"Roseanne Weasley…You did WHAT!?" Asked an older brown-haired witch with a shocked expression.
She was reading in her library when a younger version of herself with red hair instead of brown barged in with a shocking confession. The older witch is wearing a black suit that was suddenly dirtied because the older witch had been interrupted while she was drinking some wine, the liquid fell on her clothes and the person who was being questioned was an eighteen-year-old witch, she was wearing black stilettos, tight blue jeans and a tight black shirt.
"Well…" The redhead suddenly started to remember what had led her to this situation.
Less than ten minutes ago Rose Weasley was walking around the streets of Diagon Alley, she was looking for the right gift to give to a special person, well, special would be an understatement as the whole world loves him, his birthday is getting closer and she wanted to give him a gift that he won't forget easily.
"If I want to confess my feelings to him, I also need to pick a good gift," the redhead said as she stared at the windows of the stores looking for something fit for a man in his forties.
Yes, Rose Weasley couldn't hide it anymore, having turned eighteen just a few months ago, she was already free to do whatever she wanted as long as she assumed the consequences of her actions, and she knew she was crazy for what she was planning to do but she didn't care anymore.
Not only she was planning on confessing to a man, something that's not usual even in the muggle world despite their progressiveness so, in the magical world is less than likely to happen, and adding to that, not only it was a man, it was a man who has the same age as her father.
One could say that things couldn't get worse for the redhead but there were more ingredients in the cauldron, turns out that the older man is the hero of the wizarding world, the one who defeated the darkest wizard in decades, and aside from that the scariest thing is that he happens to be her parents' best friend: Harry Potter.
"Now that he lives here again I may have a chance with him," the redhead said in a low tone with a blush on her face.
The man has been quite the mystery for the redhead, and she wouldn't feel this way if Harry didn't constantly write about his adventures in the newspapers, she wouldn't have been in this state because in the past she used to see him just a few days per year, only during Christmas week she was able to see him at most.
And what's the reason for Harry to not spend time with his friends and their loved ones? Well, aside from the fact that all of them have their own lives filled with duties and responsibilities, Harry Potter is a wanderer, he is a man who seems to not belong to a specific place and only moves around the world looking for knowledge and adventures.
The man might not spend too much time in Britain but there's one thing for certain, he doesn't seem to hate this place even after everything he lived, he now travels around the world discovering new magical cultures, spells, different types of wizards and witches in the world and not only he writes about all those things but he also sends pictures of him and the places that he visits, all that content gets published in 'the quibbler', an independent newspaper that belongs to one of Harry's best friends: Luna Lovegood.
But now it seems like the older man is taking a break from his job, he's a little tired of the constant travels and now he wants to focus on other things like resting and spending time with his friends and family, and it wasn't a casualty that he came back the day Rose was celebrating her eighteenth birthday party, after all, she told her mom that the gift she wanted the most was for Harry to be in her birthday and that's what happened.
Rose thought she had nothing but admiration towards the older man but the moment he joined her party, with his broken clothes that were letting to see his muscles and his beard that wasn't long but also it gave such a carefree style as if he didn't belong to anyone.
No one knows about her true feelings towards the older man thankfully as they would quickly make her forget about him but she didn't want to, maybe she was acting so spoiled, it was weird because she has never acted like that in the past but when it comes to Harry, it's hard for her to think logically.
The redhead kept looking at the shops trying to find something for the older man but then she was interrupted the moment she heard a pair of voices.
"Harry…I've been trying so hard, I'm just asking for a date, I think that's enough for me to make you fall in love with me," said a blonde witch wearing a red strapless mini dress that ended way above her knees while also wearing a pair of very high black heels.
Rose started to get worried, the blonde was her rival back at Hogwarts, however, Rose decided to not worry too much, they were out of school now, still, Rose was worried about what the jealous blonde could do now, after all, she never managed to beat Rose when it comes to scores, maybe stealing her man was her way to make Rose suffer for everything she put her through during those days, after all, it was so easy for Rose to get good grades compared to the blonde.
Rose couldn't help but feel worried, she hated to admit it but the blonde was stunning, she has always loved to brag about her appearance, and thanks to her family she has always managed to get the best clothes from the best fashionists in the world, Rose admits that when it comes to fashion and looks, the blonde is better than her.
That's why she's a little worried right now, Rose thought she had no competition but it seemed like she had been oblivious to this, this was the first time she was seeing these two in the same place after all, there was a lot of doubts in the redhead's mind, she wanted to know how these two got to know each other, but most of all, she wanted the blonde to fail.
"Sorry Deneb, I can't accept your feelings…I can't do that or least not now because I recently reconciled with your father," the older man said, he was wearing a black coat over his white shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots with a calm expression.
"Don't worry about my dad…He does everything for his princess, if I ask him to let me date you he won't deny that wish to me," the blonde said in a sweet tone and Rose was expecting him to reject her again.
After all, when Harry Potter makes a decision he hardly backs down, she has seen it in the way other women had tried to flirt with him but they only ended with their hearts broken due to him not playing around, Rose was expecting the blonde to get rejected one again but surprisingly Harry was silent for a few moments, it seems like he was considering about the blonde's proposal which made the redhead sweat once again.
"Sorry Deneb, I can't do that, I've known about your feelings for a very long time but sorry, there's someone else I like," Harry said with a serious expression, he hated to do this but he had to or else she would never leave him alone.
In different circumstances, he would have said yes but he'd hate to use the young woman only for pleasure, he has done a lot of that during his trips, and at this point in his life he's tired of that, right now he wants a serious relationship and he wants it to be with the right witch and he knows who's the right one but he's not sure if she likes him back.
"Wait!" The blonde suddenly grabbed him by his arm before he apparated away from there, Harry couldn't help but sigh.
"Leave him alone Malfoy, he has already made his decision," the redhead suddenly intervened, she was tired of seeing this scene, but most of all, she was tired of the blonde.
"Leave us alone Weasley this is none of your—" the blonde tried to say but soon Harry freed himself from the blonde's grip before he moved towards the redhead with a smile on his face.
"Rosie, what a pleasure to see you again!" Harry said cheerfully before he planted a kiss on one of the redhead's cheeks.
"It's nice to see you too…" The redhead said with a flustered expression.
"I'm glad to have found you here, I was on the way to see your mom, shall we go together?" Harry offered the redhead his hand.
The younger woman was blushing and feeling a little nervous but it didn't take too long for her to take his hand, it felt good, it was rough and strong, and she felt protected while holding his hand, it felt like a power was emanating from his hands, it looks like he didn't need her help.
"Oh no, I'm not letting you take him away from me you bitch!" the blonde suddenly said before she ran towards the redhead to start to fight her but she was too weak without her wand.
"Stop it you crazy snake!" Rose said before she freed herself from the blonde's weak grip.
But this caused the blonde to lose her balance, after all, her heels were so high that in the muggle world are usually used by strippers, so, either the blonde forgot how to use magic or she was faking all this, whatever her reason was, that didn't stop her from falling on the ground.
"That hurt…Help me…This crazy woman is trying to kill me!" The blonde screamed and soon a mob was formed around the two women and Harry.
It seems like the people only saw Deneb's body falling on the ground, and the blonde was happy because she planned all of this.
"Isn't that redhead the daughter of the minister?" One voice said and everyone looked at Rose's face with worried expressions.
Rose didn't know what to do, she felt panic starting to invade her body and soon she ran away from that place, she didn't even hear Harry calling for her and yet, she managed to hear Deneb say something.
"You're done Weasley, once my father knows about this, you and your family will be ruined!" Rose heard but she tried to ignore it.
Even if she was an adult, the redhead felt so lost and there was nothing she could do to escape from that, still, she couldn't stop herself from going towards her family home, it didn't take too long for the redhead to enter into her mother's office without knocking.
"So, that's what happened…" Hermione said with a worried expression. "I think we need to talk with the Malfoys before the press knows about this," Hermione quickly said, she hated to use her position for stuff like this but if what her daughter said was the truth then she was being unfairly accused of something.
Soon, both women were startled because someone was knocking on the door of the older woman's office.
"Uh…Sorry to barge unannounced but there's something we need to discuss," it was Harry and Rose was having a hard time looking at him.
Hermione just waved her hand so he could join them in the office.
"Rose…I know you're scared but you need to relax, they're not going to press charges…For now," Harry said with a serious expression.
"What? Why?" Rose was surprised but happy at the same time.
"I've spoken with Narcissa Black who in a few words is no other than Deneb Malfoy's grandmother, she's decided to intervene for you after I told her everything that happened a few moments ago," the older man said and the redhead couldn't stop herself from sobbing before she hugged him.
"Didn't know you were still being…'Friends' with her if you know what I mean," Hermione said sarcastically.
"Well, every time I was resting from my trips I was having a fun time with her," Harry said with a smirk. "However, she wants to see you, Rose," Harry said with a serious expression.
The redhead couldn't help but gulp, she had heard a lot of stories about that woman, and most of them had something to with her being a crazy murderer, to say that Rose was scared would be an understatement, but she understood that she needed to at least thank the older woman so, she nodded at Harry.
