CHAPTER 3

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Instead, I have cats.

Poor Rose. I'm sick right now, which is why I made Rose suffer. Please review, it makes me feel better.

Just so y'all know, this chapter is short. As always. But i'm updating like every 30 minutes until i run out of already written material so it doesn't really matter. Lol... which is now. So review!

Also, thank you, LunaAliceAndRelient K, for your review. It made me smile. Know what else makes me smile? Ice cream. Just sayin'.

Rose rushed into the bathroom, running at full speed straight for the door. Once inside, she sat with her head in between her knees, breathing heavily until the nausea began to fade. As soon as she was sure the contents of her stomach were happily settled and not going anywhere, she headed back up to the Ravenclaw common room.

"Where would you find a bezoar?" asked the stone ravens in front of the doors.

"In a potions storage room," answered Rose. "Now let me in."

The ravens seemed to glare at her, but the doors opened just the same, parting to reveal what was now a giant party, streamers hanging from all directions, music blasting and a large group of students trying to do the worm.

Suddenly Rose felt someone grab her shoulder and she screamed, stomach lurching painfully, feeling embarrassed when she saw it was just Lily.

"Seriously, girl. You gotta calm down and relax," said Lily, laughing.

Rose looked strangely at her friend. "You aren't in Ravenclaw."

"Oh, we're stating the obvious now, are we? You aren't in Gryffindor."

"No," said Rose, rolling her eyes. "Why are you here?"

Lily held up five galleons. "You won the bet. Plus I heard there's a raging party going on."

"I know," sighed Rose. "It sucks."

By the time the party had died down to just a few people, it was 2 in the morning. Rose had tried to leave several times to go to sleep, hoping to feel better in the morning, but Lily had always dragged her back into the crowd.

Rose was just about to slip away to the cool dormitories when Lily strode to the front of the room, turned off the music, and announced that they were going to play truth or dare.

"Anyone who isn't a wimp should participate," Lily decided. "So Rose, time to go to bed."

Several people snickered.

"I am not a wimp," Rose retorted, clutching her stomach and wincing as her head throbbed. "Scorpius has to leave."

Giggles erupted from around the room.

"I'm not leaving," said Scorpius.

"Neither am I."

Lily nodded, looking satisfied with herself. "Okay, who wants to go first?"
