An explanation.
"I know how you must be feeling harry-"Dumbledore began.
"HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH" Harry yelled back.
"Harry calm down, yelling at people won't bring Rose back, why don't you sit down and tell us what happened" Sirius comforted.
"I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT, IT'S TOO PAINFUL, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Harry screamed.
I heard voices in the distant, one of them sounded angry, but my head was hurting too much to pay attention. Where am I? I thought in my head. I can't be dead if I can hear these voices that sound so real. Or can I?
Harry sat down on the uncomfortable plastic chair and felt tears well up in his eyes. He could not believe she was gone. He had only just met her yet already she was gone from his life. And it was his entire fault. Why did he have to start such a silly argument, she was right it was none of his business anyway. He thought desperately back to the last thing he had said to her. His heart dropt like a stone as he remembered.
FLASHBACK:
"So are you and George off out now then?" Harry casually asked Rose.
"None of your business" Rose blushed.
"Oh come on, you're my twin sister! You're supposed to tell me everything" He teased. Rose took it seriously and paused. She stopped to look at him.
"I don't have to tell you anything if I don't want to Harry" Rose whispered fiercely.
"Yeah but I would have thought you'd tell me something like this though! How can I trust you to tell me anything important if you don't trust me."
"Well if you don't think you can trust me then…" Rose began.
"Then what?" Harry prompted.
"Then…just go away I don't need you. I only met you a few months ago for goodness sake! How do you expect me to tell me everything?"
"FINE THEN. I DON'T NEED YOU ANYWAY" Harry shouted at her.
"OKAY THEN. GOODBYE HARRY POTTER. IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU!"
Rose walked off into the dark wood.
He started sobbing uncontrollably. Why was he such an idiot? He could have told her how much she meant to him. How lucky he was. He realised he never told her he loved her.
I felt a sheet over my body. It smelt of hospitals. How could I be dead when I can smell, I thought to myself desperately. Someone was sobbing, it was getting closer. It sounded so real, so close. I tried to lift my arm, but it felt so heavy it wouldn't move. I felt a familiar tickling feeling in my nose. I sneezed…
Harry heard a sneezing noise, he looked round but everybody had left the ward. He stared in disbelief at Rose's still body, which was under a clean white sheet. He saw a small movement, so small he could have easily imagined it. Rose's arm stretched out and pulled the sheet back. He must be imagining this. It couldn't be true. Rose was dead, Harry had to accept that. But now here she was attempting to sit up, with her eyes semi open.
"Wha- what's going on? Where am I? Who, wh-who are you?" Rose said softly. Harry stared in horror.
"No, no, you're dead." Harry whispered.
"Who are you?" Rose repeated, squinting at Harry.
"Don't you recognise me? I don't understand." Harry stood up." Sirius" Harry called out. He must be going insane. The healers had told him she was dead only half an hour ago. Harry saw his godfather poke his head round the corner.
"What is-"Sirius was cut off when a look of pure astonishment stuck across his face. Rose was now sitting up and staring at the two figures in her ward.
"Sirius?" Rose whispered. Everything suddenly came flooding back to Rose. Tears rolled down her cheeks, why wasn't she dead. A tall man, with a long beard and crystal blue eyes, that seemed to pierce ones soul with one look. Dumbledore.
"Ah, I see you have finally woken up, I had a feeling that you might sooner or later." Dumbledore said, with a small chuckle.
" WHAT YOU KNEW ALL ALONG, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" Harry began shouting once more.
"Harry, Harry, Harry, I didn't want to make an old fools mistake by getting your hopes up. Even I can be wrong sometimes." Dumbledore said calmly, taking a seat on the uncomfortable plastic chair around Rose's bed." I suppose you want an explanation." Dumbledore sighed.
" YOUR DAMN RIGHT I WANT AN EXPLANATION, AND I WANT IT NOW!" Harry shouted in the old mans face.
"Well it all began 15 years ago, on the 31st October…"
FLASHBACK:
"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off ------"
"Not Harry and Rose, not the children, please not the children!"
"Stand aside you silly girl … stand aside now."
"Not Harry and Rose, please no, take me, kill me instead ----- Not Harry and Rose! Please … have mercy … have mercy… "
END OF FLASHBACK.
"So on the night your parent's were killed, Lilly cast a love protection over both of you by giving her life for both of you, when Voldemort cast the killing curse it only hit Harry and did not touch Rose, so Harry was left with a scar on his forehead and Rose was left unscathed. Tonight that love protection was still working and did not kill Rose, just made it seem like she was dead." Dumbledore explained carefully.
Rose gulped. She had wanted to ask this question for a while now. "Professor, why did I then end up in an orphanage when Harry went to the Dursleys?" Rose asked timidly.
" Ah yes, well you see after the attack, we decided that it was not safe for both of you to live together, after that we struggled to find a place for miss Potter to live, our only safe option was the orphanage." Dumbledore said.
"Then why after all these years, have we finally met, why not when I first started Hogwarts?" Harry asked, now calmer then before.
"Well Mr Potter, not all questions can be answered today, but when you are ready I promise I will tell you." Dumbledore said.
Harry let it all sink in. He slowly turned to Rose. It was like meeting her for the first time all over again. He could not find any words to say and he wanted to run away.
"Well I'll just leave you two to talk things over, I am sure the Weasleys will be coming to visit as soon as they hear you alive and well." Dumbledore walked out.
"I was really worried about you Rose, It is unbelievable that your alive, I-I, I love you" Sirius stammered and walked out blushing.
"Hey you, how are you feeling" Rose said weakly.
"Never mind me; you're the one who's just come back from the dead!" Harry said. Rose laughed softly. Suddenly, the door burst open and the Weasleys burst in.
Everyone began talking at once but a certain tall red headed boy fought through the crowded area and headed to Rose.
"Oh my Gosh I thought you were dead, I thought I would never get to speak to you again, never tell you how I really feel about you, I think I'm in love with you Rose Potter." George said all at once shocking Rose. Rose lifted her head up and smiled as George lent down to kiss her, there lips brushed and they kissed softly, everyone in the room was awestruck and happily began talking as the young couple began talking.
