Rogue rolled her eyes. Right in front of her was Pietro and Malfoy. She didn't know what it was they were fighting about but she found it rather amusing to watch.

The two quieted abruptly and looked at her. "What?!" She demanded.

Malfoy was the one to speak. "You don't like Quicky here now do you?"

"It's QuickSilver Malfoy! Get it right or you'll regret it!" Pietro growled.

"Oh really? And what would you do to me? Huh?" Malfoy challenged.

"Let's just say that running into a stone wall at about 80 mph isn't very healthy!"

"Yeah? Well, I'm not going to run into a wall at all!" Malfoy retorted.

Suddenly Pietro was on the other side of Malfoy. Startled, Malfoy jumped and whirled around to face the silver haird boy. "H-how'd you do that?"

Pietro turned to Rogue now. "So, what's the answer to Malfoy's question? But put Malfoy's name where he put mine." Pietro questioned.

Rogue made a face. "O' course Ah don't lihke him!"

Pietro smiled with satisfaction and placed an arm on her shoulders. "That's what I thought."

Rogue was about to reply when someone else came into her vision, grinning toward her. "Remy!" Rogue yelled, breaking from Pietro's grasp, pushing Malfoy aside, and running to the Cajun. He immediately pulled her into a tight hug. She savored the warmth of his chest against her face and the smell of his clothes mingled with cigarettes.

When he pushed her away he took hold of her sheer green over shirt and lifted it to her lips, then lent down and kissed her through the thin material. Rogue leaned into that warm kiss and lifted her arms, linking her fingers behind his neck. (A/N: I got that idea from Lady Trunks. She's a Rietro writer and really good. So… if you like Reitro… lol)

When they broke from the kiss Rogue turned to see a shocked looking Malfoy, and Pietro was scowling with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Who's he? And why'd he cover her lips?" Malfoy asked confused.

"Cuz her skin's deadly to touch." Pietro explained.

"You mean, no one can touch her?" Malfoy exclaimed.

"Not unless you want to end up unconscious on the ground." Pietro replied.

Malfoy snorted. "Then you can have her QuickSilver! I don't want a girl I can't touch!"

Rogue suddenly felt really hurt as Malfoy walked away. She hadn't liked him or anything but it still hurt. Her powers were once again getting in the way of her social life… as they always did.

Remy squeezed her shoulder reassuringly and pulled her tighter to him.

"Wellthisisnofun! Thecompetitionwasthewholepoint!" Pietro said and the next moment he was gone.

Remy let go of her shoulder and stepped away. Everything around her began to dim until everything was so dark all she could see was the red glow of Remy's eyes which seemed distant now.

"Dey're right y'know. It's jus' fun t'see ya hope. Dere is no hope fer you dough homme." Remy said, and although his eyes seemed far away, his voice seemed to be right in her ear, taunting her. "Give up p'tite, y'got no hope! No one wants ya." He said to her, then the two red glows diminished into the darkness and Rogue fell to her knees and buried her head in her hands.

A couple minutes later she heard the heel of boots on pavement walk toward her but she didn't bother to look up. When they stopped in front of her she did look up to see a gloved hand held out to her. She took it and Logan helped her to her feet.

"Come on Stripes." He said in a fatherly tone. He then began to lead her away.

Rogue awoke in a not too wonderful mood. Her dream hadn't been all that pleasant, but at least it had been her own. It had been months since she had last had a dream of her own. She was quite happy she had too, even if it did put her in such a bad mood and was a very unpleasant dream.

She opened her eyes to see a black sky through the boards over the window. She was still in Sirius's hide out. She had fallen asleep on his bed. She couldn't' remember ever falling asleep, but apparently she had.

Rogue shifted onto her back but felt something heavy on her legs, well, not heave for her of course. She looked down to see what it was… something warm.

A large black dog was curled at her feet sleeping soundly. Obviously he (for good reason!) hadn't wanted to sleep on the floor so he had just switched to his dog form and slept at the end of the bed.

"Sirius. Sirius!" Rogue said quietly. "Sirius, Ah need t'get home." Rogue told him, nudging the dog. It stirred and lifted his head. He then stood up and jumped off the bed to switch into his usual form.

"Be careful Rogue." He said.

Rogue got to her feet too. "You too! And don' go around doin' anything stupid lihke y'did this mornin'! At least tell meh first so Ah can warn ya if yo're about t'do somethin' stupid." Rogue said firmly and Sirius rolled his eyes.

"No need to speak to me like a child." He pointed out.

Rogue just snorted and levitated herself up and made her way out of the house. She didn't run into anyone on her way home, and even if anyone would have been there to see her she was probably going too fast.

The dementors were packed more tightly together and as she flew over them she felt weasy and ill. Her eyes had even rolled up into her head ready to faint but she made it past them just in time.

*Crack* Rogue apparated to the bathroom of the institute. She quickly made her way to her room and dropped gratefully onto her bed. She was exhausted! Kitty and her had been exhausted the other morning from sleep deprivation and danger room sessions but she had slept only about three hours since then and only made her more exhausted.

*Beep beep beep beep beep* Rogue's eyes snapped open and she groaned loudly. Her groan was followed by Kitty's as she phased her hand through the clock to stop it.

Reluctantly Kitty got up, rubbing her eyes viscously. "Oh, Rogue! You're already dressed. Like, when did you get up?" Kitty asked. Rogue felt like claiming she was sick but this day had to go as normal as possible. She couldn't risk being linked to the event…again.

Kitty left the room and Rogue couldn't bring herself to get back up. When Kitty came back though she was dressed and had her bag. "Rogue! Get up! We'll have to leave in about five minutes if you want to be there on time."

Groggily, she got up, washed her face, redid her make-up, and then brushed her hair. She didn't like the idea of wearing the same uniform two days in a row but she didn't have time to change.

Both mutants apparated to Hogsmeade and Rogue carried Kitty to school so she wouldn't have to go past the dementors.

At school everyone was talking about what happened that morning. When Kurt came to Kitty and Rogue, Kitty stood wide-eyed with her lips parted, surprised at his story. "Ja! It's pretty freaky!"

Ron got a lot of attention that day. He told the story of last night over and over again. Rogue wished she could tell Sirius's story, but no one would have believed her.

During lunch Rogue sat alone at the end of Ravenclaw table, her head resting in her arms in a fleeting attempt to get some sleep.

Suddenly her sixth sense prickled as she looked up to meet intense blue eyes. Rogue groaned. "What do ya want Pietro? Ah'm not in the mood." Rogue begged.

"What.were.you.doing.last.night.that's.made.you.so.tired?" Pietro asked keeping eye contact.

"Ah'm not tired, just not hungray." Rogue lied.

"Yeah sure I'm.not.buying.that.for.a.second." Pietro replied unbelievingly. 

"Then don't." Rogue growled, not in the mood to fight with him.

Pietro chuckled-one that surprised Rogue. She couldn't interpret it, but it certainly wasn't what she was expecting. She wanted to ignore him and try to sleep again but she couldn't pry her eyes away from his. Piercing blue eyes stared into bright green for a couple silent seconds before Malfoy decided to join them.

"It's too bad he didn't just kill him." Malfoy scowled, sitting down next to Rogue.

"What?" Rogue asked, still not prying her eyes away from Pietro's.

"Black! He was in Gryffindor tower and he didn't kill Potter! Nor Weasley." Malfoy said in disappointment.

Rogue rolled her eyes and looked at the annoying blonde boy.

"Get a life Malfoy!" Pietro growled upset at the interruption.

Malfoy glared at him. "What are you doing here? QuickSilver!" Malfoy demanded.

Pietro lifted an eyebrow. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Talking to my little Rogue." Malfoy replied with a smirk as he put an arm around Rogue's waist.

Rogue growled menacingly at him, sounding a lot like Logan. "Ah'm not yours, Ah'm not little, and don't touch meh!" Rogue growled, easily pushing Malfoy's arm away.

"Okay, okay, sorry." Malfoy said, but he was still smirking.

Rogue was not in the mood and she turned her body so she was completely facing him. "Wihpe that smirk off yo face befo' Ah do!" She growled.

Malfoy frowned and stood up. He had not forgotten the bruise she had given him early in the year. He huffed slightly then walked away, his nose in the air.

When Rogue turned Pietro was still there, only this time he was smirking.

"Yo're still here?" Rogue asked.

"You know you're happy I am." He said cockily.

Rogue groaned and dropped her head onto the table.

There was a slight breeze and Pietro was sitting next to her. He put a hand on her shoulder. When Rogue looked up Pietro smiled at her and then was gone.

Rogue blinked. What was that all about? She asked herself before shrugging it off and once again resting her head in her arms.

Security around the castle was tight. Especially for Harry's group of friends. There was always a teacher leading them to their classes. They'd make up cheesy excuses to walk with them. Rogue found this annoying and apologetically stopped walking with them. She couldn't handle much that day.

She fell asleep in Potions and lost Ravenclaw thirty points. She knew Snape was suspicious of her. She could not only see it in his eyes, but she still had his psyche in her head.

She also fell asleep in Defense Against the Dark Arts but Lupin let her. She decided that she liked him then. She had been slightly refreshed after the nap. Not enough though as Filch interrupted the class. That's when Lupin woke her up.

"What?" Rouge asked, lifting her head off her desk.

"Filch is here for you." Lupin told her.

"Wha? Why?" Rogue asked.

Lupin shrugged. "Dunno." He then pointed to the creepy guy.

Reluctantly she got up and walked over to the man. "What doya want?" Rogue asked.

Filch grinned, which Rogue knew wasn't good. "Dumbledore wants to see you."
