Chapter 5

Lessons

Rose was quite looking forward to the lessons the next morning that was except for when she informed she had to borrow and outfit from someone… She didn't know anyone except for pig headed Parvatii who was at least twice her size. Rose then decided to worry about it in the morning, she laid down in her bed rather late at night but couldn't sleep things kept on bothering. When slumber did finally come she interrupted by a memory dream she wished she could have forgotten.

He parked the car a long ways from her house and leaned over and began to kiss her, she pulled away. "No, just take me home" He grinded his teeth at her "Please, Kyle"

"Not right now… we're not through here!" He screamed. She reached for the door handle as he had locked it, she struggled to get it unlocked, once she did she tried to get out of the car but he grabbed her by the hair and through her back against the seat. Rose began to scream he covered her mouth, and she bit him. "You dirty Whore!" He screamed to her as she fled the car. He got out and chased her down. He grabbed her arm and flung her against the wall of a nearby garage, he began to strangle her. Then leaned in and began to kiss her. She struggled to get free of his grasp, but he punched her in the stomach, she winced in pain but knew better than to talk. He began to feel her up, she tried to get free again as he went for her belt and he slammed her head against the wall… everything went black.

Rose jolted up in cold sweat, tears already falling from her eyes. "Why… why… why me?" She whispered to herself as she watched tears fall to the blanket. Everyone was asleep, she decided to go back down to the common room to sit by the fire, she felt cold even though she knew it couldn't be stopped. She sat on the couch right in front of the fire and held her knees to her chest. She had done this many times before as she had contemplated what to do next. She kept crying, she cried too hard to hear anyone come down.

"Are you okay?" Said a voice behind her, a voice she recognized all too well. She whipped her nose with her sleeve.

"I'm fine… Draco, go back to bed." She said in a hushed whisper a she dug her nails into her skin and slid them down, making only three scratches with little to no blood. He sat down next to her; she let the hair fall in front of her face so he couldn't see her.

"Are you sure, because… to me… crying doesn't fit into the category of okay!' He said brushing her brown hair out of her eyes; there was mascara down her cheeks lining the path the tears had taken. He whipped a tear right as it was about to fall off her face,

"I'm sorry, just had a bad dream, I guess I got al little worked-up over it… I'm really okay," She said whipping her own eyes now.

"Can I ask what it was about?"

"Just a really bad memory!" She said as her lip quivered.

"Oh… I'm sorry…"

"Me too..." She said as tears burst through her eyes again. He held her for a while. She stopped crying shortly after. "What are you doing up?"

"Had a bad dream myself" He said as she looked up at him. " Just a fear that came to reality" She laid her head back on his chest. "Here lay down," He said moving on the floor, she sprawled out on the couch and he rested his chin on the edge of the couch near her face. "You should get some sleep!" He said standing.

"Wait… don't leave me all alone" she said. He couldn't resist her intensely blue eyes.

"Okay…" He said grabbing a blanket from a nearby chair and laying it over her. She moved over for him to lie next to her. He crawled under the blanket.

By morning however, Rose awoke to find her head on his bare chest and she was suddenly confused… all the sudden the memory came back to her, the dream, Draco coming down, and him staying with her. Head had his arm under and their feet were twisted together. She felt complete for once in her life and she didn't dare me in fear the feeling would leave her. Ten minuets her awoke with a stir. He smiled when he looked down into her beautiful eyes.

"Thank-you…" Rose moaned but still not moving.

"What was I supposed to do… Leave you here?"

"Yeah… you were… but I'm happy you didn't" She said smiling, she now realized that she was in daisy-dooks with Betty Boop on them and a black tummy shirt, he was only in plaid pajama pants.

There was quite a commotion once Pansy came down stairs and saw this scene; Rose decided this would be a good time to get ready for her classes. She had the black shirt that she needed even though it was safety-pinned and shaggily cut it worked. She didn't have the oxford shirt. She threw on her black stockings even though they had red ribbons lining the side of them, and threw on her Chucks. She brushed on red eye shadow and black eyeliner and left to ask Draco for another favor

May was down in breakfast already sitting by Herimonie, Harry, and Ron. She was borrowing Herimonie's outfit and was enjoying her food. This was her first day of lessons she had Defense Against the Dark Arts first. Harry and her were in a deep conversation about Quiditch, May was fascinated by this sport.

"Yeah, I'm the seeker of the team, have been since my first year here!" Harry said proudly. "Own a Fire Bolt myself… the Weasly twins are beaters on the team as well… we have and outstanding team all together!"

"I bet you do," Said May batting her eye lashes in a flirtatious manor. He grinned back. "So… When will I get to see the famous Harry Potter in action?"

"This Friday we verse Ravenclaw!"

"Can't wait!"

"Neither can I" Harry said getting up and Grabbing his books as May followed in pursuit. "Here let me take those!" He said grabbing May's books from her.

"Thanks"

"Anytime," He said through a wink.

Defense Against the Dark Arts was quiet a blur. It went by rather quickly, well May wouldn't really know she had her eyes on other things… Harry for instance. After that they had study hall with McGonagall then lunch May couldn't help but to smile at Harry all through lunch.

"Great we have Care of Magical Creatures with Slytherin..." Ron said sarcastically.

"Yay… Rose… I get to see Rose!" May said through a big grin.

"Yes, well that's great for you but we have to see Malfoy…" Harry said muttering something else under his breath.

"Oh wonderful, Care of Magical Creatures with Gryffindor!" Draco said sarcastically.

"May… my Mayeekins!" Rose yelped out of pure joy!

"Well I so happy that you get to see your friend… Saint Potter .er!" Malfoy growled.

They left to go to the edge of the grounds toward a small hut that Draco told her belonged to an oaf of a fool. Once concealed by trees in the wood Rose saw May next to all her friends, May ran to her. Thy wrapped their arms around each other like they hadn't seen each for years nevertheless a day…

"Look at you fit to go to school here!" Rose said to May looking at how she seemed to fit in perfectly in the crowd of their uniformed peers.

"Yes, your shirts a little big... don't you think?" Harry, Ron, and Herimonie came over to join May.

"Yeah, well it's Malfoy's I don't know any girls who aren't giants compared to me!" They all laughed. Harry seemed to be examining her closely. "Can I help you?" She said glaring at Harry. Ron nudged him… he hadn't realized that the conversation had turned to him.

"Uh, Sorry… just um…?" Harry said looking to his feet

"Just um, what?" Rose said not taking her eyes off him.

"Well-"

"Oh, Come off it Rose… I told him about What Bagman said, and about you… he's just curious, I mean these aren't normal likenesses. Rose he's only suspecting the same thing you are. No reason to get defensive." May interrupted Harry.

"What? Did you listen to a Bloody word Bagman and Dumbledore said?" May looked to her feet turning red. "Well fine I'll tell you what he said he said to keep any information to minimal, watch our backs, to keep our mouths shut for our own protection, I was protecting my last name!" Rose said in a know-it-all tone.

"It's only us, we won't tell anyone!" Ron said trying to sound brave.

"Yeah" May sounded.

"I understand that they're your friends it's just… I've heard a ser few things about all of you." She said keeping her chin up

"Well I'm sorry I told but your not there for me to confide in all the time, and I need to talk about this stuff with someone!" May said looking up for the first time.

"Oh May, I'm so sorry I snapped! I just… just… miss you… I completely understand. I just… bad dream. No biggie though! I'm so sorry!" Rose said hugging May!

"Bad dream, not again?" May whispered in Rose's ear. Rose shook like she was about to tear up, "Don't you worry, nobody's gonna hurt you here… I won't let them." She said as Rose sniffled and straightened up becoming the bad ass that she normally was. May gave he a kiss on the cheek before releasing her.

"I'm sorry to all of you too…" Rose said looking them dead in the eyes. None of them said anything. "Why are you looking at me so curiously, I mean it's not like we look alike?" Rose asked Harry.

"We might not, but…"

"She's right ya know, you got brown hair and she's got red, the only thing that's alike are your piecing blue eyes." May said.

"Umm…well… Harry here looks like James… you look an awfully like Lily Potter… with the red hair ya know?" Herimonie said. Rose was taken aback.

"Well today I want the Slytherins over 'er… Terday yers have a work sheet ter werk on! Get in groups of fer!" Hagrid announced. May and Rose both jumped back at the sight of this giant. "Who are they?" Hagrid said indicating May and Rose.

"New students Hagrid!" Harry said.

"Oh well get into your houses ladies…" Hagrid said as Rose walked to Malfoy who was sitting on a giant bolder, he smiled to see that she had returned. Malfoy was scribbling on a piece of parchment.

"What are you doing?" Rose asked as she climbed next to him. There were a few words that were addressed to Goyle. He took his wand to it and muttered a few words and it turned into a bird then he held it in the palm of his hand and blew. It flew flapping its wings all the way to Goyle. "That's bloody brilliant… teach me!" She said grinning. He smiled and grabbed more parchment.

"Write a note to someone!" He said. Rose wrote a note to May all it said was 'I love ya!'

"Now what?"

"Take your wand an-"

"I don't have one"

"Oh well here's mine… now say minverio" She did as she was told and it transformed instantly! She was in pure shock. "Now blow on it" She took a deep breath and blew rather hard, spit flew with it too, it was a horrible blow. "NO, no, no, let me help you" He said as he scooted toward her put one hand around her and grasped both of her hands and laid them in his palms, exactly like he had done. "Now on the count of three blow gently" He had his head right next to her face as he whispered that in her ear "one… two…three" they both blew and off it sailed.

"Yeah…. Yeah I did it!" She said in a childish but ecstatic voice.

"Yeh, ya did" He said, She turned her head to find him looking at her. Their faces were only inches away.

"Thanks…" She whispered almost unable to be heard.

"Well, er's yer papers!" Hagrid said passing them papers.

"Oh thanks, but I don't have a book." Rose said to Hagrid.

"Well, ask someone… er, Malfoy will share with yer!" Hagrid said moving on.

"Will you?" Rose asked looking as cute as ever.

"Yeah…you bet!" They worked rather well together with the occasional laughs and giggles. Rose looked over to see that May and Harry were sharing books too, they looked cute together, laughing and giggling in the sunlight. Rose smiled in delight and then went back to work!
