Book 2: Chapter 11

        The train ride was normal I guess. Ron and Hermione were bickering in the seat in front of Harry and I. Cathy and Fred had gone off somewhere, and Ginny had joined our group a while ago. She had sent me a piece of parchment asking if I could talk to her for a minute, which I agreed to. I followed Ginny out into the hallway and into a surprisingly empty compartment. "I'm sorry." Ginny apologized.
        "What for?" I asked confused, the only thing that she had ever done to me is have a crush on Harry, and it wasn't even huge.
        "For being so rude to you all summer, and for having a crush on Harry. I know you like him, maybe even love him. I don't want to take that relationship away from you!" She answered, looking at me with hopeful eyes.
        "Awe Gin! Of course I forgive you! You can't help it that you had a crush on Harry! And besides, I was rude to you as well." I smiled, hugging her. I heard her giggle, hugging me back.
        "Thanks Rosie." Ginny mumbled.
        "No problem!" I pulled away, my hands on her shoulders. "Now, I know that you wouldn't just let me have Harry without you being interested in someone else, who?" I squealed, smirking. Ginny blushed hanging her head.
        "Promise you won't tell?" She mumbled again.
        "Promise." I said sincerely. She mumbled something incoherent. "Sorry?"
        "Draco." She stuttered. My jaw dropped, and my eyes widened.
"Y-You, you like Draco? Draco Malfoy?" I asked surprised. A Weasley and a Malfoy? I didn't think things could get any weirder. But then again, they would be cute together... She nodded sheepishly, her face as red as a tomato. "Awe! You guys would look cute together! Though, I don't know what your family would think...especially Ron and Mr. Weasley." I shuddered thinking about it.
"I know. That's why you can't tell! Only Mione and Cath, okay?" Ginny asked. I nodded, smiling.
"Oh, and there's an extra bed in our dorm room!" I winked, before leaving the compartment. I knocked on the closed door of our compartment. Harry opened it, and smiled.
"What kept you?" He asked, stepping aside so I could enter.
"Ginny and I were talking." I smiled. He raised an eyebrow suspiciously, he knew we didn't like each other. "We made up." I shrugged, grabbing my robes seeing that everyone had changed. Harry and Ron gave me a surprised look while Mione looked relieved.
"But you guys hate each other!" Ron exclaimed. The compartment door slid open again, and there stood a giggling Ginny.
"Not anymore!" We chorused, and erupted into a fit of laughter.
"Bloody hell." Ron groaned.
"Go get changed you two!" Mione said sternly, though she was giggling. "We're almost there!" She finished.
       Ginny and I mock saluted her, before Ginny and I finished grabbing our robes and walked to the changing rooms at the back of the train. We quickly changed, before getting back to the compartment just in time. Our train pulled into the Hogsmead station, and we all left, our trunks were left on the shelve thingys as all ways. We said goodbye to Ginny. And I saw Cathy running towards me. "Good Luck!" I said, hugging her.
        "Thanks." She smiled, before walking of to join the first years. I waved, running to catch up with the others. Harry was waiting for me, and we walked to were ever we were going together. But once we got there, the carriages were gone.
        "Were, were are the carriages?" I asked. Harry shrugged. "Guess we're walking." I grumbled. I pulled out my wand, muttered 'lumos' and walked forward, Harry following.
Once we got to the gate, we tried opening it but it wouldn't budge. "What the-" I muttered. "Alohamora." I whispered on the lock. It didn't work.
"Why can't we get in?" Harry asked, pushing his glasses up on his face.
        "Dunno." I muttered, racking my brain for something. "Maybe we can fly your nimbus into the school?" I asked, biting my lip. I found that this was a new habit of mine, I don't even know were it came from!
        "Maybe." Harry said, "but I don't have it. It's with the luggage." Harry said.
        "Mr. Potter and Ms. Black." A cold voice said from behind us. We whipped around and stared straight at Snape.
        "Professor!" Harry and I exclaimed.
        "And what would you two be doing out here? The feats is inside I believe." He sneered.
        "Well, you see sir, I was saying goodbye to Cathy and Ginny, and met up with Harry on my way to the carriages, but there weren't any, so we decided to walk. But we couldn't get in through the gates and we have no way to contact anyone." I exclaimed as calmly as possible. It was very hard though while he glared at me like I had killed someone.
"Follow me." He drawled, mumbling a spell which made the gate open. Harry and I exchanged worried looks as we followed Snape into the castle. We knew Snape would do anything to get us in trouble. He lead us up the stone stairs of the castle, through the entrance hall and to the dungeons. "Wait here." He demanded, leaving his office. We watched him leave before facing each other.
        "What do you reckon he's gonna do?" I asked, a sinking feeling appearing in my stomach.
"I dunno." He sighed. He sat down in a chair on the side of the room, and I went over to him. I was tired, so I'm using Harry as a pillow. I sat beside Harry, (the chair was big enough for the both of us,) and laid my head on his shoulder, smiling. I heard Harry chuckled and wrap an arm around me. We sat and waited for about 10 to 15 minutes before Snape, Minnie, and Dumbledore walked into the office. Harry and I jumped apart, faces red. Minnie and Dumbledore chuckled a bit.
        "What is the meaning of this, Severus?" Dumbledore asked casually, his blue eyes twinkling.
"Well professor, I was walking along the wall, making sure the gates were secure when I stumbled upon Ms. Black and Mr. Potter here." Snape said, glaring at us. "It was a most peculiar sight." Snape's voice echoed of the walls of the dungeons, and the candles made him look even more creepy.
"We were Professor, but Snape hasn't told you the whole story." I interrupted.
"And what is it that he left out, Ms. Black." Dumbledore asked, amusement clear in his twinkling blue eyes.
"Please sir, call me Rose." I smiled. "Anyway, the whole story is that I was saying goodbye to Ginny and Cathy, who were both being sorted today, and then I went to the carriages. I met Harry along the way, and we walked there together-" I was cut off by Snape,
"And what was Potter doing there in the first place when he could have gone with the rest?" Snape asked.
"I was waiting for Rose. Didn't want her left behind." Harry shrugged, looking Snape in the eye. I nodded, then continued,
        "But when we got to were the carriages were supposed to be there were none. So Harry and I decided to walk up to the castle, but the gates were locked and alohamora didn't work. Snape found us when we were trying to come up with a plan." I shrugged. Dumbledore nodded.
        "I see nothing wrong here Severus." Dumbledore said cheerily, winking at us. I giggled, watching Snape's face turn angry and agitated. "Now, if that is all I suggest Mr. Potter and Ms. Rose," he paused looking at me with a smile, "Go to the feast. Unless of course, they would like to eat here and then leave to their dormitories." Dumbledore raised an eyebrow.
        "We'll eat here Professor, don't want to attract to much attention." I smiled, wrapping my robes tighter around myself.
        "Very well." And with a swish of his wand, a platter of sandwiches and goblets of pumpkin juice sat on a small table in front of Snape's desk.
        "Oh and Potter, Black, the password to the common room is bulder dash." Minnie said, before leading the way out of Snape's office. Snape walked out gloomily, a permanent scowl on his face.
Harry and I are till we were full them made our way to the common room. "Bulder Dash." I said to the fat lady, and walked inside when the portrait hole swung open. Harry and I sat down in front of the fireplace, playing exploding snap. I also had some left over chocolate frogs from the train, so I pulled those out and we smacked on those. Now we just have to pass the time until the others get here...
