Rose's POV:

"Aargh! Does Professor Binns really think we actually care about who risked their life to saved the stinking warlock Kjirfron in the Battle of Trozac?" Zanna groaned.
Upon receiving no reply, she plowed on further, "I mean it happened 5000 years ago!"

I did my best to ignore her, but these days, Zanna was the limit. If Albus would hurry up and get it over with, and just SNOG her...

"It doesn't really matter when it happened Suzie-Poo. All that matters is that its going to be on our OWLS, and though it's near impossible for anyone who's not a Rose Weasley to even scrape an "A Acceptable" on it, we can still try." Maddie muttered while scribbling furiously on her parchment. She seemed in a hurry to get done.

"Don't call me Suzie-Poo," Zanna grumbled in reply, but didn't complain about having to study about warlocks who lived 5000 years ago anymore.

I released a sigh of relief, but found I couldn't concentrate anymore on the 13 inch essay we had been assigned by Binns. Zanna, Maddie, and I had come to the library to try and get rid of all our homework right now, because tomorrow was going to be Hogsmeade, and Hogsmeade is our chill day. No doing homework on Hogsmeade days. It was illegal.

I wasn't tired. I had slept for 12 hours the previous night, and I was wide awake. I just couldn't concentrate. Realizing I was pretty much wasting my time, I stood up and said, "I'm going down for supper and finish this later."

Maddie acknowledged my departure with a tiny jerk of her head and Zanna grumbled something incoherent which sounded like," You go ahead and do that. See if I care"

She was sitting so close to him, she was practically on his lap. I growled. I stalked over to where he was sitting, closely flanked by Scorpius and his other friend, Will Knight.

"Hey Albus. Mind if I talk to you for a sec? Lo' Scorpius, Will." I greeted them with false cheer.

Hollowhead (Monique) removed herself from his lap, looking extremely annoyed as she did so, and Al followed me out of the Great Hall to the corridors, looking confused.

"What's up Rose?"

"Oh don't worry.. I won't keep Hollowhead's Albusy-Poo for long," I said viciously. He flinched at my tone and the nickname, and I felt a pang of guilt for being this rude, but I was planning on getting this over with once and for all. It was for everyone's benefit.

And then I let it all out: "What's up Albus? What's up? I don't think your THAT daft, Albus. I'm pretty sure you know what's up. I want you to stop. I want you to stop acting like your in love with Hollowhead here, and go to the girl you really love. And don't you deny it Albus. The whole freaking school knows for God's sakes! You better tell her. You better ask her soon, because in case you haven't noticed, she's really pretty and a lot of guys like her, and if you don't ask her soon and gather up some courage, she's gonna be gone. Do you understand me Albus? GONE. And she'll never be yours. Because no matter how much you try to convince yourself that you love Hollowhead, she's not the same as her and she won't fill that space in your heart. She can't compare to her at all, even if she does have bigger boobs, so go right now and apologize for being the sorriest loser ever and just SNOG her already, because she's waiting. Zanna's waiting, Al. Go."

It wasn't a request. It was a command. And I bet I looked pretty frightening right now, so without another word, he left, slowly stumbling up the stairs.

A/N: Sorry for the late update, but if you read my story, "All Because of a Quill," you would know why. Yes, I know there is no Scorose in here, barely any mention of Scorpius, but next chapter, I'll make it up. And there's gonna be Nicholas in there too!
Well again, please review!
Cheers!
