A.N so I have written all these chapters on my iPod so try seem huge to me, so I have tried to make this longer for everyone. Oh and for this I have added it so Slytherin have Charms with Gryffindor as well. Forgot she was a Metamorphmagus so I'm going to edit it out because it doesn't really work with my story.

Disclaimer: I don't harry potter or the quotes I use only Rose and her Owl that is never really used because no one seems to send her letters.

I don't remember anything when I wake up. It's dark though and I ache all over. I try moving from the bed I'm on but I can't. I notice I'm in the Hospital Wing but I have no idea how I got there. I feel a bandage wrapped on my stomach where most of the pain is coming from. I also have a bandage on my left eye which I can feel is swollen. I hear two people talking at the end of the room to my right.

"What are we going to do Albus?" I pick up Snapes voice heavy with concern. I turn my head slowly trying not to hurt myself too much.

"Talk to her friends and give her support but there is simply not much we can do. We can give most of the boys detention for natural reasons without bringing alert but we can't draw attention or it will cause her more pain." Professor Dumbledore says patiently. He walks off leaving Snape to his thoughts. Snape looks over to see me watching and walks over.

"What happened? I can't remember anything besides leaving The Great Hall." I ask. He looks around trying to find the words even though I know what's coming.

"You arrived at my office a couple of days ago beaten up and collapsed. You started bleeding from the stomach not badly but enough to scare me." He says with anger in his voice. "Madam Pomfrey has fixed you up as best she could but the bruises have to heal on their own." Great I think now everyone is going to look at me like some freak. I sigh and look to the window on the opposite wall. Madam Pomfrey comes over and starts moving him out.

"Thank you by the way. For everything." I say quickly. He gives a small smile and walks off. Madam Pomfrey comes back to take off my bandages and gives me this disgusting potion but stops the pain in my face and stomach. She makes me stay that night which I don't mind. The next morning I go to breakfast, I can feel eyes on my face as I sit at the end of the table by myself. I hear the whispers and people now are avoiding me more. I grab bacon and eggs and stare at it suddenly not hungry. I hear people sit across from me.

"What bloody happened to you?" I look up to see George and Fred.

"Um nothing ... door ... tripped." I mumble. I go back to stating at my food.

"If every time we flipping see you you're in pieces then we will have to have a word with these Slytherins." Says Fred looking as if he will enjoy it.

"Please don't." I plead to them. They see the fear in my eyes and it reflects on theirs. They open their mouths to say something when Draco walks over.

"We'll if it isn't two Weasley's. We don't accept blood traitors over here." He says loud enough for everyone to hear. The twins go red.

"We what are you doing here what with your fathers record?" Fred asks smartly. Draco sneers at them.

"Keep Father out of this." He snaps,

he notices me looking at the argument "and leave Rose alone. She obviously doesn't want your company." All three of them look at me and I just look at my plate knowing if I say anything I will pay later from Draco. I hear someone sigh and then Fred gets up. George leans over and squeezes my hand in reassurance. I give him a sad smile as they leave. Draco sits down where they were sitting.

"You look pretty" he says laughing. "Oh and where were you when I said you had to go to that duel?" He demands.

"As you can tell by my face I had visitors and have been indisposed over the last couple of days. I apologise for the inconvenience." I said getting angry. He can be such a brat sometimes.

"Don't forget who you are talking to." He snaps.

"You don't let me." I tell him as I get up from the table and leave the Hall to Charms class. It takes me longer to get to Charms because every time I see a Slytherin I hide just in case Draco has done his dirty work. On the way I do realise I have been at Hogwarts for two months now.

I get there and Professor Flitwick announced that we are going to start flying objects. He put us all into pairs and because Draco won't leave me alone I got stuck with him, right behind Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Swish and flick, remember, swish, and flick. And saying the magic words properly is very important too" Flitwick calls from somewhere in the room. Draco and I were not getting it to move but then most people weren't either. We overheard Ron and Hermione's argument laughing to each other. What was hilarious was Ron waving his arms like a windmill. Harry glared at us when he saw us laughing.

"You're saying it wrong," we heard Hermione snap at Ron. "It's Wingardium Leviosa, make the 'gar' nice and long." Draco looked at me, we laughed at the way she was saying. I noticed for the first time that he didn't have any anger in his eyes it was just pure happiness. I couldn't understand this boy. We look over to see Hermione floating her feather in the air, Professor Flitwick was praising her but I noticed Ron had gone quiet. He looks at my bruise on my face then stops laughing.

"We better finish this." He says to me. I nod to him trying not to ruin the fun time we just had. We leave Charms with a lot of homework. Draco walks next to me, I know Crabbe and Goyle are walking close behind us. We walk in silence, I wait for him to get bored and walk off but he doesn't. Hermione accidentally pushes past, I see the tears coming down

"The mud blood." I hear Draco mumble angrily as he dusts himself off. I turn to him, the frown already on my face. I shake my head and follow her to see what's wrong. I follow her to the girls bathroom. I see her at the mirror crying.

"Hermione?" I ask warily. She looks up surprised.

"What." She snaps when she notices the green and silver. "Here to make fun of me?" Now it's my turn to be surprised.

"No, I just wanted to make sure you were ok. I noticed you were crying." I say moving to the sink. Looking at the purple bruise on my face.

"Thanks" she says wiping the tears from her face.

"You want to talk about it?" I ask looking over at her.

"It's nothing, they just made a comment that I have no friends." She said. I look at her hard. Her bushy hair, brown eyes and she was skinny.

"Boys can be mean." I say with a huff. She laughs. Then looks at me.

She points at my bruise "How did that happen?"

"I can't tell you." I mumble looking away.

"Sorry." She says looking away.

"I don't have any friends either"

"We could be friends" Hermione looks happy at her new idea.

"Secretly, it wouldn't be good if everyone found out in Slytherin that you were friends with me." I'm a little scared because she is also a muggleborn. We stand there awkwardly for a bit then we hear this booming.

"Go into the cubical now" I say pushing her into one. We go into one together. We hear something scraping against the floor and heavy footprint. The smell was horrible, like old socks mixed with a very unclean toilet and we knew it wasn't the girls bathroom. Hermione was shaking, I tried to keep her steady and not cause attention to whatever was out there.

"HERMIONE?" Someone called. She moves to the cubical door even through I try to hold her back and she leaves. I hear her scream so I leave as well to see her backed against the wall, Ron and Harry on the opposite side of the bathroom with a huge Troll in the middle of the room. I move to Hermione.

"Oy, pea-brain!" Yells Ron as he throws a metal pipe at it. Harry runs over, yelling at us to move towards the exist but Hermione is stone still. All the yelling starts to make the troll go crazy and start going for Ron. Harry decides to be a typical Gryffindor and jumps on his back with his hands around the things neck. Harry didn't move his wand though so that went straight up its nose, and the troll didn't like that. Hermione fell to the ground so I went to help her but Ron being a stupid male and from Gryffindor took his wand out and shouted "Wingardium Leviosa!" The trolls club shot out of its hand and then dropped on its head knocking the troll out.

"Is it - dead?" Hermione asks getting up from the floor.

"I don't think so," said Harry, "I think it's just been knocked out." He retrieves his wand from the nose but I don't notice the complaints he's making because Professor McGonagall comes bursting in with Snape and Professor Quirrel (a stuttery man who I have for defence against the dark arts). Snape is shocked to see me but shows no reconciliation that we have a friendship. That was the first boundary he made with me, the second was that I could go to him with anything.

"What on earth were you thinking of?" Said McGonagall, very angrily. "You're lucky you weren't killed. Why aren't you in your dormitory?" Gladly it was just directed at the two boys.

Hermione decided then to speak up. "Please, Professor McGonagall - They were looking for me. I went looking for the troll because I - I thought I could deal with it on my own - you know, because I've read all about them." Man to think that I would see the day that she told a lie. I'm going to enjoy being her secret friend. "If they hadn't found Rose and I, we'd be dead now."

"Well - in that case... Miss Granger, five points will be taken from Gryffindor for this. You can go." Hermione left looking very embarrassed at losing house points. Professor McGonagall turned to Snape. "You can decide what you do with Miss Grey here." Snap nods in agreement and indicates to me with his hand to come with him. He puts his hand on his shoulder and leads me out towards the dungeons. We walk in silence all the way there, I know I'm in trouble big time. I notice he's limping so ill have to talk to him about that after. We get to his office in the dungeons. He sits behind his desk and I sit in the seat opposite. I look at my hands not wanting to look at him.

"Look at me." I look up. He doesn't look angry but its hard to tell, I've learnt that he's a hard book to read. "What happened? And the real story this time." He says clasping his hands on his desk. Looking at me hard. I know he'll be using Occlumency. I think of a way to start.

"We had just had Charms, Hermione left crying so I followed her to the bathroom to make sure she was ok. We talked, heard something coming went in cubical, troll comes in, boys come in, big commotion, and then Ron used a spell to levitate its club and knock it out." I say in a rush. I let out a breath. Snape goes to say something but I cut him off.

"All in all I managed to make a friend today, even if she is a muggleborn so it's a secret friendship, and I saw a troll so I can cross that off my bucket list. It's been a pretty good day so please so make the house pay by taking points off." I beg. Snape breaks out in a small grin.

"Well I'm glad you made a friend." Now it's my turn to smile.

"You best be off to bed." He says like a father. "Oh and how is your face?"

"Fine. How is your leg?" I ask casually. He narrows his eyes and looks at his work.

"Go!"

"I noticed on the way here. You have to get it checked out." I say. "What happened about being honest with each other?"

"I believe it was a one way commitment if I remember correctly." Not looking up from his work.

"I'll get Dumbledore" I threaten. He looks up knowing I will but there is slight amusement in his eyes.

"I promise ill go see Madame Pomfrey tomorrow ok?" Looking at me. I sigh and then laugh.

"That will have to do then."

"Now off to bed. Who knew you could be so demanding." He says going back to his work. I walk to the door.

"Night" I call before taking a nice sprint to the dorm. What a day.

The next couple of weeks weren't eventful. My bruise fades quickly thanks to a potion that Snape makes. I didn't get attacked as bad as I did in the past but I did get locked in broom cupboards, have burning spells cast at me as they walked by, and shoved in the hallways. One time I was locked in a cupboard for three hours before they let me out (it was in the dorm room). Over those few months I didn't see much of Fred or George. Hermione said it was because of Quidditch practise but supposedly they kept on asking her how I was. Hermione and I found out that the only place no Slytherins could find us would be in the Library so we met there most days and studied. As we entered November it became really cold which meant that the dungeons were normally just as cold. But this month was the first Quidditch game for the season, Slytherin vs Gryffindor. The morning of the game at breakfast everyone seemed nervous. I looked over at the Gryffindor table. Harry was very white and not eating, more chances for a win on Slytherin though. I go back to eating my sausages. Someone sits next to me.

"Draco." I say acknowledging his presence.

"I'm sorry was this seat reserved? Because for the last two months I haven't seen people wanting to sit with you." He snaps. Ok so he's in a bad mood. I glance at him. I can't help but laugh, he has the funniest scowl on his face.

"What." He says looking at me. "Stop laughing at me."

"Why are you angry?"

"Bloody Potter is on the team. He's year one. Your not meant to go on till year two. It's not fair." Scowling again.

"Suck it up."

"Shut up Halfblood."

"Why do you sit with me Draco?" I ask curious.

"No other people to sit with." He says through a mouthful of bacon.

"Pft Pansy would love to sit with you. She won't shut up about you." He laughs and takes another mouthful.

"Another reason to sit with you. She won't want to go out with me if I keep sitting with a half-breed now will she." He says with the cockiest smile on his face. I look at him disgusted.

"Pig" I then leave the hall to head to the stadium for the match. Fred and George run to walk with me.

"Haven't seen you in ages" try say in unison, the excitement in their voices.

"Been busy. You know the troll and all." I say with a grin. The laugh taking my arms in theirs.

"Make sure you knock Marcus Flint off his broom." Now serious.

"Anything for our fair lady." Says Fred.

"We could try to fix his face with a bludger." Comments George as they run into the changing room. I head upstairs to the stands to get a seat in the Slytherin area. I sit down in an empty seat at the end of a row because people wouldn't want to sit with me. It windy so it's a good thing I brought my scarf, beanie, and gloves. People sit around me but not next to me, the seat next to me is still empty. Someone better sit there or soon that pig-headed thing will. Oh and here he is.

"Saving me a seat Grey?" Draco asks dripping with sarcasm dropping next to me.

"Quite the opposite really."

"Oh." He faking a surprised look. "Someone other than me in our pure house will dare sit next to the blood traitor? Please point this person out." I go back to looking at the field. The teams are coming out.

"Still green for Harry?" I ask with innocence in my voice. He goes red, I'm not sure if he's mad or embarrassed. He takes his wand out, hiding it low so no one will see.

"Want another burn on the pretty arm?" He says into my hair. I glance at him.

"I mean no harm Draco. Green suits you after all." I say this on purpose to push his buttons. A smile creeps on my face. I know the punishment though, I would rather have him do it then Flint. My smile is off my face when he grabs my arm burning in one spot. This one hurts. I bite the inside of my cheek hard and I taste blood on my tongue. He puts his wand away. I hear Lee Jordan start the commentary and the teams fly in the air. Harry looks so lost. Draco laughs.

"Look at Potter." He's drowned out because Gryffindor have scored. Boos erupt around us. I looked up to see Harry still seemed to be just flying round. What was their tactic? A bludger flys at him but he dodges it and Fred hits it towards Marcus who dodges it sadly. Lee shouts out about the snitch which send the two seekers in a flurry. Harry nearly gets it but Marcus whams into Harry. I nearly stand up to call foul. Gryffindor get a free shot at the goal post though. They go back to the game with Lee's hilarious commentary. Then finally Slytherin score. We watch the game then the snitch is seen and the chase is on. Harry hits the pitch. Draco's laughing his head off. Harry coughs up and the snitch falls out, Gryffindor have won the match.
