Hey guys! I'm so sorry for not updating in a while! I've been busy with school, and wassick for a while!
Well, it's my birthday today (yeah!), and I've got a lot planned for the weekend, so unfortunately I won't be able to update in a while... But I'll be back on track as soon as possible, updating with more chapters about my OTP :D
"Rose, can I have a word with you?" a cold voice sounded from behind Rose's back.
As she turned around, she found herself looking up at Andrew.
"Why would she want to talk to you?" Lisa attacked immediately, not giving Rose a chance to answer.
"Yeah, I see absolutely no reason, why Rose would feel like talking to you." Camille joined.
Rose sighed.
She was back at Hogwarts, full of energy after spending the rest of the Christmas holiday at her grandparents together with Roxanne and Fred. But this situation made it feel like that energy was already long gone.
"Girls." Rose said, trying to keep the irritation out of her voice. Then she looked at Andrew.
"What do you want?" She asked coldly.
"Is it true that you're dating Malfoy?" Andrew asked.
Rose looked at him confused.
Then she couldn't help but starting to laugh.
Andrew's eyes narrowed. "What?" he asked annoyed.
Rose's gaze turned cold as ice, as her laughter stopped abruptly.
"I weren't the one to break up our relationship because I couldn't help but sucking the face of some other girl. You were the one to do that. And now you come here, and are so dumb as to think, that you have the right to know whom I'm dating and whether I'm dating? You know what? You don't have even close to any bloody right to even talk to me!"
Rose only realized that she had started to shout, when the entire Great hall became silence and starred at her.
Andrew's face was bright red after Rose's exclamation.
"Fine." He snarled. "I just wanted to say that I hope he'll break your heart."
Then he walked away.
Rose turned back around, looking down at her breakfast. "Why did I ever fancy him?" she asked herself.
"You okay?" Lisa asked.
Rose nodded, still not looking up.
"Lis, we have to go." Camille said.
"Are you okay until lunch?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah." Rose said.
After Camille and Lisa left for classes, Rose sat alone for a while at the Ravenclaw table.
The second she started to rise, she felt a hand at her shoulder.
"Rose? You okay, cousin?" Fred asked.
Rose forced a smile. "Yeah, just had a bad ex-boyfriend moment." She said.
"Yeah, I heard that." Fred said, smiling weakly.
"You wanna take a walk?" he then asked.
Rose nodded. "Yeah, sure."
Rose and Fred walked around the grounds in silence for a while.
Then Fred spoke. "You want me to get James and Albus and rough him up a bit?"
Rose laughed. "No, Andrew isn't that bad, I should be able to take him out myself."
"No doubt about it." Fred smiled at her. "Then what about Malfoy?" he asked.
Rose felt the blush creepy up her cheeks again. She really had to learn how to keep that under control.
She hadn't seen him yet after coming back from holiday, but the sweet words from the letters she had received still burned in her mind. After Christmas morning, he had continued to update her, and she had returned his letters every time.
"No, neither him." Rose said.
"Just let me know." Fred smiled.
After a little while he talked again. "I actually dragged you out here because I need your advice." He said.
Rose looked at him. "My advice?" she asked.
Fred nodded. "Yeah… I could really use some insight into the mind of girls. Like, what your species view as charming, and how to keep you under control." He joked.
Rose looked at him with a bright smile. "So, you've found the one?" she asked teasingly.
Fred grinned. "Well, perhaps, but don't you dare tell Roxanne. She'll never let it down."He said.
Rose grinned back at him. "Too late, I think she has already figured it out."
Then she turned serious. "I'm not quite sure that I'm qualified to answer your questions."
Fred turned just as serious, a look Rose hadn't seen on him often. "Rose, I don't care. I'm totally lost right now, and I want to make this right. I've never wanted to commit myself before as I do now. Please help me out."
Rose couldn't help but stare a little, wonderingly.
"Alright, I'll do my best. What do you need to know?" She then asked.
After afternoon classes Rose wanted a quick shower before heading to supper.
She headed for the prefects bathroom, hoping to get it for herself. She was lucky. The room was empty.
She walked across the cold, hard, marble floor, and turned the taps.
While Rose lay in the bathtub, she tried to let every thought go. But she didn't really succeed. Andrew's words kept replaying in her head.
Normally, Rose would feel calm after having spend some time in the huge bathtub. But not this time.
She still felt tense as she got out and dried herself with one of the soft towels.
Once Rose had put on her clothes and put her half dried hair into a ponytail, she started to head towards the Great Hall.
But she never got far, before a group of Slytherins blocked her way.
I'll try to update as soon as I can! Until that, continue to R&R
