Chapter 27: A very long week

Disclaimer: Just like I've been telling you since Chapter 1, I do not own Harry Potter or any characters that are familiar to you. I do own all 5 Harry Potter books and I have pre-ordered book 6! The character of Harry Potter came from the wonderful (wizard of Oz; couldn't help it) head of J.K. Rowling.

A/N: The French phrase: Ce que l'enfer sanglant était que tout environ from chapter 26 means, "What the bloody hell was all that about?" I'm sorry for the confusion. I'll remember to put the meaning in ( )'s next time.

Rose and Mary told their friends about the past nights events as they collected their bags and walked down to their first class. Hermione kept making short noises that showed she didn't approve of anything the two had done. After a while the noises got on Mary's nerves.

"I know you don't like the fact that we snuck out of the castle and stuff but it's over with, you can't change the past." She said.

"Yes you can." Ron said. "You can use a time-turner." Mary shrugged and Hermione gave him a look that said silently, 'I've told you already blah, blah, blah."

Rose rolled her eyes. And they were at it again. She quickly pushed her way between the two gave Ron a small kiss on the cheek and said, "Shut up now." Ron obeyed and Rose acted as if her job was completed.

Classes were murder that day. Rose and Mary both found themselves wishing they had actually gotten seriously injured. Even though it was only the second week of January Rose found herself dreaming of Valentines Day with Ron. During afternoon Defense against Dark Arts Rose drew herself and Ron on Valentines Day. On one side she wrote her full name and on the other Ron's full name, in the middle was an 'and' sign (&). At the very bottom of the drawing below their feet was the word, "Forever" She didn't look up or even pay attention to her surroundings until she heard Mary's voice.

"Oi, Rose, pay attention." She hissed. Rose looked up and found that everyone was coping notes off the board. Professor Lupin was standing beside her desk.

"Welcome to the land of the living Rose. May I see that?" He asked pointing to the parchment Rose was drawing on. Rose groaned and handed it to him. He chuckled slightly when he saw the drawing and walked back up to his desk in front of the classroom.

Rose unwillingly copied down what was on the board. As they were leaving Rose took her wand out and pointed it at the board muttering something in French under her breath. She tapped Mary's shoulder and made her look up at the board. Mary covered her mouth with her hand and let out a small giggle. One the board was a French insult, it didn't do much harm if you didn't know French but it was quite funny.

"Mary, Rose, a moment please," Professor Lupin said. Mary groaned in unison with Rose as they turned on their heel and walked back up to the front of the classroom.

"Thanks for dragging me into this Rose!" Mary hissed. Rose glared at her.

"Just so you two girls know I am fluent in French so I can read that," He said pointing to the board. "And Rose, here is your picture back. Don't let me catch you drawing in my class again." Rose took the picture back and stuffed it into her bag blushing. The two girls then walked out.

"Au reviour!" They yelled. (Good Bye)


"So Rose, what were you drawing?" Ron asked.

"Nothing," Rose answered as they all made their way towards the common room.

"Come on tell me, what were you drawing?" Ron bothered Rose.

"Nothing, Ron!" Rose yelled and walked faster.

"She was drawing a Valentines Day picture of you and her." Mary said.

"MARY!" Rose yelled louder. Mary squeaked and ran out of reach from Rose.

Rose was blushing.

"You were?" Ron asked. Rose nodded. Ron caught up with Rose and kissed her.

"Get a room you two!" Mary called behind her. Ron and Rose parted, blushing a deep crimson red. Harry gave the password as they neared the fat lady portrait and it opened to reveal the Gryffindor common room. The five friends planted themselves in their favorite armchairs near the fire. It was then they realized how cold the corridors were. They silently decided to work on Charms homework first.

Five minutes into the assignment Mary spoke,

"Rose." She said making the vowel sound long.

"What?" Rose asked not looking up.

"Rose." Mary repeated, making the vowel sound long once more.

"What?" Rose asked again.

"Ro—"Mary began

"WHAT?" Rose yelled looking up.

"I need help." Mary answered. Rose groaned and began explaining.

"Harry?" Mary said after Rose had helped her and gone back to her own work.

"Yes?" Harry asked.

"No you are supposed to say 'what'." Mary answered.

"He's too smart for you." Rose said receiving a smack upside the head from Mary. "OW!" She yelped. After finishing her Charms essay Rose put her Charms book back in her back and pulled out a muggle pencil and sketchbook. Ron looked over her shoulder. "Not drawing you Ronald you can go back to your homework." Rose said not looking up from her work. Ron obeyed.


"IT'S FRIDAY!" Rose yelled the next morning at breakfast.

"Thank you Miss Lamya. Would you like to tell us the month, date, and time also?" Rose turned around and saw Professor McGonagall and some other students staring at her.

"No thanks Professor." Rose said and sat down next to Ron. Hermione laughed.

"Hermione, I am accusing you of having a life." Mary accused.

"What?" Hermione asked confused.

"You are never with us anymore. You are always with Terry. Maybe we should see if you can switch house." Rose joked.

"That would be nice." Ron said. Hermione glared at him. Again Rose thought this was going to be a long week. She was right when they entered Transfiguration after Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid's class had gone by fast but McGonagall's seemed to tick by as if being taught by a snail.

At the end of that day the five went outside in the snow. With a flash of blinding lime light Rose transformed into a cat, a small ginger cat almost like Crookshanks except much smaller. The small cat shivered as a snow flake fell onto her small pink nose. She brought her paw up and brushed away the snow on her face. She then transformed back.

"Ok, cats, winter, me no likes it." Rose said.

"Work on that grammar Miss Lamya." Mary joked and was playfully hit with a snowball. This soon turned into a blur of white snow.


Ok, I am really, really sorry! I never meant for this to be so long but I've been busy. And the ideas refused to come to me. Anyway, I had the SOLs today. (Standards of Learning tests) and I have the writing prompt tomorrow. On Friday my choir is going to a contest. I am so afraid we won't do well because there is this one person in Women's Chorus (my choir) who can not sing. She is so awful. I don't normally say bad stuff about people who sing bad since I can't sing well myself but she can not sing and she does not blend with the choir. Those of you who are vocally musical you know that is not good.

Onto reviewers:

StonySilence: ok good. And egh, I hate that feeling.

Misao Demon Master: Yeah, my spell check didn't catch up on that. I am in 9th grade vocabulary but only in 7th grade school level so I'm still having trouble with spelling everything. Oh and the translation is at the top of this chapter.

Daughter of Darkness777: FANFICTIONS our anti-homework. Right?

funkygurl3: I'm glad my titles aren't that pathetic. Titles and endings are my weak point. I like the HP series because you can end the stories easily. Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Sorry about the French. My first language was getting tired of English had to slip in a bit of French. As I said above I'll remember to put in the English translation.
