Lunch time came around and I was still in the Room of Requirements. I was starting to get hungry, so I slipped under the Invisibility Cloak and walked out of the room. I silently walked through the halls, which were thankfully empty, until I reached the great Hall. I was grateful that the doors were always left open, that way I wouldn't draw any attention to myself. I slowly walked up to the Gryffindor table and sat at the very end, unfortunately James chose to sit down the end too, so I was sitting right next to him, still under the Cloak. I saw Uncle Harry walk towards James, I decided I would listen in on their conversation, I know it's rude, but I wanted to know if they had noticed that I was gone yet.

"Dad." James greeted bitterly, I knew that tone of voice with James, and he only ever used it when he was really angry about something.

"James, have you seen Rose yet?" uncle Harry asked sounding concerned. I saw him looking around the Great Hall as if he was searching for someone, me, I guessed.

"What so you can yell at her again! You didn't even let her explain!" James snapped. I smiled to myself. Even when he didn't know I was there he still stood up for me, as he always did.

"I wanted to talk to her." Uncle Harry tried to explain. James obviously didn't want to hear it this time; he was starting to get angrier by the second for the look in his eyes.

"You know what; sometimes I wish you were only my professor, not my father." James stated. I saw the hurt look in Uncle Harry's eyes, and the anger blazing away in James's eyes. I put my hand lightly on James's one, so that he would know I was there, I squeezed his hand lightly. I saw James hold back a smile, and his eyes lose some of their anger as he squeezed my hand back.

"James, I'm sorry. If you see Rose, tell her I'm sorry, and that if she doesn't want to come back with us for the holidays, I completely understand." Uncle Harry stated sadly before walking away with his head down. I thought I saw a tear roll down from his eye before he turned away, but I wasn't sure.

After Uncle Harry left I stood up and tugged on James's hand for him to follow me. He stood up quickly and followed after me, making sure to hold my hand without looking like he was holding thin air. When we got to the hallway, James and I checked to make sure no one else was there before I took the Invisibility Cloak off. When James saw that it really was me, he wrapped me up in a hug and spun me around in the air. I smiled and hugged him back, while trying not to laugh at his antics.

"You okay Rose?" James asked after he set me down on my feet. I could hear the concern in his voice.

"Just peachy." I replied sarcastically. I smiled a little despite myself. Around James, I always seemed to be smiling.

"Rose." James said warningly. I looked at him and sighed softly.

"I'll live, everything is just going to be so different now, I don't really know what to do anymore." I stated sadly.

"What to talk about it?" James asked. I knew he was worried and I knew he would hear about it sooner or later, so I might as well be the one to tell him. I took his hand and led him to the Room of Requirements.

We sat on the couch facing each other. I had just finished telling James about everything that had happened, why Scorpius and I were no longer together, what happened with me and Kayla, and why I was so upset lately. Now James wouldn't talk to me, he could hardly even look at me. I carefully studied his face, afraid that he would hate me forever. He looked like he was in serious thought, which was normally a good thing, but in this case, I just didn't know what to expect. After what felt like forever, but was only really a few minutes, James spoke.

"Where was Roxanne in all of this? You only mentioned her on the ride back." James asked confused. I knew James liked Roxanne and Roxanne liked James, but they couldn't see it. Figures he would be the one to notice that I didn't mention Roxanne after the train ride.

"Uhhh...I don't really know, I mean she is in a different house, so I don't see her all that much, I guess she was with her house during all of it." I stated. James nodded his head slightly and looked back at the ground.

"Do you want to stay here for the night, or do you want to come back to my dorm with me?" James asked. I thought about it for a few seconds before I looked back at James.

"Can I go back to our dorm, I mean the bed is comfy here, but I want to be near someone I know, and right now, you're the only one I know who won't leave me." I stated, trying hard not to cry. James got up and wrapped me up in a hug. I hugged him back for a minute.

"Come on Rosie, let's go to bed, we'll work it out tomorrow. " James said leading me out of the Room of Requirements.

I woke up the next morning in a strange bed. I looked around the room and saw only sleeping boys. I looked next to me and I saw James. I nudged him softly. He groaned softly and rolled over, taking most of the blanket with him. I shivered and looked down at what I was wearing. Boxer shorts and a tank top. James' boxers and tank top. I just hope their clean.

"James, wake up." I whispered in his ear. He groaned again and rolled over more.

"James! Wake up!" I requested softly, so that I didn't wake any of his dorm mates up. Still nothing. Fine then, you don't want to get up, then I'll make you get up. I thought to myself. Grabbing my wand, and one of James' jumpers, I got off of the bed.

"Aguamenti" I called and a burst of water shot out the end of my wand and right into James. He shot up screaming. My plan worked well.

"What was that for?" James yelled at me. I looked at him timidly; using my acting skills I forced fake tears to my eyes. I saw James' expression soften slightly. Everyone in the dorm was looking at us.

"You didn't wake up, and I forgot where I put my clothes last night. I don't want to go back to my dorm wearing my cousin's boxers and tank top. That would just be plain weird." I stated in a small voice, making it look like I was trying not to cry.

"Rosie, I'm sorry, I'm just not a morning person, and you know that. Next time just look around the dorm, or wake one of the others up, I'm sure they wouldn't mind helping you."James stated, while all the other guys in the dorm nodded their heads.

"But I don't know any of them James, I know we've been here for half a year already, but I haven't been here all this time, not fully anyway. I don't really know anyone." I stated softly. I just wanted to go back to my room and talk to Uncle George. And I knew James could somehow sense this.

"Rose, stay here for a moment, your clothes are on the chest at the end of my bed, go for a shower, and we'll talk when you come out." James stated in a voice that left no room for argument. I grabbed my clothes and walked into the bathroom.

When I walked out everyone in the dorm had left, all except for James. He was sitting on the end of his bed with a pensive look on his face.
