"Rosalie?"
Was the first thing the redheaded girl heard as she, Ron, and Hermione hurried outside Three Broomsticks after Harry.
Turning around towards the oh-so-familiar voice, Rosalie saw Jocelyn and Andrew with two bags filled with sweets each.
"Oh!" Rosalie says, looking surprised. "Hey guys," said the girl nervously.
"Something wrong?" Lyn asked as she sensed her friend's weird change of behaviour.
"Nope! No, of course, no. Nothing's wrong..." She laughed nervously as Hermione and Ron both ignored the newcomers and were looking in the snow for any footprints that could be left by the boy who lived.
"Yeah, everything is obviously all right since you're acting all nervous and those two over there are staring at the snow as though they're trying to escape to the underground," Andrew said sarcastically as Jocelyn snickered, but nodded her head agreeing with him nonetheless.
"Okay fine, we're searching for something, yes." Rosalie gave in, knowing there's no point in lying since she's way too obvious to even try.
"What are you looking for?" Jocelyn asked curiously and a bit hopefully, wanting to spend time with her redhead friend. "Maybe I —"
Andrew cleared his throat.
"We could be any help?" the blonde corrected herself. "We all know there's much more luck in finding something together. Plus, us Hufflepuffs are really good at finding things."
She smiled widely.
"Oh, I'm sure." Rosalie let out an airy laugh, before looking back at her best friends, noticing them staring back at her expectantly. "But I'm sure we can find the thing ourselves, thank you guys for offering though," she smiled sadly, causing both Jocelyn and Andrew's smiles to drop.
"Oh no," Jocelyn shook her head smiling again. Although this time the smile was quite forced. "It's fine, we don't want to interrupt!"
"Yeah," Andrew nodded his head, wearing the same smile as the Hufflepuff. "Have fun with your friends."
"Thanks..." The redhead smiled at them one more time before turning away and walking towards Hermione and Ron.
"What was that about?" Hermione asked as soon as Rosalie reached them.
