Rose had for a moment been lost in thoughts of Saturday on Sunday morning and had forgotten that non third years weren't allowed to go to Hogsmeade which meant that Ron and Hermione hadn't been there which then made Rose wonder what Harry had been up to the whole time. She shrugged her shoulders to herself and headed down the stairs and the whole yellow plant room had been decorated with game day colors showing support for Gryffindor. The Hufflepuff Common Room had erupted with pride. Rose and Bridget smiled as they watched Cedric proudly cheering from the corner.

"Don't worry Ced," Bridget yelled through cupped hands over her mouth "When it's Hufflepuff's turn we'll be rooting for you!"

Cedric fist pumped in the air in positive response to Bridget.

Rose laughed and together her Bridget and Bellamy made their way towards the stadium. Suddenly Rose bumped into someone harshly- a girl with brown hair pulled back in a ponytail wearing a Slytherin uniform was sneering at Rose. Rose looked her up and down.

"Pansy." Bridget said slowly walking up next to Rose.

"Hogwarts isn't a place for people like you." Pansy replied airly while looking at Rose.

Rose could feel her blood boiling.

"I don't know why anyone is waiting around for your special prophecy anyway," the girl, Pansy, continued "We all know you're a Mud-Blood."

Rose's eyes widened in disbelief. She opened her mouth to say something but was stopped by a voice.

"Pansy…." Professor Snape had emerged from the shadows and Rose averted her eyes. Ever since last year, Rose had felt extremely uncomfortable around Snape.

Pansy smirked at Rose and wandered off with the rest of the Slytherins with Snape trailing slowly behind.

"Who was that?" Rose asked Bridget.

"Pansy Parkinson. Slytherin. I know you don't think Draco Malfoy's that bad but Pansy is." Bridget said.

"She's straight out of line!" Rose exclaimed "Did you see how calmly she called me a Mud-blood and weak to my face?"

Bridget nodded supportively, "Like I said, she's vile.

Bridget took hold of Rose's arm and tried to lead her away from the scene. Rose continued shaking her head in disbelief. She'd always gotten a lot of flack from Harry for thinking Draco wasn't that bad. She couldn't explain it- she just had a feeling. Like, Draco couldn't help being the way he was- he probably got like that from family.

"I can't believe you're taking his side," Is what Harry yelled at her after a fight he'd had with Draco.

"I'm not taking sides!" Rose tried to justify, "I'm just trying to give you perspective! Have pity!"

"I don't have pity for anyone who pushes me around Rose," Harry sneered at her, "He stays away from you because you're older and he's scared."

Rose decided to drop the matter for the moment. Even Fred and George didn't quite like when Rose brought up her opinion on Draco so she just kept it to herself.

Pansy, however, gave Rose a different feeling. A feeling of a pit of fire in her stomach. It was Pansy's entitlement that bothered Rose the most.

Rose tried to cheer up as she joined Bellamy and Cedric in the Hufflepuff corner of the stadium.

Rose payed close attention. Fred and George were in action as the beaters.

Rose felt she hadn't been watching for long when Bellamy had tugged on her shirt sleeve. Bellamy pointed to Harry.

Rose's face creased in concern. His broom was going out of control. It was spinning left and right. Rose gasped. Without thinking she pushed through the crowd to the front of the stadium. Cedric tried to pull her back.

"HELP!" Rose screamed and McGonagall looked over to where Rose was pointing "IT'S HIS BROOM!"

Rose saw a flash of blonde hair and Lockhart made his way on to the lawn.

"Bloody hell," Rose muttered and walked down the steps following Lockhart who was staring up at Harry's broom.

"Make it stop!" Rose screamed. Lockhart was holding his wand up as he desperately tried to get a hold of the broom. Finally, the broom came to a halt in the air and then crashed down on the ground.

"Harry!" Rose said.

The game had officially stopped and people were gathering around her Harry and Lockhart. From the corner of her eye Rose could see Pansy snickering. She clenched her fist inside her pocket.

Lockhart held up one of Harry's arms and Hermione gasped. It was as if they'd lost their bones.

"Off to the hospital," Professor McGonagall instructed.

"But, who won?" Pansy asked from the corner. McGonagall took a quick glance at the scoreboard.

Harry stood up and looked like he was gonna be sick. Rose stood up to help him but instead he threw up nothing other than the snitch. His one wobbly hand had managed to stick out just in time to catch it.

McGonagall smiled with pride. "Gryffindor," She answered to a highly annoyed Pansy.

Rose waited in the hospital ward next to Harry while Madame Pomfrey brewed up a potion to help with his arms. Fred and George were seated on the other side of the bed.

"Rose, there's some stuff I have to tell you," Harry said once everyone had left.

"Yeah?" Rose asked.

"Hermione and I we've been reading in the library and we think we found out that the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago and a student was killed." Harry whispered.

"Who was it?" Rose whispered, "Harry promise me you won't do anymore snooping. You already promised." Rose exclaimed and tossed her hands in the air.

"Rose, we're so close to figuring out, please, have faith in me…"

Harry stopped talking and him and Rose both turned their heads around when they heard a wrinkling of a curtain. Rose stood up and grabbed her wand even though she knew it was useless and that her powers would be probably be extremely weak. Her stomach turned as the noise grew louder until finally- a house elf popped out from the curtain.

"Dobby!" Harry snapped.

"What's a Dobby?" Rose sighed in relief when she realized Harry knew who the creature was.

"He's a house elf," Harry explained, "He tried to keep me from coming to Hogwarts." Rose stood back and watched the exchange between Harry and the elf happen.

The elf turned towards her.

"So nice to meet you Ms. Potter you look like your Mum."

Rose hesitantly shook Dobby's outstretched hand. Rose backed into the wall as Dobby came up to her.

"Ms. Potter mustn't let Harry stay at Hogwarts it isn't safe."

"Dobby GO!" Harry pointed out the door of the hospital ward.

"Harry I don't like this," Rose said and then paused turning slowly towards Dobby as an epiphany seemed to hit her, "Dobby did you jinx Harry's broom today?"

Dobby cowered in a response that seemed to demonstrate that he had. Rose pulled out her wand but Harry held up his hand.

"Dobby it's time to go now."

Dobby hung his head and tried to make his way out the door before he turned around and warned Harry in a way that sent shivers up Rose's spine:

"Harry Potter has been warned."

"Whose elf was that?" Rose asked as she sat next to Harry.

"Malfoy's." Harry snapped.

"Was he the elf that was stealing your letters?" Rose asked. Harry nodded.

"Harry if you don't stay out of this I'm going to Dumbledore." Rose stood up at the end of Harry's bed.

"What, Rose, you can't!" He exclaimed.

"Harry you are my one brother the one brother I have left," Rose paused for a deep breath, "Listen, I know you're talented and destined bur you're only 12. There's something dark in the Chamber Harry. Listen to the signs around you. Blood on the walls, a house elf trying to protect you. A place where a student was killed…" Rose looked like she was going to faint, "I am your older sister Harry and I have to protect you. If I find out about any more snooping Harry I'm going to Dumbledore."

Harry looked at Rose with pursed lips. "Then I won't tell you anything."

Rose felt a sharp pain a pain that was the hurt words beings tossed around by a loved one go straight through her heart.

"Don't say that Harry." Rose said softly before she slowly walked out of the hospital ward back to the Hufflepuff Common Room.
