Hi, I'm having a terrible day. First off, I got hit in the face with a kickball during a stupid game called 'mat ball', and almost broke my glasses and possibly my nose, people were laughing at me, I needed an ice pack, my nose is red, and I had a dentist appointment. Fun (not really). But here's the chapter!

ALBUS POTTER'S POV

Shayla. Brooks. Is. Perfect.

That's all I can say. I'm still in shock, and the only thing she did was walk by me. I was staring at her beautiful, straight brown hair, green eyes and pretty smile. I forgot that I was outside on a beautiful Saturday evening, or that I was supposedly studying. Then Scorpius hit me in the face (coincidence?) with a paperback book. Well, thank Merlin it was hardcover. But it snapped me away from my fantasy with Shayla.

"Dude!" Scorpius said, following my gaze to her. "Ooh, you like her?"

"Maybe," I muttered, fixing my glasses. No, I don't like her, I love her! I shouted in my head.

"Yeah, cause I'm definitely gonna take maybe as an answer," Scorpius smirked. I hid my face behind my book.

"Hey Scorpius!" Rose said happily, bouncing over to him. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw her. I would have to tease him about that later.

"Uh, h-hi Rose," he stammered, but trying to cover it up with a smile. She rolled her eyes and ran back to Shayla, who was squealing at the sight of Scorpius stammering. Before they walked away, I caught Shayla's eye, and for one fleeting moment, I thought she was going to talk to me. But she turned around and headed back towards the castle with Rose.

I slumped back down onto the grass, ignoring Scorpius's stares. I just wanted to be left alone.

ROSE WEASLEY'S POV

Oh my Merlin, Scorpius is so cute! He started stuttering, how adorable is that! I didn't think I was that intimidating!

But anyway, Shayla still hasn't got a clue. I'm starting to worry. After bidding Lily good night, I went up to my dorm that I shared with Shay.

"Hey Shay," I said, jumping onto my bed.

"Hi," she said, not looking up from her book.

"Accio book!" I said, and her book zoomed towards me. I needed to talk to her.

"Hey, I was reading that!" she smiled.

"Well, you can't. Did you find out who I was talking about yet?" I asked seriously. Her smile disappeared. She nodded. "Who is it?"

"Your cousin, Al," she said, frowning. "What have I ever done to him?"

"Lots," I muttered under my breath. She heard though.

"Like what?" she asked.

"I don't think he wants you to know just yet," I said carefully. She slumped back against her pillow.

"Fine, but I will find out!" she vowed, grinning, and put her right hand up. "I will find out what I've done to hurt Albus Potter."

SCORPIUS MALFOY'S POV

Shayla Brooks. Interesting choice for someone like Al. I will now commence Mission Find-out-everything-you can-about-Shayla-Brooks. And Mission Ask-out-Rose-Weasley-or-I'll-stab-myself!

JAMES SIRIUS POTTER'S POV

Okay, maybe I was wrong before. It's not a bad hair week. But I will get to the bottom of this. I've even noticed something about Al. I caught him staring at my fellow Gryffindor, who's a year younger than me, Shayla Brooks. I mean, she was pretty, popular, of course someone like Al would like her.

Oh my Merlin! Al likes Shayla Brooks!

See James, you've got this covered! So now I'm right again, the world makes sense again, and life is good.

Well, what'd you think? And I've checked the traffic for this story, and a lot of people visit the story, and it has a lot of hits, but I wanna see some reviews! So please please please pretty please review!
