So this is a new story I've been working on. It's my way of keeping myself under control until Pottermore. So here ya go. I hope it helps you through also.
I walked into the Great Hall and sat down by my friend Scorpius Malfoy. He didn't notice me he was to busy staring at Rose Weasley from where she sat at the Gryffindor table. He had a pretty nice view considering we were at the Slytherin table.
"Bloody Hell Scorp, just go talk to her," I said, knocking him out of his stupor.
"I can't. She hates me, thanks to Gabrielle. God, I'm an idiot," He said shoveling scrambled eggs into his mouth at warp speed.
"Hey, slow down. I think Hogwarts likes it's silverware not in students stomachs," I said putting my hand on his fork.
I heard chuckling and jumped in surprise. When I turned around, I saw Albus Potter sitting there watching Scorpius and I bicker. I guess it was kinda obvious, but I guess I'll state it anyway. I have guys for best friends. No girls, the closest I had was Alice Longbottom and we only talked because we were occasionally potions partners.
"What's got you all smiley this morning, Albie?" I asked, ruffling his messy black hair.
"Stop it," he said pushing my hand away. "Kendra Thomas. I think I'm in love with her. I think, maybe."
"Wow, looks like someone's indecisive," Scorpius laughed.
"Says the boy who's been in love with the same girl for five years now and still hasn't said a word to her? Do you think that you're one to talk?" I asked him.
"Shut up," they said at the same time.
"Hey Albie," Kendra Thomas said, sitting down between Albus and I .
I couldn't help but feel a huge lump form in the bottom of my stomach. She was beautiful, long black curls, tan skin and electric blue eyes. I had red hair and flat green eyes. I mean seriously. His entire family has red hair, I would get lost. Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself again, let me explain something. I, Laken Penelope Willows, am in love with my best friend. And I don't mean Scorpius.
I love Albus. Yeah, it sucks. He loves Kendra, possibly and I love him, definitely. And she called him Albie, that's my nickname for him. Nobody else can call him that, he promised that way back in first year. On the train ride to Hogwarts.
Kendra shimmied her hips and pushed me farther away from her and Albus, but of course Albus didn't see this. He was to busy looking into her stupid big blue eyes. God, I sound so bitter.
"Well hey there, Lake. I love you too, but can you give me some space, please? Any closer and you'll be in my lap," Scorpius said laughing at me.
"Shut up, I'm going to class," I said, pushing up from the table harder than necessary. In the process I knocked the pitcher of pumpkin juice over and it completely soaked Kendra.
"Oh my god, you bitch. I can't believe you just did that. Albus, you're little friend just soaked me in pumpkin juice," Kendra shrieked. Lucky for me, almost everybody was on their way to class so they didn't witness this little scene.
"I'm sure she didn't mean to do it sweetie," Albus said. The word sweetie was like a dagger flung at my unprotected heart.
"I didn't do it on purpose, I don't think I even hit the table that hard," I said, thinking about it for a minute. The tables in the Great Hall were really strong, I don't think my little jostle would knock over a almost full pitcher.
"Well apologize, please," Albus said, not even looking at me.
"What? There's no way I knocked that pitcher over. It was almost full. I don't think that my little bang on the table was strong enough to knock it over," I said.
"Well, obviously she did it, Albie. Make her apologize to me. I'm all covered in pumpkin juice now," Kendra whined in a nasally voice.
"Just apologize to her, Lake. You knocked the pitcher over and it landed on Kendra. Stop being so damn stupid," Albus shouted.
Albus never shouted at me. He was the one who told people not to shout at me. He was my best friend and he was believing Kendra over me. We'd been friends for five years. They'd been dating for three weeks. I think our friendship should outweigh that bitch.
This whole conversation had been a series of sharp dagger thrown at my heart and him calling me stupid was the last one I was going to take. I stood up from the table, fighting back tears, and said, "I am not stupid."
I all but ran out of the Great Hall. I walked up the stairs and into potions and sat down next to Alice. She took one glance at me and stopped talking to the girl in front of her and looked at me.
"Lake, what's wrong? You're crying," Alice said in her quiet voice.
I didn't even realize it, but I was crying quite steadily. Silent tears making their way down my face and into my hair. I just shook my head. I crossed my arms and laid my forehead down on them. I felt Alice place a timid hand on my back, like she was expecting me to brush her off. But I let her keep it there.
"I stood up and a pitcher of pumpkin juice fell and spilled on Kendra. Albus didn't even look away from Kendra, he just told me to apologize. I told him I didn't do it, but he didn't believe me. Then he called me stupid," I whimpered towards the end.
I felt a gaze on my back and when I turned around and saw that it was Albus and Scorpius, they were walking in right in front of Professor Popper. They slid into the table beside mine and Alice's and the class began. I wiped my eyes quickly so Albus couldn't see that I had been crying. I don't think my eyes left the front of the room all of class.
When Professor Popper dismissed us, I all but ran into the corridor and into the Astronomy tower. Once I got to the class room I realized how stupid I was. Albus had this class with me. Damn it, he sat by me. God, I'm a genius.
I want at least, I don't know, let's say 3 reveiws before I post the next chapter. So if you like it, review.
