I'm Your Angel

Chapter 2: Odd Happenings

Lily and Rose spent the entire day laughing and talking. Later that night Rose was on her prefects' duty and Lily was on her head girl duties. They were in separate parts of the castle so everything seemed quiet. Rose had caught two different groups of Slytherins and a group of Gryffindors doing things they shouldn't be doing. Rose opened the door to an empty classroom down in the dungeons for she had seen movement inside. As Rose walked in the door to the classroom slammed shut. She turned around, but couldn't see anything for it was dark. She took out her wand and shouted, "Lumos!"

Rose' wand lit up and she almost dropped it when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned quickly and grabbed the wrist of a boy in her year. "Luscious!" she snarled. "Why would you scare me like that?" He smirked and backed away from a moment. He looked her up and down in her black robes.

"You look more like a penguin than I do," he sneered. Rose glared at him, but he just smirked at her. He moved over to her and grabbed the wrist that held the wand. He then backed her up against the wall, his body pressing against hers tokeep her to the wall,and his face was just an inch away from hers. His breath tickled her face and she heard him whisper, barely audible, "We'll see who has the last laugh." He lips brushed against hers for just a moment causing Rose to drop her wand. Everything went dark, but Rose' eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness. Rose felt her palms get all sweaty and she had completely lost all speech. Her breath shortened into quick breaths. Luscious pulled back and smirked at her before disappearing. Rose heard the door to the classroom open and close.

Rose picked up her wand and then left the classroom. Luscious was nowhere in sight. Rose sighed deeply and put her wand away. Then Rose kept walking when she nearly ran into Sirius. "Sirius, what are you doing out this late?" she hissed. Sirius smiled an innocent smile and replied, "Couldn't sleep." Rose rolled her eyes and Sirius' smile grew bigger.

"So, how's your night been?" Sirius asked trying to start a conversation. Rose glared at him and slapped him across his face. He looked at her very confused.

"Don't think I haven't forgotten about the whole pajama thing, Sirius!" Rose then brushed past him and heard him sigh. She soon noticed he was walking next to her. "What do you want, Sirius?" Rose asked stopping suddenly.

"I'm sorry about earlier and using your night gown and…"

"Shhhh!" Rose said suddenly putting a finger to his lips. Just then they heard a moan from the classroom next to them. Rose opened the door and rolled her eyes in disgust. "You two get to your common rooms now!" Rose said as the two sixth years looked up. They blushed and quickly moved to get dressed. "And ten points from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor," Rose said recognizing who was in what House. Rose then closed the door and started walking down the hall again. Sirius was still walking with her.

"Did you really think about dating me?" he asked suddenly. Rose looked at him with a smile.

"Maybe," she replied teasingly. Sirius smiled and then asked, "So maybe you would reconsider…"

"Not a chance, Sirius, now get back to the Gryffindor common room!" Sirius shrugged and smiled innocently.

"Worth a try," he said as he turned the other way and headed back to the common room. Meanwhile, Lily was at the other end of the castle. She sighed as she made her way around. She hadn't caught anyone and wasn't able to catch anyone at doing anything wrong all night. Suddenly James appeared right in front of her. She jumped back and when she realized who it was she put a hand over her beating heart.

"You nearly scared me to death, James!" Lily exclaimed. James grinned and said, "Good. Did I scare you into considering about dating me?" Lily smiled and shook her head in amusement.

"Not a chance, James, now get back to the Gryffindor common room!" Lily replied not noticing that she was saying the exact same thing Rose had said, except to different people.

The next morning Lily and Rose were walking down the hall towards the Great Hall. "So what happened last night?" Rose asked Lily.

"Nothing much, except James tried to ask me out again. You?"

"Sirius tried to ask me out again and…" At that moment Luscious turned the corner and came towards them. He stopped them and smirked at Rose. When she saw him Rose blushed.

"You look more like a penguin than I do," he commented causing Rose to blush even more. At that same moment Remus, Sirius, and James came from behind. Sirius noticed Rose blushing a very deep red and raised his eyebrows as he neared. "What do you want, Malfoy?" Lily asked narrowing her eyes. She noticed Rose blushing madly and wondered why she was quiet.

"I don't want anything, but Potter and Black probably do," Luscious said nodding towards the ascending boys. Lily sighed and Rose smiled at Luscious. He smirked at her and she frowned, but there was an unmistakable sparkle in her eyes. Luscious walked past them and purposefully stopped in front of Sirius, James, and Remus.

"Leave Rose alone, Malfoy," Sirius hissed. "Back off!"

"Jealous, Black? Get used to it," Luscious smirked before walking off. "I hate him," Sirius said when he was gone.

"Me too," Remus and James said together. "Jinx!" they said together again. They all laughed as they headed to breakfast. Meanwhile, Lily dragged Rose into an empty classroom. "What was that all about?" Lily asked as the last hint of Rose's blush disappeared.

"What are you talking about?" Rose asked innocently.

"Why were you blushing?" Lily asked.

"Oh, that…well, it's a long story…ok it is short." And so Rose quickly told Lily the events of last night. Lily smiled and said, "Are you serious?"

"Yes! I'm quite serious…please don't hate me…"

"Hate you? Why would I hate the fact that my best friend has a crush on a Slytherin?" Lily said teasingly. Rose blushed and defended herself.

"I do not have a crush on Luscious!"
"Why would you call him Luscious instead of Malfoy then? Well…I only have one thing to say. ROSE LIKES LUSCIOUS!" Lily hollered the last sentence. Rose blushed and chased Lily all the way to the Great Hall. After breakfast Rose went off to Transfiguration while Lily went off to Arithmetic. On her way she found Severus being picked on by Remus, Peter, James, and Sirius again. Rose rolled her eyes and walked over to them with determination in her eyes. When she reached them Sirius shut up and just stared at her. Rose glared at him, still obviously mad that he had taken her night gown.

"Does this really amuse you guys?" Rose asked with a hint of anger in her voice. Remus, James, and Peter quieted and stared at her. Severus looked at her with one eyebrow raised. "I asked you a question. It's polite to answer it." The four boys shrugged and Severus just stared at her. "You guys make me sick," Rose said glaring at Sirius, Remus, Peter, and James. They all looked at the ground and Severus started to inch away from all of them.

"You guys should not pick on anyone just because they are from a different house or you don't like them. You know, the only person you seem to pick on is Severus. Do you think he's going to have complete power over you if you don't? No one deserves to be treated the way you treat him. I would expect more from you, James. And you want me to date someone like you, Sirius? And who would have guessed that gentle Remus was so rude? And, Peter, I don't even want to start with you! You should all be ashamed of yourselves! Now stop bothering him and get to class," Rose said. She felt very proud of herself then. Sirius nodded and then the four boys quietly left. Rose looked at Severus and smiled.

"Thanks," he whispered.

"No problem. Are you all right though?" Severus nodded and Rose saw him fighting a smile. Rose smiled again before she turned and headed on to her next class. Severus watched her leave and when he turned around he saw Luscious walking over to him with a smirk on his face. "Hello, Severus. I never figured you were one to flirt," Luscious said. Obviously he had no idea what was said. Severus scowled at him making Luscious smirk even more. He looked at Rose's retreating back and almost smiled. When he looked back at Severus he saw him smirking at Luscious.

"Looks like I'm not the one who is doing all the flirting," Severus said before leaving. Later that afternoon Rose met Lily for lunch. They told each other about their morning. Lily was happy for Rose and smiled when Rose mentioned what she said to Remus, James, Sirius, and Peter. "Hey, Rose," Sirius said walking up and sitting next to her. James walked over and sat down next to Lily and Remus and Peter sat next to them.

Rose ignored Sirius and began to eat lunch. "Rose?" Sirius said. Rose ignored him again. Sirius sighed and said, "I'm sorry about earlier." Rose looked at him and smiled. "You should be," she teased. Sirius smiled, glad that she was talking to him again.

"So how was your morning, Lily?" James asked.

"It was fine," she replied to James. Just then Luscious walked out of the Great Hall. Rose watched him leave and tried hard not to blush. Sirius noticed this was a bit jealous. "Are you ok, Rose?" he asked, the jealousy shown in his voice. Rose looked at him and nodded. Sirius raised his eyebrows, but said nothing else. After lunch Rose and Lily went to their next class.

Sirius was walking with James and Remus to their next class, Divination. "Why did you ask if Rose was all right?" Remus asked Sirius.

"She was watching Malfoy leave and she blushed a little. Do you think something is going on?"

"Doubt it," James said. "Malfoy doesn't appreciate muggle borns the way we do. Isn't that right, Remus?"

"I guess. You guys are lucky though. You guys have girls to lust over since they don't want anything to do with you and I have no one. I feel so left out sometimes…"

"It's ok, buddy. You'll find someone eventually," Sirius said patting his back. Remus shrugged. Just then Luscious walked their way. Sirius glared at him and hissed, "Stay away from Rose, Malfoy." He smirked at him.

"Afraid I'll take her from you? Wait, you don't even have her. If she happens to like me more than you then that's your problem. Not mine," Luscious hissed in a low whisper. Then he marched off, proud of himself. Sirius stared after him in anger and jealousy and as he did he thought, 'He won't take Rose away from me. She will be mine no matter what it takes!'
