Chapter 3

An urgent Owl

We met in the Common Room and walked off to the hall meeting Anna and Harvey at the table. As soon as I sat down a flock of Owls flew into the room swarming over the tables of children. Selena landed in a bowl of cornflakes splashing them all over the other Slytherins.

"Control that Bird!" Sophie glowered at us. Scorpius turned to me and mimicked her in a high pitched whiny voice.

"Control that bird!" she stared icily at us and turned to Tala Higgs and started muttering furiously. "And, he's supposed to be my brother but he chooses some Potter girl over me!" I heard he whisper.

"Drama queen!" Scorpius said as he took the note from Selena's beak. He handed it to me and gave the Owl a piece of bacon. I stroked her feathers before she flew off, with the other Owls to the Owlery. I saw the scrawled hand-writing of my dad and ripped it open.

Lilly,

We will be going to the Dursly's for Christmas and I know you want to stay at school with Scorpius but I've contacted Draco and he has arraigned for Scorpius to come home as well. No arguing because your cousins want to see you. I'm sorry and I'll pick youup at the platform.

Love Harry Potter (your dad) xxx

I scowled at the note and looked up to see Scorpius reading over my shoulder.

I frowned at the paper and willed it to be a prank. When nothing happened I turned to Scorpius.

"Sorry Scorp, guess I'm going home for Christmas!"

"Ahh don't fret I'll be okay it's not like my dad beats me. Well he doesn't but my brothers do." He smiled at what was probably a privet joke.

"Right," I breathed, "its Saturday we go home next week! Yay. Um then back in two weeks. Let's go to the library and start on our homework!"

"Why?"

"Cause I have nothing to do." I said picking up my bag flinging it over my shoulder and waiting for him to follow. We sat down and started on our Herbology Write a detailed essay on the plant Holly Pine. I picked up a book and started reading.

…Holly Pine is only found in the U.K. It has a tendency to only come out in the winter and grows in Dark forests. It has venom in its petals that can paralyze the body in seconds. If you come in contact with its red thorns then the poison will go into your blood and shock your vessels leaving you in severe pain. You can identify this plant by its red thorns and its Chrystal petals. The petals hold liquor that can bring strength back to you.

I read and wrote. After about an hour I got bored and noticed Scorpius was very annoyed at something. I looked at him and he pointed to a group of girls behind me. They were a group of Ravenclaw and they giggled constantly, sending kisses and eye lash flutters to Scorpius. I glared at them and switched seats with Scorpius so he was no longer facing them. I looked up at the sulking girls and rolled my eyes.

"So are you dating then?" Scorpius shot around.

"NO!" we both shouted in unison.

"Well I think you'd make a great couple!" my eyes widened and I looked at my best friend. He was sniggering and full of the giggles. His green eyes were full of nerves.

"Um why would you think that?" I asked.

"Well last night you where dancing and you just looked so nice together."

"Yeah right by the time we're dating pigs will fly!" Scorpius scoffed; I looked strait into his eyes there was a flash of something that I couldn't quite make out but it was gone within a second. I flushed red at the girl's remarks and Scorpius started to laugh. I glared at him but he kept laughing.

"Well to me it looks like your dating but if your not..." she eyed Scorpius and squished down next to him. He looked at me his eyes whispering 'Help me!' I thought for a moment there was only one way to get her to go away.

"Stop!" I said to the girl.

"Let me guess you want my name? Well it's Molly!" I put on a pretend glare.

"No I do not want to know your name! I know that!" I huffed. She looked up startled then smiled.

"Why?" she pouted.

"Because," this was it the thing to get her to go away, Scorp you owe me BIG TIME! "We are going out!" I rushed. Her eyes widened and she gasped.

"Oh my God! (No Offence to religious peeps! just thought i might put it out there that i care!) A Malfoy and a Potter! Is that even allowed?!" she squealed.

"What do you mean?! Anyway I only said that to-," but she'd already gone off. I looked scared.

"That was Molly Clearwater! She is the biggest gossiper in the school!" Scorpius stood up in an instant. "The whole school will know by tomorrow. We need to-,"

"LILLY LUNA POTTER!" I turned to see James.

I.

Was.
