'Who are you?!'
Rose who was stirring in her sleep seconds ago,woke up with a sight jolt,'Quelle,Mam-(What?Mam-)'but she was cut off by a pair of blue eyes which was gaping at her in blinked as the memory she had experience last night floated back to her,'Où suis-je?(Where am I?)'
After what seemed like years,the teen snapped his hand across his face and yelled,'Mum,there is a stranger in this room!'
'What?'a female voice called back as footsteps were heard running hurriedly down from the hall up to the doorway,'Is little Ronnkins was just afraid of getting bit by spiders?'a voice teased distantly.
'Shut up!'the boy shouted once again as the owner of the doorsteps appeared next to him,'Language, you too,Fred.'she glanced about the room,'There aren-'She wiped out a stick and pointed to Rose,'Who are you?'
Ron nodded,following her mum,'Yes,who are you?Or do you understand English?'
Rose felt that they were threatening her,'I do understand English,I just know how to speak in French.I think it's quite rude to threaten people,is it?'Rose spat,'Oh,FYI,I'm Rose Agreste-Miller.'
'Oh,sorry dear,I'm just think you are one of the Death Eaters in the way,what is FYI?'asked the women lowering her stick as the boy did the same.
'For your information,'Rose replied,still not trusting the woman,'where am I?'
'Number 12,Grimmald Place,London.'Ron responded,reciting what he read earlier.
'London,how come I'm here?I was supposed to be in my room in Paris!'Rose wondered out loud,failing to notice that the pair was looking at her expectantly.
'Oh,it's not uncommon for these things to happen in the wizarding world,'Ron grinned,'I'm Ron Weasley,and this is my mum,Molly Weasley.'He gestured to his mother.
'Wizarding world?What is that?'
Molly waved,'Hi dear,welcome to London,'she pretended to search through the room,'Where are your parents?'
Rose gulped,ignoring the question in her mind,her parents were not here,they were still in their room in Paris,sleeping,'What can I say?' Besides,her actual parents were dead when she was a kid already,at this thought she bit her lips as pained swept through her features,she decided to make up an excuse,'I'm sorry, ,but my parents were killed by a bulgar,who broke into the house last night.'she stiffed,and wiped her fake tears away,actually,she could feel tears were beginning to burn behind her eyes,she missed her Maman and dad a lot even it was just for a few minutes.
'Oh,dear,I'm so sorry,' apologised again,'you could stay if you like.'
Rose's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets,she suppressed the urge to shout,'Really?'instead,she fixed her face into an ashamed expression,'Oh,no,it's alrigh-'
'No,no,no,it's okay.'Ron nodded along his mum.
Rose considered it,she had no money in her pockets and it would be silly to turn down the offer,but she hated it when she became really selfish just to think of herself not hesitated before nodding her head,'Alright then,thanks by the way.'she flashed them a smile(which made Ron blush furiously).
Molly clapped her hands together,'I can cook bacons and pancakes for you need anything,just call for me.'she pulled Ron out of the way before closing the door gently,not giving a moment for Rose to reject.
Rose sighed,'How can I get out of this situation?!'she climbed out of her bed and opened the door next to her bed but she halted and groaned as she remembered that her toothbrush and toothpaste were
back at home,she slammed the door shut and was on an edge to steal hundreds of toothbrushes and toothpaste in the supermarket,she turned but slipped into the floor and swore painfully before standing up and found that she was supporting her weight to a trunk.A trunk!she flung open it desperately and to her surprise,she found her clothes and jeans underneath a toothbrush,a toothpaste,a shampoo and a soap,all of it were belonged to her.
'Thanks God.'she thought thankfully,and got on to dress.
After finishing,she ran out to the hallway after opening the door and slowed down when she noticed a brunch of people was ahead of her,who introduced themselves when they noticed her,claiming that Molly had informed them about ,Hermione Granger,Sirius Black.
'Wow,Is magic real?'she opened her mouth in amazement when she saw Sirius using a stick to support a plate while talking to Hermione who was playing a chess which could move with was almost half-assured that she was in future,though there were nothing siting above of their heads,no robots,instead there were a fifthly house-elf who,was wearing a red carpet around its body.
As she approached the kitchen,she was pushed to one of the chairs by ,her stomach immediately growled as she caught sight of the delicious pancakes and bacon in front of her,she grabbed the fork beside it and dug in without asking or thinking that if it was eating pancakes and bacons, handed her a letter.
She raised her eyebrows,thinking that was from her parents as she opened it without looking anything and took out the paper from unfolded it and scanned through the letter,looking for hints of picking her up.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
Headmaster:Albus Dumbledore(Order of Merlin,First Class,Great Sorc., ,Supreme Mugwump,International Wizards)
Agreste-Miller,
We are delighted to tell you that you are enrolled in our list of magical ,we do apologise for being late to send an inviter to you.
You,unlike others who are their first year to attend Hogwarts,will be in your fifth year.
We await your owl by no later than 31st July.

Deputy Headmistress.
Rose's eyebrows were raised higher and higher as she read the paper for once,twice,thrice,four times,then finally five times,just to check if she had missed ,lots of questions were exploding in her mind like ,she looked up and asked,' ?'
Molly hummed,'Dear?'
'Does magic exist?'Rose asked simply,since she needed confirmation.
Molly said patiently,'Yes.'then as if she had asked for proof,she waved her stick and the plate in front of Rose floated across the kitchen and into the sink,adding into the pile of dishes inside it.
Rose gaped,'What?!',but she wasn't dumb to ask Molly one more time,instead she decided to move on to another question,'And this school accepted me without me handing out application?'
Molly nodded,'Though you have to send a letter back and you have to buy a wand,textbooks and other equipments that you have to use at Hogwarts.'
Rose nodded absent-mindedly and continued to gawk at the women in front of her until Molly beamed,'You are a witch,Rose!'
A witch!'Those evil witches who stir potions in a dungeon?'Rose stuttered unbelievably.
'Of course not,dear,those who do fly on a broomstick,but use magic by transferring it into a wand,'she raised her stick,'but some of the more powerful ones can use it just wandlessly.'
Rose nodded,'Just like Harry Potter?'her maman often asked her to read one of it,but she thought the book was way too huge for her,though her friends always chatted about it so she knew some basic information of Harry Potter.
'How do you know Harry Potter?' clapped her hands in front of her mouth together.
'Oh,no,I have just read a book ab-'Rose was ready to lie but seeing shocked expression,she just paused and asked,'Didn't you read Harry Potter?'Rose mistakened.
'Yes,there are books about him,but just Ron is friends with him.'Molly smiled kindly.
'Am I in another dimension?'Rose asked,'Features?'
took out a moving photo with three kids from her pocket,Rose took it and studied it,one of them had brutture hair and chocolate dark eyes,while the other had red hair and blue eyes,she tore her eyes off Ron and laid them on a short and slimy boy who had raven hair,green eyes and a lightning-bolt scar on his immediately recognized-from what her friend,Belle described what Harry Potter looked like- who he was,Harry Potter,'Never in my life I thought that I'm in a fiction book.'she muttered in french.
'What year is it?'she said,remembering one of her friends once mentioned that Harry Potter was born in 1980 and he started to go to Hogwarts(Hogwarts!) from 1991 to 1996.
'1995,why?'
She smacked her hand her in her face,just to see if she was dreaming,'Nope,definitely not.''Nothing.'she grinned,sinking the information to her head.
She covered her mouth,and shouted,'Oui!'hard into her hand,she could do all the amazing things that her friends were dreaming about,they must be really jealous of her if they knew,wait what? Her face dropped,she couldn't returned back to 2020 to see her adopt parents or her friends,tears she was saving minutes before was taking the best of her,she tried pushed it back but she couldn't,all she could do was to rush into a bathroom and cry.
'What's wrong dear?'asked worriedly,pulling Rose back to the reality.
'Oh,it's ,I want to enter the school.'Rose managed a small smile,but was still looked unconvinced,'Is there a bathroom nearby?'
'Yes,there is,just out of the kitchen and there's one on a left hand side of you.'
Rose nodded thankfully,too emotional to speak,she didn't want to show the weak side of her to others ever,especially those who she had just met,even though they seemed nice enough.
She rushed out with the letter clutched in her hand,turn left and flung open the door,closed it instantly just in time to hear shouted,'Dear,we're going to buy a wand, second-hand books and some potion ingredients in the afternoon!'But at this time Rose didn't care,she just wanted to go back and meet her maman and dad once again and her best friends Aurelie and sank onto the floor and looked at her terrible reflection and cried as tears splashed onto the floor seemly unstoppably and endlessly,not bothering to see if anyone was outside.
