Jason's P.O.V

Albus stood there with his mouth wide open. I was looking from Holly to Albus. I jumped onto the sofa and said to no one in particular, "This is gonna be good." Jamie who was next to me snorted and said, "That's the smartest thing you've said all day."

I smiled, "Thank yo-Hey!" Jamie shushed me and turned to Holly and Albus.

Holly was oblivious to Albus' shock and was brimming with excitement.

Albus took a deep breath and said, "Really?"

Holly nodded and smiled, "It was so out of the blue! He caught up with me as I was coming up the stairs and asked me. At first, I wasn't sure, but then I thought about it and said yes."

Albus' disappointment was extremely visible.

Holly noticed it and said, "What's wrong, Al?"

He shook his head. "Nothing."

Please. As if Holly would let him get by with that.

Holly put her hands on her hips and said in a stern voice, "Albus Severus Potter, you tell me what's bothering you right now or I'll hex you into Kingdom Come."

I would have laughed, seeing as Albus was getting bossed around by a girl a foot shorter than him, but I'd seen Holly with a wand. You do not want to mess with her.

Al sighed. "Don't hex me but...I don't think that you should go out with Scorpius."

Oh, Al. Will you ever learn?

Holly raised an eyebrow, "Excuse me?"

I was shaking my head vigorously and mouthing 'Leave' to Albus while wildly gesticulating. But of course, he ignored my life-saving advice.

He shrugged, "It's just that...there's something about him. I just don't trust him."

I could see smoke coming out of Holly's ears.

"Well I do! AND I DON'T REMEMBER ASKING FOR YOUR OPINION!"

Now the entire common room was staring at them. I wouldn't be surprised if people in the Hufflepuff common room could hear them.

Albus was starting to get angry.

"Well, EXCUSE ME for looking out for you!"

"YOU DON'T NEED TO! SCOR WON'T HURT ME!

"FINE! JUST DON'T COME CRYING TO ME WHEN HE BREAKS YOUR HEART!"

Albus turned on his heel and stormed up the stairs. Holly took out her wand and clenched it firmly. I exchanged a look with Jamie. She understood and ran to Holly. She tried to take the wand from her hand.

"Holly, calm down. You'll curse him and then you'll regret it. Relax. Give me the wand."

Holly's expression didn't change, but she handed Jamie the wand and stormed off into the girl's dormitories. Jamie sighed and walked back to me. Her red hair glittered because of the common room fire.

By now everyone had turned back to their own conversations. Jamie shook her head.

"Will they ever change?", she asked me.

I shrugged, "You know them. They'll be friends again in the morning."

She nodded and started to walk back to her dorm. I don't know why, but I asked, "Hey, do you have a date for Hogsmeade yet?"

She looked back, and maybe it was just a trick of the light, but I could've sworn she looked hopeful.

"No. Why?"

Why did I ask her that?

I swallowed and said, "No reason."

She looked a tad disappointed but I shrugged it off. She walked up the stairs and went to her dormitory.

I sighed and plopped onto the couch.

What just happened?

Holly's P.O.V.

I woke up in the morning with an empty mind and a happy mood. Then I remembered last night.

Oh crap.

My mind was swimming with flashes of Albus' face. The sheer anger and hurt there made me want to go and apologize.

I shrugged it off. I wouldn't apologize until Albus did. How is who I date his business? He should just trust my judgement.

I thought back to when Scor asked me. It was so unexpected. After all these years at Hogwarts, our relationship had gradually diminished. There were some secret smiles and looks shared, but mainly he acted as though I didn't exist. The only time when he was himself and would actually talk to me, was when he was alone, without his friends, but that hardly ever happened. When he asked me to go to Hogsmeade, I saw it as an opportunity to repair our relationship and said yes.

But Albus will never know that. Ever.

Albus' P.O.V.

I hardly even slept. Stupid Holly and stupid Scorpius. They could get married and I wouldn't care. Why would she go out with him anyway? It's probably just a one-time thing. It's not as though they are going to get married, right?

Should I apologize? No. It's Holly's fault. I won't apologize until she does.

I turned over in my bed and saw Jason brooding over something on his bed. He had been like that since the end of last year. I didn't press him for information. He would tell me when he was ready. I had my own problems to worry about.

Jason walked over to my bed and dragged me out of the covers and pushed me into the bathroom.

"Breakfast is in five minutes! I'll leave without you if you aren't out on time. I NEED my bacon!"

Breakfast was...interesting.

Jason and I entered the Great Hall, grabbed something to eat (Jason made a beeline for the bacon) and begun to look for a seat. Before I could say anything, Jason pulled me towards where Holly, Jamie and Rose were sitting. Holly looked up when we sat and for a brief moment her eyes met mine. The hurt, anger and frustration I was feeling was reflected there. I wondered why did she care so much that I'd insulted Scorpius.

Why did she care?

We sat down opposite Holly and Jamie. Rose was sitting on my right.

"HOLLY!"

The entire hall turned to the source of the noise. Holly sank into her seat. James ran up to Holly and gave her a huge bear hug. Holly, who had a spoonful of cereal in her mouth, patted his back. I laughed at the sight, which earned me a glare from Holly.

"Holls! I haven't seen you in ages!"

Holly swallowed and put the spoon on the table.

"You saw me two days ago!"

James shrugged,"Albus was ranting about you the entire time. I'm just glad that he won't anymore."."

Insert awkward silence.

James noticed it and turned to Jason.

"What's going on?"

Jason looked a bit uncomfortable. Holly and I were glaring at him. James grinned and asked,"Did Albus finally snog Holly?"

Jamie started choking and Rose started giggling uncontrollably.

Jason said,"Um...They sort of had a huge fight."

James came to a realization. "That's what I heard last night. I thought it was Peeves!"

I rolled my eyes at him and turned to Rose, who had now calmed herself.

"Will you please do your adorable brother a favor?", I asked her with big puppy-dog eyes.

She considered it. "Depends on what I have to do."

"Will you please write my Potions essay?"

She shook her head. "It took me a month to write mine. You're on your own for this."

Holly's P.O.V.

Two weeks passed by too quickly. Albus and I continued to ignore each other, and our friends were torn in between. James fruitlessly tried again and again to get us to make up. I met Scor almost every day. With the amount of homework Fifth Years were given, most of our nights were spent in the library, absorbing as much information as possible.

I woke up on Saturday morning, and immediately recalled last night. Scor and I were studying in the library, and when we got up to leave, we almost kissed. But then Madam Pince threw us out.

I took a deep breath. I had to get ready!

I woke Jamie up and she started squealing.

She started throwing clothes at me. After three wardrobe changes, I ended up wearing a white T-Shirt, blue jeans and white ballet flats.

Jamie put her hand on her heart,

"I feel like a proud mother. Now go and knock his socks off!"

I laughed, grabbed a denim shrug and left the room. I ran out of the portrait hole, and banged into someone.

I looked up and saw a pair of green eyes looking at me. Albus gave me a once-over.

"Going to Hogsmeade?"

I nodded.

He opened his mouth to say something, and then decided against it. He brushed past me into the common room. I stood there for a while. Then I shook my head, and walked to the Entrance Hall. It was swarming with people finding their friends and dates. I spotted Scor near the gate and made my way to him.

He looked adorable. He was wearing a blue button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, jeans and black shoes.

"Hey."

He looked up.

"Hey. You look great."

"Thanks. So do you."

He held out his hand.

"Come on."

I took his hand, and we ran to Hogsmeade, laughing all the way.

We started walking around, going into random shops. Around lunchtime, we were strolling out of Honeydukes.

"I'm starting to get hungry. Where do you want to go?"

He turned to me.

"Anywhere's fine."

He thought a bit. "I'm guessing that you aren't a Madam Puddifoot's girl?"

I let out a sigh of relief.

"You have no idea how glad I am that you said that."

He laughed, "So...The Three Broomsticks?"

I smiled. "Sounds perfect."

We went into the Three Broomsticks. We found an empty booth and sat in it. The date went amazing, but I could help but feel as though someone was watching me.

Scor swallowed a bite of his meal.

"So Holly, what's with you and Potter?"

Which Potter is he talking about? James or He-Who-Is-An-Idiot?

"Nothing. James and I are always like this."

He gave me a look.

"The other Potter."

I knew it.

"We're in a small fight, that's all."

Scor looked at me.

"Holly, I'm not going to ask what the fight was about, but I am going to tell you that you should either apologize or forgive him. You two are best friends. Don't ruin that over a small fight!"

He was right.

"You know Scor, that is probably the reason you became a Prefect. You have something to say for every little thing."

He gave me a look.

"So...are you going to forgive him?"

I took a deep breath.

"Yes."

And so when we were about to leave the restaurant, I was in a much better mood...until I noticed Albus sneaking away outside the window. Judging from how he was sneaking away, he had probably been hiding near the window of the booth. I narrowed my eyes and stormed out of the restaurant. I heard Scor following me, but I didn't stop. I walked to Albus.

"Were you just spying on us, Albus?"

He looked down and started ruffling his hair.

"Well...", he started.

"Ugh!"

Scorpius' P.O.V

Holly stormed off into Honeydukes.

I turned to Albus, who was looking very guilty.

I patted his shoulder.

"I convinced her to forgive you, but mate, you just screwed it up."
