I'm back! With the next update Yeah, it was my ball last night (so much fun!) and I got food poisoning lol so im stuck in bed with too much time on my hands :) so that means its time to update!

Read & Review!

Disclaimer: JKR beat me to it :P

Scorpius' POV

Ah that Mariah, she is such a laugh! And that accent, woah… There's just something about Australian accents that make girls twice as attractive. I think Al thinks I've gone crazy, which I guess is understandable. I've only known her for half a day and already I feel like we're meant to be.

But, of course, I won't let anyone know this. It would make me look bad. The girls are supposed to fall for me! Anyway, she's leaving soon so I mustn't grow too attached.

Supper was amazing. We just clicked.

"So, are you gonna come watch the Quidditch game tomorrow? It's Slytherin vs Ravenclaw, easy win."

"Quidditch, whats that?"

I gape at her in disbelief. How can any witch or wizard not know what Quidditch is? "Don't you have it in Australia?"

"Nope," she says, "The only sport we play is Gudder. It's like golf, but the ball is actually a goblin and our clubs are actually wands. Some of those goblins can be such a pain, really. Running away from the hole when you 're so close to winning…"

Again, I gape at her, but for a different reason. Those Australians are too bizarre!

"Woah, okay you definitely need to watch the game tonight! I cant really explain how it goes, but there's two teams, a quaffle, a golden snitch, two bludgers –"

"Bludgers? Seriously?" Mariah interrupts me mid-sentence.

"Uh, yeah. Why?"

"In Australia," Mariah begins, "Bludgers are lazy people."

Yeah, okay, Australians really are bizarre!

Unsure of what to say to that, I change the subject back to the game tomorrow. "So, are you keen?"

Al's POV

Is she here? Ohhh I hope she is. I hope she came to watch the game today. If she doesn't, I'll be so upset.

It's the only thing I have to look forward to right now. Things between me and Scorpius aren't exactly great after last night. I cant believe he was such a dick. He knows I have heaps to live up to. I almost wish that my dad was Draco Malfoy, because then you don't exactly have anything to live up to at all! Today's game should be interesting!

"Hey Al," I see a smiling Bex standing behind me.

"Uh, um, hi Bex," I say awkwardly, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Rose and Josie. Haven't seen them yet today!"

"Oh," I say, crestfallen. "Maybe they're with Mariah? Showing her around school?"

"Ha, Mariah?" Bex snorted, "She's with Scorpius."

Hmm looks like he doesn't need my help after all.

"And I'm sure Rose would rather die than associate with Scorpius more than necessary."

There's a bit of an awkward silence, so I try to fill it.

"So, The Lazy Goblins are playing in Hogsmeade tonight, wanna come? I've heard that they're pretty good. For goblins."

Uh oh, Bex looks horrified! "On – on a date? With you?"

I shrug and look away. I'm such a tosser, I shouldn't have asked.

"Oh, sorry Al. I don't really like you… in that way."

I nod awkwardly and stare at my broomstick. Now this game is going to be twice as terrible. Every time I look into the crowd and see Bex standing there, looking at me like the loser I am, I will be crying on the inside.

Josie's POV

Wow. Slytherin have never lost this badly since, well, forever! I didn't even think it was possible. Poor Scorpius. I mean, it's obvious that they lost because of him. He just couldn't concentrate, I'm certain he was always searching the crowd for me.

I think he just needs to accept the fact that he needs me, but he hurt me. So he needs to fix that.

And I'm not the only one with boy troubles at the moment. Poor Bex! I cant even imagine how awkward it would be to turn down Albus. He's such a sweetie anyway! I would have said yes, even though I don't like him that way.

Rosie's POV

Right now I am filled with a mixture of emotions. Happiness that Slytherin failed their Quidditch match because now that means Gryffindor has a good chance of winning the cup. Annoyance that Mariah seems to be spending all her time with loserface, and yes I am referring to Malfoy. Sadness that Bex turned down poor little Al.

And the worst is the one about Mariah! I feel really bad, because she's m y cousin. But really, forming an alliance with your cousin's worst enemy? WHOSE SIDE IS SHE ON?

I can't stand it. Every time they walk past, Malfoy puts his arm around her shoulder and sneers in my direction. I really do hate that git.

Thank goodness she's only staying for three more days. If it were anymore I think I should die.

Sigh. Seventh year is the pits.

There you go!

Now review please and I will be very happy!
