[Frank Longbottom]

frank walked past the rumor wall then stopped. he looked back and realized he had something to say. "hmm. . " he said before smirking and pulling out his wand. "she`ll never see it coming." he said as he wrote:

PRUDE: a person who is described as being uncomfortable with sexuality, nudity, alcohol, drug use or mischief; someone who spends all their time in the library but never looks up anything that could help them have a social life.
for example see Miss Rosie Weasley.

[Rosie Weasley]

It has just not been my week, Rose Weasley realized with a sigh. And it seemed to all start with that bet she made with her cousin Lily. She had thought it a good idea at the time...a week without her going into the library and with declaring that freeing the house-elves was a 'ridiculous idea', and Lily had promised to help her campaign for the house-elves' rights.

The bet had turned out to be complete torture. Earlier, Rosie had learned a new spell in her Charms class, and had anticipated running to search through the bookshelves to learn more about it. Unfortunately, she had remembered just before she stepped foot in the library that she was not allowed in it. She quickly pivoted in the opposite direction, and had then continued her day. After dinner, she had raced to her dormitory, hoping one of her many books would be informative, but soon found that she had yet to buy that certain reading. Perhaps on the next trip to Hogsmeade, she would.

Deciding that as there was nothing else for her to do, she would pay a visit to the Rumor Wall, Rose climbed up to the fifth floor. She was curious about what her two cousins had cooked up about their big brother this time. James Sirius was certainly fun to tease, but after discovering what exactly had occurred at the last ball he attended, she felt bad for her cousin. She would refrain from adding to the rumor that Remus-James had overheard from her in the first place...for now.

Rosie scanned the Rumor Wall's contents. Too much of it was about either the Weasleys or the Potters--mostly the Potters. Perhaps a Malfoy should have a rumor written about him for once...the disgusting git Scorpius Hyperion, for instance. Lily had insisted she could handle his teasing her about liking him on her own, but being the protective older cousin that she was, she would not stop until her mother's former archrival's son left her cousin alone.

Glancing at a freshly written portion of the Rumor Wall, Rosie's jaw dropped. "So I am a prude, am I?" she muttered. "How about a person just wants to be single, and then gets left alone about it for once?" She got enough teasing from her younger brother, after all. Hugo constantly insisted that Rose was not "datable" for the mere fact that she was an "old windbag who would rather bury herself in a book than have a life." Which was exactly what Frank Longbottom had just summarized.

Rosie had regretted every word she had said to her honorary uncle's son the previous night. No one appreciated being called a creep, after all, or told to leave the room. Then again, who liked being snogged twice in a row, two nights in a row, by a boy she had just met--or, had met again? True, Rosie's family counted Neville Longbottom as one of their own, but the man had never really brought his children around to the Granger-Weasley household. Rose had not seen Frank Longbottom since her brother's seventh birthday party, which meant exactly seven years. They had both changed since then, so what made him think after meeting again that he could just run up and snog her?

Oh, but this? This was just infuriating. To think that that Longbottom boy had not only graffitied the school, but had modified a common definition by using her as an example...Rosie immediately began plotting. Having grown up with her Uncle Fred and Uncle George constantly around, and having had them teach her the ropes of pranking at a very early age--regardless of her mother's protests--...not to mention just being a Weasley in the first place, Rosie was always up for a good prank. And after what Frank Longbottom had posted, Rosie would be sure to get him back for it. She would get him back good.

Planning a prank would take a while, however, so getting him back would have to just start with this wall here. The question was what to put.

After having confided in Alby about what Frank had done, her closest cousin had told her to just call the guy an emo. Rosie, however, had automatically turned the idea down. She did not want to be rude; after all, she had kind of been mean to him in the first place. She just wanted to get him back. And all she could think of for a rumor right now was...

Frank Alexzander Longbottom the II is a player who goes after anything in a skirt.

It was not an amazing little rumor as the Marauders were famous for, or even Alby and Lily, but it was a start. Now to begin Plan B.
