Worlds Collide

Chapter Fifty Three

ROSELLA’S P.O.V
Not long after Professor Slughorn left, Ron had spoken up to Harry, “what are you playing at?” he asked him, “Dumbledore asked me to get to know him.” Harry said, “get to know him?” Ron questioned, “I don’t know. It must be important, if it wasn’t Dumbledore wouldn’t ask.” Harry said before we noticed that Hermioe had something on her lip and we mentioned it to her before she wiped it away before we continued to spend time at the Three Broomsticks. After a while had passed, the four of us left the Three Broomsticks and made our way back to the Castle before we heard someone scream before seeing something happening to Katie before she was eventually floating in the air before she dropped back onto the ground. After a few moment’s had passed, I went over to Katie to see if she was alright and I sighed to hear that she still had a heart beat, “she’s alright.” I said to the other’s before hearing Hagrid, “don’t get any closer. Get back all of you.” he said and I moved out of the way as Hagrid walked up to Katie and picked her up before seeing Harry walk over to what Katie had, “don’t touch that except for the wrappings. Do you understand.” he said to Harry and we just looked at each other before we all made our way back to the Castle. By the time we made it back to the Castle, the for of us had gone to Professor McGonagall along with leanne and she had told Professor McGonagall everything that had happened while she was with Katie and after a few moment’s Professor McGonagall spoke up again, “are you sure Katie did not have this in her possession when you entered the Three Broomsticks?” she asked, “It’s like I said, she left to go to the loo and when she came back she had the package. She said it was important that she deliver it.” Leanne said, “did she say to whom?” Professor McGonagall asked, “to Professor Dumbedore.” Leanne told her, “very well, you may go Leanne.” Professor McGonagall said before Leanne walked out of the room before Professor McGonagall spoke up to us, “why is it that when something happens, it’s always you four?” she asked us, “beats me.” I said to her, “believe me Professor, I’ve been asking myself the same question for six years.” Ron said to her, “you’re not the only one.” I said to him, “Severus.” Professor McGonagall said before Snape walked up and checked out the Necklace Katie had been given to give to Dumbledore. After a few moments had passed before Professor McGonagall spoke up, “what do you think?” she asked, “I think Miss. Bell is lucky to be alive.” Snape said, “she was cursed wasn’t she? I know Katie off the Quidditch Pitch she wouldn’t hurt a fly. If she was delivering that to Professor Dumbledore, she wasn’t doing it knowingly.” Harry said to them, “yes she was cursed.” Professor McGonagall said, “It was Malfoy.” Harry said and that’s when something snapped and I sped to Harry and I ended up pinning him against the wall, “he didn’t do anything.” I said to him, “Miss. Cullen, put him down this instant.” I heard Professor McGonagall say to me as my hand around his throat tightened, “you don’t have proof of him doing anything so don’t ever let me hear you say that again or I swear on your parents graves I will kill you myself before Voldemort gets the chance do so so himself. Do you understand me?” I said to him and he just nodded before letting him drop to the floor and I stormed out of the room.

After a while had passed, I ended up walking into an empty room before I leaned against the wall before sliding down before I sat on the floor as I started crying as I couldn’t keep it in anymore and not long after, I felt someone hugging me before I hugged them back not caring who it was and we stayed like that for a while. After a while had passed, I stopped crying and I managed to calm down and I wiped the tears from my cheeks before hearing someone speak up, “are you alright?” Hermione asked me, “yeah, I’ll be alright. I’m surprised you’re here actually.” I said to her, “I know you weren’t yourself so I wanted to check on you and make sure you’re alright.” she said to me, “there’s just a lot going on not just with me and Harry but with everything else and I don’t know how much more I can take.” I said to her, “I know it’s not easy right now but we’ll get through it. You’ll get through it.” she said to me, “maybe.” I said to her, “no, it’s not maybe. You’re going to get through it because you have people that are there for you, that will do anything for you.” she said to me and I sighed a little, “I need some air.” I said to her before I walked out of the room and made my way outside and by the time I did, I sped into the forest and I hunted for a while. After a while had passed, I made it back to the Castle and walked inside and made my way to the Common Room for the time being and went straight to Draco’s dorm to see him sitting on his bed before he saw me walk in, “I heard what happened. Are you alright?” he asked me, “Harry is blaming you for what happened to Katie and I snapped. How do you think I am?” I said to him and I sighed a little, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you.” I said to him, “it’s alright. I don’t blame you. Did you go hunting at all?” he said to me and I nodded, “yeah I did. I thought it would help but it didn’t work as well as I’d hoped.” I said to him and he hugged me, “I love you” he said to me, “I love you too.” I said back to him before the both of us shared a kiss and after a few moments, it had gotten heated before he gently laid me on the bed as he hovered over me before he stopped, “are you sure?” he asked me, “yes.” I told him before he managed to silence the room so no one would hear us and locked the door before we continued and after a while, the both of us had taken off our clothes as the only thing that was covering us was the blanket before I started getting nervous, “what’s wrong?” He asked me, “This is my first time.” I said to him, “I’ll be gentle.” he said to me and I smiled a little before I kissed him and he gently entered me causing me to moan a little before he continued and the room was filled with grunts and moans as the both of us made love that night. After a while, the both of us were just laying on the bed in silence before Draco spoke up, “do you feel better now?” He asked me, “much better.” I said to him and the both of us chuckled a little as I leaned up a little and kissed him and he held me closer to him before the both of us just continued to lay there and I just thought about everything before he brought me out of my thought’s as he spoke up, “what are you thinking about?” he asked me, “everything. I’m just worried about everything.” I said to him, “I know. You’re not the only one.” he said to me and the both of us continued to talk for a while before going to sleep later that night. 

Another day came around and it was the day of Slughorn’s Dinner Party and after getting ready, I walked out of my dorm before I left the Common Room with Blaise after making sure that Draco was going to be alright and Blaise and I made our way to where the Dinner Party was going to be and by the time we had gotten there, the both of us sat down next to each other and after everyone was there, Professor Slughorn had started dinner and we all talked with each other throughout dinner and once dessert rolled around, Professor Slughorn started getting to know some of us, “so tell me Cormack, have you seen anything of your Uncle Tiberius these days?” he asked Cormack, “yes sir, in fact I’m meant to go hunting with him and the Minister for Magic over the Holidays.” Cormack told him, “well, be sure to give them both my best.” Professor Slughorn said to him, “what about your Uncle Belby? For those of you who don't know, Marcus’s Uncle invented the Wolfsbane Potion. Is he working on anything new?” Slughorn said, “I don’t know. Him and my dad don’t get on. Probably because my dad says his potions are rubbish. His only Potion worth having is the stiff one at the end of the day.” Marcus said to him, “what about you Miss. Granger and Miss. Cullen? What exactly do your parents do in the Muggle world?” He asked us, “My dad's a Doctor.” I told him, “fascinating.” he said to me before Hermione spoke up, “my parents are dentists.” she said and there was a moment of silence before she continued, “they tend to people’s teeth.” she said, “fascinating. Now is that considered a dangerous profession?” Slughorn asked her, “no. although, one boy, Robbie Fenwick, did bite my father once. He needed ten stitches.” she said and I nearly choked on the icecream that I was eating and not long after, Ginny walked into the room, “ah, Miss Weasley come in, come in. I was beginning to worry” Slughorn said to her before she walked over to her seat, “I’m sorry. I’m not usually late.” she said before Harry stood up and after a few moment’s the both of them sat down, “no Matter, just in time for dessert. That is if Belby’s left you any.” Slughorn said to her before we continued with dinner. After the dinner Party was over, we all left and both Blaise and I made our way to the Common Room and by the time we had gotten there, I looked for Draco in his dorm to see how he was doing and found him sitting on the bed and I sat down next to him, “how are you doing?” I asked him, “alright. How was dinner with Slughorn?” He said to me, “That's good. It was rather boring actually.” I said to him, “have you eaten anything?” I asked him, “yeah, I ate.” he said to me, “good.” I said and after a while, the both of us walks out of the Common Room and made our way to the Room of Requirement and once we had gotten to the Vanishing Cabinet, I sat down and did our Homework while he did what he had to do with the Cabinet and after a while, I managed to finish with our Homework and started gathering everything just as he was finishing with the Cabinet, “let’s get out of here shall we” he said to me and the both of us left the Room of Requirement and made our way back to the Common Room for the night. By the time we had gotten there, Draco had gone to his dorm for the night and I let out a heavy sigh before Pansy spoke up, “how is he?” she asked me, “I think he’s going to be alright for now.” I said to her, “do you know what’s going on with him?” she asked me, “he doesn’t want anyone knowing what’s going on. If that’s alright with you.” I told her, “yeah, that’s fine. I just want to make sure that he’s alright.” she said and  nodded before the both of us continued to talk for a while before going to bed for the night.
