Robyn's alarm rang at eight o'clock that morning. She moaned and turned over.

She and Laura had stayed up until five in the morning, and three hours was definitely not enough sleep. She put the alarm on for eight in case she slept in and it didn't happen much.

Finally, Robyn gathered up her small amount of energy, stumbled over to Laura's bed, bumping into everything on her way, and started to shake her.

"Laura," she muttered, too tired to use her voice box.

"Laura!"

"LAURA!" She yelled in a really raspy voice.

Laura shot up and said, "The flying bananas are after me and Draco!"

"Er-Laura... it's eight o'clock in the morning on a school day. You and Malfoy are NOT being chased by flying bananas," Robyn said slowly, "Now get up. We have an hour to eat breakfast."

"Oh... right," Laura said, feeling stupid.

They raced to get to the shower and Robyn got it first since she was a little more awake.

At breakfast that morning, Laura and Draco were flirting like crazy. It made Robyn want to throw up. They were blowing kisses at each other and winking like they had something stuck in their eye.

Robyn looked to her left, away from Laura and Draco, and saw James only four seats away. He was surrounded by a large group of girls and guys, laughing and talking with each other.

Robyn sighed, remembering what happened the night before.

At ten minutes to eight, she and Laura left for Transfiguration.

When they walked past the large group of 7th years, a really good looking blonde boy tugged on her robe.

"Hey, Robyn!" he said, "Is it true you broke up with Ron?"

"Er-yeah... why?" Robyn asked, feeling nervous and turning red.

"And he cheated on you with Hermione Granger?"

"Er-yeah, it is..." Robyn said, feeling really awkward and added,"Why do you want to know?"

"Well, we just wanted to see if the rumours were true," he said, "And to tell you someone close by fancies you."

Robyn's heart leaped. As you can see, she falls fast for guys. She saw James' face turning red and she tried hard not to smile.

"Well, ok... see you later then," she said awkwardly.

"Yeah, Robyn!" Laura congratulated, holding out a hand for her to slap.

"Well, I don't even know if he likes me," Robyn said truthfully, "I can't get my hopes up."

"Robyn, I saw his face! It was, like, maroon!" Laura laughed, then spotted Draco, "Ooh, yay! ... Hey, Dracykinns!"

Robyn jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Oh, it's only you," Robyn sighed.

"Only me? Jee thanks," Harry said.

They began to walk to Transfiguration.

"So, what's the deal with the James guy?" he asked.

"Oh, there's nothing going on," Robyn said.

"Well, let me know if there is," Harry said, clenching his fists.

Robyn laughed, "You sound just like Ron."

She winced and slapped her elastic band.

"I'm sorry," she said.

"Yeah, you should be," Harry said, "That's the last person I want to sound like."

Robyn smiled and said, "Anyways, I'm going to have to switch seats with someone."

"I'm sure Neville will be glad to switch with you," Harry said, "You know he fancies you."

Robyn smiled, "Yeah, I know... he asked me out, you know."

"Really? I didn't think he'd have the guts."

"Yeah, it surprised me too," she said, "Well, I told him I couldn't because I was still trying to get over Ron."

"Oh, I see..."

They reached the classroom by then. Robyn spotted Neville in his usual spot and rushed over.

"Hey!" she said cheerfully.

"Oh, hey," he said, turning pink.

"Um... would you mind if we switched seats? I don't really feel like sitting next to Ron."

"Oh, right, I understand. Sure," he mumbled.

"Thank-you so much!" Robyn smiled.

She sat down happily. She was by the stairs to her left and to her right, the seat was empty. She began to doodle in her notebook of parchment, writing James Prsalla loves Robyn Potter all over a page when he heard a very familiar cold drawl.

"Let me through, Potter," Draco Malfoy, her former brother, was standing over her.

Blood rushed to her cheeks and she quickly closed her notebook.

"Don't tell me you sit here. I thought you'd be sitting with your girlfriend, Laura," Robyn snarled.

"No. She sits with your disgraceful brother, Potter," Malfoy insulted.

"Take that back," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.

"No," he said with a smirk.

She pulled out her wand.

"Better brother than you ever were," she said.

"Oh, please. Like you'd actually curse me right in front of-"

"Tarantallegra!" she casted, waving her wand.

"Ow!" he repeated it over and over as his body was trying to dance in the desk.

"Miss Potter!" Professor McGonagall came into the classroom, "That is against the rules. Five points from Gryffindor."

She didn't bother to use the counter curse, so it had to wear off.

That night before dinner, Robyn sat in the common room, finishing up her homework on the couch in front of the fire. It was hard to concentrate with the seventh years hanging around her, asking questions. James wasn't there, though. Probably Head Boy duties.

"So, whatcha' doing?" a tall and thin girl asked.

"Homework," Robyn said, erasing her last answer in frustration, leaving a mark. She was trying to finish her Charms question sheet in peace, but it was impossible with them there.

"It doesn't look like it's going to get finished tonight," a black haired boy remarked, recognisable from the library.

"Hmm, now why would that be?" Robyn said sarcastically, glaring at him.

"I don't know," he said, taken aback.

Robyn rolled her eyes and walked huffily out of the common room to the nice, quiet library with her homework. It was only five o'clock and in an hour, she'd be eating in The Great Hall with James. She snapped out of her daydream when her eyes drifted down to her pile of homework that had to be done before dinner.

After she finished her question sheet, her Divination chart and her History of Magic essay, it was only 5:45, so she began to drift along the bookshelves in search for a good book.

"What are you looking for?"

A voice behind her made her jump. She turned around and saw that it was James.

"Oh, um..." Robyn said, turning pink, "Just a book."

James smiled, "Yes, I know that. But what kind?"

Robyn felt stupid and was angry at herself for being embarrassed about nothing, "Just one that catches my eye."

"Oh... well, may I suggest..." James sed, fingers running along the books, "This?"

He pulled out a small, thin book called, Book of Shadows. By Cate Tiernan.

"Oh, please," Robyn said with a laugh, "I'm not your average air head. Something more challenging than that."

"Oh, really?" James said, "You can't be pretty and intellegent."

Robyn smiled and looked down to hide her face. He wasn't at all like Ron. In fact, he was the complete opposite.

She slapped her elastic band hard and said weakly, "Well, thanks for the help."

She looked away and mouthed, OW! and turned back to him with a straight face.

"No problem," James smiled, looking into her eyes.

Even though his eyes were blue, they seemed warm and kind.

"So, you're James, right?" Robyn asked, breaking the silence.

"Well, everyone calls me Jamie," he said.

"Oh, right..." Robyn said, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"So, uh... why don't we go to dinner?" he said, pink faced.

"Alright," she replied, keeping her smile.

When they stepped into The Great Hall, they could hear snickers from the group of seventh years and a few sixth years from the Gryffindor table.

She was walking towards Harry and Ginny a little farther down the table when Jamie grabbed her hand.

"Wait... sit with us," he said.

She blushed at the feel of his hand. It was softer than Ron's and alot less clammy.

"Oh, alright," Robyn said, butterflies tickling her stomach. She sat down next to him and next to the blonde boy that talked to her that morning.

"Alright, so this is Ben, Mike, Shahn, Nick, Phil and Kenny," Jamie said, pointing to each of them.

"Hey," they greeted in unison.

She just smiled.

"So, uh... you guys going out?" Mica asked. She had long, silky black hair that hung past her elbows and brown eyes. She reminded Robyn of her old friend she met while modeling, Kayla.

"Oh, no, not really..." Jamie and Robyn tried to explain.

"Right... well, what are you then?" Shahn asked, grinning. He looked a lot like Jamie but skinnier and weaker.

"Well, um..." Jamie trailed off looking at Robyn for help.

"We're kind of just getting to know each other," she said, "So, uh... we're not really anything yet."

"Ah hah! Not yet!" Nick said, pointing at nothing. He had short black hair and glasses and reminded Robyn of Harry.

For the rest of dinner, everyone kept asking her questions. Things like, "What's it like living with the Malfoys?" or "How come you stopped modeling to go to school?"

After dinner, Harry and Ginny caught up to Robyn.

"Hey!" Harry waved.

"How'd it go?" Ginny asked eagerly.

Robyn laughed, "Pretty good. I got interviewed by his friends the entire time... but other than that, good."

"Oh, yay! I can't wait until you guys go out!" Ginny said.

"Hey... what are you guys talking about?"

Jamie appeared beside Robyn.

"Oh, nothing much," Ginny laughed nervously, "We'll leave you two alone then."

Ginny pulled Harry with her as she pushed through the crowd. Harry turned his head and glared at Jamie, making Robyn slap her elastic band.

"Hey," Jamie said.

"Hey," Robyn replied, "Your friends seem nice."

"Er-thanks," Jamie said.

He was cut short by his friend, Mike, who put his arm around each of them from behind.

"Hey, lovebirds!" he said.

"What do you want, Mike?" Jamie said, shooting daggers at him.

"What? I just wanted to say hi... jeez," Mike said, taking his arm off his friend, "So, Robyn, how would you like to-"

"No," Robyn interrupted, taking off his arm with her hand.

Jamie laughed.

"Fine. I know when I'm not wanted," Mike said, rushing over to the next group of people.

"He's so sad," Jamie said, shaking his head.

"A hopeless case," Robyn said, laughing with him.

They walked awkwardly up to the common room and stopped before seperating to their Dorms.

"Well, it was nice meeting you," Jamie said.

"You too," Robyn said.

"So I'll see you tomorrow," he said, walking slowly backwards to his staircase as she was.

"Yeah, definetly," she replied.

That night, Robyn had alot of trouble getting to sleep.
