ROSELLA’S P.O.V
After Professor Quirrell took off his turban I noticed that there was another face on the back of his head before it spoke up, “Harry Potter we meet again. It also seems that you have brought an Abomination with you as well.” it said to Harry and I had gotten worried not knowing how he could have known about what I was before I noticed Harry Looking at me before looking back, “Voldemort.” Harry said to it, “yes you see what I’ve become. See what I must do to survive. Live off another, a mere parasite. Unicorn Blood can sustain but it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something that can. Something that conveniently enough lies in your pocket.” he said to Harry and the both of us were about to run away before a circle of fire surrounded the both of us, “Don’t be a fool. Why suffer a horrific death when you can join me and live.” Voldemort said to us, “Never.” Harry said to him, “bravery, your parents had it too. Tell me Harry, would you like to see your mother and father again together. We can bring them back. All I ask is for something in return” he said to Harry before he took out the stone from his pocket, “that’s it Harry. There is no good an Evil there is only Power. Together we’ll do extraordinary things. Just give me the stone.” he said to Harry, “you Liar.” Harry said, “kill him and the girl.” Voldemort said to Professor Quirrell before he pushed me causing me to fall and hit my head before everything went black. When the next day came around, I slowly woke up and looked round to see that I was in the Hospital Wing and I sat up before seeing that Draco was sitting next to the bed I was in, “how long have you been here?” I asked him, “not long. I heard you were in the Hospital a little while ago so I decided to pay a visit.” he said to me and I smiled a little before one of the nurses came over and checked on me to see how I was doing. After a while had passed, I was able to leave the Hospital Wing and after doing so, both Draco and I made it back to the Common Room for the time being and I spent some time with him for a while before the both of us made our way to the Great Hall along with everyone else. By the time we had gotten there, the both of us sat next to each other and Dumbldore eventually began the feast and we all started eating and I spent the entire time talking with Draco and the others.

After some time had passed, someone had gotten everyone’s attention and the entire room went quiet and Dumbledore stood up before speaking, “another year gone. And now as I understand it, the House Cup needs awarding and the points stand thus. In fourth place, Gryffindor with 312 Points. Third Place, Hufflepuff with 352 points. In Second Place, Ravenclaw with 426 Points. And in First Place with 472 Points” Dumbledore said to everyone and after everyone calmed down, Dumbledore spoke up again, “yes, yes well done Slytherin. Well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account and I have a few last minute Points to award. First, To Miss. Rosella Cullen who is willing to risk secrets to help her friends. I award Slytherin House 15 points. Second To Miss. Hermione Granger for the cool use of intellect while others were in grave parel. 50 Points. Third, to Mr. Ronald Weasley for the best played game of Chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years. 50 Points. And Fourth, to Mr. Harry Potter for Pure nerve and outstanding courage. I award Gryffindor House 60 Points. And finally it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies but a great deal more to stand up to your friends. I award 10 points to Neville Longbottom.” Dumbledore said and everyone cheered and after a few moments, he had gotten everyone’s attention again, “assuming that my calculations are correct, I believe that a Change of Decoration is in order. Gryffindor wins the House Cup.” he said to everyone while they all cheered and I sat there feeling a little bad that I didn’t win more and someone had gotten my attention and saw that it was Marcus, “don’t feel bad. Just be glad that you got some points in the end.” he said to me and I nodded and after a while, everyone had calmed down and we continued with dinner and spent the entire time talking with Draco the entire time. After dinner was over for the night, both Draco and I continued to spend time together as we continued to talk before the both of us noticed that we were the only one’s left in the Common Room, “so, what do you plan to do over the summer?” he asked me, “I’m not sure to be honest. My sisters will probably end up taking me shopping with them most of the time though.” I said to him and the both of us chuckled a little, “do they do that a lot?” he asked me and I nodded, “yeah, my sister Alice, she’s really into fashion so she’s gotta go out almost all the time and Rose is similar in a way, it’s just her personality is a little different compared to Alice.” I said to him and the both of us continued to talk before it got late and everyone started going to bed for the night.

After a while had passed, I couldn’t sleep as I tossed and turned and I continued to think about what had happened the night we found out that it was Professor Quirrell and the word Abomination kept playing through my head and began to wonder whether or not Voldemort knew what I was. After some time had passed, I felt someone sit down next to me and I looked to see that it was Draco, “how come you came back down?” he asked me, “I couldn’t sleep.” I told him, “Do you have something on your mind?” he asked me and I nodded, “do you want to talk about it?” he asked me and I shook my head, “it’s more of a personal matter.” I told him, “alright.” he said to me and the both of us talked for a bit as it got my mind off of Voldemort and what he said before I had gotten tired and decided to go to bed for the night. It was the next day and I was in my dorm packing my things and making sure that I had everything packed and ready to go before I walked out of my dorm and left the Common Room with Draco and the others and by the time we had gotten there, I sat with Draco and some of the others and we all talked with each other about everything that had happened throughout the year and what had happened for the House Cup, “you know, I think Dumbledore only did that because he favors Gryffindor the most.” Draco said to us, “at least Rosella got us some points though.” Goyal said to him, “only 15 points. He should have given her more for helping Potter and his friends in whatever they did.” Draco said to him, “Draco, it’s fine. It’s not worth arguing over.” I said to him, “still.” he said and I sighed a little, “you’re not going to get over this are you?” I asked him, “not for a while.” he said to me, “well, we got Six more years to go. We still have time to at least win it once.” I said to him, “I suppose you have a point.” he said to me and the four of us continued to talk for a while longer about everything. By the time we made it to the Station in London, both Draco and I got off the train and said our goodbyes before I found Esme and Carlisle and walked up to the both of them, “do you have everything?” Esme asked me and I nodded, “yeah.” I said to her before the three of us left and made our way home.
