Another one of my favorite expressions has to be 'the early bird catches the worm'. Why? Well because I'm a morning person. Which would explain why I was already woke and dressed by the time the other girls were just getting up. I still haven't received an answer from Destiny yet. The only reasons that came to my mind of why she hadn't wrote back yet were: A.) She didn't care. B.) She was too lazy to respond. C.) She wanted to tell me in person to keep it private. or D.) She hadn't gotten my letter at all. Either way I didn't really care.

By the time I had snapped out of my thoughts I realized all the girls were gone except Stephanie, who was still fast asleep. Shaking my head I made my way over to her bed and when I sat down I began to shake her slightly. When she didn't wake up I shook her with more force before calling out her name.

"STEPHANIE!"

And just like that she sat up. "I'm up, mom. I'm up." She said before lying back down.

"Oh no you don't." Grabbing her hand I hoisted her out of her bed before she could go back to sleep. I would bet my life that if she were given the chance she would be able sleep all day. And when I say all day, I mean all twenty-four hours.

"I don't want to get up, Rose. Leave me be." Trying to get back to her bed she finally gave up when she noticed that I wasn't letting her go. "Okay. Fine. I'll meet you downstairs and I won't go back to sleep. Promise."

"Alright but if you go back to sleep I'm going to leave you there."

As I walked out the door I heard her mutter something but I couldn't be bothered to find out what it was. I trusted that she would actually meet me downstairs though because she promised. It was still pretty early so I wouldn't sweat her. Besides, when I stepped into the Great Hall there was only about half the people there which meant it had to be really early. Although, I did spot Albus. He seemed pretty out of it too because when I sat down in front of him he was just staring at the table.

"Al. Come back to Earth."

He shook his head before saying, "Huh? Oh, hey, Rose."

"Where's your other half?"

"I don't know. With her friends?" He asked like I was testing him.

"I was talking about the annoying prat but I guess they are kind of the same."

Shrugging he looked back down at table. I wonder if him and Destiny had made up or whatever. She hadn't answered my owl and she wasn't in the Great Hall. For a second I wondered if maybe they had broke up until I felt someone brush against me as they sat down and when I looked over it was Scorpius. And he looked just as confused as I was by Albus' behavior.

"What's the matter with him?" He asked in a whisper.

"I don't know. You are his best friend."

"So are you."

"NO. We're cousins." Yes we are best friends, too, but I could say that just for now.

"Whatever. Albus!"

When he didn't respond we exchanged glances. Either he was just ignoring us for the fun of it or there was really something the matter with him. Or was just thinking about something and concentrating really hard. Anything was possible.

"Hey, Albus. Me and Rose are friends now." Okay. I have no idea where that came from because I was never going to be friends with him. Maybe in the future I might end up being a little nicer but never friends. He was not worth the effort. Giving him a look he rolled his eyes at me. I really hope he didn't think we were friends and was just trying to get Albus' attention.

"Here comes Destiny." He continued with still no response from Albus. "Would you mind if I shagged your cousin?"

Now I didn't know who he was talking about but seriously, there was something wrong with him. When I opened my mouth to say something I forgot what exactly what it was when I felt his hand on my knee. What do you do in a situation like this? Nothing.

"No. Go ahead if you want."

"WHAT?" Me and Scorpius shouted at the same time. Thank Merlin everyone else was off in their own worlds because we were pretty loud.

"He asked me if he could shag my cousin and I said that I didn't mind. I don't see why not. It's not me so I don't really care. Besides it takes two to tango. And I don't see why you're asking me. If anything you should be asking the person you want to sleep with that question instead of me. I don't own anyone so I don't really know. Plus, I doubt you'd get a yes from any of them." He didn't seem to notice that we were staring at him.

"Are you alright, Albus? Are you sick?" I asked with concern.

"No. Why?"

"You're acting weird. First, you stare at the table for who knows how long. And now you're giving me permission to shag your cousin, which was a joke by the way. And did you even hear what I said before?" Scorpius looked at Albus weirdly before looking at me.

"Kind of. You said something about you and Rose and then something about Destiny."

Shaking my head I got up, Scorpius' hand sliding off my leg, and walked around the table. Putting my hand on his forehead I realized that he definitely didn't have a fever. That was good but there was still something the matter with him.

"Albus." I turned his face to mine. "What are you thinking about?"

"Breaking up with Destiny." He said and turned away from me.

"What?"

"There goes Stephanie."

"But, Albus..." I whined. Turning to Scorpius I gave him a pleading look. "Don't you have anything to say about this?"

"Not really." He said with a shrug.

"B-but... I... Never mind." Storming away from them I went over to the Gryffindor table to sit with Stephanie. He was already thinking about breaking up with Destiny and I had just sent her an owl yesterday so she could apologize. I didn't care about the apology I was just trying to patch things up with Albus and his stupid relationship with lies. Some way to repay me.

The bad thing about having an odd number of friends is that you always end up getting paired with someone you don't particularly like. For example: In Divination class I only have one friend, which is Stephanie. I could have been paired with her but my usual partner was Al until he decided to drop the class. In all honesty I should have did that too because I can't stand this class. It's so freaking hot and I'm always sweating and not to mention the lies this class is based on about 'seeing' stuff. The reason why I still couldn't be paired up with Stephanie is because she loves this class and I'm basically negative about it at all times and she doesn't like that so I gave her space to be with someone who actually liked the class. What are friends for? The bad thing about all this is that I had to sit with Scorpius. I swear he plans all this. He's some mastermind I tell you.

For the whole time our professor was talking I had my head down on the table. When all this was over I was so going to drop this class. I could not stand another minute in this heat.

"Weasley." I heard Scorpius say. I didn't even bother to pick my head up.

"I'm sooooooo hot." I whined.

"Are you that desperate that you compliment yourself?"

Lifting my head up I rolled my eyes. Then I noticed the crystal ball on the table. Sighing I prayed that I could survive this class for one more day. If I had to look in a crystal one more time and make something up I was going to go on a killing spree and go to Azkaban. Let's see if our professor could predict that.

"You know the drill. You first."

Leaning over the table I peeked into the crystal ball and saw the same thing I saw every freaking time: Fog.

"I know you're hot and everything but I suggest you button your shirt."

"Huh?" I was not paying attention to him. I wasn't paying attention to anything actually.

"Cleavage, Weasley. You have it." He whispered looking away from me. And I swear I saw him blush. I swear.

Laughing I shrugged my shoulders. "Enjoy it. It doesn't cost you anything. And I'm sure other boys would love to be in your position." After the words came out of my mouth I instantly regretted everything I had just said. I don't know if the heat was just going to my head but I think that was it. Otherwise I was trying to seduce him or something like that.

"Is that how you got Paul?" He asked with a smirk.

"No. I showed him a couple things that I'm particularly good at. Things that would surprise you. He was quite the submissive one after." I could tell that I had his attention now but then I sat back down in my chair instead of leaning over the table. "Your turn." I whispered. Please do remind me to never ever be around him in the heat again. Or around any boys at that. Apparently Annabeth's stories were getting to me.

Waiting for him to look into the crystal ball I watched him.

"What do you see?" I asked signaling for him to look.

"Nothing. I'm not looking."

"Well why not?"

"You're distracting me."

"How?"

"You're sweating."

"I can't stop that."

"I can't concentrate."

"Why?"

"It's hot."

That comment made me stop for a moment. That could mean one of two things. It could mean that he was hot, which everyone was at the moment so I wouldn't say anything about that. Or it could mean that me sweating was sexy, which I highly doubt because we're enemies and we hate each other to death. Just when I opened my mouth to say something it was time to leave and he was gone in a flash.

"Hey, Rose."

"Yeah, Steph." Grabbing my bag I tried to get out of that room as fast as I could.

"I'm not trying to bother you but why are you still going to Divination if you hate the class?"

"That's right." I said and sighed. I had totally forgot to drop the class before I left and I was seriously not going back. This is what happens when I get too caught up in things. This is what happens when people confuse me. I think I'll ask my mom to send me a Remembrall after this. And to think that all this time I thought I had a good memory but I can't even remember to drop the class I hate the most. I need help.

Author's Note: I know I left you guys hanging for a while but there was a lot of stuff going on. There was Pottermore and I had to buy a violin and everything. Just note that I'm probably going to delete this because I wrote this only because me and Writer's Block seem to be in a relationship right now and when me and Ideas get back together I'll switch this chapter for something better. Do enjoy it though. Oh, yeah. I actually wrote my AlbusxRose one shot already so if you want to go read that. I'm much better at stuff like that anyway so yeah. I thought it was great. Anyway... Read, hate it whatever. It's probably going down the drain anyway.
