The Ginger I fell in Love with

Chapter 2: Pranks and the Hospital wing

Rose Prov

I woke up and got dressed. It was Saturday morning the first weekend of Hogwarts. I got up and got dressed. It was nice to have break. All the professors had pilled homework on and even though I knew what was happening I just wanted a break. I took my writing book. It was kinda like my dairy. I had written about everything that had happened in Hogwarts right from the beginning of my first train ride to this week's events. I wanted to go down to the great hall for breakfast before I went off to do different things around the castle. As I walked out the portrait hole, I bumped into Professor Moody. "Oh, sorry Sir, I didn't see you there." "Not a problem Holmes, I was looking for Potter, Weasley and Granger. Have you seen them?" "No sorry Professor." He just sighed and then headed in the other direction. I shook my head at the weird conversation we just had. He really was a strange man. I carried on to the great hall. When I entered there weren't many people there. I grabbed a muffin and went to one of my favourite places in the castle. Near the east tower was a statue and I loved to sit behind it on the window seat. Once I got there, I climbed behind it and sat on the ledge. I finally felt calm. I opened the window and looked at all the students. I began to daydream, until I heard an explosion. I looked round the statue to see the ginger twins run around the corridor. "Where are we going to hide Georgie?" "Behind the statue Freddie." Before I knew what was happening, I had the twins on my lap. They looked just as surprised as I was. We all fell off the ledge and I hit my head on the edge of statue. "Well that was a surprise." George said rubbing his back. I looked up and saw Fred's hand out to help me up. I took it and as I stood up, I felt a bit lightheaded. I felt like I was about to fall but Fred caught me.

"Wow careful, you have hit your head a bit hard. It's bleeding." Fred said looking at the back of my head. Before I replied, Professor Snape and Filch came walking down the corridor. They stopped at us. "Mr Weasley and Miss Holmes, what is it that you are doing in this corridor?" Professor Snape asked in a stern voice. George was about to answer but I beat him to it. "Fred and George were just helping me to the hospital wing. I fell and hit my head and they offered to help me." I replied. Snape eyed me carefully. "I see and it takes two of them to help you?" He asked with suspicion. "Well Professor as you know they are twins and do everything together and George was carrying my book for me." "I see so none of you were involved in the dung bomb in the corridor?" "No Professor." I rolled my eyes at the boys. A dung bomb really? I watched as Snape watched me closely and I hoped my eyes were not giving me away. "Very well then proceed to the Hospital Wing." Snape sneered at us and then carried on walking with Filch behind him. When they were out of sight Fred turned to look at me. "That was brilliant thank you for the alibi." He laughed. "Thanks Rose, I thought we were doomed for a second there." George said with a smile. I smiled back. "Well someone has to save you idiots from time to time, but I did worry my eyes would give us away." I watched as the twins looked at my eyes. "They are grey, does that mean you're lying?" but before I could answer I felt very lightheaded and wobbly. I started to fall but I felt two arms pick me up bridal style and before I could see who it was, I shut my eyes.

I caught Rose as I watched her start to fall. I held her close to me and she snuggled her face in my chest. I could see the back of her head was covered in blood were her head was still bleeding. "Is she alright?" My brother asked in worry. "I am not sure but let's take her to Madam Pomfrey." George picked up her book and we head to the hospital wing. When we got there was no one there. George went to look for Madam Pomfrey in her office. I still held Rose close to me. She smelt of vanilla and sweet apples. I looked down at her, she looked so peaceful. I saw how her hair hung in curls and how she moved her nose every now and again. I looked up to see Madam Pomfrey and George walk towards me "Oh dear me, what happened?" "She fell and hit her head." "Oh, dear me, lay her here." She said pointing to an empty bed. I laid Rose gently on the bed and then stepped back as Madam Pomfrey got to work. It took about half an hour sitting and waiting, until Madam Pomfrey came to us. "Well boys it looks like Miss Holmes has a bad concussion. She is going to be asleep for a couple of hours. You may stay here with her as long as you are quiet or you can go, and I will let you know when she awakens." "Thank you." I said with a kind smile.

She returned it and then went back to her office. George looked at me. "Do you want to stay with her?" He asked with a smirk. I have him a really look. "I know what you're thinking, and we are just friends." "I didn't say anything." "No but your look gives it away." "Well I am going to find Lee and get some ingredients for our next experiment. Are you going to be okay here?" He said with a smirk. "I'll be fine Georgie." I said with an eye roll. I then watched him leave. I went to grab a chair and sat at Rose's side. I looked at the side table and saw her book. George must have laid it there. I picked it up and opened it and saw Rose's neat handwriting in the book. I looked at the first page and it read.

Well for my first train ride it was a lot of fun!

We went in boats across a lake. I was in a boat with these ginger twins Fred and George. They are very funny and love to cause mischief. They are also trying to figure what colour of my eye's equal what emotion. Hopefully they won't find out because they could use it against me.

I am happy to say I am also in Gryffindor.

I smiled remembering the first time I had met Rose. She didn't say much and was every shy. I remember her trying to hide her face so we couldn't see her eyes. She was so worried that people would tease her. I flipped through the book and found a note from our second year.

Well I am going to kill the twins and Lee for that matter. They set of some weird green smoke that made everything go green. They had help from Peeves to. Are they really that thick to trust Peeves? When Filch came to ask Peeves who helped him, and he would give Peeves something if he told him Peeves was about to say something when I threw a potion down the corridor that sent white smoke everywhere. Filch ran out of the corridor. I went to Peeves and made a deal with him that he would not spill anything to Filch, if I gave him my candy stash. Even though I didn't know what he was going to do with candy. So, I saved the boys and Gryffindor house points.

I was shocked I had no idea Rose had done that. I looked over at her and she was still out like a light. I just smiled at her and continued reading. It turned out most of the time Rose had saved George, Lee and I from getting into trouble. She always had a plan and we had no idea we always thought we had gotten away with it without anyone catching us, but it was all Rose saving our ass. I read almost up until the present day, but I felt my eyes slowly close and then I dozed off.
