Rose's POV:

Aaaaaah. The warmth of the covers enveloped me. The fluffiness of the pillows invited my head. The softness of the bed sheet caressed me. Oooooohhh. As my head hit the pillows I instantly fell asleep, exhausted by the eventfulness of the day: I had woken up at the crack of dawn, came to school, stuffed myself silly, joined the back-to-school party in the common room, saved someone from an angry Veela, and made friends with my arch-enemy. And then came back in the midst of a very, very, very, intense pillow-fight. And of course I joined.

So naturally, at the sight of a really comfy looking bed, inviting me to it, I collapsed onto it.

Seconds later, or so it seemed, a great blast of light hit my face, and the warmth of my blanket disappeared, and I heard, "ROSE WEASLEY DO YOU HAVE ANY FREAKING IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS? GET YOUR STINKING ARSE OFF YOUR BED! WE'RE LATE!" Zanna shrieked. I sighed.

What a wonderful thing to wake up to, isn't it?

Suzanna never was like this. She never used to shriek. She just used to.. well... yell. Dunno if there's really a difference, but whatever.

I reluctantly rose out of bed, and somehow found my way to the bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face, took a quick shower, and joined Zanna to go for breakfast.

"Where's Maddie at?"I queried, though I already knew the answer, I just wanted some conversation, because Zanna was acting really grumpy and shooting me death glares.

"Already down," she grumbled back. "Unlike some people, Maddie actually wakes up on time," she continued icily.

"Hey! I never asked you to wait for me," I said defensively.

"Oh, shut up Rose. Without me, you would have slept through the whole day, not making a good impression as a prefect, and if you want to remain a prefect, I suggest you wake up by yourself without needing a personal human alarm clock," she huffed, and walked away.

I frowned, thoroughly surprised at Zanna's behavior. She could be aggressive at times, violent a bit, but never to her friends though. I filled my plate with toast and some fruit, and strode towards the Slytherin table, seating myself by my cousin, Dominique, a beater on the Slytherin team.

We chatted a bit for awhile about the Quidditch and the chances of winning against Ravenclaw, and then I asked her," Do you know why Zanna's all fessed up? She's been real... different today."

Dominique and Suzanna knew each other really well, seeing they were both beaters for Slytherin, and Zanna stopped by the burrow a lot.

Dom sighed and then said, "Well, you know how Zanna likes Albus?" I snorted. "I think everyone knows except for Albus," I replied exasperatedly.
"Well, Albus and Monique Holloway were snogging in the common room during the party, and of course, Zanna saw them. As you can probably imagine, Zanna wasn't too pleased." she explained.

"He's so blind! And stupid!" I cried.

"Who's so blind and stupid?" I heard a voice from behind, and saw James approaching us. "I sure hope you weren't talking about me," he continued with a wink.

"Your dear brother," I replied scathingly.

"Aaaah," he said, "I suppose this has something to do with Ms. Suzanna Wood?"

"The one and only," I grumbled.

"Hey, what are you doing here James, you're not in Slytherin!" I heard yet another voice exclaim, and saw none other than Albus Potter striding towards us, closely followed by:Scorpius, Maddie, Zanna, and my oh-so-dear cousin, Lily Potter.

"God forbid," James muttered and slipped away, without so much glancing at Maddie.

Hmmmm..

I greeted everyone, including Scorpius, figuring if we were going to be friends, we should start getting used to being to nice to one another.
He returned the greeting saying, "Morning, Rose. Have a g'night's sl-sl-sleep?" Yawning in the middle of his question, I figured he hadn't had one.
"Oh yeah, I was exhausted so I fell asleep right away," I answered. "You?" I asked.

"It was OK, I guess, I mean I had a pretty..er...eventful night, if you know what I mean.." he said, winking at me.

And then I realized everyone was gaping at us as if we had just announced that we were running away and getting married. In other words, they were shocked.

Bewildered, dumbfounded, you name it. Everyone, except Zanna. She smirked knowingly, as if she expected nothing less. Curse the broken-hearted girl. She probably thought Scorpius and I were going out or something.

"Are you guys like together, or something?" Maddie asked. I didn't get a chance to answer, because questions were poring out of everyone's mouths. "When did this happen?" or "Why didn't you tell us," or "Didn't you guys hate each others guts?" and all these sorts of questions. I was about to yell at everyone to just shut up, and to tell Zanna to wipe that smirk off her face, when a shrill voice interrupted the flow of questions. "Albusy Poo! Where are you?" And Monique Holloway came into view, wearing a VERY shirt skirt, and VERY tight shirt, one that was very...er.. daring at the neck.

And I immediately recognized this girl as the Veela who had attacked Malfoy last night.

The one who I had knocked out!

Judging by the look of horror on Scorpius's face, he recognized her too.

I had to tell Albus that she was a Veela. Because if he angered her, and we weren't there to save him...
Ahem.
I'd rather not think about that right now.

I really couldn't, because as Monique's face scanned everyone who was sitting at the table, and she glanced at me, she stared at me, recognition dawning on her face.

SHIT! She knew who I was! Would you be nice to someone who had knocked you out yesterday night? I think not!

She then glanced at Malfoy, fear etched all over her face, and, without warning, she ran away as fast as her mini-skirt would allow her.

Wait. One. Minute. If she had been snogging Albus during the party, and then snogging Scorpius after the party, and was obviously still with Albus... SHE CHEATED ON HIM!

Albus was an annoying git, but he was my cousin. I wasn't going to let some Veela girl cheat on him and get away with it.
I chanced a glance at Albus, whose face was turning red, and who probably was VERY thankful that James wasn't present to here this. And, to my surprise, he looked a tad bit annoyed. I looked at Zanna, who was pointedly looking at her food, cutting her pancake so fiercely, she cut the plate in half.

"Oops," she muttered. "Reparo."

I decided this was a good chance to get away from everyone's questions seeing as they were laughing at poor Albus who had scared his girlfriend away (or so they thought it was Al), and stood up and left for potions, which was first period with Gryffindor.

"Now, who can tell me what this potion is called?" Professor Slughorn's voice boomed across the Dungeons.

"It's Polyjuice Potion, sir. It temporarily transforms you into someone else," I said.

"Excellent, , take 10 points for Slytherin. Now, what about this potion?" Slughorn asked, pointing to the cauldron nearest to the table where Scorpius, Maddie, and I were sitting.

We all eagerly sniffed it. And WOW! I could just sit there all day long and smell it. The most wonderful aromas were emanating from it: Fresh parchment, the smell of the Quidditch Field right after it rained, and then.. and then the most wonderful of all: A smell of crushed pine mixed with fresh spearmint.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Everyone's faces held the same look on their faces: pure contentedness.

Pulling out of my daze I said, "It's Amortientia, sir. It's the most powerful love potion."

"Right again, , take another 10 points. Now, was you all know, you are doing 6th year level potions, so I will not introduce you to the next potion here, for that will be much to advanced. Now, whoever makes the best Draught of Living Death will be awarded a sample of the aforementioned potion, and let me tell you, it is extremely valuable and helpful. You have exactly one hour!

You may begin!"

A/N: I know this chapter was completely useless, but next chapter will have a tad bit more of Scorpius/Rose...
