Chapter Three: Work, Work and more Work!
ROSE'S POV
Rose was singe and likes thing just the way they are. Nothing but her, her books and her work. She doesn't give a dam about all the boys that go week at the knees when they see her, she doesn't give a dam about all the love notes that get given to her –she usually burns them and she doesn't give a dam about the relationships her 'friends' and cousins are in –of cause she cares for her cousins in fact she would probably incinerate anyone who would hurt them.
In the DA Rose had been put in charge of the collection of information and intelligence that they could act on at the end of the previous year when they had decided that the rebels where serous and that it was safe to assume that Hogwarts was a target. Sure she could fight if it came to it -she could use fire expressly well- but the library was where she belonged just like her mother. Her brother was just as clever if not more but he was a boy and preferred to fight with magic and not intelligence –he was more like their dad in that respect.
One night she was sitting with Lilly and Hugo doing their homework trying not to get distracted, when a paper airplane flew down the stairs and landed on her lap. Rose opened it up didn't bother reading it as she knew that it contained some soppy love letter, she only took note of the name, strike XIII for 'Tim B'
"God dam it Tim it's only the third day of the year," she said and put her wand to it.
"No, Rosie I want to rub it in his face," Fred said flying at Rose but his expression fell as it landed on her knees in ashes
Albus joined Fred at his side "Tim again. Hum can't get enough of himself. Probably see's you as a prize, getting the most beautiful girl in the year has got to be some sort of achievement for him. Before you say anything you are," Albus said. He always said that, Rose felt that was just to make her feel good about herself.
Al was probably her best friend -aside from her books- it does sound 'sad' that her only best friends where her brother and cousins but that was where she felt most comfortable apart form in the library they were the only people who excepted her for who she is and not what she looks like.
"You know what he has a point Rose," Leah said
"Oh come on Rosie put on more of a show," a group of boys shouted down the stairs
Leah turned around and fired some sparks up the stairs which was quickly followed by a lot of boy yelling in pain and running down the stairs where Albus and Fred where waiting and rugby tackled the one named Tim and pinned him against the wall, they whispered something in his ear Rose couldn't hear what they were saying but he clearly did as he ran off with his tail between his legs.
