Chapter 3: The War Starts

The next day, classes started. Albus thought that the classes themselves were interesting enough, but not nearly as interesting as the way Scorpius, Kilee, and Rose interacted.

For example, during break, Rose decided that it was too quiet. So, she attempted to make Scorpius and Kilee sing. However, she overdid the spell and Scorpius and Kilee began to scream random phrases at the top of their lungs. It was funny until Kilee started to cry and Scorpius hexed Rose. Then Albus attempted to stop Rose from hexing Scorpius and Kilee attempted to thank him.

Somehow, Albus didn't know how, they all ended up in the hospital wing for the rest of the day with a week's worth of detention: even poor Kilee.

However, even a week of writing lines and cleaning the trophy room couldn't stop Rose. She continued to bother Kilee and Scorpius whenever she could. And Scorpius would retaliate in anyway he could. Poor Kilee always got caught in the crossfire and Albus always had a fit of guild and ended up trying to help. It never worked. The four of them were quick regulars in detention.

Albus didn't really mind the detentions. It was the most recent detention causing incident (Rose had bewitched several books to throw themselves at Scorpius) that caused Albus to regret taking part at all.

As he and Scorpius scrubbed the floor of the Great Hall Scorpius announced, "I think I hate your cousin."

"Really?" Albus mumbled sarcastically, "I'd never have guessed."

Scorpius went on as if he hadn't heard Albus, "I mean, I don't mind the detentions, honest. I don't even mind the constant Howlers from my dad. But, I really hate her picking on Kilee"

Albus froze. He didn't like where this was going.

"Is there anyway we can stop her?" Scorpius asked.

Crap. "Er," Albus started. He wasn't sure how much he could say. He know for a fact that the only reason Rose bother Kilee was because it annoyed Scorpius so much. So what was he supposed to say? He could tell Scorpius the truth and earn Roses' eternal wrath (eek!) or not tell him and earn Scorpius' eternal disgust.

What to do, what to do, Albus mused thoughtfully.

His thoughts were interrupted when Professor Flitwick burst in. Behind him, a gleeful Rose and a frowning Kilee followed. All three were running. Flitwick stopped short at the sight of Albus and Scorpius. Rose, who was laughing, ran into him. Kilee fell over. Albus sighed and prepared for the explosion that was sure to come. What he did not expect was for Professor Flitwick to turn Rose into a statue and leave Kilee blubbering on the floor.

"Frogs are attacking Hogwarts! Run for your lives!" screamed Flitwick.

Albus blinked; Scorpius blinked; Kilee eyed the professor nervously and then turned to the two boys.

"I think Rose did something to him. He hasn't quite been right since Rose had to tell him something in private," Kilee informed them, giving the small Professor an odd look: Flitwick had begun to break dance.

Albus bit his lip and said, "I think you may be right."

"No kidding Einstein," Scorpius snapped, looking at Flitwick with disdain.

"So what do we do?" Kilee asked, slowly walking around to join the two boys.

"Well, first we do this," said Scorpius, pulling out his wand. Albus looked at his friend anxiously. If Scorpius was going to do what Albus thought he was going to do this would not end well. In the end, it turned out that Scorpius did exactly what Albus thought he was going to do. Nothing. Before he could, however, Flitwick came over again and stole Scorpius' wand.

"Hey!" Scorpius yelped, "Give me back my wand!"

Flitwick stuck his tongue out and made antlers with his hands cackling, "Nan-a-nan-a-boo-boo!"

Scorpius tackled him.

Kilee shrieked, "That's a teacher!"

"No," Scorpius grunted, struggling to grab his wand, "This is one of Weasley's evil minions,"

Just then, Professor Trelawny walked in. "What are you doing, Malfoy?" she screamed.

"Trying to stop Rose Weasley's evil minions from taking over the school," Kilee calmly announced, "And that," she pointed at the statue, "was Rose, but professor Flitwick turned her into a statue."

"Oh, okay," replied Professor Trelawny as she turned to leave.

"Great," Albus mumbled to himself, "My cousin's a statue, my best friend is wrestling with a midget and the teacher's have gone insane. This is just brilliant…" As soon as Albus thought that things couldn't get any worse, James walked in.

"What the…" James exclaimed, stopping dead and staring at the scene in front of him.

"AH-HA!" Scorpius yelled, brandishing his wand in the air, "I got it!"

Sparks flew from his wand and landed in Rose, who immediately became alive again. She instantly turned her wand on James and performed the same spell on him that she did on Flitwick. James began to jig with a goofy grin on his face. Laughing manically, Rose turned her wand on the three terrified 11-year-olds.

"RUN!" Albus screamed. Grabbing Kilee's hand and yanking her along, Scorpius immediately complied. They were almost at the door when Kilee stumbled and fell. Albus turned to help her up, but was hit by Rose's hex.

Ignoring his loudly singing and tap-dancing friend, Scorpius grabbed Kilee and ran. Rose gave chase. Finally the two friends hid behind a ruit of armor and Rose ran past.

"What are we going to do?" Kilee squeaked, "She's taking over the whole school! And she got Al!"

Suddenly, Peeves appeared.

"Oh noooo!" Scorpius groaned. He had honest thought things couldn't get worse. Luckily, Peeves went straight for Rose. He grabbed her by the back of her robe and flew down the hall.

"Go!" Scorpius hissed. He and Kilee ran back to the Great Hall. The three crazies were still doing their respective dances.

"Fix them!" Scorpius told Kilee, gesturing towards the crazies.

"Me?" Kilee said, beginning to go green, "Why me?"

"You're the Ravenclaw!" Scorpius exclaimed.

"But I have no idea what spell she used," Kilee yelled over Albus's singing.

"Just guess then!" said Scorpius.

Kilee gulped and yelled out, "Finite Incantatem!"

James, who she had pointed her wand at, was blasted straight up in the air, hit the ceiling, and fell back to the ground with a large bang and several sickening cracks. Kilee and Scorpius winced.

"Well," Scorpius said feebly, "At least he's not tap..." Scorpius froze as out of the corner of his eye he saw Rose slowly advancing on them, her hair frizzed out and her brown eyes wide and evil. She cackled.

"Oh dear," said Kilee.

Just then, Victoire Weasley, prefect and also James's, Albus's, and Rose's cousin, walked in with her friend Kate-Ann.

"Rose!" Victoire scolded, "Why are you intimidating those poor children?"

Rose was immediately the picture of innocence. "They did something to Al and Professor Flitwick! I was trying to make them right it out. And then they hurt James! On purpose too," Rose said.

Victoire looked shocked and then angry. "How dare you?" she yelled, "Detention for all next week! And 10 points to Slytherin for Rose trying to stop this atrocity."

Scorpius looked murderous. Ten minutes later, Victoire and Kate-Ann had put everything right, James was in the hospital wing with two broken arms, and Scorpius and Kilee were trying to convince Professor Vector that they were the victims and that their parents don't need to be informed of their wrong doings. It didn't work. Both students got howlers from their parents, Scorpius' hate of Rose was cemented forever more, and Albus had finally decided to side against his cousin.

Thus, one of the most infamous student wars began.
