Blinded by the thorns- F.W.

chapter 3

"Romee! Wake up, you fool! We are late for breakfast!" I hear Patricia say. I slowly open my eyes and stretch. I check my muggle watch, just to realise I was actually not late. In fact, Patricia had woken me up 10 minutes before breakfast starts. And for the record, breakfast starts at 7 and finishes at 9.

"It's only 6.50, why did you wake me up?" I ask confused. She takes a look at me and instantly starts to laugh uncontrollably. 

When she finally calms down, she looks at me up and down and says "Well, I actually woke you up now because Lee Jordan invited us and Roger to the Gryffindor table for breakfast today at 7.15. But, judging by how your hair looks like" she paused, trying not to laugh "having extra time to fix it, will do you good.

I have absolutely freaked out now and immediately run to the mirror. 

"Oh-shit." My ,usually, shiny, neat and full of bouncy curls hair, is now frizzy and full of knots. "God damn my mother's genes! Look at how my hair is! What am I going to do now?"

"I would suggest taking a shower, but we only have twenty minutes and your hair will take longer than that to be back to normal..." Patricia said trying to surpress a laugh. 

I look at her and then back to the mirror. Great. Now that Fred Weasley will see me like this, he will never stop messing with me.

I grab my uniform and start getting dressed , and then I grab my comb. The only way to deal with my messy hair now is to put it in a ponytail. 

Patricia and I make our way to the Great Hall. Walking in, I spot the twins. However, none of our friends has arrived yet. 

I instantly touch my hair, attempting to see if it is still in the neat ponytail I had put it.

Sitting down at the table we greet each other. I smile at George and now my attention turns to Fred, my face straight. 

He turns to look at me with a grin in his face. "Rosier! What a pleasure to see you!" he said, just like yesterday.

"Good morning, Wealsey!" I say grabbing a slice of bread.

As I put butter on my slice, Patricia and George begin to discuss about Moody, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I notice Fred staring at me.

I cast a look at him and he grins. That freaking grin. It makes me want to punch him.

I turn back to my breakfast and begin to eat. If this is how my day starts, then I am going to need a good breakfast.

A while later, Lee Jordan and Angelina Johnson join us. I greet both of them and look around to see if Roger is anywhere to be seen. 

To my surprise, he was. He jogged inside the Great Hall, fixing his belt at the same time.

"Sorry guys, I slept in..." he said breathing heavily. I just noticed that his hair was also messy.

"Really? With who?" I said chuckling, the rest of the people there bursting in a laugh. Roger almost laughed along, but decided to pretend to be offended. 

He put his hand in his chest and said "Wow, do you really think of me that low, Rosier?" 

"Actually, yes!" I said nodding towards the entry of the Hall. There,  Louise Mackenzie was standing. Her hair was messy too and she was fixing her tie and robes. While walking to the Ravenclaw table, she shot a look our way, towards Roger more specifically. 

Roger sat down and we all began to eat and chat. 

When the bell rang, we all headed to our classes. 

My day starts with Muggle Studies. Oh, how bored I get in this class...

Classes are over for the day and I make my way to the Ravenclaw Tower.
