Rose Weasley and the Slytherin Serpent [DISCONTINUED]

Howlers and Herbology

|| Rose's Pov||

  My dozing was short lived, though, because as soon as Percy went to his room, slews of people came back down to the common room, making me sit up and wide awake.

   "What the bloody hell is going on here?" I asked whoever, but everyone was talking at once.

   "Haven't you heard? Harry Potter and your brother flew a car to Hogwarts! Straight into the Whomping Willow!" Lee told me, leaning over the couch. I was livid.

   "They did WHAT?" I almost yelled, getting off of the couch and stood up amidst people, watching the common room entrance open and everyone started clapping, pulling Harry and Ron in. Hermione followed right behind them.

  I tried pushing my way to them, but too many people gathered around them, congratulating the two. I saw Percy trying to tell off some first years, and Harry point at him, then me! They shuffled to their dormitory, and I made my way to Mione.

   "Is it true, Hermione?" I asked her. "Did they really fly dad's car to Hogwarts?" 

   "Yes, they did! Almost got expelled in the process, too! " She told me. I was really mad at them, and also glad they're okay. But mostly mad.

   "You know what, Mione, lets just go to bed. There's still lots of people down here, and there's classes tomorrow, and this way I get to lecture them as much as I want when they wake up!" I told her, grinning evilly. 

   Mione giggled. "Okay, let's go!" 

   And with that, we went to bed, falling asleep rather quickly.

   The next morning, everything calmed down from last night, and Hermione and I went to breakfast without waiting for the boys. She was telling me about her book, Voyages with Vampires, until the boys came and sat with us at the table.

   "Morning." She told them, stiffly. Harry sat next to me across from the other two, and I smacked both of them upside the head.

   "WHAT on EARTH were you two THINKING?" I yelled, making them look promptly terrified. "DRIVING DAD'S CAR ALL THE WAY TO HOGWARTS, MUM AND DAD ARE GOING TO HAVE A FIT! YOU COULD'VE BEEN SEEN OR DIED! AND THINK ABOUT HOW WRECKED HIS CAR MIGHT BE!" 

   Harry and Ron went pale with each thing I yelled at them, and were really confused when I hugged them both.

   "Just because you two are the dumbest boys I know, doesn't mean I'm not happy you're safe." I said. They looked relieved, and I laughed as Neville sat down with us. I munched on a piece of toast.

   "Hi Neville!" I greeted him.

   "Hello, Rose! The mail's going to be here any minute, Gran should be sending me some things I forgot!" Neville told me.

   Sure enough, the owls did come flying in, dropping letters on everyone. Neville took a package to the head, and something crashed into Hermione's milk. Gedwig, on the other hand, placed a letter delicately on my shoulder, and I fed him a piece of my toast.

   "Errol!" Ron and I said at the same time, dragging the limp owl out of the milk jug. Ron didn't pay much attention to him after that, he was staring at something much worse. 

   "It's okay, Ron, he's still alive!" Mione stated. The grin on my face grew and I started laughing, thinking about who the letter was sent by.

   "It's not that, it's that! Mum sent me a howler!" Ron pointed at the red envelope on the table.

   "Well,  don't just let it sit there you idiot! Open it!" I called. Ron looked like he would pass out at any second.

   "What's a Howler?" Harry asked me.
