Rosie didn't want to get out of bed today, she was dreading it. Today the owls would be dropping off gifts or letters from students' families, she knew she would get the latter option, but much much worse. In the wizarding world, they decided to create a horrific letter that would make you feel utterly embarrassed and ashamed. It went by the name of a Howler, it screamed out it's contents at you and would not hesitate to chase you down if you refused to read it.

She knew she had to get up then, Rosie didn't want to be chased by her mum and dad asking her why she was such a disappointment compared to Cedric, so she reluctantly climbed out of bed, put on her shirt, jumper, skirt, tights, tie, shoes and robes before heading down into the Great Hall. Rosie spotted her friends at the table eating breakfast, the twins not looking worried for a Howler at all. "Hello George." Rosie greeted, Fred looking at her with a raised brow. "Hello Fred." She smiled at him, but the confused expression on his face didn't falter. "Where's Lee?"

Fred looked as though if he was trying to figure something out, had he missed something with Rosie and George? "Why'd you say hello to him first?" He asked as she sat down opposite him.

Rosie raised an eyebrow, Fred didn't know about her promise to George, and the latter seemed really happy that she did greet him first. "Am I not allowed to say hello to George first?" She questioned, trying to brush it off as nothing.

"No, you are." Fred replied, looking at George, who just shrugged, pretending to not know anything.

"There's no issue then Freddie." Rosie teased him, Fred quickly raised his brows, going back to his food.

"Have you got anything from your mum and dad yet?" George asked her, they were all expecting the owls to come through any minute now.

Rosie shook her head, finishing what was in her mouth before she spoke. "No, what about you?"

"Thankfully not." Fred answered, seeming relieved.

"I have a feeling Mum's gonna be fuming." George pointed out, while Molly Weasley was probably one of the most kind hearted and warm person she'd ever met, she was also very stern and strict with her children, especially with Fred and George who always ignored her warnings.

"She will be if Perfect Percy exaggerated what happened." Fred scoffed, remembering how Percy had confronted him and Rosie down at Hogsmeade. Percy had been glaring at Rosie every time he saw her, he clearly still wasn't pleased that Fred and George still talked to her.

"So where is Lee?" Rosie repeated to ask her question from before, neither of them had answered her and she didn't want to him to feel like they were meeting up without her. Fred and George laughed slightly at her concern. "I just don't want to leave him out."

"We've made up and he told me he doesn't feel left out." George reassured her, Lee was forced by Professor McGonagall to admit that George's hair was nice and he later supposedly confessed he only lied about feeling left out.
