LESSONS IN LOVE
Chapter Four
Rose had many secrets no one knew
about. She had learned dark magic. She knew it was dangerous to be learning
about it herself, but she had found the book and wanted to learn to protect herself.
She had meddled with the three unforgivable curses—Imperius, Cruciatus, and
Avada Kedavra. She knew she shouldn't have done this, but she had used it on a
dog that was going to attack her one day when she was returning from school.
Afterwards, she kept on using it on whoever did her wrong. Nobody told on her
because they didn't have the nerve.
One day, after classes, she
pulled Harry aside. He was shaken by her. He wondered why she had pulled him
into a corridor. "Rose, what are you doing?" Harry dropped some of
his books.
"Harry, you have been
truthful with me. It’s only right that I do the same. I am not proud of what I
have done, but I know dark magic, and I’ve used it, too. Don't think of me as a
bad person, because I'm not. It was all for survival." She picked up his
Advanced Potions book, looked inside, and noticed writing in it.
"Harry, this book--did you
write this? Sectumsempra?" she asked.
"Can you keep a
secret?" he asked.
"Sure." She nodded and
gave the book back to him.
"When I came to Hogwarts, I
was to take Advanced Potions with Slughorn, but I didn't have a book, so I used
a used one. Later, I found out someone named the Half-Blood Prince had written
in the book. It has a lot of things made up, but they work. Promise not to
tell?" Harry pushed her against the wall.
"Never. My lips are
sealed." She smiled at him.
They walked down the hall. Malfoy
got in the way. "So, Potter, got yourself a girlfriend?"
"Yeah, and proud of
it." He held Rose close.
"Knock her up yet,
Potter?" Malfoy loved to make Harry's life a living hell.
"It's more than I could say
for you. You wouldn't know the touch of a woman." She leaned against
Harry.
"I've known the touch,
Weasley. Has Potter?" he teased.
"That's our business, not
yours, Malfoy." She dragged Harry with her.
Rose thought in her head, Imperius.
Malfoy lost control and stood there awaiting her command. She turned and just
left. It had worked. Using her mind without speaking the curse had worked, too.
"Do you think Malfoy has
been intimate with a woman?" she asked Harry.
"Wouldn't know, but I
wouldn't doubt it," he said as he laid his books in the library.
"Have you?" she asked,
curious about him.
"Have I what?" he
asked.
"Been intimate?" She
waited for his response.
"No. Never." He looked
embarrassed.
"Want to change that?"
She pushed him into a far corner of the library no one was in and kissed him
hard on the lips.
She teased him, and she liked it.
He had no control over what she was doing to him. She kissed his neck and he
moaned. That was the response she was waiting to hear. Make Potter drop to his
knees. She got so into it that she picked up his books and dragged him to the
Gryffindor common room.
"Put these in your
room," she told him.
He went to put his books away.
Dumbledore had put a charm on the boy's side of Gryffindor Hall so no females
could pass. Rose used one of her charms and took down the defense.
"Harry, is anyone in
here?" she asked.
"No. Everyone is down in the
library, I suppose," he told her.
She locked the door and went to
Harry, kissing him. She pushed him onto his bed and laid down with him. She
knew that his neck was sensitive, so she placed her tongue on it and gently
sucked it. He moaned like he had in the library.
Rose got up and let loose the ties
of the curtains that surrounded his bed. She wanted privacy.
"What are you doing?"
he asked.
"You'll see. Close your
eyes," she said when the curtains were all drawn closed. When he closed
his eyes. she took off her shirt and her skirt.
She came closer, removed his
glasses, and put them on the nightstand. She kissed his red, swollen lips and
laid him on his back, straddling him as she climbed on top of him. She wanted
him. She needed him.
He opened his eyes and was
surprised. She was in her bra and underwear. He didn't say a word, just laid
back and enjoyed her kisses. She brought his hands to touch her.
"Make me yours, Harry. Let
me be the first," she whispered in his ear.
He wasn't sure about this. He
didn't know if he was ready for this step in his life. "Rose, I'm not sure
about this. I'm not sure if I am ready to take this step."
"Uh…Harry, if you haven't
noticed, you’re ready, all right." She could feel his manhood underneath
her, coming to life.
Just then, they heard the door
open. Rose heard, jumped off of Harry, and he threw her his invisibility cloak.
She slipped it over her head.
"What's all this?" Ron
asked.
"Uh…nothing. I fell asleep,
and since it was daylight, I closed my curtains." He smiled and nodded.
Ron saw a girl’s shirt on the
floor. He knew it wasn't Harry's. "Have something to explain?"
"Uh…that's none of your
business." Harry took Rose's shirt.
"You had a girl in here,
didn't you? Was it Rose?" he asked.
"Listen, Ron, I swear I
didn't do anything to your cousin. She came in here and she started to…well…you
know." Harry was nervous.
"Did you two...?" Ron
looked at him.
"Uh…no. You came right in
time." Harry looked very nervous now.
"I know it’s none of my
business, but if you did, I hope you did the right thing," Ron said.
Harry nodded. "Of
course."
Rose was still in the room. She
had managed to put her skirt on, and she came toward Harry, kissing him on the
cheek.
"She's still here, isn't
she?" Ron asked when Harry grabbed hold of the air in front of him.
Rose lowered the invisibility
cloak. "Of course I am. Can I have my shirt back, please?"
"Oh, yeah. Here." Harry
passed it to her.
"Thank you." She took
off the invisibility cloak and put on her shirt.
"Well, I had better study. I
suggest you two do the same." She left with her shirt half-buttoned.
She came out of the boys’ dorm
buttoning her shirt. Hermione and Ginny looked at her.
"Hello, Hermione,
Ginny." She smiled.
"Hello, Rose. How did you
get into the boys’ dorm?" Hermione asked.
"A little trick I
know." She felt happy to know what she knew about Hogwarts. "See you,
girls. I am gonna go shower." Rose left, still feeling the hotness that
Harry had left on her skin. The scent of him drove her beyond insanity.
