AN: Sort of a filler chapter with some comedy. Enjoy, my lovelys.
Disclaimer: If I owned it...wait, I already did this. Look in the first chapter, losers!
"You're going to spy on Alyssa?" James asked, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise as Roxanne stood in front of them, her hands on her hips, a determined look on her face. "It's not spying! It's observing" Roxanne responded, waving him off.
"It's stalking, is what it is. Why can't you just let it go?" Molly begged her cousin. "Oi! Shut up, no one asked you!" Roxanne yelled, crossing her arms over her chest. "No, you didn't. But we both know that when you get into trouble you can't get out of, you'll go to Lucy, who will get you in twice as much trouble, and then you'll come to me to dig you out of it" Molly said, smirking.
Roxanne opened her mouth to respond, but then closed it again.
"She's got a point, Roxy" Albus said, grinning. Roxanne picked up one of the books next to Rose and threw it at him. They were sitting in one of the very back corners of the library, where they were supposed to be helping Rose study. But so far, she had done the studying, and they had all just sat there.
"Here comes trouble" Lily said, pointing to the door, as Alyssa Finnigan marched in. Instead of coming over to them like they expected, she walked to the table across the aisle from them and sat down next to Thomas Zabini and Alexander Parkinson.
Roxanne leaned closer so she could hear.
"Is there something we can help you with, Finnigan?" Alexander asked. Alyssa ignored him and turned her attention to Thomas, a flirty smile on her face. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me" Molly muttered under her breath.
Everyone at Hogwarts knew that Roxanne fancied Thomas, but didn't have the courage to ask him out on her own. Her cousins had tried to help her multiple times, but no matter how good she was at everything else, she was horrible at talking to any boy she fancied.
"If she touches him, I'll murder her myself" Roxanne growled.
"Hello, Thomas, it's so good to see you" Alyssa said, running a hand up the boy's arm. To Roxanne's utter joy and amusement, Thomas didn't even look up from the book he was reading.
What he did do, however, was grab Alyssa's hand and rest it back on the table without speaking to her at all.
Alyssa pouted and placed her hand on his knee.
Thomas sighed loudly and put down his book, being sure to mark his page first. He turned and shook his head at Alexander, before removing Alyssa's hand from his knee.
"I've heard all the nasty rumors you've been spreading about Rose Weasley, and I don't appreciate the fact you find it alright to say whatever you please about that family. I've met most of them and as far as I can tell they're much better people then you will ever hope to be. Now, come on Alexander, I believe I see some people with whom I'd much rather spend my time" Thomas said, grabbing Alexander by the shirt and pulling him across the aisle.
He pushed Alexander down by the shoulders into the seat next to Molly and sat down next to Roxanne.
"Bloody girl can't take a hint, I hope you don't mind if we intrude on your little meeting here" Thomas said, smiling. Roxanne's jaw dropped open, and she remained silent. Rose elbowed her in the side.
"Of course we don't!" Roxanne yelled loudly, wincing when several students around her looked up and glared.
Molly's attention was completely focused on Alexander, who smiled down at her.
"Hello there, it's Molly, isn't it?" he asked, holding out a hand for her to shake. She nodded stupidly and grabbed his hand, shaking it. "I apologize for Molly, she doesn't have much contact with the world outside the family" James said, patting Molly's head.
"That's quite alright, I think she's cute, myself" Alexander said, grinning.
Molly opened and closed her mouth a few times, before she turned to look at Rose, her eyes wide.
"This would be where you say something along the lines of. 'Alexander, I think you're cute too, and I've fancied you for ages and I scream your name in my sleep!'" Albus yelled, grinning. Scorpius snorted loudly and covered his face with his hands.
"I do not!" Molly whispered.
"That's not what Lucy says" Rose said in a teasing voice. Molly's eyes narrowed at the mention of her younger sister, and she made a vow to kill her later.
"Well, to stop the agonizing need you must feel for me, how does a date to the next Hogsmeade weekend sound to you?" Alexander asked, as he stood and pulled his bag over his shoulder.
Molly's jaw dropped p[en again, and she blinked at him.
"She'd love to, pick her up outside the Gryffindor common room" Rose answered for her cousin, smirking as Molly nodded her head up and down. "Fantastic, if any of you need any help with the devil over there, just give me a call" Alexander said, before swooping down and pressing a light kiss on Molly's cheek.
"I'll see you later, Weasley" he said, a charming smile on his face. He winked at her then turned and walked out of the library.
"I'm glad someone can get a bloke!" Lily yelled, frustration lacing her voice. Roxanne patted her shoulder.
"I think I just came up with a new idea to lure Alyssa's wicked side out of hiding" she said, licking her lips. She turned to look at Thomas, who's eyes went wide. He shook his head, almost as if he could read her mind.
"No, Roxanne, I refuse to go anywhere near that beast" he said.
"It's either you Austin Macmillan, and I caught him and Louis snogging over the summer, so he's out of the question because he fancies blokes, so come on!" Roxanne begged, sticking out her bottom lip.
Thomas sighed again.
"Oh, hell, fine!" he yelled.
James snorted loudly.
"For a Slytherin, you sure are a pushover" he muttered, rolling his eyes. Everyone threw their books at him at the same time, and when he tried to catch them all, he went tumbling backwards off the table and landed on the floor.
"I hate you all" he groaned.
Roxanne ignored him and turned back to her other cousins.
"On with the plan!"
