Ginny while be out of character. I don't think she was shown trufully in the beginning and I don't like that. You would have thought they would have showed her more if she would have been Harry's future wife. In this story she'll consider Rowena like an older sister for her.
Chapter 4
Te night of the summer ball came very fast and currently Rowena was in her room getting ready. She had made her hair go into many curles and had pined it up niecly. She had a light coating of make up but it was the dress she wore that was amazing. It had a corset style top done in beautiful dark purple while the skirt of the dress flaired out slightly. Around her neck was a simple pearl necklace with a beautiful white flower attached to the side. To go with that she wore a pair of silver high heels.
A nock at her door told her that Blaise had arrived at her room. Picking the skirt of her dress up she walked over and opened the door. Standing there looking just as handsome as ever was Blaise. He wore black dress robs and he seemed to be looking at her in wounder.
"Row you look amazing." he whispered making her smile.
"Why thank you, you look amazing as well." She giggle making him smile.
He extended his arm to her and she accepted it before letting him lead her towards the ball room. When they arrived they were instantly greated by their friends and Ginny Weasley.
Ron was dressed in black robs that wern't to fancy but were still very nice. Ginny was dressed in a very beautiful golden dress while her dark red hair was in soft waives. Hermione stood beside them wearing a stunning blue halter style dress while her hair was in soft locks. Daphne was wearing a green one shoulder dress while her black hair was strait. Draco wore black dress robs with a silver trim.
"Row you look great!" Daphne exclaimed making her smile.
"You guys look really great as well."
Rowena instantly hugged each one of them shocking them and herself. Well probably them more then her considering she had been picking up habits from Cassandra and living with the Zabinis had let her open up slightly. Suddenly Ginny clung to her hand making her blink.
"Something wrong Ginny?" She asked.
"I'm not used to being at a party like this." She revealed making Rowena smile.
"Don't worry, this is my second time. What do you say, dance with me?" She asked making the younger girl brighten.
"Yes!" She exclaimed making Rowena smile as she lead the girl onto the dance floor.
After two dances the girls went to the side until Rowena was pulled into a dance by Blaise leaving Ginny alone but not for long as Draco asked her to dance with him.
Finally the group decided to take a break from the dancing and went outside near the gardens. Rowean looked up at the night sky and let a smile form on her lips. Tonight was going really well and she was very happy to see Ginny enjoying herself.
Finally they all found seats, Ginny cuddled to Rowena who didn't seemed to mind. Ini reality she found it pretty cute.
"So this year you start Hogwarts right Ginny?" Rowena asked.
"Yes I am. I can't wait to start it's going to be amazing. Still I wounder what house I'm going to be in. I mean with Ron in Slytherin I don't know were I'll go." Ginny answered.
"Well if you make it to Slytherin you wont have anything to worry about you'll have us by your side. Nobody would dare hurt with us on your side." Draco stated making Ginny giggle.
"Thank you."
"And don't worry even if you're in another house we will still protect you. You're one of the only ones who has accepted Ron that's big for us so you'll always welcome to hang out with us." Daphne stated making Ginny smile.
"Plus you're cute." Rowena whispered making Ginny blush as Rowena taped her noise slightly.
This caused everybody to laugh.
"Hermione did you tell your adoptive parents about what we did during the school year?" Ron asked causing Hermione to sigh and look down.
"I have actually. They wern't happy at all." Hermione whispered causing them all to sigh. "They screamed at me telling me I had no right to do that. Apparently they were very protective or something. My older sister was there and she was even shocked at their outbirst. The last thing I told them was that I don't care what they thought that I wanted to see who I really was and who my blood parents were."
"It's stupid what their doing. I mean they should understant that people who are adopted can be really curious about who their birth parents are. You had the chance to find out and you took it." Draco stated making Hermione smile.
"I guess they don't see it that way." She answered making everybody sigh.
Suddenly the music that had been playing only seconds ago disappeared and the group all looked towards the house. What on earth was wrong?
"Stay here." Blaise whispered as he and Rowena stood. Slowly they walked to the house only to find aurors standing there.
"We are looking for Hermione Granger." One auror stated.
"I am Hermione Granger." Hermione answered as the others walked up behind them.
Everybody turned to Hermione then back to the Aurors. The Aurors looked at each other before approaching them.
"I am very sorry to annonce you the news Miss Granger. We were contacted by the muggle police and it was annonced to us that your parents were killed in a drive by shoouting while out tonight." One auror said causing Hermione to pale.
She would have fallen to the ground if Rowena hadn't caught her.
"What?" She whispered.
"I'm sorry Miss Granger." The Aurors whispered and suddenly Hermione broke into tears and wrapped her arms around Rowena who hugged her trying to confort her. Cassandra and Christopher Zabini ran over and lead the group out of the ball room. Rowena leading them to the music room.
"How did it happen?" Cassandra asked.
"It was a muggle gang I'm afraid. A random hit they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time." One Auror whispered.
"I was...sob...supposed to be with them tonight but I came here instead...sob..." Hermione cried making Rowena and the others pale. "We...we had gotten into a fight...sob...and now...now I could never say sorry!"
"Doing that saved your life Miss Granger. I'm sorry to ask but is there any relatives that would be willing to take you in.
"We will." Came a soft voice causing everybody to turn and stair at the entrance way. There standing looking extremly concern were the Rosalyn Family. Instantly Hermione was in her birthfathers arms as he held her. Rowena looked down at her hands before slowly turned to the keys and started to play a slow mornful song.
Nobody spoke as she played the melody that is until Blaise stood and took his flut. She turned completely to the piano and started to truelly play while Blaise played the flute. For a good five minutes the song carried through the room and when they finished Hermione gave them a watery smile which they returned.
