The Favor

Chapter 1: Prologue
"Are you sure this will work, Al?" Maggie Wood, Rose's best girl friend, asked Albus Potter, Rose's cousin, in a hushed voice as they conversed in the library.
"Positive. Don't worry Maggie. I'll help you! All you have to do is to tell Rose that you have a major crush on Scorpius, then you ask her to observe him for you, since you two aren't close, and while I'm sure she'll agree, she'll start to notice things about him she's never seen before, and BAM! They'll be a couple!" Al said with matching arm movements to exaggerate his words, also in a hushed yet enthusiastic tone.
"O-okay. If you say so," Maggie said apprehensively. "Why are we doing this again?"
"Because, Maggie, I know those two have a thing for each other—heck, everyone knows—, and yet they're both so dense, it's getting pretty annoying. I mean, for two of the smartest people in our year, they sure are thick." He said shaking his head.
"When do I start?"
"Tomorrow night. You begin with a shy, innocent confession. You can do it, Maggie. I know you can." Al said with a soft smile.
"Yeah, thanks, Al." she said, returning the smile.
An awkward silence approached them and then Al broke the awkwardness by standing up.
"Well, we must get going. Wouldn't want to be late to Herbology. Neville might be my dad's good friend, but he wouldn't want us to be late." He said hastily as he made a move to grab his things. Maggie simply nodded her head and they made their way out of the library.
And so it began.
