Everyone finished at different times leaving Rose and the Weasly twins singing a very slow funeral tune. They had told her about this on the train and while Lee refused to sing so slowly Rose had agreed quickly. Dumbledore conducted the last few lines with his wand and when they finished, he was one of the ones that clapped the loudest.
"Ah .music," he said, wiping his eyes. A magic beyond all that we do here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!"
"Rose waved at Draco before running off after Percy. Draco smiled after before turning to follow his prefect.
Percy led them out of the Great Hall and up a marble staircase. She watched as the painting pointed and whispered as they passed by. She looked and noticed that Harry was too tired to notice that Percy was leading them through doorways hidden behind sliding panels and hanging tapestries. They climbed more staircases making Rose yawn and drag her feet with the rest. Rose laid her head on Harry's shoulder when they stopped and Percy yelled at a poltergeist named Peeves. She moved when she felt Harry shift before he started to walk they ended up at the end of the corridor with a portrait of a fat women in an ugly pink silk dress.
"Password?" she asked.
"Caput Draconis," Percy replied before the portrait swung forward revealing a round hole in the wall. They all scrambled over it with a few needing help.
