Chapter 8

Rose woke very late it was nearly noon she was very hungry so she went to the great hall. Classes had been canceled for the day and Rose learned that many things had happened after she had gone to bed.

Ginny had been becoming possessed by Riddles diary. The basilisk had been killed the sword imbedded with venom and the diary destroyed. Also Harry had freed the Malfoy's house elf Dobby.

Ginny hugged Rose and said "Thank you Dumbledore told me it was because of you that everything happened. Rose you set me free."

Rose said "I didn't do much I just let Dumbledore and some of the other professors know about some of the visions I had."

Luna and Cassie sat down next to Rose and asked "Rose is it true is Dovewing really closing and you are leaving?"

Harry asked "What? Rose what are they talking about?"

Rose said "The minister has dissolved Dovewing and I will not be returning to Hogwarts when I leave for Christmas. I will be tutored for the rest of the year at home then in September I will start at Beauxbatons. I think Luna and Cassie will be put in Ravenclaw."

Harry asked "why can't you be put in Ravenclaw or another house. Why do you have to leave?"

Rose said "this pregnancy is wearing on me much more then the first I simply do not have the energy to make it to all of my classes anymore. I will be privately tutored at home so I can start as a third year in September."

Hermione said "that is understandable but why not come back in the fall after the baby is born and you have recovered."

Tears filled Rose's eyes and she said "I can't see him everyday and sit in class with him without being with him anymore."

Harry said "You broke up."

Rose nodded and couldn't hold the tears back anymore. Harry held her and said "I am sorry Rose."

They both knew that wasn't true Harry hated Rose and Snape being together but he was sorry she was hurting.

Rose dried her eyes and asked "are you coming home for Christmas Mr. and Mrs. Weasley wrote and said they are going to visit Bill in Egypt it might be fun. I can't wait to see Sly he has probably gotten so big."

Harry smiled and said "I already said I was staying and the others are staying too. You have a good time with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and play with Sly but don't forget to write me."

Rose said "I won't I guess I will have to get an owl now too. It is too bad I couldn't keep the snake I think it would have made a good pet. It is the first nice thing Draco has ever done. Most of the time he is so negative."

Ron said "Rose you do know Malfoy wasn't trying to give you a gift he was attacking you."

Rose said "No I think you are wrong. If he wanted to attack me why didn't he use the stunning spell or disarming spell. I am sure he wanted to give me a pet."
