A/N: Hello! Sooo sorry for not getting this up very early :/ I promise, that I will get the next chapter up soon! Anywho, I hope you enjoy this chapter! :D

Monday Morning, Lunch, A week before Holidays:
Scorpius' POV

"What do you mean a potion?" I asked stiffly. I was too distracted at breakfast because of Rose and the twit, McLaggen.

"My friends and I were going to put a potion in Max's drink, but he got up, so they put it in your drink instead. I didn't know they put it in yours until they told me," James said carefully.

"Why were you going to put it in McLaggen's drink? What did he ever do to you?" I questioned curiously. James didn't usually meddle with his cousin's relationships.

"Rose shouldn't be dating him. He's not good enough for her. The potion was to make him angry at the right moment. Angry enough so that Rose would break up with him..."explained James without a hint of remorse.

"Oh," I said. Well I couldn't really be angry with James for that; after all, she was too good for him.

"That's what happened to you in class, Scorp!" exclaimed Albus. It all made sense now. The reason why I was so unexplainably mad at Rose...

"Oh great, now what am I going to do?" I groaned. Rose was going to be avoiding me, so how was I going to explain that I was under the influence of a potion?

"Er...sorry Scorpius," said James, tugging at his necktie again. "Hey, would you look at the time," he pointed to his non-existent watch, "I've got to get going. Great talking to you—" He got up and tried to leave.

I made a grab for him, but thankfully Al was quicker; he yanked his brother back down next to us.

"Wait a minute! You better fix this James Potter!" I yelled. "This is all your fault!"

"Oh alright," he huffed, looking very unhappy. "What do you want me to do?"

"Talk to Rose, and tell her that I drank a potion that made me angry," I explained. James looked slightly scared at the prospect of talking to an unhappy Rose.

"Why can't you do it?" James said angrily.

"Because you created this mess!" I replied, narrowing my eyes.

He sighed, "Alright fine, fine," he said haughtily. "I'll do it." He turned around and went back to the Gryffindor table.

"My brother's dead meat," Albus muttered, still watching James walking away. I nodded in agreement; an angry Rose was not something you wanted to cross. I mean, I still have the red slap mark on my cheek.

"Anyways, let's go, Transfiguration starts soon..." said Albus.

And with that, we walked to the classroom.

Rose's POV

I clutched my sides, while I tried not to fall of my seat with laughter. Lily really knew how to cheer me up. Now, I was crying from laughter instead of sadness.

I wiped my tears away while gasping for air.

"And then," continued Lily with her story, "I took the pgymy puff and put it down his pants!"

I collapsed into renewed laughter.

"Best Christmas ever," giggled Lily, reliving the memory.

"Merlin, I can't wait 'till the holidays," I said excitedly. Suddenly the door swung open revealing James Potter.

"James?" I asked confused. What was he doing here? Maybe he was hungry; James had inherited Uncle Ron's appetite.

His brown eyes met my blue ones, and I saw a flash of emotions cross his face: shock, confusion, annoyance, fear, and finally, resolve.

He sauntered over to Lily and I, completely ignoring his sister.

"Rose...er...did something happen between you and Scorpius today?" he asked hesitantly.

I exchanged glances with Lily. Gossip traveled too fast at Hogwarts.

"Yes, we got into an argument, why?" I asked cautiously. I didn't want to talk about our argument.

"Well, Scorpius drank a potion unknowingly at breakfast. And he...it made him really angry and unreasonable, so that's why he said all those things to you in class..." All of this was said really fast and I had a hard time catching it.

I blinked, and glanced at Lily. She was smirking triumphantly like she won something.

"So...he didn't mean any of those things?" I asked carefully, unsure of how to react.

"Nope. It was the potion talking," replied James, scratching his shaggy black hair.

"Wait, how did a potion get into his drink?" I asked curiously. I saw James hesitate—his face growing afraid, "James?"

He mumbled something unintelligible.

"Sorry? I didn't catch that."

"Ha. Funny story, really. My friends and I meant to slip a potion to McLaggen, but it didn't work out so they gave Malfoy the potion," James said very fast, avoiding my gaze. He glanced up at me, and saw my angry expression and quickly tried to reassure me, "But I didn't know that they gave him the potion! I swear!"

I looked to Lily, wondering how I should react to this. But she was still smiling idiotically into her drink.

I sighed; I was emotionally drained for the day. I didn't have any energy to get angry with James, plus it wasn't exactly his fault.

"Alright, whatever. I'll see you later, James," I said tiredly. I got up, and went to my next class, leaving a smiling Lily and confused James.

A/N: Arrgh, sorry for the crappy ending, but I didn't want to end it any other way :/ . More to come however, including more stuff with Rose/ Scorp! Please be patient, and leave a review since they motivate me :). Thanks so much!
