Prologue

'Are you sure you have everything?'

'Yes. Mom, for the hundredth time, I'm sure.' I gave my mother a big hug and was about to turn to my dad, who was already standing there with open arms, when my mom grabbed my arm.

''cause if you don't, you can always send me a letter. Alright? Don't forget to write us every week.'

'Every week!' Hugo squeaked.

'No, your mom's just exaggerating. Every two weeks is good.' Dad said.

'Ronald! If you say two weeks they'll only write once a month. Especially Hugo.'

'I promise I'll write you at least twice a month, mom.' I assured her, but she didn't look like she believed me.

'Fine,' she sighed and kissed my cheek for the billionth time 'But don't forget that you can write me anytime, anywhere. Well, for you it'll be at the same place. I mean that even if I'm at work, you can write me. Understand? And you too Hugo.' Hugo was staring off into space, I'm not sure what he's thinking about.

'What? Oh yeah.'

'Now can I finely get my hug?' My dad said. My mom let go of my arm so that I could hug my dad.

'Now, remember what I said yesterday…' he began.

'Yes, yes, yes. Dad, please don't start again. I know, school comes first then boys. Got it.' It was every year the same story, the last night before going back to Hogarts, my dad comes up to my room and tells me that I have to be good in school, and not spend any time with boys.

Like at all.

'Ron!'

'What? Do you want her to be chasing after boys all day instead of studying for school?' my dad asked.

'No, but I trust my daughter. I know that she isn't that stupid. Besides, your one to talk.' She snapped.

'What's that suppose to mean?' my dad asked angrily.

'Oh right, pretend like you were a goodie two shoes in your sixth year.'

'Are you still on that? What about Krum huh?' I was so relieved when I saw the Potter's coming our way that I practically ran into Al so that I could get away from my parents. It was always like that with my parents, one minute they're fighting and the other they can't keep their hands off of each other.

'Hey.' Al said happily when he saw me.

'Have you grown? What is this, I just saw you last week and you were definitely shorter!'

'I'm 5 ft 7. Just like last week, Al. And nice to see you too.' I turned to Mr. and Mrs. Potter.

'Hi Rose, are you ready for your second last year in Hogwarts?' Mrs. Potter asked.

'I think so, I…'

'You forgot something didn't you.' My mom said.

'No! Mom! For the love of god, I told you, I didn't forget something.'

'Hermione, lovely as always.' Mr. Potter joked. Lilly gave me a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek.

'Hey Rose, how're you doing?'

'Er... I'm fine,' I laughed 'What's up with you, why so nervous?'

'Oh, you know,' she smiled her cute smile, but it didn't reach her soft blue eyes 'I'm stressed out because of the OWLs.'

'Your OWLs? Lils, school hasn't even started jet!'

'How were your OWLs last year? Did you pass all of them?'

'Yes, but why are you thinking about them already?'

'Lily, are you still on that! I told you, stop panicking now and start panicking the day before your first OWL.'

'Wow James, that was wonderful advice, you should totally_' I stopped talking when I looked at him.

'You're wearing your glasses?' I asked. He groaned loudly and looked at his mom.

'Mom, you told me that nobody would notice!'

'I never said that, I said that it's no big deal and besides, they look cute on you.' Ginny said, followed by a dirty look from James.

'Glasses are for dorks.'

'Hey! Glasses can be cool!' Mr. Potter said

'Yeah, and especially yours, dad.' Al laughed.

'What happened with your contacts?'

'I don't know… I lost them this morning. Now I have to wait until my parents send me the new ones. That's going to take for ages! It's so not cool for me to wear glasses on the first day of school.'

'Hey! I wear glasses too!' Hugo said, finally looking up from his gaze into space.

'Yeah but they are reading glasses, and you don't wear them so often. I have to wear these all the time.'

'Stop it already will you? Geez, I heard you the first time in the car, please don't start again.' Al said.

'You know James, they're really not that bad.' He looked at me. Not so friendly I tell you.

'Oh yeah, 'cause it's such a girls magnet.'

'Actually…' we all turned around at the sound of Roxanne's Voice.

'It's kind of hot.' I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

'Roxy!' I ran into her open arms and hugged her tightly.

'I'm so happy we can finely go back to Hogwarts! I have so many plans for this year, since last year was a total flop.'

'Yeah well, with all those OWLs, what did you expect?' I said. I heard Lily make a small noise behind me.

'Were is Fred?' James asked her.

'I don't know, I'm trying to avoid him as much as I can.'

'Why?'

'Because he made my vacation a living hell! Seriously, I'm so happy that I don't have to be living in the same house as him anymore.'

'You do know that you have to go back home in a few weeks.' Al told her while he threw an arm around my shoulders so that he could lean on me.

'Months, Al. In a few months.' She corrected him.

'Well, I'm sure Angelina and George are going to be very happy when they hear that. Oh, there they are.' My dad waved at someone far behind me.

'I can't believe it… I can't believe it.' Dom dropped her trunk with a loud "bump" in front of Al and me.

'What's up, Dom?' Roxanne asked her worriedly.

'It's my last year. My last year at Hogwarts. I still remember the first day, and now my last will be here soon!'

'Geez Dom, you're not dying.' Al said. She shot him a dead serious look.

'I might as well be Al, I might as well be.'

'Stop repeating everything twice!' I jelled at her.

'You don't understand, Rose! It's my last year and I don't even know what I want to do when I'm done with school… it's so frustrating!' Dom pulled her beautiful face in a weird way that probably said "I don't know what to do with my life".

'Cheer up Dom, at least you won't be alone. Fred and I will graduate too this year.' James said.

'Did someone say my naaame!' Fred sang.

'Oh god.' Roxanne took a deep breath, as if she wanted to prepare herself from what was coming.

''Sup cousins, how are we doing this fine day?' there were a few good and fines that came from Al, James, Lily and me and a hmpf from Roxanne. Dom didn't say anything, she just looked at her trunk with a sad face.

'Dom, where are your parents?' aunt Angelina asked.

'I don't know… Louis is probably holding them back.' She said and then turning to Lily to mutter something to her 'That git is always so slow.'

'Well, he has to be here quick 'cause the train's going to set off soon.'

'I think you guys should get on the train.' Her husband a.k.a uncle George said.

'Fine. mom, dad, I'll see you in a couple of months.' Roxanne said while hugging her parents. I saw how Fred was backing away and pulling James with him. Ha, no way that he's going to get away with this.

'Oi! Freddy, don't you wanna say goodbye to your parents?'

Oh… if looks could kill.

'Freddy, you'll write us at least once a month and not like last year when you only wrote when you needed something.' His mom hold him way to long for his liking and on top of that, kissed him on the cheek. I saw how his cheeks burned when he noticed that James and Al were laughing their heads off.

'Oh god, it's always hard to see you guys go.' I saw the tears building up in the corner of aunt Angelina's eyes.

'Mom, please, we'll be back before you know it.' Fred assured her. Uncle George wrapped his arms around his wife's waist and gave her a soft kiss.

'Okay, guys, now you should really get on the train_'

'Non Louis, je t'avais déjà dit!'

'But mom!'

'Louis, listen to your mother.' Uncle Bill's voice sounded loud and clear what made Louis shut up.

'There you are little prat! We were waiting for you.' Dom hissed at him.

'who are you calling a prat, crazy bint!' he jelled back at her.

'You go Louis!' Fred laughed.

'Oh shut up tosser!' Roxanne snapped at her brother.

'Was I talking to you?'

'No! You just… shut up!'

'Oo, nice comeback!'

'You're such a git!'

'You are!'

'I hate you!'

'Dom! Stop hitting your brother!' Fleur jelled desperately. I looked up from Roxanne and Fred's little fight to see Dom hitting her younger brother.

'Oi! Stop! Dom! Watch it! The hair! Dom, the hair!'

'Oh dear god! Why did we have all our children at the same time!' George held Roxanne back and held his hand on her mouth so she couldn't toss more dirty words at her brother. It was quite terrifying though, her chocolate-brown eyes were so wildly open that it looked like they were about to fall out of her head. If I was Fred, I would shit my pants. But of course he wasn't about to shit his pants. No, he even tried to make it worse.

'Oh what's that Roxy? I can't hear you… oh, you love me? That's so sweet! I love you too sister dear.' Al put his face in my neck to hide his laughter. I myself just laughed, I knew that she wouldn't hurt me. James sighed loudly.

'This is priceless.' He leaned back against his trunk to watch Dom who was trying to hit her brother again but she couldn't because Louis was hiding himself behind his mother.

'Don't you just love our family Rose?' Al asked me.

'We really should get on the train if we want to make it to Hogwarts this year.' I said.

'You're probably right. You know, I already said goodbye to my parents… we could just leave.'

'Sure, they'll thank us later when they can't find an empty compartment.' I convinced myself.

I was so relieved When we finally found a compartment where there was enough room for a few more people.

'Next year we'll get on the train way sooner.' Al said. I sat on the seat next to the window and tried my best to ignore the fifth year girls who were staring at my cousin.

'I hope they'll find us.' He yawned and ruffled his hair a little. I could swear that I just heard a girl sigh. Maybe Al was just ignoring it or he really didn't hear them giggle every time he just moved a little. Why was everybody in my family so attractive? I mean, Dom and Louis were one-eighth Veela so that was understandable but James and Al? Seriously, all the girls in Hogwarts were or chasing after James or Al, that depended on what type you liked if you liked the loud and -try's to be- funny one, than you were good with James but if you liked the mysterious, sexy, quiet one than you had an eye on Al, unfortunately the little sucker didn't even realize that half of Hogwarts was chasing after him, couldn't say that about his brother. Or they were running after Fred. And he was even worse than James. He just knew it when a girl liked him. So don't even ask me how many times I caught him behind a tapestry with some girl.

'Have you seen Jayden jet?' Al asked me which brought me out of my daydreaming.

'Who?'

'Jayden, you know, 5 ft 8, brown hear, brown eyes, my best friend since third year?'

'Oh, yeah, Jayden... er, no sorry, didn't see him.'

'I've seen him.' One of the fifth years girls said. No sorry, scratch that, one of the fifth years girls squeaked.

'Oh yeah?' Al turned to face her with a big smile on his face. Seriously, wasn't he even going to wonder how she knew where we were talking about? I could just hear the girl thinking. It would probably go like this: oh my god, he's talking to me! Breath, just breath, *whatever her name is*, breath! You saw his friend on the platform right? Just tell him that. But oh god, have you seen his eyes? They are so green! The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen! And they are looking into mine, I can't believe this is happening! Now I really have to talk or I'll screw everything up. Oh god, I probably already did... he's still waiting for my answer, oh no he just frowned, shit what am I going to say?!-
Al cleared his throat. This was priceless!

'I...er... I saw him on the platform.' She managed to say.

'And do you know where he headed off to?'

'I think I saw him enter a compartment with some other of your friends.' I had to bit my lip to stop myself from laughing. She totally just gave away that she knows who his friends are. That didn't sound like a stalker at all.

'Oh, good. Could you show me which compartment it was?' I seriously needed to talk to this boy sometime.

'If it's not too much to ask.' He added quickly when he took her disbelieving expression the wrong way.

'No, of course not. I mean yes, yes I'll show you but it's not a big deal.' She said quickly.

'Are you leaving me here all alone?' I asked Al.

'No, of course not. I'll wait until Roxy comes and then I'll leave.' I suddenly felt a little offended.

'Oh don't let me be the one who keeps you away from your friends. I have my own friends.'

Okay. Maybe not. Al and Roxy were actually my only real friends. Pathetic, I know but we entered Hogwarts the same year and we started hanging out with each other from day one so I didn't had a reason to go and make some new friends because I already had them. Somewhere around third year Al decided to stab us in the back and went off to make some new friends. He still stayed our best friend but we didn't see him as much as we did in first and second year. Maybe it was just better this way, 'cause the older we became, the more we started to talk about and to boys. Well, with "we" I mean Roxanne.

'Rose, it's okay, I don't mind waiting.'

'No, just go. Roxy will be here in a few minutes.'

'Are you sure?' No.

'Yes.'

'Fine then, could you lead me the way... er, sorry I didn't catch your name.' Al smiled at the girl.

'It's Grace.'

'Well Grace, nice to meet you.' He gave her another smile and then opened the door of the compartment. The girl came back two minutes later with the reddest cheeks I've ever seen. She didn't even sit jet when her friends bombed her with all their questions.

'What did he say?'

'Did he kiss you?'

'What did you say?'

'Was he a real gentlemen?' Bloody hell, you would think they would wait until they were alone. After about two more minutes I couldn't hear more and stood up to leave the compartment. Fine, then I'll go look for Roxy. I passed a few compartments and was immediately asked how my vacation was by a few people. See, I do have friends. I answered with a quick "fine, thank you" and continued searching Roxy. Good lord, where was she. I looked like a total loner, wandering through the corridors. With every minute I started to get more and more angrier at Al. I couldn't just go back, those Al-obsessed girls would think I'm so weird. On the other hand, who are they to talk? I was so deep in thoughts that I didn't see the door of the compartment on my left open.

'What're you doing, wondering al alone in the corridors?' I heard a voice say. I looked up to see that it was Scorpius.

'Why you wanna know?' he shrugged.

'Just asking.'

'Were you planning on going somewhere?'

'Not really, why?'

'Well, you opened the door.' I looked over his shoulder to see who else was in his compartment. Just a few Slytherins, of course.

'Because it's the third time you walked by our compartment.'

'Oh' I looked at the wall where he was leaning on so that I wouldn't have to make eye contact. I never really liked talking to him, not that I hated him or anything, it was just... weird with our parents history and all. I mean, I couldn't just ignore the fact that his dad tried to kill my parents and uncle Harry. If they just didn't get along so well in school then it wouldn't be such a big deal but this was. And I think he felt the same way. Because in our five years that we've been going at the same school and sometimes sitting in the same class, he only uttered thirty words to me. At most. And of course my dad himself didn't want me to be very friendly with him. That's what he told me on my first day of school. But after that, his name never came up again. Maybe James and Al said his name a few times because he's the seeker of the Slytherin Quidditch team but that was all, and my dad didn't make a big deal out of it, he just told them that they had to win and it wouldn't be tolerated if they lost from a Malfoy.

'So, who are you looking for?' he asked. I looked up at him so that maybe I could understand why he was talking to me. He didn't look irritated or mad, nor did he look shy or sweet. He just looked like... Scorpius, I guess.

'Roxanne, if you know her.' He smiled a little.

'Of course I know her.' He said.

'You guys have been in my potions class since first year, and I would be blind and stupid if I hadn't noticed her jet.' Remember what I said about all my cousins being attractive?

'Right. So, have you seen her?' I asked.

'No, sorry.'

Silence. Why did he open that bloody door?

'Er... alright, then I'll just keep on looking.' I smiled weakly at him.

'Right.'

Should I just walk away or...?

'Bye?' he cleared his throat and pressed himself off of the wall. With a last head nod he entered his compartment again. Well... that was weird. The guy never talked to me and now, just like that, he did. I was lucky that I was focusing on my left side. When I past a compartment on my left I saw Al sitting there having the time of his life with his guy friends. That git. I walked fast so that he couldn't see me. I was so getting tired of this! What if Roxy's looking for me too? Then we would both be wondering in these corridors. I laughed at the thought of Roxy and I wondering all alone in the corridors while we were looking for each other.

'Rose! There you are, I've been looking all over for you! Where in Merlin's name have you been?' I turned around to see Roxy standing at the door of a compartment.

'Looking for you!'

'Oh that's so typical.' She laughed.

'Where's Al?' She asked while I entered the compartment which was full with Fred, James and some other two girls I didn't know.

'How should I know?' I said a little too loud.

'I don't know, maybe because he's your favourite cousin.' James and Fred both jelled at me when she said that.

'That little twat? C'mon I'm so much more fun to be around than my little brother.'

'Rose, what about me! You can't pick favourites!'

'Oh please, we all know that Dom is your favourite girl cousin.' I told James.

'I love her, but she's way to crazy. And when she gets mad she starts to call me names in French which is so not fair 'cause I never know what she's saying.' He made a sad face

'I thought I was your favourite guy cousin, you are my favourite girl cousin!' Roxanne made a disbelieving sound.

'Well you thought wrong.' James' sad face made place for a shocked glance. And then a creepy little smile crossed his face.

'That right there is why you're my favourite cousin, you're so sweet but can be such a bitch sometimes.'

'So is Dom!'

'No. Dom's just a bitch.'

'Where is she anyway?' Roxanne asked.

'Prefect duties.' Fred said while stuffing his mouth with some candy.

'Ya 'ont sum?' he asked.

'Er… no thanks.' The way he ate didn't make it appetizing.

'Yo Fred, I heard Elora Rae dumped the braces, you know what that means right?'

'Wait, what? Elora? As in my friend Elora?' I asked. Beside Roxy and Al I did have another friend, well actually we were just roommates but we borrowed each other's clothes sometimes and you don't do that with strangers, right? At least that's what my mom taught me. James didn't respond.

'So that means that she made The List?' Fred asked with a huge grin on his face.

'Yes.' James grinned even wider.

'Hold up, The List?' Roxanne looked at her brother with disbelief in her eyes.

'You're not serious, right?'

'What's The List?' I asked. Fred waggled his eyebrows at me and James was too busy counting something on his fingers. Roxanne turned to face me.

'These idiots made a stupid list of the top ten hottest girls in Hogwarts.'

'Are you kidding me?!' I spat at them.

'Jep, she finely made it.' James said when he was done counting. I heard the girls next to me take a breath of disbelief. I looked at the girl that was sitting next to Roxanne and smiled apologetic at her. I was so ashamed of my cousins.

'Who else is on The List?' I whisper asked so that the girls next to us couldn't hear me. James took of his glasses to wipe them with his shirt. When his hazel eyes met mine he smiled again.

'Sorry Rose, you're my cousin it would be weird if we put you on the list. But I'm sure you're on some other boys' list.' I felt my cheeks burn a little.

'No dumbass, I just want to know who else is on the list.'

'Well, 'cause you're asking so sweetly, other than your friend there's also_' he was cut off by Fred who put his hand in front of James' mouth. James immediately slapped his hand away.

'Dude, what's your problem!' He jelled at Fred.

'Are you crazy? You can't tell anyone who's on The List! If you tell one person than soon enough whole Hogwarts knows, and that includes all the girls who areon the list. And then they wouldn't be so hard to get anymore. And what's the fun about that?'

'I already said it a hundredth times and I'll keep saying it: Freddy, you're an idiot.' Roxanne snatched the glasses out of James hands and put them on.

'Jesus Christ, James, are you blind?'

'Roxanne, give them back.' He tried to take it back but failed. What's up with people who wear glasses? Every time when I just touch Hugos glasses he starts yelling at me like I just killed his cat.

'Fine, then don't tell me. I don't need to know.' I snatched a magazine that was lying on the floor and flipped through the pages until I found a crossword puzzle. How well do you know muggles? Oh, this is going to be easy! My mom always insisted that Hugo and I would learn a little more about the muggle world.
First question, horizontal; at what age do muggles go to the middle school? I wrote "twelve" in the six little squares that belonged to the first question. What's the name for something muggles use to write with. Tip: you can erase it with a gum. Are they being for real? This was so ridiculous. James and Fred played the rest of the trip Exploding Snap while Roxanne was daydreaming about who knows what and looking out of the window. The two girls were slightly irritated by the endless sound of the exploding cards but managed to continue their conversation about their vacation. Apparently, the blond girl how sat next to James went to a water park where she met her new boyfriend. I saw a little frown form on Freds face and heard him whisper 'damn' when she mentioned her boyfriend. A few minutes later he said 'Who dates a muggle?' Roxanne looked up and made a warning face towards her brother.

'Excuse me?' the blond girl snapped. Oh dear god. James threw his cards at Fred –one of them exploded- and quickly came to sit next to me.

'I'm just saying_'

'What? You're saying what?' Fred shrugged.

'How can you date a muggle? I mean, the poor guy never sees you 'cause you're going to a boarding school and he doesn't even know who you really are.'

'Yes he does!' her blue eyes lightened up dangerously. Why does Freddy always have to help himself in trouble?

'Oh yeah?' Fred smirked at her and crossed his arms in a carefree way. 'So he knows that you're a witch?' The blond girls friend looked at her shoes and didn't say anything. Nice friend you have there, Blondie.

'I was planning on telling him when I go back home for Christmas break.' Blondie grinded her teeth. Fred gave her a disbelieving look and then burst out laughing.

'Have you lost your mind? How long do you know this guy? You're just going to tell him that you're a witch and expect that he'll believe you?' Blondie seemed tacking aback but quickly recovered herself.

'Why do you even care? It's none of your business!'

'I don't. I just think that you're making a huge mistake.'

'You guys, I think that we should change, we're almost there.' Roxanne said what caused Fred and Blondie to snap out of it. I looked at James who was sitting there with his mouth half open looking very amused at Blondie and Fred. I poked him in his chest.

'Stop looking like that you creep.' James looked offended.

'That's it. Roxanne is my favourite cousin.'

'No. I don't need to be your sloppy second choice.' James was about to say something when Blondie started to yell at Fred.

'God! You really think you're it don't you? But you're not! You're just another stupid bloke that's on the Quidditch team just so he can impress girls. Well guess what, you don't impress me, prat!' and after that she left us all with our mouths hung open and Fred with a hurt expression on his face that was quickly replaced by his stupid grin. Blondies girlfriend just sat there and didn't know what to do. We didn't know what to say to her so we just didn't say anything.

'well, this was fun. I'll be off to my compartment to change. See 'ya.' When I was at the door I turned around to face Roxy.

'Will you wait for me at the carriages?' She nodded her head and I left the compartment.
