I do not own anything besides Rosemary and Darcy, and some of the story line!

The year was progressive. I studied when I felt like it, which wasn't often. That was one thing James and I had in common, we never studied. The difference though was that I didn't actually need to study. I was one of those lucky ones where I could just pay attention and write down notes and instantly soak up the information. I had become closer to Regulus, Lily, and Remus. Regulus wasn't a fan of them because of their blood status, but he never really complained. He also became my study buddy when I did study. Sirius though, he found out I was hanging around his brother, and he wasn't happy. And James wasn't happy that I was hanging out with a Slytherin, he didn't care who it was, other then the fact it was a Slytherin.

"Hey Rosie," Sirius said suddenly appearing next to me on the bench in the courtyard. Rosie, that was the nickname Sirius had made for me, I hated it.

I rolled my eyes, closing my History of Magic book. "What do you want now?"

"No hello," he asked. I just stared at him blankly. "Okay, so no hello. Listen I just wanted to talk to you, how are you?"

"No Sirius, you never just want to talk." Sirius and I both looked up to see Regulus standing behind Sirius. "Rosemary doesn't want to talk to you Sirius, leave her alone."

"You speak for her Reggie?"

"No, she speaks for herself. But obviously you're too thick to realize she has been telling you to leave her alone almost all year, so maybe if I told you as well you might register it."

Sirius stood up fuming. "What's gotten into you? All this pure-blood mania, you really listen to them, the lot of them. They're wrong, blood is not everything."

"Funny," Regulus said with his expressionless face. "How did you manage to go from talking about who speaks for Rosemary to blood statuses?"

Without another word Sirius left the courtyard leaving just me, Regulus, and a few others on the other side of the courtyard. I rolled my eyes again, "Boys."

Regulus sat next to me as I began opening my book once more. "Schools almost over for the summer," he spoke.

"Yes, any exciting plans?" I asked him not once looking away from my book.

"I'm just going home, you?"

"Going my James's, my parents won't be home as always."

"Come to my home, my mother will love you."

I closed my book, "I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Why not, it would be fun."

I sighed, "Regulus I don't want to. I understand that blood status is important to you, but it's not to me. And just that fact that I'm a pure-blood does not mean I want to go and meet your family and listen to them insult my friends."

"Why do you hang around with those…people? The blood traitors and the half-breeds, you're so much better."

That made me angry, what right did he have to say such things? "Better then them? In what way, blood doesn't matter in anything! Doesn't make you better at school, or flying, or anything! So what if you're a pure-blood doesn't make you any better. And go ahead, say I'm not worthy of my blood status, I don't care. Call me a blood traitor. The whole pure blood mania is ridiculous!" I about screamed that at him, but I barely managed to keep my voice as low and calm as possible. I knew I was angry, so I didn't bother to wait for him to reply. I quickly gathered my things and ran towards my room.

I stormed into the Gryffindor common room after giving the password. I dropped down onto the couch next to Darcy Rachen, a first year Gryffindor as well, and a good friend of mine. She raised her eyebrow, "Sirius again?"

"Ugh, more like the Black brothers. If you ask me they are both trouble!"

"What happened now?"

"Well first I was just sitting in the courtyard, studying for History of Magic right? Just minding my own business, then there comes Sirius. And he uses that nickname, Rosie, and comes to talk to me about Regulus again!"

"Did he actually come to talk to you about Regulus?"

"Well….not really, Sirius claimed he just wanted to talk."

"But…"

"But, Regulus interrupted in a way. He told his brother he never just wanted to talk to anyone. Next thing I knew they were arguing over me, then about blood-status's. Sirius was so mad, he ran off without a good bye!"

"Arguing over you?"

"Well, yeah in a way. They were arguing over who speaks for me or something of that topic. I don't know! Darcy the Black brothers are confusing. So then Regulus began talking about me about spending some time with him over the summer. Meeting his family and such, you know?"

"And did you say yes? You know what I think of the Black brothers, both of them are gorgeous."

I glared at her, "I said no."

"And why would you do a thing like that? From what I can tell they both just want you love."

"Oh Merlin, no, Darcy, that's terrible. You know Regulus is my best friend, other then you. Well, at least he was my best friend. We got into a fight."

"About what?"

"I got mad, about him and his pure-blood mania. He hates anyone who isn't a pure-blood, and pure-bloods who speak with muggle borns and half bloods. So I told him I wasn't changing who I was, I love my friends regardless of blood."

"And so you told him, what did he have to say about that?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know?" She laughed, "So he might not be mad?"

"Oh, he is probably mad. I practically told him his family was deranged!"

She patted my head, "Don't fret, all will be well soon. Some how I get the feeling Regulus will be forgiving you by tomorrow."

"Oh, and how would you know?"

"I can see the future," she winked.

I rolled my eyes, "It's getting late."

"Merlin, we forgot about dinner."

"Well I'm not that hungry," I said standing up and stretching. "Honestly, I'm more tired then anything, so I'll see you in the morning."

"Good night Rosemary."

As I walked towards the stairs to the girls dorms James and Remus walked in, "Rosemary!"

I stopped, took a deep sigh, and turned towards my cousin and friend. "Yes James, what is it?"

"Sirius seemed angry, did you say something to him?"

"Have you asked him? I'm tired! I just want to sleep right now."

"We asked, he just grunted and changed the subject."

"And you assumed I had something to do with it?"

"Well, you are some how always in the mi with Regulus."

I rolled my eyes, "good night." And I left them downstairs so I could sleep.

The last next few weeks went by like a breeze. Regulus hadn't talked to me really, he just looked at me, it made me feel weird. Sirius was about the same, only he completely ignored my existence. But now the school year had finally ended, and we were finally going home. I sat in a compartment with Darcy, enjoying the scenery passing by outside the window. "Just think," Darcy began. "We won't be the youngest next year."

I smiled, "You enjoy that thought?"

"I do, I could find myself a slave next year." I rolled my eyes, then heard the compartment door open. There stood Regulus. Darcy looks at him, then back at me, then proceeding to stand up. "I just remembered something, I'll be back!" I wanted her to stay and help me through this, but of course she left me here.

He cleared his throat as soon as Darcy was gone. "Do you mind if I join you?"

"Go ahead, plenty of room."

He sat across from me, "thank you." An awkward silence fell between us, I tried to keep my attention on the scenes outside from the passing landscape. "Rosemary…can we talk please?"

"I'm listening," I said not taking my eyes away from the window.

"I know you don't like my families beliefs, and you don't want to change who you are, and that's why I want to apologize. I've been thinking a lot, and you are a good friend to me. I now see that just because you and I do not see eye to eye on our beliefs, I still want you as my friend. And I promise that I won't judge you for who you hold as a friend."

I glanced at him questionably. "What if I chose to be friends with your brother?"

He scoffed, "fat chance. You hate my brother."

I smiled, "I don't exactly hate that git, just a strong dislike."

There you go! So is anyone pissed at the fact that Eclipse out did Harry Potter in the MTV movie awards? Obviously society is going down hill, it's just so disappointing.

Anywho, review? :D
