"AHHHHHHH!"
Jaclyn Weasley bolted up out of bed when she heard a scream issue from the common room. Wrapping a robe around herself, she made her way down the stairs and found Lilac Finnigan standing in the Gryffindor common room. Very few people were actually up as it was Saturday and no one wanted to be up at 6:30.
"Um, hi Lilac," Jaclyn greeted. "Why are, you know, here?" Lilac was a Ravenclaw after all. Jaclyn didn't actually mind that she was here, but it was still weird.
Lilac didn't respond, just pointed stiffly to a corner. Jaclyn turned to find her brother George and Jessica Thomas talking, him holding her hand. It looked like Jessica was crying.
"What?" Jaclyn asked. "It's just my brother and Jessica."
"Yes but they're holding hands!" Lilac cried dramatically. "And he's my boyfriend! Mine!"
Jaclyn just rolled her eyes. She knew the story. Things had been rocky with George and Freddie since Jessica had that Monday confessed her love for George. The whole school buzzed with gossip, the story becoming more embellished as it passed from mouth to mouth.
"They're just talking," Jaclyn said calmly. "It's not the end of the world."
"But he's holding her hand!" Jaclyn knew that Lilac was a year younger than George, but her brother had told her that he didn't mind because she acted so mature. Right now, Jaclyn was finding that hard to believe.
"They need to work some things out," Jaclyn explained. "They have been like brother and sister and it's hard when something like a crush comes up."
Lilac didn't seem convinced.
"How would you know?" she asked. "You don't even like the people you hook up with."
Jaclyn fumed.
"First of all," she said through gritted teeth. "You don't always like who you kiss. Hooking up is such a strong phrase. Second, why do you care about my love life?"
"Some second year Ravenclaw boys have a paper about you," Lilac said simply. "Your life is not so private in the eyes of the male student body."
That was the final straw.
"Lilac," Jaclyn said, trying to hold back her urge to strangle the girl. "I'll send George to find you later. Why don't you go get some more sleep?" Lilac stormed out of the portal hole as Freddie came in.
"What was-" Freddie asked her sister, pointing to Lilac. Jaclyn shrugged.
"Twelve year old drama," she answered and waved her hand at George and Jessica. "She freaked when she saw that."
Freddie looked at best friend.
"Oh good, they're finally talking," she said with relief. "It's only taken them five days."
Jaclyn nodded.
"I'm happy and all but it's way to early for me. I'm going back to bed."

Scorpius and Albus walked out of the portal hole 3 hours later on their way to breakfast. Today was first year Quittitch tryouts.
"So, I'm hoping that if I make it, my dad'll get me the new Nimbus like he promised," Al was explaining to Scorpius.
"You're so lucky," Scorpius said with envy. "You actually have the coordination to play Quittitch." He tripped over nothing. Albus grabbed his sweatshirt so he wouldn't fall.
"Well, I stink at Potions," Albus said. "We all have our strengths."
Scorpius nodded. Albus actually was good at Potions, but his dad made them brew the hardest concoctions.
"You're right," Scorpius agreed. The walked into the Great Hall and smelled deeply.
"Hmmm, pancakes," Albus said. They made their way over to James, Matthew, Andrew, and Shane.
"Hey guys," Albus greeted, sitting beside his brother.
"Ready for today?" James asked. "Just because you're my brother does not mean I'm going easy on you."
"Didn't ask you to," Albus said, loading his plate with potatoes and pancakes.
"Hello Scorpius," Matthew said politely. "How…."
He stopped talking when Draco Malfoy appeared at the table.
"Hello Professor," Matthew said meekly. Draco nodded.
"Scorpius, I want to see you after breakfast," Draco said. Scorpius turned and looked up at his father.
"But I want to go watch Albus-"
"After breakfast. In my office."
"Yes Father."
And with that the Potions master turned on his heel and walked away.
"I swear the room gets colder when he enters," James said. "You sure you don't have Dementor blood, Scorpius?"
"Who knows," Scorpius said. "I wouldn't be surprised, though. Someone in my family would if they had to choose between those creepy things and a Muggle born."
James choked on his eggs.
"Wow! You're the first Malfoy I know to not say Mudblood!" he exclaimed.
"You've met the Malfoy family?" Albus asked.
"As of today, yes," James said. Albus rolled his eyes.

Scorpius made his way to the dungeons after breakfast. He had wished Albus good luck but wished he was there watching. He made his way toward his father's office and shivered. Maybe James was right about the Dementor blood.
Scorpius waited outside the door. It was open a crack and Scorpius could see his father talking to his mother's head in the fire.
"It's embarrassing, Pansy!" Draco was saying. "He's befriended Potter's son."
"You know, it's not a bad thing," Pansy said. Her view on Muggle borns vs. Purebloods and the Potter family had changed a lot after the final battle and the war. She had a lot of respect for them now…but it didn't mean she liked Granger any more than she did during her years at Hogwarts.
"Not a bad thing? Pansy, he's in Gryffindor!" Draco stressed.
"I thought you were okay with it," Pansy said gently.
"NO, I'm not!" Draco said frustrated. "I've asked Minerva if anything can be done, but the magic surrounding the hat is too powerful to alter. I think I've discovered something though."
Scorpius sucked in his breath. Please don't know about the book, he thought.
"What is it?" Pansy asked.
"According to the biography on the Bloody Baron-"
Who would read that, Scorpius thought.
"-the Baron was actually Half-Blood, yet he was sorted into Slytherin. The book mentioned that Slytherin took a liking to the Baron and speculation is that Slytherin tricked the Hat."
Scorpius almost stopped breathing. This couldn't be happening.
"Do you know how he did that?" Pansy asked, curious. Draco shook his head.
"No, but I think I know where to look."
Scorpius decided it was time to break up the party. He knocked on the door.
"That would be Scorpius," Draco said.
"Send him my love!" Pansy called before disappearing. Draco opened the door.
"Hello, Father," Scorpius said.
"Scorpius, come in!" Draco called.
"You said you needed me?"
"Ah, yes! I just wanted to find out how things were going," Draco said, pouring tea into two cups. "Come sit."
Scorpius sat down on one the black leather chairs.
"It's good," Scorpius said. "I really like Transfigurations. I was having some trouble with spells in DADA, but Albus really helped me. History of Magic is so interesting! I can't believe you thought it was boring!"
"Yes, well, you don't have a ghost teaching you," Draco mused.
"Well, I like it," Scorpius said. "Charms is fun, and Herbology is the best. Professor Longbottom is so nice."
"Hmm, lovely," Draco said. Scorpius looked down and saw a beat up copy of Hogwarts a History on his father's desk.
"Dad," Scorpius asked, thinking quickly. "May I borrow this? I wanted to read a copy, but the library only has the newer ones."
"Oh, sure, go ahead," Draco said. He looked up as an owl flew through the window and dropped a large stack of bills on the desk. Draco moaned.
"Ugh, I really have to do these," Draco said. "We'll talk more later."
Scorpius nodded and stood up, clutching the book tightly to his chest. He stood up and ran out of the dungeons the Quittitch field in time to see Albus save every shot his brother threw at him, including the one that rebounded right back at James' head.
"Dad's right about one thing," Scorpius said to himself as he clapped. "The Potter's do have big heads."
