You and Draco separate as he headed to Slytherin table and you to Gryffindor. "Hey guys!"

"Hi. What did Dumbledore want to speak with you about?"

"Oh, um he wasn't there. Draco and my father were. You should have seen his face when he found out I was not a Slytherin. He's now trying to convince Dumbledore to put me in Slytherin. Oh, and we can openly be friends, Draco shouldn't give us to much trouble."

"Why?"

"My father wants me to pretend to be your friend and spy on you."

"But, what will you say when he wants information?"

"Nothing important. I mean he is my father and I love him, but he can be a bit of an ars, you know. I don't know why he wants me to do this."

"Well, we'll stick up for you." Hermione said giving you a side hug.
You, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were walking down the hall when you saw a familiar face talking to Draco.

"Hold on, I'll be right back, okay?" you ran up the hall and stopped behind your old childhood friend. "Hey, Pansy!"

"Not now, I… Rose!!" Pansy turned and pulled you into a tight hug. "When did you get back from Canada?!"

"Oh, weeks ago. How have you been?"

"Good. But are you starting schooling hear?"

"Yes. But I'm in Gryffindor I know it sucks."

"Well, I don't care, you are still my B.F.F."

"So my garden of flowers is back together!!" Draco said putting his arm around both of you.

"Shut up, Draco!" you both said then giggled.

"Fine!" Draco walked away.

"Guess what!"

"What?"

"Draco asked me to the dance next weekend!!"

"There's a dance?"

"Yes, a ball."

"So, Did you finally get my brother's eye?"

"Yes, we have been together for a year."

"Congratulations!!"

"Thanks! Well, I have to go catch up to him. See ya around!!"

"Bye." You skipped back over to your new Gryffindor friends.

"Was that Pansy you hugged?"

"Yes, why? We grew up together. And did you know there was a Ball next weekend?"

"Yes. And that reminds me, Harry, I have to show you something in the Library!" Hermione said grabbing Harry's arm and pulling him with her.

"What was that about?"

Ron Shrugged, "Um, Rose, will you go t-to the B-ball with me?"

you started to blush, "Sh-sure!"

"Really?"

"Yes."

Later that day. You sat under a willow reading a book Hermione had loaned you. "Hey, little sis!"

"Draco! You know I hate that nick-name!"

"Sorry, hey this is my friend Blaize, Blaize, my sister Rose."

"Hi!"

"Hello beautiful!" he said kissing your hand. "I was wondering if you would like to go to the Ball with me?"

"Oh, erm, I-I already have a date."

"With WHO?" Draco asked startled.

"Ron Weasly."

"WHAT?!!? YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT LITTLE…"

"Draco! Stop flipping out!! Ron asked me, and remember what Daddy said?"

"But, this is different!"

"I would go with him but Ron was the first to ask me! Blaze, I will save a dance for you, if you want."

"Sure." You smile at him, close the book and walk back to the Gryffindor Common room.

"Hey, I herd you and Ron are going to the Ball." Harry said as you walked in.

"Ya. Draco's not too happy though. He wants me to go with a Slytherin kid named Blaze."

"Well, I'm glad you are going with Ron, he likes you, a lot."

You start to blush. "Really? Because I like him too."

The day of the Dance.

You and Hermione were up in your room getting ready. Hermione had her hair up in a messy bun with two curls going down her cheeks. She had a red and gold dress on. You had a green and silver dress on that you had gotten before your had been sorted, back when you thought you were going to be in Slytherin. You pulled your blond hair up into a half bun, letting soft curls lick at your neck, shoulders and back. Hermione was going with a guy from Ravenclaw so she ran down and past Harry and Ron who waited for you and Ron's sister Ginny. When you got down their Harry and Ginny were walking away on their way to the great hall. Ron looked at you wide-eyed.

"Like what you see?" you asked flashing him a smile.

"Y-ya."

You took his arm and let him lead you to the great hall. You immediately pulled him out to the dance floor. You danced for hour's strait and he suggested that you and him go out to the gardens for fresh air. You agree and walk out with him.

"Rose?"

"Yes Ron?"

"I-I-I-I want t-to ask you if y-you'd like t-to be my g-girlfriend?"

You look at him and smile. "Yes." You said leaning in to kiss him. His lips touch yours and your hart starts to sing and the butterflies in your stomach flutter. He put his arms around you and your fingertips gently touch his cheek as he deepens the kiss.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WEASEL?! GET OFF MY SISTER!!" Draco shouted. He pulled you away from Ron.

"Draco, what are you doing?!"

"Back off Malfoy!"

"I want you to stay away from my sister!"

"And… if I don't?"

"You'll…"

"DRACO!! Stop trying to protect me!!"

"Rose, I don't want you to…"

"Draco, maybe I like him, did you ever think of that?"

"Potty's weasel? You can't be serious!"

"So what if I am? You're not going to make me sad and depressed again, are you?"

"Father…"

"Screw what Father thinks. I don't care anymore. I'm sixteen; I can make my own decisions!! Draco, please, let me do what I want."

Draco looked at you and sighed. "Okay, but I'm warning you, Weasly, if you hurt my sister, it won't be pretty."

"Draco! Go back inside to poor Pansy!"

He turned to go. And you walked over to Ron.

"Sorry about that, Ron."

"It's okay… Did you say screw what father thinks'?!"

"I said that, yes. I told you he could be a bit of an ars! He's way too protective over me and I have never done what I wanted before. I always tried to please him. Even the reason he sent me to Canada isn't what he thinks."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, that year Draco and I had started a small war of pranks, and he pulled a prank on me that turned my skin green and hair blue for a week, so naturally I wanted to get him back with the ultimate prank. Unfortunately Dad was the one who triggered my prank and he, well; he was the one who Turned into a small red, green, blue and yellow Ferret that was locked in a cage instead of Draco. I was punished by being sent to a Wizard school in Canada that was to teach me to be a proper lady, as well as magic. I was only nine."

Ron laughed. I wish it would have been your brother that turned into that!! So, you have had a extra year of schooling?"

"Yes. I'm quite advanced."
