"Hugo, get your ass into this car right now!" I yell. "We're going to be late!"
Hugo comes running and throws himself onto the seat next to me. "Sorry, but I couldn't find my wand."
"Where was it, darling?" Mom asks.
"In my pocket." Hugo gives me a glare when I sneer.
"Then let's get going." Dad says. "The Potters are probably already there."
And he was right.
"What took you so long?" Aunt Ginny asks.
"Hugo couldn't find his wand." I tell her and give her a hug. "Hey Albus!"
"Rosie! Good to see you girl." Albus opens his arms to give me a huge hug. "How was French?"
"It was great Al. How was your summer? Have you gotten taller? Merlin, I've missed you!" I grin.
"One question at a time Rose," he laughs. "It was great, only you weren't there. And yes I have gotten taller." He grins proudly. "I've missed you so much too!"
"Guys, it's only been two months." Uncle Harry laughs and hugs me tightly.
"Yeah, well, it felt like two years." I laugh and hug Al again.
"The train is leaving in two minutes guys. You better get going."
I hug Harry and Ginny and turn to my parents.
"Good luck honey! Have fun and study hard!" My mother wipes her tears away and hugs me.
"Yeah Rosie dear, give them hell." My father laughs and hugs me too.
Hugo has already left to find his friends. Me and Al wave them goodbye and go find ourselves an empty compartment.
"So, how are you and Angelina doing?" I ask.
"We're good, I think." He smiles. "How about you and David?"
"Nah, me and Slater haven't talked since he cheated on me in the beginning of summer." I tell him.
"Yeah, I heard about that. Let me tell you, he will get hexed." He grins.
"Don't worry, Al. I've already taken care of that one myself."
"That's my girl!" Al smiles widely. "Since you're Head Girl now, I was hoping you still had some senses. Looks like you do."
"Which reminds me, I have a meeting with the Head Boy and the Prefects. I'll be back in half an hour."
I walked down the corridor too the compartment where the meeting was supposed to be held. I feel excided to meet the Head Boy, since we will be sharing the same common room. That's why I'm surprised when I enter the compartment to find none other than Scorpius Malfoy there. I should have seen it coming. We both get the highest marks in our classes and the teachers love him. Malfoy hasn't seen me so I wipe the surprise off my face in a hurry. When he notices me I can see he was not expecting to see me there.
"You're Head Girl." He states baffled. "Should have seen it coming." He mumbles.
"Yeah Malfoy, you should have since I'm the smartest girl in our year." I roll my eyes.
The rest of the meeting consists of glares and ice cold silence between us.
When I get back to my compartment Al isn't alone.
"Slater." I say coldly.
"Oh, hey Rose." David says . I can tell he is full of shame. Albus doesn't look happy.
"Do you need anything?" I ask him.
"I would like to talk to you, if you're not busy." He looks at Al who sends him a death glare.
"Sure, let's talk outside."
I close the door behind us and he leads me to a empty compartment.
"What do you want?"
He hesitates and looks down at the floor.
"David," he looks up and I continue. "I don't have all day."
"I just wanted to say sorry." He mumbles.
I look at him, angry. "Seriously? You're going to mumble that to me?"
He looks me straight in the eye. "I really am sorry for what I did to you Rose."
That's why I fell for him in the first place. He can look me in the eye and tell me how he feels. I can see he means what he just told me.
"It's OK." I sigh.
"I'm really, really, really sorry Rose." He says and puts his arms around me. I hug him back. We stand there in silence for a while. He kisses me on my forehead. We pull away and smile at each other.
"I hope we can still be friends, Rose." I nod and smile.
"Of course, David."
Someone enters the compartment. Scorpius and Kimberly Donovan. Snogging. Figures. They haven't noticed us yet and I look at David. He looks at me and we burst out laughing. Malfoy and Donovan jump apart and Donovan lets out a squeak.
"Well, isn't this awkward." I state.
"Weasley, why do you always have to be where I am?" Malfoy asks annoyingly.
"I could ask you the same thing Malfoy. Beside, we were here first."
"Yes well, we are going to leave before you two go farther than snogging." David says chuckling and leads me out.
"Well, I'll see you around David." I smile at him.
"Yeah, see ya Rose!" He turns around and walks away. I sigh and go to Albus who is waiting for me.
"So?" He asks.
"So what?" I ask in return.
"What did he want?" Al asks impatiently.
"He came to say sorry and to ask if we could still be friends."
"And?"
"I told him it was OK and of course we could be friends."
"Are you serious?" Al jumps up and yells at me. "You're way too forgiven Rose! He cheated on you."
"Yes, I know Al. But he really meant what he said."
"Merlin's beard Rose!" He sits down and shakes his head. "Well, I haven't forgiven him for treating my favorite cousin like that."
"Al, chill. You're starting to sound more and more like dad!" I roll my eyes and then grin at him. We sit in silence for a few minutes. Then Al finally breaks it.
"So, who's Head Boy?"
I grunt. "Malfoy."
"Really?" Al laughs. "And you'll be sharing a common room with each other!"
"Yeah, it's funny now, but it won't be funny when one of us will be in Azkaban for killing the other."
"I'm so going to enjoy this!"
"You should have seen Malfoy's face when he figured I was Head Girl. It was priceless." I laugh.
"Yeah, I can imagine it." Al laughs with me.
All of sudden the door slides open.
"Speaking of the devil." Al smirks.
"Can I have a word Weasley?" Malfoy asks coldly. I follow him out and into the same empty compartment we were in just a few minutes from now.
"OK, look." Malfoy starts. "If we are going to let this work we must have like, some rules."
I chuckle. "And those rules are?"
"You are not allowed in my dorm and there will not be more than one Weasley or Potter in our common room a time."
"Seriously, Malfoy? Do you really think that I'll go by any of your so called rules?"
"You better." He threatens and takes a step closer.
"Or what?" I challenge.
"Or I'll make your life like hell." He smirks.
"But you already do, Malfoy." Now it's my turn to smirk. He hisses and I walk out the compartment.
"Weasley." He calls after me. "I'm not done talking to you."
I spin around. He was much closer than I thought. We both are thrown on the floor.
"Ouch." Malfoy grumbles beneath me. I try to roll of him but my hair is struck in the buttons of his shirt. "Weasley, I know I'm stunning but would you mind getting off me?"
"Don't flatter yourself Malfoy. My hair is stuck. "
"Let me see." Malfoy growls and starts to release my hair from his shirt. "There."
I stand up blushing and turn to look at him. "Malfoy, you won't be putting any rules." And walk away.
