I'm so sorry about the long update, but I was on vacation in New York for a week and couldn't get hold of a computer... I know it's a lame excuse, but there really wasn't anything I could do. Oh well... Here's chapter 10! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

Ally POV:

After Rose dragged Scorpius out of the Great Hall, there was an uproar coming from the students. Had Rose Weasley really just willingly asked to speak with Scorpius Malfoy?

I sighed and pushed my scrambled eggs around. Across from me, Talia Thomas and Ciara Finnigan were coming up with more and more outrageous stories as to why Rose had dragged Scorpius outside.

I felt someone slide into the seat next to me that Rosie had just vacated.

"Hey," It was Albus, "I just heard Scorp and Rosie have eloped. Did you know they've been secretly dating behind our backs since Third Year?"

I nodded seriously, "Yep. And Scorpius snuck into his parents' room while they were sleeping to steal his mother's engagement ring, just for our friend Rose."

We stared at each other solemnly for a few moments, before promptly cracking up. Talia, Ciara, and the rest of the Gryffindor table stopped their gossiping to stare at us. And of course, since the Gryffindors were the loudest gossipers in the Great Hall, the rest of the students(and teachers!) noticed and turned to stare at us.

"Looks like we're getting married next," Al whispered in my ear.

I clapped a hand over my mouth, trying desperately to hold in my giggles, and failing miserably. I finally gave up, and let myself laugh to my heart's content.

"Just... don't," I managed to wheeze out between peals of laughter, "Steal your mom's... engagement ring!"

That did it for Albus. He was laughing just as hard, if not more, as me. Everyone was looking at us like we'd grown a second head.

"Today's getting weirder and weirder," Ciara said softly to Silvia Creevey, who was sitting on the other side of her.

Of course, we both heard, and started laughing even harder. I had to wipe a few tears from my eyes.

"Aren't you hungry?" I asked Albus when we calmed down.

"Oh, yeah!" he reached over and grabbed my plate of scrambled eggs, scarfing them down in less than a minute.

"Hey!" I exclaimed. He grinned and piled his plate with more food, and finishing that in less than a minute.

"How come you manage to stay so fit if all you ever do is eat?" Oops. Had I really just said that?

Meanwhile, the entire Great Hall, teachers and students alike, were watching us like we were the most interesting movie they'd ever seen.

Albus smirked at me, "Lady Allyson, I'm flattered. But I'll have you know that I'm the best Seeker Hogwarts has ever seen."

"Your dad was better."

"Oh, really? I can test against that, sweetheart."

I crossed my arms, "How?"

"I, Albus Potter, do hereby invite Lady Allyson Dixie to the Weasley Burrow for Christmas holidays, to witness an ultimate Weasley-Potter Quidditch tournament. The lady is, of course, welcome to play as well," he grinned at me, "So what do you say?"

My face lit up, "Sure! That gets me out of visiting my older sister in America!"

"Great!" Albus looked genuinely pleased at my answer, "Wait. You have an older sister?"

"Yeah," I made a face, "Her name's Caitlin, and she's a total brat. She took after my mother, who's a Muggle, so she has no magical blood. She's always been insanely jealous of me, whether it be my looks, my talent, or my magic. She got married last year and moved to California. Thank Merlin!"

"Well," he slung an arm around me as we got up to go to class, "You're certainly very welcome. Besides," he leaned closer to me, "Maybe I'm hoping we get caught under the mistletoe."

I think my face just turned into a cherry.

Albus POV:

Yes! The Ball, and now holidays! I really am getting lucky.

Well, what do you think? The next two chapters will be the Halloween Ball.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! :)
