Rose was waiting for Hagrid to open the door. ''Are آپ absouletly sure that he's home?'' Lucy asked. ''You're never sure that he's home. آپ just hope.'' And after that, it was silent. Roxanne stepped up behind Rose after a couple minutes. ''Rose,'' She murmured, ''I don't think he's here. Come on. We'll stay with آپ all دن if آپ want us to.'' Rose didn't think it would happen, but tears started to fill her eyes. ''Come on,'' Roxanne کہا again. She tugged on Rose's arm. Rose relucantly turned around and faced her cousins. ''I just really wanted to see him.'' Rose mumbled. She felt tears well in her eyes again, and the only thing the didn't want to do was cry. Especially in front of two of her cousins that would laugh at her, and the other would tell them to shut up. But, when Rose did start to let her tears fall, and walked down the small steps leading to Hagrid's house, Roxanne and Lucy did not make fun of Rose. They just took her up back to the قلعہ with them. ''We can just hang out in the Common Room...'' Roxanne said. ''It's a Hogsmeade weekend, why don't we go there?'' Lucy added. ''I'm a سیکنڈ Year. I can't go.'' All pairs of eyes turned on Rose. ''Ohh yeeah...'' Victoire sighed. Rose turned around. ''I'm just going to go to the library. I don't want آپ to worry about me all day, I just want آپ guys to have fun like آپ deserve.'' Her cousins stared up at her, and it was silent for a while. Rose pushed past her cousins and went up the long path that led to Hogwarts Castle. She walked past all of her fellow Hogwarts students, and whenever she walked سے طرف کی someone she knew, she would start to speed up her pace. Rose didn't want an encounter with anyone she knew. She was walking quickly, and looking down when-''Hey, watch where you're going-'' Rose looked up and met the boy's eyes. ''Hey James,'' Rose managed to choke out. Then Rose realized that her eyes were all red and puffy from crying while leaving Hagrid's. ''Are آپ okay?'' James asked. His eyes were looking Rose up and down, and he could sense that she was feeling mixed emotions at the moment. Sadness, Hurt, Anger...and many more. ''Fine.'' James opened his arms, and Rose, not even remembering he was mad at her, flung herself into his arms and started to cry. ''I'm sorry Rose...I didn't want to make آپ THIS upset..'' Rose didn't answer and kept crying. Finally, she pulled away. ''Can آپ just come with me to the library?'' She asked. He smiled. ''Sure.'' ''Oh and سے طرف کی the way, I made up with Albus.'' James added. Now Rose smiled. And with that, they went off to the لائبریری together.
