"He tried setting me up with Potter," Daisy said, while she hid her face in her hands. She wasn't a big fan of the family right now. She had never been a fan of Potter to begin with, but now the rest of the family was catching up. They were catching up fast.

"He did?" Roxanne asked in surprise. She gave her brother an glare and Daisy couldn't help but cross Roxanne of her hate list. She wasn't bad. "He always scare every boy that talks to me away." The anger was obvious in the girls voice and Daisy almost felt bad for the redhead. Keyword was almost. Fred had lost her sympathy when he had schemed with Kelly behind her back.

"He really does that?" Daisy asked in surprise. She had heard the Potter and Weasley boys were very protective about their sisters, even when the girls were older than their brothers. Guess that rumor had some truth in it. She felt sorry for the girls, since the boys were always off about someone else. It was hypocrite.

Roxanne nodded her head, while she looked at the plate in front of her. Daisy had thought her days would be lonely without Kelly, but it turned out to be wrong. More people talked to her than when she was friends with Kelly but the truth was, none of them were Kelly and she really missed her best friend who could understand her without her having to say what was wrong. "Fred once scared away a guy who was my potions partner," Roxanne said with a sigh. "I had to do the assignment alone, because he was too scared to come in close contact."

Daisy couldn't help but chuckle when she heard it, even when she knew how unfair it was for the boy to do. It was something she could picture Fred doing.

"I hate it when that happens," Daisy agreed with the fifth year. This made Roxanne look up in surprise. Daisy didn't know why, but she had a feeling she was going to find out.

"You don't have a brother, how would you hate it when that happens?" Roxanne asked curious. So that was why the girl was surprised. Daisy shrugged her shoulders. Was it a bad time to complain about her cousin? Kelly would have told her with one look if she could or couldn't, but she wasn't around. She was in fact sitting with Fred and Potter with a smile on her face. Kelly didn't even miss her at all.

"Potter," Daisy said and of she would have been talking with Kelly , that was all she needed to say, but Roxanne wasn't Kelly. Roxanne looked at her confused, it told her all that she needed to explain herself. "Potter pretty much scares every guy away that is brave enough to even look at me." She could see the recognition on her new friends face. Well at least one good thing came out of it. She had finally someone that could understand her annoyance, since Roxanne had been through it herself. Kelly would have told her it was all made up in her mind, but Roxanne knew better.

"So the rumors are true," Roxanne said as if she was stating a fact, she probably was but Daisy had never heard the rumor herself. She shrugged her shoulders, because she couldn't deny it. She had just told the girl it was true.

"As are the rumors that the guys in your family are too overprotective," Daisy told her. Maybe the saying was true, that all rumors had at least some of the truth in it.

Daisy felt awkward when she took her seat next to Kelly when they were in Herbology. She was late and it meant she had to take the seat that was last available. It meant she had to sit next to her former friend. It also meant she had to sit in close range from Fred and Potter. She couldn't made herself call them Weasley and Miller however, because she knew them better than anyone else. It was weird not talking to them. It meant she had to pay attention to her head of House.

Professor Longbottom closed the door of the greenhouse and started his lesson. Daisy was thankful it was a theory lesson instead of the practical lessons he usually had. They were studying about mandrakes and he told them he rather told them what it could do and what you should watch out for, so the next time they could repot them, without him having to explain while they couldn't hear him because of the ear muffs they would have to wear. It limited the chance of talking and Daisy was alright with that. She had been afraid that Kelly would talk to her, but now she could pretend she needed to pay attention. She couldn't use the excuse that she didn't get it, because Kelly knew her the best of all people.

"I'm really sorry," Kelly whispered, when she knew Daisy could hear her. Daisy just gave her former friend a glare and turned around to listen to professor Longbottom. She didn't need to hear the excuses Kelly might have. It was wrong what she had done. Kelly sighed next to her, but Daisy refused to look up, when she had began to take notes of what was being told.

"Give her time," Fred told and Daisy couldn't agree more. It was probably the best thing if she could cool of her anger. The wound the two had caused her was still to fresh. Many would probably consider she was overreacting, but since she had as little control over her own life as she had. It wasn't hard to understand why she was mad. Her future was already set in stone and she had planned to make the most of her years in Hogwarts. It was the only place where her parents had no influence over her.

"Tell me again why she is mad at the two of you, I forgot," Potter asked in a whisper, but since it was quiet in the green house, Daisy could hear him ask. So they had told him what they had done and he still talked to them? So much for their Potter wouldn't have anticipated if he knew about their plan.

"We haven't told you," Kelly hissed and it reminded Daisy of when she hissed at the boy. Maybe it was a good thing Potter didn't know, since she was humiliated enough without him knowing. He had a feeling that Potter wouldn't have been mad at his friends if he knew, because he had been following her around a lot. He had gotten what he wanted.

Daisy was glad when it was lunch break, because she had a free period after it and there was no one that could talk to her in the Hospital Wing and if they did, they would only talk about the pain they were in. When she saw the brown haired Ravenclaw, a smile started on her face. "Dylan!" Daisy yelled and she waved at him.

His brown eyes met her blue ones, but instead of returning the greeting he turned around and walked away. Daisy frowned. He had just actually walked away from her and she had asked Amy to tell him she was sorry. Why would he still act as if she was the devil? She had done nothing wrong. She had even apologized, even when it was through Amy, but he didn't wanted to talk to her so it was the only option she had.

"Daisy." The pleasing voice behind her, made her do the same what Dylan had just done to her. She wasn't ready to face her former friend and she did the only thing that was logical in her mind. She walked away. She would only yell and she was too tired to do that now. She wasn't in the mood to hear fake apologies.

It was still early and still lunch time when Daisy found herself in the Hospital Wing. It was her escape and she honestly liked the atmosphere. It was like madam Abbott knew when to ask questions and when it was better to keep quiet. She didn't understand why her mother was so keen on hating her, when she was nothing but nice. She didn't get it to hate someone, just because they were in Hufflepuf. It just didn't make sense to her. She knew better than to question her mother, since it would only end in an argument, but she wasn't planning on becoming the same bitter person her mother was.

"Can you finish organizing the supply closet?" Madam Abbott asked the girl with a smile. She had the look of relieve on her face and Daisy nodded at the healer. It was like madam Abbott knew she would have to clear her head and that there wasn't time for her to run. She was grateful the healer didn't ask any questions. Professor Longbottom would have, since he was her head of House, but his wife knew better it seemed.

"I'm right on it," Daisy said with a smile on her face and she made her disappearance in the closet. She wasn't planning on coming out when she would hear familiar voices this time, because she wasn't in the mood to talk.

"There is a sandwich on the table," Madam Abbott called behind her and Daisy's eyes fell on the sandwich madam Abbott had left her. It was like she had known Daisy would skip lunch and her stomach agreed with the healer. It was a bad habit to skip a meal and Daisy had never done it in her entire life. She was glad she didn't have to start now.
