Worlds Collide

Chapter Twenty Three

ROSELLA’S P.O.V
After some time had passed, I eventually woken up and sat up and sat there for a moment and thought about the night before as I remembered the dog and after a while, I sat up and left the Room before seeing Draco walk into the Common Room before he noticed me before he walked up to me, “are you alright? I haven’t seen you all day.” he said to me, “it’s alright, I just wasn’t feeling well that’s all.” I told him, “alright, are you feeling any better?” he asked me, “yeah, I’m feeling a little better.” I told him as everyone else started walking into the Common Room before hearing Pansy speak up, “hey, I hadn’t seen you in any of the classes today so I’ve collected your homework.” she said to me, “oh, thanks Pansy.” I said as I took it from her, “your welcome.” she said before walking away, “anyways, how was your day?” I asked him, “it was good. I spent most of the day wondering where you were though.” he told me and the both of us chuckled a little, “sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you.” I said to him, “don’t be sorry. I’m just glad you’re alright.” he said to me and I smiled a little before I started doing the homework Pansy had given me and Draco helped me with some of it and the both of us talked and had a few laughs together as well and by the time I was done, the both of us continued to hang out together before heading to the Great Hall for dinner that night and by the time we had gotten there, I sat with Draco and the other’s  and we continued to talk about everything throughout dinner until it was over and we all began to leave. By the time I made it to the slytherin Common Room with Draco and the others, I ended up sitting alone for a while thinking to myself about everything before I jumped a little when I felt someone touch me and I looked to see that it was Draco, “sorry. Are you sure you’re alright?” he asked me, “yeah, I just think everything is getting to me that’s all.” I asked him, “Is it about Sirius Black or something?” he asked me, “a small part of it.” I said to him, “what is it?” he asked me, “my Boggart.” I told him, “what does that have to do with anything? Do you know who it was?” he asked me and I nodded, “yeah, but I can only say so much about it.” I told him, “why is that?” he asked me, “just a personal thing I can’t really talk about.” I told him, “That's fine. Just as long as you’re alright then I’m alright with it.” He told me, “Thanks for being understanding about this.” I said to him, “No problem.” he said and I smiled a little before the both of us continued to talk and hang out for the rest of the night before it got late and we had decided to go to bed for the night and as soon as I walked into my dorm and got into bed for the night, I quickly fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. A Few days had passed, the weather was getting colder and it was the day of the Quidditch Match as it was Gryffindor playing against Hufflepuff and I had gone to watch with Draco and the other’s and it was pouring outside and after both teams had gotten into position, the Match had begun as soon as Madam Hooch threw up the ball.

After some time had passed, the Match had continued before we all began to notice something falling from the sky before seeing that it was Harry as he must have fallen off his broom before someone managed to slow down the fall before we eventually had to leave. After the Match was over, we eventually made it back to the Castle and after some time had passed, the weather was finally clearing up and I wanted to go for a walk as I wanted to be alone for a while before I heard something and looked around before hearing footsteps and soon saw Harry and Professor Lupin walking up and stop as they stood looking out at the clearing and I decided to walk up to them to see what they were up to, “hey Rosella.” Harry said to me, “hey, how are you doing?” I asked him “alright I guess.” he said before saying hi to Professor Lupin before they started talking about the Boggart situation, “Professor, why do the Dementors affect me so? I mean, more than everyone else?” Harry asked him, “Is that why you fainted on the train the night we got here?” I asked him and he nodded before they continued talking about it, “Listen, the Dementor’s are one of the foulest creatures to walk this Earth, they feed on every good feeling. Every happy memory until a person is left with absolutely nothing but his worst experiences. You are not weak, Harry.  The Dementors affect you most of all because there are true horrors in your past. Horrors your classmates could scarcely imagine. You have nothing to be ashamed of.” Professor Lupin said to him, “I’m scared Professor” Harry said to him, “well, I’d consider you a fool if you weren’t.” Professor Lupin said to him, “I need to know how to fight them. You could teach me, you made that Dementor on the train go away.” Harry said to him, “there was only one that night.” Professor Lupin told him, “but you made it go away.” Harry mentioned, “well, I don’t pretend to be an expert Harry. But as the Dementor’s seemed to have developed a particular interest in you, perhaps I should teach you but after the Holidays. For now, I need to rest.” Professor Lupin said to him as we stopped walking and the three of us continued to talk for a while longer. After talking with Professor Lupin and Harry for a while, we finally made it back to the Castle and after doing so, I made it to the Slytherin Common Room for the time being and I had gotten some homework don before Draco sat down in front of me at the table as I was putting my things away, “what were you doing?” he asked me, “I just finished up with some homework.” I told him, “oh. Do you want to go for a walk before dinner?” he asked me, “sure, why not.” he said and the both of us walked around and had a few laughs before heading to the Great Hall for dinner and the both of us continued to talk and laugh a little the entire time. When dinner was over for the night, everyone had left the Great Hall and I eventually made it to the Slytherin Common Room for the night and I got changed into something comfortable before spending the rest of the night hanging out with Draco and the other’s

It was another day and The weather was colder and there was snow on the ground and it was another Hogsmade weekend and I was able to go along with Draco and the others and I had been walking in and out of the shops  before I noticed footprints but no feet that are causing them before I ended up following them before I managed to bump into Hermione and Ron as they were following them as well, “who is that?” I asked them hoping they’d know, “it’s Harry. He brought his Invisibility Cloak with him.” Hermione said to me as we continued to follow him before we ended up finding him in a clearing in a wooded area before Hermione walked up to Harry as I heard him crying a little and shortly after she had taken off the Cloak, Hermione spoke up, “Harry what happened?” she asked him, “he was their friend and he betrayed them. HE WAS THEIR FRIEND. I hope he finds me because when he does, I’m going to be ready. When he does, I’m going to kill him.” Harry said and we stayed with him for a while before we eventually left and made it back to the Village and I managed to find Draco and the others and continued to walk around and when it was time to leave, we all managed to make it back to the Castle, I had gone to the Common Room for the time being and I put everything away in my Dorm Room before spending some time with Draco and the other’s before heading to the Great Hall for dinner later that night and Draco told me everything that had happened with him during the Hogsmeade trip and I laughed a little, “it’s not funny. I was nearly dragged to the bloody shrieking Shack.” he said to me, “oh come on, you can’t honestly believe that place is seriously haunted.” I told him, “it is, everyone says so.” Crabbe said to me and I sighed a little knowing why people might think that but kept it to myself as we continued to talk throughout the rest of dinner. After dinner was over, everyone had left the Great Hall and I eventually made it back to the Slytherin Common Room for the night and I had gotten some homework done before I had gotten changed into something comfortable and after a while had passed, I was the only one left in the Common Room as I was thinking about everything for a while before I was brought out of my thought’s when I felt someone sit down next to me and I saw that it was Draco and the both of us talked for a while as he managed to take my mind off of everything for the time being before the both of us had gotten tired and we decided to go to bed for the night and once I walked into my dorm and got into bed, I quickly fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow hoping that everything will blow over sooner rather than later.
