''I can see myself...wherever I look! It's soo cool!'' Lucy was ranting on and on about the Стена of mirrors. Personally Rose found it annoying, but blocked it out with her happiness. ''Can I store some of the merchandise in here? Umbridge always finds it in my Dad's old hiding places...'' ''Sure Roxanne, but leave us some room to practice.'' Rose was surprised that she was letting Roxanne do something that she normally wouldn't. She supposed it was the fact that she was filled with glee. ''Well, we have to get down to business.'' Everyone in the room turned to look at Rose. ''Oh goodness the Granger's going to come out...'' James groaned. Rose narrowed his eyes at him, and he shut up. ''Anyway, Albus has brought up a few good points. We can't full well call us the 'D.A.' seeing as Dumbledore isn't alive anymore. We also have to nominate a teacher. We can't just have anyone teach us proper magic...'' They were all thinking. ''This is harder than I thought...you sure we can do this kid?'' Dominique asked, grinning. Rose's good mood disappered instantly. Why was all of them treating this like a joke? It certainly wasn't funny. ''Well, maybe...'' Фред trailed off. ''Forget it.'' ''No, it's okay Fred, just speak your opinion.'' Albus said. He apparently didn't want to be the first person to speak. ''Well...I was thinking...since Uncle Harry taught our parents in the D.A. that maybe...just maybe...either Albus или James could.'' The room was silent for a moment. Everyone looked at one another. It was obvious James and Albus were going to argue who was better for the role of teaching them. ''I vote Albus...'' Lucy сказал(-а) timidly. James shot a look at her. ''Thanks.'' He сказал(-а) coldly. ''That really helps.'' ''Don't lash out at her James, she was just voicing her opinion.'' Фред сказал(-а) softly. ''It was my idea after all, blame me.'' ''Alright then, I'll blame you. Didn't Ты know that me and Albus are pretty competitve?'' James, now instead of glaring at Lucy, was glaring at Fred. Rose knew that this was going to get ugly-and soon. The only thing that could get James and Albus to calm down was Lily. For some reason, the thought of their little sister getting all upset made them break down. Rose just thought it was protectiveness, and she would never understand because the only brother she had was younger than her. ''Now, let's not start to fight-'' ''Listen James, I'm older than you, and nothing Ты can say can indimate me.'' Now both James and Albus were glaring at each other. Rose hated it when the Potter/Weasley kids got into a fight. In a war. They had already Остаться в живых so many people in the war, and Rose didn't want to lose any more. ''Listen. Please stop-'' ''Rose, shut up! You're only trying to be in control as usual!'' Now, instead of glaring at Fred, James was glaring at Rose. But Rose didn't have the energy to glare back. She felt like she'd been punched in the stomach. James had always been like a big brother to her. The brother she never had. The only person that could make her feel better right now might take forever to respond but she didn't care. With all eyes on her and her eyes filled with tears, she spun on her heel and left the room. She started to walk up the stairs, but then decided to run. She finally got to her dormitory and pulled out a piece of parchment. She started to pour her feelings out to Hugo.

Dear Hugo,
I know there might be wet spots on this paper, but I'm crying right now so it excuses it. I really wish Ты were here right now, Ты and Lily. Ты would just tell me that only Дети cry, and then I would shut up because big siblings don't cry. But sometimes Hugo, I really do feel like crying. It's just...so hard. With only Weasley's (And they're a big help right?) and Albus and James. But now James is mad at me. And Albus is probably is going to stick by James because he's a Potter. And Hugo...Umbridge. I can't stand her! She's always making daft rules about how ''Boys and Girls have to be 7 inches apart from each other'' And things like that! You're the only person that understands me, Hugo. The only one. Just think about it. Ты and I, we come from the same parents that got teased and taunted. Ты and I, we're a team, Hugo. And you're the only person I have right now. Please write back, but I think that Ты will anyway..
Sincerely,
Rose

True to her word, there were some water stains on the letter, but she didn't care right now. She sent the letter with Amber, her owl, and then went into bed. She didn't even bother to put on her nightclothes. She was just too stung to care. She eventually drifted into sleep, the tears still wet in her eyes.
