My fifth week at Hogwarts in year 7 was definitely a time of my life where letters were involved. At the time I thought that I should kill all owls to stop the dreadful problem of mail. I'm pretty sure that if I hadn't gotten any letter that week would have turned out much different. Not that week was good or bad it was just a week were you wanted things to work out different than they did.
Thomas Justin had been flirted with me all potion lesson. So obviously he asked me out. I smiled cheekily at him and said I would think about. I wouldn't through I would go with him to Hogsmeade. He was cute, intelligent and into the same Quidditch team as me. What else would you want in a guy? I was in my usual habitat- the library- When Thomas walked up to me.
"Hey" I greeted him smiling.
"Um, Rose I've had I think about it and I just don't think that we should date." He gushed out to me before practically running out of the library.
My mind went through all the potential cadets that would do this. I remembered that Malfoy was in my Potion class and just happened to be glaring at a certain suitor -well- no longer suitor. I slammed the book I was reading shut and my eyes narrowed. I walked calmly out of the Library already knowing where I would find him. I walked into Malfoy's favourite corridor hoping that he hadn't managed to force his tongue down any poor girl's throat. Luckily for me he hadn't.
"Malfoy." I yelled in what I hope is an imitating voice.
He looked up startled from his book I saw a glimpse of the letter Q sliding out from the book. He was using the play of the book to look smart. I should mention that one of the most commonly used plays guys use in Hogwarts to convince girls his smart by looking like his reading a book when really his just reading a Quidditch magazines.
"Ah, I knew I'd be seeing you Rose. Also aren't we supposed to be friends now and doesn't that mean you have to call me by my first name?" He asked.
"What would you like me to call you Scorp or Scorpios?" I asked sarcastically.
"Scorp is fine." He replied ignoring my tone.
"Also you should know that he didn't deserve you and that is why I persuaded him to change his mind about asking you out. Friends look out for each other." He continued thoughtfully.
"Aww that's so sweet." I cooed. He smiled looking jubilant.
"Just never to it again." I ended turning my back on him before storming down the corridor.
When I got back to the library not matter how much I tried to concentrate the words somehow got jumbled up between the process of reading them and understanding them so incidentally I went to bed. I woke up to hear the sound of soft weeping. I quickly rubbed my eyes and tried to pin point the noise. I drew back the curtain to see an extremely sad looking girl who goes by the name of Royal.
"Why does Albus never notice me, why?" Royal gasped out slightly muffled between her sobs. I encircled her into my arms and whispered soothing words in her ear. Frankly through I'm not the best at containing my feelings about my cousins so my soothing words were "His the bloodiest git in the world and I'm going to make sure that he realises that he could find any better girl in the world . Jerk. Stupid freaking Potter. Git faced friend of a Malfoy." and so on. On the bright side I got strange hiccup sound every once in a while. Slowly she fell asleep on my damp shoulder I tucked her into bed before stumbling in my own and falling asleep soundlessly.
It felt like my head had only just hit the pillow when the noise of four actually three girls getting ready for school woke me up. I felt like the explosion had hit me, again when I realised that there was only three girls getting ready not four. Paige was gone because I couldn't stop Me from detonating the bomb. I closed my eye thinking about how much worse it could it could have been. Paige wasn't the only person to be pulled out of Hogwarts by nervous parents but imagine if they hadn't been pulled out; imagine if they weren't with us because the explosion had killed them. I shuffled around the room in a state of depression hoping that I didn't mess up anything up important like wearing my silly PJ bottoms on instead of a skirt. I looked down as I exited my dorm room. Nope I had managed to put a skirt, point one for me. When sat down opposite a radiant Lily and starting munching at an apple.
"My dear Rosie, you know you look a woeful mess don't you?" She asked before continuing on leaving me no time to reply.
"Isn't woeful such a fantastic word. I mean woe-full it's like bloody wicked as no one would want to be full woe." Lily was making me feel even worse because of how happy she was so I dropped the apple and picked up my bags and walked over to a much more depressed looking Albus.
"Why does every girl I get with ask if I'm going to only use them once?" Was the greeting I got when I sat down. I have to say through it wasn't that bad he once had greeted me by throwing orange juice at me so you could say that I pleasantly surprised.
"Maybe Al because it's a good question and you kind of has a reputation of being a player." I replied logically.
"Yes but it's undermining I don't want to think about tomorrow if something interesting is happening today." He announced clearly annoyed.
"Actually Rose I've changed my mind were not having this conversation. You are too innocent to hear my views of the opposite s- um-gender." Al told me.
"Al you've told me about stuff thousands of times just to annoy me why are you worrying about stuff like this now?" I asked as my eyebrows rose.
"Because that was before I realised that you talk to my sister and I don't want her to lose any of her innocent beauty like you." I spat the sip of apple juice I had just taken back into the cup. Lily innocent if anything she knew about this stuff than me. I letter dropped onto my plate interrupting what I was about to say.
I opened it up.
Rose, my darling niece
I heard from Albus that you've made a friend with Scorpios. I just want to say that I fully support you and ignore whatever rubbish your father sends you.
Love Ginny
P.S give my love to Scorpios.
Just as I finished reading the letter another one dropped on my plate.
ROSE JEAN WEASLEY
HOW DARE YOU MAKE FRIENDS WITH A MALFO! YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE MISSY. YES THAT MEANS I'M GROUNDING YOU. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO ANYWHERE OFF THE SCHOOL GROUNDS FOR A MONTH EXCEPT IF YOU occasionally want go to Hogsmeade and get your good old pop some of those delicious chocolate frogs (your mother has put me on one of her ridiculous diets again did you know that these one doesn't let me have any sweets, she won't even allow me to have a light biscuit). Wait don't go to Hogsmeade they haven't caught the person behind the attacks yet, I don't want anything to happen to you. DON'T GO TO HOGSMEADE EVEN FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE BUT BACK TO THE PROBLEM I DON'T EXPECT TO HEAR ABOUT YOU AND THIS MALFOY BOY SOCIALISING AT ALL AND THAT MEANS NO TALKING OR NOTES OR EVEN LOOKING AT HIM. YOU ARE NOT TO MAKE EYE CONTACT EVERY AGAIN UNLESS YOU ARE SENDING A JINX IN HIS DIRECTION. ACTUALLY TELL ALBUS THAT SINCE IT'S HIS 'BEST FRIENDS' HE HAS TO JINX HIM FOR BEING FRIENDS WITH YOU.
I looked up Al just about to tell him about what dad had wrote when I saw see him snorting about whatever he was reading.
"Uncle Ron is so mad. Look what he sent me." Albus managed to say between laughing fits.
He passed over the letter to me.
ALBUS
SENDING A LETTER TO ROSE GAVE ME AN IDEA TO SEND THIS TO YOU.
YOU WERE THE BOY WHO BEFRIENDED THE MALFOY KID FIRST SO IT'S YOUR FAULT SINCE YOUR AT HOGWARTS AND ROSE'S COUSIN YOU MUST STOP THEM BEING FRIENDS. JINX HIM; SEND HIM TO THE HOSPITAL WING. THEY JUST CAN'T STAY FRIENDS. THEY CAN NOT STAY FRIENDS BECAUSE MALFOY WILL END UP HURTING HER.
TELL HIM I SAID THAT. I expect to hear from you soon with full details about how you are going to break them up, PERMENTLY.
Uncle Ron
"Wow, mum really has had a good influent on him look at his grammar." I said pointing to the letter. For some reason this sent Al into another bout of laughter. Sometimes really just don't get what goes on in my cousin's head. Of course that's if there anything in there at all.
When Al calmed down a bit he started talking like a normal person (without the giggling in the middle of the sentences).
"Your dad really thinks that I will follow out on this letter." Al said shaking his head at the ridiculous of it.
"You are you're going to tell Mal-Scorp that he can no longer talk to me or anything unless he wants to be jinxed." I answered flippant.
"Why would I do that?" Al asked confused.
"Because you will do what I tell you." I said pronouncing each syllable slowly and clearly.
"Okay" He replied care free digging into his breakfast the definition of guy in the dictionary should be idiot when presented with food. I started rubbing my head feeling a headache coming on. I had a feeling that today was not going to be a day I liked.
It was halfway through Transfiguration when Dora the house elf appeared on top of my text book. I shrieked; don't judge me you would as well.
"Sorry Miss I was told to deliver these to you." She whispered dropping a few of letters.
"Thank you Dora, you can go now." I said shakily.
"Yes Miss." With a soft poof she disappeared. Professor Beckshaw gave me a disapproving look before continuing on with his lecture. I stuffed the letters into my bag ignoring the raised eyebrow I got from Scorpios.
Sorry I haven't updated in ages.
