It was 7:59 A.M, a minute before disaster struck. Cedric was currently dreaming about a girl whom had long hair with purple at the end of each strand while Rose was dreaming about a boy who would take care of her.

Suddenly, it turned 8:00 A.M and the entire room was ringing with the same alarm, synchronizing with each other. "AHHHH," Cedric yelled getting up. "What is it…." Rose groaned and turned to Cedric to see him shirtless and blushed and looked away. "Rose don't look, cover your eyes sweetie," Lily told her. James was still fast asleep. "Put on a shirt Cedric, so your friend here can actually look at you," Cedric's mom told him. He snorted but put on a shirt anyways. The alarm was still going off but most of them had snoozed them. "Alright, it says tap to snooze," Rose said aloud and tapped it. The buzzing was gone, Cedric did the same and the room was silent now. Rose looked at Cedric and giggled, his hair was a mess. "Hey, we don't all wake up with good hair you know," Cedric said noticing Rose's laughter. "Well, thank god you got my hair Rose, your father's hair was a mess," Lily laughed. "What are you staring at boy?" James asked. "Sorry sir…" Cedric replied and ran towards the boy's bathroom. "You do know he's gonna see her every night before they sleep right?" Lily asked but blushed after realizing how wrong that sounded. "EXCUSE ME?" James roared. Rose ran away towards the girl's bathroom in embarrassment. "Now now James, we know she meant it the innocent way," Cedric's mom assured James. Fred and George, who were listening to this, was snapped out of their sleep immediately and walked towards the bathroom.

Cedric came out all showered and in his school robes. The Merlin robes, were black of course, but had a blue circle with the letter M in the middle. Rose also changed to see a short skirt which reached down to her ankles, and a shirt and coat top. The outfit was dark blue with the letter M as well.

Soon, their friends followed and they ate in the dining room. "The food here's so much better than Hogwarts," Cedric exclaimed. "Yes, because it has special nutrients and it comes from a modified greenhouse," Professor Snape said appearing at the head of the table. "Greenhouse sir?" Neville asked curiously. "Ah yes. Neville Longbottom, your parents always loved plants. Yes, I suppose I could ask one of the house elves to show you around," Professor Snape replied. "Thank you sir," Neville said happily and went back to eating.

"Alright, read chapters 1-5 for you first years," Professor Snape recommended. "Why sir?" Rose asked. "Because, I will be asking questions," Snape replied. "Alright," Rose replied and got out her iPhone. Their iPhones were the large type, so they could see easily and access things without squinting. "Alright, so it's about this potion," Rose began. "Yes, I will ask questions in class, now read silently," Snape instructed. "Rose, we already read until third year books remember?" Neville reminded her. "Are you now," Snape asked curiously. "Yes, we are sir," Rose replied. "Very well, if you do succeed , you may be moved up," Professor Snape added.

"Alright let's get to the dining hall in Hogwarts," Rose suggested once they all ate. They had 30 minutes to spare since they all waited as the Weasley twins stuffed themselves.

They nodded and walked back to Merlin's portrait and tapped on the book and it made her appear sitting at the Merlin House table in the hall.

"Ms. Potter, fancy seeing you here," Professor McGonagall said curious of where they went. "Ah yes Professor, we went to a very nice manor," she beamed as the others appeared shocking the old witch.

"Where exactly is this common room?" Professor McGonagall said eyeing them. "It's none of your business," Snape said appearing behind her. "Snape," she began but was interrupted. "Sorry Minevra, Merlin's orders," Snape replied shocking her. The two professors left and they got out their phones.

"Bet you loved that didn't you Potter, first you come here making a big deal and then a new house opens up. Tdhe fame's clearly gone to your head," a boy behind them sneered. Rose looked back expecting Malfoy but it was Ron Weasley. "Ron go away," Fred and George told him. "So you two are banking on her fame and money too are you?" Ron sneered. "What has she ever done to you?" Cedric asked frowning. "Oh, you too Pretty Boy? Well your just using her for her fame," Ron added making Cedric angry but Rose tugged on his arm calming him down.

"What did I ever do to you huh?" Rose said raising her voice. At this point everyone including the professors were watching them. "If you ever, threaten my friends again, I will hex you until your bones break," Rose snarled surprising them all. "Please, a bitch like you?" Ron laughed. Cedric was about to lunge for Ron when Rose raised her wand and fired a bone breaking curse at Ron breaking his legs.

"OW," he cried out. "Stay away from me," Rose yelled and left the room towards her first class, Charms.

"Ms. Potter, get back here this instant," Professor McGonagall shouted. "Yes Professor?" Rose asked. "Now, even if Mr. Weasley insulted you it doesn't give you the right to break his bones," Professor McGonagall scolded. "Sorry then Professor," Rose replied. "20 points from Merlin, and detention with Professor Flitwick," the old witch told Rose and left. "Rose? Are you okay?" Hermione asked. "Yea I'm fine," Rose replied and left towards her first class. She wasn't fine, this was the first time someone insulted her and clearly, she was hurt inside.

"Is she okay?" Cedric asked. "I don't know…" Hermione replied sadly. "Well, I'm glad she broke Ron's bones," Padma piped out. "Mmm, well, we have Charms first," Hermione told Padma and Neville and they left together. Susan and Hannah had already met up with Rose and were seated in Charms.

"Alright students, now, we will try to levitate this feather for our first class. Don't be discouraged if you can't do it. Now, let's practice this wand movement, the flick and swish," the tiny professor told the class.

"Wingardium Leviosa," Rose muttered knowing the spell and her feather lifted up into the air. "What is… Ms. Potter! Very nicely done, your mother was a whiz at charms too, 20 points to Merlin," the professor exclaimed. "Ms. Potter, have you read all the first year materials?" Professor Flitwick asked. "Yes, and all the second years too, I'm working on third year," Rose replied making the class gasp, mostly Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs since they were learning with them.

"Well, would you care to demonstrate?" Professor Flitwick asked. "Of course, Aqua Eructo," Rose said clearly and a strong jet of water appeared. "Fabulous, perhaps you should move up to third year charms, that was a fourth year charm spell," Professor Flitwick told Rose whom was stunned. "Excuse me?" Rose asked. "Oh yes, I believe you picked out the wrong book, what is your book called?" Professor Flitwick asked. "Charms of Legends," Rose replied. "Ah, that's a fifth year book, well, your going up to third year," Professor Flitwick announced. "Uh sir? Neville can also do the same thing cause we picked out the same book," Rose told the professor. "Really? Care to demonstrate?" Professor Flitwick asked. "Um.. Aqua Eructo," Neville pronounced using the same spell as Rose. A weaker but firm water sprout appeared. "Splendid, you two are moving up!" the professor exclaimed and Rose and Neville grinned at each other. Ron on the hand snorted, "please if she can do it so can anyone, Aqua Eructo," Ron said mispronouncing it. The wand produced a blue light before wetting Ron all over making him groan. Rose giggled along with Hermione. "Miss Potter, Mr. Longbottom, perhaps you should go to third year charms later, it's actually next period," Professor Flitwick informed them. "I will tell Professor McGonagall about this development," he added.

Soon, Charms was over and Neville and Rose went to the dorms to get their things. They realized they were late and rushed back. They opened the door violently and saw third year Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and Cedric looking at them. "Wrong class?" Cedric asked. "Nope," Rose beamed and took seat beside Cedric while Neville was next to her.

"You see, Miss Potter and Mr. Longbottom will be joining us for the rest of the school year," Professor Flitwick informed them. "She knows third year spells?" a Ravenclaw snorted. "She knows fifth year spells Miss Cornelia," Professor Flitwick told her stunning the Ravenclaw. "Perhaps a duel will prove my point?" Professor Flitwick asked and she nodded.

"Alright, you two, against me," Professor Flitwick told them.

"You can go first," the professor offered. "Alright," Rose said before lowering her voice. "Langlock," she gleamed. The professor's tongue was stuck and he couldn't do any spells. "Expelliarmus," she smiled and disarmed the professor stunning everyone. "Good luck with her Cedric," the previous Ravenclaw smirked and Cedric turned red and shouted back, "shut up Cho," Cedric. Unfortunately, after that class, news of Cedric having a crush on Rose had spread. Girls everywhere glared at her.

"Alright, it's lunch then flying class," Rose exclaimed. It was no surprise that Merlin would have a Quidditch Team but that would mean everyone joining.

"Alright, guys, let's talk Quidditch," Cedric said as the rest of them sat down. "Well, I'm ok as a Chaser," Susan and Hannah said together. "Alright, I kinda wanna be a Chaser too, Rose, if your as good as McGonagall says you are, then your gonna be a Seeker. That's the entire team right? We need reserves though," Cedric informed them. "Uh, Neville could be a reserve Chaser and Padma could be a reserve Seeker," Rose suggested and Padma's eyes widened. "No way, what if I get hurt?" Padma protested. "Hardly a chance with Rose on the broom," Neville replied.

"Welcome to your first flying lesson. Well? What are you waiting for. Place your hand over your broom like this and say UP," Madam Hooch instructed. "Up," Rose said and her broom came up. Susan, Hannah, Neville and Padma's broom also came up but Hermione's was disobeying. "Hermione say it confidently," Padma suggested. "Mmm, UP," Hermione shouted and the broom came up.

"UP," Ron Weasley shouted and his broom came up and smirked at Rose thinking she couldn't get it up but his face scowled when he saw her talking with her friends and her broom was in her hand.

"Now, I want you to hover on your broom and touch back down," Madam Hooch instructed. Malfoy's broom, started going crazy and brought him towards the highest tower and started smashing him into the tower.

"HELPPP," Draco wailed but then, his broom left him in mid-air and he fell down. "Arresto Momentum," Rose shouted and Draco slowed down but still broke his wrist.

"10 points to Merlin for quick thinking, now, I believe your wrist is broken is it not? Let's take you to the infirmary," Madam Hooch suggested and she levitated him to the nurse.

"Did you see him fall on his fat arse? Should've let him fall Potter," Ron laughed and as he did so, Seamus and Zacharias Smith did too. "Hey look, the bloody ferret dropped his locket," Ron smirked.

"Give it back Ron," Rose shouted. "No, I think I'll hide it somewhere the ferret has to work to get it, perhaps the roof," Ron suggested and took off on his broom. "What's wrong Potter? Got your knickers in a twist?" Ron smirked and Rose turned red. "Filthy half blood, knew you were a slut," Ron continued oblivious to the magic Rose was pouring out. "STUPEFY, EAT SLUGS" Rose screamed and Ron was frozen.

Unfortunately for her, Ron had saw the spell and threw the locket away but he didn't go unharmed, her slug spell caused multiple slugs to appear in his mouth while being stunned. Rose took off after the locket and engaged in a 50 foot dive. Currently, it was the 3rd, 4th, and 5th years milk break and they all saw what was going on in the court yard. Some gasped as Rose dived down but at the last second, she pulled up.

"ROSE POTTER," Professor McGonagall screeched. Everyone turned to the furious professor. "Your mother and father would've been disappointed if they saw you do this, 5 points from Merlin, but 7 points for helping out another house," Professor McGonagall said before dragging Rose away.

Padma, Hermione, Neville, Susan and Hannah followed. Professor McGonagall searched the castle before finding Cedric beside the lake with his friends. "Cedric, can I borrow you for a moment?" she asked and Cedric came towards her.

"Cedric, I found you a seeker," Professor McGonagall smiled. "Really? She really is good?" Cedric asked. "No I'm not," Rose replied. "Don't be so modest Rose," Padma said to her and the others nodded. "But first years can't be on the team," Rose pointed out. "Well, the Merlin team can't be formed unless the entire house participates now can it?" Professor McGonagall countered. "I have talked to Professor Dumbledore about this," she added.

"Nice work, what'd you do to catch McGonagall's attention?" Cedric asked. "She dived down 50 feet," Neville replied. "WHAT?" Cedric roared. "What…" Rose said backing away. "You could've died you know?" Cedric scolded her. "Ooo does someone care about a certain someone? Just wait till your dad hears about it Rose," Padma smirked and Cedric turned paled and red at the same time.

"Guys leave him alone, he's just worried cause he has a school boy crush on someone," Rose teased him and Cedric turned more red than Ron Weasley's hair and huffed away while Rose laughed and ran towards him and jumped onto him. "You know I was kidding right?" Rose asked as they landed onto the grass together.

"Yea…" Cedric muttered. "Don't worry, you'll find someone special," Rose joked completely oblivious of him having a crush on her. Rose then got up and walked away.

"So what was that about?" Susan asked. "Oh, I just told him that one day, he'll find someone special," Rose replied. Susan sighed, her friend was oblivious.

"Alright, that was the last lesson for the day, you wanna hang out now? It's only 1:20," Rose pointed out. "Uh sure," Susan replied. "Hey, you know we should swim," Rose suggested. "Yea," Hermione squealed shutting her book. "Woah, the book worm is now going to swim?" Padma giggled. "Hey," Hermione said swatting her friend.

"Alright let's go chance," Rose suggested. Rose wore a light blue colored swim suit, two piece while Hermione wore a red colored one. Neville blushed when he saw them but then they headed towards the lake.

They found Cedric playing polo with his friends whom noticed them and stopped swimming. "Ugh let's go swim somewhere else," Rose groaned and walked away, "Wait!" Cedric shouted. "What?" Rose asked. "You can swim with us," Cedric told her. "Thanks Diggory, but I'll pass," Rose replied. "What are you talking about?" Hermione asked getting into the water. "Yea we'd love to swim here," Padma added getting into the water. "Alright then…" Rose groaned and headed towards the water when she felt two firm hands on her hips and then felt herself get lifted up into the air. "CEDRIC DIGGORY YOU PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT," Rose screamed. "No way," Cedric laughed before throwing her into the water. "You'll pay for that," Rose snarled and whipped up her wand and pointed it at Cedric when she heard a similar squeal. "James," Hermione squealed as James lifted her up and threw her into the water. Cedric, seeing Rose distracted, lunged for her and lifted her by the legs while she kicked him.

"Ow that hurts," Cedric moaned. "Too bad, you deserve it," Rose shouted while struggling to get out of Cedric's

"Oh yea, I'm doing something special today," Rose smiled. "What is it?" Cedric asked. "You'll have to find out," Rose laughed and swam towards her friends whom were playing around splashing water. Neville was enjoying himself while Padma was simply floating.

Soon, it was dinner time and everyone started eating when Professor McGonagall asked for their attention.

"We are introducing a new credit offer," she began and the Ravenclaw students began chittering. "Performing 20 times a semester will allow you to boost up your grade by a whole level, only grades that are below an A," she added causing groans from the smarter students. "Our first student, a first year, is here to perform and sing, something muggles do," Professor McGonagall muttered. "Please welcome, Rose Potter," she said and the hall clapped and Rose nervously walked up to a microphone.

"Uh… this is a song I wrote…. it's called 'Safe and Sound' " Rose announced nervously. She nodded to Professor McGonagall whom placed a disk and started the music. "I'm not really done with it yet, I wrote this just last week…." Rose stammered but then started.

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go"

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling

Everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby

Even when the music's gone

Gone

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La (La La)

La La (La La)

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La (La La)

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light,

You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh

Applause exploded throughout the halls, especially from the Merlin table. "What an outstanding performance, now, get back to your dinner," Professor McGonagall instructed.

"That was amazing," Padma exclaimed as Rose sat down. "That was awesome, how could you not tell me about your beautiful voice?" Cedric asked and scolded at the same time. Rose blushed immensely and started filling her plate.

"Alright, guys, you wanna check out the beach house tomorrow?" Rose asked. Hermione nodded eagerly while Cedric said he was going to study there. "Alright then," Rose replied.

They went back to dorm and went to sleep. Suddenly, Rose had a dream.

"TELL ME WHERE IT IS. THE STONE." a man shouted.

"Never. Not to you." an old man replied.

"Fool. Avada Kedavra." the man sneered and a green light left his wand and hit the man leaving him lifeless.

Rose woke up panting and screaming to see Cedric, Padma, Neville and Hermione covering over her. Susan and Hannah had went to get Professor Snape while George and Fred went to the elves to get a cup of water and sandwich for her.

"Thanks," Rose said as the twins appeared with a tray. She got up to realize she had been resting on Cedric's lap the whole time and blushed. Padma and Hermione smirked and she groaned inwardly, those two were going to think she could actually like this Cedric guy. He's cute, but not for her.

"Is everything alright Potter?" Professor Snape asked. "I had this dream sir, a man was demanding another man to tell him where some stone is but the man refused and the man used the killing curse and killed the other man," Rose explained and Snape turned pale. "He's after the stone….. I must go to Hogwarts immediately, Diggory your in charge of Rose," Snape said and went away.

"He's already in charge of her," Hermione whispered to Padma and they giggled. "Are you okay?" Neville asked hoping the food would warm her up. "Yea, don't worry, you guys should go to sleep," Rose said and they all went away, all but one. "Cedric…." Rose groaned. "No Rose, your obviously not fine, I'll sleep with you for one night, without the glass barrier," Cedric said and pushed the barrier down.

The beds were paired, but the barrier in-between them could be modified and pushed down. "Thanks Ced," Rose said sleepily. Cedric inched closer to her but surprisingly, she came in and cuddled him. Cedric blushed madly but realized Rose was asleep already and didn't notice. Cedric placed his arms around her waist and them went to sleep.

8 A.M

"ROSE POTTER WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING WITH THAT BOY," James Potter roared waking up everyone. Everyone tapped their alarms and noticed a shirtless Cedric with his arms around Rose.

Rose blushed while Cedric separated from her quickly.

"It's not what it looks like," she stammered. "EXPLANATION YOUNG LADY," James shouted. "AND YOU, I'll be talking to you later," he hissed. "Calm down James," Lily said rubbing her husband's shoulder. "NO. Our daughter just slept with that boy," James shouted.

"Lily, James, yesterday, Rose had a nightmare and Cedric insisted on watching her so she doesn't wake up screaming again," Mrs. Diggory told them. "Is this true Rose?" James asked and Rose nodded. "Next time Cedric, wear a shirt sweetie," Lily smiled. "Yes ma'am," Cedric replied blushing and got up and ran to the showers.

"Rose! Tell us everything," Padma and Hermione squealed. "Um… what is there to tell?" Rose asked. "How did his arms feel? Strong and firm?" Hermione teased but was also serious at the same time. "Yea, and warm," Rose grinned and all three girls squealed. "Young lady, next time just ask one of your GIRL friends," James scolded. "Sorry dad…" Rose muttered but didn't regret it.

"Alright, today's our first defense class," Rose said as they left the manor and towards Hogwarts.

They tapped on the painting and appeared at the Merlin table. "Heard you slept with a boy Potter, well what was I expecting from a slut," a red-haired git sneered coming up to him followed by Seamus and Dean.

"Shove off Weasley," Neville shouted. "Oh who did you sleep with? Longbottom? Weasleys? Diggory?" Rose blushed at the last name but Ron caught that. "So it was Diggory, that man whore," Ron sneered. By now, the entire Great Hall was watching the fight.

"CEDRIC IS NOT THAT," she hissed and blasted him into the wall knocking him out. Cedric just turned up in his seat and saw Rose with a wand out. "What happened?" Cedric asked. "Somehow, he found out about you comforting me about my nightmare about the killing curse," Rose said loudly so the great hall could spread it around that she didn't do the other thing.

"I'm sorry Ms. Potter, using violence is not the answer, 10 points from Merlin, and of course, 15 points from Gryffindor," Professor McGonagall added before walking over to Weasley to give him a lecture. "Bloody hell," Fred mumbled to George. "Remind me never to get on her bad side," George muttered.

"Alright, we have Defense Class first, Quirrel wants us to duel or something," Rose said before heading towards the DADA classroom. So far, Rose and Neville only got moved up to third year classes in Charms.

"Al Al Al Alright class, to-today we're going to be-be having a du-duel. P-please line up," Professor Quirrel stuttered.

They all rolled their eyes at the stuttering professor but did as asked.

"Now, I want yo-you to duel against each other," the professor added. "G-GO," he yelled and the class turned frenzy. The professor was actually hoping Rose Potter would get injured in the duels but unfortunately for him, she was dominating.

"STUPEFY," Rose yelled several times stunning several people. Neville wasn't doing too bad, he was spraying water on everyone and then stunning them since he wasn't as flexible to dodge as Rose. Soon, the fight was over with Hermione, Rose, Neville and Padma still standing while everyone else was down on the ground.

Soon, it was time for Herbology and they were handling Mandrakes this time. "Now, put on these earmuffs to protect yourselves from their ear piercing screams," Professor Sprout instructed. She then showed them how to tend to the Mandrake.

After Herbology, they had lunch and Cedric told them that Quidditch Trials would take place at Merlin's huge Quidditch Stadium at 3 after school ends and said he was going to study in the outdoor library/beach house near the beach.

Charms soon ended with Rose and Neville earning Merlin 45 points while Cedric earned 3. "Alright, can't wait for Quidditch Trials," Rose squealed. "But we don't have any brooms," Susan pointed out. "Well yea but still, we'll find a way," Rose assured her. "Don't worry," Cedric said walking up to them. "Merlin has Nimbus 2000s in the stadium. I heard Snape bought them with the house funds," Cedric told them. "Really!? Cool!" Rose squealed. She just finished reading her "Quidditch Tips and Tricks," book recommended by Merlin and she found herself addicted to Quidditch and Flying.

Soon, school ended and the entire Merlin House headed for the stadium. "Alright, the Nimbus 2000s are down there by the field but we're gonna sort you out first. Me and Rose are going to compete for Seeker and I'm also going for Keeper. Now tell me which roles you want," Cedric asked.

"We"

"Are"

"Obviously Going"

"To Be,"

"Beaters," Fred and George said at the same time.

Susan raised her hand and requested for Chaser while Hannah wanted Beater. Hermione and Padma didn't seem very enthusiastic but asked for Chaser.

"Alright, Neville let's start up a gain and we'll see how you do," Cedric instructed. After testing around with Neville, Cedric decided to put him as Reserve Keeper.

Rose and Cedric competed for the Snitch and Rose won after diving down intensely and catching it before Cedric. "Bloody hell, I think Oliver would cry if he saw this," Fred joked.

"Congratulations, alright, I think I'll try for Keeper," Cedric told the group and they engaged in another game which tested everyone.

"Alright, Susan, Padma, Hermione you're all Chasers, I'm Keeper, Rose is Seeker and Hannah's Reserve Beater. Neville is Reserve Keeper. Fred and George you're obviously Beaters," Cedric announced and they went in for a group hug.

"Alright, we'll train every Sunday and Saturday for now and then train during weekdays 2 months before the first match," Cedric announced not wanting to train his group too hard.

They went towards the showers and then went to the beach house. Fred and George were studying some parchment while the others studied. Rose was on a bird nest designed chair swing and reading her book on History of Magic on her phone while sipping orange juice.

Neville was reading Herbology and kept switching between the Herbology and Quidditch's Keeper tips book.

Susan and Hannah were drawing for fun while eating frosted cookies. Cedric was busying himself with a Charms Essay which he decided to do at the last minute and was getting frustrated.

"Calm down Cedric, your getting all the information wrong," Hermione told him. "WHAT?" Cedric yelled in frustration. "Yea, about 3 of these paragraphs are wrong," Hermione pointed out and then smirked. "Maybe you got someone on your mind," she grinned. "WHA WHAT?" Cedric said in denial. "I know you like her Cedric," Hermione smirked before walking away leaving Cedric stunned and scared at the same time.

"HERMIONE," Cedric shouted as she walked away and caught up to her catching the attention of everyone in the house. Rose watched them but felt something in her stomach, and whatever it was it didn't feel good.

"Hermione, you won't tell anyone right?" Cedric asked with a worried expression. "Of course, but knowing Rose for a few days, I'll give you until fourth year till she starts dating," Hermione smirked and walked away. 'Smirking isn't a good look on her," Cedric frowned as Hermione walked away.

"Alright guys, Snape says we can either dine here or at the Great Hall for the rest of the school year," Rose said as Professor Snape managed to send her a text for the first time ever although he was rather plain in the text. "Really? Cool!" Hannah and Susan squealed. It meant they had more time to do things and they could just stay in the manor.

"Alright I'm going to go surfing," Rose said before changing in the beach house's bathroom. Cedric thought of going with her but decided against it just in case it was too obvious.

"Go after her," Hermione encouraged. For a 11 year old, Hermione was extremely nosy, but then again most 11 year olds were nosy.

"Nah, plus you need to help me in this," Cedric replied. "Oh alright," Hermione huffed and sat down and started helping Cedric.

Rose on the other hand, was joined by Susan and Hannah and they played for a while until it was about 5:30 and they decided to head up to the manor.

"Zoey," Rose called out. "Yes Misses Rose?" Zoey replied as the house-elf popped up. "Get us warm towels please?" Rose asked sweetly. "Yes Misses Rose," Zoey replied and then re-appeared with steaming towels. "Ahhhhhh," Rose said as the towels warmed her up. Unknown to her, Cedric was watching her. Hermione smacked Cedric in the arm and muttered "pervert."

"I think I'll head up too, I mean we did finish it 10 minutes ago," Hermione pointed out and Cedric decided to come with her. Fred and George left about 30 minutes ago back to the manor.

"Attention," Professor Snape said loudly. "You may dine here from now on until the end of the year. We are currently 2nd in points with 789 points while Ravenclaw has 910 points. Gryffindor and Slytherin both have around 500-600 points. I will allow you to have personal rooms if you finish the year with at least 4 Os. That means for first years, you need to ace either Potions, Herbology, History of Magic, Flying, Transfiguration or DADA. Four out of 6. Diggory you already have 6 Os. Potter, Granger, Bones and Abbott both already have 4 Os but Longbottom you need 2 more Os. Weasleys, you need 3 more Os," Professor Snape added.

Rose looked excited, she could finally have her own room without having to sleep next to Cedric, she beamed while Cedric was deciding whether to be happy or sad.

"Alright, dinner time," Professor Snape announced and the food was brought in. Unlike the Great Hall's food, this one was made fresh about 10 minutes ago making it more delicious.

After that, they went back to their rooms where Hermione was furiously studying and taking notes on her notebook which was already 3/4 filled. "What's the rush Hermione?" Rose asked. "Well, we have a pop quiz tomorrow in Potions and I want to be sure of everything. Quiz me," Hermione said in one breath.

"Uh… ok…" Rose said and began questioning her until 11pm when everyone was asleep. "Rose you should sleep now," Cedric suggested closing his books. "But she needs to quiz me," Hermione whined. "Hermione, I think you'll ace the test, now go to sleep," Lily Potter suggested from her portrait. "Alright," Hermione grumbled and went to her bed and collapsed. "Well, I guess she really knocked herself out, literally," Rose muttered and climbed under the covers and fell asleep. Unknown to James, Cedric carefully watched her until she fell asleep. "One day… I'll make you happy," he muttered and fell asleep. What he didn't know, was Lily heard it all and smiled. "I know you will," she thought in her head and smiled at the handsome sleeping boy who may be Rose's boyfriend in the future.
