"Thanks Hagrid." Alice went skipping off after giving her farewells to the thestral and to Rubeus, heading back to her class.
As class returned to order everyone mounted their brooms again, Scorpius now in his upright position, they hovered and used limited movements. Albus had no trouble controlling his broom, easily diving down a foot and rising three, turning his broom to either the left or right. Even being as bold as to do turn a 360˚ circle in mid-air.
Having problems with the turn he was given, Scorpius had a shaky time spinning around. Everything else he had passed easily.
Rose, on the other hand, had a slight more trouble with movements, especially the dive and rise. She took her turn slowly, as not to overdue herself with the small broom riding experience she has had.
Class ended a half an hour later and the four, along with Keira who didn't do so well at flying. They went down to the dungeons again, but this time couldn't get into the common room.
Pilsha stood at the door with her arms crossed, with a friend at either side of her. "Someone changed the password again!"
"Again? When did the first change happen?" Victor had pushed himself past Albus with D.Q. right behind him who shoved Rose to the side.
"Right after Scorpy…"
"Never again."
"Anyway, right after Scorpy and his so-called friends left, I forgot something back in the common room. I went to go get it and it was changed. Now it's been changed again right after class was over!" The blonde girl whined.
Someone laughed inside the common room. "You guys are pathetic." A voice sounded through the door. Victor pushed his way through the crowd with D.Q. behind him, moving the other Slytherins out from Scorpius' path.
"Move it Derek!" D.Q. shoved the other student into a dungeon wall.
"Robin? Is that you? Let us in now." The young Malfoy demanded.
"I don't feel like it!" The black haired girl stretched out on the couch.
"Come on Rob, let us in!" Victor yelled.
"Yeah!" D.Q. shouted as well.
"Fine, fine don't get your knickers in a twist. Password's Marvalo." There was a hallow click as the door swung open. "Happy now?"
"More than when we were out there." Albus found his way through the crowd.
Robin huffed. "Whatever, you're in here now aren't ya?" Scorpius sat with the others of his small group. "What happened to your head?" Robin laid her hand across Scorpius' spiky hair.
"I got into a lot of trouble."
"Ohhhh, okay." The girl went off to her dorm, falling asleep on her given bunk.
Rose sat on a green leather chair beside the blond, watching as the newly found girl left. "Who's she?"
"Girl who visits my family every once and a while, she runs errands from her father to mine and back. Probably knows more about the dark arts than me. Don't see her mum or dad much, never talks about them either. Don't know, I've never seen them myself." Scorpius turned back to D.Q. explaining the potions class to him slowly.
Rose cocked a brow, turning her head to the girls' dormitory. "We'll see about that."
Girls' Dormatory
"Why'd they have to be… ugghhhh." Robin turned with her wand pointed at a vase. "Deprimo." She raised her brow wickedly to a pillow on another's bed. "Diffindo." "Reducto." She heard the door open and she pointed the wand. "Levicorpus."
"Stop." Rose was flipped upside-down, holding down the edges of her uniform's skirt. "Oi, put me back now!"
She looked over Rose with a bit of disgust. "Fine, Liberacorpus." Rose dropped to the floor on her knees.
"Thanks."
"Yeah, what do you want? Coming to get something of yours or just trying to pester the bloody hell out of me?" Robin kept her right hand gripped tightly around her wand. "Well, which is it?"
"Just uhhhh, getting ready for lunch." Rose chuckled nervously, thinking of anything she could pull out of her trunk. "What the bloody hell happened in here? It's like if Peeves had a birthday."
"Letting go a bit." The dark-haired girl looked over her work. "Why, do you have a problem with that?"
Rose backed off, forgetting about what she had come in for. "No, not at all, you just keep doing what you were doing. Okay? Don't mind me at all."
"What's wrong?" Albus asked Rose, she seemed a bit pale. "Something happen in there?"
"Sort of, just the new girl." The red-head looked around the common room in case of a visitor. "She's a scary girl, she is."
"Oh I am, am I?" Robin had come from the dormitory, crossing her arms over her chest, looking a bit ticked. "Maybe you need to learn where your place is, blood traitor."
"No, I'm sorry, took it back already." Rose chuckled nervously again. Albus was froze, intimidated by his fellow first year. Robin walked up to Rose, cracking her knuckles to add fear to the 11 year old Weasley.
"Don't…" Scorpius had gotten up from his conversation with D.Q., warding Robin's attack away from Rose.
She snuffed. "Fine, hardly worth my effort. She might as well be a mudbl…"
"I said don't. And that includes 'don't say that word about her'." Scorpius stood his ground solidly.
Robin looked Scorpius over. "You've not only turned soft on me, but…" She brushed past his ear to whisper to him privately. "You've gotten a little fancy for a blood traitor haven't you?" The dark girl leaned back and looked to the cousins and her neighbor. "I'll see you three later, I assure you."
A/N Sorry for the small extra wait,
I've had a bad case of the flu, with a headache, stuffy nose, sore throat, bad coughing, but I couldn't let you (my wonderful readers) hang out to dry any longer. So here it be, Chapter 13.
Luv ya,
Butterfly
