Harry looks over to her "Why didn't you just let me deal with him I wouldn't have hurt him."

"Because I am not going to allow you to start fighting. You would only loose points and have a very annoyed mutate after your rear end." Rose answers, "He may not admit it but he does want real friends, he wants to be liked because of who he is, not what his parents want him to be, I have met his father and his father is a coward, he shivers each and every time he sees me."

"Umm Rose, most people would do that the first time they ever met you."

"More like he knows I could fry him from hair to toes before he can even draw his wand." Rose replies

Harry just laughs and gets back to his excise with Rose watching him.

Rose seen out of the corner of her eyes that Snape was watching them. He watched them with a sneer on his face as Harry finished doing some flips and handstands.

"Go take a bath, you smell like you been in a dumpster." Rose states, as she watched Harry run off. "Does he really seem like his father?"

"Maybe around you he doesn't act that way but in class he's just as arrogant as his father always seeking to be the center of attention with his classmates. "

"You're reaching Severus. You wish to hate him, but you can see Lily in him just as much as I do." Rose replies

"You have no idea what you speak of any way, the boy is still to big for his britches. " with that, he turns and sweeps out of the yard.

"How does it feel, Severus, knowing she chose someone else over you?" Rose questions

Turning to look at Rose he sighs "You already know the answer to your question why ask."

"Because after all these years, you are still kicking your own arse. You called her a mudblood." Rose replies, "I may not have been the best sister but I had all of her letters."

"We all must live with our choices some more than others." As he place a hand unconsciously on his arm.

"Then do not treat my nephew as if he were his father. He is not." Rose replies

"Hmf, we'll see I'll hold my judgment till then." With that he left the courtyard he back slumped in thought.

Rose walked back to her room, she fell onto the couch.

The next day, Harry was in the quidditch pitch with the rest of the team to practice for their next match Ron was there as well to watch them as was Hermione.

Rose was just flying for the sheer thrill of it.

The team saw her and Oliver wave to her trying to get her to come down.

Rose seen them, she tucked her wings and dove as she was about to hit the ground her wings spread out and she soared upward.

Oliver went over to her "Ms. Rose, Harry was telling us about how well you and your clan can fly and i was wondering if you can show us if its not to much trouble of course?"

"I just did." Rose responds

"Well we're kinda hoping you can show us more, see we're trying to come up with some new moves to use during our next match before winter break."

"Nothing really that I can show you, since I don't fly on a broom." Rose responds, as she hovered in midair.

"Very well still could practice with potter to see how well he can be against a snitch."

Harry was shaking his head no eyes wide in fear.

Rose fired a low level electric current at Harry. "Bet ya, can't catch me?"

Harry quickly jumped in on his broom and glared at the team leader "You just had to ask her." And took off after Rose.

Rose watched one game and knew what the Snitch did, so she copied never staying in one place.

Harry chased her flying over the field getting close for only her to drop just out of reach.

"I haven't had this much fun since Fang tried to take over the Labyrinth." Rose laughed as she weaved her way through the stands.

In the ten minutes of their flight, Harry was laughing as he tagged her once more.

"Only you would think someone trying to take over our home would be fun." Harry said as he tagged her once more and flew past sticking his tongue at her.

Little did either of them know a crowd gathered in the pitch watching them play.

"Kicking his butt was fun." Rose replies, her eyes sparkled as she went in for a landing.

Harry followed her only to see the large crowd waiting for them.

"What?" Rose questions, as she crouched down, sitting almost like a feline. Her mouth slightly opened as she panted.

"Bloody hell Rose that was some flying you two did I never saw moves like that even at the professional games." Oliver said his eyes wide.

Rose shrugged "I have large wings, might as well use them."

"But how are you able to maneuver that way it was amazing. "

"I have no clue, I am part cheetah, part bat, with the electric current of an eel." Rose replies, "and practice."

"Some of the girls were gathered around Harry complaining on his flying the boy looked like he was ready to run away.

Rose leaps to her nephew's defense. "Shoo, you girls are worse then gnats, shoo."

The girls backed away leaving Harry to breathe a sigh of relief. "Thanks Rose for a second there i was afraid they were gonna mob me."

"You are very welcome." Rose purred

Harry hugs her then wrinkles his nose "I'm done i really smell like a dumpster now." He head off to the locker room his broom draped across his shoulders.

Rose chuckled "The great thing about being a mutate."

The rest of the group including two of the team captains began to ask her questions the captains asking if she could train their seekers like Harry.

"I guess, I could. Just select a day to practice." Rose responds, "Gives me the excuse of exercise as well."

The captains all agree to this and began ti head off just as Harry came back "Hey Rose you know what would be great right now?"

"Half of a roast pig?" Rose questions, grinning

"No but close, some pizza from that place near the entrance to home." Harry answers

"Nah. I'd settle for meat." Rose replies

"Head to the kitchen the elves can make anything you want for you." The twins offer then tell Rose how to get there.

Rose shrugged and follow the directions, promising if they get her in trouble or worse, she would find a way to torment them.

That evening several owls flew into the Great Hall, delivering a package to Rose. She unrolled the New York Times, and read the headlines. Needless to say her drink left her mouth as she spit it out in disbelief.

Harry looks up and heads over to her "Rose what happened back home."

"That villain Xanatos had a son! Of all the creeps, that that..." She ended in a snarl.

"What he has a kid now no freaking way who in their tight mind even marry that jerk."

"Fox from the Pack." Rose answers

"What! It figures he would marry an ex-con those two are a match made in hell."

"Considering he's an ex-con as well." Rose comments, as she tossed that paper into the fire torch nearest to her. She took the package and left.

Harry sat back down then turn to Hermione "Don't ask me please that man the reason why Rose is like that and why my friends had to move."

The hall was silent as they heard a loud roar. Harry was up in a bolt and running down the hall to where his aunt was. Hermione and Ron ran after Harry.

Harry found her and saw she was in a rage, he backed away from her afraid.

Hermione seen that Harry was afraid, "So she's not allow to loose control of her emotions? I would be pretty angry too."

"It's not that its the fact that i never seen her like this." He goes to move them back and leave her alone.

"Well its your own stupid fault for chasing after her." Hermione replies "I can see just how much she's holding inside, she doesn't have anyone to talk too, who could understand, and she's just choosing to lash out the only way she knows how."

"Not arguing that point 'mione, your right she does need to vent and that's why we're leaving right now."

Rose let out all the electricity in her body and fell to the ground, she sobbed, her wings wrapped around herself in a black shell.

"Rosalie, you seem a bit shaken this evening." a familiar voice states

Rose didn't answer her right away she just huffed and shrugs off the question.

"Come now, how about we get a cup of tea." the voice states again, "I've been traveling for a few nights just to see you, my friend."

Rose looks up and see it Una from the London clan with another gargoyle she didn't know "Yeah a cup of tea sounds nice Una."

The unicorn themed gargoyle smiled, as she held out her hand.

Rose took her hand and stood up.

"Hello." the brown furred small unicorn gargoyle greets.

"Hello I'm Rose and welcome to you both."

"No need to welcome us, I am very well knowledgeable about Hogwarts." Una replies

Rose smiled "Of course you are truth be told I'm surprised i haven't found and gargoyles her at the school already. But please follow me we'll have tea in my room."

"None for right now, Knight's Spur is our hatching grounds." Una replies

"Ahh i see but be the school could use some the way things are shaping up here."

Una walked into the school, "I haven't been here since the sixties."

Rose lead them through the halls every once in a while catching a professor's eyes watching them.

"What never seen a gargoyle before?" Una questions

Most shook their heads and then went about their business. They came up to the Gryffindor's tower and the fat lady was napping in her portrait.

"Wake up, dear." Una states

The woman woke with a snort and look at who woke her "Oh Rose and is that Una my stars its so nice to see you once more."

Rose gave the password, and the portrait swung open.

As rose entered the common room, she saw a few student lounging about with the trio bent over a book.

Una walked over and peered over. "Unless I am mistaken, I don't think that is a book for first years?"

The trio look up at the new voice and harry beams as he saw Una. "Lady Una, Its good to see you again." He stood and went to greet her properly.

"Gargoyles do not hold titles." Una replies

"Sorry ma'am i was shocked to see you whatare you doing here.?"

"I'm not allowed to visit old friends?" Una questions

Hermione hid book and went over to see the two gargoyles. "Of course Una and I'm glad to see you and I'm sure Rose is happy as well."

"At least, she's someone I can finally talk to you." Rose muttered "What are you reading?"

Harry looked over to his friends then nods and tells her the truth "I can't lie to you Aunt Rose It's a book of third year Defense spells and notes from Fred and George in case we need to know them."

"Give it back." Rose growled

"I would listen to your rookery mother if I were you." the younger gargoyle commented

"Lunette." Una warned

"Sorry, Una." the younger gargoyle apologizes

Harry looks over at the new gargoyle. "Umm Rose is not my mother, she's my Aunt and i was gonna do as she says."

"What's an Aunt?" Lunette questions

"She's my mother's older sister that's what an aunt is." Harry tries to explain to Lunette.

"She is still your rookery mother." Lunette replies "Someone who raises you along with your rookery siblings."

The boy looks over to Una confused as he never heard terms like those before "Umm Una what does she mean rookery siblings I don't have those do I?"

"Gargoyles raise their young as a clan, I am one of Lunette's many mothers." Una replies, "her egg was laid in Knight's Spur along with her brothers and sisters."

Harry's face suddenly took a sour look. "Does that mean Fat Dudley is my rookery brother?"

Hermione realized what the younger gargoyle was talking about. "Remember our first night here, what Professor McGonagall said to us?"

"Petunia's brat would have known as my son, if I were in his life by Gargoyle terminology." Rose answers "But since you weren't considered Clan by them, I doubt it counts."

Harry gave a sigh of relief "Thank goodness and Hermione your right, i rather have you three as my rookery sibs than almost anyone else."

"Just like Maggie the Cat is my sister." Rose replies "I've been a better sister to her then to Lily."

"And you've been a great mother to me as the rest of the clan has been my family as well."

"Lunette, why don't you explain more about gargoyle customs to your new friends, and I shall speak with Rose?" Una questions

Lunette nods and walks over to the table with the trio and began to explain more of the gargoyle customs to them.

The two adults left out the window, and went up the astronomy tower.

Once at tower, they both landed and sat at the edge. "Now rose tell me whats wrong that i found you in such a state?"

"I had a bit of a temper tantrum." Rose admitted

Una gives a soft smile "Oh really and what about/"

"The man who funded to turn me and several others into gargoyle like creatures had a child, someone to carry on his evil ways, if I know him correctly." Rose answers "and just the fact that being like that could have a son...when I don't think I can, just rubs my fur the wrong way."
