Merlin it seems like I haven't written in ages! I've been so busy with school work and flying lessons which began the first Saturday after school began. I wish first years could tryout for house teams, but now I'm getting off subject. I shouldn't be writing tonight because I have a 4 page essay on the importance of knowing the difference between potions, Professor Nott is an absolute nutter, if he honestly believes that we can complete a 4 page essay in three days. Anyway, back to why I'm writing in this instead of doing my homework like I should be; today was the first day since the Howler incident that I've talked to Albus or Malfoy.

I was walking into charms and I sat down next to Teghan Mendel, a muggleborn who was sorted into Gryffindor with me. She was about my height with straight red hair. We had become very close since the howler incident. Anyway, I sat down next to her and we got out our charms books and wands.

"Rose, Al and Scorpius are coming over here." Teghan said pointing toward the door. I looked over and sure enough the two gits were walking right toward Teghan and me.

"Hey Rosie. Hello…err" Al began before he realized he didn't know Teghan.

"Teghan" she says shyly. That's one of the tings I like about Teghan. She's shy so we can just hang out in the common room just talking to each other.

"Oh, nice to meet you I'm Albus Potter" Al smiled. "Rose, Scorp is really sorry and he-" Malfoy interrupted him.

"I got it Al." he said. "The howler wasn't my fault. My cousin Theodore Zabini, he told my dad that I was flirting with you. I'm sorry. He's madder at me being sorted into Gryffindor then you…er, me and…never mind"

"It's more mad you idiot and he still had no right to say any of that stuff about me" I responded. I tried my hardest not to look at him. I glanced over at Teghan and Al who had taken a seat on the other side of her. I was surprised to see that he actually got her to talk.

"Weasley- er, Rose; I can't stop him from saying things like that. I didn't tell him to say that and I don't think that…why are you mad at me?" Scorpius asked.

I was about to say something back but Professor Flitwick stood up to begin class. Class was surprisingly unnerving. I wasn't sure if it was because I didn't really care how to make a spoon dance (which, might I add, I was able to do on the first try) or if it was because Malfoy kept trying to talk to me during class.

I was successfully ignoring him as Teghan and I made our way out of the classroom, but we hadn't taken three steps outside the door when Al and Malfoy caught up to us.

"Rose listen to me!" Malfoy said almost pleadingly. "I'm sorry my father is such a git. I really can't help it I didn't say any of that stuff."

I looked him straight in the eyes. He seemed serious. "Fine" I muttered stubbornly. A smile lit up on his face. "But this doesn't make us friends Malfoy"

All of a sudden his expression changed from happy to looking like I'd just grown two heads right there in front of him.

"Who said I wanted to be friends with you Weasley? I just wanted to apologize to get in your good graces in case by some odd chance you become friends with someone I want to date in the future" he said winking at Teghan.

"Scorp" Al laughed. I just rolled my eyes and Teghan and I walked away .

Can you believe that git? He wanted to apologize just to date Teghan! Teghan said that she wouldn't date him anyway but still … he's a bloody git.
