The next morning, Rose was given the all-clear by Madam Hartley and was allowed to leave the Hospital Wing.
She walked the quiet corridors to the Gryffindor tower, smiling at the few people she passed- although she noticed very few Gryffindors. Walking into the common room, Rose understood why she had seen so few Gryffindors in the halls. The common room was full to the brim with Gryffindor students, who all began cheering when Rose entered. Rose stood there, shocked at the welcome. Chelsea, Jessica, Ivy and the boy from the forest broke away from the crowd to make their way over to Rose.
"What's all this for?" Rose asked, still stunned.
"What do you think it's for?" Chelsea said, "You pretty much saved David Creevy's life! I think that calls for a bit of a cheer!"
Rose's cheeks turned bright red. "You're all too kind."
The boy who Chelsea had called David smiled up at Rose. He was small and scrawny, his messy hair a dark brown. Looking down at the ground shyly, he looked up at Rose, his chestnut brown eyes twinkling, "Thank you so, so much Miss Weasley." The boy said meekly. "I'm very grateful for what you did to save me."
Rose's cheeks turned an even brighter shade of red. Crouching down so she was eye-level with David and not looking down on him like a teacher Rose thanked him. David beamed and puffed out his chest, obviously proud that he'd worked up the courage to thank her.
Rose stood up, addressing the crowd she said, "As much as I'd love to stay and party I have things I need to do." The crowd cheered for Rose once more as she made her way through the sea of people to the stairs leading to the girls' dormitories. Almost everyone patted her on the back and thanked her or commented on her phoenix Patronus, which was a fact that had somehow gotten out, even though she hadn't told anyone. One thing Rose had learnt at Hogwarts was that news travelled very quickly. There were eyes and ears watching and listening all over the castle.
As Rose entered her dormitory, she was surprised to see Natalie lying on her bed reading a book. Rose had almost forgotten about Natalie as she'd been gone almost a week. Natalie didn't even look up at Rose when she walked in, but Rose wasn't going to let Natalie's negative attitude annoy her.
Trying to be nice, Rose said, "Hey Natalie! It's good to see you back! How are you feeling?"Natalie sat up, putting her book to the side, "Don't act so happy to see me back. It's obvious you don't like me so stop trying to be so nice. I bet you think you're so cool and powerful with that special Patronus! But don't think I'm going to bow down before you because of it. Let's just stick to ignoring each other." Natalie lay back down and resumed reading her book.
Rose rolled her eyes. Natalie didn't want to be her friend anytime soon. Even though Rose was still curious about Natalie and her 'visions', it was obvious she wasn't going to get any answers- not from Natalie anyway.
Quickly grabbing her schoolbooks for the day, Rose left the Gryffindor tower, the crowd in the common room still quite tightly-packed.
The hallways were now buzzing with activity and It seemed the whole school had heard about Rose's Patronus. Almost everyone stopped her to congratulate her or welcome her back- even though she'd only been gone a day.
Because of this, Rose arrived late to class. Professor Dippet didn't say anything about her tardiness, just told her to take a seat and continued on with his lesson.
Looking around, Rose saw almost every seat was taken. Amelia was turned to look at Rose, an apologetic look on her face. Usually they saved a seat for each other but obviously this time Amelia hadn't been able to. Looking around the room, Rose took the only available seat- next to Scorpius.
Scorpius smiled at Rose when she sat down, whispering in her ear "How are you feeling?"Not wanting to be caught talking, Rose discreetly wrote on the corner of her parchment, "Much better. Madam Hartley told me about how you visited me every chance you got."Scorpius nodded. At that moment, Professor Dippet looked over at them and Rose pretended she was very focussed on a note she was writing down.
At the end of the lesson, Scorpius stopped Rose just outside the doorway. He pulled her into a tight hug. Rose was slightly shocked at first, but wrapped her arms around his back and rested her head on his tough chest. After a few moments, Scorpius let go and looked at Rose. "I was so worried for you."Rose smiled at him. "I'm perfectly fine. Nothing to worry about now.""I know." Sorpius said. "But I just can't help feeling that what if something else happens and no one is there to help you?"
"Scorpius, just because one showed up doesn't mean every Dementor is going to be lining up outside the castle just waiting to attack me. It was a once off, nothing else is going to happen." She hugged him again, breathing in his scent of pine, enjoying the warmth and safety she felt with apart she looked at him. "Now I have to go. And so do you."Rose walked off and caught up with Amelia who was waiting for her just down the corridor with Alice. Of course they wanted to know about everything that happened.

A/N: I know this probably sounds really dumb but could someone ease explain what forums are, how they work and how I join one. I really don't get them. Thanks!

Thanks for reading!
