Chapter 33
I do not own Harry Potter in any way.
A/N - I don't know how many chapters 5th year will be since I don't plan for Rosalie to be involved in Dumbledore's Army.
Dinner was uneventful, except for Dumbledore introducing the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge.
Rosalie sighed. Her father had been rejected yet again.
Draco placed his hand on hers and said, "He'll get it next year, Rose". She had only nodded and went back to eating.
Rosalie could already tell she was going to hate the woman.
She dressed in hideously pink clothing, had the most annoying giggle Rosalie had ever heard, and had the face of a toad.
Rosalie could already tell this was going to be a tough year. When they got up to the dorms, Rosalie collapsed onto Draco's bed. "Can I sleep with you tonight?" Rosalie asked him.
"Are you not sleeping again? Are you having visions?" Draco asked her.
"I always sleep better in your arms", she said softly.
Draco smiled and crawled into bed with her. "I love you Rosalie Snape", Draco murmured into her temple.
"I love you too Draco Malfoy".
The first class of the day was DADA.
Someone had created a paper bird and it was flittering around the classroom until it became a pile of ash on Pavarti's desk.
"Good morning, children", Umbridge said, "Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations. More commonly known as OWL's".
At the word 'owl', Rosalie was struck with a vision.
"Avada Kadavra!" "Hedwig!"
Rosalie gasped when she came out of the vision.
"Miss Snape? Is there a problem?" Umbridge asked.
"I…not feeling too well", Rosalie said.
Umbridge walked up to her and inspected her. "Mr. Malfoy, please take Miss Snape to the hospital wing and then report back here", Umbridge said.
Draco scooped Rosalie up his arms and grabbed her bag.
Harry glanced over at them.
Rosalie was pale and sweating.
Draco carried her out of the classroom and down to the dungeons.
Her father opened the door to his quarters. "Draco…what are you…?"
"I think Rosalie had another vision", Draco explained.
"Bring her inside", Snape told him.
Draco entered Snape's quarters and laid her on the bed.
"Go back to class. I'll inform the other teachers of her condition", Snape told him.
Draco kissed Rosalie on the forehead, before leaving.
"Rosalie, can you tell me what you saw?" Snape asked her.
"It was dark, because it was storming. I…I think it was raining. I was in the sky. I heard someone use the killing curse and another voice yell, "Hedwig". I have no clue where it came from or why I had it", she explained.
"Hedwig is Potter's owl", Snape said.
"I know that! But why am I having visions about his owl dying?" Rosalie asked, "Why am I having these damn visions in the first place?"
"I honestly don't know Rosalie", Snape said, "Stay here and rest".
Life was awkward for the Potter siblings over the next few days.
Both Harry and Rosalie's friends had been acting odd around them.
Even Draco had started to walk on eggshells around Rosalie, not wanting to trigger another episode.
"I'm not made of glass, Draco!" Rosalie insisted.
"I know that Rose. It's just…do you know how hard it is for me to see in pain or suffering and not being able to do anything about it?" Draco asked her.
"It's not my fault Draco! It's not like I asked for these visions!" Rosalie hissed. She sighed and stormed off down the hallway. "Rosalie!" she heard Harry call, but she kept walking.
He grabbed her arm and she stopped.
"What?" she hissed.
"I need to tell you something", Harry said.
She rolled her eyes and allowed him to lead her into an alcove behind a tapestry. "Okay, you've got my attention. Now start talking", she said.
"When I went to the Ministry for my hearing, I saw Lucius Malfoy talking to the Minister for Magic", Harry told her.
"And you're telling me this, why?" she asked.
"Well I thought you should know considering you're dating his son", Harry said.
"Which is exactly why I shouldn't even be talking to you. I'm walking a thin line with Lucius as it is. Do you have any idea what could happen if he finds out I'm talking with you?" Rosalie said.
"Are you that scared of him?" Harry asked.
"I'd be a fool not to", Rosalie said, "Everything just feels like it's falling apart".
Harry dropped his book bag and hugged Rosalie.
Rosalie wrapped her arms around her brother, glad for the comfort from someone other than Draco or her father.
The warning bell sounded and they broke apart.
"Thanks for that…I really needed it", Rosalie told him.
Harry blushed and said, "Anytime".
Rosalie grabbed her stuff and ran to class.
