"Rose!"

"What?"

"Come to the Great Hall. You need to eat something."

"No."

"C'mon, James isn't looking for you."

Stephanie Finnigan also known as my best friend who isn't my cousin. She knows me way to well. After all the other girls had given up on getting me to go to the Great Hall she only said one sentence and I was out the door. I was starving for the last few minutes but I refused to leave my room unless someone found out if James was still looking for me. Being the good friend she was Stephanie went out straight away.

The only problem was when I actually got down the stairs I was still a little worried. What if she had been lying just to get me downstairs? Gosh, my life is a mess. I'm hiding from my own cousin because I'm scared he's going to kill me.

"Why are you stopping, Rose? C'mon." I heard her say from behind me.

"Are you sure he's not looking for me?" I asked nervously tugging at the sleeve of my shirt. That was another bad habit of mine after getting myself into trouble.

"No. Go get 'em tiger." She said before pushing me into what I now considered a warzone. Remind me to kill her after this if I'm still alive.

As soon as I went through that door way I ducked down and ran over to the Slytherin table. At least I knew James wouldn't be over there. He hated Slytherins with a passion, except for his brother of course. It'd be pretty hypocritical to start hating your brother all of a sudden just because he got sorted into a different house than you.

"Cover yourselves boys. Here comes Rose Weasley."

I have the best reputation of all at Hogwarts. I'm known as a smart know-it-all, a teacher's pet, and now I'm known as a professional ball kicker. I ignored that comment though and rushed over to Albus before anyone else could say something and put me in the spotlight. Which is not where I want to be right now.

"Psst. Albus did you get my owl?"

"What? Oh, hey, Rose. What are you doing down there? And yes I got your owl. I just-"

"Mhmm. What about you, Malfoy?" I asked cutting Albus off so I could get away as soon as possible. They just didn't understand the seriousness in being on the bad side of James. He was such a sweet boy but then again if he was angry he would rip you apart.

"Yeah. And you left Lyra off the list." He said with a smirk. He knew just how to annoy me.

"And every other girl in Hogwarts except for myself, I might add. Sorry, Albus. What were you saying? Please do make it quick, though. I'm still avoiding James." Glancing around the room my eyes rested back on Albus and I could tell he was trying hard not to laugh at me. A good cousin would be trying to help me.

"Well, just that I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Destiny. I was going to but I was waiting because I know you don't like her much and lately you've been hurting a lot of people…" His voice trailed off and I noticed he was staring behind me.

You should have seen how fast I turned around praying that it wasn't James behind me. Who it was caught me by surprise but maybe I would have preferred James. It was Albus' girlfriend, Destiny. And for Albus, and the fact that I didn't want a detention, I turned around and ignored her. She wasn't worth my time anyway.

"Are we done here?" I asked.

"No we aren't actually." Both me and Albus turned around to look at Scorpius surprised. "Here, Weasley. You might want to keep that to yourself." He said as he handed me a letter.

"Don't you have an owl for that?"

"I do but I didn't think you'd get it since you're hiding from Potter."

"Whatever. Are you done?" Snatching the paper from his hand I rolled my eyes.

"Yes but I don't think James is. In fact here he comes now. He-"

I didn't stay to hear the rest of that sentence. I think I might add track to the list of things I might want to do in the future. I might actually be good at that. Especially with all the practice I've been getting running from James.

I didn't stop until I got onto my bed and had the curtains closed. Panting and out of breath I opened the letter Scorpius had given me and began to read it.

Dear Rose (Who does not like to waste paper.),

For an apology letter you sure know how to insult someone.

I think you'd also like to know that I'm pretty sure I'll still be able to have babies in the future despite the fact that you tried to give me a surprise vasectomy yesterday. And I'm not always in your business I was trying to protect my best friend Albus from getting killed by his psycho cousin who probably should check herself into a rehabilitation center before she goes to Azkaban instead.

Still thinking about our kiss, Weasley? It's an honor really. I mean you say you hate me so much but you constantly think about me. Yes, 'else' could mean a number of things. For example: Else could mean love, magic, kiss, kill. You should be more specific about the words you pick. I do know you have a very enormous vocabulary. You should put it to use so I won't think other things.

And one more thing, James said he isn't out to get you anymore. He got your owl apparently and he says he's sorry for jumping to conclusions when he hears rumors. Whatever you guys are talking about.

Sincerely,

Scorpius Malfoy

P.S: If you really wanted to know, all you had to do was ask. You've only named the girls I've had a relationship with. And just for your information and so you learn not to listen to rumors. I did not have any type of intercourse with any of those girls. Although I can't say the same for you and Paul Patil. Care to let me in on a couple of your secrets? I've heard a bunch of rumors about you.

Ripping up his letter I let the pieces fall onto my bed. How could he annoy me with a letter? He was so damn clever. Not to mention the fact that he had me running from the Great Hall because I thought James was after me when he really wasn't. I'm going to get him for that one. And how did he find out about me and Paul? If he knows about him what else does he know? See I told you we had a bunch of Rita Skeeters going to Hogwarts. The whole school probably knew my whole life story by now. I'll have to be more careful about who I tell things now.

Author's Note: I think I have an obsession with writing letters now. Haha. Thanks for reviews. Enjoy this chapter because I enjoyed writing it at 12:00 in the morning for you guys because you got me in the writing mood. Keep reading because there's so much more to tell. I have so many ideas.
