A chocolate frog from Ron

Ron with a big smile on his face send a chocolate frog candy across the table to her with a little note attached to it. The chocolate frog was a symbol of friendship in the wizarding world, something she hadn't shared in a long time. The note read, "To the Slytherin Quidditch's team future hidden star. Keep shinning - R"

Pansy rip the note away from Rose, her eyes scanning it with a frenzy. "A love letter from a Gryffindor?" she sneered, crumpling the paper into a tight ball. "How truly pathetic, Rose. I knew you wanted little Ronni wittle cock."

Rose felt the heat rise in her cheeks, but she didn't bother to argue. It wasn't worth it. She knew Pansy would do anything to get under her skin, and she wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of knowing how much her words stung. "It's not like that," she said calmly, taking a sip of her pumpkin juice. "Ron's just helping me with Quidditch."

Pansy laugh with her friends at Rose's expense, the sound of their mockery echoing in the great hall. Rose's fists clenched around her goblet, her nails digging into her palms. She knew she couldn't let them see how much it hurt. Instead, she focused on the warm chocolate frog in her hand, the sweet scent of it bringing back memories of her old life, a life that seemed so far away now.

As the meal went on, the taunts from Pansy and her group grew more frequent and biting. But each one only served to fuel the fire inside of Rose. She knew she had to keep her cool, had to stay under the radar. But it was getting harder and harder to ignore the way they were tearing her apart, piece by piece.
