Chapter 19

It was a beautiful day the day of the last Quidditch Match, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. Currently it was 200 to 20, Slytherin.

"Look at Potter, her broom the best on the line, is currently zooming around at an amazing speed. I thinks she spotted the snitch but sadly the Gryffindor Seeker is not at all at her level but still trying to fallow. Potter goes into a dive, will she catch the snitch or will she pull out before? Ladies and gentlemen she is not pulling out of the dive, no what she just did, inches from the ground Rowena pulls out of the most spectacular dive I have ever seen but what there's more, Rowena Potter has caught the snitch! Slytherin wins the house cup!" Shouted the announcer and suddenly Slytherin broke into cheers while the Slytherin Quidditch team tackled Rowena, broad grins on their faces.

As the group landed Rowena was pulled put over her Captains shoulders and they started to cheer while Rowena laughed with joy.

"That was bloody amazing Rowena!" Ron shouted as he and the others ran over to them. She gave him a blinding, joyful smile.

"We won guys!" She squealed and making them laugh.

...

It was the first time Rowena, Hermione and Ron had ever been in Slytherin common room. It was slightly cold but still filled with warmth as the party went one. Rowena had been shocked to see Professor Snape come in for a few hours to enjoy the party, he seemed very happy with them for winning.

She was right now sitting in a corner smiling softly. She was tired right now, doing that catch had taken something from her and right now all she really wanted to do was watch and enjoy.

"Miss Potter is something wrong?" Asked her Head of House as he approached her.

"No Professor nothing, I'm just tired so I decided to watch. You learn a lot of things by watching." She answered making him frown.

"Perhaps you should go to bed if you are tired, it is quite late, one in the morning to be precise." He stated while taking a sit beside her.

"I know Professor but I don't think I could sleep yet." She answered.

"I see." He whispered then turned to the students. A haft an hour latter he felt something against his arm and looked down to see Rowena asleep.

Snorting in amusement he stood and gently picked her up. She cuddled right into his chest and he smiled softly before leaving the common room. He arrived in the trio's room to find Hermione and Ron already asleep in their beds. Softly he put Rowena down before changing her clothes with a waive of his wand. After that he pulled the blanket over her and looked down. She looked so peaceful sleeping there.

...

The Great Hall was packed with cheerful, loud students as the end of the year feast. The Great Hall was decorated with Silver and Green, the banner of Slytherin hanging proudly. The Slytherins were all talking with excitement and were dressed in their house colours. Rowena sat at her seat talking excitedly with Blaise.

Suddenly the Headmaster stood and silence fell around the hall.

"Another year gone! But as I look at all of you here tonight, I cannot help but smile. Now let us began with the house cup. For another year Slytherin house brings in the House Cup!" He stated and with that statement Slytherin cheered. "Yes, yes congratulation now let the feast began."

Suddenly food appeared and conversation erupted around the hall.

"So Rowena why did Professor Snape call you today before the feast?" Blaise asked as he started to eat his chicken.

"Actually it's a surprise so you'll have to wait till tomorrow." She said making him pout.

"But Row!" He whined making her giggle.

"No need to whine Blaise you'll be told tomorrow and it's final." She said before started to eat her beef.

"I can't believe your actually going to keep this from me. I know Ron and Hermione know." He whined yet she ignored him and started to talk with Hermione who was grinning. "Evil witches."

At the end of the feast everybody went to their rooms and who ever hadn't packed, finished. Since Ron, Hermione and Rowena were done they went to the Founder's portraits and spoke with them until bed time.

As morning came the student's all gathered on the Platform. The group of six first year Slytherin's all found a compartment to themselves. When they were all settled, Blaise asked about Rowena's secret once again but all she did with give him a smile and started to play exploding snap with Ron. The trip to London was filled with explosion's and laughter from the the group. Everything was going great until they arrived in London and the realization that they may not see each other till next year set in.

Getting off the train the group all embraced tightly, Hermione and Daphne sniffled softly while Rowena hugged Blaise who hugged her.

"Let's go our parents are probably waiting." Draco said and together they left the Platform. Arriving in muggle London they were met by all their parents. The Weasley family seemed to be separated from the others though with the exception of Arthur Weasley who was speaking softly with Mr. Zabini.

"Ron!" Came a squeal making Ron brighten as his Sister ran towards him and jumped into his arms. He caught her and swirled her around while laughing softly.

"It's great to see you Ginny!" He exclaimed making her smile. "Guys meet my little sister, Ginny. Ginny meet my friends, this is Hermione Granger." He presented.

"Nice to meet you." Ginny said brightly.

"This is Daphne Greengrass."

"Hi." She said with a waive.

"Draco Malfoy."

"Is your hair really so pale?" She asked curiously.

"Yes it is." He answered with a chuckle.

"Blaise Zabini."

"Hi!" She chirped.

"Finally Rowena Potter." he finished.

"Oh wow your eyes are beautiful." she whispered amazed.

"Thanks I like your hair. My mother had red hair." She said while giving her a smile.

"Ginny come over here this instant." Came a female voice everybody recognized as Molly Weasleys.

"Mom, Ron's introducing me to his friends." She cried back.

"Molly leave them alone." Arthur stated.

"Good luck mate." Draco state as he clapped his friends shoulder.

"Thanks, I at least have Gin and dad on my side." He said with a weak smile. Then he turned and walked to his father who smiled softly at him.

"Hermione!" Came a squeal making Hermione wince, still she was embraced by a young woman with crazy brown hair.

"Hi." She whispered softly.

Soon she was pulled away leaving Rowena, Draco, Daphne and Blaise.

"Draco!" Came Narcissia's cry of joy causing Draco to grin. Swiftly she pulled him into a hug. After him she hugged Rowena, Blaise and Daphne. "How are you dear?" She asked.

"Fine mother." he answered with a smooth smile.

"Daphne darling!" Came another voice and everybody turned to see the Greengrass' running over to embrace their daughter.

"Momma!" Daphne cried as she embrace her mother.

"Mom, dad!" Blaise shouted as the Zabini's walked towards them.

"Blaise!" Lady Zabini said brightly as she hugged her son, then she hugged Rowena who hugged her back.

"Mom we can't leave. Rowena's guardiens haven't come to pick her up yet." He said making Rowena giggle.

"You didn't tell him did you." Lord Zabini stated with a small smile.

"Nope." She answered making Blaise blink. "Remember that secret I told you I would tell you about today. Well the secret is that I'm going to be spending the summer with you. You're parents were willing to let me into your home." She said making Blaise's eyes grow wide.

"Really? Is she really coming with us?" He asked.

"Yes she is." Lady Zabini said and with a shout of joy Blaise tackled Rowena and hugged her tightly.

"This is going to be the best summer ever!" Blaise whispered into her ear making her smile.

"I completely agree." She whispered back.

"We also spoke with everybody's parents, they have agreed to let them come over as well." Lord Zabini said making them smile brightly.

"Let's go you two. Rowena still has to set up her room." Lady Zabini stated and together they left.

...

Rowena looked up at Zabini Mansion. It was just as she remembered with the exception being the surroundings. The last time she was hear it had been winter, now it was summer and all sorts of flowers were everywhere. It was beautiful. Walking inside she smiled softly.

"I will bring you to your room Rowena." Lady Zabini stated with a soft smile.

Fallowing the woman of the house up the stairs. The arrived in a wing that Rowena didn't remember. It wasn't were the room she had used during Christmas was.

"Mrs. Zabini that room I used at Christmas isn't in this hallway." She whispered softly.

"Of course not dear, those are for guest. You are no guest but family." Lady Zabini stated making Rowena blush deeply.

Suddenly they stopped in front of double doors and swiftly Lady Zabini opened them. Hesitantly Rowena walked in and what met her eyes was amazing. The room was large, extremely large. The floor was dark hard wood while the walls were a soft purple. There was a bed against one wall, it was a large four poster with beautiful white curtains all around. The blanket was white and the pillows were white with some purple ones. Suddenly she spotted two more double doors that were opened and lead to a beautiful balcony. There were bookshelves on one wall and another door.

"What do you think?" Lady Zabini asked a nervous air around her.

"It's amazing." She whispered while looking around.

Smiling brightly Lady Zabini swiftly walked to the door in the bedroom and opened it.

"This is your walk in closet with your own bathroom connected." She stated then noticed that Rowena was on the balcony.

Walking over to the double doors she smiled softly as she saw Rowena looked out with amazed eyes.

"Blaise did say you liked balconies. That's why we thought this room would be good for you." She whispered while stepping forward.

"It's amazing, thank you Lady Zabini." She whispered.

"Well dear if you need any help, all you have to do is call a house elf. Also I must insist you call me Cassandra, you will be living with us and Lady Zabini is a little to formal." The woman stated.

"If you say so." She whispered softly.

"Finally this is your home." Cassandra whispered while giving her a hug.

After that Cassandra left leaving Rowena by herself. Slowly she started to unpack. She put her books on her shelf, then her stuffed animal on the bed. After that she put all her clothes into her closet.

Finally finished she climbed onto her bed and let a smile form on her lips. She was home.
