Thanks guys! Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the plot, the magnificent JK Rowling does! Plz read and review! All of the characters are the same age in my story!

March 17, 2006, Hogwarts High.

His beautiful, intelligent stormy grey eyes. His charming smile, and his plump pink lips. His platinum blond hair, flashing in the sunlight...

Rose Weasley! What are you doing? No more daydreaming! He's just so beautiful... Well, I'm Rose Weasley, straight A student, also known as a teachers pet. I'm in love with those stunning eyes. Rose! Control yourself brain! Daddy and Mummy will be disappointed if my mind is on anything other than studying... So! Rose! Study study study! Keep your mind on track! But his smile...

"BRRRRINGGGG!" The first bell jolted me out of my daydream. Oh no. It's Monday again. New week, more people who get a chance to laugh at me, Rose Weasley, school nerd. I sighed and tucked my white blouse into my plaid skirt while timidly tiptoeing around campus, feeling invisible.

I groaned as another enormous heavy textbook slipped from my grasp and slid down to the wet grass, getting caked in mud. I bent down, my back hunched from years of lugging heavy textbooks around. I swiped up my book and glanced at my watch. Rubbing my eyes, I yawned. I didn't get much sleep last night, thinking about HIM.

Uh oh. 8:39! One more minute until I'm late! I dashed through the yard and up the stairs and arrived at my form room just as the second bell rang. Phew! I made my way to the last empty seat, right next to a boy with platinum blonde hair. Wait a sec... Platinum blond hair... He swiveled around in his chair and glared at me disgustedly like I was a zit messing up his pale, clear complexion. These same eyes and that beautiful smile that I fell in love with were sneering at me like I was the ugliest thing on the planet, which I was. A handsome jock like him would never date a girl like me!

He scribbled something down, folded it into a paper plane and thrusted it at his jock friends. They tore it open just as I sinked down into my seat, sighing, and grinned at me, sniggering. Did I have a booger on my face? I pushed my thick rimmed glasses up and glared at them, when inside I was cowering in fear.

I was no match for those jocks, those popular kids. They could make my life even more miserable than it already is, which is literally impossible, but they could make it happen. Our form tutor, a grey haired darling who allowed us to call her Ms. McGonagall, called out our names in her feeble and weak voice for registration.

Poor her! I must remember to get her some sweet licorice as soon as possible. "Mis.. Mister Scorpius Mal... Malfoy?" "Here miss." He beamed at her, a real smile, a smile that could light up the whole planet if only he tried. That smile. His eyes reflected exactly what he was feeling, which seemed like he was truly happy right now. He loved Ms. McGonagall, as she was so nice and sweet to them. Oh well, can't say the same for him and some other teachers...

"Oi! Weasley! Malfoy! Crabbe! Goyle! Get over here, slowpokes!" Ugh. Just my luck that first period was P.E. And with that horrid teacher Mr. Firenze too. I pulled my rough scarlet hair into a messy ponytail, very nicely complimenting my huge, baggy gym shirt and loose, almost falling off gym shorts. Insert sarcasm here.

My outfit was nothing compared to the popular girls, the cheerleaders, who wore tight, nice fitting colourful shirts and tight short shorts, with expensive trainers and freshly blown hair, miraculous compared to my rats nest. How I wished to be them! Scorpius wolf whistled at the tallest blonde, earning a smile and flirty wave back. He laid back in victory, winking at her. Oh. That brat! I wish I could be her, flirting with Malfoy!

"Listen up kiddos! Give me two laps!" Firenze shouted. Everyone groaned except for Malfoy and his gang, who took the chance to show off to the pops, sprinting the laps as fast as they could, panting when they were done. I smirked, knowing that they would tire out soon enough, but those brats loved it, applauding and waving at them.

"I hate them so much." A beautiful girl appeared right next to me, but with braces and the thickest glasses I have ever seen. She was decked out in the same style as me, but in a horrid yellow, if I say so myself. She wore stinky dirt brown trainers, which were obviously three sizes too big for her. Oh well. "Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't met you before, what's your name?" Huh? What? "Yes, I'm asking you a question. The one with the beautiful blood red hair. Hello?" Oh! "Um... Hi!" Who the hell was that?

"I'm Lily Potter! What's your name?" Oh! "Um hi! I'm Rose Weasley!" Her eyes widened in amazement. "THE Rose Weasley? Straight A student?" Oh wow. Apparently she did know me. "Yes... I am Rose Weasley." "Ok then! I'm sure we'll be very good friends!" "Um... Okay?" "Let's go then!" We spent the whole lesson just running, and running and still more running...

"Whew! We're finally out of there!" I took this chance at break to study Lily more closely. She had an electric blue streak in her hair, right under her ear, and she wore her tie super long and her skirt super short, with the blouse not tucked it. Wow. What a rebel! How could I be friends with her? Thankfully I didn't have any more classes with her today!

The day droned on and on, until the last bell finally rung. I trudged all the way to my locker, where Malfoy was leaning, talking to some girls, letting them laugh at some stupid joke he made. I stomped up to where my locker was, clearing my throat just when I arrived. He turned around, smirking, and quickly lost his smile when he noticed who it was. He sneered at me, with his eyes rock hard and cold. I quietly whispered, "Um... Excuse me..." He whipped around again, glaring at me. I backed up, just as he smiled victoriously and turned around to talk to those pops for even longer. But the back of his head... His gleaming blond hair... Oh well. I guess I'll have to wait.

After what seemed like forever, he finally left after getting their phone numbers and getting a kiss on the cheek from both of them. He slung his bag over his shoulder and strutted away. What a cute show off. Rose! Rose Rose Rose! Stop thinking about him! Seriously. It's your studies that your worried about! I gripped my bag and pulled as hard as I could, stumbling backwards at the force that propelled me back. A few people sniggered and went on their way.

I hopped on the bus just as it was about to leave, everyone giving me dirty looks for being the reason the bus is late. I did my best to avoid those stares and slumped down in my seat. Finally, some peace and quiet for me to do my homework. I solved all the sums for math easily, cracked the riddle for English in seconds, and completed the worksheet for science, which took no more time than a blink. I'm not bragging or anything, but it was seriously super easy, and I eyed the idiots on this bus who were glaring at me earlier who are now struggling with their sums. Poor them. Not.

When I got home and slumped onto my cushiony chair in my room after saying a hello to my mum, what I saw almost gave me a heart attack!

"Lily! What are you doing on my bed, chomping down a brownie?" There Lily was, just sitting there eating brownies. "Well," she muttered, her mouth full of brownie, "Your mum invited me in after I rang the doorbell, and she passed me a tray of delicious fresh- baked brownies! Mmmmm! Then she told me to wait in your room!" Wow. Wow. Okay. Let me calm down. Breathe in, breathe out. Better.

"So, what are you here for?" I asked, without a trace of enthusiasm. "Well, you remember in gym when you were eyeing Malfoy and the pops?" I was amazed. How did she know? "I have my sources. My eyes and ears!" Ok. I admit, I underestimated her. She knew basically everything in this school, all the gossip and who was with who. "So I saw you staring at the girls. With jealousy, right after Malfoy chatted them up. I know who you like now. No point in hiding it from me." "Yes, you're right. I do likeCup him, but um... Maybe not that much?" "Yes you do. You love him. Now spill."

Oh well, I guess it's time for someone to know my secret, it's not like she didn't know already...
