"Well, if you want to know any more about Hogwarts just ask." Rosemary told Harry as they stepped through the portrait hole.

"Alright, I'll find you if I do." Harry replied.

"Well, 'bye Harry." Rosemary hugged him. "G'night."

"G'night." Harry hugged her back. As he walked up the boys' staircase to bed, rosemary sighed.

"Ooh! Rose! I heard that sigh! You love him, don't you!" Sophia ran up and grabbed Rosemary's arm. "Rosemary and Harry, sittin' in a tree, s-n-o-g-g-i-n-g!"

"Oh, shut up! I don't like him like that, I'd be weird!" Rosemary shook Sophia off her arm while they walked up the girls' staircase.

When they reached their dorm room, Sophia told everyone there what happened… "Rosemary is in love with Harry Potter!"

The girls in the dorm sat on the ends of their beds, wide-eyed and eager for gossip.

"Did you really take him to the loo, or were you using that as an excuse to snog him?" one girl, Elizabeth asked.

Rosemary didn't even get a chance to answer before Sophia chimed in. "ah, rosemary potter… has a bit of a nice ring to it, eh?"

"So what will you name your kids?" Jillian asked.

"I said I don't-"

"Of course you do! Why deny it? We heard the way you cheered for him in the Great Hall!" Sophia insisted. "And he obviously likes you, too! How could he not? We all saw the way he looked straight at you when he asked for a guide!"

"That was'"

"OOH! Just wait until I tell my mother about all this!"

"SOPHIA SKEETER, YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" Rosemary yelled as she shut the curtains hanging from her canopy bed forcefully, almost ripping them. 'I really hope Harry doesn't read the Daily Prophet.' Rosemary thought.

A/N – Mary: for those of you who didn't pick it up… Sophia Skeeter's mom is Rita Skeeter, writer for the Daily Prophet newspaper… and these girls' names, I'm just making them up… they're not in the book. I wrote this chapter whilst eating lunch in the school cafeteria, and to come up with the names I looked around, and the first girl my eyes fell upon, her name went in. The girls I used are nothing like what the characters are… ok, maybe Elizabeth a little…

Victoria: *sighs* none of this was my writing so I have nothing to do with it.
