"Hmm...well...hmm...I don't really care, mate. What ever you want, is fine with me." Ronnie said, then a thought randomly came to her head. "Hey, Rose! You should come over this summer, and meet my family!" she said. "That would be fun!"

'I would love to, if your parents would let me!' Rose grinned. 'You've gotta come over mine too! I've got Hemo coming, hopefully, so you gotta come to!' Rose said to her. 'I need to ask you something... Do you like William? As in more than friends?' Rose asked Ronnie, staring at the ceiling. 'If you do, step away sister, he's a baaaaaaaaad choice!' Rose warned her.

"My parents...I mean mom would probably let me." Ronnie said with a shrug and a smile. "And you have to meet ALL seven of my brothers! They're really cool!" she said. "Ask away, ask away." Ronnie said as Rose asked if she could ask Ronnie a question (that sounds confusing!) Then, Ronnie's eyes popped. LIKE William?! "Blimey, Rose! Of course not! Noooo way!" she said shaking her head, her bright orange hair whipping around. "Only as a friend." she said. "I only have a crush on Jordan. And that's it. I swear." she said. She was really telling the truth, she didn't have a crush on William at all. "Why do you ask?" she asked curiously, wondering why Rose would think that.

'Well, you seem to go pink whenever you're talking to him, but it's good that you don't, as he's a... well... It's rude words so I shouldn't say them!' Rose laughed. 'I don't like William, just so you know, I hate him, and he seems to have some idea that we're gonna be friends again, which is proposterous!' Rose said. 'I only have a crush on someone else, which I'm not sure about... Oh, by the way, Jordan says he won't date anyone until later years, so you're gonna be crushing for a long time, that's why I got over him... He doesn't like me, so yeah!' Rose told Ronnie

Lexi gently moved Kurumi's arms from around her and threw herself sideways in the floor. "Love.... what a bloody joke. It's torture, Kurumi. You fall in love and everything is PERFECT for a while and then... and then... it's just not anymore." Lexi began to cry again as she pulled her legs up toward her chest. Full on fetal position now.

"You shouldn't admire anything about me... I'm a joke. A failure... Everything I took turns to crap." PITY POT! PARTY OF ONE!

"Oh that. That was because I was looking at Jordan yesterday." she said laughing. "And yeah I know about Jordan....." Ronnie said. "I'm perfectly fine with that, I understand about the dating thing. I actually don't want to date myself now, maybe like in four years or something..." she said thoughtfully. "Who's the crush?" she asked curiously.

Kurumi wasn't sure what came over her in that moment, but perhaps she had inherited some of her Mama Lion's courage. Grabbing the nearest pillow from the bed, Kurumi flung it at Lexi and hit her with as much force as the little third year could muster right on the butt.

"LEXI!" she exclaimed not really knowing what she was going to say next seeing as she hadn't really thought through her actions. "THAT is a load of rubbish and you know why?" She hit Lexi again with the pillow. "Look at me! Do you even remember the conversations you've had with me about being willing to accept myself and NOT shy away from what I can do?" And another smack, this time a little weaker. "I have only been able to deal with things because I have you believing in me...so don't you DARE say that you are a joke!"

'Ooh, I've got you hooked, haven't I? Well, you know him, you were with him at the Courtyard, and the Lake with him. Tyler.' Rose announced. 'Well, I've left you Jordan for yourself now, so it's a win win, unless Tyler doesn't like me back... Which he probably doesn't, but, knowing me, I'll go and mess it up and tell him, then it'll get awkward, like it is with Jordan, he hasn't spoken to me for... 2 months, I think?' Rose calculated

Cove walked into the dorm and flung herself on her bed. She burried her head in her pillow and almost screamed in it. Just wanted this to be over! Why her family!? Cove looked up from the pillow. She stared at the wall wanting to just throw something at it. she grabbed the pillow and stood up in her bed. She hit the wall with the pillow over and over again. Cove hit the wall as hard as she could with the pillow and then she collapsed on the bed crying.

Uh... no. Lexi jerked upright as Kurumi hit her with the pillow, her eyes narrowing. "YOu know what's a load of rubbish..." and THWACK she was smacked again. Lexi flexed her wrist and smoothly caught her wand in her hand. Pointing it at the pillow she cast a nonverbal Expulso... the feather pillow exploded into a shower of down feathers and Lexi glared at the girl.

"THAT you hit me with a pillow was uncalled for, Kurumi Hollingberry. And let me tell you this: You ought not to be shy about your abilities. You were born that way."

She was still pretty peeved about the pillow assault that she didn't care that it looked like a chicken exploded in her dorm and there were feathers in her hair now. "My being a JOKE or a failure means nothing about me believing in you. I do. But honey... I am an utter failure more than a success and people see me for the joke that I am more than anyone sees good in me."

With that little tidbit she flopped back over sideways in a pile of feathers from her pillow. Woe was she. WOE WAS SHE.

"Tyler." Ronnie said. "That one bloke from the Courtyard......oh yeah!" she said remembering. "Come to think of it, you guys are a really cute couple!" Ronnie said, lightly elbowing her and laughing. "I don't like him that much, but he's okay. So I guess it is a win-win..." Ronnie said laughing. "Aww, you won't mess it up mate. You are a very sweet, pretty girl and every bloke in the school should like you." she said giving her a hug. "And Jordan hasn't spoken to you in two months?!" she said with shock. "Gosh! I'm sorry, Rose!" she said feeling sorry for her. "But yeah about Tyler, I think maybe you should make friends with him a bit more and THEN, when the time is right, you tell him how you feel about him." Ronnie suggested, it sounded a bit stupid but that was the only idea she got.

'Yeah, I'm speaking to Jordan now, so it's fine...' Rose gave Ronnie a hug back. 'Awm thank you, I hope Jordan likes you back too! Yeah, I am just gonna be friends, then I'll tell him, it's more safe!' Rose grinned

"Oh that's good." Ronnie said feeling her happy self again. "Yeah, I hope so too...but if he doesn't I don't mind. I can't make him like me, unless I give him a Love Potion, but I would never do that." she said. "Okay, yeah it sounds a bit more safe than just straight away saying: I like you!" Ronnie said with a laugh.

'Yeah, I'm pretty sure he'd get annoyed if you did that!' Rose laughed. 'Yeah, I agree, a lot easier...' Rose grinned

Wandering into the Dorms, Thea dumped down her bag. Spotting Ronnie and Rose in the corner, gossiping no doubt. About to roll her eyes, Thea stopped herself. Remembering she was Heeemo she plastered a smile all over her face and approached the two girls.
'Hi guys..' Thea quickly changed her voice slightly, to try and sound more like the bubbly blonde.

"Yeah, and I wouldn't want to force him to like me, that's not that nice." Ronnie said laughing. Ronnie remembered the night before, when she gave Jordan a big hug. . . . she smiled at the thought and then remembered she was in the Girl's Dorm and she shook her head and looked back at Rose. "Yup! A lot easier!" she said. Then Scabbers crawled out of her pocket and onto her lap and curled up. She patted him on the head.

'Aw, hello, Scabbers!' Rose grinned. She smoothed his fur, and was given an affectionate nibble. 'Aw, bless his little cotton socks!' Rose grinned, pronouncing her British accent more, using the British saying.

Ronnie smiled as Rose stroked Scabbers. "I knew what kind of pet I was getting when I was in Diagon Alley, and it had to be a rat." she said. "A lot of people think I'm weird for wanting a rat, but I think they're adorable!" Ronnie said as Scabbers scurried over to Rose's lap.

'Yeah, I love rats!' Rose said, as Scabbers scurried onto her lap. 'Aw, hello!' Rose cooed. 'Aw, I love him! He's sooooo sweet!' Rose grinned, hugging Scabbers.

"Me too!" Ronnie said. "Yes, he is very sweet, I love him to bits!" Ronnie said.

'Yeah... Aw here comes Maxine! Y'know, she's got little kittens in there!' Rose told Ronnie.

"No way!" Ronnie said. "Kittens?! That's awesome!" she said. "Well, I think I'll be getting to bed now. Night." she said sleepily.

'Yup... Alright, talk to you in the morning!' Rose grinned as she got into her own bed. 'I'm gonna miss you, Hogwarts!' Rose said quietly to herself. She felt herself get teary, and put her face on her pillow so no-one could hear. 'Night, me!' Rose said quietly.

"Mmkay." Ronnie mumbled. Ronnie then her muffled crying....from Rose's bed. She sat up. "Rose? What's wrong?" she asked.

'Nothing, I'm just thinking about how much I'll miss Hogwarts... It's my real home now... More than my parents place feels to me! Not that I'll tell them though!' Rose laughed shakily. 'Don't worry, I'm just being silly!' Rose smiled. YAWN! 'Aw, I'm gonna go to sleep now... Thanks, Ronnie, for being my friend and so on... Night!' and within 5 minutes Rose was asleep. Dreaming. Which is when she became vulnerable...
Rose woke up in a room. Her room. At her house. 'Wait, I'm meant to be at Hogwarts!' Rose said out loud. Then, she got up and left the room... Her parents... killed... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Rose screamed...
Rose awoke with a start. Just a bad dream! Rose went back to sleep.
