Here it is then, sigh . . . sometimes I wish I was Rose (: oh and I don't own it!

I woke up with a start. I had just had the weirdest dream. Caitlin was professing her love for Albus, I mean ew! There practically family! I mean she lives at my house . . . and so does pretty much all my cousins and extended family. Not that I mind . . . But Dominique has developed an annoying habit of harassing me about not having a boyfriend. As if I needed her telling me that as well, what with Malfoy reminding me in every spare moment why I am single. Then there was Roxy, Fred and James. Nightmare. Though they had all left School now, they still kept up their childish pranks. And Albus, pretending that Slytherin were going to beat us in Qudditch this year. Ah, as if. The boy is mentally challenged. (Though secretly my fave cousin!) And then there was Hugo. Well, he did actually live with me. But Lily's friend Alice, she didn't. Though she stayed with our grandparents when we where on summer break. And I'm pretty sure he has the hugest crush on her, as in 'drops whatever he's holding when she's in the room' crush. Cute you may think? No, sickening. I rolled over. I should probally get up.

Stretching I reached out to pat my cat Caramel, who for some reason wasn't there. My eyes opened in shock.

"Carr," I called out semi concerned. I leant over to my dressing table to see the time. 6.30. Hmm, might've beaten the malformation to the bathroom, (a/n: I know cliché the share a bathroom. GET OVER IT! Ha) I smiled as I gathered my stuff together, and peered round my door. No sign of him yet. Creeping into the darkness I shut the door quietly, and headed around the corner to the bathroom, to come face to face with the idiot himself.

"Weasley." He said, scaring me out of my skin. I could only just see his outline in the shadows. He flicked his hand and the lights came on. Impressive Malfoy, real impressive. Note the sarcasm.

He had clearly had a shower, and was currently sitting in front of the bathroom door, and what really got me. Was that Caramel was sitting on his lap, purring.

Scandalized, I attempted to shove past him.

"I need to get in there Malfoy," I said in my croaky morning voice. I hate him even more; he's obviously a morning person.

Smirking through a smile (if that's possible?), he surprised me by standing up. I must have looked surprised by his kind gesture because his usual sneer returned, as he placed Caramel on the ground.

"Be sure to have a long shower, Weasley. This," He gestured to my body, and face, "Needs work,"

"Now I know how you charm the ladies," I said laughing it off as I slammed the door. That was something I'd never understand. Why he was such a . . . Dick to me in the first place. But only me. Obviously he was nice to Al, and James tolerated him. Hugo thinks he's a bit of a tosser, but that's only cuz we thrashed him in Quidditch last year when James was captain. And the majority of my girl cousins adore him, what I had said before about his 'charm with the ladies' was painfully true.

"Ouch!" I yelped, I had just gone and put shampoo in my eye. I hate that feeling. Gah!

Hours later I was ready to go down to breakfast, and I raced out of my room to find, the prat waiting for me. (What was the world coming to?). He looked up from reading, and caught my eye. He looked . . . Uncertain? Yeah that was the word.

"What are you doing?" I burst out, breaking the silence that had been surrounding us.

"I'd have thought that was obvious Weasley," He stood up, his confidence suddenly back. His eyes gleaming again . . . Oh no you didn't Rose! Crap. I fully stared into his eyes for a little too long, and didn't hear whatever insult he just threw at me.

"Coming Weasel?" He climbed out the portrait and looked back at me.

"Yeah I am, Malfoy," I shoved past him and stormed down the hallway. So he was waiting for me to go down to the Great Hall, right? Yeah. Ugh, I really needed to pay more attention.

"Hey Rose!" Josh called to me, waving his arms to beckon me.

"Hey Josh, the others down yet?"

"Caitlin's on her way, but you know what Baileys like. And Josie.' He said shrugging. I grabbed some toast.

"So Yusuf tha naif wiv mauvoy?"

"What?" I said, seeing Caitlin talking to Al in the distance. And I'm sure they were being more than friendly. What is wrong with my life?

"I said," He swallowed, "You survived the night with Malfoy then?"

"With Malfoy? Josh you make it sound like I was . . . With him!"

"Oh you know what I mean!" He said waving an airy hand.

Before I could respond Caitlin made her entrance.

"Morning Josh! Rose," She was way too smiley for this time of morning.

Shrugging I launched into the explanation of what had happened the previous night. Bailey who had turned up shortly after Caitlin thumped Josh on the back when I said the last bit . . . About Malfoy coming so close to me.

"It all comes back to my theory," Said Caitlin, biting into her toast dreamily.

"What theory is that?" I asked skeptically. What nutcase theory did you have to suggest now Caitlin?

"He loves you."

It was mine and Bailey's turn to choke on our pumpkin juice. I eventually stopped and smiled at a grumpy looking Josie.

"Whats wrong with everyone?" She asked, obviously bewildered.

"Well," Said Bailey, in his slightly pessimistic tone, "Caitlin here, just suggested that Malfoy might have a 'thing' for our Rose,"

I rolled my eyes. I loved Bailey, don't get me wrong. But he was a nutter, (obviously otherwise we wouldn't be friends). So maybe none of my friends were normal. Bailey had Darkish brown hair-which was always meticulously styled, and friendly goldeny eyes that lit up when he smiled. Which was a lot. Josh had dark skin, and big brown eyes, and short dark hair. Josie had dark brown hair, pale skin, and green eyes, kinda like the girl version of Al, except his hair was darker. She was, I guess, the girly one out of us girls. But she tended to hang out with the boys more than me and Caitlin did. And that was my friendship group.

"Earth to Rose!" Josh waved his hand in front of my face vigorously.

"I, uh-what sorry?" I had to stop zoning out!

"Don't worry," He said shaking his head, though I saw him smiling.

"You know what the weird thing was?" I said, just to Caitlin while Josie entered an argument with Bailey.

"Nope," She said her blue eyes wide enough that I could see my curly red haired reflection.

"Caramel was with him, he didn't even sleep on my bed!"

"Cats got taste," She said slyly, as I opened my mouth to argue. But was interrupted by the bell.

"See you in charms!" Said Bailey, and I headed to Transfiguration with the others. At least it wasn't with the Slytherin's I thought with a grin. And that was something, I guess.
