Hugo slinked around a corner in the halls of his school before stopping, surprised to see anyone else in the hallways, surprised to see anyone else in the hallways; not knowing that class had started fifteen minutes ago. In a talking mood today Hugo quietly bounced up behind the other unsuspecting wizard, “Did you know that Chinese Chomping Cabbages have the ability to eat things like carrots and other vegetables? Isn’t that just wicked? But wouldn’t that be like cannibalism? Then that would be like wicked but not like wicked you know? Like a different kind of wicked but maybe still wicked?” Hugo said, his mind on rapid fire and he simply spat out everything that came to his head, barely giving himself enough time to breathe let alone the other person to process what he was saying. 

       “Hugo! What are you doing out here? Aren’t you supposed to be in class?” Rose asked, raising her wrist to take a look at her watch, then at him once more. She was out simply because her Professor had asked her to go look for something in the Greenhouses. As far as she knew, her brother did not, even if he spoke about that. Knowing him, he had simply been far too distracted with something to realise he was actually late. “Come on, lets go, I’m taking you straight to your classroom and apologizing to the Professor for your tardiness.”

                    oriana watches the other students attempt with barely concealed        humour dancing in the darkness of her eyes. at being denied an          easy key to academic success, the other opens their mouth to object         giving ori the time to slide into the seat beside rose with a cat-ish smile                                  ❛ might want to run along and study for that test                                    tomorrow - any failure you have is deserved after                                     falling asleep under Longbottoms watch - now shoo… ❜

        Rose was about to open her mouth to say something else but she was cut off by someone, Oriana. She closed her mouth, though she was unable to hide the amused expression on her face as the girl pretty much sent the other person on their way, quicker than they had decided to come ask for her help. 

         “Thank Merlin you showed up. I tried telling them in every way I knew how to leave me alone. Some people just don’t believe it when I say I don’t study.”

“shocking rose, just shocking. i don’t know what to do with this information. should we spread it or keep it to ourselves?”

“No need to. I’m pretty sure everyone else has figured it out by now, if you ask me. Come on. You need to finish your homework, and NO, before you ask, I’m not helping you. I’m only supervising you.“

[rosicsg]

dcmiweasle:

dom raised a brow at her cousin’s dramatics, biting back a laugh that threatened to slip free. once the ‘information’ was out dominique feigned surprise, going as far as to place a hand on her chest. “rosie, that is…how could you keep that information from me?”

       “And you know something else? People are supposed to figure it out just from the name of this place. School. What are the two things you’re supposed to do here? Study, and people. Not one or the other. Both. You must’ve missed that memo, even though you knew what you were coming to in that train, little girl.”

[rosicsg]

dcmiweasle:

“is that really what we’re here for? i thought we were here to have fun and live out the ‘best years’ of our lives. did i get the wrong memo?”

       “I probably shouldn’t tell you this. Since it’s classified information but... ” She pulled her cousin in closer, draping one of her arms around her shoulders. “... You can actually do both. Imagine the surprise most of us went through?!!”

[rosicsg]

dcmiweasle:

“it is when you brag about it.”

      “... It’s a school, Dominique. People come to school to study, and do well. It’s not bragging when you’re not the only one doing it. You know that?”

         ❝ yeah. ❞ he sat down next to her and started fiddling with one of the quills on the desk. rolling it in his fingers. he shot a glance to her face before his eyes darted back to each individual object on the desk. he sighed, trying to gather his own bundled thoughts. ❝ why are people in this world so cruel to others that they don’t even know? — why do they judge people just based off one thing they did or said? or things they’re interested in? or how they look? ❞ he tugged the hat over his freezing ears, a feeling he’d gotten used to. he always preferred the cold over the heat. and sweat made him too uncomfortable in his own skin. ❝ and everyone’s so progressive, like, who cares if you’re gay anymore? — but, why do people still have a problem with ME? ❞

       Everything he said made Rose smile. Not because what he was saying was something funny but rather because she had the exact same thought every day. People were usually mean and cruel and everything in between because they could, because no one ever bothered to say anything, to put an end to it. If everything their parents went through wasn’t enough proof of that, Rosie didn’t know what would be. Her face turned into one of concern when he spoke about himself. “What about you, again? Did someone do something to you? Said anything to you?” She asked, already starting to push her things into her schoolbag to get up and go hunt whoever dared thinking bothering Frank with non-sense was alright.

           ❝ i do the same. ❞ except, he barely did homework, and some classes just didn’t deserve his fullest attention. ❝ but, that’s not why i’m here. i don’t need a tutor. i’m just confused. ❞ perhaps for the first time in his life, he felt puzzled, not by school or anything, just EMOTIONALLY. he needed a familiar face. a friend. while, he did consider the weasley-potters like a second family, he never really considered most of them friends in any way. he didn’t take time to hang out with them. maybe, that’s what needed to change to feel happy again. maybe he needed a bit more than his two pre-existing friends.

       “Confused?” She turned to look at him, placing her quill down next to her books. Her own lost expression making it obvious she was expecting everything but that. “About what?” She leaned back against the table, half her body turned to pay attention to what he was saying. “Do you want to sit before I break my back?” It was a little hard for her to keep her indoor voice, even now in the library but it would have to do for now. Frank had taken his time to find her, she might as well don’t make him waste his time.

      “Relax, Rosie Posie, I’m not here to ask you to do my homework or tutor me. I can handle that shit myself. I was just trying to escape someone and you seemed the best option.”

        “I’m pretty sure that someone knows already I’m your cousin. Not to mention... well, you know. You don’t swing that way.” She laughed, setting her quill down. “You could just tell them to sod off instead of running from them. You know that, right?”

“But.. wouldn’t that be considered studying?” Santiago asked. “But hey, what do I know, right? I’m failing just about every class I’m in. Please help me, Rose. I’m desperate.”

        “No. It’s just doing homework, Iago. You might want to try that if you haven’t already.” Rose claimed sternly. Bad thing that came with having good school performance was that everyone though she must spend her time studying her ass off; far from the truth actually. Just the same, she sighed, resigned. “Okay, alright, you can sit with me to get your homework done, but I can guarantee you I’m not going to be any help.”

[rosicsg]

dcmiweasle:

“you’re such a show off, rosie”

       “I hardly think doing what I’m supposed to do at school is being a show off, Dom.”

[rosicsg]

       “Again, I don’t study. I just get my assignments done in time, and after reading and writing stuff down, I’ve learned everything I need to for when the tests come. I would NOT be a good tutor. You might want to ask someone else”

              “ bloody cat! “ the ginger’s voice rang loud and clear through the halls as she pushed her way past the people around her. “ don’t come looking for me when you get eaten by the giant squid! “ she yelled after the furry creature once again, hazel eyes narrowing as she shook her head. “ hope you do get eaten, it would surely put you out of my misery.. “ she mumbled to herself before looking up an embarrassed grin now present on her features as she noticed someone was near enough to hear her rant. “ oh bloody hell.. i’ve totally just made an arse of myself haven’t i?  i’m not mental, i swear. or actually i might be who bloody knows at this point.“

       “... You are yelling at a cat.” Rose pointed out, not calling her anything or telling her it was alright. “Did you get him as an adult? Is it even yours?” Being completely honest... the idea that the cat was probably not hers wasn’t that far fetched, all things considered. Sighing, she stepped forward. “Come on. I’ll help you catch it. We might as well before something happens to it.”

                              ❛ ugh, no, just leave me to die here, my pride is gone, my crops                                 are dead. i think I’m getting a pimple. even a first year, a tiny itty                                 bitty first year managed to sass me today. the shame!    ❜

        “See, I would love to, but I can’t just leave you here. Come one. If another first year sees you, they’ll know your weaknesses. And you don’t want to have to look behind your back whenever you have to do something around them. Do you?”

Introducing lady number IV:

( HAYLEY LAW ) ⤬ There goes ROSE GRANGER-WEASLEY. I hear they’re SEVENTEEN, a SEVENTH YEAR. Would you believe SHE really is a GRYFFINDOR? At least, I’ve heard they’re CLEVER and PASSIONATE, but they also seem somewhat COMPETITIVE and SELF-CONSCIOUS. For a HALF-BLOOD, I think they’re alright, but you never know.

Pride of her mother, source of constant worry of her father.

Rosie is a very independent girl. Doesn’t like asking others for help unless extremely necessary, and matches her mother’s cleverness any day of the week... as well as her levels of passion in some social issues, much to her father’s dismay. 

When an injustice happens in the world, wherever it may be, Rose can get into really heated discussions about it. Like VERY heated. Discrimination against muggleborns, magical creatures, anti-muggle behaviour; all around bigotry, Rose is having NONE of it, even if it means losing her manners from time to time.

Is over protective of all her cousins, including the ones who are already older than her. 

Mom friend™. 

She’s a little self-conscious about her weight and appearance but she doesn’t let that show. She’s a little envious of her cousins Dominique and Victoire because they’re naturally just so beautiful, and she feels a lot less than them because she doesn’t stand out like they do.
