Rosetta's POV:

Timeskip - a month later

Kayla had gotten out of the hospital the same week she had been admitted there, so for the past three weeks we've gone back to our way of walking the halls of Hogwarts pretending no one else exists whilst Potter does everything to stop me from ignoring him after what happened last time we spoke.

Anyway today is Saturday the 3rd of October and the first Quidditch match of the year that being Gryffindor Vs Slytherin at 2pm and it is now 11am so I should probably get up.

"Hey lazy, get yo ass out of that bed before I push you off it!" charming, yep I should get up, I here the door open and someone stamp across the room towards me
"I'm up, see I'm up!" I raise my hands
"Your very lucky my friend, very lucky" she signals that she's watching me and I shake my head at her childish behaviour "hey are we going to the Quidditch match today?"
"I don't know"
"I'm going to take that as a yes, good I'm glad" she grins
"Ok what's going on? Your giving me that creepy grin"
"What grin?" She smirks mischievously "okay fine I went down to the Quidditch pitch, you know checking out the guys to see if there ready"
"Which guys?" I question nervously
"All the Quidditch team, keep up, and Potter and Black were flying shirtless around the pitch" I look at her horrified
"What?" I squeak
"You are one lucky girl" she states winking, I stare at her dumbfounded
"That's disconcerting, absolutely disgusting, Potter seriously!" she laughs
"You had to be there" she waves me off "we should go get some breakfast, get changed" she leaves the room, poking her head in again she hurriedly quips "quickly" I make a face and she leaves
"Argh" I get changed quickly into a black pair of jeans paired with a blue simple top and then I hurriedly scuttle down the stairs, skidding to a stop in front of Kayla who 'kindly' laughs in my face. "Lets go" I grab her arm and lead her towards our spot at the Gryffindor table, just in time for the Gryffindor team to walk in and the whole table erupts in cheers and surprise surprise Potter leads his friends to sit right near us.

He wraps an arm around my shoulders to which I twitch nervously, visibly uncomfortable under his gaze. Kayla smirks at me across the table; now and then looking at the arm that Potter kept wrapped around my shoulders even though it was clear I wished he would move it
"How was Quidditch practice? you guys looked good" I stare at her in shock, Potter laughs raising his eyebrows
"I thought I saw you at the pitch"
"Yeah wanted to see if you were ready for the match and you definitely were" she winks

Okay this is ridiculous, i think as I watch her wink at Potter so I speak up
"I need to speak to my sister" I announce quietly knowing they could all hear me, I get up quickly and go to sit by my sister who is talking animatedly with Alice and Marlene "hi"
"Hi, what's up?" Lily asks, I wave my hand dismissively putting my head on the table "are you okay?" I look up and then put my head back on the table

Kayla's POV:

"What's up with Rose?" I look back to Potter after watching Ro leave, I may have pushed it too far, which is a regular occurrence for me, I'm going to have to apologise again later, whoops
"What do you think Potter?" I snap
"I didn't say anything to her and she's been ignoring me, you were the one speaking" he points out
"Shut up" i say, I then eat before getting up and leaving the Great Hall, signalling for Ro to follow to which she nods

"I'm errrm I'm sorry" I stutter uncomfortably "I may have pushed it to far"
"Yep, whatever, your forgiven" she says half-heartedly
"I really am sorry" I finally respond sincerely
"I know" I look at her guiltily
"Ro are you mad at me?" I ask cautiously, I try to drop the badass facade
"No" I look at her, silently questioning her "honestly it's fine, can we just move on"
"Okay, should we go outside and wait for the game to begin in two hours" maybe she's upset about it because I winked at James. Does she like him? No.
"Sure" she shrugs

Rosetta's POV:

Ok, I am mad at her because this happens a lot where she makes the atmosphere uncomfortable as she starts flirting but she's my only friend, well apart from Sev, but I don't have the energy to fight with her.

We sit outside each doing are own thing, she starts reading the daily profit whilst I read a muggle book

"Oh my gosh there's been more muggleborn attacks, three killed in diagon alley, how could they do that in such a public place?"
"I don't know" I try to ignore what she is saying as it always has bad news in it these days given the rising of he-who-must-not-be-named and the more death eaters he appoints it ends up worse.

"It's horrible"
"Yeah" I fade out
"Oops we must go, game starts in twenty mins and I want good seats, come on, up, up, move"
"Okay, okay, okay" I get up and follow her towards the pitch and then up onto the Gryffindor stands
"Oooh I'm excited"
"Why?" She dismisses my comment

The stands quickly start to fill, my sister takes the space next to me and her friends crowd around her.

"Welcome to the first Quidditch game of the season"
"Slytherin Vs Gryffindor" the Prewett twins take turns in speaking
"Please give it up for the fabulous Gryffindor team"
"We're not biased" the other twin shouts
"The new team captain and seeker James Potter, the beaters Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon, what a feisty girl"
"Prewett" Mcgonagall warns
"Sorry, there we see the keeper Ludo Bagman and finally the chasers Frank Longbottom, Molly"
"Our sister, kick their asses Mol!!" Fabian shouts
"And finally the newest Gryffindor Quidditch member Liam Tyler"
"And now for the Slytherin Quiddich team the captain and beater Evan Rosier and the other beater Antonin Dolohov, the seeker Lucius Malfoy, keeper Regulas Black and finally the chasers Amycas and Alecto Carrow and Bartemius Crouch Junior"
"Lets go, the bludgers are released followed by the golden snitch"
"The seeker that catches the snitch ends the game, gaining 150 points for there team"
"The quaffle is released and the game begins Amycas catches the quaffle and passes it to Alecto and then onto Bartemius Crouch, oooh Mol intercepts, yes! She passes the quaffle beautifully to Liam he shoots, 10 points to Gryffindor" everyone starts shouting around me

An hour later:

"It would seem Potter has spotted the snitch and Malfoy seems to be catching up"
"Wait he's got it, Potter's got the snitch and GRYFFINDOR WINS!!!!!" Everyone shouts and starts hugging around me, Potter flies towards me and takes the snitch putting it in my hand and closes my fingers around it, lifts my other hand, kisses it and flies down to the pitch catching up with Sirius. People around me squeal I hear people making comments such as
"Why would he like her she's not that pretty?"
"She's so mundane"
"Awww that was so cute"
"I wish someone would love me the way he loves her"
"Are they dating?"
I try to ignore the comments whilst pulling Kayla with me to leave the stand
"Had to get away from all the chatter" I explain
"That was so cute" I look up at her
"Shut up" I mutter half-heartedly as I look at the snitch in my hand
"Come on"
"Where are we going?"
"Common room" she replies
"Why?"
"There's going to be a party I heard Sirius shout it, we're going"
"No Kayla you know I don't do parties"
"An hour that's all I'm asking" she pleads
"Fine" I give in knowing I will regret it later
