The game of Quidditch against Slytherin had been brilliant. Charlie had got the snitch about two hours into the game. It was their first game and they had won. Bill came onto the field hugging her and swinging her around. Then the second kiss she ever got from him. She blushed as Charlie chuckled and said. "Kissing now are we?" Bill laughed and shoved his brother then slapped his back telling him he had done good in the game. Bill's hand slid into her squeezing her hand. He started walking with her and the rest of the team and other Gryffindors. It was time for dinner.
The hand holding was more and more these days. Bill seemed to be more comfortable with their relationship. Well, she guessed that was bad she was not uncomfortable with the relationship. It was because she was scared to open up with Bill. Charlie came over and threw an arm around his shoulder laughing. "We showed them who was the best today Row." She never did mind the nickname. Rowan laughed and smirked. "That we did." She was enjoying Charlie they had become good friends. She had tried not to make friends but when she became Bill Weasley's soul bond. It was like the people that surrounded him were her friends too.
Rowan breathed out that night setting in the window seal. She guessed, that trying to be a loner was not a smart idea. Ember was sitting on the window seal as well. Rowan had the window open it was not cold and had no wind. She stroked the fur of Ember she made soft sounds of Rowan. Ember liked Bill and Charlie pet her. Usually, that was when they were outside. Ember was getting spoiled the two brought her treats as well. That was when she saw something flash near the Forbidden Forest. She looked at the time it was four in the morning. She watched a bit more, then went to bed.
She was walking down the corridors after breakfast that morning. She stopped him, pushing him up against the wall. Then they heard Professor McGonagall speak. Hagrid had not seen who did it. There were symbols burned to the ground. I didn't recognize them, but Dumbledore looked them over. She heard the teachers leaving as she started to walk with Charlie. "We have a class near the Forbidden Forest we need to get a look at those symbols." She walked along and rubbed her throat. "My gut feels like something is off."
Charlie walked with her and nodded. Charlie spoke. "I think it's odd as well. Mostly with how MacGonagal sounds, she is always serious. Though there seemed to be some worry in her voice. If we do this we need to do it quietly and we should get Bill to help as well. We can talk to him later today by the Great Lakes. " She nodded it was a good idea to get with Bill. He had already had an adventure last year, so he had more practice with it. They walked down towards the Forbidden Forest. They were early about twenty min because Charlie liked to stop by and talk with Hagrid.
Charlie wasn't the only one who liked Hagrid. Ember loved him and Rowan enjoyed the man. He was sweet and he knew a lot about the creatures. He also knew his father when he was in school. They had tea a lot and talked. So Hagrid had stories about her father. While they were there Ember had perched on a chair as Hagrid gave her some meat. Also betting on her and telling her how pretty she was. She smirked she liked Hagrid no matter how ugly the magical creature was to him they were all beautiful. Phoenix was beautiful, so she agreed with Hagrid there.
When they got to class, they got a look at the burn marks and on her notes, she drew them. Somehow they looked familiar. One of the students asked about them and their professor let it know that they couldn't seem to clean it up. Then he blushed and got back to the subject of the Hippogriffs that we were studying. When they were given the chance to pet them. She listened to the instructions. She remembered how she treated Ember. She was glad that she got to pet the creature. There was also the fact she had done this her father had let her. Charlie was able to pet one a swell. She chuckled at the ecstatic look in Charlie's eyes.
After lunch, Charlie had gone to get Bill. She was already standing at the Great Lakes. Bill walked up to her and kissed her cheek. All this damn kissing she thought. She was getting us to it somewhat. It still made her belly warm. She told Bill what they had heard from MacGonagal. Then Bill spoke up. "Yeah, I heard Snape talking about it to someone. They can't seem to figure out how to erase the marks no spell or potion seems to work. " Rowan listened as she tapped her cheek. "I think there may be a spell or potion out there. They just have not found it." She breathed out. " What we need to do is maybe get a bit of the dirt that was marked on the figure what made the marks?"
Charlie thought about it as he nodded. "I can do that I half to go see Hagrid before dinner. He wanted to have teas to talk about dragons. I can do it before I go in there and then will figure out where to go from there." They decided that was a good idea as they headed to their next classes. Bill went to him as Rown and Charlie went to Charm class.
