To love a man who's locked

Encased in a beautiful gold frame

Hey Hey Hey guys, please lmk about how you're feeling about the story as I'm really excited for where its about to go!

Rose's POV

I arrived at the silent room. The room was flooded with a rainbow as Dumbledore had made a window fascinator that reflected the light beautifully. I sat on the edge of the desk looking around the room. It was full of shelves of books and papers and random magical objects Dumbledore had collected over the years.

- It is beautiful in the daytime isn't it?

A voice came from behind her. She jumped around and there he was, concealed to a watercolour painting in a beautifully embellished gold frame. He smiled down at her

Rose - Yes- It rather is isn't it

She replied. She looked up at his blue twinkly eyes as he smiled down on her.

Dumbledore - How are you my dear?

Rose - I've been better

I mean she had spent the last week in bed and the bags under her eyes didn't hide it either.

Dumbledore - I need you to know this Rose, you killing me was no accident. It wasn't an impulse of the moment decision

Rose - what do you mean professor

Dumbledore - On one of my travels I visited the Department of Mysteries, there I found a prophecy. It spoke in a riddle as they usually do. It said

You shall not come to death, by whom you think may cause it

For the flower grows beautifully, but it's thorns are sharp

Rose - Me?

Dumbledore - The prophecy spoke of a Rose, I knew that Severus wasn't going to kill me. It had to be you

Rose - Professor I-

Dumbledore - Listen to me very carefully Rose. The dark Lord now trusts you, I need you to utilise that trust as much as you can to help us win this

I- I was so confused. He leaned back in his chair breaking away from all his seriousness

Dumbledore - And how is your mother, really?

I was confused my the question I have to be honest

Rose - I think she is okay, she is hard to read, but I think she's getting through it. Have you seen her yet Professor?

Dumbledore - That's sort of why I'm so happy you came, I'm longing to see her. Will you- could you possibly-

His voice trailed off. I smiled

Rose - Of course, I'll go get her

I arrived at her office a minute later. I knocked on the door and entered slowly

McGonagall - Rose, my darling are you feeling better? Would you like some tea?

Rose - I'm feeling much better mother and no I can't stay for tea. I have a surprise for you

McGonagall - Rose, I'm really busy and I just-

I grabbed her hand and pulled her up out of her chair

Rose - I promise it's worth it

We arrived at Dumbledore's office

McGonagall - Rose this really isn't where I want to be right now

I pulled her in and walked her over to the portrait

Dumbledore - Minerva my darling how are you?

I saw her eyes fill up with tears, her hands sot over her mouth. I smiled at how happy she looked

Minerva - Albus I-

She was still crying, she hugged me tightly and whispered thank you in my ear.

They immediately began talking like everything was normal again. I slowly closed the door as they continued talking and headed down to the dungeons to find Severus.

I arrived at the cold door and knocked on it lightly

- Enter

Severus
