The Hidden One

The wedding was beautiful. Fleur and Bill were obviously in love and they both looked amazing. Ginny and Gabrielle were the bridesmaids while Charlie was the best man. Aunt Muriel made a very loud statement about her goblin made tiara and then how lowcut Ginny's dress was. Ginny heard the comment and winked at Cedric, making him blush heavily. Despite how beautiful everything was, Rose was very happy when the wedding was over and the reception started.

"I'm gonna go see Barny," Rose said to Moony, who nodded and let her walk off.

"Wasn't that just beautiful?" Hermione sighed to Rose.

"It was," Rose said, a bright smile on her face.

"Let's go say congratulations," Hermione suggested. Rose grimaced when she saw just how many people were around the couple.

"Maybe later," Ron said as he grabbed four butterbeers and passed them out. "Let's go find a table."

"I'm gonna go say hi to Neville first," Rose said as she pointed to where the boy was standing with his parents. Harry frowned a little and Rose grinned at him before making her way over.

"Hi, Neville!" Rose said happily. Neville glanced at her and blushed.

"H-hi," Neville stammered.

"Are you a friend from school?" Alice asked politely. Rose furrowed her eyebrows in confusion before remembering that she had taken Polyjuice potion.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot. It's Rose. I just had to take a potion," Rose said.

"It's so good to see you again!" Alice said as she pulled Rose into a hug.

"You too," Rose said. "How have you been?"

"We've been good," Frank said. "All thanks to you."

Rose awkwardly smiled at the ground. She didn't know how to respond when people said stuff like that.

"Isn't she the best?" Sirius said as he walked over and threw his arm over Rose's shoulder. "Unfortunately, she needs to go help her friends."

Rose furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, but she let out a laugh when she saw her friends. Viktor Krum was sitting at the table, much to the annoyance of Ron.

"It was great seeing you again," Rose said politely before making her way over to the table.

"Hey, Viktor," Rose said as she sat down. Ron had just taken Hermione to dance, leaving just Harry and Viktor at the table.

"Are you a fan?" Viktor asked.

"Oh, yes, sorry. I'm Valerie Lupin," Rose lied, trying to hide her smile. She was very bad at pretending to be someone else.

"Do you know this Xenophilius Lovegood man too?" Viktor asked. Rose looked to Harry, who nodded in the direction of Luna and her dad.

"Oh, no. I've never met him before," Rose said. "Why?"

"Because is he wasn't a guest, I'd duel him out of here right now for wearing that filthy sign on his chest," Viktor growled. Rose saw that the man was wearing a necklace that had a triangle with a circle and line inside of it, but she didn't know what it was.

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"The sign of Grindelwald," Viktor said darkly, his Bulgarian accent clear through his anger.

"Grindelwald...the Dark wizard Dumbledore defeated?" Harry asked. Rose stared at him in shock, surprised that he knew that.

"Yes," Krum confirmed. "Grindelwald killed many people, including my grandfather. He brought terror everywhere he visited. The necklace that man is wearing is Grindelwald's symbol. It's carved into the walls at my school...I know it well."
