Hi, sorry I haven't updated in so long! I had exams and stuff, and now school is over, so I should be updating more frequently! Here's the chapter!

SHAYLA'S POV

I broke up with Marcus today. He was being really bitter about the Slytherin loss, so I jumped his sorry butt, much to Rose's content.

Today was Saturday, a week after Hogsmeade. Rose and Scorpius were happily dating (finally!). I was sick of seeing them moon over each other like the lovesick teenagers they were.

I sat at the table, eating lunch, next to Rose, who was turned in her seat so she could face Scorpius, who was obviously sitting at the Slytherin table. Next to him was Albus Potter.

"Shay?" asked Rose.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"What do you think about my hair? Should I straighten it?" she asked.

"Nah, it looks good curly," I answered to her relief.

"Okay," she said, and started talking to Scorpius again. I ate my sandwich before joining in on the conversation again. I caught Albus's green eyes and stared into them.

He was cute, in a bookworm kind of way. His black hair was untidy and disheveled, and his glasses were crooked on his face. I smiled sheepishly before talking to Scorpius and Rose.

SCORPIUS'S POV

Shayla was totally checking out Al! No wonder why he's so happy. I honestly think that they'd be awesome together. He's like a quiet bookworm, and she's beautiful and popular. I've seen couples like that in movies that I watched with Rose. Or sometimes it's the guy who is popular, and the girl is a bookworm. Well, doesn't matter, does it? Albus might actually have a chance with Shay.

ROSE'S POV

Merlin, Scorpius can sure talk a lot. He was ranting about how Albus might have a chance with Shay. And she may not remember, but when we first became friends, we used to rate how handsome boys were from 1-10. She said Albus was a 10, but when I told her that that was my cousin, she didn't say anything about him.

I can so use this against her.

JAMES SIRIUS'S POV

Did I mention that Rosabel was Head Girl? Probably not. The Head Boy is some prat named Andrew Thomas (not related to Dean Thomas). And now they're dating!

Why would she choose him or me? I am far more awesome and handsome than he'll ever be. Maybe I should write to Mum and Dad now. I can't believe I've been resorted this low to ask them for advice. This is just plain sad.

ALBUS SEVERUS'S POV

Scorpius keeps telling me that Shayla was checking me out. Even though I admit that it is nice to hear, I doubt she was.

I realized that in order to get Shayla's attention, I couldn't be the same depressed and reserved guy she never noticed. I had to be bold, and outgoing, like James. Or Scorpius. My best friend was very popular amongst the Slytherins and Gryffindors, and I was just the friend who would rather sit in the library, reading. Well, no more. I was going to get Shayla's attention, no matter what I had to do.

So, what'd ya think? It looks like Albus is going to do a major personality change! Please review!
