"You do! You so do! Just admit it, Lily," Lulu said while making arm gestures like there was no tomorrow.

You see. Lulu is my best friend, and she thinks that I, Lily Luna Potter, have a thing for quidditch captains. Personally, I think she's crazy, but she keeps on insisting.

I shook my head furiously and said, "I do not. I don't just like quidditch captains."

She just smiled brightly and said, "But the guys that you really fall for and actually care about, are."

I rolled my eyes and replied, "I fell for one quidditch captain and nothing happened."

She kept that annoying smile and said, "Yeah, but let's not forget about the one you are currently crushing on."

This was starting to get frustrating. I don't remember why I even tell her things.

Then she continued, "Just because things didn't go like they were supposed to with Drew, doesn't mean that things with Davies won't go well."

I gave her a pointed look and said, "I don't want to date Tristan. We both know, he's an ass and a player, and he annoys the crap out of me. And I got over Drew a long time ago."

She smirked and said, "If you hate Davies so much, then why did you just call him 'Tristan'?"

I blushed which is something I normally wouldn't do, but it just happened. It made her giggle and squeal.

I simply threw a pillow at her head and said, "Please let's not talk of Hogwarts or anything associated with it, including boys. I have two days of summer left, and I am not going to waste them thinking about school."

She threw the pillow back at me and said, "Fine, but we will talk about this later. I mean I didn't even get to mention your quidditch captain. I mean we talked about Drew Wood, brother's best friend, the ASS, Tristan Davies, but we didn't get to the bad boy…"

"KIDS, COME DOWNSTAIRS!!! DINNER'S READY!!!" my mom yelled at the top of her lungs.

I was extremely thankful for that interruption. I under no circumstances want to continue talking about all the quidditch captains and how I feel about each and every one of them. I am sure Lulu will bring it up though. She never forgets anything.

Unfortunately for me, one of those quidditch captains is here. It's all Albus's fault too. That's right, Drew Wood has been here for the whole summer, and I have to see him right now.

You see at Potter Manor it isn't just me and Lulu. It's Albus and his friends, James and his friends, and my parents and their friends whose kids are here too. I know we are a very popular bunch. You can only imagine how crazy dinner is.

Basically, we all race downstairs, get in a single file line, get our food, and then go to the kid's room to eat. The adults eat in the dining room. There is not enough room for all of us, but I don't really mind because it's fun doing it this way. I mean it can get chaotic, but we always have a good time.

I was actually just about to run downstairs when Lulu grabbed my arm. She just said, "Let's wait awhile…you have to fill me in on all the things I miss. I mean I tell you everything, but you always leave out details. And we never get to talk much during school because we are in different houses."

I took a deep breath and said, "Please let's talk about this later. All the food's going to be gone, and it's not my fault, you just had to be a Hufflepuff."

She pouted and said, "It is not my fault you had to be a Slytherin. I mean we had it all planned out. Hufflepuff had none of your family members in it, and it wouldn't upset anyone. It would've worked out better, but nooooo. You had to be all cunning."

I laughed and said, "Blame the sorting hat. Not me. Who knew the sorting hat would think I was cunning when I tried to trick it into putting me into Hufflepuff? Then it said that Slytherin would be a better fit. Then it screamed, 'Better be Slytherin.' Really, I didn't have much of a choice."

She shrugged and said, "Only you would try to trick the sorting hat. Eh, it doesn't matter. We are still BFF's!"

I laughed and decided to make a run for it. I ran all the way down stairs with Lulu running right behind me. I'm surprised she didn't fall. When we finally got downstairs, we both noticed that all the guys had eaten all of the "good" food, so we were left with vegetables, salads, and other healthy food crap. BLAHH!!!

Lulu just pouted some more and said, "Please don't say it."

I gave her my most innocent smile and said, "What? I told you so? Because I did tell you, and now we don't have anything to eat!"

Lulu glared and said, "Damn it, Lily, I hate it when you say that! And you shouldn't blame me. Blame those animals!" She said this all while pointing over and over again at the boys.

"LUCY ALICE LONGBOTTOM!!!" Lulu cringed at the name.

She then walked over to her mother who looked extremely pissed off. Poor Lulu.

Then I just zoned out and walked over to the guys. Lulu would tell me all about it later anyway.

James spoke up saying, "I bet you all 10 galleons that it's about her grades!"

Albus says, "20 galleons. It's about a boy!"

Then the twins (Lorcan and Lysander) said simultaneously, "30 galleons says Lily gets it right."

They all looked at me like I honestly knew what was going on.

Then I smiled. I knew exactly what had happened. They weren't paying close enough attention. I mean they should know by now how Mrs. Longbottom is.

I smirked and said, "50 galleons says it's about her language when she said, 'damn'. You guys know how Mrs. Longbottom is. She hates foul language, and she always says that it isn't how a young lady should speak."

The twins high-fived and were hooting and hollering like crazy.

I smiled knowing for sure that I had figured it out.

James screamed, "Wait! We still need Lulu to prove it."

Lulu was standing there listening to all of us and was trying to glare at all of us at the same time.

Lulu continued to glare and said, "You guys are all idiots. I am not telling."

I sighed and said, "But I know I got it right. Please! I'll share the profits!"

Her whole face lit up and she said, "It was all about me saying 'damn'."

I jumped up and down saying, "YES!!!"

She smiled and said, "I can't believe you guys didn't get that. You guys, of all people, know what my mom is like."

They all frowned except the twins. The twins just walked around the table to collect their profits.

Lulu and I just walked back upstairs and went into my room. We just decided to skip dinner.

Lulu was looking all around my room for something. I'm not quite sure what.

Then suddenly she exclaimed, "A HAH!!! I found it!"

Then she put my Hogwarts trunk on my bed and opened it.

Then she said, "You need to pack. Summer is almost over, and I packed my trunk last week. It won't be too bad. I'll help. Let's just not leave it to the last minute like we did last time."

I shrugged and said, "Fine."

We had just started packing, and I already wanted to stop.

Lulu gave me a weird look and said, "Why aren't you excited? Normally you're anxious and bouncing off the walls, or you're talking about who you missed."

I shrugged and said, "I don't know. I mean I love Hogwarts, but I don't want my summer to end. And I am excited."

She snorted and said, "Really? You don't seem excited."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Well there's a lot on my mind, and I really hate packing."

She laughed and said, "Are you thinking about your love of all the quidditch captains?"

I glared and said, "You do realize the Hufflepuff quidditch captain is a girl, right?

She snickered and said, "Wow, Lils, didn't know you swung that way."

I pushed her and said, "You know what I mean."

"Yeah, I do. Hey, which one do you like the most?" she asked with such curiosity.

"Well, I don't like Drew. There are just way too many problems, and I don't feel that way for him anymore," I replied.

She nodded and said, "Let me guess. He's too old even though you don't date anyone unless their older than you, and most of the time the guys you date, are one year older than you. He's only two years older. It isn't that bad. Oh and he's a Gryffindor. That would be kinda weird. He's leaving after this year, and he's your brother's best friend and that would just be awkward."

I smiled and said, "Exactly."

Then she asked, "What are your opinions on the other two? In other words, which one is it gonna be the ASS or the bad boy?"

"I don't really know Scorpius too much. I mean we aren't exactly friends, but we aren't enemies. We're friendish. He can be mean though. I don't think it's intentional. He just really wants to win the quidditch cup. I mean it is his last year, so I can understand why he would want to win," I replied.

She nodded her head while folding all my clothes and said, "So bad boy gets a maybe. I would like to point out that he is two years older than you too, and he is leaving after this year. He is also a Malfoy, but if you got married, you would have darling strawberry blonde children. OMG!!! I would be the godmother!"

I laughed and said, "Yeah, the whole parents' feud thing is weird. Oh and you forgot to add that he is Albus's #1 enemy. They hate each other. So I guess it's a 'no' for the bad boy."

Lulu just pouted and said, "Think about the children. The beautiful strawberry blonde children. I was gonna be a godmother. Screw Albus. Bad boy is the ONE!!!"

I smirked and said, "I knew it! You like Albus. This explains so much."

She turned bright red and said, "You know I don't. He is like the Gryffindor prince. I've got no chance."

I smiled and said, "Whatever, but if you do end up married to him, I am going to buy a big cake that has 'I TOLD YOU SO' written on it."

She stuck her tongue out at me and said, "You're cruel, and just for that, bad boy is out of the 'no' pile and back into the 'maybe' pile. Now tell me about the ASS. How do you feel about the ASS? Lily, do you love ASS?"

I laughed and asked, "Do you realize how bad that sounds?"

Her eyes widened and she said, "I do now!"

I shrugged.

She gave me a pointed look and said, "C'mon, we haven't got all day. Just tell me!"

I held up my hands in surrender and said, "Well, he's cute. He's a big player though. He is annoying. He constantly tries to ask me out and stuff. Ugh! I don't really know what else to say about him."

She patted my back and said, "Well, he's a sixth year which is good. He's not too old. Only a one year age difference which is pretty good. He's a Ravenclaw, so things wouldn't be awkward. Albus doesn't hate him, but they aren't friends either. The only problem that I can see is he is an ASS!"

I glared and said, "You use that word far too much."

She shrugged and said, "I can't be perfect! Oh, and guess what?"

I stared at her and said, "What?"

She was smiling brightly when she said, "You are all packed and ready for Hogwarts!"
