#Chapter 45

*Rose's POV*

In no time at all, many people started to like Defence Against The Dark Arts.

The group would always make fun of Professor Lupin's clothes and they never actually payed attention in his classes.

I had kind of lost my friends because Pants and Draco were the main people, like leaders.

They would talk to me, especially Blaise and Tracey, but Draco, Pansy and I didn't even look at eachother.

But I didn't really mind, I was always so busy with Hermione who forced me to stay with her and study. We had only just started the term and we were already preparing for the end of year exams. It was really tiring but Hermione said that it was improtant to start studing.

I only joined her for the sake of our friendship.

One time I had asked her if the both of us could use the Time Turner but she said no and threatened our friendship if I ever thought about it again.

Soon Quiddich season arrived and we were practicing very hard. Flint wanted to beat all the houses, once again, as it would be the last time.

It was Flint's last year.

"I can't wait for Hogsmeade!" Hermione squealed one day.

I sighed,"Yeah, I guess it is the only one thing that is a bit exciting this year."

"Who are you going with?" Hermione asked.

"I guess by myself," I replied,"The others are planning to go to Zonko's to find something to prank Lupin, but I don't really want to..."

"You could always join us, you know?"

"I would but I wouldn't fit in with you guys and I stil mad at Ronald and the Weasleys'," I said.

"You know, you should just forgive and forget."

I just ignored her and went back to my studing.

I heard her sigh and do the same too.

I woke up on Halloween.

After getting dressed, I went out of the common room, alone.

Today was going to be awful.

Midway to The Great Hall, I was called by Blaise.

"Yeah?" I asked him.

"Erm," he started stuttering,"W-Would you l-like t-to go t-to H-Hogsmeade with m-me?"

I thought about it, I was going to go alone..

"Sure!" I replied. Atleast I was going to have some company at Hogsmeade.

He smiled at me thankfully, was I not getting a hint of something?

I shrugged to myself.

"So," I said to Blaise as we walked to The Great Hall,"What do you think is going to happen this year?"

Blaise gave me a confused look,"What do you mean?"

"It is Haloween, something is bound to happen.. Like during the first year there was a troll and then in the second year Filch's cat got petrified," I said.

"I don't think anything can happen," Blaise replied,"I mean, the worst thing thta could actually happen is that Sirius Black would come inside the castle... But he wouldn't with a dementor guarding all around the castle."

I nodded,"True."

After breakfast, Blaise and I started to head outside the castle.

We were told to stand in a line. Draco let Blaise cut into the line, and of course, Blaise let me too.

"Scared Potter? Afraid the dementors will get you?" Draco said when he saw Harry not joining everyone else in the line.

Harry just ignored Draco and stomped of in the castle.

Blaise smirked.

When it was our turn, Filch looked at us as if he was to check if we were Srius Black who had drank a Polyjuice Potion.

When Filch was satisfied, he made two checkmarks of the list and allowed us to leave.

We sat in the carriages, before it was about to leave, Ron and Hermione got on.

Once they had sat down, I saw regret on Ron's face, then he sharply turned his face to Hermione.

Hermione looked back at him innocently.

I cleared my throat.

Once we were out of the carriages, Blaise asked me,"Where do you want to go first?"

"Isn't it obvious?" I replied.

Then we said in unison,"Honeydukes Sweetshop."

We smiled at eachother and followed the people who were going to Honeydukes Sweetshop as well.

"Wow," I said once we had entered the shop,"So many options!"

I looked around and then smirked at Blaise, he chuckled.

"What are you planning in that mind of yours?" Blaise asked.

I grabbed the Bat's Blood Soup and said,"It is Halloween, and this looks just like blood."

"So you are saying it is a perfect time to..." Blaise said raising his eyebrow.

I nodded and then whispered,"Prank them."

Both of us were now smirking.

Along with the Bat's Blood soup, I bought Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Blood-flavoured lollipops and Cauldron Cakes.

"I will take these please," I said giving Ambrosius Flume, the owner, my sweats.

"That will be 2 Galleons please," The man replied.

"I will pay for them," Blaise said coming to us.

"No way, I am paying for my own sweets, Blaise," I argued.

"No, I am paying for us," Blaise argued back.

I suddenly gave a frightened look.

"B-Blaise?" I whispered to him, looking scared.

He looked at me, confused.

"I-Its S-Sirius B-Black!" I said whispering at him and pointed behind him.

He turned around and I quickly paind for our sweets, I wasn't planning to pay for him, but I did it anyway.

By the time Blaise had turned around, our sweets were packed.

"Lets go," I said to Blaise, already walking.

"What about Sirius Black, Where is he?" Blaise replied, catching up to me.

I handed him his sweets and said,"He wasn't there."

"What do you mean? You saw hi- oh wait a minute, why did you pay for our sweets?" He asked frowning.

I smirked but did not say a thing and just carried on walking.

We were about to enter The Three Broomsticks when I heard my name being called out, It was Draco.

"Rose!" He said.

Then he looked at Blaise,"Why are you with her?"

Blaise looked quilty, scratching the back of his neck.

"Rose," Draco said once more,"Can I talk to you."

I nodded,"Sure."

Draco glared at Blaise,"In private."

"Of course."

We made our way to the shrieking shack.

"I told them about my hand..." Draco said.

"Oh really?" I asked. I saw Tracey and opened my mouth to call her, but I was cut off by Draco,"You don't believe me?"

I thought for a moment then sighed,"Of course I do, I will trust you no matter what."

"So are you friends with Pansy and I?" He asked.

"Yes."

He looked relieved,"Great! Come on, lets go to Zonko's, then."

I hesitated,"I can't, I have already made plans with Blaise."

Draco took a sharp breath, then nodded,"Of course, but next time we will go together, okay?"

"Sure!"

I went back to Blaise into The Three Broomsticks, and together, we planned the Prank.
