Everything blinded my senses. It was like someone had opened me up to the world again. I felt someone holding my heads repetitively calling my name and asking if I can hear them. I could smell a clinic odour meaning I must have been in the hospital wing, again.
With as much power and strength as I could I managed to open my eyes but to swiftly close them again. This time slowly allowing my eyes to adjust I opened them to be met with the nice warm brown eyes that I found familiar.
"Hey Hermione." I croaked.
"Here drink this." She smiled.
I sipped at the water she had given me. It managed to slide down my soar and dry throat. Once I had finished the glass I felt much better I turned to Hermione.
"Where's Colin? " I asked urgently upon remembering his sudden appearance during the attack.
"He's fine Rose. He's in the hall getting some well earned food. Would you like to go?" She responded.
"Yes, please Hermione. How come you're here and not Harry or Ron?" I asked.
"I was pertrified too. Only just woken up myself." She answered as she lead me out of the hospital wing.
"Omg. Are you okay Hermione because I know I still feel awful." I asked.
"I'm alright now. I was woken just an hour before you and I wasn't under as long as you. It may take you till tomorrow morning to slightly recover." She smiled as we reached the hall.
"Hermione, Rose, Welcome back" Sir Nicolaus said as he exited the hall.
"Thanks Sir Nicolaus." Hermione responded and I simply smiled.
Soon spotting Ron and Harry sat near the front of the Gryffindor table Hermione took off down the aisle with me close behind. Hermione launched herself at Harry while I launched myself at Ron upon reaching them. Once Hermione let go of Harry I turned to Harry smiling sheepishly before he tackled me into a hug.
"I missed you so much Rosie." He muttered into my ear. "Don't you ever scare me like that again. I thought I'd lost you."
"I'm sorry, Harry." I smiled as we drew back.
"Welcome back, Hermione." Ron spoke after their awkward moment.
"It's good to be back. Congratulations I can't believe you solved it. " She spoke.
"Well we had loads of help from you. We couldn't have done it without you. " Harry responded.
"Thanks" She smiled.
Sharp sound came from the front of the room. "Can I have your attention please?" McGonagall said.
I slid down next to Harry as we all took our seats quickly as Dumbledore stood up.
"Before we begin the feast. Let us have a round of applause for professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey whose Mandrake Juice has been administered so succesfully to all who had been petrified." Dumbledore said as applause erupted from the room. I even noticed Malfoy clapped once before returning to his unpleased position.
"In light of recent events as a school treat. All exams have been cancelled." Thank god because I have barely learned anything this year due to being unconcious for most of it. Hermione seemed rather disappointed though. Knowing her she was proberly revising while waiting for me to wake up.
The doors at the back swung open causing everyone to turn to the back. "Hagrid" I murmed with a smile on my face at the sight of the friendly half-giant.
"Sorry, I'm late. The owl that delievered my release papers got all lost and confused. Some ruddy bird named Errol." This cause me to snigger. Silly owl. Hagrid stopped in front of us.
"I'd just like say 'arry. If it 'adn't been for you, 'arry and Ron and 'ermione, of course. I would still be you know where and I'd just like to say thanks. Oh and welcome back young Miss Potter."
Harry stood up and I did to, still not appreciating all the stares coming our way.
"There's no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid. " Harry said.
Harry and I both hugged Hagrid. Soon a round of applause started again. Harry withdrew himself and joined in as I remained cuddled to Hagrid.

It wasn't long later that Hogwarts ended for the summer and Harry and I were to return to the Dursley's.
Ginny had apologised multiple times to both Hermione and myself. We both brushed it off and told her it wasn't her fault.
I ended up attending special lessons with all my teachers on a rotational cycle after classes to catch up on what I had missed. Funny enough my favourite teacher soon became Professor Snape , much to Harry's surprise and dismay.
Professor Snape was soon impressed with my willingness to learn potions and when not in official lessons seemed to have grown a rather soft spot for me. Yet always remained his cold and harsh cover when in lessons.
Flitwick cancelled all my extra lessons with him due to my natural effinity. However, Hermione made sure I knew everything since she to utter dismay didn't have to study for exams. She'd looked like a complete lost puppy with her spare time will I'd asked her.
Malfoy and I started to argue more often after the cupboard incident. I no longer referred to him by his firstname and rarely spoke or saw him at all. This arrangement pleased me perfectly.
Ron decided to teach me Wizard Chess and all the rules of Quidditch, which was a lot easier to understand than I thought.
Fred and George? Where to start? They'd managed to bring me out of my shell slightly much to their pleasure. They became my main friends when I wasn't with the Golden Trio. We'd managed to pull of the best pranks they'd ever done with my help and Forgie!
But the end of this year only meant one thing. I couldn't wait for next year!
Authors Note:
To make the whole process of this book being uploaded and read more agreeable and easy. I will not upload each chapter as I complete it. However I will upload as I finish the section based upon which film they belong with which is what I am basing them on as I haven't finished all the books yet.
To begin each year I have included pictures of Rose as she ages so you can have a visual image of what she looks like. However you can choose or suggest an actor in which you thinks would be a better fit. Remember she has her mother's hair and her father's eyes.
Yes, this is a Draco Malfoy book. However, I'm not going to bring the two together till at least Goblet of Fire maybe Order Of The Phoneix because she is only young. Her age during this sections was 11, Azkaban -12, Goblet Of Fire - 13, Order Of the Phoneix -14, Half-Blood Prince - 15 and Deathly Hallows - 16. Therefore it would be a bit silly if she fell in love before she was a teenager, sure a crush as you may have hinted at in these first few chapters but not a love. If you want to skip straight to the love I'll place that chapter of the year in the Description once I have decided.
Thank you for your support and I can't wait to upload the next set of chapter.
