It's christmas in the house of Black!

"Not likely." Said Draco, looking at me from behind Harry.

"Go away! Just leave me alone, you selfish jerk!" I said, grabbing Harry's arm. I started to drag Harry away by the arm, and down the hallway.

"Why are you being so mean?" Asked Draco as he followed us.

"Rose, ignore him." Whispered Harry

"That's my plan." I whispered back

"I'm sorry! Okay, i'm sorry. Happy?"

"No, Draco. I'm not happy."

"You were....."

"What's that suppost to mean?" I whipped around to face him, ushering Harry to go on without me. He was hesitant, but finally left.

"You were happy....you and me both." Draco said

"That's long gone! Do you know how much that hurt?" I asked him

"I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking."

"What happens if, in the future, you aren't thinking? Hmm? Tell me. I can't believe i was so stupid as to trust you! I should've listened to Harry."

I started to walk away from him and towards the common room, away from all of this.

"Rose! I was worried he'd hex you or something. Are you okay?" Said Harry as i sat beside him on the common room couch

"No." I said truthfully

"What happened?"

"It hurt so much, Harry."

Silent tears started to drip down my face, not that i really cared.

"Rose.....i'm not trying to me mean but....i told you so."

He wrapped an arm around me and i leant my head on his shoulder, staring into the fire.

"Yeah. You told me so."

*********************************************************************************

"Hello Mrs. Weasley!"

"Hello everyone!" She engulfed us each in a bone-crushing hug, wich knocked the air out of me to be honest.

"Rose! I wanted to thank you for the uh....warning." Said Mr. Weasley

"It's okay Mr. Weasley. Don't sweat it."

I walked into the kitchen, passing Kreacher on the way, to see a few more people here.

"Remus! Tonks!"

I ran over to them and gave them a huge hug.

"I missed you guys!"

"We missed you too, Rose! How's school been?" Said Remus. We all took a seat.

Terrible. "Great!" I lied. "How's it been here?"

"Ehh. Had a bit of trouble with the other side, if you get our drift." Said Remus, smiling faintly. "Other than that, pretty boring."

"Your hair doesn't suit you, Rose." Said Tonks, staring at me.

"What do you mean?"

She took a finger and tapped her head with it. Hmmm. My hair....my hair!

"Oh! Like yours?" I finally got what she meant.

"Are you allowed to do that at school?" Said Remus suspicously

"I never had a problem with it." Shrugged Tonks

Hmmm. That would be pretty cool, to have hair like Tonk's.

"Are you okay with that?" I asked Tonks.

"Yeah. I think it would be pretty cool."

She cast a permanent Giminio charm on her hair, and transfered it to me.

"Your hair's already brown. What happened at school?" Remus accused me.

"Nothing happened." I lied eaisily.

I didn't even want to think anout what would happen if SIrius and Remus found out about Draco and i. Eesh. That gives me chills just thinking about it. I'll probably get hexed or something.

"Rose? You are a horrid liar, you know that, right?"

"i've been told so, yes." I retorted

"well; as your 'parents', it is our job to be concerned." Said Tonks. She paused for a moment, eyes sweeping over the room before giggling "what's his name?"

"Who's name?"

Oh no. Help?

"His name! There has to be someone!" Insisted Tonks "besides, your hair wouldn't be brown."

I mentally groaned at myself.

"Draco Malfoy...." I muttered, having bearly audible.

"Draco Malfoy?" Asked Remus.

Curse you Remus, and your super awesome dog senses!

"Yes?" I smiled at them.

"Rose! His dad killed you parents, and his family practically hates us. How do you know he won't...."

"Already has." I said, inturrupting Tonks, "And i'm over it. I should've listened to Harry, i already got the old 'i told you so'. It's okay."

"Rose, i think you need 'The Talk.'" Sighed Remus

"No! Nothing like tha- oh god, gross Remus! Eww." I was out the door in an instant, running past Fred and George in the hallway, leaving everyone laughing their toshes off.

"Glad you think it's funny!" I said "How about i give you my version of it?"

"Of what?" Asked Harry, coming down the stairs.

"Remus and Tonks found out about Draco, and attempted to have 'The Talk' with me."

Harry scrunched up his face causing his glasses to fall to the brim of his nose, making me laugh. Oh, what a joy, my family.

"I have never seen you here, Half-Breed." Came a scraggly and hoarse voice.

"That's Kreacher." Said Harry

"Greetings, Kreacher." I said

"Let's go eat, Rose."

I hope Remus and Tonks didn't decide to bring the topic up at dinner, because i think i'd really die. Oh, the horror!

But then again, one can only hope.

"Rose. We aren't done discussing the Draco matter." Said Remus as he and Sirius ate a large chocolate brownie. Funny, how much chocolate they can consume. But then again, dogs, chocolate, yeah.

"What matter?" I asked, growing ancy under all of the looks we were now receiving.

"About Draco. You remeber, eairlier? Your hair is still brown." Said Tonks, jumping in the conversation.

"Oh, yeah."

"What about Draco?" Asked Mr. Weasley

"They have been, how kids put it, Canoodling." Said Remus.

"You did not just say Canoodling...." i mumbled, facepalming.

"Rose! His father is a Death Eater on the run!" Said Sirius

"It's for ears of the Order only, my reasoning." I said

"You told me that you really did like him." Said Harry

"Harry! Not you too?"

"You like Malfoy?" Asked Ron and Hermione at the same time, a blush on Hermione's cheeks.

"Tell the entire wizarding world." I said sarcastically

"Is this what 'The Talk' was about eairlier?" Asked Ginny, Fred and George were up in their room scheming about the joke shop, wich is a good thing. I'd never live this down if they were here.

"Sadly, yes. And it was nothing like that! Only some kissing." I muttered the last part.

Many 'pppppppptttt' sounds were made as half the table had spit takes of pumpkin juice and tea, narrowly missing Remus and i, who were sat beside eachother. We did have to duck under the table, though.

"What?" Exclaimed Mrs. Weasley "oh, dear! Your only fifteen!"

"I know, and i regret the decision. Harry's already given me the 'I told you so'." I said

"Harry!" Hermione and Ginny both slapped him across the back of his head, making very, very, audible slap noise. I could hear Sirius laugh and choke a bit on his chocolate across from me.

"Don't slap me! My glasses fell off." Harry laughed as he grabbed his glasses from the table. i saw, once again, he had tape across the middle of them.

"What was the reason? We're all friends here." Asked Ron as the table quieted once more.

"Strict orders, it's for the Order's ears only." I smiled at him.

"Was this about you knowing?" Asked Mr. Weasley

"Yeah." I nodded

"Knowing what?" Asked Ron, still clueless.

"I know he's a prick." I covered

"We all knew that." Said Tonks "Your hair! It's blue."

"Yeah, i'm pretty happy."

"So, do you need 'The Talk"?" Asked Sirius, clearly not letting it go.

"No! Eech. It was nothing like that!" I said once again, fighting a smile

"What about that time i caught you two-" said Harry

"Harry." I warned

"Rose." He said back

A loud 'Pop!" and a cloud of smoke later, two twins appeared in the kitchen, threw something away, and disapperated again.

"I swear! Honestly! Those two apperate just about everywhere now! Gives me a heart attack every time." Said Mrs. Weasley.

"Let me help you clean up, Mrs. Weasley." I offered

"No, No. You go upstairs with them."

"Are you sure? I'd be perfectly fine with helping you."

"i'll be okay dear."

I bid Mrs. Weasley goodbye and started walking out the door with Harry, but i was stopped.

"There's going to be a meeting tonight, after nine. Are you coming?"

"Yeah, thanks Remus."

"See you then."

"What did Remus want?" Harry questioned when we all sat in his and Ron's room, Hermione joining us.

"Just to warn me about 'The Talk."" I said.

He clearly didn't believe me, as nobody else did either. I just didn't want Harry to get mad about it, even though he can't control it.

"I have to go to a meeting later. Don't worry." I sighed

"With the Order?" Hermione asked

"Yeah."

"Have fun with Snape, then." Ron snorted

"Whatever." I shrugged. I then procedded to sock Harry on the arm.

"What is it with you guys and hitting me?" He asked, rubbing his arm.

"Number one, your a twig." I said "Number Two, That's for making Remus's idea of giving me'The Talk' grow at dinner."
