Chapter 1 – Fifth Year

Rose's POV:

I woke up the morning of my first day of 5th year feeling sluggish. That was however the only point of the morning that was slow, the rest was filled with rushing around the house. As Mum is yelling for Hugo to "get a move on" as Dad is loading the luggage into the car. Then there's me totally organized…not…as I triple check that I had everything. Finally we finally piled into the car and headed for the trains station. Kings Cross was as busy as ever with people zipping in every direction. At the platform we met up with the rest of our family.

James, Albus and Lily were the first to greet us with Auntie Ginny and Uncle Harry.

Lily gave me a quick hug and said, "I already have lots of gossip to tell you about on the ride." She giggled. Lily was one of the most informed 3rd year students you'll meet at Hogwarts. If you ask her about her sources then all you'll get is, "That's confidential," with a cheeky giggle. Sometimes I worry about her wellbeing and I don't mean physically.

James was the same as ever huddling in a small group with Fred and Louis – both my cousins also and are the same age as James – planning a prank of some sort making more work for Prefects like me. I sighed at the thought.

Albus, however, was already over with his friend, Scorpius Malfoy. They'd been friends since first year and were both sorted into Slytherin house. I'd been sorted into Gryffindor. I don't hold prejudice against the other houses but I have always found that I had a hard time being anything more than civil towards Malfoy.

Lily pulls me out of my thoughts to let me know that if we wanted to get first dibs on a compartment then we should go now. I told her to go on a head while I say goodbye to my parents and she nodded, going ahead.

"Well see for Christmas break," I said to my parents.

"Have a good time," Dad said.

"I will," I assure – oh, how I didn't know just how much of a good time it would be.

Mum replied, "Don't forget to write."

"I won't forget," I answered with a smile and a wave as I walked onto the train.

I walk pass different compartments looking for Lily, I eventually found here close to the back. I opened the door and she grinned cheekily at me; I couldn't help but grin too.

"So what's the news?" I ask while I put my trunk up.

"Well…" Lily started, "Holly Blanche broke up with Henry Fisher."

That surprised me, Holly and Henry – who were both in my year – had been dating since the holidays before third year. I remember all other talk that went around when they got together. They were quiet the perfect couple: they almost never fought; they had lots in common; they had been quiet loyal to each other and their relationship never had any tension that I know of.

"Apparently there was an incident where there were a few misunderstandings and miscommunications about what Holly was ready for in their relationship and her father happened to enter the situation right at the wrong point also the fact Holly had a bit of a scare….so they broke up and from what I hear Henry is very sorry," Lily spoke rather fast like she had been holding information that she'd been dying to tell.

I nodded to indicate that I got all of the info. Just then the Potter-Weasly gang – excluding Albus, Lucy and Molly – started to enter the compartment. First Hugo came in and sat next to Lily, followed by James, Fred, Louis and Roxanne respectively. They all took their seats.

"Rosie, how are you?" Roxanne asked.

"So far it has been pretty good, what about you Roxy?" I said.

"Very good actually," Roxy had a beaming smile. She had recently been asked out by this guy that she won't tell us anymore about him. Still, he does make her smile all the time – even when she has a bad day. Though if he did ever break her heart no doubt the 'Weasly Big Brother Club' or what I shorten it to the WBBC – consisting of James, Fred, Louis, Albus and Hugo – would probably not let the guy live. They have this habit of being really protective of all the girls in our family and like to intimidate the guys we date. One time Molly had a guy that ran away from the WBBC and the guy didn't speak to Molly for another year. Sometimes, I wonder if they do more than good.

Remembering I had a Prefect meeting to go to I excused myself and pulled my robes on quickly in the empty compartment next to the Potter-Weasly one and headed to the prefects compartment. On the way I came to the compartment that Albus and Malfoy were sitting in alone. I hesitated and thought, are you really going to go in there just to say a quick hello and end up fighting with Malfoy, before we both head to the Prefect meeting?. Albus had told me over the holidays that Malfoy was made a Prefect as well. I decided I had better just say hello because I probably wouldn't see him after this until tomorrow. I knock first and open the door to have both Albus and Malfoy looking questioningly at me. I close the door behind me and politely smile.

"Hey Al," I greeted then looked at Malfoy and politely greeted, "Hello Malfoy."

"Hey Rosie," Albus replied.

Malfoy nodded and said, "Weasly."

Hey at least he acknowledged me this time, the positive side of my brain said because he doesn't always reply to my greeting. Why was that important anyway? It wasn't. Then I notice that Malfoy had become leaner over the holidays and had put on some muscle those facts were plainly obvious even with his robes on. His platinum blonde hair had grown a little so that it now tickled his eye lids just below his eye brows – this also meant that he had to occasionally brush bits out of his eyes. Al had also become leaner and more defined in his features but they weren't as noticeable as Malfoy's.

"What ya up to?" Al asked leaning back snapping me luckily out of my bazar daydream and back to reality. I will somehow think to punish myself later – probably do more before class reading – for continuing to dwell on Malfoy for too long.

"Just came to ask how holidays were," I answered sitting beside – well maybe not really close beside but still the same side as Malfoy – because Al was lying down.

"My holidays were boring, but Scorp's holiday sounds more exciting," Albus pointed out.

"Really?" I turn and look at Scorpius waiting for him to elaborate.

He had a smirk on his face and that's when I had the gut feeling that we were about have an argument – well, maybe not as full on as an argument but more like a disagreement.

"What? Are you implying that I can't have an eventful holiday just because yours wasn't?" He asked his voice hinted his amusement.

Yep that did it, we were definitely going to disagree.

"Who said anything about my holiday being uneventful – which it was by the way," I replied not bothering to hide my annoyance.

"Oh really? And just what did you do this holidays?" He ask still with his arrogance smirk.

"Well I went to these cliffs that you can do whale watching and we saw a pod of whales," I replied trying to make it sound like it was the most exciting thing ever. Yet, I knew I was failing to do so and it was probably wiser to back down now but I had inherited my Dad's stubbornness.

"Well, I am terribly envious I missed the whales while I was in Scotland hiking the beautiful mountains," He said arrogantly.

"Why didn't you just stay there instead of coming back then?" I almost spat back trying to control my temper – that for some strange reason always flared when we argued – from exploding.

"Well to start with," He leaded closer letting his pools of silver for eyes bore into my ocean blue eyes. When our gazes had met I almost forgot to breath. My common sense was screaming at me to wake up! But that did little to move my body. He continued in a slightly quieter voice – Al was still able to hear though – than before, "it's more interesting here with people who I can torment."

I finally snapped out of my daze finally and I retort, "Oh, go drown yourself in the lake why don't ya!" I then almost flung the door open and roughly closed it behind me and continuing down the hallway to the Prefect compartment in hopes for somewhere to calm down before the meeting. What the hell was that? I asked myself.

Aria: Please don't forget to tell me what you think :) I would be very greatful.
