Rose POV:

"Hey Rose!" greeted Suzanna Wood (minus the tackling hug), more commonly known as Zanna, exclaimed. She was acted as though she hadn't just tackled me a while ago, and left without offering help. "Hello Suzanna," I replied coldly. She gulped. I knew that she knew that I was angry. "I can explain..." she began, though she was interrupted by another voice. "Zanna. Oi! You! Zanna! Who the hell are you talking to? A red-head? Which Weasley is it now? Merlin, they breed like... Rose? It can't be Rose?" the owner of the voice came into view, and I was face-to-face with my other best friend, Madison(Maddie to us) Berks.

"Who the hell are you, and what the devil have you done to Rose Weasley?" she asked bemusedly. "Very funny Maddie," I muttered, that stupid Weasley blush coming along. "Wow Rose! You look er... different!" she exclaimed. "You mean I actually look like a girl," I replied wryly.

"Oh be quiet Rose. Every girl envied your blue eyes and they still do," she humphed. "Seriously, you have such low self esteem, it's not even funny."

"Right." I snorted disbelievingly. "Anyways, Suzanna, why may I ask is it that you tackled me to the floor, and then left me without even helping? You do know you left me at the mercy of Scorpius freaking Malfoy!" I rounded on Suzanna.

"Chill out Rose, calm down. Here me out, OK? I was about to help you up, but then I saw Malfoy coming our way, so I decided that he could, you know, help you up?" she said. Maddie snorted.

"Oh come off it, Zanna!" I started. Zanna visibly relaxed, because she knows I only call her, "Suzanna," when I'm mad at her. "When are you going to get that stupid idea out of your head? Malfoy does NOT fancy me, and nor I him!" I continued.
Zanna always had this idea that me and Malfoy were destined to be together. Mind you, she'd been harping on it since 3rd year.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry. Right, now don't you think it's better for us to find a compartment then rather just stand here like a bunch of dorks?"

We found an empty compartment and sat. I observed my best friends to see you if they too had changed over the summer. Not that they needed change. Zanna had her bright bright orange hair, that was in it's usual casual ponytail, which she somehow managed to make look really good. She was a petite girl and was the best Beater you could find anywhere. She may look delicate and harmless at first sight, but you tend to change your mind when you have a lump the size of a golf-ball on your head from a well hit bludger by her. She had clear skin, and a perfect complexion. Her best feature was of course her eyes. They were blue, like mine, but a different shade. Mine were like a dark bluish kind. Hers were pure turquoise. She was cheery and optimistic, but not bubbly. She was extremely defensive of people. If you dared insult anyone she was close to, you would find yourself in the Hospital Wing for a month. Zanna wasn't dating anyone, but I knew she and Albus liked each other, though they didn't dare admit it.

Maddie was the goddess of Hogwarts. She could have any boy at her feet with the snap of her fingers. Not that she was a slut or anything. Mind you, she hadn't dated since 5th year. My cousin, James Potter had the world's biggest crush on her, and unlike Albus, he didn't hide it. Not a day would go by without James having asked her out. When Uncle Harry heard of this he burst out laughing. He told us that it reminded him of his parents. He told us that his father had acted like James; he told us that his father and mother had acted like that; his mother had hated his father's guts, and his father had been madly in love with his mother. Maddie didn't really hate James, she just thought he was annoying, insufferable, and incorrigible. Though she did admit he was handsome. I knew Maddie really liked him, but she was just scared that he would treat her like every other girl; date her for a while, and then move on. She thought James only liked her because she was the only thing he couldn't get. But I knew she was wrong. The way James talked about her, the way he looked at her and sought after her, well you'd be blind not to see that he was madly madly MADLY in love with her.

Maddie had dark brown hair with a strange reddish tint in it. Her chocolaty brown eyes drove boys mad, and she had the perfect hourglass figure. She was tall and slender, and she had rather pale skin lightly sprayed with freckles. And boy, was she one chaser. Slytherin always had a LOT of points because of their superb chasers: Maddie, Lily, and Scorpius(OK, I'll admit he is rather good).

The compartment door opened, and James Potter entered. His dark brown hair was messy as usual and his normally mischievous hazel eyes were unusually serious. "Hey Rose, Suzanna, Madison,"

"Hey James, what's up?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing," he said,"just wanted to stop by and say hello."

And without looking at Maddie, winking at her, or asking her out, he stalked out.

"What's up with him?" asked Zanna. "He didn't smile at you Maddie, or wink, and we called you Madison, not freckles!"
Madison shrugged as if she couldn't care less, but I knew she was curious too.

The compartment door opened and Albus and Scorpius entered. Albus smiled and greeted all of his, his gaze lingering on Zanna for a bit longer. Zanna seemed to notice too, and a faint flush began to rise up her cheeks. I gaped. Zanna NEVER blushed. Unlike us Weasleys. Malfoy just gave me his trademark smirk and winked before plopping down in the seat next to me.

He put his hands behind his head, stretched his legs out to row of seats in front of him, making himself comfortable. "So, what are you lot up to?" Albus asked.

So we talked a bit, tried out some new spells(and got caught by Professor Slughorn who surprisingly didn't give us detention;he just laughed) and Malfoy didn't annoy me. He barely looked at me or talked to me. I felt relieved, but I found myself missing the attention I got from him...

Anyways, we arrived to Hogwarts. The Sorting Hat began with a new song. And the first years were sorted:

"Paxton, Arianna!"

RAVENCLAW!

"Brian, Michelle!"

GRYFFINDOR!

"Flint, Zachary!"

SLYTHERIN!

Our table cheered. We welcomed him up, and the sorting continued. We got a lot of new fellow Slytherins.
And then Professor McGonagall gave her welcoming speech, and the feast began. Everyone around me began shoveling down food, eating as though their lives depended on it.

I wasn't very hungry though as I watched Malfoy openly flirt with some other 4th year Slytherin. A sick feeling found its way to my stomach. I was disgusted, yes, but there was something else too.

And when I realized what it was, I felt as though I needed to throw up, even though I hadn't eaten. The world began to spin, and felt dizzy. Maddie looked at me with concern in her eyes. "You OK?" she asked.

"Yeah I'm fine," I mumbled back.

But there was no denying the feeling in my stomach, in my body, that had strengthened as I watched Malfoy snogging that girl senseless.

It was Envy.
Jealousy.

I was jealous of that bimbo that Malfoy was snogging.
Why?

Because I wanted to be that girl, I wanted to be the one Malfoy was currently snogging...
