Chapter 25-Hope Rosalia was in the library after all her classes ended. She was used to being alone now. But she felt someone tap her: Ariana. "Hi, Lia!" she said. "I'm sorry I've been ignoring you, but the thing is, the rumors got really twisted and there was even one that said that you were You-Know-Who's child! Anyway, I heard the one that said that you were using everyone, but now, I realized that it's impossible! Sorry!" "It's alright!" Rosalia said. "If I heard that, I would've been sad, too!" And so, the two shared their old friendship again. "Have you come up with a plan to get rid of the rumors?" asked Ariana. "No, not yet..." Rosalia sighed. "I don't think there even is!" "I'm sure there is! We just need a proper one!" "Is there some kind of spell that only kind people can do?" She thought for a bit. "I better keep reading for that." she said. "OK," replied Ariana. "I need to get to Potions class. See you!" *** Things were improving. Her friends were coming back to her. In fact, Rosalia was wrong when she thought that all her friends believed the rumors; some of them didn't. The only problem she had now was to convince the rest of the students that she wasn't evil. People glared at her as she walked by, making her uncomfortable, but she was OK with it because she had her friends. "I finally found hope!" she told Ariana one day. "If I can master the Patronus Charm, it'll prove that I'm not evil!" "But..." Ariana said. "Isn't it above Ordinary Wizarding Level?" "Yes," Rosalia said, her toes bouncing up and down in excitement, "but I don't mind a bit of a challenge!" She ran off to her dorm and drew her wand out. "Expecto Patronum!" nothing shot out. "Oh, right," she mumbled. "I need to think of a happy memory!" She thought of the time she went to an amusement park as a six-year-old. "Expecto Patronum!" this time, a small wisp of slivery gas shot out. "We're getting there!" "Expecto Patronum!" the same result. After a bunch of tries, she decided to continue later. That night, she lay on her bed, thinking, "I'll be able to clear my name soon!"
