Obsession

{Rosaleene}

"How long yet for us to arrive?" Max complained across me, pulling his blonde hair away from his face.

"Six years to this school, and you still hadn't figured out how long our ride takes?" Amy answered laughing and Max raised his eyebrow.

"It's like I hear Daniel talking about your sexual life" he answered and I bit my lips hiding a smile.

"Not cool mate" Daniel said trying not to laugh next to him.

"Not even okay, Maximus!" Amy yelled affected by his words but usually she is the kind of girl that doesn't care about anyone.

"What do you say, Rosaleene?" his eyes turned on me and I raised my eyebrows.

"Well, their sexual life is not really my business. But... You are not wrong" I said joking and Amy growled next to me.

"Jeez Rose, show some respect for your friend!" she started laughing.

"Hey guys, what do you think about You Know Who? What do you think will happen this year?" I asked and Daniel exhaled.

"These are not our stuff to deal with, Rosaleene. Let Harry Potter and his friends do it" Max said and I nodded, "Yes, but if he comes back, we will all be dead".

"Maybe he will never come again" Amy shook her shoulders not caring.

"Yeah, maybe" I sighed placing my hands on the table, tapping softly my fingers on it bored.

Suddenly, our compartment door opened and Slytherin's prefect from last year, Jhon Williams got inside.

"May I speak with you, Rosaleene?" he was saying to me and I nodded confused.

"Yeah, sure" I answered and stood up walking outside with him.

"You know I am the Head Boy this year. Do you want to be the Head Girl?" he asked and I wide opened my eyes surprised.

"Wait, me?" I asked not believing it.

"Yeah, Dumbledore suggested you" he said and I nodded, although I wanted to scream from the excitement.

"I will tell you when we arrive at school, okay?" I said and he simply told me a "Yes".

Basically, two seventh years are being chosen by Dumbledore to be the Head Boy and Head Girl. It is such an honor for me, and you are basically in charge of prefects and also you help whenever you are needed to.

"So? What did the hot Jhonny wanted to say to you?" Amy asked shaking her shoulders laughing.

"They want me to be the Head Girl" I said and Max gasped.

"Are you kidding me? That's fucking amazing!" he said clapping his hands.

"Yeah, sure. Someone will now cover our asses each time we get caught" Daniel said and I laughed rolling my eyes.

"I mean it's not a bad idea. I think I will do it", Amy hands covered my shoulders cheering in my ear.

"This is definitely going to be our year" she added and I looked over, Daniel's eyes met mine looking at me weird. I tried to ignore it and listen to Amy's experiences about her trip to Europe.

"God, I am starving!" Amy complained, one second before giant plates full of food appeared in front of us.

"I missed this meat so much" Max said while putting lamb on his plate.

"Okay, but let's hope that our teachers this year will be better than last", Amy crossed her fingers and with my side sight I noticed Dumbledore on the step.

"Welcome, welcome back! Another new year of Hogwarts full of adventures is waiting for you!" he said and Daniel whispered, "that's for sure".

"You know that I don't like long speeches, so let's meet our new teachers!".

The truth is, I never had a problem with my teachers, I was also a good student. But, last year the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher was something else. She really hated me, and I assume it was because of my American accent.

"All the teachers remain the same, except for D.A.D.A. Please give a warm welcome to professor Remus Lupin, and we really thank him for accepting to be our teacher this year!" he said  and I was really relieved, things were going exactly how I wanted them to.

"Look at the new teacher, Rose" Amy twisted my shoulders, but Dumbledore was blocking my view.

"It's okay, I will see him at our lesson" I shook my shoulders, continuing eating my food.

"Welcome back, students!" professor McGonagal cheered to us.

"Good to see you" Maximus smiled and she chuckled. He always liked messing with her.

"Here are your new timetables. Have a great start!" she said while giving each one of us a parchment.

"Okay, so we share all of our lessons together, except Care of Magical Creatures . I have Muggle Studies that time" she said annoyed and I nodded, comparing our timetables.

"Hey Max, let me see yours" I said and he gave it to me.

"Me and Max share everything together, like you and Daniel. We are just going to be separated one and a half hour a day" I said and she pouted.

"It's okay, better than last year. Remember when we only had two classes together?! I couldn't handle it!" she complained and I giggled.

"Yes, but me and you had three", we all watched at Daniel, "but we only appeared in two", he said playfully and Amy blushed.

"Shut up, Daniel. Otherwise you won't miss a single period this year" she said teasing him and he raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, we will see about that".

While they were still arguing I took my timetable to see it once more.

On the first glance, it looks boring, but we are seniors. We will get used to it.

"I really need to smoke" Daniel sighed, rubbing his knees looking around.

"Me too" Maximus said checking his pockets.

"I have them with me, let's go" he continued and they stood up.

"I will join" I said, since I finished with my food.

"I will pass, I will go to my room, getting my stuff out of my trunk" Amy said and started walking with us, but our ways split up when she turned left to go at the Gryffindor corridor.

"I just hope no kid took our spot, I don't mind kicking their asses" Daniel said and I snorted, "Yeah, easy with them tiger".

Our spot was actually, outside of the castle, the Covered Bridge. It wasn't like a place that we could stay hidden, but no one was going there and that seemed perfect to us.

"Hey Rose, do you want?" Daniel offered me a cigarette but I nodded negative.

After they finished their smoking, I realized that I wanted to do one.

"Shit, it's getting cold" Max said and Daniel agreed.

"Let's just go inside" he said and Max started walking.

"Wait, uhm I want to smoke now. I will be fine, don't worry" I interrupted and he gave me two cigarettes and his lighter.

"Are you sure?" he asked and I nodded, ensuring him.

"Alright, see you later" they said and left me alone.

I took a deep breath, observing the view before placing the cigarette on my mouth. With one hand I was blocking the air and with the other I was holding the lighter. After a few seconds, I inhaled and then released the smoke through my lips, watching it as it was slowly flying away. I heard steps next to me, and I assumed that it was Maximus, forgetting something like he always does.

"What did you forget this time?" I asked without looking but got no response.

Confused, I turned my head around and almost chocked with my cigarette, "Shit, uhm hi".

An older man was watching me, smiling with my reaction.
