Hey! Sorry I took so long! I knew what I wanted to write, just not how to write it. But I figured it out, and I hope you like it. Thanks to PotterFan112 and Sheldon Potter, for being the only two people who reviewed! Oh, and just a heads up, I published a story I wrote a few years ago, called The Eighteenth of June. It's a George/Angelina fic, so be sure to check it out! I'm 3 reviews away from 100, so please review! It would really mean the world to me! So thanks, and without further ado CHAPTER 25 of Dear Roxanne!
On the Hogwarts Express…
"So, how was the rest of your summer?" Rose asked as we took our seats in an empty compartment.
"Great, well, apart for being grounded for the rest of the summer." I shrug.
"Do you really think it was worth it? Sneaking out and all?"
"Yep. I would do it again, ever given the chance."
It's quiet for a short while then, Rose starts to grin, and lean towards me. "You're in love! I can't believe it!"
"I am not in love. I just met the bloke." I say, giving Rose my straightest face, but it's not fooling her in the slightest.
"Liar!"
"Am not! Besides, everyone know that there's no such thing of love at first sight."
"Really? Are you sure about that?" Rose smiles
"Really. Love at first sight is just some silly myth."
"Yeah, okay…" Rose said, pretending to give in.
She changed the subject, and we talked about the upcoming school year. All she could talk about was our O.W.L's and how Scorpious, Al, and me were going to spend every second in the library studying. I didn't object out loud, but I am not, in any means, fond of Scorpious Malfoy as a person. He is always so critical of me, and everything I do. He and I have never gotten off on the right foot, and I don't plan on starting now.
"I have a feeling that this year is going to be great," Rose says.
"Really?" I ask, not really sure where the comment was going.
"Yeah, because Teddy finally proposed to Vic, Dom and Aunt Fleur finally made amends, and you, Al and I will ace our O.W.L's."
"Yeah, I guess it will be." I say.
Later, during the feast, at the Gryffindor Table:
Molly, being the only girl in Gryffindor closest to my age (being a seventh year), was my only confidant. I needed to tell someone about Alexander, and I couldn't go to Rose, because she's at the Ravenclaw table with him. As we were eating, I told her the story about my adventure in Spain, hoping to get some advice.
"So that's where you where? We were all worried sick! I can't believe you would do-" she started.
"That's not the point, Molly. Build a bridge and get over it." I rolled my eyes.
"I don't know what you want me to tell you," She took a sip of her goblet of pumpkin juice, " You put the ball in his court, and all I can suggest you do is wait."
"Wait?"
"Yeah, wait. But I wouldn't recommend waiting forever, because you just might miss another opportunity that will be just as great." Molly shrugged.
"What did you put in that note?" she asked.
"'Had a great night… something, something, Robin.'" I said, hoping that Molly would overlook the 'something's'.
"Something, something?" She asks. Damn it.
"I may have left him a teeny tiny little hint." I confess.
"What?"
"Yeah, gave him the address to the Diagon Alley shop, but I used the first letter in each word."
"So what did you write? Ninety-three DALE?"
"Yeah. Exactly. I want him to find out it's me. And my theory is that if he's the smartest of his year, he'd be able to figure it out."
"Alright, but you mentioned you used your cousin's hair for the polyjuice. For all he knows, you are her."
Damn, I hate when Molly's right. I look across the hall to the Slytherin table. There she is, all girly and stuff with her prissy high society friends, including the (self-proclaimed) most popular girl at school, Gemma Nott. Ugh.
"Now I have to keep Val away from him!" I groan loudly in frustration, gaining me odd looks from the people sitting near me.
"Looks like you have your work cut out for you." Molly got up from the bench. The feast is over and students are starting to leave. "Mum always said nothing ever good comes from telling lies."
I groan.
"Oh, and before I forget, the password to the common room is Potens Leo." She smiles and skips away.
My mum always said, that if you can visually see the things you'd like to, you're more likely to do them. I hope she was right:
1. List of things that I need to do this school year:
2. Order the 2020 American and British song books- find some simple songs to practice singing.
3. Keep Alexander away from Valarie (AT ALL COSTS!).
4. Check the library for musical history books, that way I don't have to owl order them.
5. Make the quidditch team (again…).
6. Try to make friends (family friends and relatives don't count, sadly).
7. Attend a 'study group' session or two, just to make Rose happy.
8. Stay away from people that will highly irritate me (i.e. Scorpious, Valarie, and Gemma. I have a lot to deal with already, and I'm not adding these people to the mix.).
9. Try to not completely fail the O.W.L's.
10. Ask mum if it's not too late to get back into taking dance classes in the summer.
11. Convince Fred and James to stop pranking Alexander and his friends.
12. Tell someone about my interest in going to the Wizarding Academy of Performing Arts (preferably Rose.).
13. Request informational pamphlet for the Wizarding Academy of Performing Arts.
14. Wish on my lucky stars that Alexander figured out that it was me.
I hope you enjoyed it! Don't forget to review! Thanks :)
