DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter, which is lame! I don't own the lyrics either! My life is lame! It's Michael Buble and the song is called The Best Is Yet To Come!

Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum
Still its a real good bet, the best is yet to come

I walked into Potions and low and behold, Dalton was in that class too. He waved me over to sit next to him. I took my seat and smiled. "Looks like we'll be together a lot this year," I smiled. He laughed and nodded, taking out his things and setting them on the table. I looked back at James who was sulking. I looked at Dalton and then shrugged. "I'll be right back." He nodded insignificantly and I made my way to where James was. I sat down next to him and pushed him.

"So you decided to come back to your real friends?" he said moodily.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.

"He's a Slytherin. Slytherins are supposed to hate Gryffindors. Why is he different?" James sulked, giving Dalton a glare. I sighed, rolled my eyes and slammed my hand across the potions book in front of him.

"James. You're being a prat! Just because he's a Slytherin doesn't mean that I have to hate him. He's the only one other than you, Fred and Aspen that's been civil towards to me. Everyone else just assumes that they can treat me like rubbish because of my mother. Why do you have something against that?" I asked loudly, anger coursing through my body. He threw a half-smile at me and laughed.

"I guess you're right. I mean, he doesn't really have anything compared to me!" he said loudly. I raised an eyebrow and looked down at him.

"Really James? Is this really a time to be a conceited prat?" I asked, a smile playing on my lips. He nodded and continued to take his things out of his bag. I looked up and saw Slughorn coming into the room, his great belly preceding him into the room. I stood up and walked over to my seat and took my own things out of my bag.

"Sounds like he's really happy that you're hanging out with me!" Dalton smiled, looking at me. I smiled back and then laughed. "What? Did I say something?"

"No. He's just been really jealous lately," I said, frowning slightly.

"Oh, really? And how does a girl like you end up with a jealous Potter for a friend?" he asked knowingly.

"No idea," I said, looking up at the instructions that Slughorn had just wrote on the board.

The best is yet to come, and baby wont it be fine
You think you've seen the sun, but you aint seen it shine

Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You aint seen nothin yet

The bell had rung and Dalton and I were walking out of it. I had Transfiguration next and I wasn't excited about that. Everyone knew that Professor Noore gave the most amount of homework out of all the teachers. I had hung back and was waiting for Aspen outside of the door. Dalton had waved bye and I felt an excited flutter in my stomach. "What is this? Acacia Lestrange, waiting for me? A lowly half-blood," Aspen said good-naturedly.

"Oh, no. Whatever would my mother say?" I joked, laughing along with her. Fred was walking behind us, a smile plastered onto his own face. "And where's your mate, Fred?" He stuck his tongue out at me and I stuck mine out back. It was good being back in their circle again. My arm was tucked carefully underneath Aspen's and Fred laughing behind us. If only James were here, then we would be the four people that everyone talked about.

"I don't know," Fred said seriously. "He left as soon as we were finished with Potions. Why?" I shrugged, knowing exactly why he wasn't talking to any of us.

We finally reached Transfiguration class and there was an empty seat next to James. I looked at Aspen and she nodded. I slid into the seat and smiled at him, but he completely ignored me. "What's up?" I asked, shoving him with my arm. He turned to me with his green eyes icy with hate.

"Oh, hi, Lestrange," he said coldly, not meeting my eyes. My eyes widened with surprise at the cold way he greeted me.

"What? Are we using last names now, Potter?" I said sarcastically. He nodded and then turned to face the board. "James. Come on. Are you seriously mad at me because of Dalton? Look, he's not here now. Fine! If that's the way you want to play, I'll play with you!" I felt as though I was talking to a brick wall, but if he wanted to spew rubbish like that, I could be twice the player he was!

The best is yet to come, and baby wont it be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day your mine

The best is yet to come
Come the day your mine
Oh come the day your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry

Transfiguration had finished and I was sitting with Aspen and Fred at the lunch table. I was picking at my soup moodily, sneaking glances at James. He was talking and laughing with Raine and Chloe, probably just to make me angry. But I can tell you this; it sure as hell was working. How dare he talk to my mortal enemy just because it would make me mad? "Hey, Acacia, are you okay? You're not eating," Aspen said concerned, patting my hand.

I nodded and then went back to picking at my food. "I'm fine. Just thinking," I answered, lying straight through my teeth. Aspen nodded disbelievingly and then noticed that Fred had disappeared.

"Did you see where he went?" she asked, definitely worried about his well-being.

"No. But something gives me a good feeling that he's with James." She looked over at where James was sitting and smiled. "Hey. I'm gonna go up to the common room. Get some reading done. I'll be down at our next class. Don't bother waiting for me."

She nodded and watched me as I left.

Wait till your charms are right, for the arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but you aint left the ground

Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There ain't nothin like it here

The best is yet to come, and baby wont it be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day your mine
Come the day your mine
I've got plans for you baby
And baby you're gonna fly
