"Ahhh!"

"Scorpius, that was my good quill!"

"Sorry..."

"What's happened?"

"Ugh, Rose and I were in the Library"

"And that's bad because?"

"Well, I'll go from the beginning-"

"Ugh"

"So I asked Rose to study like you told me, and was polite like you told me. And it worked, but she was waiting for stupid Wood. Well, I thought he wouldn't be there for a while so I stayed. She needed a book so we got up and went to find it, Living Death or something. So we ended up apologising to each other, which was what I wanted. So she found her book but couldn't reach it, so I went to get it for her. We were literally this close to kissing-"

"Wait, how did you get from getting a book for her to almost kissing?"

"Oh don't worry, the point is right at that moment Wood decided to show up"

"Ah"

"Yeah!"

"What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything? Just maybe told him to shove off..."

"What?"

"He basically said it to me aswell!"

"If you want this to work then you have to be ok with him and Rose being together, they're friends"

"Yes but he wants more I know he does"

"But Rose doesn't want him, forget about Michael for a second and think about Rose"

"Alright, but I don't like him"

"You don't have to like him"

"True. By the way Rose said she'd meet me tomorrow"

"So now you tell me, see that is so much more important than Michael Wood"

"Ok, you're right I'm wrong"

"Thank you"

"My pleasure Al, my pleasure"
