WHY AM I HERE? [ROSE]

[Deleted]

It was very early morning and the sun was still sleeping, as Sean got out of bed and looked out onto the grounds and saw that it was indeed still dark outside. He slipped out of sleep ware and got into his a jeans and a t-shirt along with a coat, he liked muggle clothing despite growing up in pure-blood family. He had no idea had what came over him or why he could not sleep, but he felt he needed to venture down to the grounds, for some odd reason. He quietly sneaked out the Ravenclaw common room and started moving down the magical steps, and he saw out the window the sun starting to peak out. It wasn’t curfew anymore, but no one was usually up or at least walking around this early in the morning, except maybe a Professor two and of course ghosts, ghosts didn’t sleep. He eventually reached the main floor and snuck out through the courtyard to get to the grounds, at first he started heading over to the Black Lake but, then he took a sharp detour and just kept walking as his thoughts poured into something else.

The nightmares keep happening…there is no way I’m visiting the guy thought Sean he kept his pace as normal and then looked up and saw the White Tomb in the near vicinity of him, but something caught his eye. He crouched behind a bush nearby and looked over seeing that someone was standing near the tomb, leaning over it all the way both hands gripping the sides of it. He made a rustling in the bush as he tried to see who it was, and the person must have had excellent hearing as their head snapped in the direction of right where Sean is. He crouched behind the bush again and held his breath not trying to make a sound, he was sure the person had seen him, as he saw the person it was the Transfiguration Professor Vincent Stone. What is he doing out here so early thought Sean noticing that the sun had just started emerging, close to half way but not just yet. Looking back over the bush, he saw the man was gone he stood up looking around but, could not see him at all. Then something caught his eye in the grass, it was moving fast across the grass back to the castle, a long black snake. Sean immediately remembered students in the common room mentioning to him that the new Professor was an Anamgi and was able to change into a rather large black snake.

Moving over to the where the White Tomb was, Sean looked around it wondering exactly what the Professor had been doing but he found nothing weird at all or out of the ordinary. He scratched his head for a second, and just shook his head thinking maybe the Professor was just talking to the grave, like Dumbeldore was there. He took a seat on the bench that was nearby and just stared at the Tomb, he never had met the former Headmaster but had read about him and heard many people speak well of him, however he remembered his Aunt always saying horrible things about him how he embraced mud bloods, something Sean saw no problem with. So why am I here? What made me walk down here thought Sean, as he had never planned to go near the tomb, but felt for some reason to go near it.

Always an early riser, Rose Weasley had been awake for nearly thirty minutes now. She sat in the common room in front of the dim fire, as she did almost every morning. She had a book in hand, of course, as usual. This was how Rose spent her mornings. Rising early and getting some good reading in before starting the day. She was already dressed, however, in some jeans and a light pink jumper. Her tennis shoes were on the ground in front of the couch, as her legs were folded on the cushion with the book resting on them. Rose was rather into her book this morning but something managed to catch her attention. Someone had just come down the dormitory steps and gone through the portrait hole. Rose slowly closed her book, confused as to why someone else was up this early. It was odd, that was for sure. But something told Rose that she should follow that person. It was feeling that Rose realized she couldn't ignore, no matter how much she wanted to.

Biting her lip, and after a moment of deliberation, Rose got up, slipping into her tennis shoes and quickly tying up the laces. She leapt for the portrait hole and began to follow the mysterious early riser.

Rose followed the person, whom she quickly realized was a boy, down the moving staircases, through the main entrance hall, and out to the grounds. The sun was barely up. Rose mentally let out a sigh of relief that it wasn't curfew anymore, for Rose wasn't fond of breaking the rules, much like her mother. Rose continued to slowly follow the boy, then found that he was heading for... the White Tomb? Rose had heard many stories about Albus Dumbledore. Her parents and her uncle were very close with him. From what Rose gathered, he was a very talented and loved man. His grave was also the only grave on the grounds of Hogwats, so that meant he had to have been pretty important.

Something was off, though, as she followed the boy into a brush. She moved off to the side, leaning against a tree trunk that was surrounded in the brush as well. Rose watched the boy and noticed that he, too, was watching someone. Rose followed his gaze and saw none other than the new Transfiguration professor. Rose's eyes narrowed as she watched him, keeping completely still. But then, the professor's head snapped in she and the boy's direction and Rose felt herself gasp quietly. She closed her eyes for just a moment, cursing herself, but when she opened them, the professor was gone. Instead, a snake was slithering off toward the direction of the castle.

Rose pressed her lips together and turned back to the boy. He was gone now too. She looked around the area for him, confused. Then she saw him. He had moved up to the White Tomb. It was then that she realized it wasn't just a Ravenclaw boy. It was the Head Boy, Sean Owens. Rose knew of him, and had spoken a few times in passing to him, but never a full on conversation. It was then she decided to make her presence known.

She ducked out of the brush, standing up straight with her hands on her hips. "Well, that was weird," she said, referring to the professor as she walked up to stand next to Sean.

He stared at the tomb as his thoughts keep whirling around his head trying to figure out what had made him walk down here, in this direction, why he was even still sitting on a bench near this tomb and just looking at it. Not like Dumbledore going to walk up out of the grave Sean he thought as he rolled his eyes at his own sarcastic thought. He stared at the tomb no longer for an additional thirty seconds or so until he heard someone walking up to him, turning his head to see another student approaching him. He realized that it was another Ravenclaw, and that it was Rose Weasley, and he swore his heart gave a slight flip. He was crushing on the Weasley girl, what he could say she was smart, cute, and he had to admit he liked how she was bossy and outspoken as well. He nodded at what she said and looked over in the direction of where the snake had slithered off towards the castle. So she followed me thought Sean, he hadn’t seen anyone following him, but Rose wasn’t here at the tomb before him. ”Yea tell me about it...the guy gives me the creeps honestly, probably because he changes into a snake” said Sean giving a grin, he disliked the house of Slytherin very much so.

He moved over on the bench so in case she wanted to sit down unless, she just stood awkwardly the entire time she spoke to him. He looked at the tomb for a little while before saying anything, thinking about how he had seen the Professor leaning so close to the tomb, like he was having a conversation with the former Headmaster. There’s no spell to raise the dead or talk to the dead…right? thought Sean, he looked up over at Rose now who was just there. Honestly, she was one person he could never get enough of, despiting seeing her in the common room, classes, of and she was co-captain of the Charms club, which he was captain of. ”So you following me Rose? I know I was cute, but wow I’m cute enough to get a stalker” said Sean he gave a slight laugh and a grin at Rose, he loved messing around with everyone. He leaned back a little on the bench he was sitting on, without knowing there was no actual back to it, almost falling over. Catching himself he gave a laugh to try take away from the embarrassing moment he just had of almost falling flat on his back. ”I meant to do that…” said Sean with a half-grin but still an embarrassed look on his face.

The right side of Rose's mouth curled up into a slight smile when the Head Boy turned to look at her finally. Sean Owens wasn't a bad looking boy. In fact, Rose thought him to be pretty handsome. Plus he was Head Boy, and Rose loved authority. She was quite the bossy pants herself, after all. So it was only natural that she was drawn to him for that reason. The brunette turned her head in the direction she had seen the snake... er, professor, slither off in. "Yeah, and he's Head of Slytherin," she rolled her eyes at the mention of the house as she turned back to Sean. "How'd a guy like that manage to waltz in here and get that position?" She asked, a look of confusion mixed with disgust on her face. Rose gave a shudder as Sean said "snake." Rose absolutely hated snakes.

Rose sat down next to the dark haired boy no problem after he had scooted over. Rose was never one to beat around the bush, especially when offered something. She was much like her father in that right. Rose rolled her eye again, but this time she had a little smile on her face. "Don't flatter yourself, Owens," she said matter-of-factly. The Weasley then looked at the tomb for a moment, until she felt Sean lean back and nearly fall backward off of the bench. Her head turned to look at him as he looked back her with a little grin. Rose covered her mouth with her hand, to hide her laughter, but she made no effort to stifle her giggle. She returned her hand to rest over her free hand in her lap. "I'm sure you did," she said, her eyebrows raised a little skeptically at her fellow Ravenclaw, but her facial expressions staying playful nonetheless.

Looking around, Rose had realized she had never been down to the tomb before. Which was odd, considering her parents' roles in the Second Wizarding War and their closeness to Dumbledore. Her eyes then befell the tomb once again. How odd, indeed, it had been to see Professor Stone at the tomb. Rose tilted her head to the side, her eyes still on the tomb. "What do you think he was doing?" She asked, her eyebrows creased in concentration. Rose had always been good at solving little mysteries, but never any this serious. This was something she felt like she almost had to report to someone higher up, like the Headmaster, or something. Instead, she then turned to Sean to hear his take on the situation.

His eyes turned away from the tomb and back to Rose who had mentioned that Professor Stone was the Slytherin Head of House as well. He had almost forgotten that, and it made sense considering he was a snake. Again, a freaking bloody snake! Doesn’t that scream evil enough for you? thought Sean wondering the exact same thing that Rose had just brought up. How did the man become their new Transfiguration Professor, all he knew was the guy could turn into a snake and apparently travelled a lot. Thinking about it for a while sitting next to Rose, he remembered over hearing the Professor greet some Slytherin’s in the great hall when he first arrived. ”I think I overheard him saying he was here on behalf of the Headmaster. So I guess friend in high place, either way I don’t trust snakes” said Sean giving a look to Rose. He gave a little embarrassed grin about how he had almost fallen just off the bench and that Rose had giggled, truthfully he found her reaction cute in some sort of way.

He gave a little laugh at her comments and his embarrassing grin turned into a smile and just looked at her. ”Oh ok, so you just followed me by mistake”?asked Sean raising an eyebrow to her and his tone was a little sarcastic to her. He crushing on girls was normal, but something about Rose stood much more out to him, more than a normal a crush he would say. Normally, Sean wouldn’t even care about crushes, he went after any girl that was good looking, and he was a player. Known to the students that Mister Head Boy was a player, and open about it. Longest Relationship was two months thought Sean giving a little laugh in his mind. At her next question he looked at her and then looked back at the tomb and started thinking back to what he had seen the Professor doing. He had seen the man crouching over the tomb his face close to it, he swore it look like he was speaking to it. He also swore that the Professor had seen him when he had looked over in his direction, that is when he had changed to into a snake and slithered away. He looked back at Rose and shrugged his shoulders at her. ” I don’t know but his face was extremely close to the top of that tomb, like he might be talking to it…and I swear the guy saw me” said Sean looking at her. He knew it sounded crazy that he was talking to the tomb like he had been whispering almost to it. However; why else would he have been so close to the tomb, it made no sense to Sean. ”What do you think”asked Sean looking at Rose wondering what he theory was on what the professor was doing.

Rose's eyebrow automaticaly raised in suspicion when Sean spoke. On befalf of the Headmaster? She looked back to the tomb, then. If he was here on behaf of the Headmaster, why was he kneeling at Dumbledore's tomb? It could be likely that he perhaps knew the man when he was alive, but then if he didn't... what was his reasoning for being down here so early in the morning? "I sure don't trust snakes either," Rose said, turning back to Sean. "I wonder if the Headmaster knows he was down here..." she pondered. For some reason, Rose couldn't picture Professor Burt ever doing anything cruel or mean. He had never struck her as that type of person.

The dark haired Ravenclaw turned back to face Sean, an eyebrow raised sarcastically at him in response to his own sarcastic tone. "If you must know, Owens," she said, a little heavily. It was the same tone her mother had aways had when she was younger. Rose was nearly a carbon copy of her lovely mother. "I saw someone leaving the common room and I got a little suspicious." She shrugged then. "You can't blame me, what with all that's gone on. For all I know you could have been the murderer on your way to kill another student," she said simply. Rose looked back at Sean, wishing she could know what he was thinking as he looked back at her in return. She shook her head, focusing on the topic at hand. "It's all very suspicious to me... I don't believe I trust our new Transfiguration professor, that is fore certain." Once again, Rose turned to gaze on at the tomb, wondering what on Earth the man could have being doing to it.

His eyes looked at Rose and he couldn’t help but, roll his eyes to what Rose said wondering if the “Headmaster knew the Professor was down here”. As far as Sean saw he believed that the Headmaster probably knew a lot about his friend, he had seen the guy leaving his office a few times more than any other Professor he had seen ever visiting a Headmaster’s office in his school years. Plus Sean had a sort of bias, his unfortunate family had told him many stories of Burt Wick Reynolds and how he was a man people did not want to piss off. They said he only fought on a side that gave him what he wants, and for now that was the side of Law and Order. He was a good Head Auror but, he always does climb the ladder thought Sean as he thought about the guy’s career and the book he read that he wrote on himself. What could you say Sean was sometimes a bookworm? ”Sorry Rose but, I think they are really god friends and our Headmaster isn’t made of sugar, spice, and everything nice either”said Sean giving a little smirk. He was glad to hear that she didn’t trust snakes either, and even through the Headmaster use to be a Ravenclaw he considered him just like a snake.

He gave a huge root of laughter at her explanation on why he had started to follow her. Rolling his eyes once again, he gave her a slight grin of “you’re funny” look. ”Come on really? You think the killer is here in the Ravenclaw house? Sorry I am way to good looking, charming, inteigllient, and just overall better then to be able to be a killer” he said with a huge grin and a slight chuckle to what he said. His eyes looked from her and back to the tomb as she said she didn’t trust the new Transfiguration Professor, his mind still trying to rack what he was trying to do. A spell maybe? The guy did travel a lot he apparently learned some advanced stuff thought Sean, he turned back to look at Rose once more. ”Same here, I wonder if the guy was trying to cast some spell? I mean he apparently has travelled a lot look at the photos in his classroom” spoke Sean, his eyes returned back to the tomb in front of him, wondering what the Professor could have been up too.

Rose's brows furrowed in suspicion at Sean for his accusation. Rose had personally always liked the Headmaster, even back when he was a Transfiguration professor. This new professor seemed oddly suspicious indeed, but for some reason Rose couldn't believe the Headmaster was behind these suspicions as well. She looked at the Head Boy skeptically. "How could you possibly know that?" She asked, folding her arms across her chest.

When Sean laughed out loud, Rose looked back at him with her eyes slightly wide. Her eyes narrowed at the look he gave her but the corner of her mouth twitched in a smile. Rose shrugged defensively, standing by her opinion. "If the killer is a student, who is to say it can't be from any of the houses? What if it's a Hufflepuff?" She asked, rhetorically. Although the thought of an evil Hufflepuff running around and killing innocent girls on the train was quite humorous. Rose just rolled her eyes at Sean's saying he was "too charming and intelligent to be a killer."

Rose turned back to the tomb. "But what kind of spell could he possibly be trying to cast?" She said aloud. Rose was very intelligent when it came to books and spells, and she couldn't think of any sort of spell that made sense enough that this man could have been casting, even if he had traveled all around the world. To Rose, nothing was really adding up.

His eyes darted back from the White tomb to Rose now who had asked him “and how would you possibly know that”. It was a question directed at him because he had said that the Headmaster was not made of sugar, spice, and everything nice. He gave a little grin as he watched her cross her arms across her chest when she asked him about it. She’s so cute when she does that thought Sean as he tried not to laugh at her while she crossed her arms. Come on she is smarter than this thought Sean really wondering if she never looked into the old man at all. ”Well I read up on the guy and not everything you hear is great, don’t get me wrong accomplished Head Auror but he has a long career in the Ministry and it ain’t perfect…plus my bias family always had said something to say about him” commented Sean as he kept looking at her. He remembered his aunt telling him how the man was known to be power hungry and that he was not one to cross.

He gave a roar of laughter when she tried to say that the killer might be a Hufflepuff if it was a student. He stopped laughing but was still chuckling and having a huge grin on his face while he looked at Rose. The thought of a killer Hufflepuff was to funny indeed, if there was a killer Hufflepuff on the loose he expected Slytherins to be the first ones being killed. ”If it’s a student? You know you could be right maybe the Headmaster is the one behind it” said Sean giving a little eye roll and smile to Rose, knowing it would probably get on her nerves for what she said. ”I expect Hufflepuff killers to be a big ball of fuss that kills Slytherins by hugging them to death”said Sean giving another laugh picturing a ball of fuss, smothering a Slytherin to death. His eyes turned from Rose now and to the tomb when he saw her look over at it. He was wondering exactly what she was wondering, what kind of spell was the Professor trying to perform. Nothing can bring back the dead…not even spells in other countries thought Sean completely confused on what the man might be doing. ”My grandfather Ian, used to perform dark rituals and spells in front of me when I was little…nothing I’ve ever learned here or seen in books in the library. Maybe our Transfiguration professor is attempting something like that…who knows what the man knows” said Sean he had looked down to the ground when he mentioned his grandfather, the man who wanted him dead more than anyone else.

Rose was never closed to other opinions. While she was the bossy type, Rose was very open to the ideas and opinions of other people. So as Sean spoke, Rose found herself relaxing a bit in her sound opinion of the Headmaster. Her arms relaxed more down to her sides. She looked curiously at Sean now, realizing how little she really knew about him other than his being on the Quidditch team and Head Boy. (She decided to lead out the ladie's man part.) "Well... What did your family always say about him?" She asked.

Rose's eyes narrowed into a glare at Sean. She stuck her nose up into the air, then, as she crossed her arms in front of her chest again. "You shouldn't say that, ya know," she said matter-of-factly. "Hufflepuffs can be tough, too, ya know." She looked back at him, unwavering this time in her opinion. "And I suspect if it is a badger, you will be next." She pointed her index finger at him threateningly in a light, joking matter.

When Sean mentioned his grandfather, Rose's eyes went from the tomb immediately over to Sean. Her brow furrowed in almost a surprised and concerned sort of fashion as she listened to him. Rose had barely heard anything after Sean's mentioning of his grandfather performing dark spells in front of him. She noticed, that after he spoke, Sean looked down at the ground. There was something in the look on his face that concerned Rose enough to change topics. "Where is your grandfather now?" She asked, bluntly. Her tone wasn't pushy or forceful, but she also wasn't soft in her asking either.

@sean

[Deleted]

He watched as she kind of relaxed her arms and asked him what his family always said about the Headmaster. He gave almost a kind of snorted laughter, of course his family the ever loving supporters of Voldemort and pure blood extremes was very biased. However; some of the stuff they said did ring some truth to it at least Sean suspected their might be truth to some claims. ”Well remember my family is nothing….I disown them all but, they have said he’s blackmailed people, ruined their life’s, maybe even killed all to advance his career and power. The man is on record of very much of wanting the position of Minister” said Sean, he had read the man’s auto-biography where the man had wrote he admired the power and influence of the Minister for Magic. Politics is ruthless but, they said he made it a new game of politics, much more ruthless and even lethal thought Sean he shook his head. He looked back at her and watched her cross her arms once again when he mentioned the Headmaster could be the killer, he kind of gave her a glance as”they said it not me” look.

He tried not to laugh as she pointed her index finger at him in a joking threatening way saying if the killer was a Hufflepuff he might be next. He grinned at her and started to laugh and just looked up in the sky and kept laughing. He looked back to her and just gave her a nice smile, she was funny and he loved it how she could be so bossy. ”Please their going to have a hard time taking me down!” exclaimed Sean standing up flexing his muscles and putting off a show in a jokingly way and then sat back down near Rose and started to chuckle. He looked over to the tomb and then back to her, kind of in a surprised look when she asked in a blunt way where his grandfather was. He wasn’t surprised by her tone rather, more asking where he was. He was under the impression Rose knew who his grandfather was; most kids did because they had heard about Sean’s attack in his fifth year which his grandpa arranged while in his prison cell. ”Azkaban, my grandfather is unfortunately Ian Olethrus Owens, he killed the family of Reynolds…he helped Voldemort both times around. The guy killed my parents when I was five because he was afraid they would snitch to the Aurors, hopefully he never gets out”said Sean he took a few gulps while speaking, there was more about his grandfather. He killed the former Minister Rufus Scrimegour, and other people even an eight month old baby girl from what he had read in the case file. He waited what Rose would say, his eyes looking at her waiting to see her reaction.

Rose really didn't know much about Sean's family at all. Other than he was different than the rest of them. That had been a thing she had heard about the Head Boy by some whispering Slytherins one time in the library. She had suspected they had gotten into some trouble by Sean and they were just bad mouthing him. She had never thought anything else of it, though. Rose's eyes widened slightly as Sean spoke. It was hard to hear, these claims about the Headmaster. To Rose, a Headmaster of a school should never do those sort of things. To hear even rumors about such things were unthinkable.

Rose shook her head, closing her eyes as if to push such thoughts away. She stopped and looked at Sean for a moment. "D'you really think the board would let such a person with those kind of rumors flying around them be Headmaster?" She asked him, seriously. Rose was all for politics. She often got into little arguments with her father, an Auror, about the school boards and Ministry. While she never wanted any part of them, she liked discussing them.

As Sean laughed, Rose couldn't help but roll her eyes at the boy. She looked back at him the same moment he looked back at her. Without really thinking, she returned the same kind of smile. "I doubt that," she said with raised eyes as he stood up to flex his muscles. Rose had to admit the gesture was still a little funny. She bit her bottom lip as her mouth curved in a little bit of a smile, obviously trying not to laugh.

Rose could remember when Sean had been attacked, but back then she hardly knew him. She was a fourth year and he had just been a housemate to her back then. She hadn't really known all of the details of the attack, either. As Sean spoke, Rose watched him. She was careful not to widen her eyes in shock, though that was all that she was feeling. She didn't want him to think she pitied him or something, for most people never wanted pity. She wasn't sure if Sean was like that. But it definitely surprised her to hear all that he was telling her. Rose met Sean's eyes after he finished speaking. Rose was never one to just sit and listen and just say "sorry" when someone told her something unfortunate. She felt there was something else that Sean wasn't telling her. Call it woman's intuition, but she felt there was more to the story. "Is that all?" She asked, seriously. Her eyes were stern and unwavering as she waited for his reply as well.

He gave a little chuckle to what Rose said next, what she was saying you think would be honestly true. However; from what it seemed like and according to the Spotlight Weekly by Alyssa Nightingale seemed to suggest that the old man had the entire board wrapped around his fingers or yet, the Avyanna lady at the Ministry. He truly hoped that the board of governors, those trusted to oversee the running of the school and its Headmaster would not let such a man with rumors becoming the Headmaster but, it was so obvious. The man had only been a professor for five years, never was Head of House or even held the position of Deputy Headmaster. How else did he become the Headmaster? ”You’ll be amazed what people can get away with it, when they have influence over people. How else did he get the job? Professor of five years all of sudden at beginning of a new year at Hogwarts becomes the Headmaster, skipping others with more experience”said Sean as he spoke it seemed to all make more sense to him. He looked around just to make sure the old man Headmaster wasn’t hiding in a bush somewhere or worse that their snake of a professor had slithered back toward them. However he saw no one, it was still early and not really anyone was on the grounds at all, he could see a few people flying in the Qudditich field.

He gave a small smile and laugh when he saw Rose was biting her bottom lip trying to not laugh at him, he rolled his eyes at her response in a joking way. Maybe I’m getting somewherethought Sean, normally he had no problem getting a girl to be interested in him. However, Rose was no ordinary girl she was a lot smarter than most and Sean really had to work at it on charming her, which he didn’t mind. He did like a challenge. His eyes moved over to the tomb as the subject was going towards Ian once more, she had asked if that was everything. No it wasn’t, not even all the way close to it. The murders he had committed were evil and struck fear in people’s hearts however, the fact he worked in the Ministry and deceived them for four decades was just terrifying. ”He killed Minister Rufus Scrimegour the night the Ministry fell, for four decades Ian worked in the Ministry and stole information for Voldemort. He was both Scrimegour and Minister’s fudge closest adviser and personal bodyguard. He doesn’t envision what Voldemort did, he just wants to see the world burn…including Hogwarts says it can’t be saved from blood traitors.” said Sean as he spoke he kept his eyes on the tomb, he hated the man who was related to him. He turned over to her and looked at her, hoping she was not going to run away knowing who he was truly related to. Yes, the Owens family had history of dark arts and death eaters but, Ian made them look like little cupcakes compared to him. ”He killed Aurors, including an eight month old baby of one of them…Alyssa Nightingale the lady who runs the Daily Prophet, it was her daughter he killed. Her other daughter goes here, they were twins I suppose.”said Sean as he waited to her Rose response.

Rose watched Sean with one eyebrow raised, intrigued with what he was saying. She hadn't considered how Professor Reynolds had been promoted to Headmaster without any such experience as, say, Deputy Headmaster. One thing Rose had noticed about Sean over the years, aside from his being a total ladies' man, was that Sean knew his stuff. So as Sean spoke about the headmaster, Rose's suspicions were slightly beginning to grow. And when Rose Weasley was suspicious, she often acted on those suspicions.

When it came to boys, Rose wasn't exactly easy to charm. That would explain why she had never had a real boyfriend. That wasn't to say she had never had a crush on a boy before. She certainly had. She could remember having a crush on Teddy Lupin when she was much younger, but it had been only a silly schoolgirl crush that quickly had faded with age. Most boys often thought Rose to be too bossy to deal with. But looking at her parents, she knew there was someone out there for her, too. Rose wasn't looking for some kind of arranged marriage or anything, but a part of her did long for the experiences a proper boyfriend would bring her.

Rose blinked when Sean looked at the tomb, following his eyes. Once more, she listened intently to him. At the mention of Voldemort, Rose's eyes automatically narrowed as she looked back at Sean. Rose was not at all afraid of Voldemort's name, as hardly anyone these days was, but she did hate even the thought of the old Dark Lord. He had truly caused her family a lot of grief during his reign. Rose despised all dark wizards but she didn't feel at all threatened or scared of Sean, regardless of his relations. "He is where he belongs, then," she said a little coldly. "If you ask me, all those old Death Eaters can rot in Azkaban for all I care." She folded her arms in front of her chest and put her nose up into the air indignantly.

His eyes just stared at the tomb in front of him, just feet away from him laid the final resting place of one of the greatest people in the world, and the best Headmaster the school had seen, from everything he heard. Adding everything he read about Dumbledore to what he heard, the man was one who most dark wizards feared, even Voldemort the fallen dark lord. Maybe his grandfather had feared this man as well when he was still alive, Sean wasn’t sure what his grandfather truly feared. A society where muggle borns ruled and pure-bloods were almost all gone? That was a possible fear for the sick man Sean thought. Something however haunted Sean at the back of his mind, something that had always haunted him when talking about his grandfather. The very possibility that his blood ran in his own blood, and so did the rest of his families, all of the dark arts lovers, it presented a chance that Sean could be them one day. He didn’t really think he could ever kill someone let alone, really want to learn about the dark arts in any more way then he needed to. He wanted to be an Auror, to fight evil, to capture those dark wizards and put them away.

He shook his head when Rose spoke, he disagreed with part of what she said, the thought that Ian is where he belonged. Maybe in one argument you could argue that to Sean that his grandfather belonged in Azkaban for everything he did, he did break the law and that was punishment being sent to prison. However; for Ian he felt there was a special circumstance, that he was never safe nor would anyone close to him be until the man supposed to be the sweet grandpa was in the ground dead. ”He doesn’t deserve Azkaban he deserves death, anything else is too good for the man”said Sean calmly without moving his eyes from the tomb. There was no sad feelings when he spoke how he felt, he didn’t feel bad wishing for the man to be dead it was just a complete natural feeling and thought to him now. ”You know I still get nightmares from when he watched me as a kid. Let’s just say he wanted me to get know dark arts very early” spoke Sean never really telling someone about the nightmares unless they confronted him on it.

Closing his eyes for a second he looked to the ground and took a deep breath, as he held down all of his emotions that built inside of him. Anger at losing his parents so young, sadness to those that Ian killed and ruined families, tearing them apart. Exhaling he turned around and looked at Rose now, his eyes open and looked as if he been perfectly fine the entire time. ”So you’re not running away from all that, my good looks that powerful? It’s cool I get that a lot” said Sean with a laugh and a little grin trying to lighten the mood once more.
