Toujours [HarryPotterFanFiction] **COMPLETED**

..SecondMeeting..

As the weeks came to an end, students began to fill up the halls. I was excited to see my friends again but also nervous because I had finally gotten Dumbledore's owl arranging the next meeting.

It was tonight.

I stood in the Great Hall doorway, watching each person make their way inside the castle, shrugging off their jackets.

I bite my lip as Draco makes his way inside the castle with Pansy attached to his side.

I internally groan, as Draco tells the others to go ahead, and he would join them inside. They didn't seem to fond of the idea, especially Pansy who shoulder bumped me as she passed.

Draco stops beside me, a small smirk playing on his lips. "Hey Rosie. Enjoy your holiday?"

I roll my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. "What do you want, Malfoy?" I ask, annoyance clear in my voice.

"You okay?" Draco asks, his playful dimenor gone, replaced with concern.

"No, I'm not. So why don't you go and scurry back to Parkinson, I'm sure she misses you" I say, pushing past Draco and out into the crisp January morning.

"Where have you been?" I ask Harry as I meet him in the courtyard.

Harry's dressed in casual clothing with Ron by his side. Ron is wearing casual clothing with a hand made sweater I assumed his mother made him.

They both look to me as I join them. "Train was late leaving. Apparently it's banned to leave a few first years" Ron says, shrugging his shoulders.

"What's up?" Harry asks, looking suddenly alarmed. "Is Lav okay?" Ron asks, his face paling some.

"Lavender is fine.." I begin, rolling my eyes. Then I quickly add "Hermione is too.."

Ron rolls his eyes this time, clearly still annoyed with Hermione. He's been like this towards her since he got with Lavender.

I shake my head, but hold up Dumbledore's letter, so Harry can see.

"Oh, umm.. We will be back later!" Harry says, as he takes my hand in his, pulling me towards Dumbledore's office.

"Rose, Harry.. So glad to see you both" Dumbledore greets as we walk across his office, taking seats infront of his desk.

"I see you got my owl" Dumbledore says, gesturing to the piece of parchement in my hand.

We both nod, and Dumbledore continues.

"I need you both to collect a few ingredients from around the grounds. They will help me with a potion I'm brewing-"

"I thought this was something to do with our last meeting" Harry says, as I look from him to Dumbledore.

"Why, it is young Harry. You'll see in due time. But I need you to collect-"

"I don't understand what you want from us. You want our help with something serious but you wont tell us what it is" I say, keeping my eyes on Dumbledore.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Harry glance from me to Dumbledore, waiting for him to respond.

"Horcruxes"

Hor.. What?

I think Harry was thinking the same since Dumbledore glanced between the two of us, chuckling softly.
