What girl can resist the Potter charm?

Chapter 7

Al's pov.

Time was flying by, and before I knew it we were in October. I was finally settling into a routine. Monday to Friday I'd go to class's and later in the after noon I'd hang out with my friends or have quidditch practice or do homework. On Saturdays and I'd spend time with my perfect girlfriend and our best mates. Then Sunday I'd do my homework in the morning and then have family time with my siblings and cousins where we'd all write a letter to our parents. I was really excited for this month firstly because there was the first quidditch match of the year Slytherin versus Ravenclaw. I had a pretty good team this year and I'm very confident we'll bring home the cup. And secondly, the head boy and girl this year (did I forget to mention that James is head boy?) have planed a Halloween ball for the 31st. I've been planning on asking Melanie, even thought she's my girlfriend, I want to ask her. But there hasn't been THE right time. I want it to be romantic, so I've decided to ask her on the first hogsmeade trip this week-end. I just hope she doesn't get fend up of waiting for me to ask her. Our relationship has only gotten better. We hold hands in the hall, kiss behind statues and make very big displays of public affection. Kim and Katie say were Hogwarts power couple. Everything was going great. I hear footsteps behind me but when I look around nobody's there.

I blink, "Who's there?" A hand places itself on my shoulder. "Your worst nightmare."

I'm seriously spooked now. I draw my wand and face-

"Scorpius!" I scream not caring who hears, "that wasn't funny, mate." but Scorp just laughs.

"yeah but your face was priceless."

I snort, " just be happy you're my best mate."

"you already had breakfast?"

"yeah, I just left the great hall."

He frowns, " why didn't you wait for me?' I chuckle and pat him on the back.

"wouldn't want me to wait for ever, would you? You know how grumpy I get if of don't eat breakfast." he grumbles something under his breath that sounded something like, " not my fault I sleep in on Saturdays."

'I have to go, Scorp." Scorpius's face falls a little. "I promised I'd meet Fred and James in the Gryffindor common room. But Rose was still eating when I left." as soon as I mention Rose's name he's already walking away.

"Later!" he calls over his shoulder, and I just shake my head and climb the stairs to the 4th floor.

I was sitting in the Gryffindor common room joking around with my older brother and my cousin Fred. When Rose and Melanie come in threw the portrait hole.

"Rosie! Mel!" I try to get there attention. Mel looks my way and a huge grin appears on her face. She nudges Rose in the ribs and I smile bigger as my girlfriends and favourite cousin come over to sit with us. Mel and Rose sit on either side of me on the couch facing Fred and James. I put my arm around Mel's shoulders and lean forward for a kiss. It was slow and sweet and made me want her so much more. When we break away, she winks at me and looks over at my brother. Him and Rose were talking about something.

"Good luck with that Jamesie Wamsie." she smirked. James gasped while Fred choked back laughter. James hated it when people called him that.

"I don't need luck, Red." He grinned evilly. Rose didn't like people calling her that either.

"DON'T CALL-James rolled his eyes. "Someone's PMSing." He whispered under his breath. But Rose heard him so she punched him in the gut. Clutching his stomach he stuck out his tongue.

"Will you please act your age!" I say exasperated turning on him. "You behave like a first year rather than a seventh!"

Hugo, Rose's little brother chose that moment to approach us.

"what's up?" he said flopping down on the ground beside Mel.

"Rose is PMSing!" James cried out before anyone could answer.

"am not!" Rose replied angrily.

"I know," Hugo continued ignoring Rose completely, "she almost slapped me yesterday."

"I did what now?" she asked. Clearly not remembering Almost slapping Hugo.

" we were in the common room? You and Melanie were fighting over lip gloss? You made a point, flapped your hands about, and bam!"

" what amazing cousins I have." Rose said her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Aw, sarcastic Rose." Fred cooed smirking, "Fun." we all chuckle.

"Rosie? Will you play wizards chess with me?" Hugo asks sweetly. Before she can refuse( Hugo inherited uncle Ron's amazing abilities in Wizards chess and is therefore unbeatable) a little second year girl taps James on the shoulder.

"excuse me?" she says politely, " a boy named Louis told me to tell you that you have a code PSOCFB and it's about Lily." wtf ? James's face turns all red and he gives Fred and Hugo a LOOK that practically said "someone is going to get hexed and bad!"

I look sideways at Rose and Mel and they look just as confused as I feel.

"what's PSOCFB and what's it got to do with Lily?" Rose finally asks as Fred and James start putting away there stuff.

"Protect Siblings Or Cousins From Boys. Louis must of seen some boy snogging Lil- SHUT UP, HUGO!" both Fred and James yell at him.

"there not supposed to know about that!" Fred says exasperated.

"knew we shouldn't have included him." James mutters angrily.

Hugo groaned "I'm sorry, guys it just slipped out."

"so, that's how you knew when Roxy and Jake were sneaking around!" Mel accuses my brother, It was actually kind of turning me on.

" and then you guys ganged up on him and you punched him! Rose continued turning on Fred.

"wait!" Mel stops Rose with a look. "Who else is in on this?"

Fred and James looked uncomfortable and looked at each other quickly before turning back to us.

"All the guys in the family except for Al." James announced finally.

Wow wasn't excepting that. Wait I'm the only guy not in on this!

"Why am I not a part of this?"

Fred rolls his eyes, " you always take the girls side in everything."

James nods his head and continues, "so, we knew you'd be against it and you'd tell the girls."

"see and that's why both of you don't have girlfriends and Al does." Mel says from beside me. Rose gets up, probably to go tell all of are girl cousins about this.

"You idiots." she spats at Fred and James turning on her heels and walking away.

"guys?" Hugo pipes in, "aren't we going to go find Lily?"

In less then 10 seconds. Fred, James and Hugo are out of the common room and me and Mel are alone together.

"lets go for a walk by the lake" I say grabbing her hand and pulling her up with me.

"sure." she answers. I put my arm around her shoulders and hope that we miss all the drama that's about to happen.
