Harry Potter: The Story of the Rose

The story of Roseanne Wells, the rose of the Wells family: a Slytherin story set during the Hogwarts era of the Marauders, with multiple male leads and separate endings for each.

“I have never been one to follow the rules. I'm just like Dekker: he shows it on the outside, while I keep it within. But I will always be the most dazzling red rose in the Wells family.”

Roseanne Wells

“My sister is always like this. She clearly thinks the same way I do, but in front of our parents she acts just like them. She always stands up for me in front of Mother, and whenever the other Pure-blood families talk about me, she speaks out. I want to stand in front of her and protect her, too.”

Dekker Wells

“Before I came to Hogwarts, I always thought I saw her as nothing more than a rare confidante. But after meeting James and the Gryffindors, I realized my feelings were different.”

Sirius Black

“Roseanne is the gentlest girl I've ever met. She has practically no flaws. Even Sirius likes her. She looks beautiful shining on the Quidditch Match field.”

Regulus Black

“She's an interesting girl, but she doesn't seem to want to get close to me, a Malfoy. She has the sort of looks that rarely meet a Malfoy's standards, though her taste seems questionable. She actually let that idiot Rabastan call her by her first name, while making me call her by her surname! But why would a Malfoy listen to her?”

Lucius Malfoy

“She gets along well with Black from the Marauders, but she never goes easy on him when I'm being bullied. She... is good at potions. She's worth talking to.”

Severus Snape

“Um, her hair is a little redder than Lily's, and she gets along well with Lily, too. She's the girl Padfoot has had a crush on since childhood. She's pretty good at Quidditch, just a little worse than me. Oh, Lily once said she wanted Roseanne to be the godmother of our future kids! She's a Slytherin, but all in all, she's pretty great.”

James Potter

“She is simply the best girl I've ever met. I really like her! She's the best Slytherin I've ever met! She's interested in all kinds of Muggle knowledge! Lots of people like her, and I'm one of them. I'm definitely going to ask her to be my child's godmother!”

Lily Evans

“She is lovely and gentle, but I know I'm not worthy of her.”

Remus Lupin

“My husband loves her, but I'm not jealous. We're even good friends. I've done what a Black is meant to do, so I don't need to worry about all that.”

Narcissa Black

“The Wells family's red rose? She'd be better as the Dark Lord's red rose. Putting my name before hers is a sight that pleases me.”

Tom Riddle
