Chapter 6
I do not own Harry Potter in any way.
A/N - This is sorta when Rosalie comes over to the Dark Side for the time being.
The train ride back to Hogwarts was uneventful.
Draco and Rosalie barely talked, because both of them knew what would happen when they returned.
Draco would go back to being a jerk and Rosalie would go back to her Gryffindor friends. "I could walk you to your dorm if you want", Draco said when they returned to Hogwarts.
"That's sweet of you, Dray, but I don't think the Gryffindor's or the Slytherin's would like that", she told leaned in and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you later", she said and made her way up to the common room. When she got there, she saw Ron and Harry sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace. "What kind of mischief did you two get up to?" she asked them.
"None", Harry said.
"Right…" she said, "Well, I'm going to go unpack. I'll see you two later".
Over the next few weeks, life returned to normal, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione started avoiding Rosalie.
Every time she asked them what was wrong, they told her nothing.
Rosalie had no one. She was sitting back the lake one day when she was approached by a small blonde girl with odd earrings.
"Hello, you're the Potions master's daughter aren't you?" she asked her. She spoke with a voice that was light and airy.
"Yeah", Rosalie said.
"I'm Luna Lovegood", the girl said.
"Rosalie Snape", Rosalie said.
"I know", Luna said.
"What would daddy think if you were hanging out with Loony Lovegood?" Draco sneered.
Rosalie stood up and said, "Go away, Malfoy!"
"What's the matter, Rose? Potter, Granger, and Weasley get tired of being your friend?" Draco teased.
Rosalie's eyes filled with tears. She ripped off the locket and threw it at Draco before storming off. She found the girl's bathroom and collapsed in tears. When she returned to Gryffindor tower later, the Golden Trio noticed her tear-stained cheeks and red eyes.
"I don't think we should ignore her anymore", Harry said.
"Her father is trying to steal the stone. What if she's helping him?" Ron asked.
"Come on, guys. It's just Rose", Harry said.
As Rosalie was making her way to her dorm, she ran into Oliver Wood.
"What's wrong, lass? Have you been crying?" he asked.
"It's nothing. Dr…Malfoy was just being a jerk", she told him.
"Pretty girls like you shouldn't cry", Oliver told her.
Rosalie sniffled and managed to smile. "Thanks", she said.
"Anytime, lass", he said and moved out of her way.
Rosalie was on her to the Great Hall for dinner one day, when Draco grabbed her and pulled her behind a tapestry. "What the hell, Draco?" she snapped.
"Thanks to your friends", he said, "I have detention".
"Detention? How did you get detention? Uncle Lucius is going to be furious!" Rosalie said.
Draco sighed and put his face in his hands. "I know", he said, "I was trying to get them in trouble for being out after hours".
"Well that was stupid", she told him.
"Do you think I don't know that?!" Draco snapped.
Rosalie placed her hand over his mouth. "Not so loud", she whispered.
Draco took Rosalie's hand in his and she felt something cold.
She opened her hand and saw the locket.
"I'm sorry, Rosie", he told her, "I fixed it with a simple charm".
Rosalie slipped it over her. "Thank you", she said hugging Draco, "I need to go". She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you later, Draco", she told him.
"Okay", Draco said and watched her leave.
It seemed like no matter what he did, Rosalie ended up getting hurt.
A few days later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione approached Rosalie.
"Whatever it is you guys want to say, I don't want to hear it", Rosalie said, "Obviously you guys don't want to be my friends anymore and I'm fine with that".
"But it's not that…" Harry said.
"Then what exactly is it?" Rosalie snapped.
"…we can't tell you", Harry said.
"You know what? I don't care!" Rosalie snapped, "I don't want to be friends with you guys anymore!"
She stormed out of the library and made her way down to the Great Hall. She walked right up to where Draco and his friends were sitting and slammed her books down.
"Hey! Gryffindork! Piss off!" Goyle said.
"Leave her alone", Draco snapped.
Rosalie turned to Draco and smiled.
The rift between Harry and Rosalie was just beginning.
