The Ginger I fell in Love with

Chapter 12: Jumping from new heights

Rose Prov

The night before the second task Fred, Lee, George and I were playing with the moving staircases as you do. We were sliding down the banisters and jumping from one to another. I was currently sitting on the railing of one staircase, looking down at the boys beneath me. "Come on Rose jump!" Lee said. "Alright here goes nothing!" I shouted as I stood up from the railing and jumped. I felt as the air around me whooshed by me and I watched as my hair was blowing all around me. Suddenly I felt to hands grab me by my hands. I held those hands tight. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Fred and George hanging over the edge of the staircase holding my hands. "We got you Rosie." George said with a smile. They both pulled me up. "Well that was a lot of fun." Lee said. George and him were then looking for the next staircase to jump to. Fred took hold of my arm and pulled me towards him. He spun me in a circle and then pulled me into his arms. "Having fun Miss Holmes?" He asked as he looked down at me. "You were right. It does relive stress." I giggled and kissed his lips. "Oi you two here comes the next staircase." George shouted over to us. I let go of Fred and ran over to them with Fred right behind me. "We have to slide down this one to get to the one we are going to jump off of." Lee said as he slid down the banister. Fred put his hand out to me and helped me up on to the banister of the staircase. I stepped up with Fred's help and sat down about to slide. "Uhmm" a voice called. All three of us turned to see Professor McGonagall standing there with here eyebrow raised. Fred quickly lifted me down from the banister. "I do hope, you three are not jumping and sliding down the banisters?" "Hey where did you guys go?" Lee said running up the stairway and observing the scene before him. He went quiet and stood next to George and we all stood in a line waiting to be scolded. "Actually, no professor there are four of us." Fred said with a small smile. I watched McGonagall's face and I was sure I saw a small smile but as fast as it was there it was gone. "Well I am just going to pretend I didn't see any of this. Besides Mr Jordan if you could take this letter and get a school owl to deliver it for me." She handed the letter to Lee, who gave us one last smile and off he went. "Now as for you three, I need you to go to the library and please tell Miss Granger and Mr Weasley I would like to see them in my office." She gave us one last nod and off she went. "I guess we are off to the library then." I said and started to lead the way.

I watched as Rose took the lead to the library. "Whydo you get to be the leader?" George pouted as he ran in front of Rose. "Well that'sbecause you two don't know where the library is so I have to be the leader."She giggled as he linked her hand with mine. "Freddie are you hearing this cheek?"George said with a shocked voice. "Well she is not wrong Georgie." I laughed. Weall continued to tease each other until we got to the library. We navigated ourway through the library until we found the trio in an aisle looking defeated. "Oh,this is no use." Said Granger as she shut a book she was holding. "Who on earthwants to make their nose hair into ringlets." "I wouldn't mind that, it couldbe a really big talking point." "If you get that I don't think I can date youanymore." Rose said as she laughed. The Trio looked up at us. "What are youthree doing here?" Ron asked as he laid down a book. "Looking for you actually."George said while looking at a bookshelf. "McGonagall wants to see you in heroffice." The Trio closed their books and got up. "Nope not you Potter. Just mybrother and Granger." I said and put a hand on Harry's shoulder. "Do you knowwhy she wants to see us?" Granger asked. "We are not sure just that you need togo to her office. You and Ron." Rose said as she leaned on me. "Alright I guesswe should go. We will meet you back at the common room." Granger said as herand Ron left. I gave Harry on last nod and then we left. As we stepped out ofthe library door we ran into Lee. "Hey guys, I want to go and get some hotchocolate from the kitchens. You guys in?" "Yeah I am gain." George said. Ilooked at Rose who was falling asleep leaning next to me. "I think Rose and Iare going to skip this one and head to the common room. Some one is fallingasleep." George and Lee bid us goodnight and off they went to the kitchens.Rose and I started to head back to the common room. I could see that she wasn'treally paying attention to what she was doing. I held her hand as we walked upthe stairs, but she stumbled a bit and tripped. I laughed at her and thenpicked her up bridal style. "Why thank you Mr Weasley for being my transport."She giggled. "You know you are very cute when you are tired." I laughed at her.I said the password to the fat lady and walked into the common room. Ginny got lookedover at us and quickly got up. "Is Rose okay? What happened?" "No, she is fineshe was just falling asleep." I looked down to see Rose was completely out. "Willyou open her dorm door so I can put her in bed." Ginny nodded her head and wewalked over to Rose's dorm door and Ginny opened it. I walked in and walked tothe far corner were Rose's stuff was. I pulled back the covers and laid Rosedown. I kissed her forehead and covered her up. "Goodnight my Rose." And then Ileft.
