Chapter 5
The next day Harry went to find Rose to talk to her. She was still sitting at the Gryffindor table eating her breakfast when he came in. She didn't even look at him when he sat down next to her.
Harry said "sorry Rose."
Rose looked at him and said "No you are not you hate Snape and you would do anything to keep us apart. I know that but I think you are sorry that you got me in trouble. But I am still mad at you. Not as mad as Ron is but I am mad at you. Oh what does she want now?"
Rose went over to one of the Beauxbatons's Rose shook her head and said something to her in French and then to the Ravenclaw boy sitting across from her.
Fleur went to her and asked her something and Rose said loudly "No I am not telling you. I am not telling anyone, it would be cheating, it is bad enough I know."
Fleur said something in french just as loudly and Rose shook her head again and said "I don't care if we are from the same school if I am not telling my own twin I am not going to tell you or Cedric or Victor so stop asking and figure it out yourself."
Rose left the great hall flustered.
Hagrid found her with a herd of unicorns they backed up a bit as he got closer.
Hagrid asked "what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be studying or translating or something."
Rose said "I already know what I am going to do for the tasks and during the day all of us have lessons in the carriage they don't need me to translate. Hagrid do you think I should tell them what they are going to face. I mean it is supposed to be part of the tasks to figure it all out. I only know because I have seen it through my gift."
Hagrid said "I am not sure I am the right person to ask. I do not have any experience when it comes to seeing things before they happen. But isn't you knowing and them not an unfair advantage. If you are concerned about being fair then you should tell them if you are more concerned about winning then keep it to yourself."
Rose was quiet for a while then asked "Are you going to let Madam Maxime know about the Dragons I think she will really like them maybe you can have a date or something. Once the dragons arrive you could show them to her. She would be very excited. After all Dragons are vastly misunderstood creatures."
Hagrid chuckled and said "that they are. You know you are not allowed in the forbidden forest so go on get to your lessons."
Rose hugged him and said "I have missed you. I have missed everyone and it feels good being back at Hogwarts."
Hagrid said "it is where you belong not some foreign school. You should be at Hogwarts."
Rose said "they disbanded Dovewing there is no place for me here anymore."
Hagrid said "aye that was a hard blow but Hogwarts is still where you belong. It doesn't matter what house you are in you are still meant to be in Hogwarts."
Rose said "Thanks Hagrid you always make things seem so clear. I will see you later and remember what I said about Madam Maxime and the Dragons. She will love them."
Rose ran back to the castle and went to Dumbledore's office the door was open and Dumbledore was having an argument with Fudge, Crouch and Bagman.
"Cornelius we have to cancel the tournament. The Potters names coming out of the Goblet it is a sure sign someone wants them hurt or more likely killed."
Rose came in and said "Albus you are wasting your breath the Minister will never back down he is afraid it will make him look weak not smart."
Dumbledore said "Rose how many times do I have to ask you not to use my first name."
Rose said "someday you won't mind."
Dumbledore said "today is not that day. What are you doing here?"
Rose said "I just thought I should come and see how you are doing. Maybe we could have tea and play some chess."
Dumbledore said "I am rather busy right now perhaps you can come back later."
Rose was looking at Crouch and asked "sir are you alright your eyes seem a bit glazed are you getting enough sleep? The recent events haven't upset you have they? I mean what with what happened with Winky at the world cup we both know it wasn't her fault but it left you with really no choice and I am sure your home life is a bit more difficult since she left. Now with Harry and my name coming out of the Goblet it has to have added to the stress of what everyone had hoped to be an unequivocal success at a reawakening of an ancient tournament only for it to be tarnished by what happened and what may most likely happen."
Dumbledore asked "Rose what are you not telling us?"
Rose chuckled and said "that is such a loaded question. What am I not telling you? There is so much that I can respond to that with. You know what I see is great and not all that I see comes to be. Mr. Bagman have you paid my friends Fred and George their winnings yet. They are getting rather impatient but there are many others too that are far more dangerous then my friends. You really shouldn't gamble with money you don't have."
Bagman chuckled nervously and said "I have no idea what you are talking about."
Rose smirked and said "No of course not. How could you have known the money you paid them with would disappear it isn't like you purposely used leprechaun gold to pay your debts. But the Weasley twins are nothing compared to the Goblins that are after you. I am going to give you some information that if you are smart you will back up with money, real money. Harry Potter is going to win the Triwizard tournament. Cedric Diggory will be killed during the third task. And Voldemort will return to full power on the evening of June 24th. You can bet money on it."
Fudge shouted "He will not return he is dead. He died 13 years ago and he can not come back."
Rose said "Minister we have been through this before years ago. He was not killed and he will return. These are facts not my opinion or beliefs. I have said it before I really hate you but for once be smart and listen to me. When Harry tells you Voldemort is back believe him. It isn't something he will lie about. My brother is a lot of things but he is not a liar."
Crouch asked "what about you. Are you a liar?"
Rose said "I try to be honest when I can be but yes sometimes I lie. Mostly it is to protect people for instance I lied about not putting a name in the Goblet of fire. The name that came out is the one I put in."
Dumbledore asked "why did you lie about it?"
Rose said "because someone else put Harry's name in and it would have come out. By putting the name Potter in both Harry and I would have to compete this way I can make sure Harry is safe. If I die in this tournament then so be it but Harry must live. You know why that is true I don't have to explain it to you do I."
Dumbledore said "No you don't. I am aware why Harry needs to live but Rose I don't think risking your own life is a good way to go about protecting Harry. He is going to want to make sure you are safe too perhaps at the risk of his own life and safety. That being said Rose I would like you to tell me in further detail how Voldemort returns and Cedric dies."
Rose said "I know but I am not going to tell you. Bad things happen but in the end good things happen. The good things can't happen without the bad things happening first. I have told you this before it is still true. The only thing I can see possibly changing is getting Cedric to live but I am not sure that is a good thing. Cedric is a good person but he is young and there are many things that can cause good young people to embrace the darkness. Public embarrassment can plant the seed of darkness. If he is beat by a fourth year student that is far less powerful or intelligent then he is that might be all it takes for him to embrace the darkness. Oh don't get me wrong Harry isn't stupid or powerless but well he is a bit average when it comes to all of that there are many other things that makes Harry special."
Dumbledore said "Rose I assume in your vision you were not in the tournament."
Rose said "No I wasn't but I had to enter to protect Harry."
Dumbledore said "I understand that but Rose there is no one like you. By entering the tournament the possibility of you winning is very high. Not only are you incredibly powerful and intelligent you also have the foresight to know what the tasks are and there fore how to win them long before the others."
Rose said "I don't intend to win I will only be there to make sure nothing happens to Harry."
Bagman said "that isn't how the tournament works. Your name coming out of the goblet caused a binding magical contract it is much like the unbreakable vow if you do not actively try to win the tournament it will break the contract and there for break you."
Rose frowned and said "well that is unfortunate because Harry has to win. I am going to have to think about how this is going to work. I mean this has to happen I think much of what I have seen after this can be changed but I am certain this has to happen in the way I saw it happening. Professor Dumbledore about those things I told you about a few years ago the things I mentioned about the reason for the Chamber of Secret needing to be opened how is it coming with those?"
Dumbledore said "that is not something I would be comfortable talking about in said company. But I am afraid only one of the items you mentioned has been recovered and destroyed."
Rose said "we will have to talk more about that later then. I believe I know more about them now then I did before."
Dumbledore asked "Rose why did you come up here to begin with?"
Rose smiled and said "I think I want to come back to Hogwarts next year. I was talking with Hagrid and he made me realize that even though Dovewing doesn't exist anymore it doesn't mean I don't belong at Hogwarts. Severus and I will just have to figure something out. I haven't talked to Madam Maxime or Severus about it yet but if it's alright with you I would like to come back to Hogwarts."
Dumbledore said "I would be happy for you to come back. It hasn't been the same without you. Now if I am not mistaken it is nearly lunch and you need to fill your capsity of interpreter."
Rose sighed and said "They would be lost without me. It was nice seeing you all again. I still hate you minister but have a good day anyway."
Rose left and Bagman asked "why does she hate you."
Fudge said "it isn't important and I am sure she will get over it in time. She is only a child after all."
