Hey guys! So here's another chapter! Please R&R, and thanks for following the story!
As Rose and Andrew made their way through the castle, the dim light of the onsetting dusk shone through the windows. Once it was dark, curfew would setin, leaving the Captain of Ravenclaws Quidditch team and the Ravenclaw Prefect in trouble if caught. They hurried through the Entrance Hall, and didn't relax until they were standing in front of the painting, that hid the door into the kitchen.
Andrew looked at Rose.
"Do you remember how to open it?" he asked.
Rose nodded, reached out, and tickled the pear on the painting. It twisted, and then revealed a doorknob. Rose grabbed it, and pulled the door open.
Almost every petroleum lamp in the kitchen was turned off, leaving only the feeble light of the ovens to light up the room. As Rose and Andrew stepped inside, a house elf came running.
"Miss Weasley!" the elf cracked a grin.
"Hello Smilla." Rose said with a smile.
The old elf starred at the red-haired girl with big eyes.
"Miss Weasley hasn't visited Smilla in a while, and neither has Mister Weasley." Smilla said.
Knowing that Smilla probably referred to Fred, Rose sent Smilla a smile of sympathy.
"That's probably my fault. I caught him in wandering around the castle at night, and he almost got a detention for it." Rose told Smilla.
"Smilla is sorry to hear. But what can Smilla do for Miss Weasley?" the elf asked.
"I never got anything to eat for dinner. Do you have any leftovers or anything, I'm really hungry." Rose said with a smile.
"Of course Miss Weasley, Smilla would be happy to help!" the little elf exclaimed.
She disappeared only for a moment, then bringing back a couple of others elf, whom was caring a sack, which appeared to be filled with food. Rose thanked all the elves, including Smilla, before the elf turned towards Andrew.
"And how can Smilla help you, Mister Johnson?" the elf asked Andrew.
Andrew smiled at her.
"I'm just here to make sure that Miss Weasley gets safely back to her tower." Andrew said.
Smilla nodded. "Then Mister Johnson better escort Miss Weasley back to the tower."
Rose looked at the watch her mother had passed on to her. It was almost 10:30 pm. Curfew was on.
"Yeah, we better go." Rose said nervously, thinking about what would happen to her status as Prefect, if she was caught out of bed after curfew. And what would happen to Andrew's position as Quidditch Captain.
As they were heading out of the door, Smilla yelled after them and waved.
"Make sure to visit Smilla soon again, Miss Weasley and Mister Johnson."
Once again Rose and Andrew hurried through the Entrance hall. Luckily, they made their way up the marble staircase to second floor without seeing anyone, neither ghost, teacher or student. Once they got to the fourth floor, their route took them onto the smaller stairways, trying to avoid getting caught. But when they reached the fifth floor, they could both hear the easily recognizable sound of footsteps coming towards them. Someone was coming!
Rose grabbed Andrew by his arm, and pulled him down a little corridor, but by accident caused by the sudden hurry, Andrew's foot hit a flower decoration in a pot which stood just behind the corner. It didn't fall over, but it made quite some noise anyway. The sound of the footsteps changed their path towards the corridor. Rose dragged Andrew down at the end of the corridor, leaned into a doorway just left of a statue and whispered "Black cherry."
The door opened, and Rose hurried inside, closely followed by Andrew. After she silently shoot the door and bolted it from inside, Rose finally let go of the breath she had been holding in.
"That was a close call." She said.
But Andrew didn't hear her. He was busy admiring the room.
"It's fantastic!" Andrew exclaimed.
"It's just the Prefects bathroom." Rose said. As a Prefect, she was allowed access to it at any time she wanted. Right now, it was just a perfect hiding place.
Andrew turned around and looked into Rose's eyes. His hazel eyes were a stunning contrast to his midnight black hair. A hair color he had inherited from his mom. Cho Chang. Rose knew that this was the son of her uncle's first girlfriend. But that relation didn't really matter to her.
Andrew walked closer, and looked down into Rose's eyes.
"This room might be fantastic, but you're absolutely stunning." He said.
Rose felt her heart race along with the butterflies in her stomach when a thought hit her. They were completely alone. Normally, there was always someone nearby, whether it was in the common room, the Great Hall or outside. But right now, in this very moment, it was only her and Andrew.
Then every thought disappeared as Andrew leaned in for a kiss. And wow, what a kiss.
Rose shut her eyes, taking in the moment, as she put her arms around Andrews' neck. His hands was already on her hips. pulling her close.
While kissing her, Andrew moved forward, so that Rose suddenly found herself back against the wall. But she didn't really care, because the kiss was getting really hot by now.
Andrew suddenly lifted his lips from hers, making Rose aware of the dizziness, which probably came from lack of oxygen. She managed to take a short rush of breath before Andrew's lips again blocked everything out. Just as Rose thought she was going to pass out, Andrew lifted his lips once again, and pulled her into his chest.
"You… are… amazing." He gasped, short of breath.
Rose smiled into his chest.
Then she took a step back, and found herself back against the wall once more.
"We should probably go back." She said.
Andrew looked bleak.
"Yeah, we probably should." He said.
Rose started to push off the wall, but Andrew sneaked his hand behind her neck and pulled her into another kiss. When he pulled away again, he leaned into her ear.
"I love you Rose Weasley." He whispered.
"And me you Andrew." Rose whispered back with a smile.
The rest of the trip back to the common room was easy. Rose didn't even need the map in her pocket. Once they answered the riddle asked by the eagle on the door, Rose and Andrew slipped inside the common room. Andrew grabbed Rose from behind, turning her around, and started kissing her again.
Rose found herself lost in the kiss, when a voice interrupted.
"Where the HELL have you two been!?"
