"Please be quiet class. You are in a lesson!" Professor Johnson (soon to be Weasley) called out. "This is your first ever potions lesson so we will only be taking notes and working out partners today."
Alys and I immediately looked at each other and grinned until Professor Johnson said
"I will be choosing the partners."
A groan ripples through the room.
"You lot should be thankful. When I was at school we had to do potions in the dungeons! Anyway. There will be no changing at all. My choice is final. When I read you and your partners names go and sit by them. Alys & Potter("Just my luck." Alys whispered.) Aurora & Noah, Sam & Freddie, Lucy & Bill, Lizzie & Dean, Sally & Charlie and last but not least Scorpius & Rose. Off you go."
"And you thought you were unlucky Lys!"
"Miss you already!" she called as I walked slowly away.
Could this day get any worse?!
Of course it could. Because I am Rose Weasley!
And I sit next to Charlie Finnegan in Charms and according to Mum he has "Obviously inherited his fathers skills to make anything and everything explode!" Including the feather directly in front of my face! And let me tell you and exploding feather can really hurt!
"How you feeling Rosie Posie?" Yay my cousin was here to comfort me. How exciting. -_-
"Shove off Al. I'm trying to do my homework if you hadn't noticed!"
"No. I'm going to sit right he-" as Al was about to sit down, Alys slid next to me and said
"She said go away Albus!"
"Thanks Lys. He's just so annoying sometimes and after the awful day I've had... ugh! Constantly being paired with Malfoy. Honestly, it's like Professor McGonagall has something against me!"
Almost every teacher had either paired me up with him or put me in a group with him. And most of the pairings were for the whole year!
"We could always ask if you could swap with Al (Alys had been partnered with him all day!)and then..."
"World war 3 would break out. Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy. Are you mad. That's even worse than me and him. Anyways, I've already asked most of the teachers."
After an hour of homework that could be done at a later date I went up to my dorm and got into bed.
