Albus POV

As expected, our first night back at Hogwarts was amazing. After a delicious meal of steak, roast chicken, shepherd's pie, mashed potatoes, and pudding, everyone walked back to their dorms stuffed. As we flopped on our beds, Orion looked towards me as he said, "Ready to start school again?"

I groaned. "Don't remind me. Rose has already done that all break."

"Oof."

"Yeah, you said it," I replied. Soon I fell asleep.


Ava POV

"Finally, you woke up," Rose said, buttering her toast.

"Thanks for waiting for me to get ready," I replied, sitting down next to her, "Besides, only you and Scorp are excited to start school."

"Hey!" Scorp exclaimed, "I like a break just like any other bloke."

"But you like school more than any other bloke," Orion said, "That's why you're a Ravenclaw."

"School is fun. Not always but still, it is," Cleo casually said.

"Seriously?!" Orion asked, beating me to it.

"See?" exclaimed Scorp.

"I also think school's a nuisance," Ava piped in.

"2 versus 1," I said, shoving it in Scorp's face.

"You clearly can't count, Cleo also said that school's fun."

"She said, "School is fun. Not always but still," something like that. Key word, "not always." So she isn't really on your side."

"Oh why did I even speak?" moaned Cleo.

"Al? Rose? Del?" Scorp asked.

"I basically agree with what Cleo said," responded Al.

Rose just shrugged her shoulders as she said, "Can we just eat breakfast?"

"Please," groaned Del, "I'm sick of all of y'all talking this early in the morning. You guys are going to give me a headache."

"Well, Del, do you have anything to say about the matter? Y'know, how you view school?" Al asked, now focusing on her, ignoring what she previously said about a headache.

"School's school. Now will you guys just chill for once?"

"Blame it on Ava," Rose responded, munching on her toast.

"Hey!" I yelled.

"It's true…" Cleo said cautiously.

I rolled my eyes and decided to just drop the topic. "Either way," I started, "Aren't you guys excited for Easter?"

Scorp at that moment spat out the tiny sip of milk he drank. "Already?!" he asked, shocked.

"Yeah, that's a little too far away," admitted Orion.

I just grinned. "Duh, I was just joking," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Seems like something you would say."

"Seriously, eat. We. Are. Going. To. Be. Late. Especially you Ava. You came

late," said Rose, taking a bit of her toast.

"Fine," I said, rolling my eyes.


Orion POV

"Hey Mr. I-hate-school," greeted Scorp, grinning with the stupidest smile stretched across his face.

I groaned and sat down next to him. "It's bad enough that we had a tiny version of that debate during breakfast but you just had to bring it into lunch too!"

"I just have to say that I am winning the debate."

"Oh shut up."

Ava walked into our Charms classroom and took the seat across the aisle from me. "Let me guess, based on Orion's pissed off face and Scor's glow, you two are still arguing about whether school sucks or rocks, right?"

"Yep!" confirmed Scor.

"Ava, please tell this weirdo that school's not as great as he makes it out to be."

Ava gave me a wicked grin as she said, "I may have defended you at breakfast but I'm just going to stop contributing to this argument."

"Wait, you're just leaving me alone?! Well, either way Scor, Ava also doesn't like school! She said so herself at breakfast so aren't you going to argue with her?!"

"Nah, she was smart enough to not argue with me so I'm giving her a free get-out-of-this-situation card."

I sunk down in my seat groaning as everyone else walked in.
