Dear Mum,

So far 6th year has been great! At least, for the few hours we've had. Don't you think I'm a little old for you to make me write you the second I get here? Oh well, you know I love it. I've talked to all my friends already- their summers were good. Madeleine went to her aunt's house on the Riviera- I am SO jealous! And Scorpius is doing fine, too. I think his dad is finally coming to accept the fact that Scorpius is in Ravenclaw. It only took him five years. Madeleine and Scorpius both told me to thank you for letting them come over during the summer for my birthday party- especially Scor. We both know it's hard getting Dad's permission for him to come because of the stupid rivalry thing. Professor Longbottom and Hagrid said hello, too, and Hugo looked like he was having fun at the Welcome Feast. But I know he has to write you too, so I guess you'll hear from him soon. Anyway, I should probably go now. I want to have a chance to catch up with my friends! I'll write you soon, Mum.

Love,

Rosie

PS- Don't tell Aunt Ginny, but so far Fred and James have 5 detentions each for setting Weasley's Wizard Wheezes fireworks in all the dorms. I think that's a record for the first day of school!

------------------------------------------------------------------

As I entered the Ravenclaw Common Room, an explosion of noise greeted me. The official back-to-school party had started. Music blared as everyone danced and talked, catching up on what had happened over the summer. I could see Bailey Parker and Madeleine McGowan, two of my best friends, flirting with the school heartthrob- my cousin James. GROSS! And how did he sneak into Ravenclaw anyway? I really wasn't surprised, though. I looked around the room for Scorpius as I grabbed a butterbeer.

Suddenly, I felt a rush of wind. A shimmering, silvery eagle perched on my shoulder.

"Go down to the tree".

I grinned at the bird and nodded. Scorpius and I had taught ourselves how to send talking Patronuses in 4th year. The gorgeous bird flapped its wings, flying through an open window, out of the tower, and down to the grounds. I grabbed another butterbeer and headed downstairs.

"Hey, Rosie."

I turned around, searching for the voice.

"Up here."

Scorpius Malfoy was halfway up the tree, sitting comfortably on a branch.

"Not up for a party tonight?"

"Not really," he replied. "I wanted to come out here before we start classes tomorrow."

"And don't have any time to do anything else for the rest of the year?" I joked.

"Exactly."

He summoned the butterbeers to free my hands, and I began to climb slowly. I'm not really a big tree climber. Scorpius smirked at me as I gave up, sitting on a much lower branch than he was.

"Come on, I'll help you."

He stuck out his hand and pulled me up as I gasped for air.

"So, did you see your cousin and your best friend downthere?" He grinned. He knew I had. He knew it was bothering me, too. I couldn't see how girls, especially Madeleine, who was normally so smart, could fall all over James. He wasn't that great!

"Shut up, Scorpy."

He continued, ignoring the hated nickname. "I bet they get together. They looked pretty- uh, cozy- to me."

"Don't even say that! Madeleine knows how I feel about James's 'fan club'. She would never do that to me."

"Wanna bet?"

"On what?"

"That they get together within the next two months."

"Perfect. Hmm... as the winner, I get..."

"No, no. As the loser, you have to do something... I know! The loser has to tutor Annelise Moon next."

"But it's your turn to tutor her anyway."

"And...?"

"Ok. I've got it. If I lose, I tutor Annelise."

"Twice."

"Fine. I tutor her twice," I shuddered. Annelise was bitchy and couldn't seem to get anything through her head. She was a wannabe follower of Lucinda Crouch, the most evil girl in school. Scorpius and I took turns tutoring her at the request of our Defense teacher Professor Rochester- it would be unfair to make one person deal with that all by himself. "And if I win, you..."

"Will do your Herbology homework for two whole weeks." Herbology was my worst subject. I spent half the time copying Scorpius's homework and the other half failing the class. I had no idea how I'd gotten into NEWT level, but my Mum made me continue. She still didn't quite understand that some classes could be difficult for me. Plus, Professor Longbottom, the Herbology professor, was an old family friend. I grinned. This would be an easy way to pass my worst class.

"Deal."
