A/N: I'm gonna have this chapter in Rose's point of view. Hope it's okay with you guys. I dunno, trip with me guys. Hope you guys appreciate this. Anyways, if ya don't like it, tell me in your review, or if, perhaps, you want Harry's POV on the story, 'right? R&R peepz!

Chapter 8: Musings of the Punk

Rose's POV

Damn it. Why're you actin' this way, Rose Ashworth? You're supposed to be the strong, naïve, cold, punk Ashworth. Why're you actin like this?

Better get outta here before they try to open the damn door and find me blockin' it.

"Hi, Rose!"

"Mm."

Why do they always notice me? For Pete's sake, am just walkin' down a damn corridor. Why do I always've to –?

"Rose! Wait!"

Oh great.

"Lair was like shouting around the place looking for you. What happened?"

What the heck is this girl talking about?

"What? Umm, I dunno… Guess she just wants another… Quidditch one-on-one?"

Yeah, laugh like a witch.

"Hahah… Right, see ya 'round then."

And Lair. I swear she was born to make mah life miserable.

Why does 't'always turn out like this? I wanna speak up for once.

People think I'm nasty. Obnoxious. Down right rude.

Yeah. But that's still covered up.

What would they say if they knew how I really felt? If they found out I don't want this mission after all?

I don't wanna save anyone.

I don't wanna let everyone die in the madman's hands either.

Damn that Voldemort. It's his fault I was destined to live like this anyway.

I wanna live plainly.

Damn that singin' career. Whoever suggested that the best way to protect the magical community was to have me sing on the damn Muggle-stage?

And as if am not havin' enough, they put me in school!

"Nasake."

"Hi!"

Who's this again? Oh yeah, the top student. She likes to think we're close friends since she's smart an' am famous.

"Hi."

I prefer Granger to her. Well, they're almost the same. I dunno. I just like Granger more.

"Kurai yo."

Yep.

Guess am gonna spend the rest of the day here.

I wanna get peace for once.

Since when did this bed become so hard?

Let it go, Ashworth, let it go.

Potter. Harry Potter. Why's he so… important?

He's like you, airhead.

Yeah, he survived the madman too.

Thus the conclusion.

For ya to become inst'ntly famous, all you've to do is seek out Voldy an' have'im try to kill ya. If ya survive, congratulations, you're a new star. If you die, too bad, try on your next life.

Does Potter get this shit too?

Does his caretakers pressure'im just as much?

I've heard his Muggle family doesn't treat him well.

At least tha's a change.

But what 'bout the wizards 'round him? Do they push him like this too?

He doesn't seem bothered by it.

Ya airhead, of course he doesn't seem, ya guys're not supposed to show it. Does anyone see you complainin' 'bout your so-called mission?

No one.

No one knows.

No one knows your pain.

No one.

So then, is Potter goin' through the same thing?

Is he tryin' to hide it too? Like me?

Damn. Potter's takin' over my brain! Hahah!

I need to talk to'im. Seriously.

Am gonna ask him if he feels like this 'bout Voldy… And protectin' these damn wizards.

I need him to tell me he's goin' through the same stuff.

I need him to share this with me.

Of all people, I 'xpect he'd understand… He would. He's jus' like me.

Hmmm… Getting sleepy.

I need him to tell me this's jus' normal.

I need him to tell me that we're goin' through the same pressures.

I need him to tell me we're 'xperiencin' this 'cause we're popular heroes. Hahah…

I need him to comfort me, I guess.

I need him to…

I need him…

A/N: She fell asleep, all right? Should I do this with Harry as well? Or maybe Draco? Tell me in your review! Chill!
