Rose woke up early the next morning and smiled knowing she was one step closer to saving Harry from all the pain. Quickly she got dressed in a pair of jeans and a purple t-shirt. Heading down to breakfast she saw Hermione reading a book as always. Shaking her head, she made her way towards her and grabbed Hermiones' book. "Hey! Give that back." "Fine, don't even thank me from saving you from running smack into the wall. Ungrateful girl." Rose tossed the book back at her and Hermione caught it. Rose sat down and buttered her toast. It wasn't even five minutes later when Hermione shuffled over to the place where Rose was eating by herself.

"Um… thank you. I didn't mean to sound rude… it's just not many…" Hermione seemed to be struggling with what to say and Rose laughed. "Not many people are kind to you, are they?" She shook her head. "It's alright I get it. I once had someone call me and insufferable know it all and he was from a different house in America. I get it. You have no Idea how similar you and I are." Rose smiled at her past self Hermione and couldn't help but know she was still so innocent compared to herself and planned to keep it that way. She finished her toast and was about to leave when she turned around to see Hermione reading her book by herself. "Hey Hermione…" she looked up from her book.

"How would you like to go on an adventure. I can't guarantee you will get out without some scratches but it's for the greater good." Hermione bit her lip looking unsure. "Look if you decide to you can bring Ron and Harry. Meet me down in the potions classroom if you want to. We will be leaving in 10 minutes." Rose left and headed down to the classroom. On the way, down she saw a few Slytherin trickling out of the dorm to get breakfast. Before long breakfast would be in full swing and a few students wouldn't be missed.

She had just about reached the door when she heard her name being called by three voices. She smiled knowing Hermione couldn't resist. "Hello Hermione, Harry, Ron. I'm so glad you decided to come along. Come on we have to meet with Severus." Harry and Ron froze on the spot. "Snape… Hermione you never told us that you just said it was for the war against Voldemort," said Harry. "Harry I'm sorry I didn't tell her everything because I knew you wouldn't want to come. Please forgive me," said Rose.

She opened the door to reveal Severus but also Sirius. "Sirius!" shouted Harry. He ran up and hugged his godfather. Rose smiled as she leaned against the door. She was happy to be able to see Harry was happy. Hermione poked Rose and she looked to see Hermione had that knowing shine in her eyes. "You knew he would be, here didn't you?" Rose just smiled and walked up to Severus. "I hope you don't mind I brought a few people to help us." Severus looked like he was about to kill Rose but sighed and covered his eyes with his hand. "Rose, why did you bring them? I told you it would be just us." "I'm sorry Severus, but we have no idea what we will find there, and we may need some help."

Severus looked ready to retort but gave an exasperated sigh instead. "Fine, but Potter stays here with Black. He must practice Occlumency. As surprised as I am to say it Black has been quite quick to pick up Occlumency." Harry looked confused. "What's Occlumency?" asked Ron. "Occlumency is the ability to block others out of your mind and will come in handy for if any of you come face to face with Voldemort. He can read your mind and any information that you have. So, until you learn how to control it only Hermione and Ron can come with us," said Rose.

Harry was about to argue when Sirius put his hand on Harry. "Harry please just listen to them. I promise you they want to help you," said Sirius. Harry looked between a scowling Snape and smiling Rose. He finally nodded and walked away with Sirius. Once they were out Severus spun around on the three. He looked livid. Ron and Hermione took a step back. "Now Miss Black didn't I say it would be just you and me. I don't need a Weasley and another Gra…" Severus stopped himself and cleared his through only to continue. "Another insufferable know it all." "Sir, you know as well as I do we don't know what to expect so it is best to have some help. Besides aren't they notorious for walking into trouble."

"Fine! But if there are any problems it will be on you. Weasley get over here and hold on. Granger you hold onto Rose," barked Snape. The two-grabbed hold of their designated travel buddies. Ron looked ready to gag at having to be next to Snape. The next moment they felt as if they were being pulled through space. What was mere seconds later the four of them landed just outside of Little Haggleton. Ron dropped to his knees and emptied his stomach. "What was that?" he asked. "That my dear Ronald was apparition. Considering your reaction, I take it you have never apparated before," said Rose. He shook his head and Rose looked at him and grinned. "Well some witches and wizards have lost ears and eyebrows for apparating wrong so never try it on your own unless you have the right people around you," she said.

Ron looked ready to say something else, but Snape grabbed him roughly and pulled him into a standing position. "If you are done chatting we really should get going. I don't want to be out more than I have to." Ron was about to object when Hermione kicked him. The four traveled down the dirt road towards the gaunt house.
