Gryffindor, Girls' Dormitory.
Lying on her stomach, Rose looked at Hermione changing and spoke in a low tone, "Mione, I still haven't thought of a way to separate Asterion and Daphne."
Pulling her skirt up to her waist, Hermione adjusted it and rolled her eyes at her best friend's words. It had been a month, and Rose was still thinking of a brilliant way to separate the king and queen of Slytherin.
"I've already told you, it's impossible to separate those two," she replied, buttoning up her blouse and covering her white lace bra.
"Honestly, I don't see you being able to separate them." Picking up a brush and starting to comb her hair, Hermione looked at Rose through the reflection in the mirror and answered in a resigned voice.
"Separate, separate, separate." Rose turned over and let her head hang off the edge of the bed, murmuring the word repeatedly, ignoring her best friend's pessimistic remarks.
Images of Daphne and Asterion appeared in her mind. It wasn't once or twice that she found herself thinking about those two. Especially this past month, she used every moment her brain had to calculate a situation capable of separating them.
But all the scenarios involved Daphne betraying Asterion, something she considered impossible and so low that Rose didn't want to orchestrate it. She definitely wouldn't stoop that low.
At the same time, Rose couldn't help but reflect on what she felt for Asterion. They were definitely not feelings she should have for a cousin. For the first time, she understood why her ancestors were so incestuous. It seemed to be in her blood.
Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind.
"If I can't beat them, why not join them?"
She would have a handsome and powerful boyfriend from an extremely influential family in England, as well as a beautiful and powerful girlfriend.
The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became. She wouldn't lose anything if she thought about it carefully; on the contrary, she would gain a lot according to what she learned from Dumbledore.
If this were a Chinese novel and Dumbledore knew Rose used his teachings for something like this, he would have spat blood seeing her date her faction's enemies.
As for dating a girl, in her eyes, that wasn't a problem. She had a very open mind. Boys and girls had the same charm in her eyes.
But Rose knew she couldn't start with Asterion; he would reject her immediately, and that wasn't good. So, she had to start with Daphne! Rose didn't believe she couldn't seduce that blonde snake!
"Mione, I've decided." Rose got up from the bed and spoke loudly. "I'm going to seduce Daphne, and together, we'll make Asterion accept us both!"
Hermione, who was applying mascara to her eyelashes, was so shocked by Rose's words that she messed up, drawing a straight black line across her eyebrow and forehead.
With wide eyes, Hermione turned and looked at her best friend in shock.
"How in Merlin's name did you come to that conclusion?!" Hermione approached Rose and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her back and forth as she shouted.
Rose, being shaken by Hermione, just laughed and responded with an arrogant look. "Because I'm incredibly smart."
Hermione simply rolled her eyes at Rose's shameless words. She let go of the white-haired girl and sighed, feeling a headache coming on.
"Didn't you hate Daphne Greengrass? And didn't you tell me you also liked girls?" Hermione asked curiously, her eyes looking at her best friend with a smile.
"Well, hate is a strong word. I felt, and still feel, jealous of her for being with Asterion, but I don't hate her. She seems like a really nice person, almost like a true queen." Rose replied, falling back onto the bed. Hermione lay down beside her.
"As for liking girls, I think I just discovered it recently. I found myself looking at other girls quite often." Rose held Hermione's hand and answered with a somewhat emotional voice.
Hermione couldn't help but look at Rose with admiration. If it were her, she wouldn't have the courage to say she liked girls so easily, especially in the magical society where the birth rate is already naturally low.
Same-sex relationships were definitely not approved of or well-regarded in the eyes of most wizards and witches.
"What will you do if Daphne doesn't like girls too?" Hermione interlaced her fingers with Rose's and asked curiously.
"She does. I caught her looking at my butt once or twice." Rose said with a smug tone. She obviously saw that Daphne found her very attractive, even if it was just physical attraction.
Both she and Daphne appreciated the beauty of each other's bodies. There were no feelings involved and probably never would be in the future.
Rose would likely see Daphne as a sister/wife in the future.
"I'll root for you, but don't get hurt if it doesn't work out." Hermione kissed Rose's cheek and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Thanks, Mione." Rose laughed arrogantly and hugged the brown-haired girl with joy.
Hermione just laughed, and the two girls began to play on the bed amidst laughter.

Daphne, walking through the corridors of Hogwarts, ignored the numerous discreet glances falling on her and walked with calm steps, her long hair flowing with her movements.
But her steps stopped the next moment, her path blocked by another person, or rather, another teenager.
Seeing those incredibly blue eyes, like stars shining in a blue sky, Daphne's eyes narrowed, and she smiled elegantly.
"Lady Potter." Daphne greeted England's third Special Grade wizard with politeness and elegance. Whether intentionally or not, she tilted her head to the side, revealing her neck and the particularly obvious red marks on her fair skin.
Rose's eyes first fell on Daphne's neck, her mind involuntarily imagining rather steamy scenes between Daphne and Asterion.
Seeing Rose's lack of reaction, Daphne's eyes reflected her internal doubts. She expected a stronger reaction than just a calm look from Rose.
But, looking at Rose and her red and gold clothing, Daphne had to admit something: Rose was incredibly beautiful. It was no wonder she was called the queen of Gryffindor.
"Any problem, Lady Potter?" Seeing Rose staring at her silently, Daphne asked, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear while smiling elegantly. Although she didn't know what was going on with Rose, she wouldn't show weakness in front of her romantic rival.
Daphne couldn't imagine, not even in her wildest dreams, that Rose was currently thinking about how to seduce her and then make her accept seducing Asterion together.
"It's nothing, see you later, Daphne." Rose said nothing more, smiling as she walked past a completely confused Daphne.
Daphne turned and looked at Rose's back with doubt, but her eyes unconsciously lowered, observing her skirt swaying purposefully with the white-haired girl's movements.
The eldest daughter of the Greengrass House shook her head, pushing those intrusive thoughts away, and continued walking.
"Strange..." Daphne murmured to herself, feeling that the whole encounter with Rose was strange, but stranger than usual.
-------
Author's Thoughts: As I said before, although it is not a Harem there will be two female protagonists, Daphne and Rose. The romance will be gradual, but expect some more developments like this.
Before some of you complain, Daphne and Rose will be like sisters, as for the feeling, there will be, but it will be one of mutual respect between them both. As for sex in the future, the three will share the bed, outside of it, at most, Daphne and Rose will share a kiss or a peck.
