I don't own Harry Potter just my Oc.
Chapter 9
Rose was having breakfast in her place. Hoping that Hermione would respond to her letter. After waiting she saw two owls perched on her window one with a letter from Hermione and another a package with her name but no return address. Rose immediately opened Hermione's letter first.
Dear Rose,
You liking Snape? From the way that you wrote in your letter it sounds that your body is attracted to him. I don't think it's a bad think to like someone like that, don't be scared about these feelings(even if you think it might not work out.) just keep doing what you're doing talk to him and such who knows he might feel the same.
After Rose finished reading the letter it sounded like good advice to her. Rose always goes to Hermione for advice where is about Magic or anything at all. Rose reached towards the second letter there was no name anywhere.
"Is it him?" Rose said she looked at the note. "No, name again? Just who are you?"
Rose peeled open the envelope. Recognized the same delicate handwriting from the letter that came with her dress.
My Rose,
So, I heard that you like my last gift. I just want you to know how much joy that brings me. I had a feeling that you would like that dress, i was afraid that it wasn't your size but I'm happy that it fits you and it was my pleasure to provide it for you.
A Lovely woman like yourself deserves to be happy once and a while. You especially deserve it more than anyone else. Here is another token of how I feel about you. I hope it suits you I thought it would look lovely on you.
Rose held her breath and a small blush formed in her cheeks. It really was sweet But Rose still didn't know how to handle it, she never had anyone send her things like this before or say anything like that. She had been so focused on work and trying to move on in her life. That she almost forgot about this secret admirer of hers. She opened the small box and her eyes widen at the gift.
"Hm, I wonder when Rose is coming?' Luna asked
"Maybe she's running a bit late." Hermione said
The two girls were waiting for Rose, to have lunch.
"What did she want to talk about?" Luna asked
"Well in her owl she said that she might have feelings for-" Hermione stopped when she looked at Rose headed towards the table.
She was wearing a simple red sundress with a small belt, and black flats. It was a dress that she and Luna picked out for Rose but they saw something different she wore a silver rose brooch. Something that they haven't seen before.
"Hi."Rose said smiling at her friends.
"Hi Rose, that looks so pretty."Luna said looking at the accessory.
"It is pretty."Hermione said
"Thanks...it's from my admirer.."Rose said with a faint blush.
"It looks like he's really likes you." Luna said "Did he showed himself?"
"No...I want to know who he is, to thank him again." Rose said "But I feel bad that he keeps sending me such sweet gifts."
Rose sighed softly. She loved both the dress and the brooch, but she wanted to know who's this admirer is to ask him why? Why her? sitting at the back of her mind, she wondered why is he doing this? What are his intentions?
"I don't think you should feel bad, a boy likes you."Luna said
"I know...but.."Rose started
"Stop that!" Hermione said "Rose, Somebody obviously cares about you, and he wants to show that to you."
"I guess you're right."Rose mumbled
"The way that he writes in the letter, it's like he's a mature man possibly our age or a bit older."Hermione said
"But why does he had to be so secretive?" Rose asked
"Maybe he's just shy." Luna said in a dreamy like voice. "He's probably nervous to talk you, so he's showing his fancy in another way."
"It's a funny way of showing it." Hermione said raising an eye brow . "I saw that brooch on witch weekly and it's not cheap."
"What?" Rose said lightly touching the brooch.
"It cost a bit of gold, probably at least ten galleons." Hermione said
"It is a nice gesture, and I do appreciate it. I just don't know how I really feel about this. I never had anyone send me gifts before." Rose admitted playing with her hair a bit nervously.
"Does it make you feel special?" Luna asked in a soft voice.
Rose's gaze fell to the floor, color creeping into her cheeks. "Yeah, a lot..."
"How about this, I'll ask the others about this if they know anything." Hermione said
Rose nodded hopefully she'll find out who is her admirer, and then what? She does want to know who this person is. But she started to like Severus, she didn't know what to do in this type of situation.
For weeks they continued to interact with formality. Neither wanted to ruin the friendship they formed. Rose was comfortable being with Severus talking about anything they could thing of.
Until Severus finally took the courage and suggested they meet once a week for a casual dinner or a drink, whatever fit into their schedule at the moment. She was surprised at this so she said yes. The last thing she wanted to do was make him unhappy or worse push him away from her entirely.
"I don't know what to wear..." Rose said looking in the mirror in her bedroom with Hermione, Ginny and Luna.
"I think you should wear something that makes you feel comfortable." Ginny said looking in Rose's closet. "You don't have a lot of clothes."
"Well...most of my old clothes got ruined." Rose said
"Oh this looks cute!" Luna said taking out the clothing.
"I think you would look nice in that dress." Hermione agreed. "You might get his attention."
Rose looked at the dress a small smile spread in her lips and nodded. "I hope...I can't wait to see him tonight."
