So my fanfic is prob real confusing, I'm half doing it on the book events and half doing it on movie events so I'm sorry if you get confused.


Well its train day as I call it. September the first, dooms day. Most kids would wake with a skip in their step but not me; I dread every movement I make towards that machine. I was about to put on a dress when something flew into my window of my room. I opened the window hastily to find George's owl. I took the letter it sent me to find George's scrawl on it. All it said was

Be yourself. Well great piece of everything I own. I give the owl a treat and send it on its way. Looking at the dress I decide I can't wear this. Why do I have to flipping please everyone. Draco, Snape, Bloody Slytherins, now George. I decide on my black French Valencia Peplum Top with Leather Front Slim Pants. These pants I love, they make me feel so me and rock. The worst part as usual was the shoes I was stuck with a pair of black suede pump. Hell in a shoe shape to me, at least if Draco or Pansy annoyed me today I could take it off and stab them with it. I finally finish packing all my belongings so I'm now ready to leave. The good thing is that my maid is also sending my things to the platform so I don't have to try to get it all in the stupid fireplace. I head to the Leaky cauldron fireplace and make my leave. To be honest I didn't even know platform 9 3/4 had a fireplace. Well I arrive in shades of green. I hate traveling this way but hey it's the only way at the moment. I walk out to see I'm just at the other end of the train. I easily spot my things in line waiting to be boarded onto the train.

"Rose!" I look around for the person calling. It's the red hair that does it again. I spot Fred and George and we wade through the crowd to get to each other. George looks at me and grins.

"That's more appropriate." I'm about to say something when I feel a tap on my shoulder. George doesn't look happy and Fred puts his hand on his brother's shoulder. I turn round to see Cedric there grinning at me.

"Cedric!" I shout jumping into his arms. He wraps his around my waist leaning down and kissing me on the lips. It's a long lost kiss as we haven't been in contact. I hear a cough behind me so I break apart remembering that we're in public. I feel a chuckle come from Cedric. He grabs my hand as I turn to face the twins. Cedric turns into my hair.

"We better go get a seat before there all gone." His breath on my skin is something I've missed.

"I'll talk to you guys later." Cedric starts walking me off towards the train but I can't help look back. George has an unhappy look on his face as he looks at me and Fred is talking to him with a hand on his shoulder. I turn away feeling bad that I had to choose.

He finds a compartment that empty and sits down beckoning for me to sit next to him to which I oblige. He turns towards me and puts his hand on my cheek, kissing me gently on the neck and then my lips. My hands go behind his neck weaving my hands through his hair. He starts getting rough and then his hand starts moving up my leg. I put one of mine on it to stop him which he takes the hint. The door to our compartment then bangs open.

"George!" I hear as we break apart. I look up to see a red-faced George sitting across from me and Fred standing at the door.

"Sorry everywhere else is full." He mumbles. Cedric finds this slightly amusing.

"It's alright you can sit with us." He takes my hand as he leans back in the seat. Fred looks awkwardly around before closing the door and sitting down. We all sit there not saying anything and then the trolley lady comes by and we all scramble for food trying to make light conversation over it. Cedric then gets up, kissing me on the way out and say he's going to get changed and see some friends of his. I notice George clench his fists as he leaves. The door closes.

"What is your problem?!" I shout at him. He looks shocked.

"I have no problem; don't know what you're on about." A chuckle comes from Fred which earns him a hit from his brother.

"You can't stand him, you don't like him touching me, you won't leave us alone."

"Have you seen the way he looks at you, like he's about to eat you. It's disgusting." George is looking at his hands.

"I can't believe you. I thought we were past this nonsense and we were friends again?" I get up and grab my uniform opening the door. I go and get changed leaving him calling after me. I leave the changing room to find Fred standing outside.

"Have you come on behalf of him to apologise." He looks hurt at my dig but proceeds to walk with me.

"No Rose I'm not he can do that all on his own."

"Then what is it?" He grabs my arm and turns me to him.

"He cares about you that's all. We all do but he has become very protective over you." With that he walks into the compartment leaving me to collect my thoughts. I don't want to have to go back in there but all of a sudden I hear Draco's annoying squeal of a voice coming down the passage so I found I had no choice. The rest of the train ride was uneventful. Cedric refused to let go of my hand and George was clearly showing that it was annoying him. We arrive at Hogsmeade station just after dark. The scurry to get out was crazy. Cedric kisses me on the cheek saying something about sitting with his friends and he'll talk to me later. I walk awkwardly with Fred and George to a carriage. The carriages are black in colour, with headlamps attached to the front. What is interesting is the creatures that pull them. I reach over and pat one. It's like a black horse all inside out.

"Rose what are you doing?" I look up at the twins on the carriage who look like they've just seen the weirdest thing.

"I'm patting the horse thing?"

"There's nothing there." Says Fred as he looks at George. I look back at the horse and step onto the carriage. The boys start talking about some joke product and I get lost in my thoughts about the weird horse that's pulling the carriage and I can only see.

At the Great Hall doors I part way with the twins giving them a little wave and half smile before sitting in my usual spot at the Slytherin table. For once I was enjoying myself, no one was bugging me and then Draco sits down across from me.

"Ah Rose." He says with a smile leaning down on the table. Crabbe and Goyle sit on either side of him.

"I was enjoying myself Draco." I decide to look anywhere but at his smug face.

"And we both know that we can't have that. Anyway I heard that you were still in cahoots with Diggory." I can't help but look at him now.

"And so what if I am. It's none of your business."

"Don't forget who you're dealing with Rose." He gets up and leaves just as the first years start to come through the door. I don't pay attention to the sorting, I just idly sit there playing with my knife and fork. We get a few kids in our house but not much which is good, we don't need any more dick heads running around. Dumbledore does his normal spiel and then the food was up. It was amazing as ever, this is the life I missed. Lucia could not make food this good even though I'm pretty sure she's working here now while Snape and I are at school. I get full quickly and leave for the dorm, I was shattered. I walked the way to Slytherin house and it was creepy, I should have waited for everyone else. This walk brings back too many memories from last year that I would much rather forget.

"Pureblood" I say to the door and it opens for me. I get welcomed with warmth but I walk right past the fireplace to my room that I'm still sharing with Pansy and her troop. I go to bed in the same one as last year. I thought I would be able to go to sleep before they came in from the feast but I was wrong. It was the cackling I heard first. It went on for hours talking about Draco and all the good looks he seems to have supposedly. I finally fall asleep after my first day back.

The next day was interesting, and I mean really interesting. Breakfast was just me with the annoying Draco across from me and porridge. It took everything I had not to tip my bowl on his head but I managed not to. Then the post came and that was slightly embarrassing for the Gryffindor table because Ron received a very loud letter which I think everyone said was a howler. Oh and it howled, something about a flying car and hitting the Whomping Willow at school. The Slytherin table couldn't stop pissing themselves they found it that funny, I just felt sorry for the guy. The whole hall could hear the nonsense. I left the boys to cackle and headed to study in the library before my first class of the day, Herbology. We had to repot mandrakes and it gave me a splitting headache even though I had huge earmuffs on. That class went quicker than I expected but I think that was just because Draco was struggling so hard with his pot that he left me alone. I decided to grab lunch from the kitchens and sit in the courtyard at a bench by myself, my peacefulness didn't last long though.

"And I was beginning to wonder where you had got to." It was the same annoying tone I hear day in and day out and Draco came and sat next to me.

"I was enjoying myself, Draco."

"You know I can't let you have that though." We sit quietly looking out into the courtyard. We watch as Ron, Hermione, and Harry walk out and sit down as well.

"Now this is going to be good." He says standing up, he beckons at me. "Come on get up and come with me."

I look up at him surprised that he would treat me as if I was a dog. He grabs my forearm and drags me towards the trio causing me to trip slightly. He let's go and walks towards them with me following. It seemed that a boy from their house with a huge camera had noticed that they had arrived or mainly that Harry had arrived as he was snapping away at him.

"Signed photos? You're giving out signed photos, Potter." He says this loudly which caused stares. Crabbe and Goyle appear and saunter behind him.

"Everyone queue up!" He shouts to everyone watching. "Harry Potter's giving out signed photos." I half cower behind Draco trying to hide but he grabs me and pulls me up next to him to get a full view of the mockery. I get death stares from Harry and Ron but Hermione just gives me a sympathising look.

"No, I'm not." Harry says finally. "Shut up Malfoy." His fists are clenched and I'm scared that this is going to end in a fist fight with me in the middle. The boy with the camera squeaks something but I miss it.

"Jealous? Of what? I don't want a foul scar right across my head, thanks. I don't think getting your head cut open makes you that special." Half the courtyard is listening in now. I turn to him.

"Draco don't push it." I try to persuade with him but I just get pushed roughly to the side.

"Eat slugs, Malfoy." Ron says angrily.

"Be careful, Weasley. You don't want to start any trouble or your mummy'll have to come and ale you away from school." He says sneeringly. I can't help but glare at him. He puts on a high-pitched voice. "If you put another toe out of line -" I hear laughter behind me and I can only guess that's it's the bunch of Slytherins watching.

"Weasley would like a signed photo, Potter, it'd be worth more than his family's whole house." Draco says with a smirk. Before I can try to get him to stop Ron has his wand out which I notice has tape on it, he points it at Draco. Hermione whispers something to him quickly and then the 'golden hero' comes to save the day. He starts talking to Harry about the signed photos and then the nerve of it all he gets a photo with Harry from the small boy. Then he's swept away. I roll my eyes and Draco catches it which makes him laugh.

"So I'm guessing you're not a fan then?" I laugh. The crowd had dispersed and its time for my next class which happens to be Defence Against the Dark Arts.

"I can't stand the guy." I say walking off to DADA leaving him standing there. This was the class I wasn't looking forward as it was with the fool himself. As usual Draco sits himself next to me.

"Did you see Weasley making a fool of himself this morning?" He says very clearly to me so everyone else can hear causing the Slytherins to laugh at the memory.

"No I seemed to miss that, I did however see YOU making a fool of yourself as you were pissing on the floor. Obviously mummy didn't teach you proper manners." Draco goes bright red as everyone laughs. I couldn't help myself; someone had to put him in his place. Ron seemed to find this funniest. I felt a wand dig into my side so I turned my head at Draco.

"Don't mess with me. You do that again and you will regret it." He whispers into my ear. I turn back to the front as Lockhart has just started to come down the steps. I felt a sick feeling form in my stomach, a feeling I had hoped I would never have to feel again.

"Allow me to introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher; me. Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. But I don't talk about that; I didn't get rid of the Banden Banshee by smiling at him." He smiles tauntingly.

Rolling my eyes "Oh puhleeze." I say a little too loudly. Draco laughs beside me and so does a few other Slytherins, the Gryffindors however don't find it as amusing. Lockhart pretends not to have noticed but his cheeks go slightly pink. He walks down to the stairs to face the class. He the lifts a large, covered cage an places it on his desk.

"Now- be warned! It is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind! You may find yourself facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I am here. All I ask is that you remain calm." To be honest even this little speech of his has me entranced. I wanted to know what was in that cage, the fear and curiosity was building up for something really good. He whips off the cover to reveal...blue flipping pixies.

"Yes, freshly caught Cornish pixies" he says with a dramatic tone. I roll my eyes and clench my fists. A boy laughs behind me to which Lockhart pounces on the opportunity.

"Laugh if you will, Mr Finnigan. These Pixies can be devilishly tricky little blighters." I just couldn't take anymore.

"Are you serious?" I say very loudly. Everyone looks at me and the look on Lockhart's face would have been priceless in a different situation.

"Pardon?" He asks.

"This has to be a joke because you can't seriously give us something as menial as this? Like obviously this is advanced for your level but for us it's kind of pushing it." He looks shocked and his face has gone red, I don't know if he's embarrassed or angry it was hard to tell. Draco puts his hand on mine, I think it was to try to calm me down but I barely noticed.

"Snape's office." It was almost a whisper so I thought I misheard him. "Snape's office now!" He shouts at me pointing at the door.

"Gladly, anything's better than your rubbish class." I say standing up and collecting my thing. I storm from the room with everyone staring at me. I'm furious all the way to Snape's office but I compose myself as I knock on the door and then walk in to find him sitting at his desk writing a letter.

"Sit." He says and I collapse in a seat across from him. I wait till he finishes which helps me calm down and then realise how much shit I'm in. He looks up at me.

"I hear you've been causing trouble with your new teacher." I look away from him and let out a heavy breath.

"Rose look at me." I comply and look at his dark eyes.

"He's a complete idiot. Those stories are probably not even true, he probably made them all up." I let this all out in a rush and it makes him smile.

"He is your teacher and he was the only person to take the job. You must sit there and not say anything that's going to end you up back in this room. You hear me?" He lays his demands down so I decide to compromise.

"Fine but I will only do this if you put my name forward on the Quidditch team." He leans back in his chair. "Females never make the team and I'm the best person there is since Flint has gone and I've been practicing. I can do this and I really want this." I'm pretty much begging at this point. He doesn't say anything but looks warily at me.

"What position?" He asks taking a quill and paper. I beam at him.

"Chaser." He looks up at me. "What? It's the one ill be good at the best and it's an open space." He starts writing away to who I'm guessing is the new captain this year.

"Draco will be on the team this year as well." He says with a casual tone.

"What!" I blurt out which causing Snape to look back up at me from his writing. "It won't be a problem. We can 'bond' more." A shudder goes down my spine at the thought.

"You best be off." He says with a sigh. I smile at him and then I rush round and hug him before leaving the room.
