Charms class is my favorite subject at Hogwarts and the easiest class for me. Not to brag but no one was as good as me in that class. I must have inherited that from my mother because after all she is the brightest witch of her age. That's why when we were asked if we had ever heard of the spell 'Avis' my hand was the first of the few to shoot into the air. After reading as many books as I have there's an eighty percent chance to have heard of that spell. My mom also told me stories of when she first used it herself.

"Hey, Albus." Poking him in the arm I tried to get his attention. "What do you think about Joshua McLaggen?"

"Wha- Wait. Why?" He asked as he shot Scorpius a look of confusion. His green eyes flickering back and forth between his two best friends.

"Oh, no reason. Just asking." I said with a shrug before turning my attention back to the lesson but I could see his worried look as he tried to figure out why I had asked him about McLaggen. I honestly didn't know why I had asked him either. It just sort of came to my mind. Hmm. Maybe I would actually see if Joshua was down for a snog. There's nothing wrong with that right? Who am I kidding? Of course there is. I hate my life right now. I just want to forget about Scorpius but I can't.

Sighing, I rested my chin on the palm of my hand while I absentmindedly twirled a lock of red hair around my finger. As I listened to the teacher drone on I wondered when we would actually get to try out the spell ourselves. I never missed a chance to show off my skill. Nor did I ever miss a chance to learn something new.

"Hey, Rose. Have you spoken with Destiny yet? She's been looking for you."

"And why exactly would she be looking for me? Tell her I'm single at the moment and I don't have another boyfriend for her to steal."

With that I heard Scorpius try to conceal a laugh but fail, earning him a dirty from Albus, who rolled his eyes at me. I could tell that he was growing tired with my hate towards his girlfriend.

It was a year ago that Destiny had cheated on him but I still held my feelings. That was the year that me and Scorpius had actually agreed on something. We both hadn't liked her very much and even tried to get Albus to break up with her before she hurt him. He obviously didn't take our advice and when she cheated on him Albus had gone to Scorpius instead of me for comfort. Needless to say that I was jealous that my cousin had chosen his best friend over me when I too needed comfort, which sparked the all-out hate between me and Scorpius.

"I'm sorry, Albus. It's just that I can't be friends with someone like her. She cheated on my cousin with MY boyfriend." Seeing the look of amusement on Scorpius' face I added, "At the time."

"I know but doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?" He asked with pleading eyes. I'm surprised he didn't get down on his knees and beg me to be friends with her.

"I'll think about it."

Giving him a sympathetic look I turned my attention back to the lesson before he could give me a list of reasons why we should be friends. But when I heard him ask Scorpius if he would be friends with her I turned to put in my comment on that.

"Uh." Scorpius began before I jumped in.

"Do really think that's a good idea? I'm sorry, Albus, but she'll probably try to do him next. Though, I do think Destiny has some type of standards so never mind that."

"Would you be jealous, Weasley? And I'm pretty sure she only goes after your boyfriends, in which I am not included." He said leaning over the table to give me a smug look.

"Weren't you guys friends like two days ago?" Albus asked just as I opened my mouth to let out another smart comment.

"NO!" Me and Scorpius said at the time looking at him as if he were crazy.

"As if anyone would want to be friends with you." We said simultaneously again. What was up with that? I swear he was doing that on purpose.

"Um, guys. I'm friends with both of you." I heard Albus say barely above a whisper.

"Shut up!" Scorpius said at the time as me and that's when I gave up talking to the both of them. If we said one more thing at the same time as if we twins again I was going to strangle him. And I don't care if Albus was between the two of us, I would strangle him, too, if I had to.

Rolling my eyes, I turned my attention back on the teacher just in time to hear him say that we could start trying to perform the spell ourselves. The catch was that we had to do it nonverbally. Thank, Merlin because I was really getting tired of talking at the moment.

Before trying myself, I took a look around the room until my eyes landed on Stephanie. Unfortunately, she was a Finnigan and had inherited her father's knack for messing up spells in an explosive way. Therefore there wasn't long until I heard a crack and saw a puff of smoke erupt from her wand. I thought she had done the spell until I got a clearer look. Her, which was usually straight, was now puffed out and reminded me of my mother's hair when she was younger. When she saw me looking she gave me a smile and a shrug before fixing it. She'd become used to her mistakes by now. Although I could tell she was upset by the laughing of a few students, which included Scorpius.

"Could you stop laughing? Your laughter is almost as obnoxious as your behavior." I said not even bothering to look at him.

"I don't really care for biased opinions."

"Will you guys shut up? I'm actually trying to learn something here and your constant arguing is not helping here. So please, shut up or try to get along for once." Albus said looking up at the ceiling. I couldn't tell if he was really exasperated or looking for something.

"But, Al-"

"No." He said not even bothering to hear my explanation.

Throwing my hands up and looking around in confusion, I gave up. That was until Scorpius Malfoy decided to stick his tongue out at me. Glaring at him I opened my mouth to say something but was once again interrupted by my rude cousin.

"Stop it, Rose."

"But he's mocking me." I whined.

"'But he's mocking me.'" Albus repeated in a girlish voice before glaring at me. "Get over it."

Huffing I turned away from him and picked up my wand. I don't see why I'm getting chewed out and Malfoy's not. It's like the whole Destiny thing all over again. I swear he likes Scorpius better than me. Maybe it's a guy thing. I don't know. Hearing Scorpius snicker I didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

"And you," said Albus turning to look at Scorpius. "Do you laugh at everything? Because to be truthful half of the stuff that you laugh at isn't even funny."

Not even bothering to hear Scorpius' answer he turned around and focused on concentrating. I can't tell you how much I wanted to laugh but I couldn't. Albus was really a nice kid but when you got him mad it wasn't very pretty. That's why most people tried to stay on his good side. And even though I'm his cousin, I would include myself with those people.

Concentrating on the spell, I said the word to myself and gave a slight wave of my wand. When nothing happened I tapped my wand on the desk as if it were broke. Well, there was obviously something wrong with it since the spell wasn't working.

"Avis." I muttered. When it still didn't work I tried to concentrate even harder. If I couldn't do this spell I was a disappointment to my family. And most of all, I'd be a disappointment to myself.

'Avis, avis, avis, avis…' I chanted to myself, flicking my wrist to see if that would make a difference. Becoming frustrated with myself I gave one last flick and sure enough there was a loud BOOM, in which I dropped my wand and covered my ears.

For a second I thought I had a bit of Finnigan genes until I heard, "Nicely done, Ms. Weasley. For a second I thought that you wouldn't be able to get it. But once again you've proven me wrong. Nice job today class. Dismissed."

With a smug look I picked up my wand and stood up. Looking at Scorpius I noticed that he had at least conjured a feather but that's about it. But he had done better than Albus, who had not even a feather as proof that he had tried.

"Wow, Scorpius." I said after I made my way around the table and was now standing in front him. "You did better than what I expected." Picking up the feather I put it in his hair and smiled at him before patting his head.

Walking away I took one last look at the group of yellow, tiny birds flying around the room that I had conjured, before slipping out the door. There was one thing Scorpius Malfoy couldn't beat me in.
