AN: I feel like an absolute failure. I spelled Scorpius' name wrong last chapter. I'd like to thank alicecullenisrealinmyworld for pointing out my epic fail. I didn't even realize what I had done until the chapter was up and posted and my computer runs so slow I honestly did not want to go back and change it. Thanks again.
Disclaimer: Check the first chapter and you'll see what you need.
"How are we going to convince Lysander?" James asked, following after Roxanne as the girl raced down one of the corridors. "It's quite simple, my dear brother-" Lily started, but then stopped, and looked at Roxanne.
"How are we going to convince him?" she asked.
"You're both daft, you know that? All we have to do is get Lysander to see Alyssa doing something horrid and then he'll have to believe us, won't he?" Roxanne asked, a grin spreading across her face as she spotted Alyssa walking towards them.
"Lorcan, go get Lysander!" she yelled, shoving her friend backwards. Lorcan glared at her for a moment, before he rolled his eyes and nodded, taking off in a run towards Ravenclaw Tower.
"A whole gang of Weasleys" Alyssa snarled, coming to a stop in front of them, a grin on her face. "I hear you've been spreading rumors about our friends, Finnigan, and if you know what's good for you, you'll stop" Scorpius said, stepping in front of the group.
"Oh? What's the little Hufflepuff going to do to me? Hex me? You and I both know I could hex you into next year and you couldn't do a thing about it" Alyssa said. "He won't hex you, but I could always break your nose again" Lily growled, stepping forward.
Roxanne grabbed her shoulders and pulled her backwards.
She could hear footsteps running down the corridor, and for the sake of what she was about to do, she hoped it was Lorcan and Lysander. She took a step forward and got as close to Alyssa as she could, glaring at the other girl.
"Do you honestly think you can start rumors about my cousin and get away with it? Honestly, as if Michael even believes a word you say about Rose. He probably knows you're shagging the rest of the Quidditch team" she said, smirking as the smile dropped off of Alyssa's face and anger entered her eyes.
"Don't make me hurt you, Weasley" Alyssa growled.
"Try it, Finnigan" Roxanne growled back, taking another step forward.
Alyssa brought her hand back in a fist and swung it forward again, punching Roxanne hard in the face. Roxanne fell backwards, her hand over her eye.
She looked up as the footsteps stopped, but instead of seeing Lorcan or Lysander as she expected, she saw Professor Teddy Lupin standing in front of her, his arms crossed over his chest as he glared at the group.
"Hello, Professor, it's nice to see you again" she said, smiling slightly at him from her place on the floor. "What is going on here?" Teddy asked, looking from Roxanne, to the group who was still watching Roxanne with shock on their faces, besides Alyssa, who looked extremely happy with herself.
"Alyssa punched Roxanne, Professor!" Lily announced, pointing at Alyssa. "Weasley there started it, she was begging to be hit!" Alyssa yelled, pointing at Roxanne, who rolled her eyes and stood with Teddy's help.
"You all know better then to fight, especially in the middle of the corridor where everyone can see you" Teddy said, shaking his head. Roxanne would've laughed if it wasn't for the pain shooting through her head.
Just then, Lorcan returned, dragging Lysander behind him.
He looked at Roxanne's eye, which was starting to bruise, then over at Alyssa, who was smirking in triumph.
"I suppose I'm running a bit late, aren't I?" he asked quietly, smiling sheepishly.
"Just a bit" Roxanne growled, as Teddy took her and Alyssa by the arms, leading them towards his office.
Once inside, he told them to sit down on the chairs in front of his desk, and they did so, trying to stay as far away from each other as possible.
"Do you two mind telling me what went on out there?" he asked, sitting down behind his desk. "She punched me, Teddy! I thought that much would have been obvious from the fact that my eye is turning black and blue!" Roxanne yelled, forgetting to say "Professor Lupin" instead of Teddy.
Teddy let out a sigh.
"Roxanne, I know we grew up together, but honestly, you have to remember to call me Professor Lupin in school, during the summer it's alright, but not at school" he said, before turning to Alyssa.
"Now, Ms. Finnigan, would you mind explaining to me why you punched her?" he asked, shaking his head again. "She started it. Saying nasty things about me" Alyssa muttered. Teddy's eyebrows shot up in surprise and he turned back to Roxanne.
"Roxanne, is that what happened?" Teddy asked.
"Only because she's been saying horrid things about Rose!" Roxanne yelled. Teddy buried his face in his hands and sighed loudly again.
"Alyssa, were you saying nasty things about Rose?" he asked tiredly.
"Because that Potter girl punched me! All because she's jealous that I've got Lysander and she can't have him!" Alyssa yelled.
"Ten points from each of your houses and if it happens again, I'm sending you to the Headmistress, understand?" Teddy asked, taking out his wand. Both girls nodded and after Teddy had fixed Roxanne's black eye, they both left the office and glared at each other once they were outside.
"Just be lucky that Professor showed up, or I would've done a lot worse" Alyssa growled, as Roxanne's friends and cousins raced up to her. She noticed that Lysander was missing from the group.
"We'll see, Finnigan, we'll see" she snarled back.
Alyssa stormed off towards Gryffindor Tower, and Roxanne turned to her cousins.
"It's not just about me and Lysander anymore, is it?" Lily asked quietly.
Roxanne blinked at her in surprise, awed by the fact that Lily seemed to be able to read minds.
She shook her head.
"This means war"
