The Blessed One

Chapter Fifteen~Dinner with Fabian and Gideon

After a few moments of silence, me being the hyper person that I am, couldn't stand it any longer, "Professor? Hellooooo? Anyone in there?"
"Yes dear," he chuckled, "I am indeed 'in here' as you put it, however your gift, I suppose we should call it, is rather unique. In fact, I've never heard of this happening before." For once, I saw Dumbledore looking vulnerable, and unsure of what to do. And quite frankly, they scared me a little bit.
"but, sir." I asked quietly. "What should I do?" He pondered that thought for a few seconds, then answered,
"Firstly, you must carry a bottle of water with you at all times, secondly I advise you to grasp the aguamenti charm, so that if this situation happens again, you won't have to travel all the way to the black lake to find water, and thirdly, I recommend that you only tell James of this gift, as we don't want word of your power getting into the wrong hands." He gave me a pointed look, and I shivered. I knew well what Dumbledore was talking about, as James and I had a rather dangerous encounter during the summer holidays. We had been walking back from a day in the park, when we saw two wizards apparate directly in front of us. They quickly grabbed us by the shoulders, and held their wands at our necks so that we were unable to escape. We were taken to an old Manor House, which looked to have been uninhabited for years. Or attackers promptly threw us into a locked cell in the basement, and headed back up the stairs. The only way we managed to escape, was by alerting the order of our situation by the means of a patronus. James and I had been taught how to perform the challenging charm by our fathers when the signs of evil wizards first arose, which was two summers previously. We practiced day and night, and it took us around a week to perfect it into a solid form. James' was a proud Stag, whilst mine was a small dog-like wolf. We were rescued the following day by the most skilled aurors at the ministry, and luckily our kidnappers were sentenced to 10 years in Azkaban.
"Yes sir." I replied.
"You may go now, Miss Heartweather" he said kindly.
"Thank you, sir." I nodded, and turned to go down the stairs.
"It was lovely seeing you, Rosalie." He smiled.
I laughed, "always the full name, sir?"
"Well, my dear," he said bemusedly, "it is your name, is it not?" I rolled my eyes, and continued down the stairs and down the corridors to the Great Hall, where I would surely be murdered by James for leaving him. Crap. I thought. I am in deep.

I entered the great hall, I was met by a loud screaming match coming from the Gryffindor table.
"AND YOU JUST LET HER GO! AFTER WHAT HAPPENED IN CHARMS?" Ah, there is the lovely voice of my dear friend Lily.
"SHE RAN OFF TO SEE DUMBLEDORE! THAT WASNT MY FAULT!" Countered James. Oh fudge, their talking about me. Lovely.
"THAT WAS HOURS AGO! SHE COULD BE HURT? SHE COULD HAVE DIED!" Screamed Lily. Man, that girl has a set of lungs.
"WE DONT KNOW THAT!" James yelled back, equally loud.
"I HATE YOU JAMES POTTER!" That was a bit harsh! Well, I guess James deserved it for losing me...
"What?" He whispered sadly.
"You heard me." She growled, giving him a death glare. And with that, she stormed over to the Slytherin table to sit with Sev.
"What did I do?" He asked Sirius pathetically.
"Ugh, boys!" I groaned as I whacked James on the head, and went over to sit with Gideon and Fabian, like I had promised.

"Hey guys!" I chirped as I sat down opposite them on the bench.
"Hey, Rose!" They synchronised.
"We didn't think you'd come!" Smiled Fabian.
"Did you have fun with Dumbledore?" Asked Gideon playfully.
"It was goo- wait," I paused, glaring at them. "How do you know about that?"
"We have our ways." They replied mysteriously.
"Okay..." I paused. Now I see why people are freaked out when James and I do that. "What's for tea then?" I asked cheerfully.
That was when a whole array of delicious food lined the four tables in the hall.
"Everything!" They grinned giddily.
