A/N: Please please please please please please review, it means so much to me!!
In the morning everyone was running around like a load of mad idiots getting their stuff ready for class. People like Neville, or really only Neville, had nothing to pack because they had forgotten everything! Hermione was trying to reassure him that they didn't have Snape until the next day and he should have his things by then. Obviously it takes more than a normal owl to send a cauldron!
Harry explained everything he had told Ron to Hermione but he kept his letter a secret.
Dear Rose,
I would like to be more than friends with you, I'd like to be family. Meet me in the common room at 1am on Friday.
Harry Potter (your cousin)
He had written that letter the night before and then given it to Hedwig at breakfast when he had also received a letter from Molly Weasly.
Harry,
Sorry we didn't tell you about Rose, we couldn't face it. Please don't get into trouble! If she's anything like you, you both will. I know trouble finds you sometimes but you can always owl us or other people, Ron mentioned you had a special person but he couldn't tell us who. You and Rose are both invited to stay with us in The Burrow this summer and any other summers too. Hermione is staying also. You have enough to worry about at the moment so I won't say anymore.
Molly
Sometimes she just made things worse although he knew she meant good. Hedwig flew up and out of the hall until she realised who the letter was to and dropped it in front of Rose. She quickly stuffed it into her bag and continued talking to her friends.
4th years had Care of Magical Creatures joint with the 3rd years for some reason so they all headed off together. Hermione pushed Rose forward into them so they had to talk to eachother, Ron quickly swapped places with Harry without him noticing so he and Rose were in the middle of Ron and Hermione.
"I'm Hermione, pleased to meet you." Began Hermione smiling.
"I'm Rose, er, Harry's cousin." She said awkwardly.
"Ron Weasly." Ron smiled at her, she smiled back.
"Yeah I know your sister, are your twin brothers really that bad?" she asked.
"Yes." Blushed Ron. His sister was already talking to this girl she hadn't known for a day about her family. Ginny was friendly but even so.
"Hi kids, glad you're not with the Slytherins eh? Well we're pairing one 4th year up with a 3rd year for a very special yearly assignment." Beamed Hagrid, for someone reason he was avoiding eye contact with Harry.
"Colin and Dennis Creevy." He announced the first pair and then Harry understood family was together.
"Ron and Ginny Weasly." Ron was so annoyed he almost pulled Ginny's arm off when he went to sit with her.
"Harry and Rose Potter." He said quickly.
"Hermione Granger and Derik Number." He went through all the pairs. Harry looked at his cousin sitting next to him, the scar on her hand and the black hair and green eyes. The trademark of a Potter it seemed. He turned back and giggled at Hermione trying to help Derik catch his frogs and he looked at Ron and Ginny having a heated argument. Only Dennis and Colin seemed happy. Suddenly Rose interrupted his thoughts.
"Harry, would you like a chocolate frog?" she asked.
"Er, yeah sure!" he replied. Their hands touched for the first time and they faced away quickly, blushing furiously. They were saved by Hagrid's words.
"This is going to be really really fun! I'm going to give you all a baby fluff ball. They're the cutest creatures, and you'll raise the little trouble makers until the end of the year then you can give'em to me, set'em free or keep'em it's up to you! You'll take'em to all your lessons and everything, which's why you're in pairs. I advice not to take it to Potions incase Snape decides he needs a test subject! The one's with blue collars are boys and the one's with pink collars are girl. It's got your names and house on it and the blank collar is for you to put their name on, just touch it with your wand and say the chosen name.
Harry and Rose's fluff ball was a girl and it was golden and had green eyes. It was palmsize and very shy. They decided to call it 'Twinkle' and named it so. While they fed it and decided who would take it they managed to avoid talking quite a lot, they also sorted out the 'baby' bag Hagrid had given each of them. Most of the 4th years were taking them because the 3rd years had potions that day so as they went off for break Rose hurriedly said to Harry, "I'll meet you at Friday, yes. I'll talk to you after dinner in the common room about Twinkle." All of the time avoiding looking at his face, she then ran off with Ginny.
